lately back into the habit of flashing roms. gosh, it is indeed addictive.
but i wana ask in detail about titanium backup. i usually just backup everything. system + apps. usually when i restore nothing bad happens.
but my last TB restore when trying MIUI ics. the phone totally gone crazy.
keep hang, lots of unknown pop up of fc, totally unusable after restore with TB. so i wipe and flash again, everything ok, but after TB restore, it gone crazy again.
is it because TB backup some touch widz stuff? (brought forward from my stock GB days) since MIUI has no touch wiz, i think thats why it keep hang and got problem.
the next rom i wana try is the hydrogenics one, its the stock ics with no TW also, i worry i might screw up. but if i dont backup system, i will loose my wifi settings etc, so how to solve this?
Added on April 3, 2012, 8:46 pmoh ya, want to ask also. my gf is still on GB, i want to upgrade for her. she is using go launcher which she spend a hell lots of time customizing it into very pinkish and girly looking.
since go launcher is an app, back it up with TB, then restore after changing rom, will the home screens be reset to empty? or it will remain everything as it was?
if it will be reset, i better not touch her phone. if not i will be murdered. so...go launcher users, after change rom and restore with TB, what will happen?

When you are trying to type something, in the text field, you long press on the text field, do you get a menu pop up which allows you to select Input Method to change to other keyboards?
Last time on GB, I can do that.
Currently on Turkbey ICS V3, I can't do that.
Can you do that on your ICS ROM ?
I wonder is it Turkbey or all ICS Roms are the same?
Thanks.
if you observe, evertime you are on text input field, a keyboard icon appear at notification bar. scroll down notification bar to change input method. all ics rom are the same. its a ics thing.
one of the big reason i finally give in to using ics is the browser.
now that i am on ics, i cant believe i finally install back dolphin browser.
unbelievable, but heres the reason.
stock ics browser. nice and fast, but the prob is, too "slippery", scroll abit and the page move so much. also, cant switch tabs and access bookmarks unless you scroll to top of page. so not user friendly.
chrome, super nice and great ui. but no flash, and worst of all no desktop user agent.
finally tried back dolphin, and boy its just the way i like it. (too bad dont have bookmarks sync with pc chrome)
non of them are perfect, but dolphin suits me best for now. hope chrome will have desktop UA soon.
if wana upload pic, just use fb app upload lo. the main purpose of instagram is to edit and "beautify" the picture only?

You don't like Opera Mobile?
opera difficuly to change tabs. additional taps needed to achieve simple task.
dolphin very similar to pc chrome, easy tab change what it lacks is ability to sync bookmarks with chrome, else its perfect.
default ics browser can sync, but to change tab must scroll to top of page is plain dumb! chrome has the best UI, if it can have desktop UA, then it is also perfect.
sigh....android has many options and we are spoilt for choices, but sometimes i feel, all the choices available also not perfect....got so many option make us headache only.

since on the topic for dolphin...how to change tabs fast and easy? i always need to scroll up to the page and change tab....
you got to be kidding me?
kesian sunny boy, actually you can tap the menu botton, the tabs bar will appear even if you are in the middle of the page.
weird that the stock browser dont have this feature.
another tip, you dont have to aim at the 'x' sign to close current tab, just tap any where on that tab to close it. very easy to change tabs, and the tabs will auto hide also. very smart and intuitive.
bro do you know that on ICS the stock browser if u on bottom of the page u can juz pull down abit the address bar and the bookmarks and the tab icon can be seen d, and if u wan change tab pinch the screen then u can change the tab already
omg! thanks! i did not know that. the address bar will appear whenever you scroll up. how could i miss that. thanks for the info.
hm...now the stock browser seems good again. bye bye dolphin. hehehe
however i have one thing that i hated the most in stock browser. there is no exit button to quit. can only press home button to go out or press back all the way until it closes. the only way is to open the tabs & swipe all the tabs away then it will exit back to homescreen
the GB stock browser speed is great, but UI is too horrible.
in ICS one got lots of improvement. about the exit problem, no need to troublesome.
open the tabs view, close all tabs = exit browser. the back button is actually function as 'go previous page' in the browser.
i bought a cheapo stylus last month, it can work on any capacitive touch screen. the tip is soft sponge kind, and curve. its really sensitive and great for draw something.
finally settle on GB. On ics litening rom, my primary navigation app, 'iGO', is not working well anymore. so dissapointed.
the text to speech is messed up. the women speak like gagap one. each word gap one second. i google and check in forums, its caused by ics using different text to speech engine.
this is so messed up! gave up on ICS already. (2nd time)
now on checkrom v6. wow...first time using this rom, its even smoother than ics stock, and litening rom. i mean the animations. seriously.
now waiting for TB to finish restore, then can explore the kitchen app that is so famous. hehe...

i downloaded and flashed checkrom v6 from checkrom website.
having fun with it until i notice i cant swipe away notifications. i thought notification swipe is one of the bonus features of check rom? why i dont have one?
is it because i flash a theme jkay? i notice the original jkay was 13.6.3 after i flash my theme it became 13.6.4
is there a way to get it back? the swipe notification. i know lots of you are check rom ex users, some advice from you guys will be much appreciated :-)
Not liking the scrolling in siyah RC3. CM9 3.0.27 kernel is better.
Added on April 6, 2012, 10:30 am Themes overwrite the systemui apk that contain the swipe notification. Stock jkay does not have swipe notification. You need to find a theme that support swipe notification.
oic....thanks for explaining.
do you know any website that have themes that can support swipe jkay? i'm just looking for something blue-ish.
the only place i know to find themes is from jkay xda threads.
Yup i just went back to stock CM9 kernel. its actually not bad.
Added on April 6, 2012, 10:45 amBTW there is a new beta swiftkey 3.0 available on their site. People can try it out.
Added on April 6, 2012, 10:46 am checkrom kitchen got themes...
but no preview at all, how i know how the theme looks like? arent' those system thtmes? jkay themes are typically 7MB in size. those themes there are like 20MB and bigger.
