I'd do a Titanium backup. Change the Backup folder over to your extSDcard.
Also in settings (Menu button) there is Special Features - Create Update.zip - do that and move it across to your extSDCard so it doesn't get wiped at any point.
Then when you full wipe, you can flash your new ROM, set it up, reboot to Recovery and flash the Titanium Update file, then in the ROM, run TB to restore all apps and user data.
Not sure about the notification and wifi issues - is anyone else on LS ROM having a problem?
To get superuser back, go to app store, uninstall it and reinstall - should then be in your apps folder.

Im on my way to flash Axura 2.2.5.7 on my rooted vibrant . I titanium backed up all my system data and all apps using ‘back up all apps + system data’ feature of titanium. I, then, downloaded Rom Manager *free version… and flashed clockworkmod recovery…then rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid back.
I have now downloaded ODIN 3 v 1.70 on my computer.
I have been reading various guides (including vibrant wiki and bible) on how to root and flash roms.
Since I did ‘flash clockworkmod recovery’ yesterday..do I need to do it again?
Can any one direct me to a step by step process on flashing the Axura Rom.
I guess it’s the fear of the unknown while flashing for the very first time.
Thanks
EDIT: I have copied the titanium folder from internal memory to my pc just in case. I also would like to make a back up of rom manager (nandroid backup or whatever it is caleld) onto my computer... How do I do that? I wasn't ablt to locate the folder.

The only other thing you need to do, is put the Axura2257.zip (Or whatever it's name is) on the INTERNAL memory card & flash via clockwork Mod or Rom Manager
sorry..a noob here and it might be a stupid question: Can I also use ODIN to flash the rom? I feel I would be more comfortable working through ODIN.

Just make sure you have two files on your 16g internal memory - Update.zip and the Axura.zip(can be named anything other than Update.zip for obvious reasons) file.
Reboot the phone into recovery. If it's blue then hit reinstall packages until it turns green with more options. This may take two times so don't freak if it's still blue after the first, just do it again.
Once in the green recovery go to install file from SD and select the Axura.zip file. Agree to everything and let it run it's course. Once done hit reboot now and enjoy.
thanks guys. just flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 ROM without any hiccups for the first time
Now need to restore apps and settings
Now one more question: What is voodoo and what is the benefit of enabling it on Axura 2.2.5.7?

Woah.. Were you on Android 2.1? Don't restore settings if you were.
Voodoo just converts to EXT4 (Which is faster)
Yes i was on 2.1. I read your post after i had started restoring all apps and data. i turned off my phone when i read this post. how can i get my data stored if not settings?

You can't to my knowlege... 2.1 & 2.2 are very different, and if you restore the settings & apps then there are going to be allot of problems.. I would just reflash it and manually setup the settings this time, and then backup everything up for the next ROM you choose..
that sucks. I have alot of apps (around 70/80). I had customized settings on them. Its sad not being able to restore those apps and their settings. I can do with system settings.
But overall thanks alot for a great phone experiences. its extremely snappy now and im loving my phone again hehe...
Two things from my experience.
1. You should be able to restore all your apps you backed up in Titanium Backup as it seems to be able to tell what apps won't work with Froyo. You'll see them with a line through them in Titanium. Just restore missing apps with data using the batch feature. Do not restore the one with + all system data.
Then go to Backup/Restore at the top and scroll down to green [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and click that and restore it too (this is your text messages). You must restart your phone now for it all to take effect.
2. After you complete #1 - Hit up the market for Voodoo Toggle Reboot app (free). Once it's open you can Enable/Disable Voodoo with it. Click it if it's not green and then hit Reboot Now to activate it. You'll hear Linda talking to you while voodoo installs which may take a bit so don't worry.
Voodoo changes the file system to ext4 which is way faster and very stable. Your phone will fly with it.
You will have to setup new settings for everything else this time, but if you use Launcher Pro you'll be able to backup your desktop settings for next time. Once you get everything the way you like it, backup with Launcher Pro and then with Titanium Backup for next time.
Make sure you don't flash anything else through clockwork with voodoo active unless the Dev says it's ok to do so. An example would be when Axura 2.2.5.8 comes out it'll probably be ok to flash without messing with voodoo (crosses fingers).
Ok...so I've been putting off updating my vibrant to a custom rom for awhile now. I know there is lots of info on how to install a custom rom...but I'm wondering what everyone does to prepare?
1. How do you backup your apps? Titanium? Just reinstall from market?
2. Other than installed apps, what other stuff do you backup?
3. Is there a way to do a 100% backup(like an image) so I can go back to my phone a it is right now? If for some reason I wanted to...
4. What else needs to be done to prepare before starting the update process?
5. How long does it usually take to backup, install new rom and then tweak and reinstall everything to get you back to where you were before beginning?
Thanks fort any help or even helpful links if you have any...!

I typically flash in this order if things:
1. Update all my apps.
2. Open titanium backup and update busybox and check settings (i have my backup folder set to "/sdcard/external_sd/TitaniumBackup" cause I like everything on my external sd card.
3. Check filters in TB set to all.
4. Run batch "Backup all apps + all system data" (i have about 150-200 apps installed at any given time, it does take a while to process that many apps, so i make sure that "settings> applications> development> keep screen awake while plugged in." is checked.
5. Reboot into clockwork recovery and perform a Nandroid backup if you so desire, and then flash disable_voodoo if you have it and reboot.
6. Walk away for 20 minutes while voodoo is disabled, then reboot.
7. Boot back into recovery and flash a custom rom.
8. Enable voodoo and reboot for voodoo conversion then into rom.
9. Reboot again after letting freshly installed rom sit untouched for ten minutes or so then open market sign in to google account.
10. Open TB and settings were set to auto sync so were good to go after it loads all info from os. Run batch of your choice but I start with restore all user apps w/ data, then restore system data.
11. Once all is done reboot into recovery and delete cache's and reboot.
This is just what I do, I rarely make a nandroid backup image because I've yet to every need to restore from one and I've ben flashing since my htc dreem, feel free to critic.

EDIT: it usually takes a cpl hours to be back to normal operation where you have everything setup the way you had it.
EDIT: I also didn't mention that I also backup and restore my adw settings. (but not till after the second boot when I log in to google.)

the only thing i don't agree with the above post, is backing up and restoring your system data with titanium. if you inadvertantly restore system data to a different rom, it can cause lots of problems. there are a few pieces of system data that are safe, but not all. the system data i have successfully moved without problems from rom to rom are:
Bluetooth Pairings
[Bookmarks] Browser
[Calendar] Calendar Storage
[User Dict] com.android.providers.userdictionary
[Contacts/calls] Contacts Storage
and
Wifi Access points
Basically in titanium, the system data listed in green should be safe to restore, anything in red, let it be.

The items in red and with a check mark icon won't restore anything because there's no data according to the legend... I don't know why their included in the list? Or am i missing something. I'm sure there's a thread for this topic somewhere and I would look If I wasn't so gd lazy! haha but anyway I haven't had any problems restoring select system items in TB when restoring apps and data after a custom rom install. I've flashed between all the major roms on xda since the phone's release.

[Solved]
Hello XDA
(Please tell me if this is the wrong forum for help)
So, I was plodding along happily with CM7 on my Optimus One, then I decided to Nandroid backup and flash a CM9 alpha ROM here.
Once I wiped user data through amon_ra recovery, I flashed it and it worked fine (except I was on old baseband, so GSM didn't work).
When I decided to Nandroid back to what I had previously however, BAD THINGS HAPPENED.
All the user apps didn't show up in the app draw. All the widgets had a problem. The CM7 theme had vanished. Even the google apps had vanished.
I tried to reflash the Market but it didn't work and was still missing.
I was able to Nandroid back to the ICS alpha rom and it worked fine.
I then tried to restore the stock LG firmware through the official updater app. It refused to boot, getting stuck at the ANDROID logo.
I then had to manually flash Clockworkmod recovery through emergency mode. I then proceeded to Nandroid to my CM7 save. Which booted, but still had the same problems. (I flashed amon_ra from there so I could use my other backups)
All the normal functions work properly eg. Camera, USB, ADB, GSM, 3G, Data, web browsing.
I also noted that everything is sitting normally in the data partition when looking through ADB, but not through File Manager, is that normal?
Help, please?
Thanks x 1000000 in advance
Titanium Backup?
Can't get it installed.
Well, it is installed, it's just unusable.
I can't get the Market so I can't try and install it.
And attempting to install it's APK with File Manager results in "Application not installed"
Okay, I seem to have figured it out, while I had this problem, my dalvik-cache was inaccessible as a folder. I deleted it in ADB and recreated it.
It was because when I wiped user data to flash ICS, it also wiped the SD-EXT partition, which my dlavik-cache was on, that was not backed up.
Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm asking something that has been asked a thousand times before, but I can't seem to find a satisfying answer..
At this moment my S3 is running on standard Samsung firmware that I have rooted with Samsung GS3 ToolKit v3.0.
I think I read somewhere that it is advisable to make a backup of some certain parts of your phone, copy the ROM to your phone (I want to install CM9) and reboot your phone with the button combination (home, vol up, pwr) to get it in CWM mode(?).. Then you have to erase something, I think.. and choose the .zip that you've copied to the phone.
Now the next thing that I can't quite figure out, what will happen to all my settings? Like the Wi-Fi networks from friends that I have saved and conversations in Whatsapp.. Will I lose all of that? Or is there a way to save that (with Titanium Backup? although I'm not quite sure what to choose there..)
Can someone tell me if I'm somewhat in the right direction? Or maybe tell me what forum post I should take a look at to get all of this figured out..
Thanks!!

If you have an International S3 and NOT a US model just:
- Download and install the latest CF Root by Chainfire with Odin v3 3.0.4 (you now have root + busybox + cwm)
- Make a nandroid backup in cwm
- Download the latest CM9 nightly + gapps
- Copy them to you internal memory card
- Go into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache, data/factory reset and format system in mounts and storage
- Flash the nightly and straight after that gapps
- Fix permissions and then Reboot.
You can generally backup and restore any apps you installed via Titanium. No sytsem apps though, they are known to have issues.
Then use "sms backup+" to safely store your Sms and call log on Gmail.
Make sure you ticked Sync settings for Contacs in your Google account and also ticked to backup your phone data to Google (that will backup your wifi passwords too)
Use an app to backup efs or do it manually through Shell.
Now, download Cm9 + Gapps and optionally eg Siyahkernel, put them in an easily accessible folder on your storage (i call it Ainstall since it will be in the top of the directory listing)
If you're on an older baseband (radio), get DXLF3 modem too.
Reboot in CWM and install cm9 - (siyah) - gapps in that order.
Without leaving recovery, factory-reset your phone. Reboot and enjoy.
Restore your data with the same apps you used for backup (obviously). Again, do not attempt to restore system apps.

Hi!
I was trying to find such information but with no luck.
What is my goal? The most painless migration from Omni to CM11 (or revert).
I'm wondering is it possible to preserve apps and their settings but change the whole ROM or is there any other way to move apps and their settings from one ROM to another (I know about Ti backup and other apps like this but anyone tested this solution?) I don't care much about ROM settings but apps are important for me.
This I9100 is my only phone so I can't stuck with "blank" phone.
Thanks in advance!
Answer: Yes and No
You can use Ti backup, then format sys&data, install CM, then Ti restore.
I've done this before when going from ClearRom to Omni.
HOWEVER, this is still quite annoying since some settings and data may likely not be properly backup/restored.
Question:
How can we install CM11 over on top of Omni, without the extra (and error-prone) steps of backup and restore data?
I was just about to ask the same question, then xda found your post for me.
I have a Note 2 ATT, and recent updates of the Omni became power hungry and eats up battery faster than ever before, plus, each time the Omni updates, I lose Gapp and SU. Often it gives me a hard time to get SU back.
So I want to switch to the newly published CM11.
I've spent the past couple hours doing this.
First I tried just format 'system' then install CM11, it boots, but gives me infinite loop on "cyongen account has stopped".
Then I formatted 'system' and 'data', CM11 boots without error. I restored 'data' from recovery, the error loop is back on.
(devik and cache have been deleted each time)
So... is there any way of doing this w/o needing Ti backup/restore?
Thanks a lot for your answer! I was afraid it's not possible
My only hope is that I don't need ROM settings but only apps so maybe it's possible with Ti.
Do you have pro version of Ti backup or is it possible to backup anything usefull with free version.
EDIT:
I'm using "update" script from SU setings to keep it installed over updates and I use PA gapps which also stay after every update

I'm also using the same configuration. But none of them work the way for me as you described.. each update would mess SU up.
As of Ti, I have the paid version, but I'm not sure if you need it to do the same..
