Hi guys,
I am thinking of moving from the stock HTC software on my One to CyanogenMod, and i was wondering a few things:
1. How can i move all my stuff?
2. Will there be any issues installing as currently I am rooted?
3. How hard is it to install?
4. How hard is it to move back to Sense 5
Any help is appreciated!

1) With a full wipe before flashing the rom.
2) No... You must be rooted and unlocked (bootloader) for install it.
3) Easy, if you will read the instruction
4) The same of 3

Yeah, sorry, my fault.
Just copy the sd into your pc.
For contact and sms, do a backup from the app or backup with Google account

So hopefully its as simple as
1. Make titanium backup (without system apps, of course)
2. Flash CyanogenMod
3.Install titanium backup on CyanogenMod
4.Restore

Also with ROM manager you can back up you're current ROM and the later restore it of you do not like CyanogenMod

Also if you use twrp, probably cwm too, a full wipe does not wipe /data/media. Unless of course you format the sdcard.

Hey sam, i am complete newbie and let me tell you, even for me it was super easy. the installation was a breeze.
i had done a full wipe and my contacts were already backed up with Google. So they synced perfectly. i just lost messages. but titanium should do it for you.
go ahead. the CM is really really fast. i am loving phone now. have installed Nova on it and its complete lag-free.
As others said, full wipe Only wipe the system files no file on the SD will be touched. I also suggest do a back up in recovery just in case.

Don't forget to flash the gapps file, or you're gonna have some problems

OK, I think I understand nandroid on a basic level. It backs stuff up. Everything. But I'm confused as to how it works. I have CM 6.1 RC1 on my phone right now. I want to try a Sense based ROM but don't want to lose everything. Especially my apps. If I do a nandroid backup before I install the new ROM will the data be compatible with the new ROM? Will the apps work with all their settings intact? Seems to me a different ROM would have weird little things that are incompatible. Seems to me nandroid is more of a way to revert to your previous ROM in case the new one doesn't work out. Does that sound right?
As I understand it, a nandroid back-up is basically a photo copy of your current rom, apps and settings. If you're using ROM manager go into that and choose the "Back up current ROM" choice and it'll back it up and save it to the SD card. If you install a new ROM you'll do a wipe and everything will be gone and then installed with the new ROM. To get it back to the way it was your have your back-up rom saved on the SD card and you can flash that to get it back to the way it was. Does anyone want to double check me on this since I could be wrong?

That's exactly right. It's a flashable backup of a full ROM. If you want to only backup apps, use titanium backup.

Flashable? So I don't have to install the old ROM first then do the nondroid restore?

A nandroid restore is done through recovery, not the ROM. So you could have a Sense based ROM and nandroid (assuming you have made one and it's on your SD card) to a CM ROM
What you should do is install a ROM, set it up how you like/want it then nandroid right away. You can do that with a few ROMS, test them out, choose your favorite and go with it, always keeping the option to go back to any of them
is it only done through rom manager, or can i get a nandroid backup in cwm recovery?

ROM manager entirely unnecessary
Running CM7RC
Decided to try one of the themes so I did a backup first using ROM Manager.
Didn't like the themes so I tried to restore.
It is coming up without my google account and there is no option to add it in the account settings.
I've wiped and reapplied the backup and also fixed permissions to no avail so far.
I'm finishing a 2nd fix permissions after wiping everything (even Davlik).
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so, what was the fix?
I'd rather get it restored than start over...
Restoring the account settings in Titanium doesn't help either.
I'm screwed, aren't I?
Do you have the Google apps installed (market, etc)?

Yes, happened to me many times when I flashed CM and forgot to flash gapps.
Download gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ and flash from recovery.
Did you use clockworkmod 3.0? It's been known to messed things up during nandroid restore.
Flash GAPPS like other have mentioned.
If not full wipe and start over, use AMon Ra or an older CWM version

Yeah, they were there when I restored the backup but they wouldn't open because there was no google account in the phone. Could flashing gapps fix this?

Yes, it is cwm 3.0
For now I've done a full wipe and started over and after a couple of days of tweaking I'll likely forget the incident. I might try restoring and flashing gapps but I have my doubts as to whether that would work.
I'm going to have to start being more vigilant about backing up apps/settings/data in other ways if a nandroid backup isn't dependable...
Thanks for the comments.
OK, I just flashed RC2 and the account issue popped back up so it isn't necessarily that backup I did before.
Get rid of cwm 3.x and try using a different recovery...

Hey everyone...
ive already tried to get some quick help already but i really need my phone tonight LOL.
iam running cm9 rom with the latest cm9 stable kernal, now i wanted to flash the hydrocore kernal to see if battery would improve, but it seemed fine but then choppy afew hours later so i changed back to cm9 kernal. Anyway after it rebooted it stayed on the paranoid android bootscreen! where you see the picture loading. i then tried to wipe the cache and dalvik and its still stuck. someone mentioned to do a wipe but i was unsure if he meant to a full wipe? as ive not wiped the factory reset, just the two caches! ive also flashed both kernals back and forth and im still stuck.
Its a simple issue iam sure but could someone help me, im unsure if i should do a full wipe including factory reset or just flash the cm9 rom again. if so can i have instructions step by step...
thank you.
islandmixed, you are on a safe kernel so there is no harm in performing a wipe data/factory reset.

A full wipe worked, it rebooted. since iam weiry about restoring my apps again via mybackup pro i might just check all my apps installed from google and install them one by one and then that way i wont have to worry about anything going wrong. i do have a backup from TB and mybackup but someone said it can cause issues when restoring to a cm9 rom!
Thanks for the help. iam back again at the start HEHE.

You know when I wiped data would it have wiped off the gapps? I'm sure I had more rom apps with this....hmmmm

wipe data is totally wiping what's in your phone.. including what's inside the system/apps, build props and framework...
you may need to flash back your g.apps if you want to get all of them and selectively selecting which to install back(rather than just restoring it from TB)
TB does not restore all what you have made a backup to.

Okay then I guess the factory reset only deleted user apps then. I was told it deletes system apps which is why I thought it deleted gapps.

I have most of the apps organized under folders, not on the main screen but in the app drawer. Is there a way to backup these folders before flashing a new rom?

are you swapping over to a completely different rom or just updating an existing rom? if your just updating i'd say just flash over wipe your caches and it should load normally and same like before.
if your moving roms then your probably going to have to re set things up.

basically when you flash to another firmware you should do a full wipe.. doing so the user data is lost, meaning that I have to restore apps and settings. For settings is not a problem 'cause I can backup (almost everything) using htc backup but recreating folders is a pain in the neck...
I've always used Nova Launcher, and it backs up everything on your launcher. Just....
1. Backup Nova
2. Flash new rom
3. Let Google restore all your apps
4. Make sure they're all there!
5. Restore Nova!!!
What do you mean another firmware? As in upgrading the base? Then you can flash over or also if your updating from say arhd 7.3 to 8.0 you should be fine flash over existing

How to do it? Knowing that my HTC one is unlocked international version, rooted and s-off.

no bugs, if you've backed up everything (system & data) using twrp, then it will restore all your ROM+apps+data+settings.
EDIT: better wipe dalvik and cache, before rebooting
