Apps that are save to remove - Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps

Just wanted to share this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634624
Imo the apps which are safe to delete on "the big brother" should be ok for the mini too
Or am I wrong?
Well just have to say I'm a newbie, can someone tell me how to delete the files/apps correctly?
I might use Titanium Backup (do i need the pro version?)
Hopefully this is helpfull for someone
greetings, Rob

Titanium BackUp. If you are root, of course.

How to add dropbear again on MoDaCo's?

Hi guys,
Can anyone explain or point me to a thread.
I was messing around the other day and removed dropbear from the modaco rom I'm running (for totally no reason I must say).
But now I'm a bit more experienced with ssh so I'd like to install it again.
I've been running this rom for quite a while now and I'm to lazy to flash and install all those apps again
I think it shouldn't be that hard to reinstall it somehow right?
Hope someone can help
Thanks
DaanJoraan
P.S. I have adb set up on my linux netbook
Anyone?
Maybe someone just has an .apk file for me?
thanks in advance
Just re-flash the same ROM update.zip once more. Your apps and stuff should all still be there. I recommend using Titanium backup once in a while to backup all your apps, then it's easy to restore all or single app in such events.

It's as easy as that
No way I feel stupid, ofcourse when I don't do a wipe all data just gets overwritten right
Thanks guys!

[Q] Removed unwanted apps, Now What??

Hello and happy holidays to everyone.
I am running VaelPak 3.0 and have removed some unwanted apps that I don't use/need.
If I flash an updated version of the ROM, I will get all these apps back. My question is, is there a way I can save my phone's image as it is now so that I do not have to remove those apps manually again the next time?
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
cant you just backup your nand??
or use titanium backup..

I do nand backups, but haven't restored them yet.
Won't it just put the old apps (backed up apps) back in place and not delete the new apps that the updated ROM added?
Thanks,
i removed all the app i didnt want with titanium back up THEN did a nand backup and it restored from the point i was (without the things i wanted) so i guess you can do that..
just take the nand backup you already have and save that backup on your comp in case something ever happens..
then do another one with the corrections and updates you did and that the one without all the bulk..
thats what i did..

I will try that and update the post on how it works out.
Thanks.
They will come back forget doing nands or titanium that's the hard way. Just get an app that allows you to remove apps from your phone. I use this simple app called root manager its easy as pie and I just remove what I don't want again. Titanium can also do this I think but its not user friendly for me lol

yea titanium confused me at first too.. a little to complicated and still is..
i was just saying if u wanted to do the nand backup of your new and improved system its easier..
and since we on the topic of backups and removal..
any apps that can backup ALL apps and data and restore them because im about to unroot to root using Toast method so i have nand unlocked..
while I haven't tried this...so try at your own risk. In the .zip file, clean out everything you don't want and leave only the stuff you want new, or updated. That SHOULD keep them from installing to the phone when flashing. once those are gone, just flash like normal.

Isn't the file signed? I will have to sign it again, right?
I think I will just write a script and run it after flashing a new ROM every time.
Thanks,
I don't know if it would remove the signature or not...worth a try. Let me look real quick. there's already a tool out for signing files...at least it would save you some key strokes.

[Q] Will flashing a new ROM wipe my external micro sd card?

Hey guys, I was thinking about flashing a new ROM via CWM and I've been looking at alot of videos and tutorials online, and they all say, that when you install the new ROM you must "factory data reset" your phone from CWM. So my question is, what will that erase? Will it erase anything on my SD Card? And what programs should I use to backup my stuff, in case it does get deleted?

when you do a factory reset it will wipe internal storage not external(sd card). if you want to backup your apps etc. use either titanium backup or rom toolbox to do so.

once you back up your stuff. install titanium back or rom toolbox (whichever you used) from play store and select the restore option.
Edit- read this link for more detailed instructions..google is your best friend if you are not sure about something

one last advice before you flash read ALL the instruction 2-3 times and ONLY flash when you understand them completely. follow that advice and hopefully you will never brick or harm your phone. good luck

Titanium backup only does your apps and app data......I recommend Easy Backup cuz that will get your SMS, MMS, Contacts, Calender, call log and even your apps

For photos, i recommend using G-Photos Sync feature. for apps, titanium backup, for contacts (the best you can do is export them to a vcf file transfer it to your pc then import from vcf file)
(For music i contain all the sound files on the ext-sd since factory reset doesn't touch ext-sd).
But if you have lost any of your important files, your best chance of getting them back is using hiren's boot on your pc with the undeleter tools.

[Q] Downgrade Jellybean to ICS with Titanium Backup?

Hi everyone!
I currently have the Jellybean build that was leaked for the Bell SGH-I747m a couple weeks ago, and am noticing a lot of bugs and problems that were not in ICS.
Would it be possible to do a titanium backup now on the phone (I am rooted) and then flash with odin ICS stock, then re-root, then restore the titanium backup, all without losing any apps or games and their saves?
I know upgrading with TitBak is no problem but I am really not sure about downgrading.
Thanks in advance!

to be safe I recommend to flash an interesting ics rom and keep your root or get a cm10 mod

Thanks for your quick reply,
So would that mean that I lose all settings and configurations I made to the device? Or will I keep some of the settings like ringtones and default apps, etc....? And would I just click backup all user apps instead of backup all userapps+sys data?

Make sure you are rooted or TB won't work.
Yes you will lose all settings, but they aren't too hard to set back up.
Edit: Yes to the last question also. Backup all user apps. No sys data.

Ok did the Odin flash, but it said RESET instead of PASS, and now its stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen that glows brighter and softer... Going to try re-downloading stock ROM. Hope this works!
Turns out that the only problem was that I had to go into recovery after the Odin finished flashing, then reset cache and restore to factory.
Then it worked!
Thanks!

1. After rooting my phone I will be able to update my system?
2. With custom ROM all my applications will be up to date? I mean I will be able to download updates from Google Play?
3. What is the best way to root my Note 2? I have read about Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit or Odin way. Could you please explain me diffrence between those? Which should I use? Is there any thin else I need to install before go with ROM?
4. Do you know good tutorial how to install CleanROM?
5. Should I remove my sim card doing all those things?
6. What about my data? All will be erased?
7. How can I do any back up of my settings and apps?
Please help me to understand it .

1. Yes, but I don't know how. Google it
2. Rom developer will explain which latest version you'll get. Just go to xda rom page.for the second question, Yes, u can update with play store.
3. Personally, I rooted my phone with methods from galaxynote2root.com, it work fine for me. It used Odin.
4. Just go to rom page in xda , all will be there!
5. As far as I know, it's no problem. But u worried? Remove it, it won't take you more than 5 sec.
6. Your data? Copy everything from internal SD card to your computer. Some rom need to clear your internal SD to flash a pure rom.
7. Use titanium backup. Make sure you backup into external SD. After flashing your new rom, just install titanium backup and locate your backup from external SD.
8. Have fun!! But beware! Just wanna remind u.. be sure to backup your stock rom + EFS backup before flashing your clean rom.. There are so many efs and imei lost and got mess up (Twrp recovery can backup both rom and efs.) in case something went wrong, just restore it..

One more question. You wrote to use titanium backup. So when I will perform this I will be able restore all apps and settings on ROM?
I understand that first I need to root my phone before using titanium backup right? Rooting can delete some data?

Just flash Twrp recovery from here ..
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
For me, I first flashed "cwm recovery" from galaxynote2root.com, just Google it... and then using cwm recovery, I flashed Twrp recovery.. Zip mode from above link
To know you had installed Twrp,power off your phone .. Then press volume up + home + power button together to get into recovery mode.. Then backup your stock rom and efs to external SD.. There are also so many tutorial about Twrp recovery on YouTube.. So it won't matter for u.

Efs is generally the same as imei.. If u lose imei, you can't make call etc...
Titanium backup can restore all user apps.. Don't worry, even your playing game level!

Last question is yes, you need to have root to use titanium.. As far as I know rooting won't delete your data.. But I I'm not sure about that.. If u worried, have a search in this forum..there are so many people to help you

Rooting will definitely NOT delete any data. Just make sure you use pretty clean PC because of the drivers, that is most important thing and install correct drivers. Then use Odin to root. It is really simple. Then you can make EFS (IMEI) backup, just search the forum there is a topic.
