I must admit I do it often. With so many ROMs out there is like being a kid in a candy store. my 8gb sd card is maxing out with nandroid backups! arghh!!!
You have ORD then
Deffo ORD. A hopeless case sadly, beyond saving.
You could try going into recovery to see if that helps*
*That was a test. If you reached for your phone and booted into CWM then there is NO helping you. If you took 'Recovery' to mean a support group then there may be some hope yet!
It's called ORD.
Welcome to, the dark side.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nah this is absolutely normal ... the reason i change roms every week is the fact every single one has one or two bugs in it that make my normal lifestyle and well being completely impossible ...
Can anyone mention, which rom has the best battery life and speed ??

Just as a word of advice...avoid asking that. You'll most likely either get chewed out or get the same answer every time....you'll know what that answer is right away. Not trying to get on your case, just a fair warning.
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
Yeah I find myself doing that. I've already done it four times today. What I don't like is all the times I have to reinstall all my apps. :/
It annoys me too the way I lose unread texts while I'm flashing a new ROM.
I also have some weird strange thing, where when I change ROM's it'll resend all the texts I've sent that day. I quite like annoying people when I do that tbh.

I've used it before... Don't like the way you had to keep clicking install and open with every app. I use MyBackup Pro and it uses the market links to install them. Doesn't always work though.
Yes (Response to questionnaire)

If you get the paid version of titanium backup up you can run batch operations.
And I flash so many times a day I lose count, all ways feel like I need to be running the latest and greatest.

No cant say i do but certainly for the first 6 months or so when i joined this forum i used to be a bit of a ROM flashing addict, been using Sergio Coredroid now since January and that's the longest ive gone without flashing anything else.
i am a flashoholic...everyday i log in just to check if a new rom is out...the longest i've gone without a flash is 4 days...today is the 4th day
Only if I see improvement, I don't care about homes and colors, ill do that on my own

I went 2 weeks without flashing my DZ. It was on 1.72 so I had no root and no ROMs.
Now - (If there are any bloody ROM updates) I flash as they upload.

Yes. If I won't try all of them roms, how should I know I use the best one?!
Yes def get the paid version of titanium. I used to switch like Once a week but I am loving trigger right now. Don't think im going to be switching anytime soon. Still switch kernels left and right tho lol

I've been using gingervolt (now on 2.0) since about 30 minutes after I picked up my Revo back in November, and now I'm thinking about trying the ZV8 upgrade out to see how it does. My question is, If I flash the v7rooted rom, then unroot and reinstall the LG boot loader, will I lose my text messages? I know I can use sms backup and restore to re load them, but it doesn't seem to backup picture messages, which I would like to keep a few. Do I need to just save those pictures to my phone/computer and wipe it all?
Really not wanting this thing binged again, but I would like to see if it takes care of a few of the issues that I am having (mostly battery, the browser back button, and the very occasional reboot.)
I would also like to say thank you to all of you guys who have done so much for the Revo.

Yeah, I know... I do understand they have lives outside of this though, so I was just thinking about trying it out for a couple days and if it doesn't do any good then I can always roll back and re-root and flash gingervolt again. I guess I'm just being curious and impatient, and should probably leave well enough alone.
When I had to re-install Gingerbread when I was deleting my registered e-mail with the phone I put on the .tot of GB and yes, it'll erase your messages.

Coming from gv 2.0 to the zv8 update has been amazing for me. I got 16 hours on the standard battery today before it shut off, no random reboots, no touchscreen stops working at random, my reception is better, and the phone responds well and feels fast. I followed the method posted somewhere in the dev section to maintain root on the update (so I could keep free wifi tether ;-)) and was able to freeze the bloatware and do small tweaks.

I guess I'd been on the same Rom for probably 6-7 months, internal memory full, external SD full, probably done 30 nightly upgrades.
My phone was running horribly, took 3 minutes to boot up, unresponsive, crashing, horrible battery life, just slow in general.
Finally had enough and decided to wipe everything and start over on a clean cm7 Rom and wow, back to warp speed, dont even need to overclock anymore!
I was seriously considering burning my o2x and buying an s3 or something.. but now I can see myself using it for at least another year.
If anyone else has lost hope with their o2x, try a full wipe. You may be surprised how slow yours has gotten!

Ok, but, if you wipe everything, then you lose yourself, you won't have anything in your phone, starting from zero doesn't sound like anything I would like to try, because wiping everything, then restoring would be the same as no wiping at all.
Anyways, if you start from zero, then, after sometime you'll be at the same place you were before wiping.
I suppose he restored apps and data from backup, so all he lost is 30 minutes of work. I did the same for the same reason last week. Since then, I am less impatient for ICS.

Nope, didn't
Had 140 apps, few of which I actually used apparently lol.
I literally started from zero, and surprisingly turned out I've only had to install about 20 apps as I've needed to use them.
My mobile provider is pretty decent so no prob downloading apps
My phone is literally 300% faster, and doesn't crash anymore.
im amazed at how my battery % stays where it is for the most part.
Was probably a pretty extreme case before I wiped it though, 20gb of crap and 150 apps is probably beyond the scope of most normal users Lol.
Didn't really take me too long to start over. Game saves are the only thing I kept really.

No 20 GB on the sd full with stuff plus 150 sounds about right. My sd is 23 GB full and apps around the same. Alone just on games I have over 50 on it.

I had pretty much the same experience about two weeks ago. I always wanted to get a Galaxy Nexus, but now I can wait patiently for the next one(s), especially with the ICS update coming (hopefully?). Going from CM9 to CM7, now it's always super fast and snappy, plus I can play back videos with higher resolution now. The one thing I don't like though is calling somebody because the contact pictures are so small and in such a bad quality..

I think most complaints about slow roms and memory usage are due to unused app overload. Sure, you can be vigilant with your task killers and keep an eye out for apps eating resources and battery, but that's still much easier to do if you go round and uninstall every app you haven't used in the last month. You won't get quite such a big improvement as a full wipe, but it still keeps things running more smoothly.
I only wish google play had some way to tag apps you have uninstalled so that you can sort the good ones that you might want to download and use once in a while from the bad ones you tried out and though were useless. Game saves are also a problem here, as it's sometimes tricky to keep the saves when you delete the rest of the game data.
Totally agree with you!
I restarted many time from zero but it seems I can't live without 140 installed apps at least. :laugh:
I tried many ROM but the best ROM for me is Temasek with Symbiosis Kernel.
With some little settings I've a great Battery life and great performances!
I'm only waiting for ICS cause I want Chrome!!! :crying:

I don't think game saves are tricky at all... Just do a backup with titanium backup, and save the file on google drive or on your desktop and get it out of your phone! Easy!

I agree, wiping is magic. I originally thought my phone was really bad, trying every CM7 based rom and kernel, all of which lagged.
But I don't understand, why does the phone slow down so much after a short while? I don't think normal users can stand wiping their phones every other month. Even my friend's S2 can survive a couple of months without a wipe and remain speedy.

I just saw kind of heavily noticable improvement, when I instead of reflashing stock and installing+setiing, I reflashed stock and flashed nandroid backup.
Cannot explain, except for some fragmentation theory (which for flash memories should not be much of an issue, right?).
Also, flashing few CFWs and then reflashing stock V20Q with SmartFlash made few bugs I had disappear - specifically the bug I got in When switching from Asphalt to SMS then back then to Email then back then to hotmail ..... It does not restart anymore ... cannot explain (That's how I occasionally work hehe.)
I'm pretty experienced with setting up Android devices, mainly because I get a new one every month or so (it's a real problem). I had the Nexus 4 and recall allowing it to restore from a backup. When I did that on the Nexus 5, it started downloading random apps from other devices that I don't even use anymore. I don't know what backup it was pulling from, but it was messy.
The worst part was, it kind of froze in the middle and refused to keep downloading apps. I cleared the cache on the Play Store app and started again. It downloaded a few apps, then quit again. I tried clearing data on Google Play, downloads, and Framework and nothing would work. When I tried to download apps manually, it would just give me an error and say it couldn't download. It wouldn't even update my existing apps.
Finally, at the recommendation of someone in Google groups, I logged out of Hangouts, then tried to log back in. It wouldn't let me log back in, even after several restarts.
Ultimately, after trying pretty much everything, I had to do a factory wipe and start over from scratch. I went through something similar (though not as bad) restoring from a backup a few months back. The moral of the story is, I will probably never restore from backup again.
After about an hour of setting up my accounts and downloading my apps manually, it's finally up and running. What a ride.

Pay a few dollars and get Titanium Backup Pro or Helium Premium. Google's backup and restore is horrendous; no one with any sense actually uses it. The paid versions of TiBu and Helium are well worth it. TiBu was my go-to for a long time, but I use Helium now. It has a much more user-friendly interface, and it doesn't require root.

I'm pretty sure that if you uninstall apps outside of the playstore, then upon a backup restore it will restore that app again. If you uninstall from the store, it won't restore it again. This is just my guess on things I think i've noticed.. I never actually tried to prove my theory right.
Basically there's no way for us to force it to sync a current setup. If you start flashing nandroids and roms will mess it up as well.

In the Play Store it keeps track of every app you download, if you no longer want them backed up you have to delete them from "my apps."

are you kidding me? nexus 5 may not have much to do with it, but this is a very legitimate bug in the current backup/restore system google has in place. i'm sure in time further revisions with work things out, but right now it sucks.
fwiw, i have everything backed up in titanium, but i'm not rooted and i don't wanna mess around with that right now. having the ability to easily move from android to android is something that has been sorely missing for some time for the average user.

Because Google backup doesn't work. You said yourself you've had problems with it before. For someone "experienced in setting up Android phones," I am surprised you haven't been using TiBu/Helium all along. Trust me, it's well worth spending the few dollars if you switch phones or ROMs more than once a year. Relying on Google backup to restore anything more than your contacts is user error.

Hi guys, i wanna perform a downgrade back to jellybean because kit kat really gets on my nerves for multiple reasons..
The reason i have not done this yet is purely because i dont want to lose anything i have on my phone, basically I'm looking for a backup programme which backs up absolutely everything i have on my internal storage, including 3rd party apps I've installed and set up, downloaded videos which are stored within apps and everything else pretty much THEN once I have performed the downgrade, to be able to just restore the backup and have my phone identical to how it is now only with jellybean instead of kitkat. Is this possible? Cheers in advance.
Titanium Backup is Good but sometimes gives errors.. I personally use Super Backup Pro it never fails very good for App and other items backup and restore

Very true, using the non pro version will work but it's a mundane task to have to allow and then install each and every app one after another, very useful if you plan on testing different roms with your apps, the automated process is so much quicker and it'll save you time.
Half way through installing 300+ apps you'll be thinking of that pro key.
Plus the do deserve your cash, amazing app titanium.
When looking into these backup apps including titanium it says I need to be rooted to use the features i want. I'm not rooted and dont really plan to be. It's a shame really because i moved over to android so i had more freedom and control over my device and at first I had as much control as i needed with jellybean (more is better obviously) but the kitkat update pretty much made every sd enabled phone into a poor device. Plus I find the wifi range is really bad on kitkat but jellybean had so much better range. My point is that it's annoying that i should have to root my phone to make it as i want it and be able to toy with the settings when really it should already either have these features or be better optimised. Now I'm wondering if i should just root my phone rather than downgrading it? If i root it can i tweak the wifi range? And can I allow my apps to have better access to my sd card? Also if i upgrade to 4.4.4 can i still root the phone after? Cheers
If you root, it is easier to do on 4.4.4, and you can fix the sd card issue.

Fantastic help from you guys, much appreciated. It's good to actually be on a forum without morons! Lol
Ok so im now possibly leaning toward the rooting route.. Would you advise getting it done by someone in a shop or doing it myself? I'm pretty competent but if it's a risky process then I'd rather it be done properly! Are there any good tutorials for rooting from 4.4.4? Also does rooting wipe the phone memory? Cheers
And any app recommendations for rooted phones that allow me to sort out the sd access problems, also apps that allow me to tinker with my wifi range etc.. Just any good full customisation apps really so i can really get this phone as it should be!
