When using Titanium Backup, what options should be backed up if you want to later restore all your android settings and your google and facebook accounts?

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. And yes, this would work. But, I would prefer not to back up every single system setting (and system app) that is backed up when you back up EVERYTHING. I.e, that's like copying the entire phone book so that you can later get John Smith's phone number.
So what I am asking is _which_ system settings do you select for backup to backup your google and facebook accounts and which system settings do you select for backup to backup the settings in the settings menu (ringtone, screen shutoff time, brightness, etc)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Read the application or check out the TB forums, the application itself tells you what the different color codes mean and by reading the names it should be a simple ting to figure out.
If you need the exact names, let me know, my hourly rates are reasonable.

I have read through the options and filtered them too. If I found the right entries, I wouldn't have made a forum post asking. Does anyone have an answer?

I too would like to know.
I have read all that I can as well and I just don't want to miss anything, but like the OP, I don't want to have to backup EVERYTHING, that is pointless. Please, any help would be appreciated.

I do not get why you guys don't want to just do a full backup, mine takes a few megs and I have 140 applications. These phone come with 8 gig cards, use the memory, it takes me maybe 2 minutes to fully backup. Might as well, then you have everything in case of an issue.

The names of backups are pretty self explainitory. If you want to be sure, I would do a complete backup of all system+apps+data and then do a nandroid backup. Flash a stock rom and then reinstall the backups one at a time to see what they do and if you have the right ones you want. Then restore your nandroid.

A lot of people do not want to blindly back up everything on the phone. Then, what's the point in getting new ROMs? What if they add new versions of some of the software and you flash a new ROM only to revert that software? Nobody running Windows, for example, will do a full copy of their harddrive for the purpose of restoring their apps and contacts upon installing a new version of Windows.
So, I ask politely, PLEASE, if you don't know the answer, please don't state that the question is wrong when it isn't. Please don't state that if I just read the list, I'll find it. I get it. You do not know the answer to the question and finding such answer is not important to you. You feel that backing up the entire phone, the wifi/4g/bt widgets, a copy of sense, and everything else is okay and that's great. That's not what I intend to do even if my card were 64 gigs.
So, what I would like to know, as would another poster, is "Does anybody know what to backup if you wish to backup your google and facebook names as well as all the settings such as screen brightness, screen timeout, sound volumes, alert tone selections, and everything else under the menu using Titanium Backup?"

Did anyone know the answer!?

,,,,To what question? And go revival.

Question is on first post....

You can backup and restore anything you want with tb, but if you switch roms don't restore ANY system apps + data. That can mess things up. Only backup/restore user apps + data if you switch roms. If you're having problems with a rom and you're gonna wipe and start over, then restoring system stuff might be a bad idea because some setting or app might be the cause
We're comin from a pure power source.

Wouldn't have said it any different.

I do a lot of rom flashing and trying out of apps so I have two different backup schedules set up. I do a weekly backup of all application and data; then another schedule will run two times a week to backup all newer apps and data. If I know that I am going to flash another rom I will do a quick backup of all apps and data.
When I format and restore I will run a batch (Menu > Batch > Restore missing apps (or all apps) with data); then I will go through the list and choose the applications & data that I want to reinstall. Sometimes I will download a few programs from the market instead of restoring them, just to make sure that everything is clean (hence restore missing apps instead of all apps).
I never backup or restore any systems apps or data. This will be pulled from whatever Rom I am flashing.

This is what I backup nightly for the 'important' stuff.

The adw launcher and gosms also have an option to backup settings, although I'm use I can use TB to back those up too.
As for the rest of the system settings, I haven't looked to see what specifically needs to be enabled to back that up.

I've found that most of the system data that it flags in green is safe to restore. Usually.

I've never been able to back up my "accounts & sync" that's all I want to backup at the moment ... or is there an app that can do this???

Full Wipe, What Do You Loose?

looking to try a new ROM (curently using revolution 2.0.12), most/all gingerbread ROM require a full wipe but what do i loose doing that?
Is the SDcard left untouched?

Practically everything (contacts, apps, sms, email, settings, calls etc.)
that has to do with the Rom. Also if you use app2sd your ext partition will be wiped. You won't lose anything that is on the fat32 partition (such as files, pictures, mp3s etc)

I think these threads answers your question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
If you use that tool all you have left after wiping is what is on your sdcard so you need to have the ROM zip on you sdcard and install it immediately after wiping with no reboot in between. You can't reboot in between as you will have just wiped all the files needed to be able to boot.

Although a full wipe is going to clear you out, don't forget if you are signed into google and allowing it to back up your data, all your contacts and apps will be restored to your new rom after signing into your google account.

What about Mobile Network Settings?

1. So the Mobile Network Settings are untouched and we don't have to enter them after a new rom?
2. Only after a new radio?
Cheers for the info. Getting the APN right is the only thing stopping me from rooting and flashing so far..

you will lose your apn settings, but you can bach them up with titanium backup. Also in most roms apns are included

You will certainly lose all of your data and settings, as for any apps on the ext partition of your sd card(if you have) i dont know. Anyway, to take it from the start im assuming that you are rooted since you run a custom rom. Read the whole post before doing anything
1.download rom manager from the market and take a nandroid backup of your system with your current sd and sim
2.download titanium backup and go to batch backup all apps and system data
3.flash the new rom
4.download titanium backup and go to batch restore missing apps
With the above procedure you transfer your apps from the old rom to the new rom, while you keep a backup of your whole system in case something goes wrong so you can reverse it. Now for the data
1. Download mybackup pro and take a data backup in your sd
2.download again in the new rom and restore everything
If you follow the above you should have in your new rom all your apps, all your data and all your settings

So if Titanium Backup can save the APN and APN login passwords etc. and I can back that up and flash a new rom, how do I restore those APN settings? Which app do I use? ie. I can't download it from the Market again without the APN settings and password to gain Network access? Can we backup the titanium app too before flashing a new rom?
(I flashed Windows Mobile loads of times but the first time cost me 1000 dollars (equivalent in Japan) because I got the Access Point details wrong and was charged the wrong data plan. This is the only reason I'm being extra careful some 2 years later.. cos I'm skint.)
Cheers.

You mean that you don't have access to a wireless connection/router/hotspot ?

That I can't understand, how can you pay more with wrong apn? I have only two apn, and the new one are only allowing faster internet. and the data plans are configured by operator and can't be changed by changing apn!

Nova Launcher back up and restore

I just upgraded aokp tasks 650 2.20 and I want to restore my nova launcher settings and screens. When I click restore no file to choose. I even tried moving back up file with astro....
Thanks in advance,

Do I need the prime version of nova launcher for backup and restore capabilities?

some recoveries, older versions for the most part, tend to put your files into a deeper level on your internal memory.
Example : /storage/emulated/0 becomes /storage/emulated/0/0
Check to see if this is the case, and if so move your files to the top level (/storage/emulated/0) and see if that corrects your problem.
Let us know if it works or if this is not the case so we can troubleshoot further. =)

No, you do not need the prime version. The backup and restore feature comes standard with the free version of the app. I have used both nova and apex to perform backup and restores and I haven't paid for either launcher.
It's possible your backup got corrupted some how. To find out if its the backup files or the app, try the following:
1.) Make a current backup of what you have on the screen.
2.) Make some changes to the settings / screen.
3.) Restore your newly made backup.
Report back and let me know if this works. This will allow us to at least rule out an issue with the app itself.

The original backup file should be placed wherever your new backup file was created. In other words, take the *.novabackup and place it in the same directory as the backup you just created. The path for nova backups should be /data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup
If you do this and nova still doesn't read it, then there is a problem with the original backup. If that is the case, the file is corrupted and cannot be fixed.
I just attempted to backup, wipe my phone, flash a ROM, and restore using the same backup without issue by placing my backed up file in the path above. Its not nova, its definitely something with your backup file.
Also, make sure you didn't change the name or extension of the file. It should be named *.novabackup where * is the original name you chose for this backup.

There's already a few pages of this so it might've been mentioned, but for me this works:
Copy files from main storage/0/0 to just storage/0. Then CREATE a back up...then go to restore and Nova should discover all your existing back ups.

Same problem. Easier with AirDroid

I've struggled with that problem as well. It seems that upon installing Nova Launcher on devices that the /data/ subdirectory isn't automatically created. I don't know if it's due to the lack of a removable SD card or what. I finally decided today to try creating the necessary subdirectories using AirDroid and connecting to my device that way. I suppose it could also be done with any file manager but since I had to factory reset my phone due to a bad CM 11 installation I didn't have a file manager available at the moment.
In AirDroid, you connect to your phone wirelessly (same Wi-Fi network) and then create the following subdirectories off of /sdcard/....
1. data
2. com.teslacoilsw.launcher
3. backup
If done correctly, you will be able to navigate to /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup/ via AirDroid or any file manager.
Then add the Nova Launcher backup file in the backup folder, and...
After that when you initiate a RESTORE the backup file will show in the BACKUPS dialog within Nova Launcher.

HTC One Nova Back up Location>
/Storage/emulated/0/data ( there is 2 data folder one with .data and other only data, u go on data with out dot ) / com.teslac....../backup/ ( there is all you backup or past here if you backup online and want to restore it)

You are restoring your backups from recovery and not that application, right?
It could be possible that something went wrong during the backup of the ROM so when you restore it, it won't work.
I just recently updated to 2.5, when I have some free time on my hands I will try restoring a backup to see if it works.
If you think that its twrp (maybe you have a bad version of it) then back up everything on your phone (drag it out into your computer or something) and use wugfresh toolkit to put a new custom recovery of twrp on, and try it then.
Of course don't try that option if you don't have to since your you will lose everything on your phone!

Yes, I'm doing it from the recovery. And it's not backing up data. That's the only issue. And I'll try to do it

Oh, so the issue you have is not restoring data, its backup data? Well, I guess its restoring too because backing up data doesnt work.
I think it might be the twrp then. Hopefully it'll work after putting on twrp 2.5 again!

data.ext4.win is only 82MB, that seems small for the data partition unless you just backed up following a factory reset.
I would try copying data.ext4.win to a computer and opening it with WinRAR to see what is or isn't being backed up. Should have all kinds of apks in \app and folders in \data when you open it.

Does it give an error when backing up?
Are you running out of internal space for the backup to finish?

Yeah, I thought the files were to small in size. It restores but it's restores as if I just flashed a new rom.
•_•

Hi again so I just did a back up and restore and everything works fine.
cupfulloflol might be onto something, do you have enough space in your device?
EDIT:
OH! Do you have System, Data and Boot checked under Backup Device in Backup in TWRP?
Did you perhaps uncheck it by accident?

I had the same issue with the last 2 versions of it. It happens after a while had to fast boot clockworkmod to flash a new ROM because it wouldn't boot after that issue. Its strange.

How to backup Plants vs. Zombies with TiBackup?

Hi,
I Make progress of the game. I make backup. Then uninstall the game. Then Restore app plus data.
But the progress wouldnt restore. The game offers to download missing app data. After the download i am offered to create a new game profile.
So how should I backup this game and data?
Thanks.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

there may be a update available in the store you will have to download before restoring the app and data, because it sounds like the way your doing things inthe correct way but just check to see if there is an update in the store available for the plants vs zombies

Hi
Thanks. I tried that. There are no updates.
I tried by restoring app and data and then letting the app download its resources.
And tried to restore just the data after the app dowoaded all the resource files or updates.
Neither method worked.
This is the only app I cant backup and restore progress
Maybe plants vs zombies saves game data in sd card and titanium backup doesn't backup sd card content?

Is it possible to copy a few files to restore your game progress to a different device or after a restore?

Clear your PVZ2 cache after copying the files. Davlik cache too might be necessary. Credit to edroit below...

You should be able to clear the app cache without root. Not sure about the Davlik cache - I think the app I used to do that does require root.
App Cache - SETTINGS > APPS > PLANTS VS ZOMBIES 2
There's an option to clear the cache in there.
