i have unlocked bootloader, installed custom recovery by NEXUS prime, rooted my phone
Now i want to know if install the the custom mods of apps ,toggle panels etc >>
q1- how to uninstall these customs mods??
q2- when i do factory reset what will happen do these custom mods changed permanently in my stock ROM???
q3- before installing anything i have been suggested to make recovery of that, now how can i make recovery of toggle panel or icons??
1.: Generally, there is no uninstall method. Workaround: Make a nandroid backup prior to installing and restore that backup for uninstalling.
2.: A Factory reset just wipes your data, cache, dalvik cache partitions. The mods you mean are installed in system partition.
3.: Do a nandroid backup after you installed the mods as well, so you can restore it anytime you want to have it back.

A nandroid backup is one of the most important things with custom roms.
In CWM and TWRP there is a backup option that will make a backup of your whole phone. So if you restore it later it will be the exact same as when you made the backup.

in XRecovery, do a backup of your ROM, reinstall the original ROM, then do an advanced restore of just the data partition of the backup you just made. You should end up with the Stock Rom but all your settings will be the same as you had them when you did the backup. You'll also keep all your apps, messages and such this way.
Ok I installed the rom again, then gapps, hotfix and then I was clicking in the Advenced Restore and there are : System restore, Cache Restore etc. I got click only data, but what with these last, only data ? Or I must restore some other things ?.

Just "Restore data" and you'll be ok.
Ok, but what was saved in the ( system restore ) function. ?

You first did a backup in XRecovery. XRecovery would have did a complete backup of your \System, \Cach and \Data partitions. Since you only want to restore the \Data partition you go into Advanced Restore, select the backup you just did and then select Restore Data.
Yes, but when I not restore the system, then what that will do, will I have an error maybe ?
This might be a stupid question, but is there any way to get my backup restored? I just tried to restore a backup through CWM but it wiped my villainrom flash and went back to what I had before.

Is that not the whole point you backup XX try ZZZ decide you dont like it and restore the backup of XX which wipes ZZZ .
jje
yes I realized that eventually, I thought the point was to save your data like apps, themes, etc. so you can load them in the new rom. my apologies
You should not restore cache. When you boot up to a new rom, it will just redo the cache anyways.
As for Clockwork Recovery backup and restore, it does a full backup of the rom, including cache and user settings and apps. It restores back to the original rom as well.
I think you want to restore your settings and applications of your old rom into villainrom. I wouldn't recommend it as it settings for stock and custom might be different and can cause weird issues.
on that note, is there any way to access that information after flashing the new rom (to see what apps i'm missing and download them all again so I don't have to just redownload each one as I realize i need it?) without restoring the backup
nevermind I ended up just going back to my old rom, thanks for the replies guys
There is this wonderful app called Titanium Backup, it backup all your wonderful apps. This way, when you switch ROMs, you can just restore all those wonderful apps that you have been stockpiling.
If I backup only my data through Amon Ra, then flash a new Rom (after wiping everything) can I restore my data over the rom?
I've never tried anything like that (due to previously using CWR)
Thanks
not sure but the easy way i know how to do this is use titanium backup to back up everything and when u restore just restore the data

That sucks.
Thanks anyways
But don't restore data from one ROM to a different ROM. That can mess things up.
Hello,
This has been discussed in the past but a) it a long time time ago, so maybe newer tools are out and b) no definite conclusion was drawn, so please can I ask again, what's the easiest way to back up all apps, data and settings (idealy including home screen settings, ringtones, everything) to survive a superwipe (i.e. restore it after a super wipe and new ROM version installation)?
Thanks in advance.
Use CWM Recovery to do a complete backup. Very easy to backup and restore.

But restoring a CWM backup will overwrite the new system with the old one. What I want is backup all data, apps and settings but not the system data. And then restore them after I install the new ROM.
What will happen if I install Dn4 rom without wipe?
If you want have bricked S3 then flash without wipe ..
NO!
If you go flash a custom ROM every time you make full wipe (system,data,cache,dalvik cache) then flash ROM..
Before flashing you make nandroid backup (in TWRP)
And if you want you can backup APPS and DATA using Titanium Backup.
