So I recently installed a new ROM and used mybackup root instead of titanium as the automated re installations of my apps was very tempting. However, upon trying to restore, it restored about 5 of my total apps. It lists all my apps in the program and just says: Nothing Restored. Is there a way to fix it? Or I was thinking if I installed Titanium could that somehow find all the backed up apps and reinstall them?
You can go to "SD CARD\rerware\MyBackup\" and there you should see the .apk's for all the apps you backed up. I haven't tried myself, but i'm pretty sure you could just install them. Might take a bit longer, but I'm not sure about the cross-compatibility between the 2 programs.
What about contacts? How do you back up those?

Those should be syncing automatically with your google account. Go into your gmail account and click on contacts on the side.
Will this work even if the contact says phone only?

No, those you must manually backup, or you could add them to your Google contact list and then they will be backed up automatically upon sync.
Ok, thanks

I want to upgrade to the latest Fresh ROM, but it requires a wipe.
Is there a way to backup my contacts and restore them after the wipe?
if your contacts are synced to your google account then they will be automatically restored after you login on first boot. to check, login with your gmail, click contacts, and hopefully they're listed there.
otherwise, search the market for contact backup and you should find tons of apps.
I'll do that, thanks!
All you got to is go to your contact app is called people the hit menu and export to sdcard if you want them back just do the same put this hit import hope that helps

On a side note, you can take that file you exported and import it into your google contacts.
Yeah that too
Yo. So, I've been wanting to experiment with CM6 because you guys rant and rave over it, so I change my bootloader and nandroided my Fresh 3.3 setup. I have a Titanium from my Fresh 3.3 days as well.
So, how do I get my contacts/apps/settings and stuff back? This rom is obviously AOSP, so my settings for Sense-based applications don't have a place. What about my contacts? They were in my HTC Contacts app. Is there a way to transfer them to the stock Android Contacts app?
Should I restore my Titanium backup, or is that a bad idea because this is AOSP? I searched, but no luck. I'm sure somebody's done this.
Edit: Also, in other news, I don't have a data connection. Was there a radio update I should've done or something?
Bump. Come on, I want to use CM6 to its fullest. I tried another search and I can't find much.

The easiest way to back up contacts with aosp is with gmail and google apps.
The contacts should have synced into your Google/Gmail account. If it didn't, you probably messed up by disabling background syncing either completely or by disabling contact syncing specifically.
Mybackup..for everything.

Thanks for the responses. So, Google should have put my contacts back on by now? I have automatic sync enabled and everything, but I've never had it restore my contacts before. I signed into Google upon installing the gapps zip on the CM6 page, but still no contacts.
Also, can I hit restore "all data and apps" and stuff in Titanium, or is that a bad idea?

Better question: Did you have background sync, your Google Account, and Google Sync enabled back on your previous ROM?
Check https://www.google.com/contacts to be sure.
I ended up nandroiding back to my Fresh setup, exporting my contacts to my SD and then going back to CM6 and importing them. Then Google synced them without any problems. The apps don't really matter.
I'm really digging CM6. I thought I would miss Sense a lot and switch back after an hour, but this is awesome.

Hey all,
Been having an issue and wanted to know if anyone has experienced the same thing.
I recently added a second Gmail account for my school email, and the first time it automatically downloaded some apps that I guess were downloaded from the market under that account. This is fine and I expected that, however...
I deleted all of the apps it downloaded because I don't want them anymore. A little while later it proceeded to download them all AGAIN without me doing anything. I deleted them a second time and then when I got home and connected to the wifi, it again downloaded all of the same apps.
Any idea on why it is doing this?
Thanks

Thanks. So it's normal for it to "restore" my apps more than once after adding an account, and after I delete them multiple times?

When I go to the play store the apps I purchased say I didn't buy them. Gmail won't sync. Samsung account won't sync. My contacts won't sync and mostly every thing else like this. Execpt my yahoo mail with the stock email app does sync. I have sync on. I have even tried manually doing it. Everything looks normal. I have tried several different roms clean install every time and this is without adding, changing anything. I have no trouble signing into any account. Its just that nothing is there.
Now here is the really weird part. I made a backup of my rom before I started flashing and when I restore my backup EVERYthing is find play store recognizes I purchased my apps everything syncs. I have never seen this before and I have now spend all my time for the last three days looking for an answer and I found some things to try but none of them worked. I tried clearing app data, uninstalling updates, reinstalling them, and some other things I'm forgetting right now. The only thing I can think of at this point is to unroot and go back to stock. I'm hoping that you guys will have some advice for me. Thanks

Has anybody seen this before? Am I missing something here? I thought for sure someone would have some thoughts on this.

Long story short I never figured this out just went back to stock and everything is good now. Weird.

After flashing a new ROM and opening S Note, I see all my notes for a second then a dialog box pops up and says syncing. After about 5 seconds all my notes are erased. I have a nandroid backup and all my stuff backed up through Titanium, but no matter what I seem to do they get erased upon opening S Note for the first time. I've tried turning airplane mode on first, deleting the Samsung account and somehow it still syncs and deletes all the notes. Since I have this backed up, is there any way to extract the notes from either the nandroid or the Titanium backup? Thanks!

Are the notes not synced then on your Samsung account? I know little of the SNote sync functionality, but if they are properly synced to your samsung account up front (this of course assumes things are working on samsungs end) all should be well. On the surface it sounds like there are no SNotes stored on your samsung account so it is syncing an empty SNote list to your phone. I am of limited help on this though - sorry!
Is there an s Note folder in your internal sd card? I don't have a Samsung account, but when mine syncs that what it us syncing with. It's basically just updating the app

Yeah the folder is empty. I'm assuming it erased all of it, and a nandroid backup wouldn't include those files. I had turned sync off before because this happened in the past, and sure enough I accidentally enabled s note sync in this most recent flash and it erased them all instead of copying them to the server like it should have. Grrrrrr. Thanks though, I guess they're all gone permanently.
Do you all use sync? I also turned it off because of the massive wake locks it was giving me.
