Hi all,
I'm looking for a application that can make a selective backup so that all my settings can be restored after ROM updates..(doing that few times a week...lol)
- Email settings
- Opera / IE favorites
- My Documents
- Shortcuts
- Sms
- User info
- .....
Automatically installing some applications (cab's) will also be fine.

Can you please confirm that if after a ROM update the backup is restored, the system will remain stable?
Doesnt core system files get updated?
I have the original Sprite-Backup software downloaded from HTC-club.
I saw also few post talking about restore after ROM upgrade.
Can this be confirmed please..
BUMP
Could we get some confirmation please?

I've been using my NC for a cuople of months - and really like it - I'm gonna try and get Netflix on the device this weekend - so loaded a fresh ROM onto clean SD card for experimentation.
Gone through the Google Market setup screen - always asks if I want to keep device backed up with my google account as an option.
I've loaded new ROM's with either option selected - and would like to know what are the advantages ( pros / cons )
* Keep device backed up with my Google Account - vs - not
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2 Then --- there's an IMPORTANT : READ THIS message re: this program is used to search for applications on the market. Click OK - or Cancel
* What programs is Google looking for here. Again - I've tried it both ways selecting OK - and Cancel - and haven't quite figured out the pros / cons of either selection? It lists a bunch of generic Google / facebook / Gmail accounts to select. Is the recommended to just press " OK " each time - and choose the apps you want installed?
-----------------------------------------
Then Backup and Restore options with 2 options??
* Restore from my Google Account to this device
* Keep this device backed up with my Google Account
Not sure what info it's backing up and restoring - Apps / Data / Everything. Does this replace Titanium backup - I don't know info about the details of each choice to make an informed decision of whether or not I should just choose the default selected options - or uncheck them during Install.
Thanks
Hi,
I recently went from stock rooted GB to ICS Stunner 1.4.19. Lots of things I liked, but I was used to certain functionalities from touch wizz, anyway here are my questions :
1 - I guess the keyboard with free hand writing recognition is a part of TW ? I was actually using that, any way I can retrieve such a functionality in ICS Stunner ?
2 - the backlight buttons always on or off is annoying, I read about it on the main ICS Stunner thread, I don't know if there's a satisfying solution to this ?
3 - FM radio not working, there's not workaround solution I guess ?
4 - I had a big battery draining problems, again didn't see any solution to this.
Then I tried ALBA because I was not sure I wanted to get rid of TW, and from this small experience of tryings different ROMS, the most annoying thing is to retrieve datas / configurations. I used titanium backup, but here are problems I encountered :
- I thought Google stored some configurations like my Wifi network key, but it doesn't or it didn't set it automatically.
- I realized (yea I'm newbie) some of my datas were on my Google account and some on my Samsung account (or locally on my phone ?). For example, I have some events on my S Calendar that are associated to my Samsung account, some to the Google one. My contacts are all on my Samsung account, because my google contacts has too many people (why does Google add so much people automatically to contacts I wonder). This makes it hard to retrieve all datas, on ALBAs for example I didn't find how I could retrieve my S Calendar / Samsung account datas.
- I used TB to restore only a few apps, with not much success : Kindle had lost it's settings, I had to reenter my account informations, download dictionaries again, etc. Opera mobile crashed when restored, so I downloaded, reentered link account informations. And I can't use TB to restore system stuff (because of different ROMS or different kernels, it's not clear to me).
So my question to all the ROM switcher that wipe their phone ten times a day, what is your best solution to : retrieve wifi configuration, APN configuration, contacts, sms, calendar stuff, etc ?

to 1: There is no easy way to get any Samsung stuff (like TW) running on an AOSP/AOKP ROM. Requires hacking with libraries and the like.
to 4: Try wipe all and reflash ROM again. If that does not help, wipe all again reflash chainfire-repack (I use always Mobile Odin for that), reflash ROM
to you last question: Backup everything ( user apps + system data) and copy it to your PC just in case (I do it with scp from my linux shell and SSHDroid on the Note). Don't restore plain all saved data, but you can restore selected system data (like wifi configuration, contacts ...).
That works fine for me, even when my contacts are saved on google and migrate back from there. You have to find the right items in Titanium for just contact data and such, but mostly on my Note they are colored green and called "Konten", "Kontakte/Anrufe" - but that's a german note. Restore only the data for these system items!

Thanks for answering frabe8378910 !
Too bad for the few S-apps I would have used. Also I'm not sure but I think different pressure for the pen is not supported in ICS stunner.
As for 4, I think I found the cause : there's a "multimedia" process showing in my battery stats , and I guess it runs especially when screen is off because sometimes I would loose several % of battery life when the GN was in sleep note for only a few minutes ! Well, I killed the process and battery consumption seems normal now.
Thanks a lot for the tip for saving contacts, I downloaded sshdroid, I'm on windows but I will use putty, though I'm not sure how it will handle permissions for the files when copied from GN to Windows and back to GN. Maybe I should stick to Titanium...You achieve saving all your datas through "manual" scp copy, or you also use an app like Titanium ?

I use "Note Everything Pro" for drawings and such with the S-Pen. This works fine for some measure drawings before you drive to a "baumarkt" (google tell me it's an english word too ;-) to buy building materials and furniture.
Yes, I save ALL user apps + system data with Titanium and the copy the whole directory (see below) to my PC.
Concerning the permissions for the Titanium files:
- login via putty to your note
- "cd" to the base directory of Titanium backup folder
on my note Titanium would save to: /mnt/emmc/BACKUP/Titanium, so "cd /mnt/emmc/BACKUP"
- do a "tar cvf Titanium.tar Titanium" which will pack the whole Titanium directory with all files and owner/group/permissions to ONE tar-file.
- copy this file via scp (putty) to you PC. Done!
If you need to restore the Titanium file on the Note
- copy the file back to the right directory
- "cp" to it
- do "tar xvf Titanium.tar"
- and the directory Titanium with all files and permissions is ready to use!
I'm a bit familiar with unix/linux, should have thought about tar !
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks.
well, update verizon is somehow forced by carrier. So just check the forums if it has hit, if it has and doesnt come automagically for you then just update the via return to stockrom way no other option really.

Crud. Not there. Thanks for the help.
Would anyone know if I can get this installed without having to restore a factory firmware?
Thanks

Wipe back to stock and start over.
I would assume while you were "freezing" apps in tibu, you probably deleted the update apk, so even if you do a factory reset it will still be missing. Either you need to do an entire image restore to get it back, or find someone to upload the .apk for you.
Hello all,
I am using my device (MI A2) as my daily driver, I love flashing ROMs, trying new ROMs & mods, etc.
But recently I joined a company that requires me to connect to their network through VPN & for authenticating we are required to enter a code from an MFA app (FortiToken) kind of like Google Authenticator & Microsoft Authenticator.
Now every time I flash a ROM I will have to ask my IT Support for pairing code. Is there a way I can take a backup of FortiToken & Microsoft Authenticator.
Thanks
You can create adb backups of app data (helium app sync and backup), or use titanium backup (root required)
