use 'titanium Backup' app from stores to back all ur apps and then after flashing 'Omega Rom' u can restore all ur apps using the same (Titanium backup app)

Pls tel me which Rom will suit for my s2 . Omega it.consumes battery like anything. Suggest Rom which consumes less battery.. plzzz

No. It doesn't need to.
Also, you should get Pro version of Tb, its much better as you can restore in batch mode without having to accept each install when restoring.

Ok I purchased titanium pro .. I backed up full .. in batch mode. Now clarify me whether the music and images gallery will also be backed up or not ..

Now then guys... i am thinking about rooting my phone to put jelly bean on my samsung galaxy s2 .... i was just wondering views on which is the best one to go for ( LINKS PLEASE ) and is it easy to do you know the usual questions you will have heard them before lol IM A NEWBIE !!!
Cheers People
Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.

Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

What type of data? Music and photos are saved to the external SD card for me, and as for game save data, I believe that is externally backed up as well.

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

And when I get bored of a rom I just restore my nand backup of something previous.

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

hmm dude,
when you installed over stock 4.0.3 then you must make a full wipe/factory reset, when not you get fc´s but you can backup your apps with titanium backup and restore them when you finished installing. dont restore system apps!
I did exactly what you have written....I actually read everythng about flashing for 2 days and then proceded with flashing.....I have disabled google now and gmail apps which cont run in backgroud but problem seems to persist though little improvement is there.....

[Q] CWM Advanced Restore>Data On New Rom

Hi!
I was wondering, before I do something stupid , if there's any problem on doing an advanced restore, restoring only data, so I could get my apps, contacts, etc on my just flashed ROM Cyanogen Mod 9, for locked bootloader. I have two nandroid backups, one with the stock ROM ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10, and the other with a custom rom, I think called ZXperience.
So, can I do a data restore easily without messing anything?
Thanks!
PS: I'm using Sony Xperia U
Depends on cwm version, if it's 6 then you can't but if below then you can

Thanks for response!
Well, I had 6, so I install the v5... I did na advanced restore from the stock ICS ROM. Now, when turn on, it shows sony logo, then it shows cyanogen mod boot animation, then flashes, get's back to sony logo, and then to cyanogen mod boot animation again and so on.
I can't still boot into CWM Touch Recovery.
How can I restore my settings, contacts, etc?

Ahaha, sorry if I'm being to noob, but I was able to sucessfully install my apps, how do I get my contacts and app data back? I see a lot of contacts and data related files but do I have to manually placed them in the right folder or there's an easier way?
Thanks!

I wasn't sure, a little odd, but it's ok. I used Titanium Backup Pro to restore app+data from a nandroid backup. Much easier.
Thank you so much for the help and patience!

U can create backup using 5.xxxx but restoring it will give a boot loop
however u can flash stock firmware using odin and then restore app data from the backup file using titanium backup
i have done this myself. However it is a long process
the backup option is there along with restore option
Still the cwm u want to avoid is this one ie 5.xxxx because after flashing stock rom thru odin u will still have bootloop
so after flashing stock, use stock recovery to factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache etc. then only your phone will start
Sir, one more question
My gs lags badly whenever i play games including subway surfer, paper toss
Plz tell how to solve the lagging problem
Sent from my GT-S5282 using xda premium
That is y we r trying to make custom Roms to reduce the lag BTW if u want install pureperformance and pure graphics that is available in one of the threads or else install seeder and that reduces a lot of lag
Download a third party launcher like nova launcher as it consumes lesser ram
Also greenify is a good app to limit background processes
Also go to developer options and set animation scales to .5 x that helps too
DO NOT CLEAR RAM
PEOPLE THINK THAT IT REDUCES LAG BUT IT DOES NOT
Click thanks if u find this helpful
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I ve already done two things
Nova launcher is the default launcher n its best no doubt
I installed gl tools n also greenifyed fb, msngr etc now phone is lagging less but games r still lagging
N I know nothing about seeder will you plz post the link

I have edited my gltools post for better speed...
and u can find pure graphics hd in my signature below
seeder can be found on play store
or here at xda apps section
most high end games will lag as expected but the games you mentioned shoudnt maybe somethings taking a lot of resources in ur fone
sometimes when i install a lot of apps i find this problem that some app is misbehaving though finding it is quite difficult
when u remove it the fone becomes normal again
except seeder u may also use ram manager
Hey guys...
Coming soon with a new build which has nexus look Hope u like it guys
