[Q] So i know how to flash, what about the stuff around?

[dimab]

Hi all,
So flashing ROMs is now natural to me, I was a long time on 2.1 with lag-fix and this was enough for me, but now leaked ROMs became very good (as it sounds form people around) and I gave it a try:
I copied all my contacts to gmail account instead of phone memory
I'm backing up my text messages and then can restore them

What's left is applications with their settings and more important their market entries this is something I'm asking you about - I'm doing backup with Titanium, then when i restore i need to press "install" and "done" buttons on each and every app and in the end i see that there was no market entries for any of those applications, so they won't get updated.
Ok then, I thought, maybe AppBrain will help me, while it's on my working ROM it's cool - I can sync my apps, see updates etc. but when i switch to nude from apps rom and then sync the AppBrain syncs and removes all the apps i had there so also nothing here...

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong - I would very appreciate to know how you do all this stuff right!

Thanks!

Titanium backup backs up your app+data. When you're restoring them, did you press app+data instead of just app?

I don't know why that would happen since I always get my market entries back.

I guess that I actually did used app+data option, or at least all the programs did remembered my settings (doesn't that means that i restored also the data?)

also is there a way to restore apps without pressing "install" and "done" on every one of them?

Thanks in advance

You have to buy the pro version for that feature. I HIGHLY recommend it. It is so useful and saves you so much time. And the dev is extremely helpful and supportive of his app.

Try restoring their data and see if that works. If not, try re-downloading them and back the files up again.

Do what koreancanuck's suggesting - try to reinstall all apps + data and keep your fingers crossed. I also have the pro version of TiBu - agreeing to install every single app after a new ROM installation is the last thing I want to do.

If you still can't get your apps working after installing apps + data then you'll just have to go through the Market to download them again. At least you can still see which apps you already had via TiBu. I feel like sometimes it's better to start over when you've just installed a fresh ROM, rather than restore from TiBu, because then you can really see which apps you want and which ones were just wasting space.
