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).

Wipe Data/Factory reset will not delete the backup u made since as its stored in ur internal sdcard ma8

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 all.
I was uninstalling unnecessary applications from my phone yesterday using root file delete and it seems I deleted something wrong so now my TwLauncher keeps crashing.
I downloaded another Launcher (which is not a very nice interface) temporarly because I was told that clearing cache from TwLauncher in settings would fix the problem but it did not. TwLauncher still crashing.
I re-installed TwLauncher from a file I found in another posts again it crashed, and tried installing TwLauncher 4.5, after istallation it also keeps crashing!!!
Please help I need TwLauncher to be good again and not crash coz other Launchers suck.
Factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the rom you're currently running.

You should make backup before you start deleting apps. Never would you get into this situation.

Best post I've seen here this week. Wise words indeed. These phones are essentially mini PC's nowadays, fail to backup regularly at your peril (people who don't backup regularly always seem to be the people who really need them/could have done with one).
Is there any way of doing that without installing a ROM again or doing factory reset???
Even when I install a new TwLauncher 4.5 it still crashes..
any tips?

u cannot install System apps like other apps ma8, u mess with them and they start giving u only trouble nothing else
hence do flash the rom once again to get back ur TW launcher wrk'ng properly, and after that do make a backup
ok i've gone to androidfirmwares.net
But it has Firmwares and not ROMS,
or Firmware means ROM???
Sorry but i'm a newbie so please help, thanks.

Do you lose your files and messages if you Flash a new ROM?
You lose your apps and messages call logs...

*Sigh* I think you're missing a trick here, you may lose your files/messages but the point is, if you also make a BACKUP of those, it doesn't matter if you do or don't.

for messages u can use 'SMS backup pro' app, and for apps u can use 'Mybackup' or 'Titanium backup' apps (which require root permission though)

1. U can flash complete ROM using Odin and wipe data & dalvik from cwm. (u will loose messages & applications, but it'll work fine after that)
2. Never Uninstall/Install anything unless u are very sure about that. Uninstalling required apps can lead to this.

Hi! Long History, Yesterday I tried "Android Tweaker" app from one guy here on XDA.. BIG MISTAKE.. I select the tweaks i want and apply them all! well, first, I lost root access.. (lucky me i was on release4, so i can root again without problem) second, the tablet now is so unstable, sometimes is really fast.. and other times, (most of the time) is just SO SLOW! even my xperia 2010 is faster! so, i decided to root again and try to fix everything.. i fixed some things but still i have so much lag!, so i decided to install again my firmware.. I boot on the recovery and i tried to install my firmware (release4) again.. no luck .. the recovery says that i can't install the same version.. so my last resort.. Factory reset, i do it from recovery.. now on the first boot I have to type my name, my gmail account etc, so I can see that the factory reset works, .. but when I see my homescreen.. i realized that the tweaks ARE STILL THERE! :crying:
So, how do I perform a FULL WIPE?
Thanks!
btw.. DO NOT INSTALL "ANDROID TWEAKER" here is the forum thread for this app.. i you want to see it..

1. Root again using AiO
2. Use AiO to install 'rescue backdoor', Tweaks & Mods Submenu
3. Reinstall R4
4. Re-root
5. Don't f*** with this tablet, they are very easy to mess up and hard to recover from...... In saying that most of the time you will be safe when the incremental is lowered (rescue backdoor)
6. Enjoy your "NEW" Tablet
Thank you both! I'll try right now! :good:
@<robin> really? thought that it erased too... because on the recovery says that "System and App will be erased" but thanks for the info!
@stifilz You're right! All sony phones that I used were incredibly "open".. and you could do whatever you wanted .. If you had a problem, with a simple wipe, everything work like new!.. Is sad that this tablet is so limited.. :crying:

sure!
a wipe only clear partition data,cache,log,staging,
(system app and user app data save in data)
do nothing to system0 and system1,(all system app and config file no change),
eg your root will keep after wipe

hi guys.. i have a big issue with my razr when i try to use cyanogenmod ( the official one obviously)
the problem is quite simple..i use safestrap to install the custom rom in rom slot1, i flash the rom and gapps, i wipe cache/dalvik cache ( so i do everything that should be done) but when i try to use google now (in particular the voice search) google search close down and it doesn't worked...this happened even when i was on official 4.0.4 and even now that i'm on 4.1.2....i have noticed that in the stock rom if i get "motorola service" unistalled, google voice doesn't work anymore... ( and even in this case with the stock rom i'm the only one who has this problem)
but with cyanogenmod 10.1 ,which is a modified rom installed in a different partition i really can't understand why it doesn't work to me!! ( i've already asked in other italian's forums if someone else had the same problem, but i'm still the only one..)
how can i solve it?
p.s. sorry for my imperfect english :crying:
ok guys, problem solved by myself updating the app/ reinstalling it
i have another question...is there any possibility to have only cyanogenmod on the device instead of dual boot with safestrap? or is it impossible? :silly: (stupid locked bootloader :crying: )

done it this afternoon :good: at the first restart i have had to fight a lot with my phone to boot properly, but with rc2 it works very fine! and i also have more free space in rom partition :good: and obviously in data partition because of less bloatware..
i have another small question about bmm, maybe you can help me...before doing what i have just said , i installed cyanogenmod in system 2, then i have format the partition ,wiped everything and so on...i want to ask if after this format all the space in system 2 has been released
(sorry for my mechanical and uncorrect way of writing..when there are too many verbs my mind explodes :silly: )
edit : to work it without any problems, is important to wait before restart and to select "install bmm to main menu" in advanced settings

u better not mess around with the processes happening in bmm ( install bmm to main nemu) accept it if it asks
actually deleting system 2 does not release any space. that space was withheld by motorola for the webtop partition on EVERY phone
now that we dont use that space , it is used as a place to test roms on our phones AKA system 2
on the other hand safestrap does not use this and utilizes the internal sd partition to install roms

Hey guys!
Have been running BMM a while now without any issues, and my phone has been running great on 4.1.2. Yesterday I installed AOKP 4.2.2, and the ROM itself works perfectly fine, but if I reboot my phone it always goes to System1. My AOKP is on System2.
This isnt that big of an issue, as I'll just use BMM to reboot to system2 (And lets be honest, how often do we actually turn our phones off..?) But nevertheless I'd like to have it boot straight to System2. I'm quite familiar with BMM, but can't seem to find a setting for this. I only find the reboot option to reboot to System2 out of recovery, and to switch to System2. What I want is to set which system it automatically boots to.
Can anyone give me a pointer to how I'd do this?
Thanks ahead of time to this great community!
I myself am having problems with BMM too. It is not as easy as SS3. Well at least for me I cannot delete the system 2 which I opened for another rom . Do you know how can I do that?
Hm, I don't know how you can delete it, or even if you can. What would be the purpose of deleting it? It wont be in the way or anything afaik.
Just Wanted to know if there is a way to do it. I searched it a lot. And the last time I deleted my internal storage :/ a good cleaning isn't it

In the app that you install in the system (Boot Menu Manager) you can choose the default system to boot. It's on the first page of the manager.
Do'h! It never occured to me to check in the app, just in the recovery.. Thanks a lot, that solved my problem!

when u reboot your phone press the android icon on the bmm splashscreen and go into settings. in there choose the system u want to delete and

you cannot delete system 2 since this is webtop partition and is made by motorola.
this was needed by GB. from ICS and above this feature is into the first system itself
therefore, activate it and flash a rom into it. SS cannot do that, it takes space from internal memory only
Going off topic - what's the size of your bmm nandroid (DUP) backup? I got somewhere near 680KB for a full backup!
