Hrm, how can I say =P
I`m running the last cyanogenmod right now (3.9.5)
I never wiped my phone since I came from JF1.51 (yes, I had to wipe after starting using cyanogenmod
I want to make a wipe when getting to 3.9.6 and clean my ext3 partition as well...
I have a lot of apps configured and don`t want to loose then! Also, I don`t want to loose my configs of that apps (some are hard to configure =P)
How should I proceed?
obs. sorry for my bad english =P
You can try backing up your appdata using one of the various apps on the market (backup for root users, etc.). But theres no real guarantee that its going to work. I doubt the settings will even be saved. You're more than likely going to have to re-set up all of your apps to get them how you want. Thats just the downside of playing with custom roms.
I see =P
thanks man! I`ll try that!
What would be better? Backup for root or Mybackup pro?
I just want to backup my apps, marketdb and the config data of apps
I would stay away from Mybackup pro.... It corrupts the data so that you cannot use the sync features for contacts anymore in gmail. It also corrupts the text message data so that you cannot use SMSBackup. If neither of these don't bother you then Mybackup pro is worth the money except it bothers me now because I want to backup my text messages to my gmail with SMSbackup and I cannot because SMSbackup cannot read them due to whatever Mybackup Pro did to them while it was backing them up..

Anyone else experiencing this? My also use MyBackUp Pro, but not the other stuff mentioned above. Why would it need to alter the data to back the up?

When I used MyBackUp Free back in the day, I also had the same problem. It corrupted the contacts, and no longer synced till I reflashed.. =/

You got lucky then! Even after I reflashed, I had no luck restoring my contacts. What I had to end up doing was restoring from what little I had on the SIM card from way back in the day and update the rest by hand. It took a long time but was worth it because now I can use gmail sync without any worries. I will forever stay away from MyBackup Pro! Wish I could get my money back LOL
to back up ur stuff like game saves use this app http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.protocol.x.su.fbs
once installed make ur way to the root of your fone directory not the sd card root. once there find the folder called data click on it, then click on the folder also called data, then look for your app info [like a game save] you wanna back up, long press on it and select copy. then go back to your sd card and press menu then paste. please do not use this app for bad things, i will not say anymore.
i use it to back up my game saves from go go rescue and the bowling game.
So I installed Cognition 2.1, and everything seems pretty awesome. However, every time I open Google Talk, it closes. It doesn't prompt me to FC, but it pops up briefly and disappears. Task managers say that it's running, but I can't receive any messages nor can I open the program.
I tried restoring the app and the data in TiBa but no luck. Same results. Any thoughts?
This happened to me when I restored the accounts using Titanium Backup.
Someone else said to restore everything again with Titanium to fix it, but I don't know myself if that worked. I wound up re-flashing to stock and then when I restored with Titanium I just didn't restore the accounts.
When you say "Accounts," do you mean just the one called "Accounts" with the Titanium Backup logo next to it? Or are there other things you're referring to as well?

That's what I'm talking about, yeah. I don't know with 100% certainty if it'll work but it seems like that was the culprit because my Market wouldn't download anything either. When I did the same exact process again I manually added my gmail account before I did Titanium restores and I stayed away from the Accounts item in there.
Try restoring everything again, in Titanium, all system data. Someone here said it works to do that. Maybe it will? Only other option at this point is to reflash to stock and update it again. (as far as I know, I tried quite a few things and nothing else worked. I didn't try restoring everything again with Titanium though)
Yeah I have the exact same problem: market downloads won't work either. I wonder what causes that?
I just clicked restore all data on Titanium Backup (didn't feel like reinstalling every single app again), and it worked! Also restored all my homescreen data: didn't realize that got backed up.
Thanks for the help!

You restored system data back to an app... thats a big no no
I have a Samsung Captivate. I recently flashed to Cognition 2.2 Beta 5 via Odin.
With Titanium Backup I was able to restore ALMOST everything, including most of the apps and account settings, which makes restoring almost painless
However, I can't restore TEXT messages. When I restore either:
[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage
[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 2.2
I get the following error every 5 seconds or so making the phone virtually useless- Sorry!
The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close
The only way I found to recover from this error is to use AnReboot (or manually reboot into recovery) and delete all user data. It took me a while to track down exactly what was crashing the phone, as I was randomly restoring stuff
One time I was able to catch a glimpse of the texts before it would repeatedly crash, so, I know that they are intact
I suppose my question is if there is any way to port the messages over, or should I just install an older ROM use another tool to backup the texts and then re-flash...Heck, I should just do that.

its because you are restoring system files from 2.1.....i would recommend using something like SMS backup+ to backup all your SMS messages....it sends them to your gmail so you never have to worry about it. no mms support, but its in the works
No MMS support definately is unfortunate.
This is Not q and a , this is android dev.

As pointed out this is not Q and A and should have been posted in Captivate Q&A or Captivate General or Captivate Themes and Apps..
First off though while I wish everything worked together perfectly this isn't a perfect world. Secondly your complaining that an app doesn't work properly with an unofficial OS release that is called beta even by its creator and that was released 6 days ago! You downloaded a bleeding edge release, be prepared to get cut every now and then.
Cognition rocks as a whole but you need to have realistic expectations for the software developers. They may not test their app with every hacked rom out there, they may be unwilling to possibly brick a device just to see if things work right and they may be wholly unwilling to support 3rd party roms.
I know this may be a silly question, but did you do a reboot after you restored with Titanium? I know my SMS and MMS did not show up again until after the reboot. May also affect many of your other app data.
I had this problem too. first, backup your SMS messages with SMS Backup & Restore. then, archive your MMS Messages with Save MMS (it will move all your MMS pictures to the sdcard folder) AFAIK there is no program out there that will restore MMS messages to 2.2 from 2.1. you can restore the SMS messages w/ SMS backup & restore just fine going from 2.1 to 2.2
mine would flat out hardlock the phone when i restored my SMS/MMS w/ TiBU, or with my backup pro
I had MMS issues when I was running beta 4, all I did was one Odin click back to 2.1 and install beta 5.5 with clockwork recovery and It worked fine after.
- DG + Froyo + Captivate = The best threesome ever!

I wasn't complaining at all. I was simply asking if there was a way to port the texts over.
I simply said it was "unfortunate", as it would have been nice to have my MMS/SMS work as everything else does.
I do agree that the Cognition release is pretty awesome. Not sure why the mail was changed, and a couple other features, but, all in all, 100% better than stock 2.1
I realize it's bleeding edge. I wasn't "expecting" anything, but, when MOST things worked and this didn't I was simply trying to figure out a solution.
GR8Danes-I did reboot. In fact, nothing really restores until after a reboot, and after the reboot is the exact moment it "breaks".
Sicwan-to be clear you can restore SMS, but, not MMS? by archive you basically mean save the attachments I assume. With the SMS, does it at least maintain the threads?
cheetah-I wasn't aware that you could use clockwork with 2.2 beta 5. I thought that involved kernal swapping, or the like. Could you provide a link, or a few more details? This is really the only caveat I've found.
Ooops...Double post

I had the same problem you had, where I restored data from 2.1update1, and it caused a phone crash. I now use SMS Backup & Restore, it backs up and restores every text message, and maintains the threads as well. The only issue I have had with it is that it puts all the MMS messages I've received as the first messages. But on that note, I've also found that it does back up MMS, at least for me...

Maybe I'll give that a try. The TXT's are really the only thing that has me stuck. I have a clockwork backup of my 2.1 image that has tons on it, I have new one's since I've been testing these ROM's.
OK, well, maybe not JUST the texts, but, trying to stay on topic here.
I find myself in an odd spot though. I would like to get all my texts consolidated though so that I can make images of both the old OS, and the new OS, however, I know that if I use clockwork to backup everything as is, it will likely "break" when going backwards.
I'd like to try BETA 6 as well, but, there's even more hesitation as I actually dig car mode (although the music button doesn't work), like moxier, and a few other things that were removed. (Now I've digressed)

OK, that was subtle. Would you happen to have a constructive alternative to restore app settings, MMS/SMS and the like? If TiBu can't restore system data, it's virtually useless.

app settings can be restored by using the batch method on TiBu entitled restore MISSING apps and data NOT apps and system data!
anything in your batch restore that says 2.1 DO NOT restore
USE a different APP for backing up/restoring SMS messages
[BOOKMARKS] Browser 2.2
Accounts
Bluetooth Pairings
Wi-Fi Access Points
[USER DICT]com.android.providers.userdictionary 2.2
[CONTACTS/CALL] Contacts Storage 2.2
[VOICEMAIL] Dialer 2.2
Well, I've successfully restored all of this with no issue (except I don't really believe that my dictionary restored, it just didn't break)
If there was a different APP to restore my SMS/MMS without limitations I'm open for suggestions, why they would choose to make those system files to begin with is beyond my comprehension...
i never restore ANY system data....it only takes a few minutes to change those settings for system apps anyway.
as long as i dont restore ANY system data, i dont get any FC's

set everything up manually. Save your MMS pics to your sdcard. If you have something important in your SMS, forward it to your email...
My comment is not useless, you got an error, posted on here about, and I tell you not to do it because it doesn't work... This is where you should realize something, "HEY, THIS DOESN'T WORK, maybe I should find another way to do it". Seems you didn't get that far, so I have given you an alt route.
If you need a one-click solution for everything and refuse to think outside of the box, you shouldn't be using android. <3 my iPhone4 and iTunes, click backup, click restore, all done. (btw, iPhone4 is my primary phone.)
I did a TB on my contacts in my phone, and a few other things like sms messages etc. When I updated to the 4.5.3 cognition from 4.3.1 it says it restores the app, but when I go to it...it did nothing. No restoration of any data. What gives?
Also im getting used to all this flashing and stuff, but the modem thing is new to me. Since the search feature isnt working I wanted to ask a question. My phone usually has about 3 bars and I used to get excellent internet speeds. NOW all I get max is 552 kbit/sec. Its so slow its irritating. Will flashing the modem help?
my baseband version is I897uckb1
kernal version 2.6.32.9 overstock
Build Cognition 4.5.3
So you used TiBu to restore and nothing showed up? Did you try to restart. I've noticed when you restore the green items in Restore system/user apps, (the only things you should restore from that selection, using restore user apps is just fine), you need to restart the phone to have things like txt messages show up.
Those things are considered system data and should not be restored from TiBu when switching ROMs. Only app data from apps you installed are considered safe to restore with TiBu.
When I do a restore between roms I have found that sometimes I need to reinstall TIBU from the market and then run the recovery.
A couple times the TIBU that came with the rom didnt work. Reinstalling TIBU has given me consistent results anyways.

I've had a lot of success using Google contacts in backing up all my numbers/addresses, ect. You just sign into your reflashed phone, sync, done. Importing contacts any other way never really worked consistently for me.

A simple solution to you problem.would be to install GOSMS PRO and use the SMS backup feature in setting then after you wipe and flash something else you can just restore from the app also the modem depends on where you live but try JF6

Your problems are simple first of all the contacts aren't syncing to Google is because they are stored on the phone or SIM CARD
What you gotta do is two things first of all go into the contacts app and hit the menu button them tap import/export. Export them to your sd card then hit the more button in thee contacts app then go to settings after your in there click save always to google then copy the exported contacts file off your sd card onto your computer them import them to google website

Backing up apps with TiBu is very helpful. Especially with apps that save data, Like Angry Birds. Would you want to lose all your game progress? Without a TiBu backup you would get any paid apps back from the Market, but not any data they created while using them. Some system data can be restored from TiBu, like Contacts and BT pairings info, but only if your on the same ROM base. For instance, when I upgraded from Andromed 1.2 to 3.0 I was able to restore almost all the green system items without issue. When I switched from Cognition to Andromeda and did that the Contacts and dialer apps would force close because they are different and that system data corrupted the apps.
Use titanium for user apps/data only.
SMS Backup & Restore is your friend for sms
And for contacts, always save them to google.
Before I even begin, I was a nub didn't know much about rooting and did it anyways. I suppose I have learned it the hard way and now I must pay.
I rooted my phone and everything went fine.
Before knowing much about Titanium Backup Pro I instead of "freezing" application I have accidentally deleted some apps that I shouldn't have.
When I say my phone is messed up I don't mean not "operational"
I can still use it for day to day but for instant.
I deleted backup manager and now I can't even restore my backups from verizon online.
I also when I try to call somebody from my contacts list I get this error
The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I have random errors like that all the time.
I have unrooted and did a factory reset but to no avail.
Is there anything out there that could help get my phone back to the way it was when I received it?
I know its my fault for not learning but there must be something out there
Any help is appreciated.
When you first rooted, a backup is usually created. Go to your recovery and look for backup and restore and restore it.

Thanks for that quick response, could you be more specific about "Go to your recovery and look for backup" Where do I exactly go. Went around settings but couldn't find backup
There is no backup unless you made a backup.
And there's no recovery mode on the Droid 3 yet either.

Anybody that can help out? Is there maybe an easier way to get back to defaults maybe somebody have an image or something of a stock operating system that could be copied? sorry I have no idea of this stuff yet still learning

Ok here is what I do. Let me know if I am doing ANYTHING wrong at all.
I load up root explorer and transfer my backupmanager.apk and .odex from ex-sdcard to /system/app
then I change the permission to r/w
press and hold the file and go to permission. There I set Owner to Read/Write and Group, Others just have read privilages.
Hold the file again. Then I scroll to the bottom to change owner and group to 0 - root...
Reboot...
The program doesn't appear in my apps? Anything I did wrong?
First off, you are doing it correctly. However, I'm not sure if backup assistant is even an app you can launch from the drawer. You have to launch the "My Accounts" app. Second, you can check if it worked by going into titanium backup, and looking for the app. If the name of the app is in red, then you did it correctly.
Hey thanks for that reply! I have looked into it and like you said, it was there in red but now I can't find the my accounts app all I can find is the my verizon wireless app and our doesn't have any backup functions from what I can tell.
Let me ask you this since you seen to be pretty knowledgeable. I have all the apps on my computer from that file above! Would I be able to just copy paste them with root explorer to /system/apps and then do a system factory restore would that work? Or do I have to manually find the apps I stupidly deleted and do it one by I've like I have been?

If you can't find the app, just go into Settings>Accounts.
As for your question: Unfortunately, it's not that easy (I would know, that's one of the first things I tried when I was fixing that contacts bug ). You would have to set the permissions and owners for every apk and odex file from the system dump. However, that contacts bug should've been fixed if you reinstalled those yahoo apps the same way you reinstalled the backup assistant.
Btw, you do know that backup assistant is pretty pointless since all of your contacts are synced with your Google account, right? People have reported no problems when removing the backup assistant app.
And thanks! I'm no android guru like many others here; just trying to help others with a similar problem that had me stumped for a good hour.
Thanks again. I've located the app but it still gives me troubles and not bein able to sync with the online server please call *811 or something like that. The only reason why I care its because I actually did backup all my contacts to the backup client but couldn't get them back on the phone now! I figured it out last night with syncing to gmail and it worked but still trying to get it back to normal. I will just have to do the rest manually haha! Appreciate it a lot!

I got that error message even without root with all of the system apps in place. Backup Assistant is just a poorly-coded app.
I'm pretty sure you didn't do much damage to your phone. I mean, as long as you didn't remove any other authenticators or other apps that blur needs in order for it to function, you should be fine just reinstalling the yahoo apps I told you about. After all, that looks like it's the only error you're getting.
And no problem.
Alright so now I need urgent help!
I went through the entire applications that I was missing and I gave them all permission etc. Rebooted my device and now I am stuck in this screen.
It's an endless loop because I get the error message and can't exit out of it.
Anything that can be done at all?
Haha, oh wow. I knew I wasn't the only one with that problem. Accounts loved to crash on me whenever I reset my phone. You can fix this one of two ways: hold the search button on your phone until it launches voice search. Say anything; as long as it launches the browser, you'll be fine. Once the search is performed, search for an apk for another home launcher. The accounts app basically hijacked your home button, so you'll need another launcher in order to get your home button back.
The second way involves using the desk dock. If you have one, then go into productivity mode. There should be an app drawer there. Open up the market, and install the launcher of your choice.
Once again, I had this problem even before root, so I'm not sure what the cause for this was.

Once the search is performed, search for an apk for another home launcher. The accounts app basically hijacked your home button, so you'll need another launcher in order to get your home button back.
The second way involves using the desk dock. If you have one, then go into productivity mode. There should be an app drawer there. Open up the market, and install the launcher of your choice.
Once again, I had this problem even before root, so I'm not sure what the cause for this was.

I don't know what I would do without you lol... I was searching google like wild for droid 3 recovery but there is literally NOTHING out there.
Also let me ask you this. If I do a factory reset. Do I have to re-do the whole application proccess to give them permissions or should they be right now
Once it's a system app, it will always be a system app, even after resetting the phone. You should be fine.

So I tried doing the factory reset. Everything went smooth and I was hoping that my phone would be back to the old phone.
I am at the Welcome to DROID 3 screen. Tap on the little green guy, get to the motorola screen from before and same damn error. Except this time, I can't even try to use the voice or search buttons, none of them work.....
What now? I feel so stupid right now
