Total noob here. Hope this is a legit post.
I have rooted my CDMA Hero using Hero Rooter and have superuser permissions. Have successfully flashed CM7 using ROM Manager. Have MyBackup Root installed also and have done nandroid backup also. I cannot figure out how to restore my email settings (pop and exchange) and applications post flash. Google contacts returned fine when signing on/up to Google.
I have gone back to stock rom but would like to stick with CM7. Sorry if I am missing the obvious. How do i get the email and apps back on the new ROM? A recommendation for a contact manager to replace what Sense People widget would be appreciated also

This is my first question; so apologies f I'm not clear.
I've been messing around a little with my phone. I have root, Amon_Ra's Recovery and I'm currently using MoDaCo's Enhanced ROM. Out of curiousity, I thought I'd try CyanogenMod and see what that was like.
So I wiped my Nexus, flashed Cyanogen and booted up. After linking to my Google Account, I noticed that none of my settings or apps from the cloud had been synced and nothing I did allowed me to access them. (I think I remember seeing that there is no automatic option for this, so that might have been the reason.)
Next, I tried MoDaCo's Froyo ROM for rooted phones, as I'm really curious about it. Same problem, nothing was synced.
Rather worried, I restored my phone to the Original Shipping image (keeping Amon_Ra's recovery) and not only did nothing sync, but starting any update would restart the phone, load up the Recovery and then fail to update with a verification error.
Rather irritated, I wiped and then flashed to MoDaCo's ROM. Lo and behold, all my apps and settings were restored from Google's Cloud.
I am so unbelievably confused, it's not funny. If I made a backup using Nandroid, would that restore my apps and settings when I changed to a new ROM? Or am I way off base here?
(I'm rather new at this, so apologies in advance.)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
The last cyan rom I used (5.0.6?) did not have cloud restoring of apps, I always thought this was a froyo feature/?
Nandroid does a complete backup of your system including apps, settings, rom etc... so technically yes it does restore your apps, just not from the cloud.
Thanks behelit, but I'm not interested in restoring the original ROM, just the Apps and settings should I change to a different ROM.
Anyone have an idea why I can't access cloud from Froyo or Original stock ROM? Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Hi I have just rooted my Legend and installed Cyanogen mod and its all running lovely.... I notice that the nightly builds come out quite regularly.
My question is this....
What is the best way to install the new ROM?
What is the easiest way to get all my settings/ installed apps back? Is there a nice and easy way of backing up everything so that I can install the new ROM and then reinstate everything?
Thanks in advance for any useful info.

Hi ,
One software for all : Rom Manager
With it you can :
backup & restore all your phone (from app or from recovery menu in nandroid area)
It also allow you to download and install other ROM like nightly build
Bye
Not sure if that is what the question meant? I thought they wanted to know how to reload all apps and settings on the new rom, not just how to recover back to the old rom.
I thought titanium backup would be the go, but I myself am still getting the hang of this whole rom flashing thing.

If it is just for restoring installed apps, then Titanium Backup would be the best way for me.

Nand backup from recovery menu for safety, titanium for apps.. Btw: questions shuld be posted in general not in dev..
OK I've done all my research on flashing my Captivate. I have rooted and installed Titanium Backup. I have also installed ODIN3 and ROM Manager.
Before I flash a new ROM, I have a few questions.
1)I have worked diligently to purchase apps I like and use often. Changing the ROM clears these and all I have done. How do I save this setup and where do I save it to? Can I flash back to my original with everything in tact?
2)Upon choosing a new ROM and installing it, can I go back into the market and re-download apps I have already purchased? ex:Beautiful Widgets.
Please understand I am trying this for the first time. PLEASE be specific!
Thanks Tomween1

Titanium Backup will take care of all that for you....
but yes, even if you dont use titanium backup, you can go into the market and your purchased items will be there.
apps that you purchase (pay money for) are bound to your google account. as long as you sign into the same google account after flashing a new rom or stock rom, you will be able to download all of those apps.
Hey there all. I recently decided to flash my phone back to stock odex firmware via kies (JVT) and rooted it via superoneclick so I could remove useless apps with Titanium. I happened to delete the calendar sync process/function from the system and now im getting force closes from calendar. Obviously the calendar was working prior to this, so im assuming im needing to re-install the calendar to get it to work again, anybody know if this will work or will I need to flash again fresh? If its as simple as installing the Calendar.apk to make it work, anybody have it available for JVT (if version matters or not) ive googled for the .apk, but was not comfortable with installing anything without finding out first. That, and the fact the .apks I found I wasnt happy with them being correct.
Thanks for any help peeps

Hi all,
I wanted to give cyanogenmod a go as I really liked the security guard idea so I used the HTC sync manager to backup my contacts and messages and set about getting cyanogen installed.
All went to plan (pretty much) until I tried to retrieve my contacts etc. I didn't realize the Sync Manager was dependant on Sense which obviously isn't there anymore so the phone won't sync with the software.
What can I do?
I think I can revert to stock if I can find an image and then retrieve the contacts, is there then another way to back everything up?
I hope you can help because my phone's looking very empty and sorry for itself
Thanks
Sync your contacts with google and back up your messages with an app from the play store. I use SMS Backup and Restore.
Thanks, do I need to 'de-root' my phone or can I install a stock image? Would I get this image from HTC?
I went into bootloader and clockworkmod to try and restore the original rom from there, does cyanogen not make a backup of the previous rom?
No ROM makes a backup before it Flashs that is up to you to do yourself. You will have to flash a stock based ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I did a bit of reading before installing and CM seemed like a quick and easy option to get the job done and try an alternative ROM. I even said over on their forum that I had backed up using the Sync Manager and no one thought to mention that I wouldn't be able to restore any data. No one said make sure you take an image yourself because CM won't do it for you.
And to top it all off I'm not that happy with CM, the battery life is atrocious.
Ah regrets!
