Im running stock ALF2 rooted with CWM. I ran a nandroid, installed CM9 and decided like an hour later to go back to stock. I restored to my backup and I noticed today that my power control widget is missing. Is there anyway to get it back or am I SOL?

download "widgetsoid" and make your own! customize what you want on there along with colors and other options. waaaay gooder brah!
Is it possible that it is not even included on the stock rom? Can someone who is stock check for me. I just want to make sure nothing is missing even though I never went in and deleted anything.

I am unhappy with ji6, my gps and compass no longer work and i've had nothing but problems since the update. also the call waiting dial screen lag sucks. I would like to go back to my previous rom which was basically stock rooted with ji2 gps fix and accurate battery mod. I have this saved as a backup, but I am afraid to flash it. When I flashed the new ota update it bricked my phone. I was unble to load my previous backup through clockwork recovery. I had to completely wipe my data and start over. any advice on the safety of trying to flash back to my backup rom, will it conflict with the ji6 framework?
Thanks
There should be no issues at all. I assume you still have the stock kernel too... if you had an oc kernel I would go back to stock first.
just go to rom manager and click on restore, then select your old backup... should take you to cwr and reboot when done.
My first thought was to download a custom rom. I just flashed bionix 1.7 and it seems much better than stock JI6.
I would really urge doing that...
yeah, maybe i'll try bionix first, It's just that I was really happy with the way it ran before this stupid update.
I also was fond of my setup before the update. Bionix made it better again. Hope you like it, worst case go back to stock.
I will say I would make sure you can revert to stock from bionix. I have seen a number of posts with issues, but that may be from people who had the oc kernel? I can't say with certainty.
Same here, i flashed bionix (first time using bionix) I flashed bionic 1.7 w ji2 modem oc/uv no voodoo and this thing flies! Gps is fine, navigation is usable.

I tried flashing back to my backup...(stock, rooted with bat mod and ji2 gps fix) and it got stuck in the vibrant startup screen, same as when I ran the ota. I guess my previous setup is no longer an option. Before I try another rom and have to redo all of settings and apps again, I would like to try to at least get the gps working on the ota ji6. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated. So far I have tried all of the things I was able to find in other threads...deleted gps data, made sure lbstest settings are stock, turned off wireless, etc. I still get no locks at all.
Is bionix really that good? I'm considering it. I'm on my stock rom, stock kernel.
I think i'm going to try it out.
I am hoping someone has some knowledge of this...I had a lot of trouble getting CWM recovery to boot on my vibrant, but thanks to these forums, I installed ODIN, got back to Eclair, re-rooted and got CWM recovery to boot. I am using the Auxoria ROM and when I installed it I selected wipe data, etc, but when I flashed it through CWM, I am not sure if it did it or not. It appears to be working, but it seems to have a few strange behaviors from before. I then restored all apps and system data from Titanium Backup. Then got to thinking, can Titanium backup restore any system data from the Eclair ROM that would cause issues? When you restore after flashing a ROM, are you supposed to NOT install system data? I wonder if anyone has any experience with that and can make a recommendation. And Happy Mothers Day out there to any mom's out there that give so much to raise a family!
Restoring system data is absolutely a no-no
You typically can restore the green ones, if on the same os... But if you had eclair settings and restored on froyo, I bet you have a lot of little bugs.
I would odin to jfd, flash a new rom and then restore just the apps+ data.
Also, axura was great, but done master has moved to greener pastures you may want to try another. I think master said he would try and support this device still, but that's to much to ask of him I think.

Thank you....What other ROM would you recommend. I looked for one with a working GPS, and minimal bugs. I really want to do cyanogen 7 like my mytouch4g, but it doesn't seem ready yet. Am I just able to reflash and wipe data when I do? Any reason I really have to redo my odin and eclair refresh?

You can't go wrong with Trigger or the new Bionix NextGen.
I would go back to stock, just so you know you'll go to the next rom with no bugs.
Check my signature. Amazingly easy to go to jfd > new rom.
I would suggest Trigger for having everything work as it should/theming.
I went back to eclair and flashed trigger 3.2, but it seems pretty bland? No way to edit functions for home keys, or customize much of anything...looks like 2.2 really, am i missing something? I selected launcher and want to try TW launcher but I can't see where I can do that. I wanted to edit my grids but don't see that either...like replacing the app of web browser with text app...used to be able to edit on homescreen but that is even gone...
Okay I finally got around to putting some new ROMs on my 3D. I tried Supra 2.2 then Olympus Trinity Titan HD then Wtsb 2.0. Well I decided I wanted to go back to supra. Now I did nandroid backups of the system before I did anything, I also did one after trying the supra. Nothing will restore. When I try, a couple lines of green text flash too quickly to read then the screen goes blank and never comes back. I have to pull the battery to reboot. I have tried complete wipe and re-installing supra, but the market keeps FC right away. So i can't even get titanium backup on there.
Please help.
Follow up, I have market running on supra now and will probably stick with it for a while, but I am afraid to do anymore messing around because I don't trust nandriod now.

sounds like a bad flash or bad d/l. I would re-d/l the recovery and try one of your previous backups. (ofcourse same recovery as previous) or might not work)
If that doesn't work, since a bad load/flash went through your nan could have been goofed up as well. I would try not really another rom, but make a back up of the one that you have now, then wait about 10 min and do somn diff, then restore the one from 10 min ago... Not sure what else to say unless we knew all..
what hboot, backup, etc... anything else that can help...
Just to clarify, nandriod does not copy the kernal. So if you restore an older backup after loading a rom with a different kernel, you might have to re-install the old kernal too. right?
By default I am pretty sure it backs up the boot partition which has the kernel in it

even with hboot 1.5?
Maybe that is why my restores kept crashing... I was using recovery, but had not launched recovery from fastboot, whish as I understand is how you flash kernels if you are not using flash image.
I've flashed my phone a few times before, but the last time I've done so, Titanium Backup decided not to work, so I had a newly flashed ROM but no data to go with it. I backed up everything on my phone once (by means of copying&pasting all of the folders) on my computer, but putting them back on my phone didn't do anything.
Now I want to flash again, but I'm clueless as to what app I should be using to back up my phone, and which app would make it possible for me to have my data backed up. I know it sounds a bit vague, but basically, I'm looking to back up my phone so that when I clear everything and flash it, I'd like to restore my apps as well as the data along with it (like high scores in games). Does anyone have any idea what I should do? I currently backed up my current ROM (Android 4.3 and HTC Sense 5.0) with ROM Manager (v5.5.3.7), but I don't know if I can use that back up since I'm looking to flash Android 4.4.2 onto it.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: And I have one off-topic question... Should I flash gapps before or after flashing the ROM? I flashed gapps before and after last time and it worked fine, but I'm curious to know what the correct order is.
I toyed around with this tab too much I can't even tell you what I have installed ROM wise. I know I restored using CWM and now I have some version of Tegra II Modz loading the tab. I restore back to stock otherwise as it has the original screen and apps installed. Basically its back to stock expect I can't download or install any apps, play back video, ... and currently has the non working "gMarket" app.
My question is, can how do I completely restore this thing back to stock? Or what's the next move?
Thanks
