I'm using Cyanogen 6.1 and I've backed up with TB. Which line contains my backed up messages?

Im wondering that too. I just loaded a new rom and lost all my messages. I don't remember this happenning in the past.

I didn't know Titanium backed up messages glad i looked at this thread
If, for example, you were on Cyanogen 6.1.1, backed up everything, wiped and flashed it back from scratch, then batch restored everything and rebooted, you would get your messagees back. However, if you do something like that, it's probably because you were having issues, and you likely DON'T want to restore everything.
Does nobody know the answer to this?
There are 2 backups that start with [SMS...] one is dialer storage which I think holds the messages. The other says prefs so I assume it's just message settings. I restore both so I can't tell you exactly which one it is.
They are both green by the way. One is a bit further down the list from the other.

Just wanted to know if anyone else had issues with this rom endlessly force closing and rebooting until you pull battery. And if so were you able to fix or correct it?

When you flashed the ROM did you go into recovery and wipe/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache (found in advance)? You have to do that before flashing to different ROM's.
Another issue that may have caused it is if you did a restore of all your apps with Titanium Backup. I'm guessing it's the second one because that happens a lot when you overwrite apps that came with the ROM.
I prefer to redownload all my apps manually and I only use Titanium backup to restore the data portion of the app after I installed it. An example would be restoring my data for the game Angry Birds so I don't have to start the whole game all over again.
Yeah I wiped everything its not my first rom but I think it was when I did my restore from titanium backup

I'm having the same problem. If i try to restore data from a nandroid backup it either never boots or the screen stays black. I need all my backed up data so unless this get fixed i can't play with it. I was really looking forward to making that rom my daily too!
I had the same issues when i tried gengersense originally.... defiantely the titanium backup issues... i've started only using that as a good list of apps and for user data. I've used it to restore apps sometimes they don't end up working right. BTW even the synergy nightlies work well enough to be a daily... my favorite rom yet.
Plus one on the titanium.
When coming from a different rom, only restore apps and app data, kind of a hassle but dont restore settings, it jacks stuff up

My 4g radio recently crapped out on my phone, so I have to go get a new epic. My question is, if my current phone is rooted and I have a nandroid backup, can I restore everything back to the new epic once I root it?

I just hour my new phone yesterday. Personally I backed everything up using titanium backup pro. Once I got my new phone rooted and installed my rom and my theme I was running before hand I restored just the apps in tb no data. I'm just manually setting everything up again as its a fresh phone and it deserves a fresh start.
A good idea before installing all your apps again is to see what your phone can handle as far as oc and uv. That way your not fighting the apps fc when testing your limits

Alright, thanks for the response. Sounds like a good idea.

Yesterday I upgraded to CM7.1 from CM7.0.3
Everything was working great, until I tried re-installing the drivers for the Call Recorder app (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048195 )
Later, the camera wasn't working, and the phone wouldn't mount to my computer!
So I restored the backup I had made that morning after flashing the upgraded CM and I end up with a fresh wipe! I thought the backup would basically be a saved state of the rom. Or did I do something wrong? I was using CWM 3.0.2.4 I believe, not version 5
So, in case anyone was wondering, I did lightly search the subject, and I don't believe my problem is as severe as the other cases I've found. Some people are simply unable to restore any backups, while I was somewhat still able to.
What I hope to do is to be able to retrieve the app data from this final backup. Possible?

You didn't happen to backup this app/data with Titanium did you? That would be the simplest method to restore a particular application and data...

unfortunately not. I used to use titanium routinely, but after using recovery, I thought it was redundant.

I've had this problem on every ROM I've tried but one. Everything is working fine until I restore apps with titanium backup then MMS won't send. They just hang. I don't know what app is doing it or if it's just the act of restoring the data. Really giving me fits. The only ROM that MMS worked after the restore was CleanRom 2.0. I thought it may have had something to do with touchwiz since I did not have it on that install, but further testing has shown that is not the case. I'm stumped. Any Ideas?
I've restored 3 times and is worked every time for me so I can say it does work. Not store what to tell you add to why yours is having issues. Maybe check the apn and make sure incorrect settings aren't getting restored or changed.

Are u guys restoring system apps ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Don't restore system apps, system data or system processes with Tibu. User apps and data only. Restoring system apps will cause some of them not to work, and can destabilize your ROM. Fixing permissions doesn't solve it.
Do a full, clean wipe reinstall and restore only user apps. You'll have to re-do your system settings manually, yeah, but that takes ten minutes or so if you note what you've done down before wiping.
Ya....What he said

Restored system data only and apps and data but I only restored system data that I needed like email accounts and stuffand everything works perfectly.

I'm an idiot
Just found the problem. It seems AdblockPlus was blocking mms (wtf?) but once I turned it off they went just fine.
I never restore system data/apps... just user apps and I only restore data to games I have put a lot of time in or others that would take too long to restore the hard way.
Need to do it this way

before i take the red pill and flash the wicked rom, what is the best method to save personal data phone #,contacts, calendar appointments, email passwords, alarms, etc.?
the wicked rom says not to backup system apps, does that include app data?
thanks
Titanium Backup. You can restore app settings, say alarm clock settings, Temple Run accomplishments, etc.
I just export my contacts to my sd card and import back on a new rom. You can also link your contacts to a Google account.
I run Wicked, never had any issues at all.

Don't forget to make a backup through recovery just incase something goes wrong. You'll have something to fall back on.

Like said, make sure you make a backup through your recovery as well! Something unexpected might happen an it will save you much time.

well all would have been well, but apparently titanium did not know that i was using an s3 and must have saved back up to internal.
all i could find was my old backups from my old phone.

Search your internal storage, it shouldn't of been deleted. Go through a file manager and if you can find it, go to titanium >preferences >and restore location.

yeah, you have to change backup location in titanium settings. In the S3, it uses your internal memory as an internal sdcard. That is where it saves all your personal junk by default. When you wipe though, it is possible to wipe without wiping that data, a factory reset should be enough. If you change in settings though, you would need to configure it to use your external sd card.
