Sync your contacts with your Gmail account, and is there really any point in keeping all your old SMS messages?

Delete all contacts / message to all contacts

Hello people, I use the CM7.2 v11 (Xperia x8) and would like to know is there any mod that adds the option to send a message to all contacts at once, and also how to delete all contacts at once, because these options do not exist in CM 7.2 v11 and almost no custom rom, I hope you understand me, sorry for bad english
I too want it.. The Joy OS has it then why not cyanogen mod...?? none of the CM ROMs have a convenient messaging app and I have to download Go SMS Pro..!!! Thats too annoying...
The most simple way to delete all contacts:
Settings/apps/manage apps/all/contacts/clear data
& also there are some apps in store to do this
Is it important how did i send this?
There is the possibility to extract the application message (Joy OS) and use the CM 7?

[Q] Widgets, why can't the be restored?

Hello peoples,
[hope i am in the right section now?]
I love android but hate having to restore widgets over and over again (i flash a lot of different kernels and roms). Up till now i have never found a way to backup and restore the widgets in there former glory (location/size/settings). I use Titanium backup/restore but i found that only a nandroid restore really restores everything (and that is not something i can use when trying out new kernels and roms)
Am i missing something? (an app for instance that will really save position and settings of a widget? Or is it just a know shortcoming in android? I have used almost every launcher around but none of them restore widget (position/size/setting)
Can someone link me to some wisdom?
ps: i understa...alvik VM that hosts the widget position/size?
66 views so far but no response...? Anybody?
Cause no one knows even me but I believe if you copy launcher data using tb and restore it although I didn't try but let me guess that it works

I think this because of the launcher. If you use Apex for example and you make a backup via the app all the settings will be saved on to SD card. If you want to use another launcher with the same widgets you'll need to replace them since the data cant be restored from apex etc. Some apps can import settings from others but this will be said by the app it self.
Like i said, it depens on the launcher. Perhaps to ask one of the developers of the launcher for more information.

Good advice. So i guess i have been obstructing myself by changing launchers on weekly bases. :laugh:
where is the lockscreen file of a rom?and whats its name?
and the wallpapers of the rom?

[Q] how do i backup and restore widgets on touchwiz

hi
been searching for this and didnt find
tried mybackup pro, titanium, never found a way to restore just the widgets
im on LSZ rom 4.1.2
any way to do it ???
thx
Widgets depends upon your launcher. You need to backup your launcher using TB. But you can't restore the TW launcher app as it is system app but try restoring just the data from TB.
Better, use third party Launcher from market set your home screen widgets and backup using TB and when trying other ROMs just restore app and data.

i tried with titanium backup, it restores all the icons, but never the widgets
and i kindda like TW so using it, not other launchers
ok got it ....
ok well, been reading here and there and found that NOVA launcher is quite good and still uses the TW features like the S pen and Air View
and can backup and restore the android screens and widgets, so its a good solution
just upgraded to JON 7 rom and got back everything like it was
thx

You went from touchwiz to AOSP, therefor, can't get the same apps. You can always look for another memo app on the Play store.

Are my Memo & Calendar backups useless, or might they restore to a new app?

They might restore, you'll have to search though if there's a way to do it.
