Is there a backup utility which restores your home page to how you had it before? It's just a re pain to have to redo everything after installing a nighlty.
Use Apex or Nova launcher, they are very similar to CM9 stock launcher but they have backup-restore capability....
I am liking Apex. Thanks!

I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong section
My problem is the following:
I am currently using RC3 of Cyanogen's ROM. However, ROM Manager tells me there is an update, that being 6.0.0-N1
So I backed up the ROM using ROM Manager, installed the latest update, then restored the settings and applications from the backup I made. As far as I can tell, this reverts back to RC3, which is obviously not what I want
My question is, is there a way to backup the settings, applications and changes I made (UI, performance etc) so that, having installed 6.0.0-N1, I can restore and effectively use my phone the same as before (just with an updated ROM)?
Thanks
you're correct this is wrong section for your question hihi~
as far as I know, you might be able to use Titanium Backup to back up all applications, including few of system settings, it's available as free software in Market.
Every CM release introduces new features, so it might not be practical to back up all settings, since they may change in newer release.
I think I've heard of people who upgraded from CM 6 RC3 to CM6 Stable by flashing zip in recovery and had no problem... so you might like to try this way.
hmm.. dude.. you have no idea what you are doing..
Download the update via ROM Manager when it's downloaded a dialog appears. Click backup ROM and only that! no need to wipe. Click ok, wait for it to install... and that is it... no need to do anything else.
As for your backup restore.. ofcourse it goes back to RC3.. you restored te whole RC3 backup image.. that deletes the current system...
when you're upgrading from RC3 to final CM6 your settings apps all of it will stay if you don't wipe and it should work ok.
When I upgrade, the settings don't stay the same
For example, I set it to have 7 home screens and only 4 icons per row on the application drawer; when I upgrade, it goes back to whatever it would be normally

thats probably because you wiped.
If you restore to your RC3 backup you can go into settings > ADWLauncher > Backup and restore > backup ADW settings and Backup desktop configuration. Now upgrade to the stable release with no wipe. If your home screens don't survive, then first make sure all the same apps are installed and then restore the ADW backup the same way. The only things that won't make the trip are your widgets, which you'll have to re-add.
I've installed the newest 2.2.1 GOT, and I've tried allmost all the rom's in this forum. I'm constantly faced with an issue with Titanium Backup freezing. My next step was to just install the apps all over again from the market... however, now I'm faced with some apps downloading but cannot install. i.e Angry birds, Time Mobile to name a few.
Obviously this cannot be an issue with all roms, but perhaps my phone or a botched installation... but how can it be a botched installation for ALL roms?
Can anyone provide me with some suggestions where I can solve this issue?
I'm currently using a Telus Milestone with Cyanogenmod.
Hey there, I would advise you to flash the 2.2.1 SBF once again using RSD Lite and then try, dont use the Stock 2.2.1 GOT ROM it hogs battery.... I am using Cronos 1.5.0 and it works lyk a charm......
Problem with titanium bakcup is, it also recovers data i think. You need to restore only APK if you change from different ROM. I use Google backup option, that reinstalls all apps when i log in, simple.. But you could also use MyBackupPro.
For example SMS restore with titanium backup worked fine with 2.2.1 - 2.2.1 changes in ROM, but when i cahnged to 2.1 it couse FC all the time...
Again MyBackupPro saved me, it has a backup tehnique, that is not dependant on version of SMS application.
Hi,
I have a stupids question, as i am going to flash a custom Rom (Fear edition F19) I did a backup with Titanium, I just have noobie question, when i will restore after flashing, will it restore all those LG apps too ? like car home , sns etc ? I only want the Apps that are provided in the Fear edition + Apps that i have installed myself + data
What should i do if it will install LG apps ?
Also another noobie question as Fear edition come with a launcher, will be backup replace that launcher if it is same ? Go launcher for example ?
Thanks for your help
Yes it will restore the LG apps.
But at the restore function in titanium backup you can check/uncheck which apps you want to restore.
You can always cook it in the modaco kitchen so you can choose what you want.
Or you can easily uninstall them easily with titanium backup even if they are system apps.

No, it will NOT restore the system apps from you backup. If your new ROM contains the same system app as a previous backup, it will restore the data for it.
TB does not backup system apps, only system data. Your user apps will be restored.
I'm not sure I understand the launcher question. Anyway, if TB restores a launcher, the next time you press HOME you will be asked which launcher to use.

One is saying Yes and other No who to believe lolzz I jsut installed the Custom Rom so i need the answer please before i mess up with restore lolzz
I have a major problem. When I restore apps using titanium backup, and then restart my phone, all of my apps disappear. They aren't restored to my SD card or anything, they just disappear. I'm not sure if this is a rom/kernel issue or a titanium backup issue. They show up in my Settings>Applications>Manage Applications but they show up as "com.xxxxxxx.xxx" and they don't appear in my appdrawer. I've been having this problem on Mosaic, Apex, and Obsession. The kernels I've tried are Talon and Existz Voodoo. Sorry if this question has been asked/solved but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
It sounds like you are flashing cwm3 roms with cwm2. Try flashing a rom, then as soon as its booted, go into recovery and flash it again.
Or
Follow directions for installing a rom from the op of the rom thread. Follow them word for word.
Thank you so much. re flashing worked perfectly.

Is it possible to backup and restore TouchWiz home screen folders/groups? This will be for a rooted stock rom.
Cheers
