I'm running CM10.2 currently but the question applies to CM10.1 and CM11 also.Is there a way to save the system settings like display, sound, language etc. so when you make a factory reset or reflash you won't have to set the rom again?

You can't restore data on CM settings after you have upgrade/downgrade your rom....a lot of FC will happen if you do that....CM10.1, CM10.2 and CM11 have different settings....just set it up again...its not like you needed 1-2 hour to set it up...just a couple of minutes will do...

but he wrote about reflash same rom not about update rom, so if he want to reflash same rom he can make backup with TB

That's what i meant, not keeping settings between different versions.So if i got it right, make a backup of Settings.apk and restore only data?

If that is the case then backup Settings Storage/SettingsProvider.apk not Settings.apk cause every setup you make is kept in SettingsProvider.apk not Settings.apk....

Hello all,
I can't find in the forum a way of setting back the CPU speed to one that does not boot the phone. Is there a way of booting like in single user or safe mode to change the parameter back to 768Mhz ? I am avoiding to reflash the phone.
thanks

if you can access to recovery and were using an app to overclock you can mount /system and delete the app
if not you should have kept a backup to safely factory reset
which rom are you using?

Thanks! I am using MiniCM7-2.1.4 so it's part of the system settings. I tried now to re-flash without wiping off the directories and did not work. I could restore my last backup but it was done before upgrading the ROM so I am not sure it's usable.

the backup was a miniCM7-2.1.X version?
if yes, restore the backup and immediately flash the rom
(if not, you should have read that the first thing after upgrading is to perform a backup [one before and one after] to rollback safely )

Yes! That is exactly what I did.. restored a recent backup 'before flashing from CM7.1' and flashed the MiniCM7-2.4.1 right away and seems to be all cool for now.
Thanks for the tips

from which version was the backup?
if you have any performance problem you'll need at least format sd and then reflash (after copying your files and not .android_secure and so on)

Hi,
Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy S III with the Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 and I want to upgrade to version 10.0.0 which is the current version. But I dont want to wipe my data to upgrade.
The reason for this is because even though i've backed up everything using titanium backup, I have a layout which I like and lots of other settings.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Yes you can but if you hit problems you must wipe .
If you are currently running an ICS custom rom and the update is to a JB cumstom rom by the same maker then yes you still need to do a wipe.
But if you did a nandroid backup first before updating you could always try flashing the update without wiping but it could cause problems.
The devs always say to do a full wipe so that there are no problems
Hope this helped

Dont agree other wise we all have wiped phones when JB updates .
>>>>The devs always say to do a full wipe so that there are no problems
Usually they don't say full wipe but wipe cache and wipe dalvik .
Some custom roms will wipe above anyway .
My way on a new rom is to format cache and system in recovery only .
Means i just install on top of my data a new system .
But yes i have Nandroid and TB backup always and yes i am prepared if need be to go back to a stock rom after wiping the lot .
Yes i do flash a lot of roms and no i don't have many problems .

So you say that if I do a backup of all apps in TitaniumBackup and restore it after wipe it'll be ALL the same?
Like I never wiped?
Anyone?

CMIIW, in theory, yes. Although in my experience some apps/games data failed to load. But in most cases it gets the job done after flashing to a new rom, which needed you to wipe everything.
Yes applications go, but the data sometimes ne.Lépe every transition from ICS need to JB, download data again.
And can I restore data only from TitaniumBackup?

Regarding the layout, if you have nova launcher you can export your settings and restore after a flash of a new rom..

Don't have Nova Launcher- didn't like it.
I guess I'll just wipe cache then flash the new version ROM and hope for the best (after backups of course).

You can backup just the apps or apps+data. Therefore you too can restore your data only (if you already have that particular apps installed). Try it mate, titanium backup rules :good:

A few days ago i put on Siyah neweset 5.0.1 kernel on my S2 and overclocked but my performance hasn't increased much so i'm gonna put Ressurection Remix ROM now but the first step on the guide says to format my phone and i hate loseing my things, is there anyway to keep my stuff on the new ROM D: ? I'm not sure what to do QQ i don't wanna screw this up, also i'm gonna make a few backups, cuz 1 isn't enough.
Over clocking doesn't increase performance per se.
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your current apps. Use SMS backup+ for your texts and call lists.
Images, vids, music etc are unaffected by formatting via CWM.

If you want to switch to another ROM, I guess it's best to backup all your apps via Titanium Backup. As far as I remember, the list displays white apps, red ones and green ones. The red ones are system apps and you should backup them since they differ from ROM to ROM. The white ones are apps which you have installed on your phone (via Google Play...). The green entries are things like "Messages" "Phone call history" and stuff like that.. I guess you can backup them too.
You won't loose your contacts as long as they are stored on your googlemail-account. So no need to safe them.
Then just backup your current ROM via ClockworkMod (I guess one backup is enough :b - If you want to be 100% sure try to backup and right after it finished try to restore the backup. If it works (in 99,9% of all cases) you can just flash your new ROM - if it didn't work try to backup+restore again. As soon as you've got a working backup (I guess the first backup will be OK), flash the new ROM and restore the needed apps via Titanium Backup again. (Just download Titanium Backup right after flashing RR and you will be able to restore every single app again).
More and more ROM devs advise not to restore apps via Titanium Backup, but it always worked fine for me
Hope I helped you,

You dont need to format everything to install a Custom Rom. Just wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache(under advanced).

Don't be ridiculous.
What about something simple like "How to backup data before installing new rom?"
In any case you should have searched google or XDA first as there is plenty of topics on how to flash roms without losing data or how to backup all your apps/appdata etc.

I can't find the button to change tittle, it must be hidden under 3 layers of bedrock.
Anyway, i've been useing this rom since yesterday, it's awesome .. mostly
Some minor disadvantages, some things like Clock crash, won't update some things but that's normal.
My stock benchmark was 6800, now 6200 D:
Probably becouse the rom uses more RAM than stock.. Overall 8.7/10 <3
I'll keep testin.
EDIT: OH YEA! what were those "modems" it asked me when i was installing it?

Hi,
I just updated my ROM to the Slim Bean ROM for JB on my S3 (4.1.2) but I am having quite a few issues. Can anyone guide me to a solution to my problem?
1. My system from time to time keeps stalling for about 15 seconds. This normally happens when im browsing the net, but also happens when I'm using other apps at times.
2. NFC doesn't get enabled. I see the option to enable NFC but when I tick the enable box it fades out and I am not able to select the option again. More importantly it does not allow me to use NFC. I am trying to write profiles on on a few NFC tags but it says that NFC is not enabled and it does not write or read any of the tags.
3. Many of the Samsung apps are not showing. S Memo and S calendar being the notable apps I am missing. I tried installing apks. It installs them but the app never appears in my app list.
I think so far these are the only ones that I am facing. Any solutions?
Regards,
Fahad.
a) what was your installation procedure?
b) you won't get Samsung apps on Slim, it is an aosp Rom.....Samsung apps need the touchwiz framework.

Hello,
I updated my tablet to CM 10.1 Nightly from CM 10 through the Cyanogenmod Updater. After playing around with 10.1 for a little, I decided it was too buggy for me, so I went back to the updater and downloaded the CM 10 update again. Now, when it reboots, it wont get past the Cyanogenmod screen. What do I need to do to get back to CM 10?
Thank you

Full Wipe, you shouldn't go back to previous without wiping or you "bootloop". You need to Wipe Data/Cache; Cache; and Dalvik Cache and then reinstall CM10 and gapps.

It allows you to backup your data apps (system apps too but I do not recommend backing system apps cause it can cause A LOT of issues if data of the system app is restored). When you have the data apps backed up, you can restore the app with the data associated (e.g. game saves).

You can restore all your backed up data apps in batch. You could also backup your launcher and restore Data Only. It will place your apps on teh screens again but not widgets.
