[ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.1.0 -Stable

[strabo231]

I didn't intend to change the recovery on my phone, so it's good to know that I should be able to restore a backup from there successfully. I remember reading that once you go to MTD you have to be careful about installing a BML ROM later. I wasn't sure how that applied for nandroid backups. But if I can restore one of them without trouble, that's good to know. I can come back to my phone's current state then if I don't like a new ROM for some reason.



Right, I know Google handles some things basically automatically, and call logs and SMS records are easily restored with some apps. Apps themselves aren't so bad either; in the past, I've usually just reinstalled them all (or what I wanted to keep) from the market. It's the app data I'm wondering about. I think CWM has an advanced restore option for data only; would that be OK to use when changing ROMs? I have both Titanium Backup (free, right now) and MyBackup Root (free also) installed. Is either one better or easier for restoring backups? I haven't had to use either one for that yet. Thanks for your help.

In my opinion it's a lot easier to do the backup and restore with titanium a opposed to root backup or the file managers that have that function. Now keep in mind when I say data is a bad idea to restore, I'm talking about system data. App data is perfectly fine to restore. Titanium will back up the apps and data in one shot, and the restore is basically one click and wait. The advance restore option I believe is for system data. If you were going from one gb ROM to another that would probably be okay, but going from gb to ics, it is a strong possibility that it will cause problems.

Did you restore it from the stock rom? If you have a third party SMS like go, that's okay to restore, but you wanna get rid of the old stock one if you did.

Yeah little easier that way. Using advance restore through recovery doesn't separate app and system data...so I'd just go the other way to be safe. Just make sure you don't restore the stock app. You wanna just stick with the one that came with the new rom, or one from the market.

Thanks a lot. It works now. But there is one problem my phone doesn't auto rotate ? I went through the whole settings menu and made sure auto-rotate is on. It rotates when I slid the keyboard out but then when I slid it back in to portrait view it stays in landscape and I have to turn off the screen and back on to make it work. And is it safe to over clock to 1200mhz ?

Settings> display> rotation..make sure all the options are checked. 0, 90, 180, 270, and auto rotate. Overclock.... your phone will let you know. If you set it at 1200 and it starts acting stupid then kick it down to 1000. Some of these phones do fine that high and some don't. I personally have seen 800/1200 do fine. If that doesn't do well for you 400/1000 seems to do pretty well also.

Not sure about the rotation then. I rooted an epic with this rom for a friend, but I didn't get to pay with it too much after. I would def overclock your min if the phone will behave. It'll save you some battery and the rom will perform much smoother

Nah like I said before 800/1200 is okay unless you start getting a lot of freeze ups and reboots and stuff. Then you'll wanna back it off some

How does overclocking the minimum save you battery life?

Something I read from one of the mods. I'll have to see if I can dig it up. it was just talking about the min value though.

I'm having a hard time finding the post with the reference in it. I do know that overclocking the phone causes cpu to use more power initially, but also means it takes less time to complete tasks, so over the life of a charge, on average it will usually save you an hour or two of your battery, maybe more depending on your specific settings. Also could go the other way and drain the battery faster...again, depends on your specific settings. Not something I would consider a huge accomplishment, but with ICS every little bit adds up.
