Titanium Backup question -

I just installed CM7 RC1 and was about to do a batch restore of apps+data when I noticed that there seems to be quite a lot of "old" data that TB is loading. And when I say old, I mean like MANY backups ago when I was still using Sense ROMs.

How do I clean up these backups to make them more organized and useful?

When I found I had tons of extra poo poo I didn't need, I went through and restored all the apps and data I actually needed/wanted, and then did a mass delete once I made sure things were all set up, and then did another complete backup. Probably an easier way, I know you can tell it to delete all backups for apps that aren't installed for instance.

I'm not just getting lovely wifi signal (I'm about a foot from it and I'm getting two bars) I'm getting lovely (At least according to the readout on the phone itself) cell phone signal, I'm in a 3-4 bar area and I get consistently 1 bar on CM7, I'm probably just going to go back to stock

FYI CM7 and Sense use different numbers for 'signal' and bars mean absolutely nothing. Check your actual decibel rating, because the ROM itself is 99% likely to have 0 effect on actual signal.

We can count on Motorola locking bootloaders until the end of time.

The original Droid was so perfect in every way for what it was and when it came out. I don't know why Motorola would purposely lock the bootloader when they're the only ones doing it like that. Regular people aren't going to know enough to root their phone and gently caress with the bootloader, and nerds like us are just going to avoid their poo poo because of this whole fiasco.

Too bad their are giant gently caress-off issues with CM7 for NC right now, like the Market being half broken. It sucks, I haven't been able to update an app since installing.

I had a big issue with apps not updating and the market and some other stuff being a little fubar when I went to the latest nightly for N1 from the RC, so I'm hoping once they start putting more out it'll be working again.

It's related to the DPI - My Apps is inaccessible, and apps that are installed when I try to view their page will just go "lol nope" <--- direct quote.

Mine just does absolutely nothing except sits and mocks me when I hit the "OK" button after viewing an app's permissions. I got angry and said gently caress it because I didn't have time to deal with it.

Wow the latest version of CM7 for N1 has a way easier time getting a GPS lock. Took about 15 seconds indoors in my apartment, where as before outside it could take upwards of a minute or two.

I do but only for data, its not as reliable for restoring full apps, also it would take forever since I can't see a backup all option anywhere.

Titanium Backup works just fine for restoring full apps including market links, I've used it many, many times. And it most certainly does full backups, mine's set to do so every night automatically at 3AM while I sleep.

out of 5 backups I have tried guess how many have worked? gently caress all. And im sorry but backs up correctly most of the time is not adequate for something that you rely on to back things up. Whats the point of a backup if there is a chance it didn't work?

Edit: not forgetting clockworks half assed sd formatting and complete lack of the full wipe wiping anything but the user data.

Your weird hiccups are not even close to the norm, Cyanogen wouldn't include something lovely that barely worked in his ROM. I've made a ton of backups over the past 6 months or so via CWR and never had a single one not work.

What he said, 99.9% of apps have their own settings for notifications. Unless you use CM7, which now supports profiles.

Okay so riddle me this batman, how the heck do I get the alarm clock to use a specific track to wake me up instead of having to add it as a ringtone, then select it.

Add it to your sd card in /media/audio/alarms/ I believe. Never added custom alarms though.

They work like blackberry profiles and can be quick switched from the shut down menu. Lets you make custom sound profiles you can switch between quickly.

Incredibly slick. New lock screen looks good, new notification tray owns, the way pop ups work owns. New settings is nice, though trackball wake doesn't appear to be working on my N1 at the moment.

I do have today off, maybe I'll look into this. What's the main site for the N1 version?

*edit* Should I just dig around on MIUI-Dev.com forums and find it?

For some reason it wouldn't let me start downloading apps from the market until I connected to wifi. I'm really hoping that doesn't continue past an initial hiccup. I am really liking the UI overall though.

I downloaded MIUI for the Incredible, and I like it a lot. However, I've run into a pretty annoying bug and wanted to know if it's common.

My TB restored Launcher Pro, so I went into it. I wanted to become more acquainted with the stock MIUI launcher, so I tried to go back to it. But Launcher Pro wouldn't stop being the default. So I uninstalled it.

I played with the MIUI launcher, and decided I'd rather have Launcher Pro. I reinstalled it, and...nothing changes. Set LP to default. Nothing changes. Reboot. Nothing changes. :psyduck:

Under settings click the Programs tab, and then Default Program Settings. Check the Default Launcher setting.

Dammit. I've been trying to install Android Debug Bridge and ADB isn't showing up in my Device Manager. Despite having installed SDK and updating it I can't get the prompt to work. Any ideas? I've been having so much trouble getting a custom ROM installed on my Optimus P500 that I'm thinking of just giving up on the whole thing. :(

If you're on Windows, you don't "install" ADB as much as navigate to the directory it's in in the SDK directory and run it from the command prompt.

My god, I love taking the jump from standard modified roms to CM. Was floored when I did it on my Hero and I just took the jump on my Shift and I still am impressed. However I have an issue. Titanium Backup cannot restore my apps or data. If I attempt to restore both app and data, TB says that it failed. If I just restore the app, it says it completed, however I cannot find the app installed. What is causing this?
There's some setting TB needs on in order to work right, I wanna say debugging or something.
