[Q] Losing my apps when I install a rom

I am a n00b, just wanted to know how I can keep the apps that I have if I want to change from CM 6 to Sapphire 1. When I rooted my phone and put on CM I lost all my apps including the Shazam that allowed unlimited songs. When I reinstalled from the market now I'm only limited to 5/month, which isn't a big deal but I would like to just keep all 'my' data like #'s and photos.
Thx

Titanium backup.free version will do.backup everything before you flash.after you flash, redownload it & restore your apps.awesome app

So, there isn't a feature in the SYNC software that does a device backup of the apps/contact lists/settings?

Google will sync your contacts back when you sign in. I've seen some apps come back but never any paid ones. Titanium will restore app & data back. Manually with the free , automatic with donate version. It also lets you freeze apps which hides them rather than removing them.

How to remove system apps phone, internet etc

Hi everyone I want to remove the default phone and internet app from my phone. I know how to remove others by just deleting the apk in system/app like the gallery and FM radio, but the phone app is different you get force closes.
I'm using dialler one and opera instead but the default ones still pop up sometimes and because I've changed my dpi to 192 the phone app looks crap and annoying.
Can someone help with this please I did a search and couldn't find anything but to be honest the search in the xda app is below par.

Hi, i use Titanium Backup for this. It can backup, freeze and uninstall any app.
First i freeze system apps i do not like, so they are still there are can not be used by user or system. If there is no side effect after using mobile and reboot i uninstall app.
Hope this helps - Cheers

You need to be rooted to remove system apps.

Yeah thanks I am rooted used titanium never even thought of trying that have done the phone app but still unsure on the android browser.

Uninstalled:
o F-Secure
o Car Home
o LG Email (installed stock android e-mail instead, it actually works with Exchange.)
o PC Suite
o On Screen Phone and related services
o LG Launcher (don't do this unless you're sure you'll not need to factory reset.)
o SNS (Twitter/Facebook, official apps are better.)
o All LG-widgets except for Messages and Calendar.
o Voice Search
If you're unsure if uninstalling an app will mess up your phone, just freeze it instead. (If you're using Titanium Backup, which you should, you can get it to remove it from the Market and app-screen as well, making it appear completely uninstalled. If your phone doesn't do anything strange for a week then it's probably safe to uninstall it for real.)

thanks TrymHansen...
i do have Titanium backup pro. i'm a veteran of the galaxy i7500, so i did alot of freezing and uninstalling.
i opened this thread to compile a list of safe prof uninstalling so everyone will benefit
from it.
your reply is great contribution in that cause.

How you uninstalled all these apps?

Optimus2XPrime -
1. you need to have root (read how to in the Development sector).
2. you need to install any uninstalling tool from the market (Titanium backup for example).
3. you need to be very careful with what you uninstall so the phone will still be usable.
4. advice - uninstall stuff thet you read others have and reported it's fine...

1) done
2) downloaded
3-4) will be done
P.S some minutes after my post I found the answer

what does freeze do ?

removes selected app from app drawer and cannot be started by user and/or system. like they are uninstalled, but still there, occupying few megabytes. can easily be un-freezed from Titanuim

Isnt there any free software ? titanium is paid one

to Freeze LG Facebook, Freeze "SNS".
Music 1.0 vs 2.2.2 - One is the music widget, one is the player.

[Q] Social+ | Syncing Facebook contacts

Hi,
When we used the 4.0.2 version ICS, we had the option to use Social+, which would synchronize friends (and their numbers) to the contact list, if it was applied in the settings. Now as we are on 4.1.2, Social+ has been removed (citation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177252, under Removal) and I have lost a fair lot of my contacts, which is sad, as it was convient.
Are there any equivalent to Social+? Did you use it?

Try using the app ubersync for Facebook from the play store. It works ok.

From what I've read and personally use, I recommend the competing app Haxsync, which works great!

use contact+ from playstore

Running apps in memory

I happen to have 3 Galaxy Note devices, original, 8 and 10.1 and I use Samsung Link to stream shows to a tv using AllShare. When I stream something on the original Note the stream is often interrupted (perhaps twice during a 45 minute show) due to lost stream. I have finally figured that the problem is on the original Note. The Samsung Link software is "pushed" out of memory, due to incoming notifications or Dropsync doing something.
I went into the Task Manager> Available memory> Running applications, there I discovered that the Note seems to only hold two apps in memory at the time even if there are some 400 MB memory available and one of them seems to always be Google Music Player, even if I haven't launched it, not even once since booting the device.
Sooo, is there a method to a) make the Note accept more apps in memory, or B) temporarily disable GMP?

Google music player can be disabled from settings - applications. Find it and press disable.

I could probably use Tasker to simplify the process, thanks.

Freeze as many apps as possible with titanium backup (Root required). Also, install Geenify for user apps taht you din't want to run unless they are active

Discovered that i couldn't disable Google Music Player, that would require me to first uninstall all the updates. Stupid setup.

It's stock. Running 4.1.2 (I think)
With all the RAM it just surprised me that it doesn't hold more than two apps in memory simultaneously and it seems rude of Google to monopolize one of those spots.

If you are rooted. Delete play music from system. And the .dex file also. If you want that app, install it from play store like a normal app. Install Greenify also. Use Greenify to hibernate play music. In that sense, you can still use play music when you want.

Unfortunately I'm Linux/Android illiterate so I run stock on everything. I see that I perhaps need to become more literate.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 4

Thats the way to do if you want to carry on using play music and want to stop it from running when you dont use it.
