QUOTE(LuffyPSP @ Jul 30 2010, 02:51 PM) guys, if i rooted my phone, and use custom roms, does it mean all 7 homescreens is reset back? i mean according to the ROM la. and if i go back to original rom, all the set up(widgets/programs) are lost? root ur phone = nothing will happen to ur data flash ur phone with custom rom require u to reset to factory settings + wipe data. This is where all ur apps and data will be gone. This is why I prefer to root my phone and manually customize it myself. Unfortunately my skill not good enough...

QUOTE(yolk @ Jul 30 2010, 03:02 PM) if you're changing between the same version ie eclair to eclair or froyo to froyo you can get away with just wiping all the cache .. did it a few times when changing between different custom roms interesting... will keep this in mind... but due to RAM and battery life constraints... i still prefer editing the original files within Android /system...

QUOTE(cleave @ Jul 30 2010, 03:07 PM) That's where Titanium Backup comes in. Just a question as I have yet to try it... What's the diff between Titanium vs Nandroid backup...?

QUOTE(cleave @ Jul 30 2010, 03:16 PM) Generally when you're switching ROMs,here's what you should do:- 1) Nandroid backup (in case we screw up or want to revert) 2) TiB backup 3) Flash new ROM 2) TiB restore Now the ROM will have all your apps and data (and market links). ok... another question: can we do a manual back up by pulling all the files from /system?

QUOTE(akachester @ Jul 30 2010, 04:46 PM) If its official ROM from HTC, then yes. Cause i just updated my Desire with the Stock RUU from XDA developer and it wipes out everything  i don mean flashing from 1 ROM to another ROM... i mean when an update is available from HTC/Google for ur phone... like let's say I'm on android 2.0 and an update of 2.1 is available and my phone automatically download it... after the installation will my data be gone?
