Hi lbcoder, Thanks very much for your assistance. Unfortunately, I have used nandroid and other methods(backup apps), but the restore process never quite works for me (more details below).
Here is what I meant by bringing up my 150 apps: 1) The old way--apparently illegal--was to flash a new ROM image, usually with no wipe. It took 15-20 minutes tops, and my apps would work just fine. 2) The new way is to flash back to a stock ROM, get it updated (so you can have the latest versions of Google software, like Market), backup the Google stuff, flash the ROM you actually want, and restore the Google stuff. This step will take quite a while by itself. 3. The nandroid restore has not worked for me while going through some of the processes described immediately above. Apparently, I am not alone--a quick Google search shows that people who have had nandroid restore problems were basically told to wipe and start over. 4. This potentially leaves me with the problem of having 150 apps to start over with. Not a nice prospect. 5. My parenthetical comment "(Try that on your stock G1 ;) )" was indeed a jab at stock ROMs. An another note, I hope my tip about AXMLPrinter2.jar on the xda forums was useful for you. It really does a great job with the Manifest files. --Ed On Sep 30, 12:31 pm, lbcoder <[email protected]> wrote: > Read his WHOLE response.
