A few questions;
1. What happens when you try to restore the backup?
2.What ROM are you using now?
3.What ROM were you using when you made the backup?
4.Have you performed a complete wipe since making the backup?
After you answer these i might be able to help you.

1. First i found the directory and pressed backup. It din begin only stuck at 0/56 (apps)..
2. Im currently using omega rom
3. Had flashed fusion rom.
4. No wipes.Im a regular flasher and im good at making things work. I tried everything, changed kernel, made a super wipe and installed rom again..still no luck..This happens everytime i install a aosp,aokp rom

Sorry, I'm confused, you said you didn't make a wipe, but then you said you did. Please try to be clearer. Also, Ive never used either of those ROMs so it may be that their file systems are incompatible, see if the backup works on the Fusion ROM. If it does, then they probably are, if it doesn't then the backup may be corrupt.

Not sure you understand... if you do a CWM backup, that is basically taking a snapshot of your entire phone image. Firmware, apps and their data, contacts, the whole kit and kaboodle. From there, you can restore the backup if you bork your phone provided you can still get to CWM recovery.
Your Google account will track what apps you have installed officially through the Play Store (formerly known as the Android Market), and it might even re-install some or all of them for you (depending on the version of market/play store you have after your full wipe), but it won't retain your app data. So if you do this, you'll lose all your Angry Birds high scores, in other words. That may or may not be a big deal to you.
As 078gregory said, you can use TB (Titanium Backup) to back up and restore app data.
just want to add.. CWM backup does not backup kernel or modem... it does backup the gps patch and other patches tho...
Yes. It does backup kernel. I restored my GM/Siyah CWM backup on Sunday after trying CM9 for a few days and my kernel was most definitely restored. You are correct about the modem tho.

Everything backed up by the Nandroid back up, apps, settings, layout, system files ect...
I'm Running Nandroid backup right now and realizing what I am asking is probably not doable seeing the two ROMs will have different launchers and such..
I take it that if I flash task's AOKP and decide to go back to SHOstock THEN I can use the backup I'm running now to restore... Correct??
you do know how a nandroid works right?
Not exactly, I always used TiPro to restore apps&data but never used Nandroid for a restore.. That's why I'm asking, just not quite sure what its limits are..

if you restore a complete nandroid, you are restoring the COMPLETE rom....wiping out the new rom.
you should never restore /system anything when going from one rom to another.
a nandroid is a complete system image. like a snapshot of your entire phone

Hi,
I installed CM 7.2.0-RC3
I would like to play around with some other ROMs
My questions are:
1) Any recommendations for some good ROMs? Specially ICS ROMs
2) Should I follow the exact same process as I did with CM (I used ROM Manager and ticked all the boxes - clear dalvik, clear something else etc)
3) I noticed that nandroid does not generate a single zip like flashing ROMs. How do I restore and why would I used this option if I can just re-flash ROM?
Thanks!!!

1. Joker's ICS ROM, Neutrino CM7 ROM, and NottachTrix4G GB ROM
2. Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMS, use a recovery ROM racers ect..
3. For nandroid, I personal do this. I do a backup of a ROM. And when I want to flash the ROM I flash the ROM itself, no Gapps or anything and then I restore the ROM with the nandroid backup.
Hope I answered your questions alright.

I would agree with #1 and #2.
For #3 I would recommend a nandroid backup, then verify the backup before you reboot to make sure it is good. No need IMO to flash the original ROM when restoring from a nandroid. Much more important to do a full wipe first, then just flash your nandroid backup.

ROM Manager is fine as long as you have good experience with your recovery image. It exists for a reason.

Well, if ROM manager does the job I think I will use it. I'm assuming it's simply building a script that does everything that's needed.
I really don't have any experience with recovery
As for backups, I think I will simply use Titanium for my Apps and Data. Everything else I need is backed up on Google so I should be fine
Thanks everyone!!!
OK, download gapps from:
http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cm9-gapps/
and aokp from http://d-h.st/e7A
Are these ok?
Can I simply go ahead and install through ROM Manager?
Gapps from here

Actually I think that AOKP zip comes with gapps as an option in it.
And it doesn't matter if you use ROM manager or not.

After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.
You can use any rom you want. It will come with its own kernel and overwrite the one you have

So this from the the first thread isn't true?
"You must use an ICS kernel, and it must work with Samsung firmware, and be the no-mic-swap version. If you install a Gingerbread kernel the phone will not boot."
Sorry, it's all a bit confusing to me.

Just do as Pirate says and you will be fine. Dont worry about the kernel because the rom you want will have the appropriate kernel packaged in

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

The next step is to do a FULL BACKUP. I did a backup in CWM Recovery. Does that work?
When I move the ROM to my phone, do I take the whole zip file? Is there any particular file(zImage?) I point to when flashing through CWM or is it the whole zip file?

Good choice for a first ROM. When you get bored with that Shostock3 is really nice but wait until 1.5 comes out. It has some fixes that will polish it up nicely.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Yes on the full wipe before flashing the new ROM.
What else are u trying to retain besides apps and their data? If that's all TiBu is fine

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh

You will lose all your apps and personal settings because you need to do a full wipe. You have to back up your apps with titanium backup and restore them after you install shostock3.

the others have covered the method. just wanted to add that if you restore from Titanium Backup and have issues with the ROM, the restored apps may be why. If you like what it has to offer, try a full wipe and reinstall apps from scratch before giving up.
