After much reading and learning I have successfully flashed the Cynagen ROM and had my contacts and gapps carried over. I used ROM manager but hey, it worked. This forum specifically you two, have been very helpful and I appreciate it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

I guess I need to do more research. Today I flashed the codename rom today after creating a batch backup in titanium backup. I figured I would just download TB and restore the batch but while in the play store it states its already installed on my device so I couldn't download again. I guess I...

Alright, I'll read up on it. I'm just really surprised this is the route that has to be taken, I thought a quick restore of data would put my screens back the way I had them set up, I mean at least the contacts and apps. That Cm10 nightly ROM would suck so bad if you kept up to date on it.

I do have titanium backup ill look into how to use that to accomplish what I'm trying to do. But the general idea that I'm getting from you guys is to not do this, different rom versions and stuff come into effect. So basically with each new rom you must re download and set up all...

Is there a way to resotre/apply nandroid back up so that all of our apps and setting are applied to the new ROM? ?

Does wiping system data also wipe my backups? Is this recommended to do before each ROM flash? gapps...Google Apps? Pretty sure I did this as I was asked if I wanted to include Google Apps in the flash. But what I went ahead and did was restored from the last backup (today) and it booted back...

Yeah I went ahead and flashed it myself instead of using rom manager. so far I cant even get it to boot, I'm just getting stuck on the CyanogenMod boot animation, does it always take forever to get past this, or was it a bad flash?

Can somebody point this noob in the right direction to the latest Jelly Bean CM10 ROM? I'm looking at the ROM Manager app and I'm not sure which one to flash, also I'm on the xvda forums and not sure where to look exactly on there...thanks!

Im currently setting up this app for the first time after a root. Does it always take several mintues to "asking for root rights"? Like upwards of 10min? Edit: this went on for almost 30 min until I restarted my phone. All good now!

I just rooted for the first time and I havent changed the rom. Pretty sure you must flash a new rom before its changed.

Yeah ok. I have an ATT phone. Can you answer the question 5 year old style and say yes or no for the sgh-1747? :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

How do we ensure they are saved to our google account and not the phone. The "merge with google" option? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

Thank you! Appreciate the quick response. Also, is this method recommended for models besides a GT-i9300, say a SGH--1747?

I'm new to android, but not computer illiterate. I just cant seem to find where I can access the SdCard. I'm in windows explorer on my PC and i cant find the path to the SdCard. I'm assuming I do this step through my PC, correct? Also, I'll be putting it on my internal as the external is...
