I thought I had this all figured out before I started, but now there's a glitch. Today at lunch I flashed CM9. All the stock stuff seems to work; however, now I'm wondering how to restore my Google account, apps, settings, Market history, phone contacts, etc.
I used QBKing77 video to root and flash. Started with Odin, then Clockwork, then CM9, then gapps. After rooting I used Titanium Backup and backed up again in CWM during the flash process. I have Play Store (market) but it does not recognize me. How do I recover/restore selected apps from my backups? take this with a grain of salt as I'm certainly not an android expert.
as for your apps. once you login to gmail and the appstore your phone should recognize you. all your settings will need to be manually reset. your apps should not be restored from the backup you made. since you're upgrading to a new version of android all the old app settings are incompatible. you should have used appbak (free in the market) to list all the apps you downloaded and then you redownload them in google playstore.
there was another app you should have run if you wanted to save your SMS. once you login to gmail and google play the cloud should sync your contacts and calendar.
