Does anybody know what is Ieamingclient that always run at forground on x10 I have process manager task killer no matter how many times I kill it . It comes back .is it something important? If not so I could uninstall it with titanium backup. And what takes more memory foreground or background?
Try freezing it with titanium I usually do that before deleting, just to make sure it doesn't get wonky after deleting it. But I get that to with learning client as well never froze it I assumed it was important in some easy since it kept coming back assurer killing it.

Okay, after much reading and studying I am preparing to get ready to root.
Wondering if I need to back up at all before unlocking. I manually copied over my pics and vids and have exported my contacts.
If a nandroid is felt to be necessary for safety purposes before unlocking then you can disregard the rest of my post, I will temp root and use Titanium (although I am still curious about how the apps install on Android OS). If it's not really necessary then I have more questions:
As far as apps go...
If I don't care about user settings/data of apps does it matter if I back them up or not? I can always redownload from Market right? Or will flashing a ROM break the market ties? I have apps from Market and from Amazon.
When apps install do they put files in different folders like on Windows or do they stay "whole" as programs used to do on older Macs? Just wondering how the back up/restore will work. I have grabbed a lot of apps to try out and there's many that I will not install again once I get a clean phone. So is there something I can use to make a back up without temp rooting? I know I won't be able to do a nandroid, does that matter?
Or is it better and safer to temp root with CleanTool, back up with Titanium and then restore the apps I want after I unlock and root and flash a ROM and kernel? Doing it this way will save all my user data, correct?
Also, I'm not worried about phone settings like what icons I have on my home page etc... I haven't gotten it exactly how I want it yet anyway. Still deciding how I want to set it all up so that it works best for me.
Thanks for any help.
If you want to make a back up of your apps you will have to temp root. Ti backup or Mr backup are good for doing it just make sure you change where they save to the sd2. They start out saving to the sd card which in this phone is the internal which gets wiped.

I went through the same thought process you're going through before I rooted (this past weekend). What I ended up doing was exporting my contacts directly from "People". I then just went directly to unlock and perm root. I was expecting to be able to restore my apps and contacts from the market, but to my surprise, was not able to do so. I imported my contacts back, and then proceeded to re-setup my phone by re-downloading apps from the market. Not really THAT painful, and going forward, I have Nandroid and Titanium backups.
You're aware you can do a native screen capture of your present phone screens by pressing power, then home, aren't you?
I temp rooted and used titanium backup. I like to be able to restore data on 3rd party apps only. I use mybackup pro for sms (I only keep 200 per contact, but nice not to lose them), then use google for contacts, calender, etc.
Although you can always backup your apps and data using these programs, anytime you flash a new ROM, it's best to install all of the apps fresh and not restore data from a different ROM (such as the stock ROM). Since I know you want to use Ineffabilis, you might want to use Titanium backup or something to just backup the apps, not the data on those apps. Makes things much better.
EDIT: Also, you can't do a Nand backup without a recovery installed, which requires the phone to be unlocked and perm rooted. You can always backup your apps and data with temp root, but a true Nandroid backup is something that you can't do until you have perm root.

Does anyone happen to know if Words with Friends stores data on my phone or if it's stored on their server since it's between two different people or how I can tell? I'm kicking my bro's ass in a game right now so I DEF don't want to lose that. One day he WILL RESPECT his little sis!

Market knows you've bought apps though so it's no problem to re-download paid apps, right? I have this thing about doing everything fresh on computers so I might just do the same on this baby.
Also, I'm not concerned about my phone screens, I haven't set them up enough to care.

Hahaa, too funny. I'm pretty sure that's all over the network. I reinstalled the app after flashing Ineffabilis and just had to sign back in to get all my games back. Hence the fact that you can continue games on Facebook and such.

paid apps show up on your acct but free ones don't and you have to search for them. If you are looking for just an app backup, app monster pro works well for this and can do apk backup for most apps (some are protected). Just set it up for old style back up, doesn't require root.

I've never had any problems restoring data on 3rd party apps. I never restore system apps/data.

Ah, touche That's right. I forgot it was just system apps that you want to stay away from regarding data. I just always do a clean install on all apps when I install a new ROM anyway.
I'm new to the Android thing and even more new to the switching ROM's on a daily basis based on my mood when I wake up. Here's my question. When updating a ROM and wiping the device what do you use/do to ensure you don't have to spend a day to recover your device back to where it was. App icon locations, widgets configurations, etc...
Hi. Im pretty new to Android as well so I can tell you what I do. Now this doesnt mean its correct. I usually make a backup with Titanium Back up. Also before I do anything major I also run a backup with CWM (think thats what its called). This way I can always go back to the previous state.
Titanium Backup for restoring apps
Call Logs Backup and Restore for, well... that one should be self explanatory
Same for SMS Backup and Restore
Restoring system settings and launcher layout is a ***** if you use the stock launcher - a third-party launcher such as LauncherPro can have its settings backed up with TiBu and restored. Some even have their own backup/restore functions.

Thanks. I was using Go Launcher but it was flaking out regularly. Locker wasn't working, kept prompting when going to the home screen asking for if I wanted to use Go Launcher etc. Finally got rid of it because things were wonky with it. I guess I"m just stuck doing the whole reinstalling all apps and rebuilding my 'ui' whenever I do wipe.
The only thing that I have yet to find a backup/restore for is MMS.
Yes there is ways to actually save the pictures and have them in Gmail but no way of restoring it back into the conversation.
I am a subscriber to Slacker radio, which gives me the ability to cache stations on my phone so I can play them when not on wifi and not incur data use. However, when I update a rom, or change a rom, something changes and slacker thinks I am registering a new phone. They only allow this once in 30 days and I lose my cache ability. Is there a ID number that gets changed with rom change that I can alter (keep the same) so a subscription service doesn't think its a new phone??
Thanks,
Glenn
I have titanium backup and the pro key, and when I flash a new rom I have a zip to flash titanium as well. First time running it notify you that the android id has changed and asks you if you want to restore your old one. I do this every time, and I've never had to re-authorize any of my apps.
Thanks,
Once I get slacker to reset my account I will use that method. I have seen that screen before, but I don't see it everytime I restore from backup using Ti. I wonder if id changes each time rom update or change??
Yes, actually. Each time you wipe and reflash, your android ID changes. I have no idea how to view it, what it's actually called, or how to back it up and change it manually, but titanium backup pro will backup this ID and restore it upon reinstall after a wipe (I have the pro license, not sure if the basic license does this). For more info, see this giude.
I subscribe to Spotify (totally worth it) and experienced the same issue. Upon wipe, flash, and reboot, I'd have to re-download all my music. Once I restored my Android ID and restore my missing apps with data upon reflash (which I do often, because I get bored), everything is still there, just like I left it.
For the record, Titanium backup pro is the most expensive app I've purchased and worth every penny. If you don't own it, try the free version and see if it takes care of your issue. I'm fairly certain the Android ID is your problem.
Furthermore, if you flash a lot, use the Titanium backup schedule function to backup and delete apps so you're not doing massive, hour long operations before you want to flash the new hotness you just downloaded.
I also have the pro license and might have to check out spotify. I have all my playlists on slacker though lol and that would be a lot of work. I will check out schedule on ti as I usually just do the hour backup prior to flashing or nandroid backups lol.
Thanks for all the info!!
I have a few apps that are supposed to do things in the background (Google Photos uploading, Titanium Backup running scheduled jobs) and they simply don't run.
I have set their battery optimisations correctly and have them able to run in the background, but no luck.
This was also happening before I rooted the phone (not with TB though obviously!)
Any ideas, or is this an EMUI bug?
-EDIT- Scheduling a task in Tasker works fine. Tasker is using identical battery opt settings to TB.
