First of all,hi all,newbies here.. Bought my O2X for about a month n flashed a few custom roms..question is,i read somewhere that 'restoring data' after flashing roms can cause battery drain issue,is that mean restoring thru recovery or titanium backup? I always use titanium backup n restore app only,afraid of the batt drain issue,but it gets annoying coz i need to set up everything again.(account login,settings).

Only restore "user apps", not system data when coming from another rom.
Sometimes restoring user apps WITH data can cause problems, like batterydrain. For example when going from froyo to gingerbread.

Which means everytime we flashed new roms,we need to setup all the accounts n apps settings again,rite? I thought it can be easier. ;-P

not really, when staying on froyo rom (MCR Kitchen for example), just flash over new rom, you will keep your data ...
when flashing new baseband -> also just restore backup in CWM
when changing to CM, i would recommend using titanium or mybackup pro to restore your apps (exclude system apps in backup, cause they are different !)
but when you´re staying on CM , just flash new rom, you will keep your data !

yes !!
i came from fr14 to fr18b2 without wiping anything !
i would only wipe once when you plan to move to cm, but when you stay on MCR based roms, just reflash rom and enjoy !

Fear, BlazingDragon, they are all based on MCR, so it shouldn´t be a problem ...
just try out, in worst case, when facing a bootloop or some other problems, you can wipe anyway afterwards ...
so it´s good to have a "titanium" or "mybackuppro" backup for worst case
Ok thanks dude!

No..
I usually switch between different cyanogen mods because I get bored of it
I wanted to switch to cm7.2 from cyanogen music edition ...bit now I switched back to music edition..
As squadzone's cm7.2 lacks a2sd inbuilt and I fear if enable it and then restore me data like stated above ..ill freeze my fone ...so im wid music edition for the time

you do not need to wipe data and cache just wipe dalvik cache in advanced option so you do not need to restore it again and again thats a better thing to do

Hello,
I have had some issues with a ROM (Extreme ICS) and had to reinstall it.
I backep up everything as Nandroid Backup, because there were several bootloops, everytime stuck etc. and when I restored it, again bootloops.
I restored only "data".
Now, I flashed CM9 and tried to restore only the "data" at "advanced restore", but again, it stucks at the CM9 boot screen and is loading .. now since 10 minutes ..
Tried it with DevilKernel and Semaphore and stock CM9 Kernel of course.
Nothing.
Can I do everything ? Any ideas ? I want to have my apps like colorNote again
Thank you,
YEA64
Restore data one app at a time, and no system data, then you can find the data that is causing problems

You won't have much luck trying to restore data across roms like that though, hence my titanium reference

Damn .. so I can't do anything .. ?
It boots until the boot screen of the ROM .. it passes the Kernel logo and so on .. but it "loads" to a long time, so in your opinion it is non sense to wait ?

I would go for a clean instal, I go back to gb every month or so, just to keep it clean and slick, only takes an hour to clean flash and restore back to where I am on slim, then as soon as I'm back and clean I do fresh nandroid and I know I'm safe and protected, might sound over the top but I give a lot of advise on slim thread and I need to know what works, what are bugs, and what is caused by user mess ups!

Guys!!
i always appreciate the roms our developers make for us to enjoy our phone all the way more...but i know that JB and sumtimes even GB,not like JB but still lags/hangs/gets stuck..i mean i like the interface and all, of custom roms, but even the stock roms lag, and also in the end its about making calls and using watsapp, well atleast for me...!!!
So,
i wanted to know, is there any direct way install JB on my phone (like the nandroid restore) and as per my comfort, switch back to GB without the need do restoring everything (like we always have to do a factory reset and install all the apps again and restore every data again),
like can i use the nandroid restore to restore back to gb???
another thing is, suppose if i have a nandroid backup of my stock rom, and then i installed slim jb or galaxperia on my phone and want to shift back to stock...can i do the nand restore from cwm/twrp without thinking for a second (i.e. after doing the factory reset)???
From JB custom roms to JB stock, yes. If you have made nandroid backup, you can just restore. From JB to GB I don't think you can. You need to follow the downgrade procedures.
Thnx..and is there a way to get all my apps and data like they were before i installed a new rom
For eg: i have slim jb and want to shift to galaxperia...how can i without loosing the data and apps ( or without fact.reset)...i know i can use titanium but is there any other way of not even deleting them in the 1st place
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Well the reason for factory reset is to avoid any complications when switching roms..you can try flashing roms without factory reset but maybe there will be some problems. Therefore it is recommended to do so. As for backup, other that titanium you can just backup data using twrp but I prefer titanium
Guys thanks for the help..appreciate it!!
One more favor please...im currently on DDLK2 indian GB and im thinking of shifting to OmegaRomX by shaan....now i have made a backup of my stock rom using Twrp (system 552mb & data 826mb)..now as the procedure says i will factory reset before rebooting to Omega rom...
I want to ask, is it possible if i restore JUST my Data from backup, on Omegarom...i mean will i get all my apps and their data as it was...and i wont need to download it all again...
Will it work?will it cause any trouble??
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Guys, gr8 news by sammy....maybe its old but i found it now...they have released jb (I9070ODDULP8) in india...does that mean its stable???
i am currently on GB...n seriously bored with this phone...are there any lags in using apps and mailnly opening the calling app...in short is it available for daily use!!!
or should i go for the latest russian version released, as russia was the first where jb was released and so i was thinking maybe it would be more stable!!!
you should go for the Indian firmware..it's very good.. battery life is awesome and practically no lags..

Hi people!!!
I'm ready to change my old android 4.0 for a new one, i'm thinking in 4.2.2 because it's newer and i think that has less bugs that this version.
But i'm worried about my apps, and services, like my gps points and my advace in my games and download again everything!!!
So, i want to know if exist any app to avoid download all again, and keep my info, like my notes, my downloads and everything.
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Google will back up all of your apps if you opted to do so. Make a nandroid back up in recovery, as well as a TiBu backup. Then when you isntall 4.2.2 you should be able to recover everything with those 3 backups.

Going from 4.0 to 4.2.2 could cause issues though so be warned that after you restore your data you could encounter FC's. Not saying it will happen but there is always a chance. Especially considering that there is a completely different partition layout between where you are and where you are wanting to go.

Well wouldn't he just flash 4.2.2 twice, then the gapps, and restore non-system apps and be fine?

Yes that would work perfectly as far as restoring apps. However the restore of user data for the apps so he has his last save point on a game or is already logged into Facebook might be a different story. With the use of the /datadata partition in JB it could cause issues. But it might not I really don't know.

Good point, didn't think of that. I would think the apps should be able to find the correct path though when restoring backups from ICS to JB...worst comes to worst just move it manually

I know that cm10.1 has a symbolic link, data/data >> datadata, that gets created when you flash it. I imagine that is only there to allow legacy settings to work.

Thanks for the answers, its really helpfull for me.
Mmm i think that it's better download all again, after that generate a issues in device, because it's just why i'm changing my android version jeje to avoid problems and bugs.
So, i want just one answer, what it's better for me.
Make that backup and restore with all its problems, or just download all my apps again and lose the data.
Remember i am a noob in this world, and i think that i can afford the time of install all again.
Thank forum, it's just a lot of help for me.

Try both out. I would start by doing all your backups and then upgrade and try to restore your data. If it works then go with it. If you have problems resort to the other option.

Take a backup using CWM of your current ROM.
Install a new ROM (whichever u like)
Download Nandroid Manager.
Using Nandroid Manager u can restore all apps and data from CWM backup of old ROM...
