On Illuminance, there are some included apps (Polaris office, etc.)
If I switch to another similar ROM, another kk4 ROM or any that is compatible, and I want to use that app, is the best way to "bring" it is to back it up with Tibu? (presume it will be available to restore on the new ROM?) or is it better to extract the .apk from the ROM?
Thanks
Do both..if the tibu restore gives you issues, just install the apks.

Thank you
My suggestion is to install the apks directly, will save you lot of pain.

Titanium backup is a free market program that you can DL, backup, install ROM, re-DL Titanium backup and still be able to restore your programs.
I use the paid version that gives you some extras but the free version should do just fine.
I am really enjoying to try different custom Roms.
But everytime when I flash to JF6 and get new Roms, I have installed all my applications and email accounts again and again.
Is there any way to carry over?

Free app on market titanium backup. This will back up your apps, I would not suggest emails or any system data. It will save your apps and their settings. Once again though, no system data as this changes from rom to rom and restoring it can cause issues.
If you need a quick walkthrough pm me

You can also use the free version of Astro File Manager to backup your apps. It worked really well for me, but it doesn't backup private apps.
I know there will be someone saying that this is already posted but I have not seen as with multiple searches and extensive readings.
Can all the Apps from the SCH-I500 be posted somewhere and I mean the APK's or zipped versions on this site? With all the flashing there are a few from the original that are very good, then they are lost. Or an area to teach us how to abstract them from the ROM's we found them on or the originals. Or link's to where they can be found?
Like Desk Cradle etc. I have flashed many of the ROMs like the Froyo (Kaos), Super Clean, DJ05, DL09 the new Red recovery kernel etc. but always there was something good from the original that I can not find or wished I had back.
Also, is there a moderator on the site that can get the non Fascinate stuff out of here or move? Like Eris, Telus, I9000 we are confused enough without keeping it pure - Samsung Fascinate SCH-I500.
Thaks for any help or suggestions,

You can back your apps up with titanium back up or astro file manager

Skillz360 Thank you for your reply.
But Lucy please Esplain!
I have used Titanium and backed up some but as usual the wrong ones the VZW crap.
Do I just backup all that I like or would be interesed in? Then when I reload Titanium on the new ROM the apps will be there for reinstall? Also in Astro all I see are the APK's I downloaded from Market or not the OEM's. And I am rooted.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

use Titanium to backup what ever apps you want and you can just use it to restore the app or apps that you want on a new rom ect.. yes when you reinstall Titanium on a new rom you can just load your app or app that you want
If you go into Rom Manager, under sonofskywalker3's section, most of the stock apps can be reinstalled from there.
Thanks
I have seen under ROM Manager but they do not have many and does anyone know where they go when you use ROM Manager or are they only temporary?

Actually as well as I'm aware, by default Titanium Backup does not backup system apks, it only makes a backup of system app data. I use Root Explorer, go into the /system/app/ folder and manually select and copy over desired apks onto the sdcard.
Look for stock deodexed ROMs, you can unzip them and get your desired apks onto your sdcard, and use Root Explorer to copy them into your /system/app/ folder.
If you need any of the system APKs let me know. I have most of them available in deodexed form.... I believe from the DJ05 leak. But should work on whatever. Just let me know which ones you need and I can send you a link for them.

Hey!
Since I'm flashing alot of ROM's and reinstalling etc all the time, it would be nice not having to make all the Settings over and over again.
Where are the settings stored?
Can't be very hard to create a installable CWM zip-file with those?
I would appreciate any help regarding this...
Cheers!
depends what your trying to save... you can use titanium backup there is a free and donate version and it is a must have app if your flashing all the time...
1 click backup (all apps + data )
1 click restore. saves lots of time and hassle
Thx for your answer!
I know this already, though... I would like to acheive this using a CWM zip, though...
as far as i know its not possible yet.... i tried this myself and couldnt get it to work...
you can go to www.romkitchen.org and there you can select create an update.zip which you can pack all the stock apps and boot animations / keyboards and stuff... that is flashable thru CWM but to make your own zip file full of 3rd party apps wont work.
Ok, alright, thank you for your input!
To clearify, it's only the android settings i want to backup. Not app settings...
But I'm sure you got that already.
well titanium backup can back up system data, but if your flashing a different rom its not recommended to restore system data from the previous rom as this can cause instability issues.
If u use a modded kernel like speedmod in cwm recovery backup data,dbdata and cache. Then you can flash and restore only apps.
For settings use titanium but you need the same base rom or something wrong can happen like random fc.

So I tried the new MIUI rom for Milestone and I really liked it, I switched from CM7, and when I did a data restore from CM7 to MIUI, it made my phone freeze and not run properly, giving me system errors. So I wiped and did a davlik wipe as well. Did a nandroid restore to my CM7 rom and used Astro file manager to backup all my apps. Than I wiped again and flashed MIUI, than used astro to install all the apps again, but they do not show up as installed in my market. Just the purchased ones show up as not installed, just pruchased. Is there a way that I can fix it, so the market will detect me installed apps so I can update them. I was hoping to have to avoid reinstalled 50 or more apps.
Thanks, Adam.
Hope all that made sense lol

Use TITANIUM BACKUP and use the option to force app to show on market.
the Market Doctor? or is there another option? Will restoring my apps make them appear in the market?
Thanks.

Download the TITANIUM BACKUP and them look for the option to attach the app you want to the Market.
Simple like that.
search app call "google xxx architecture" in manage application, clear cache, reboot,relogin gmail, open market
off coz use tititum backup to save the app for DR
