I rooted my X10 mini and installed Titanium backup. I replaced stock messaging and browser apps with new ones. Later there was a problem reading SD card witch titanium puts the backup on it. Now there's no way to restore the original stock apps such as the messaging and browser. Now my phone cannot open any SMS message or visit the web!! With problem accessing SD I can' download any alternative app! I guess I'd like to go back to the original light weight apps. Where can I find them?

All data on the phone is, SD card is fine, so pics and videos should be fine.
I've used Titanium for the apps, which in most cases also restores the settings too.
I use google sync, so Contacts are synced as soon as I add my google account to the phone (not sure how the other sync methods work for contact)
Finally, for SMSs I used the SE backup and restore app, and just chose SMS. there is an option for apps on there too, but I haven't used it.
Then, once 2.1 is installed, root, install busybox then use titanium to restore apps (don't restore system settings, as that caused me an issue with WiFi, app setting are fine though), then you will have all of your apps back, then open SE's backup and restore and choose to restore the backup you made earlier for texts
Contacts were auto for me, and photos and other SD contents will need no restoring at all, just view!
Copy and paste for my media files and SD card, and I used gmail and MyPhoneExplorer for my contacts. Titanium should do your apps and settings for them, but being a whole OS I just started from scratch with them.
hello,
i just flashed android to my HTC HD2 into the NAND.
How can i get my Data from the data.img that was used before with android from SD card ?
i m sure that u can help me ;D
greets
let me know!!! if you find out
which data all contacts are in google acount so in your fresh installed android just login to gmail and all will be back ,if you used dhd build than you`l get and apps instaled too with htc hub also
If you are looking to get your applications, use titanium and/or dropbox they are your friends.
For text messages you can use an app called "sms Backup and restore". Text messages are exported in XML format and can easily be imported after flashing the ROM.
As darkony said, contacts are automatically restored through the Google account. Standard marketplace apps should be reinstalled automatically as well upon opening the marketplace for the first time. Otherwise, use titanium backup as mentioned.
I don't know if call logs are automatically restored by android, but there's also an app called something like "call log backup and restore ".
Have fun flashing
Alternatively, you could use a nand rom that supports a data.img on sd card that resembles your former build. You might get it running without bugs, but that can't be guaranteed.

i deleted the 2.2 web via titanium backup because i didn't want it and only want to use skyfire... however, now everytime i try to access my bookmarks in skyfire, it forces close. for some reason, i can see the deleted 2.2 web in TB, but can't restore it... any ideas? i was reading elsewhere (on diff forum) that i need to put the original files into TB and restore... i also have root explorer if i need that. thanks! trying to do this without reflashing bionix =)
program in the dev section called bloater will add all the stock apps you want back on to your phone.
I would very much like to use the email client that comes with the stock FW, as the one that comes with Cyanogen does not show HTML.
How can i do this? I already backed all apps using Titaniuma backup, but when i choose restore missing apps and choose the email client, nothing happens?
What am i doing wrong? Do i need to do something more?
EDIT: When i click on the email app i backed up in Titanium it says only data is backed up and no app..... how come?
Hady
Bump - any replies folks? I specifically had this same doubt - wanted to preserve the email application when I move (up) to CM7
You can try to use "system remover" to restore the applications that have been backuped before. Just put the *.apk in /sdcard/SystemAppBackup.
I also suggest you to read this wiki:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones
It's a very good guide to remove or install applications (both system or user applications).
what about the dialer in stock?
Hi,
I have a question which might seem too stupid or trivial.
I am currently running CM 7.1.0 ROM on my Legend. I would like to flash ogo2's Gingerbread ROM while restoring all apps and messages/contacts.
Can somebody help me with the procedure of backing up apps and messages, then flashing the new ROM, then restoring all apps/messages
I have no idea for messages since it doesn't care for me.
If you are not going to format/clean your SD card Titanium backup can be helpful for saving applications with data.
The only app you will need to install is Titanium and it restore applications+appsdata for you after flashing.
Make a backup/restore test drive before proceed with flashing.
For keeping your messages there's some apps in market that might help you, haven't tried them though.

Hi, when i did my root and flashed brand new rom, I used 3 things, I used visionary+ temp root then used Titanium Back for all my apps, I used Go SMS Pro to backup all my sms/mms, and for contacts, I used the built in export contacts to .vcf file the good thing about this is if your contacts are stored on phone (not sim) and you have more than one contact for each name + contact pictures associated they fully restore (so long as you leave the pictures alone on SDcard. If you use only sim for contacts, I have found that you can have problems, only storing the default cantact number, no picture association after backup and restore (lost a whole heap of contacts that way).
How ever, since gaining a lot more knowledge, apparantly you can actually use Titanium to backup your contacts and sms/mms as well as your apps using the "backup system data" from the batch mode, although I haven't tried this yet, I cannot confirm that it works.
for contacts you can export them to sd card, as for the sms and other apps use Titanium Backup
