Hi All,
I'm new to android and have a query. I want to factory reset my phone. I have backed up all the apps using app back & restore and thus have all the apks saved. I want to know that if I restore these apps from the backup, will google play update still work for these? Please guide me.
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Obviously google play updates will work. They don't work only when the APK is signed by another key. And backing up an app dosen't do that. The key will be the same. So you've got no reason to worry about.
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");
Another query
Is there a way to group widgets of a same application? I mean, when I say add widgets on homescreen, all different sized widgets of the same app is displayed ( like desktop visualizer will have 1x1,1x2,2x1,3x1 etc all showing ),is there a way to have it only show desktop visualizer and then on selecting it show all sizes under it ? Please help. I'm using Apex Launcher ( free ) with android 4.0.3 !

when you install that rom simply don`t install gaaps and you won`t have any of those

I don't think you should be messing with gapps... others like the file manager, launcher pro (free) titanium backup (free) etc (if you have alternatives or the paid versions, or i would suggest you leave them as is, as they are very useful apps )can be removed safely...
I have removed
-Car home
-Launcher pro
-Titanium Backup
-File manager (using ghost commander)
other apps i've left them
Do a backup with xrec with the default settings and try removing various apps and test for yourself, if anything goes wrong you can always recover the backed up version

I just think he wants to do a full install and remove the unused apps... maybe he uses market and nothing else (navigation, street view, places etc) so he wants to know if the phone will be stable after removing those apps... so let's stick to advising him on what to remove...

Okay, I have a HUGE problem- I don't really know why, but I cannot access my live wallpaper on my x10a any longer... When I press the menu botton or long-press on the home screen, I can get the option of mediascape and wallpaper only, but the live wallpaper which used to be under those two is gone!! Is it possible that I accidentally deleted this when uninstalling system apps? and can I reinstall it? Or would it be a program that possibly disabled the option?? Please help, I really want my live wallpapers capability back!
Thanks!

Must have Dropbox installed on your pc (DropBox)
Simply click on the link to download it, and it will be saved on your PC.

Are you sure that you have saved all your contacts to Google account but not to local storage??? If yes I would suggest you to reflash gapps if you are rooted if not then a factory reset would help you out

Hi there,
last time I used Titanium Backup for backuping up and restore all apps for changing the rom on my smartphone I got the error, that for some apps the notification was not working correctly.
As I read in the forum it was caused by restoring the apps via Titanium Backup
So, my question is:
Whats the best way to backup and restore all apps, so they can directly work on after changing a rom (with clean flashing).
Thanks for your help,
