Hi
is there any way to backup my installed apps and settings, then install an other custom rom, then load the backup to my device again?
im using my backup pro, app from the market, probably the best one out there

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie to smart phones. I succcessful managed to create a goldcard and root my Desire to the generic HTC room using the 1 step r6 guide at modaco forums. I have managed to re-install my apps.
I'm just wondering whether it is possible to create a backup image so that if I was to go to a different rom which I didn't like I could restore the image to go back to the generic rom but with all my apps installed. Is a custom rom with all my apps on there the same as an image???
I read some stuff about nandroid here but it seems confusing and says that you need to create seperate backup for app settings.
sorry not sure if what I am saying is making sense.
Thanks for any help
I did a bit more reading and I guess it's not possible to backup an image and restore like you can with a hdd. So I can only restore to the provider or stock Roms, I would have to backup my settings and apps using an app like titanium but it won't allow me to update these apps unless I use the paid version?

Yes there is. User ROM Manager. I'm using it to switch back between Froyo and 2.1 Sense. Just create a backup before you flash ROM #2, then backup ROM #2 after configuring it. Then just restore from one of the two backups. Easy as pie!

Yes, use either ROM Manager or a recovery to make a nandroid backup. It will backup everything on your phone (apps, settings, etc - not the SD card though of course). The nandroid backup created (which you can also copy to your Computer, to be on the safe side) will be a 'snapshot' of your phone.

I use MyBackup because it can back up *.apk files and their associated data.
Titanium backup

The only backup app you will ever need
ROM manager backs up and restores everything for me when I switch from rom to rom. Just set up everything once while on each rom and create a backup for each to restore to. I also us Titanium backup to backup my apps but you don't need it if you just want to restore your settings and apps as you saved it in rom manager.
and i still dilemma on whether to flash OpenDesire or the Original rooted froyo....
Need to clear something in my mind for flashing steps;
1)Root my device(DONE!)
2)Backup Nandroid
3)Run Titanium Backup
4)Flash my chosen custom ROM
5)Restore files using Titanium Backup again.
a) thats it right? btw whats with the Radio? do i need it? i see some got with radio and some dont. what is it for and why?
b) and about Titanium backup, i just backup all the stuffs, and restore them all just like that correct?
c) and all my settings/preferences/options for my apps will not be lose right(for example fonts, colours, settings in handcent sms, etc)?
d) and one more thing, all of my purchased apps from Paid market still be useable ? or need to download again?
1)Root my device(DONE!)
2)Run Titanium Backup/backup everything
3)Backup Nandroid
4)Wipe
5)Flash my chosen radio
6)Flash my chosen custom ROM
7)Restore files using Titanium Backup again.
I have a HTC DHD and have decided that I want a custom ROM. Is there a way to backup my apps and app settings before I do so? So that I can restore them once the custom ROM is installed?
Also, is here a way to backup my branded ROM before I change it?
Thanks

Yes. I have been through this before :
1. Follow guides to permanently root and radio s-off first. Install Clockworkmod.
2. Back up app: Install backup program. I use Titanium Backup and backed up all installed apps and settings. They are saved for later restoration.
Check up http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=TB+-+HOWTOs for official steps.
3. Now get into your CWM Recovery. Make a back up of your stock rom. I still do keep an back up copy of my official stock ROM.
4. Flash the rom of your choice. Flash the radio if necessary.
5. Boot into new rom. Install Titanium Backup if there isn't. Restore your system settings and user apps like in the above link.
6. Become a flash mania. Start your life of flashing tons of different roms...
These are rough steps. You may experience some hiccups during the last step. Usually can be solved by reinstalling from the Market (instead of restoring from backup) and restoring settings only. That's the fun side of this whole stuff.

Right now I'm using EvervolvTurba 4.2.2 ROM on my Desire and before that I've had stock GB ROM. I was wondering can I move apps from that GB ROM and all those appses settings (Like game progression/money/points etc...) to the new 4.2.2 ROM? If can, how do I do it? I have a backup of both GB and JB ROMs.
Yes of course you can
While on your 4.2.2 ROM, install another app called nandroid manager or similar, can't remember the exact name. You should be able to browse the gb nandroid backup and extract all the apps plus their data.
If that doesn't work, restore the gb backup and install another app like titanium backup to backup all user apps and data. Then restore the 4.2.2 ROM and install titanium backup and restore the apps.
You may have compatibility issues from gb to 4.2.2, so you may have to install the apps manually from the play store and then restore the data afterwards.
try titanium backup!! it is good!
