    Best way to make 2 Tabs the same?

    Hey what would be the best way to make 2 of these tablets the same?

    I've purchased 2 of the 701c 's for my kids as in car entertainment for an up coming 10hr car trip (each direction). I have flashed Shawns ICS, and the Market/Netflix fix. I'm setting up one tablet just how I want it (apps/screens/movies/music/ and safe guards against unwanted purchases). Once I've completed this can I clone everything and just transfer or flash the same image to the 2nd tablet?

    Cloning Tab

    You can install Titanium Back to the first tablet. Back the entire tablet up. Using a computer with both tablets connected transfer the Titanium Backup (TB) directory in whole to the other tablet. Install TB on the second tablet and restore the backup on the second tablet.

      Thanks, that sounds easy enough.

        Purchase, or otherwise obtain, Titanium Backup pro and you can do a batch restore. Otherwise I believe with the free version you have to restore and confirm one app at a time. Not a big deal if you have a couple dozen apps...but sometimes it can be a drag if you have 100 or so things to restore!

          I'll buy it, its worth it not to do it one by one. Thanks for the quick answers.

            That's how I feel about it too. At around $7.00 it's a cheap app that makes life so much easier if you plan on playing around with phones/tablets on a routine basis. I have no problem supporting developers when their product is useful and reasonably priced!

              couple other things

              one of the other things with titanium backup is it can try and restore on different platforms. it was fairly successfull for me when i went from froyo to gingerbread on my eris a couple years back. you do need to set the option for it and it is hidden. i always end up needing to search for it when i want to use it since it isnt that often.
              the other option for making a duplicate on the 701c is the kkrom kit clockwork recovery that we have talked about. with it you can make a complete backup of the system and then clone it onto the other, but it only works for the c running gingerbread.

                I was just thinking about this the other day. Now that I swapped out my defective 701C for a good one I don't have the annoying reboots anymore. I've finally got the 701C setup up with ICS and Link2SD and have everything the way I like it.

                Is there anyway to do a nandroid type backup of the whole shebang on the 701C running ICS? Titanium backups can be restored if something happens, but I just like the idea of being able to restore an "image" of the entire rom in the event something happens.

                      Do you think this will happen in the future? Nandroid backup would be great!
