Root [ROM] GB-CMod7-Beta

If your Titanium Backup PRO is updated, you'll see 3 colors in the apps list. White is for user apps, red is for system apps and green is for settings/configuration files.

Stock apps that LG/Google/Metro put on the phone such as Email, GMail, Maps, LGHome, Browser, Settings, etc. shouldn't be restored or restored with caution. Independent bloatware can be restored without issue. Free Games, Metro Navigator and other bloat can be put back.

Some personal data is stored independently of the system app, highlighted with Green and noted as User Data. "Data" from some system apps can be restored regardless of the ROM. For example, you can restore your Email 1.0's 'data', as it will just be the emails themselves and server settings. But if Email 1.0 is not already present in the ROM, putting the app in the phone may not work.

Try restoring smaller batches or starting just with user apps if you are trying to restore everything.


I don't have TB pro. Just the free version. I flashed cm7, and used TB to restore all missing apps+data. Rebooted fine. Now how should I go about restoring my system data?

Also, how do I , if possible add apps to the dock?
 
alright, so I got Cmod7 Installed and its seems like its working great, one issue Im having is playing video files, on my stock Froyo they played fine, but after I went to Cmod7, they don't seem to want to play, when I click on the video, the screen goes black as if wanting to play, then goes back to the selection screen, I tried both RockPlayer and mVideoPlayer.

Im using Rockplayer v 1.5 (for some reason 1.7.2 doesnt want to install), and mvideo from the market.

still need help on this =/

Also my root explorer Force Closes everytime :(

You don't restore system data unless there is something in particular you need from it. Restoring the wrong or unnecessary items will just cause conflicts in the ROM. System App/Data backups are mainly for "Oh Crap" moments where you accidentally delete them or need them back on the phone, kind of a 'NAND Backup Lite'.

Contacts are stored server side. Not sure about the Gmail app, but Email 1.0's data can be restored to bring back email settings. If you wanted your SMS back, I think one of the green Dialer listings stores them. You should get an app that can export/import them from the SD card. What exactly were you looking to do?
 
2 Questions. WHEN WILL LG RELEASE THE 2.3.3 VERSION SO THIS CAN GET OUT OF BETA AND WHEN IT IS PUT OUT OF BETA WILL THE LANDSCAPE PROBLEMS BE FIXED??? PLEASE ANSWER!!!
 
I can't get my phone to use deep sleep mode, its using my lowest cpu setting instead. I've been uninstalling stuff left and right, rebooting, changing cpu scaling, nothing is making it use sleep mode anymore.

Any ideas anyone?

What is Deep Sleep? You mean screen off? Checked your screen's timeout settings?

Sorry i wasnt able to reply, was away from a computer for days. I uninstalled root explorer and downloaded astro and used that too find files. I think they said it doesnt work idk why though i forgot but as for the videos, i will use atsro and try moving them to the camera or pictures folder and see if that works. Thats odd that, that happens.
 
Yeesh, what a grouch :(... You could've just explained it. That's okay though. Me and my phone will go somewhere we are wanted. *sniff sniff*


Lol made me laugh when i read both of your's conversation. That was pretty rude of him to say, he couldve taught you, me and possibly others what deep sleep was instead of getting mad.

Sorry I am so rude and didn't educate everyone. I expect a higher caliber of answer in this "all things root" section of this forum. I could have gotten a more relevant answer asking this question on reddit...
 
Has anyone had problems or know of a fix for wired headsets not working in phone calls. I can listen to music and hear the other person speaking, but they can not hear me. Tried multiple headsets and a couple of phones. Thanks in advance!

That's fine, I figured a work around though :) on the full version of rockplayer, it used to not play at all, the screen would go black and come back to the selection screen in hardware decoding. In software decoding, the player would force close everytime. I decided to download rockplayer lite from the market, and the samething happened in hardware decoding, but when I tried software this time it worked!!! So ya irk what's wrong with the full version I have and why hardware decoding doesn't work :/

But on a plus side my phone is noticeably faster with cmod7 on the stock rom all my videos lagged in software decode mode but now they play flawlessly :D

How did you get a 3G icon? Is that an app or apart of the theme? or? What going on because I only ever get 1x?

Speaking of themes, that may also be whats messing up the widget in question. My theory.
 
Ok so when I try to move certain apps to the sd card, and I'm talking about ones that can actually be moved to the sd card, they force close but if I leave them on the phone they play fine angry birds and adobe reader are examples of some of the apps this happens to what do?

You need to use the ext3 partition for this rom, I don't know if you can get it to work after the rom is already installed, You'll prolly have to wipe it, partition your sd and set it to ext3, then reflash your rom. Then when you install the apps to phone they think they are on the phone but they are really in the ext3 partition of your sd card and there isn't even a need to use that move to sd button...

The 3G icon is an app. I'm not using any themes I'm particular, just cyanbread from theme chooser I'm CM7.
