What's going on with this backup? Many of my apps from my other Android devices (HTC EVO 4G, ASUS Transformer 101, Kindle Fire) automatically installed when I logged into my Google account. I've also uploaded ~350 JPG's. But where did all of these 'Other Misc. Content' 7778 items come from? The backup via USB has dragged on for over an hour now with 2500 items to go. Kies provided no warning of the time the backup might require, gives no indication of how much longer it's going to take, and just cautions me not to disconnect my phone.
This is why I don't backup or restore with Kies. It takes forever and you get all kinds of stuff you probably don't want. I don't check the box to have Google back up my phone when I flash a new Rom either. I like to install everything fresh, especially with a new phone.

I understand...Kies backup sucks. I've since rooted the Sprint Galaxy S3 and am using Titanium Pro. Thanks for the reply.
You bet. Can't go wrong with Titanium Backup. I have system apps backed up from a couple dozen leaked ICS roms on my E4GT. If I flash a new Rom and something is missing that I want such as the ICS Calendar, I can restore it with TB.

do you have a copy of the asop clock anywhere? I can't figure out how to set the default alarm sound in the touchwiz one....
Sent from my SPH-L710
Not sure what clock you are talking about but I have a desk clock that's pretty cool. Are you familiar with the 7zip application for Windows? I think their is a Mac version, too and you can download it free. You can use it to extract apks from roms and then either add them to another Rom before you flash it or copy it to your pc then move to your phone. If you want an app from a Rom, download the Rom. Open 7zip and on the left corner of the app navigate to the Rom. Once the Rom is open, click on system>app and you'll see all the apps in the Rom. (There's a few in Data>app too.) Right click the apk you want and select copy, paste it somewhere on your computer, then add it to your phone. If you want to add an app to a Rom, open system app with 7 zip and drag and drop the apks you want into the folder. Exit 7zip by clicking the up button in the upper left of the program. I'll pm you the desk clock. If you install it, you'll get a clock widget that looks like this

Hello all i wanted a custom launcher like adw to become my default launcher, not just a regular app that over wrights my stock launcher, i wanted htc launcher gone and i didnt like the looks of it so i came up with this tutorial, this is a tutorial of how to completely remove the stock htc launcher and install adw launcher (like cm7) or your favorite launcher to become apart of your rom.I am not liable if you brick your device, thats why #1 is backup in nandroid, just in case you do not like this or want to go back to stock in the future, if you need help please reply and ill help you out. I tested this on my htc wildfire s stock rom, it will only work if your using stock sense rom. I DID NOT MAKE THIS ZIP, THIS ZIP BELONGS TO Calkulin HERE ON XDA,THANK HIM FOR MAKING THE ZIP, ALL I MADE IS THIS TUTORIAL AND HOW TO INSTALL A NEW DEFAULT LAUNCHER
*why to change?*
*removing stock launcher gives you a little more internal space
*installing adw or go launcher runs faster, smoother and can be customized unlike the stock htc launcher
*for those that have found a rom that performs great and just want to get rid of the htc launcher
*Downfall to changing*
*you can no longer use htc widgets, skins.
*Tutorial*
1.Make a nandroid backup
2.download your favorite launcher to your sd card from a computer, do not install it! the reason not to install it is because we want it to become a system apk not a regular app
3.push launcher apk into system/app
4.install apk inside system/app
5.press home, it will ask you to make default launcher click "yes"
6.download the zip attached below
7.place zip inside sd card
4.turn off device
5.open cwm
6.under advanced-wipe dalivk cache
7.install zip from sd card-Calkulin's_Remove_Sense.zip
8.reboot
9.now your phone is running your new launcher, everything will work normal
*click thanks if you like!*
*Also*
*if you do a factory reset in settings (not a hard reset) the launcher will still be installed, thats why you have to move the launcher.apk inside system/settings now its apart of your rom

Can it be done in any other way, lets say you put adw launcher in system/app or any other directory (lets say you want to change launcher in any of roms), then just using titanium backup, uninstalling htc ui, or any other launcher u wish to be replaced, and save yourself from rebooting and using this zip file that you attached ?
So basically just replacing this recovery installation step, with titanium uninstallation of laucher that is preinstalled...
second thing, will this work on other roms, and will the thing i wrote just work on ANY rom ?
Yes that's a good point lol try it and see, not sure... we would need somone to test it out
Sent from my HTC_A510c using XDA App
yea, someone that would test it would be great, since i dont have so much time because i have my exam in few days, if we dont get someone to test it in that time, i will ... but i think that my solution will work ...
on cm im 99% sure ... though on cm its not system/apps i think its some other directory
about sense, well we will see
anyway, clicked thanks for nice tut ... it's simple
Lol ok thanks now I have to see what other people think, hope they will like it

Hey there buddies, good day to all!
I'm having a problem with Hybrid ROM v2.1, although it is super fast & neat with enormous 80MB System ROM free storage ,
there are some sytem applications that has been removed like Simcard Tool Kit & Kies.apk, etc..
Now, i'm having trouble connecting to Samsung Kies in PC although it's not really important since i cannot update my custom ROM thru Kies, i just want to restore my contacts there.. lol
My other problem is the annoying pop up dialog box that says "Your balance is not enough to send a text. You only have 0 that will expire on etc.. etc.." that appears everytime i reboot my phone..
So i was thinking if the removed Simcard Tool kit.apk from Hybrid ROM causes the annoying dialog box..
So i tried to copy the stk.apk from my backup stock ROM & went to root explorer, mount as R/W, paste it to sytem/app & change the permission to rw--r--r-- and restarted it, but nothing happens. the annoying pop up is still there & simcard tool kit.apk stills seems not working & doesn't appear in apps drawer..
& Lastly, i'm using Creed's 14toggles bar & it's working fine in Hybrid ROM but i noticed that after i flashed it, everytime i connect to PC via USB, the icon in disconnect & connect USB was messed up..
Will be glad if somebody can help me.. thanks!!!!!
I am also using hybrid rom 2.1 but I am not having any problems and if you want to backup contact then there are a lot of applications in the market you can try them

Thanks bro. You mean edit it "by hand"? What if I put back the framework-res.apk that came with Hybrid? Will that work? Which specific file do I need to edit anyway?
At the moment I restored a backup I made before flashing Creed's status bar so I guess I'll be editing the framework-res.apk there, right?

Same problem?
For sim toolkit try this:

As for the contacts, I prefer exporting it to SD and then restoring after flashing a new rom. Faster than Kies.
Can anyone tell me the file to look for in Titanium Backup to restore all
my screen layouts/widgets/apps? It was easy to find on my old Evo, think
it was called Desktop or something. I see nothing that looks like that in
my Titanium backup of Cyanogenmod?

are you referring to a batch restore of system files and apps as well as app data?
If this is the case open Titanium Backup:
Click the Check-mark at top right,
go to restore missing apps + system Data and click run.
Check off all the apps and system files you want to restore or just restore all and click the top right corner again and wait!
(I would suggest that you only restore system data from previous version of same ROM)
No, I just want to know the name of the file to restore that saves
my 5 screens layouts. The file that restores all your desktop widgets and
apps so you don't have to move every single one, one by one. All my apps
are restored, but all of the screens are blank-no shortcuts for apps there at all.

If you're using a custom launcher, it will just be the name of that launcher (e.g. Nova, Apex, etc). If not, the default one built into CM10 (or CM9, for that matter) is called Trebuchet (version 0.2 as of the 8/15 build). Make sure to do app+data, and then when you restore later restore app+data as well (and as a system app, so widgets work properly).

Do you happen to know how to get the screen to show it is charging and the light show charging.
There is no way to know when you are charged, in CM10 8/15

Yeah, I don't believe CM10 can do that yet. It can do LED notifications for everything else, in a very customized way (System Settings > Display > Notification Light), but that won't do charging or fully charged stuff from what I see.
I have not used it much myself, but a lot of people swear by Light Flow LED Control (free version market link), it can handle most any customization you want, including charging-related ones. They recently updated for the GS3 from what it looks like, too.

Any luck with that yet? I am in a similar situation. I flashed CM10 but miss the stock alarm clock. I am currently using Alarm Clock Xtreme from the play market which is the closest I have found so far.
Trying...
I am new to this so I have been trying to teach myself as I go. This is what I have done so far:
1) I managed to get the .apk and .odex from stock.
2) Copied them to the system/media folder
3) Matched the permissions on them both in ES File explorer.
4) Moved them to system/app
4) Restart device
This is still not working and will not install. I feel like I am either missing a crucial step (most likely) or it is not compatible.

If it's a Samsung touchwiz app it won't work for aosp roms, without some modification to the app itself, it's not compatible.
I recently disabled this service on my stock JB device. I took a look at the OS logcat file and was concerned seeing approx 100 errors every few seconds. Attached is a sample, which repeated along with lots of other mystery errors. Anyone know what it means? There were no signs of trouble using the phone, but seemed excessive. I had tried the widget once a few weeks ago, then removed it. No alarms were set. Am I over reacting? What does it mean?
Sorry for the html tags. Also attached link to full log file if anyone has any insight into this or the other errors constantly thrown. Is this normal?
Thanks!

This looks like it requires some hardcore reprogramming which unfortunately is beyond my capabilities at the moment. I am self teaching myself this stuff as I go and have minimal programming experience right now. Coming from TW to an ASOP rom can be tricky from what I have been reading.
Hey guys hope I'm posting this in the right place but i am officially in the dog house..
So few yrs back i owned a gs3 and to date my favorite phone of all time..long story short, i now own a gs5 and love it as well.but my wife cam to me about 3 days ago says hunny can u do that kool thing u had done on ur phone where u could customize almost anything to ur liking?..i said sure no prob..so i used tatanium backup backed up everything including data (i know mistake #1)..flashed a nice rom for her she actualy was loving it.until of course she realized all her contacts were gone..and i said no babe just log in to ur google account and all your contacts will be back (nope.0, nada, zip, siltch zero, nothing...so i said no worries i still have everything backed up with titanium back up let me just do this and...nothing but core errors and heart ache..now I'm assuming that since i installed a 4.4.4 rom feom a 4.2 that there is my problem...now my question is.do any of u fine ppl know how can i get theae conyacta out of here maybe on a pc or something?..and no i can't go back to my original rom becauae im a moran and deleted it!! ;( ..guys pls help me i miss my bed.
Hasn't she been saving the contacts on Google and not just the phone?
If your TB backup of contacts and data is corrupted and she has not stored them on google then you are out of luck. But if they were on google she can see them on a computer by logging into her google account. My guess is they are not syncing...so make sure contacts is checked under google accounts sync. Then they should appear. Also if she synced Facebook contacts, that account needs to be added and synced.
Thnx for the reply kennyg..but no she thought she had all her contacts saved on there but no theres nothing there..the contact and data are not currupted its just they run on diffrent .core...somebody has to know a way.pls.

Please forgive me if this is the way you were restoring it, but this is the way I do it every time and it works no matter what version of Android I am going to or from.
Open Titanium Backup tap menu button then batch actions, tap "run" next to 'Restore all apps with data', popup windows asks if you want to restore "Snapshot" "let me choose myself" or XML. Pick XML.

tap "deselect all" and select radio button "data only" go down to "Messages (SMS&MMS)" with the TB icon, select it and tap green check mark at the top, should do it for you.
