GCstar is an application for managing your collections. It supports many types of collections, including movies, books, games, comics, stamps, coins, and many more. You can even create your own collection type for whatever unique thing it is that you collect. Detailed information on each item can be automatically retrieved from the internet and you can store additional data, such as the location or who you’ve lent it to. You may also search and filter your collection by many criteria.

Install AOKP in Galaxy Nexus

This is how I install a new ROM in my Galaxy Nexus, backing up all my apps and settings, and allowing a recover to my current state in case of something goes wrong.

I have root and have been using XenonHD (Android 4.2.1).

I’m going back to AOKP, so I decided to post how I prepare my phone for a new ROM.

Backing up your device

Backup using Titanium Backup
Backup Nova Launcher settings
Backup SMS using SMS Backup & Restore
Reboot into recovery (I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.3)
Backup (backup and restore > backup)
Go into “install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard” just to guarantee that ClockworkMod Recovery is accessing the storage
Plug the phone into a computer (I’m using Ubuntu 12.10, and have already android-sdk)
Go into your android-sdk tools folder

1cd Android/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/

Go into adb shell and list the directories in your “sdcard” to decide what to backup

1sudo ./adb shell
2ls /data/media/0
3exit

Pull all the directories you want to backup

1sudo ./adb pull /data/media/0/data sdcard/data

The previous example will create a sdcard folder in your tools folder with the data folder pulled from your phone
Change the owner of the pulled folders

1sudo chown -R youruser:youruser sdcard

You can also backup using FTP for example. I normally use WellFTP Server.
