I changed my status car icons on my stock rom with my milestone x2. is there anyone who can help me get my stock icons back.
If you have a back up go into recovery restore, advance restore, restore system should be all good if not you might have to reflash the rom. I don't use programs for my edits I like to do edits I like messing it up myself this is how I restore my mistakes.

i tried to take a stock rom(KG5) and take everything out of it.
by everything i mean to take everything im not using(from the stock rom-which is the most[prefer a lot of 3rd party apps])
when i flashed it without all these things i automatically restored data from the CMW backup i did.
the result is wicked!! but...
here is my qustion:
what kind of apps the restore data actually restore. i know it restored the launcher im using(because i eraced the TW LAUNCHER from the CMW file)and my other apps but does it restore all of the samsung apps?samsung APK's?
i figure its not because going to SYSTEM\APPS shows no sing of the other APK but i might be wrong.
i wanted to share it with other people but i figured that if it restore other APK or SAMSUNG apps it's useless. does it?
thanks for the help.
I would think when you do a backup in CWM it will back up exactly what you have on the phone at the time.
If you flash a new rom then restore from CWM, all you are going to do is write over your new rom and replace whatever was on your phone at the time you made your backup.
you didnt understood.
i ment that i did advanced restore---restore data and not a whole restore option(or restore system option).
i did changed the rom,kernel and modem(it didnt restore it from the old backup) but im not sure about the actual system files
I am also interested in this so i dont make another thread on the subject.
So using CWM restore,what does restore data and restore system actually restore .
Thx for your time.
data restore restores your /data partition
It is all user apps that you have installed and most settings.
System restore restores all apps that is preinstalled on the phone/in the rom that you have backed up.
So if you flash another rom, and then only restore data in advaced restore you will only restore your own apps from market or manually installed.
So i will get my own apps back and the settings i had before .
Thx alot man.
Not all settings, but all your app settings.
Most system settings are stored under /system
Like wifi, apn and stuff like that.
Still new to flashing and such, but reading and learning. I was looking to add the Blue ics style icons from DAGr8's ICS rom, but wanted to keep a backup of the originals incase. I backed up the system ui with titanium backup, is there anything else I should include in the backup, or is that sufficient.
Thanks
Found my answer.
Even tried my hand at editing the .apk, all went well.
I have been using various flavours of XXLSJ and one time or another have required restoring my nandroid backup. Funny thing is that when I do a nandroid restore, it does not really restore the image like it was before. Example is if I changed my battery icon from green to blue and then decided it was not for me. When I try to flash a mod that would get me back to green it does not work. So then I decide to do a nandroid restore and after restore, my statusbar has not been restored like when I backed it up. Still blue battery. Ha ha. It appears the systemui.apk was not backed up and the restore actually does not replace the preload folder or am I wrong.
I think that because of the file structure of the leaked XXLSJ it has a preload folder where all the system files go. And when I changed my battery to blue, I had to replace my systemUI.apk which was in the preload folder. My question is: Does nandroid backup actually backup the preload folder? Or does it just back up the system folder which contains links to the actual apps? This is the only answer I can think of. Guys I am sure you had this experience. I am using PHILZ kernel if that helps since this is the only kernel currently working with the leaked rom. Anybody care to comment? Hope we get some answers.
I have had the same problem, one time I make a backup then tried a mod I didn't like restored the backup but it was only partially reverted. Some new features persisted will some did revert.
So the backup system definitely needs updated to deal with the preload partition.
Hello everyone, I was just wondering if I have a nandroid of a specific ROM with many mods, a theme, etc.. and then changed this and now currently on a completly other Rom.
The question is, do I just simply restore nandroid and everything will work perfectly? No FC or other issues? I mean do I have to clear data or format or do something before, or just simply restore and it will be as smooth as it was before?
Thank you very much for your time.
I think you can just restore without wipe, but let someone more experienced answer this in more proffesional way

A simple restore will restore everything from your nandroid and nothing more. Any mods or changes you've made, files, folders, or apps you've added, or ROMs you've flashed after the backup was made won't be present. So yes.. just restore your backup and you'll be exactly where you left off!

You misunderstood me. I customized a rom the way i want, with all the mods i want, icons, themes etc.. Now i made a nandroid after i finished all the customization.
The question is, i want to make another rom customized also but differently, and then if i didnt like the new customization, can i just normally restore my old backup and all my mods, customization, theme will come back with no issues?
Thanks for your time

Maybe I worded it wrongly but yes. Just restore and you won't have to worry about any issues.. Theme, mods, customization will all be back with no issues

Restoring the backup will literally restore the phone state exactly - including everything, apps, data, settings, mods
I just want to pre-define things like animations speed, lockscreen wallpaper and Navbar buttons on my ROM. What i know is that this info is on a nandroid backup but what files are the ones that store the data of the system settings on the data partition? I tried include some obvious files like the ones on /data/data/com.settings.android but it didnt work, so i think something else must be included too in order to make it work like when you restore the nandroid back up... any ideas?
