Trying to restore my messages using Titanium Backup, which one should I be doing? Tried the [SMS/MMS/APN] and [SMS/MMS PREFS] but neither given me messages back?

Oh right that would be the problem I was having with my clock dissapearing then, although I thought it was a2sd+ listed in opendesire 1.2...... do i have to do anything smart with my partitions manually?

Im having a bit of a time getting new roms to work!
Tried pays 1.2 and 2.0 bs and both of them keep random rebooting, freezing, FC's... all sorts!
Tried both flashing ways also, using the update.zip recovery to flash whats on the sd card, and also the older adb windows-recovery.bat to flash whats on the sd... no matter what they dont work right!
Im wiping everything inbetween also, cache, davlik (whatever), settings, battery, etc!

A2SD and A2SD+ are the same concept, i.e. there's a system link to the Ext3 Partition on your SD Card.
Only the + version moves Dalvik cache to the SD Card as well, freeing up more space.
Froyo applications onto SD is different to them both.
Soldato
Ahh, needed a reboot to restore messages.

Widgets should work with A2SD and A2SD+. I'm using A2SD+ on MCR3.1 and have Widgets installed to the SDCard.
They should work with Froyo A2SD too, if you move the widgets to the internal phone memory.
Apparently, the application "Spare Parts" can set the default install location for applications on FroYo.
I would recommend uninstalling the applications with widgets, setting the install location to phone memory via Spare Parts, installing just the widgets and application with widgets you want. Then setting Spare Parts to SD and install the rest of your applications that don't have widgets, or have widgets you don't use.
The only issue you'll have is if Spare Parts moves all installed applications when you change settings, not just change the location - if you get me.

wooooooooooosh straight over my head lol
No seriously i get what your saying but i meant any apps with widgets on sd card donet work, they work great on phone memory, ive just been using the default sttings > manage apps utility to swap what i need with widgets from sd to phone

Restoring messages still caused an FC on messaging, even after I clear data in Application settings. Any way to get around this without going into recovery mode and clearing data?
Can someone actually go through the steps they take to backup and restore SMS and call logs (they're the things I'm most bothered about) when doing a change between two completely different ROMs?

I use MyBackup Pro for call logs, sms/mms and system settings.
Titanium only for user apps+data.
Battery update, 11:03PM @ 53% and that's with vent usage, some satnav and usage throughout the day too \m/

Can upgrade my phone right now but stuck between the desire and the samsung galaxy s.. help please
If you want the Sense UI, Desire.
If you aren't fussed about the Sense UI, Galaxy S.
Soldato
If it were down to me, I'd go for the Desire, I just plain dislike Samsung phones.
I don't think its as good as the Sense UI, although its not a bad effort.
You are best off trying both phones yourself to compare.
Yeah shall pop off down to vodaphone store and ask for a demo. Cheers guys, so sad im getting excited over a new phone
Its not sad at all!

This tbh.
After having my Desire for almost a week (coming from a 3GS):
+ Interface is a lot nicer to use.
+ Level of customisation is crazy.
+ Mobile signal is far far better.
However...
- Wifi seems to be worse - i've tested it against my Macbook and 3GS and in places where the other two load pages fine the Desire just clogs up and stops?
- App Store - really not keen on this. Sure, nothing has to be "run by" a third party but i'm starting to understand why this is a good thing. There's so much utter junk on there that either doesn't work or works with huge and often app-breaking problems that it makes finding the right app a bit of a chore. Also the store itself just stops working sometimes and won't load pages, instead whinging about "no connection" when I have wifi/3G+.
There are some other things that I can't figure out that i'm sure are down to me just learning the phone so i'm not going to put them down as bad things.
In terms of making the right choice - well the jury's still out. I'm not convinced yet, but that doesn't mean I won't be.
Any suggestions re: the above issues are welcome, but I have tried various ways around them and none seem to work, so unless i've got a faulty handset...?
