Kernal flashing and restoring backup??

JeffKay · #1 (**permalink**) 09-16-2010, 02:03 PM

Ok.. I can and have use nandroid backup fine.

I have Titatium and My Backups apps..

What is the sequence for backing up, flashing a kernal, and restoring my apps and home screen(s)? It seems no matter what, my screens get reset after a kernal flash. It would be nice to flash a kernal, restore without skipping a beat.. more or less.. if that is even possible.

Thanks
Jeff

Okay, I figured it out, it was moved, by me, back to the head of the line in the same section. OMJ must be a littled "pre-occupied" lol

You shouldnt have to restore anything...its just cache and davlik that get wiped. You do not have to do a reset/format wipe.

I lost all my apps and home screen settings, every time I flash a kernal.. like the phone was factory reset. Is there a way to avoid this? Like in the old windows days of replace "command.com"..

It shouldn't factory reset your device are you sure your not doing so?

I used to love hacking command.com to read a different startup file other than c:\autoexec.bat, usually something like C:\a\autoex.bat (same number of characters, command.com was picky, and then hide that directory). I used to confound the guys at Fry's in the 80's by having the cloned and renamed autoexec.bat copy any changes they tried to make, to itself, but still keep the changes I had made. Long story, but basically it resulted in them having to reload the OS to keep the computer from only displaying a topless photo that they already had on their HD. They couldn't get it to go away, and all the techs would gather around trying.

I could walk up to a computer on display and do it so fast, nobody suspected anything. I used a similar trick on the Mogul's on display in Fry's, using the IR port. Geez, I hate Fry's, and love messing with them.........
