Nandroid restore..

---

I installed this to get Live Wallpapers on my Eris. I decided I didn't care for it and used the nand backup I previously made to restore. I thought all was well until I cleared default on Sense again and saw the Nexus Launcher was still there, and it's still functional. Live Wallpapers is still an option as well, but all of them are gone except the two Cube wallpapers.

Am I missing something? I thought I just had to go into recovery and restore my Nand backup to go back to how my phone was before installing this new patch

I tried searching, but I'm not exactly sure what to search for.. if I missed it, please go easy on me..

Which rom are you running?

I ask because some roms have nexus launcher built in but not default.

I'm running 'Rooted 2.1 v0.8T2', found in this tutorial.

I can see the Nexus Launcher being default in some ROMs, but what about the Live Wallpapers?

Am I suppose to 'Wipe' before restoring a Nand backup?

edit: Did a wipe, and even wiped cache then restored my backup... they're still there.

edit2: I remembered that I installed the Nexus lock screen mod. Thinking that maybe the launcher came with it, I reverted to an older backup and NOPE! the damned Nexus launcher is still there, as are Live Wallpapers..

Okay, sorry for the double post but this deserves it.. I think.

I did a completely fresh install of the Rooted 2.1 v0.8T2 linked to above. I saw in recovery that it wiped data and cache before installing.
Upon first boot, I was presented with a pop-up asking me which home screen I'd like to use, and Nexus Launcher was an option!
This would lead one to believe that it was included in the ROM, except that my email and applications were all preserved and working and this, in fact, was not a fresh installation as it was intended to be.

Ugh..

edit: Widgets were out of place, as expected, but all applications and my mail accounts and emails are preserved.. how does this happen? I wiped manually, and I saw it wipe data and cache upon installation..

edit2: Okay! I was giving up, and decided to re-install that 'Rooted 2.1 v0.8T2' again, and this time it presented me with the setup upon first boot (last time, it just booted up like the phone had been restarted). All of my customizations and email accounts are gone, but Nexus Launcher and Live Wallpapers are still there lol.

Ivan mentions nothing about having Nexus Launcher and Live Wallpapers installed by default in this ROM, but he also says he didn't have time for a full walk-through.. so I'm going to assume it's in there by default at this point.

Yeah, the nexus launcher is included in that rom.
It really shouldn't be a problem..
you can dl Home Switcher in the market and it lets you switch back and forth through your home apps.

Haha, thanks That explains that away..

Now, about this recovery not doing it's job properly... oh well, nevermind, it eventually worked anyway.

Thanks for the input

Yeah, I have no idea about that, lol.


I didn't even know the nexus launcher was included until I started reading through the posts on Ivan's thread, because I never got a popup asking which one I'd like to use, lol. But Home Switcher showed me, cool little app. Hate the nexus launcher though, lags like crazzzy on my phone.

It seems to work well on mine until I open a couple of apps, then it freezes and won't even FC.. leaving me to soft reset with a battery pull.

I gave it a shot, but decided to stick with Sense for now
