My N1 is rooted & use Cyan's ROM.
I was enable backup my setting to google server before and after root.
When I do factory reset (wipe data) and sign in with google account. No setting does not restore from google after I sign in by wifi during phone setup.
Is anything wrong with my setup?
How to make this work?
Thanks.
After few trial & error.
Restore work with stock ROM but not Cyan's ROM.
Is this expect behavior?

Yes, that's how it works. When you flash to a new ROM, it won't resync settings from a different ROM.

All,
I tried installing the new froyo, and wanted to start completely over. no settings, no apps, nothing. and rethink from the ground up what and why I want it....
The problem is I have used the google backup feature, and if I reinstall a rom, it will download everthing from my google backup account.
the question thus is, how do I delete all the info from the backup account, and ensure that the nexus does not get installed with anything after flashing the rom?
thanks in advance
Before installing, go to privacy settings and uncheck backup.
When you uncheck this, it should delete backups as well as disable them (that's what the popup says, anyway).
I've never tried this myself though.
as a charm, thanks
I cant get this to work. I did uncheck and it said it will erase but everytime I flash a Froyo custom rom, it downloads all my setting and backup again. Flash a non froyo rom works.
Anyone can help?
Hello,
am I able to install a ROM without make a factory reset on my Galaxy S? I have around 50 apps and I don't want to install them again after I have flashed a ROM.

Unless you are already on the same firmware basis as the ROM you intend to install, most of your applications will not work after the upgrade.
Use titanium backup (from the market) to backup your apps and restore them after upgrading

I allready used Titanium Backup but you still have to apply everything (must click install on start of installation of an app).
I have downgraded from JPY to JPX with Odin and forgot to click re-partition but everything still works and I had no force closes.
Could it work if I just apply a JPY ROM without WIPE?
PS: I'm on JPX now.

Some ROMs are compatible for apps but there is no guarantee that it works both ways and that in fact all your apps still work. You can try. the worst thing that can happen is that you will have to factory reset/wipe dalvik cache when you find incompatibilities.

you dont have to do it that way.
you can use batch-mode for titanium which automates your desired processes
Yeah I've did it like that but there is still this "you want to install..." dialog where you have to click "OK"

PS: I installed now the no wipe version of Darky's Rom v7.8. Everything works. Only I can't change the lockscreen in settings.
I've researched several forums for help with my GPS lock but I would like a little guidance from someone more experienced before I proceed with a fix. I'm comfortable flashing and I'm starting from the following configuration:
Starting Point:
1. Rooted running CM-10.2-20131016-Nightly, Baseband 1.00.20.0913_3, Kernel 3.410-CM-g5afe42c [email protected] #1
2. Performed a Nandroid backup with CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6
My questions are as follows:
1. Do I need to S-Off to fix this issue, and if so, what's the most efficient way of doing this starting from my CM nightly build and CWM version?
2. I have GPS status from the Android Market on there already and I've cleared GPS data. Do I need to reflash stock ROM to download the new agps data or can I do it from CM?
3. If I have to reflash stock to perform this GPS trick, will my backup restore everything back to the way it is, including installed applications and settings, or do I have to restore all my preferences, accounts, etc.
I've been lucky thus far with ROM flashing and never needed to restore a backup so I'm unclear the level of effort after a stock to CM swap maneuver. Thanks in advance for the help.

if you restore a backup everything will be the same as it was when you backed it up, settings, data, etc. all the same
Is there anyone else out there with this same problem or a solution?

Make a backup of current cm in twrp....... everything but storage options...... flash sense based rom...... update prl/profile(since your already in sense) go into maps while on data connection(found that works better than using wi-fi) maps will get a gps lock.... reboot into twrp restore backup of cm and than i always fix permissions and wipe dalv and cache... reboot into cm and profit hope this helps, never had a problem with gps when doing this.
**edit** a backup in twrp will back everything in the os up......apps....texts....settings....everything

A few questions on your procedure:
1. Will any sense based ROM work or do I need to use an RUU with stock recovery?
2. Can I perform this procedure with S-On, which is my current state?
If this works successfully, I will write a small and detailed guide for other people to use. Thanks.

1) any sense based will work.
2) not sure if the one is the same way with s-on.... but if so you will have to extract the boot.img from the rom and flash that via adb in bootloader than flash the rom in twrp.
Suggestion...... Go s-off your phone makes life simpler and makes playing more fun and much more safe
I a installing ARHD...
So I am coming from 13.4 to 31.0... do I need to wipe the stuff in Aroma or can I go without wiping?
I advice you to full wipe all for a clean install and you won't have any issue.
However, backup your contacts, sms and other stuff you need before the full wipe.
p.s. Your sd won't be touched.

I'm with this guy^^
Definitely wipe it. And it's good to have things backed up anyway. Once you get used to making your backups you can do a full wipe and rom install really quickly, I do them daily when I'm testing or trying out new builds.
My contacts are in google (gmail) and sync when I sign in at the setup screen, I backup and restore sms/mms and I use titanium backup for my user apps, but google installs most of my apps when I sign in. I also copy my entire sdcard storage over to a folder on my computer about every month or so, just in case something happens. I just select the whole thing, drag and drop it into it's own folder on my PC's hard drive.
We all have different methods, just gotta use a method thats best for you to make restoring after an install easy.
On a sidenote: With a jump in versions like that will you be installing different firmware? I dunno that it's required but if you are then you will get a slightly different answer.

Isn't required, but is better upgrade also the firmware, because it's optimized for the new base
I can tell you that I tried a dirty upgrade (made a nandroid backup first thankfully) from 22.1 to 31, and it messed everything up. restored, backed up apps etc, did wipe through aroma, upgraded, havent had a problem.
couldnt get a firmware upgrade working (s off was giving me the dreaded 1 error, which apparently doesnt have a fix), but its working fine without.
I have a Tmobile phone, but I have a rooted kernel, is there a way I could just flash a stock kernel through recovery and be done with root but keep from wiping all my data? Also links to such kernels would be appreciated, cause I'm not sure which to use.
You have to have a custom recovery installed via ODIN
Download stock firmware (there are several places around here to find it, and if you can't you can get it at Sammobile.com)
Boot into custom recovery and wipe all partitions EXCEPT INTERNAL STORAGE
Boot into download mode DIRECTLY FROM RECOVERY
flash stock firmware via ODIN
Profit
My apologies, but this will wipe my phone, I just want to replace the kernel with a non rooted version, not that firmware.

It will wipe your apps and settings (SMS conversations), but all of your personal data (Photos, movies, music) will still be there and the firmware includes the stock kernel.
As far as I know, this is the only way to revert to stock without losing all your data. I don't think you can simply flash a stock kernel, though I could be way off on that one. This method is how I reverted to stock.
Yeah I appreciate your input, but I have certain needs with the current data on my phone I can't part with yet. But hopefully somebody knows of a way, Thank you.

You can backup all of the data you need. Since all of your internal storage will be untouched, you won't need to back that up, but if you need your SMS and call logs and whatnot that stuff can all be backed up. What data do you need exactly?
I have certain game data, that I need lol.

Hi,
after you reverted back to stock, will you be able to receive and apply official OTAs?

Yes, however most, if not all of the ROM devs are going to update their ROMs to Marshmallow fairly quickly.
