so fresh 3.2 will be available any day now and i am going to flash it but it requires a full wipe. normally this isn't an issue but i moved most of my apps to the sdcard how do i restore those after the wipe
note i nand and use titanium backup every time i wipe
Titanium has an option to restore back to original location. I have not tried it but I think that's what youre asking.

I did some searching and I wasn't able to find the answer I was looking for, so here goes.
Last night I rooted my GB Evo with the new Revolutionary method. I got all excited to put my MikG ROM back on the device using AmonRa, and without thinking I cleared cache, delvic-cache, and then data ... THEN I did my Nandroid backup.
If I ever decide to restore back to my backup, is this going to cause problems? What exactly is lost when you choose to clear data?
Thanks for your help.
That will clear all your settings definitely and apps I think.
Clearing data I mean .
Clearing cache and dalvik cache will do nothing I do that before backing up to save memory.

You pretty much only backed up the system and wimax.
i dont think it will boot up if you restore. try it and tell us your results you can always go back into recovery and flash a new rom
Make another backup and don't wipe data I only keep backups that I want to go back to and incase something goes wrong .
As long as you have your apps backed up you can always flash a stock rooted ROM and restore your apps.

I have Clockwordmod Recovery installed on my GSII (T989). If I do a full backup, and then flash a custom ROM/Kernel...can I just do a complete full restore if I don't like it (from the backup I made)?
Thanks!
Well there is no cyanogen recovery so that's probably why no one is replying fyi.

So I don't have to worry about losing anything? Once I restore, it will be like I never changed anything? (Almost like an image backup of a computer)?

umm...I thought CWM recovery backed up everything...including data (excluding microSD card).
So, if I restore it, it restores the original Kernel and ROM? Is that correct?
If something goes wrong, while flashing new kernels/ROMS, I can boot into recovery and just restore?
I'm already rooted, I just want to be sure before I start messing with my device.
Thaks!

you are correct the Nandroid backup built into the CWM recovery will back up everything on your phone as it is. including any ext partition on your external SD card. (will not backup your FAT partition where your normal downloads and pictures go, as this is where the backups are stored) but your ROM, all apps and their data and anything on your EXT partition (if you have one) will be backed up.
i suggest copying the clockworkmod backup folder to your computer before flashing anything else. just in case it messes up your SD card somehow.
doing the full restore will automatically restore ROM apps and data as they were when you backed up. feel free to flash as many roms as you want, just make sure to keep your backup safe. and to wipe all data in between roms as usual.
although titanium backup is amazing. and will backup apps and their data while booted inside your rom. its amazing, check it out.
Cwm backs up everthing including rom, kernel, and data. When you restore your backup it will restore your phone the way it was the moment that you backed it up.

I have TB Pro...are you saying it will back all of my apps/data up, and I can just restore it from within my new ROM?
Correct. Just use caution when trying to restore system apps.
Good.Luck!

Dude don't sorry so much!!! Super Noob!!! JK! Well not really you are never going to want stock again...just carefully flash your desired ROM.. use TB to restore all of your apps and their data. Do a nandroid back up of your current rom then one of your favorite roms after you set it up to you liking.

I know this is probably a dumb question but I searched and can't find the answer.
I recently flashed CM10. Before I did that I made a nandroid backup of rooted TouchWiz.
I want to go back to rooted TouchWiz.
Does anything special need to be done before restoring the a nandroid backup?
Or is it as simple as just choosing the restore option and then selecting the correct backup.
Thanks.
Just choose restore option then wipe cache nd dalvik cache
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
So that's wipe cache and dalvik cache AFTER restore, correct?
Yes

When I restore from nandroid, I just restore.. No clearing etc but whatever makes you happy. Never had any problems restoring..
hey if I've done a nandroid how would i properly restore it as far as wiping before my restore? thanks
Same as installing a rom never fails me, wipe system factory reset wipe caches and... restore
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just restore. No need to wipe anything as the old information is overwritten, not merged.
You can either wipe or simply restore your nandroid without manually wiping partitions. I personally just like to restore as wiping is already being done. If you notice, while running the restore process each partition you selected is being wiped upon restoring that specific partition.

Yeah, I kmow it sounds noob but here is the thing.
You do a nandroid backup, then i restore it, simple as it is.
But should i completly do a clean up be4 doing the restore and does the restore be as good as the last time I used it? Or will it have some issues after first restore?

Restoring is better and less work than flashing through odin.
No wipe is neccery with restore..I personaly prefer Twrp cause it saves your efs and modem in seperate partitions for easy restore.
yes I know, but what are the steps so I can fully restore it as it was before without any bugs or failures.. only tap on restore?
Yes just tap on restore; it automatically wipes and restores each partition you've backed up.

in my experience, I always backup the ROM I'm using before flashing any new ROMs
in any ROM backup, I recommend that you checked the boot, system & data (I use TWRP recovery) if you want to revert to it later on
if all three items are checked, you can just restore it & it'll be the same as when you backed it up
as for the wipe, I always wipe (data, cache & dalvik cache) before flashing &/ restore anything, just to be on the safe side
