You will find everything you need there and up to date.

Now question...how can I shouldn't restore apps thru Titanium? What kind of issues would it cause? Does issues only arise with rubix or just in general all the roms out there? If I can't restore apps thru Titanium, what's are other options?

I'm asking this because I had no issues restoring apps thru Titanium under FlyX and Zap. Maybe there's an issue I'm unaware of?

Well if you know already how to unbrick phone. Try it all goes to worse you flash SBF and restore phone. I say make backup. I just don't want to go through the brick stage. My stomach already turns when I switch ROMS.

Good question: There are several posts about this issue, and it does affect other ROMs as well. I tried to summarize some of the issues in this post:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/87326-rom-two-roms-guys-crazy-13.html#post901145

By far the most common issue this causes, is the never ending sync issue (sync icon in notifications bar just won't go away)...

Some more info:
One person who reported issues with Titanium backup said they had success with reinstalling the ROM and when restoring with titanium they changed some restore options (NO CLUE what changes). I know this isn't helpful, and I'm sorry.

Also have seen multiple reports of people using MyBackup to backup/restore without issue, including a few that nandroid-restored back to their stiock 2.2, took a backup with MyBackup, reinstalled their ROM, and restored from MyBackup without problems.

I read a post where someone described why this is the case... but didn't provide technical details. Only that titanium grabs some system data, that MyBackup doesn't (??).

It's not only rubiX, but has made trying to support rubiX hell. heh.
Not sure what kind of userbase the other ROM's have, but I know that rubiX had over 2500 downloads of the Focused version alone .. and that was over a week ago or so ?

Hope this helps.. search should net you more info.. almost a majority of the posts asking for help in the rubiX forums are as follows: someone reported an issue and when asked if they had restored with titanium backup, they answer yes.. almost always followed by a reply that a reinstall of the ROM with no restore fixing the issue.

And, this is VERY IMPORTANT to note (IN fact, I think that the post you linked should be edited, and updated with this info)...

IF you try to follow that guide, and you've installed the OVER THE AIR update from Verizon... you will end up with THIS:

The last post is from someone who followed the guide that was on OTA 2.2.

IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
See: Have OTA 2.2 installed? Do not use any 2.1 SBF....

If this has changed (is no longer the case, PLEASE let me know!).

[NYDroid]

[NYDroid]

Send me a PM and I'll look it up and get the info on how to get the stock cardock back. In the meantime, try this:
Car Home (beta) - Android app on AppBrain

Several people have said they like it better than the stock car home.. *shrug*

 

[scubieman]

How did you get the Rubix file? Internet or through ROM manager?

Go for it. As long as you check the box for making a backup first, you should be able to go back if you change your mind. *shrug*.. what the heck!

(BTW, sleep does sound good, so I'll probably not be on much longer myself.. heh)

I have about 3 productive hours left of work

And, this may save me a PM.. hehe:
Full list of apps and apks that are removable and non-removable with root - Android Forums

You should be able to find the cardock.apk (I think that's it, anyway) from there. Only problem, is I'm not 100% sure if it has other required apps. if it doesn't work.. then I'm not sure what to tell you... :S

To make both of our lives easier, try the app I linked. heh, I'm interested in feedback on it too!
