I'm just getting the hang of flashing ROMs and want to try CM7.
I'm on UnNamed now so I'm assuming all I have to do is:
1. go into CWM and complete a backup (done today)
2. go into CWM and do a wipe/factory reset
3. flash the CM7 and google apps from CWM
4. restore from the backup to get all my apps/settings back
Thanks for the support.
Of you do APPS AND DATA only without touching thru system data then yes.

Not sure what you mean by "apps and data" only. I just clicked backup in CWM and figured this back up everything. Are the steps I listed above incorrect?
When you select 'backup' in CWM it creates an entire copy of your system- your ROM, kernel,
Modem, and your Apps and settings. You got the right idea of how to go from ROM to ROM but if you hit restore in recovery you'll just end up flashing back to CM7. nyamoV2 was referring to titanium backup which is used for backing up Apps and settings. I don't use it but from what I gather you never want to restore system data with it. But can be used to back up Apps. Although upon signing into Google market your Apps start downloading again anyway. Its good to make backups in recovery in case something goes wrong flashing a new ROM or theme or whatever.

How do I backup all apps and setting in TB? Only see how to do them one at a time
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
You gotta get the pro version.. It lets you run a batch of ALL your apps instead of doing it 1 by 1

Oh...OK so I backup the apps in TB...once I flash CM7 I assume I have to reinstall TB then go into CWM then restore from there?

Play around with the settings. CM SETTINGS> Notification power widget> widget buttons.
..I think . I'm actually running UnNamed right now so I forget exactly where the setting is.

I'm back on UnNamed...no data issues now. I know everyone says to flash twice and I did

God I keep hitting the wrong button
Anyway, that's odd. I'm usually running CM7 as my daily driver and never had any data speed issues. Some users have changed their APN's and that seems to help. I did at one point but reverted back. Oh well

I always do a backup with nandroid if I'm looking to save the rom I'm currently running. Then after that I do a wipe/factory reset then also a format /system. Then install the new rom. Always has worked perfectly.
CM7
is this rom better then unnamed of MiUI?
I'm trying out the stock rom on my s2 but Titanium doesn't seem to restore sms properly to it like it does going to other custom roms. I can see the conversations and last text in convo view but I click on the conversation and its blank. Even after reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik etc.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Look in the Play Store for an app called SMS Backup & Restore (by Ritesh Sahu). Works perfectly every time. You may have already lost your previous text messages, but going forward when using this app you won't have any more problems.
Thanks, I'm going to try it. I'm back on my nandroid so its not too late

Do not restore system app only their data.3rd party u can restore apps + data.if an app fc's or acts weird then clear it's data in appmanager.
Are you using JB rom?

Well, don't do that. As has already been said, only restore system data. I personally would reinstall the apps and then restore the data.
Please realize that CM9 is not Samsung based like Omega V18.
Hey folks.
My "Application Manager" keeps crashing everytime I open it. No error message, simply closes by itselft after about 5 seconds.
I can't tell what is causing this. I already wiped cache and dalvik, disabled some apps and cleared some space in internal memory. But nothing works.
I've flashed a new kernel (Speedmod) some days ago, but I'm almost sure that I've used application manager after that.
I've been playing with Clean Master and SD Maid, maybe this problem is related to these apps? I don't know.
I would appreciate some help and tips...
Full wipe?

Must have another way...
You've obviously installed something recently or the data of something has changed and caused an incompatibility that's causing this.
If you're sure it worked after the kernel, there's not much you can do without a full wipe
Or restore the nandroid you took before flashing the kernel
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I'm afraid I'll disable each recent installed app until I find the culprit.
Just thinking about a full wipe and I'm already tired. Hehe

Using titanium? Yeah that might work. It could be app data from a system/app though

I got a recent nandroid backup here. There is an option in TB to restore apps from a nandroid backup. I was thinking about restore "Settings" system app. Is that safe to do? The Application Manager is related to settings app, right? I cannot find an app with that name.
Yes it will be the settings app, but its likely its not the settings app causing the problem.
My sound menu used to do the same thing. I did a wipe and restored everything in titanium one by one to find out what caused it. Guess what it was?
That's right "wallpaper settings"...
See what I mean?

I just saw this; sorry bro.
Let me have a look at this issue. Initial thoughts would be to ask if restored any apps from Titanium Backup, have unknown sources checked, and to confirm that you indeed can download and install apps from the market.
OK, it looks like you may have restored the app from TiBu.
Here are a few threads for reference...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379703
http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...estions/2608744-language-pack-download-failed
I'll look into Zedge in a moment. But my initial thought would be to clear app cache and re-download any restored apps from TiBu, delete the app, and reinstall.
Be back anon. Please stand by...
OK, for Zedge, I'm not seeing similar issues, but the commonality is close enough. Try deleting the subfolder for Zedge on your SD card, reboot, and the app will recreate the folder needed on boot.

Thanks for the reply Mic, I'll give it a try after work, however I didn't recover any apps using TB, I can dl from the market, and I do have unknown sources checked.

Tried talk quick before I leave, didn't work with zedge, and I've looked everywhere for the swiftkey file to delete and I can't find it, looked through twrp, es, and ROM toolbox.. Note sure where it is at.. I'll mess with it more when I get home, I've restoring others backups with the same result.

What he said. I think TWRP fix permissions was mentioned in one of the threads I linked. Even if not, it's an easy task.
Let us know if this works.

Wyatt exactly did you fix in twrp, I've looked for the com.Swiftkey language pack for that others have mentioned but I can't find it.

You think if I do a recovery and wipe internal storage that would help, I don't ever do that when I do recoveries. This is just driving me crazy.. Thanks though for helping so far..

All you need to do is go into recovery and tap the advanced button. In there one of the things you can do is reset premitions. Do that. It is every quick. Then you should be fine. I tried hard resets and it did not work. This did

May be time to start from scratch with the Skunk Ape1 file, followed by reroot and re-installation of recovery. Then pick another rom.
Pretty drastic, and I'll try to see if there are easier routes, but I'd prepare for that now. Couldn't hurt.
I have an annual dinner I have to go to, but will check back later tonight.
Until then, please describe any other behavior you've noticed...

I see you ran the Skunk Ape1 rollback. I did think that you had other options, but it's the cleanest. For me it's a nightmare to restore everything, but it just has to be done sometimes if you want a solid experience. I had errors a while back when restoring a bad backup, and my option was to flash a new rom. Things just kept degrading. Had the Skunk Ape1 full restore had been here then, it's what I'd have done. Inasmuch as you were on a CM rom, it seemed the safest play.
Sorry about that, but I hope things get cleared up for ya.
