We don't run the apk? We have to replace it, correct?

Yessir

Nick7-

My apologies in advance for these stupid n00be questions:

Right now, I am still running RebornROM v.2.1. I have Titanium Backup Pro and I'm familiar with backing up apps and data.

Question #1 - Is there a way, that I can actually export the *installed* apps in their original .apk format onto the SD Card/etc? Titanium Backup seems to back them up in a compressed file format along with associated settings.

However, I'm looking for away to simply extract or export the installed apps in their native .apk format for backup-purposes.

Question #2 - Also, I notice that when people leave me voicemail messages...I don't get any kind of notification...is this just a setting that I need to activate?

Thanks!!

BJ

Ok, so this is really starting to irritate me now, but I'm having a lot of problems once I clear all my cache and data. I cant flash the rom until my data has been cleared, but every time I clear the data my phone is factory reset, and I have to redownload Rom Manager and SU. Once I get that up and running, I try again only to have my phone factory reset again and start all over from scratch.

This is getting really irritating for me and Im almost fed up with trying to get this to work. Someone please tell me something simple that I'm missing, I know it has to be something.:'(

What recovery are you using? And don't redownload Rom Manager, It can brick THIS model.

Put Reborn ROM on SD card >reboot to recovery >wipe data, cache, and dalvik >flash rom >reboot >enjoy!!!

Using Clockwork recovery. So here's where Im stuck at:

Using clockwork, I clear data and both cache's, go to install from sd, pick Reborn ROM straight from the root of SD, after a few seconds get a message saying "Installation Aborted"

Using stock recovery, reset data and bot cache's, only thing I can install is update.zip. Reboot phone, starts off fresh, lost everything and have to reinstall SU, Rom manager and Titanium.

I know I'm sounding like a noob, but I've looked everywhere trying to figure out why it wont flash properly.

Look here i posted a way to fix voicemail! As long you are talking about VVM (sprint visual voice mail)

http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/100756-voicemail-issues.html

Know what to do if you are not receiving your Visual Voicemails

Steps you can try if you are not receiving your Visual Voicemail messages:
1. On your phone keypad, enter *38 and then press Talk to cancel any call forwarding(When you use Goggle voicemail you
are actually forwarding your call to them, this call will only be about 5 sec and then will hang up by itself)
2. Power off your phone, remove and reinsert the battery and then power it back on
3. Update the data profile on your phone; go to Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update profile
4. Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message by selecting Menu and then Compose. Make sure your message is longer
than 15 seconds and send to activate@vvm.sprint.com.
You can find these steps buy going to Voicemail->settings->Help->Scroll to Most-Viewed topics ->Know what to do if you are not receiving your Visual Voicemails

Hope this helps, lets us know!

You have the WRONG recovery. Clockwork recovery from ROM Manager will NOT flash Reborn ROM or any ROM here. You need to use Xionia Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Please read the Stickies:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...optimus-s-recoveries-roms-kernels-themes.html

This is the recovery you need to flash ROMs here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...covery-xionia-clockwork-cwma-v1-2518-6-a.html

You can't use that recovery, you must use 1 of the recoveries from this forum.

Look at the sticky's posted at the top of this forum. The last one by KSmithInNy has links to the recovery options .
And don't use rom manager at all.

We should start keep a tally of all the Optimus s that have gone belly up with Rom Manager being at the root of the cause.

Thunderom? I think the really heavy recommendation would be to wipe data before flashing. However, you can backup all of your apps and settings with Titanium Backup, and then restore them once the new ROM is installed. Also, don't forget to back up your texts using an SMS Backup app if those are important to you.

You don't have to lose anything; it just takes a little work to back stuff up and then restore.

Good luck!

EDIT: You will lose certain phone settings like 'remembered' wifi networks, ringtone settings, etc. Not a big deal to fix those though.

I like Mybackup for Root. Easier to use than titanium for apps backup
