I'm just getting the hang of flashing ROMs and want to try CM7.
I'm on UnNamed now so I'm assuming all I have to do is:
1. go into CWM and complete a backup (done today)
2. go into CWM and do a wipe/factory reset
3. flash the CM7 and google apps from CWM
4. restore from the backup to get all my apps/settings back
Thanks for the support.
Of you do APPS AND DATA only without touching thru system data then yes.

Not sure what you mean by "apps and data" only. I just clicked backup in CWM and figured this back up everything. Are the steps I listed above incorrect?
When you select 'backup' in CWM it creates an entire copy of your system- your ROM, kernel,
Modem, and your Apps and settings. You got the right idea of how to go from ROM to ROM but if you hit restore in recovery you'll just end up flashing back to CM7. nyamoV2 was referring to titanium backup which is used for backing up Apps and settings. I don't use it but from what I gather you never want to restore system data with it. But can be used to back up Apps. Although upon signing into Google market your Apps start downloading again anyway. Its good to make backups in recovery in case something goes wrong flashing a new ROM or theme or whatever.

How do I backup all apps and setting in TB? Only see how to do them one at a time
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
You gotta get the pro version.. It lets you run a batch of ALL your apps instead of doing it 1 by 1

Play around with the settings. CM SETTINGS> Notification power widget> widget buttons.
..I think . I'm actually running UnNamed right now so I forget exactly where the setting is.

God I keep hitting the wrong button
Anyway, that's odd. I'm usually running CM7 as my daily driver and never had any data speed issues. Some users have changed their APN's and that seems to help. I did at one point but reverted back. Oh well

I always do a backup with nandroid if I'm looking to save the rom I'm currently running. Then after that I do a wipe/factory reset then also a format /system. Then install the new rom. Always has worked perfectly.
CM7
is this rom better then unnamed of MiUI?

So you should Odin and start clean, make sure to repartition using the pit file. This is part of running a work-in-progress Rom.
I ended up cleaning out the cache partition and it seems to have helped a great deal. I'll make sure to do a clean install later this week with one of the nightly builds, though, thanks for the advice.
If you get more force closes than a chain of Circuit City stores again, try running "fix permissions" from clockwork recovery advanced menu...

Did you restore apps using Titanium Backup? All of my gapps force closed when I restored them from TiBu.

Oh, yes, I did do that. That might be the problem.
Is there any 2.3.x roms that will not start FCing like its their job after restoring thru TB? I've been using redux and just put a hole in my wall. I refuse to lose my apps and data.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I've had zero problem restoring my apps on 2.3, just don't restore any system data/apps and you should be fine.
Every single time I wait almost a full battery cycle to let everything settle in, then I only restore the crossed out apps that are strictly not system. Now I can't use my browser for more than 1 min. Facebook ****s out as soon as data starts pushing thru my phone. Xda seems fine. But still, the same damn problems. I have an older PM from Roman himself with his step by step method that I use everytime I flash anything cm7 based and this continues to happen. I'm about to blame it on my phones hardware and break this piece of **** in 2.

DONT RESTORE DATA! I DONT CARE IF IT IS NOT A SYSTEM APP! DO NOT RESTORE DATA!
TRY RESTORING APP ONLY. I BET MY 2 CENTS, NO FC's.
-Do a data/factory reset in recovery
-reboot
-RESTORE APPS ONLY
Lol. I literally would install 5 apps + data with 1 min intervals between each, then reboot and repeat. Took forever but everything is working A.O.K. I skipped swype though. I'm afraid of that *****. Yea I'm not clicking ur link there buddy, I know better. Never feed a troll.

I just went from System V to Trigger Redux (build 17). TB was not able to restore my WIFI access points or my bluetooth connections. I still have not figured out why.
BC they are linked to froyo and the "data" is not gingerbread compatable.

So I just installed bamf forever 1.0.4 and the new lock screens that have the 4 shortcut icons at the bottom aren't appearing. So basically the lock screen just has the time and nothing else.. sorry if this isn't specific enough. Thanks for any help in advance!

Ya I tried that it still didn't change anything. It used to work, I'm not sure what I could have done to mess it up
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Hmm... By "mess it up" I will assume that means you didn't mod your rom or do any 'experimenting' either. If so, I got nuthin. Other than post this on the thread for your custom rom dev and see if they can help you there. Other than that, I'd say revert to your last back up you made of your phone.
However, if you DO come up with a solution, post it here. I'd like to know! Good luck!

If you use Titanium Backup you should be able to save all apps to reload after your wipe. Haven't used it yet myself, but I have seen many posts on this site saying to use this app for just that purpose...

Little ashamed to admit it hut I have never actually backed up any phone I have owned. Atrix, vivid, s2 but I want to do right by this phone and downloaded titu. And online nandroid. From this point on I am a little lost as to how to back up my files. I am rooted but still haven't unlocked the bootloader the reason is I want to install the camera mod and have a backup incase anything goes wrong. When I downloaded online nandroid I could not get it to update and would not let me back up my phone do I need to be unlocked as well? Also is this any different from using titanium backup and or which one is better than the other

Well I got nandroid to update seems I didn't let busybox Install completely but still is this a better back up than Titu provides?

Nandroid backs up your current ROM configuration. So, however you have it set up, all apps, settings, etc, it remembers and will restore you to that same "image". TiBu is more for backing up and restoring apps, en masse. It also allows you to restore text messages, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings and a few other things. It gives you the ability to uninstall system apps with root or freeze them if you choose which its often safer until you figure out whether or not remove a system app will negatively affect stability. Hope this helps.

That's normal if you didn't create it, it doesn't mean your phone melted or anything. Proceed as normal.

But its not saving a back up for when I want to go back to my original Rom!. I even tried to go to restore or flash Rom from sd and there nothing there. If its normal were is my backup saved at for when I want to go back to what my phone has now before I flashed a new Rom?
