Root Taking the ROM-changing plunge

[thebryceee]

So far, the biggest problem not attributable to IOHS error is that custom ringtone setting doesn't seem to be working straight. The one I want to use for DH exists on the system, can be selected, but when he test-calls (we'd had some trouble with my incoming calls), he gets the default I've chosen.

Question: is the alog file thing a problem on this ROM?

Second question: where should I put the startup/shutdown sound files?

CM7 doesn't log files

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE TITANIUM BACKUP, it restores everything that was on you phone including system data which could conflict with your new system data and make stuff to not work. use mybackup to backup and restore your apps and data. mybackup does not back up any systems data.

OK, so now that I got the auto-app-sync turned off, is there a way to turn it back on, or do I have to re-do the restore from Titanium, after re-flashing in response to all the "no Titanium!" yelling? I really didn't want to spend the next six hours loading apps one-by-one-by-one.

Like I said, I have restored non-system apps with Titanium, just don't restore the data. Many times when people have an issue with a ROM, it is from them restoring data from a different ROM.

Yes it may take a while to get all your apps if you download them from the market, but you only have to do it once. Make a nandroid, then if you switch and decide to come back to that ROM, you only need to restore it.

Titanium Backup only Backs Up/Restores System files unless you tell it to. I use TB with no problems, I only backup/restore User Applications which are the non system apps that you install from the Market, Amazon, etc.

Exactly. It asks if you want just the apps or the apps + system data. If you choose just the apps it's fine. I just did it for the first time a few weeks ago and haven't had any problems.
