Is there a way to create a flashable zip to reinstall all my apps in one swoop. Currently when I restore from a titanium backup I have to press install on each app which takes quite sometime just curious if there was a quicker and more effective way to restore apps + data

The full version of titanium backup does all the installs with one click. Well worth the $6.XX.

totally worth every penny!
Also...I recommend you only restore app data....system data always seems to mess things up for me.
Use batch restore does em all at once

I thought he was talking about having to hit accept from the market for every app. Looking back though it can be for either or, but since he had backups I'd like to hope he batched them lol.
If you were talking about restoring them all (Not the install each individual from market popup) you can go to:
Backup/Restore > hit menu > Batch > Run restore all apps,

It does it either way. The only difference is if you're on the free version, you have to manually install it, it'll go app, press to install, app, press to install, until it does all of them. On the paid version, it does all of them, without you accepting each time.
Paid version of Titanium is the best money I've spent on my Evo yet (followed closely by Root Explorer). Sooooo worth it for that feature.

I came over from windows mobile and am some what of an android noob. After you flash a ROM is there anyway to restore apps so they dont lose data, I dont want to start over on amgry birds.

I use MyBackupPro, there's also Titanium Backup. Both are paid applications in the market.

Using Clockwork Recovery (check development forums), and depending on the flashing instructions, I usually:
save the rom to Sdcard/
boot into clockwork
backup and restore > backup (makes a full backup)
Wipe Data, (clear cache if they tell you to),
apply zip (rom) from SD
then back to Backup and Restore > advanced > select your backup > restore Data only.
Then reboot, and you should be good to go with your saved Angry Birds game
Mybackup pro worked like a charm.

Mybackup works well but you on't want to backup and restore data if you frequently switch roms/kernels. So if it's just the apk you are trying to save then astro more than gets the job done.

Lol, that's what I get for not paying attention to the op.
Titanium Backup Pro will restore your backup with one click. It has saved countless hours from switching ROMS all the time. It is well worth it to get the paid app because you can let it start restoring and walk away. The free app requires you to click "Yes" to restore each app, one at a time.
I also use the back up and restore feature of LauncherPro so I don't have to keep redoing my home screen setups.
Once you have these two apps in play you don't have to be shy about trying as many different ROMs as possible.

Is APK Batch Installer, [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880 ], a better option ?
Or, in the end all data restoring is not a good idea if switching between android versions?
All data restorations can cause problems, not just TB.

I'm currently using mybackup pro to do backups and restores between rom installs. It retains market links, application databases, and other system settings. My only problem is that it is SO SLOW to backup and restore. It takes probably over and hour to backup my applications and another hour to restore them. I don't even have that many. Is there any quicker way of doing this? I'd like to be able to install a new rom sometime before the singularity.

Go to the Market and use Titanium backup. It backs up your apps over to your SD card along with app data. You can batch the backups and restores as well as schedule your backups. You can also use AppBrain. It updates which apps you download from the Market and then does a back up. But I think App brain only works with market apps. I'm not 100% on Appbrain.

The back up takes me a few minutes. 10 if I have a ton of apps. The restore is pretty annoying since you have to click install for EVERY APP YOU HAVE.

I realized this after running a backup and installing a new rom. Looks like you have to buy the pro version. I did and it restores automatically.

Ok so, I'm looking to change my Google account, right after a full wipe and everything. But i want to keep all my apps and their data. So my question is...what do I need to select in Titanium to do this? I tried not restoring system data, but that didn't work. So i guess I'm wondering if there's some way I can still get most of my stuff back without getting the Google account settings back.

You go into titanium backup press menu/batch then pick the second option backup all user apps.
After you are backup after your wipe open titanium backup press menu/batch then pick the 9th option, restore missing apps with data then you should be good to go

Well, hi everyone!
The thing is that I'd like to know if there is a way to install multiple apps in one hit (or maybe a couple) because I use Titanium back up which works grate its very useful, but when you wipe and flash and have a few apps, it gets kind of annoying that it prompt you before installing every app, at first seems like no biggie but when you do it weekly (or more) is no longer the same feeling.
And you can create that file to install Titanium Back Up from the recovery, is there a way to do that with other apps, or perhaps putting the apk files (from the TBU folder ) on a zip file, will it install the apks from CWR? Even if is just the app without the data, I could restore that with TB. I know that the files on the update.zip that TB create isn't an apk, but there's gotta be a way to do this.
Any thoughts?

The pro version of TiB doesn't prompt you for each app, it batches the whole process
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
In tibu hit your phones menu key then "batch". I think there is also a batch apk installer program for windows floating around somewhere Im sure you could find it with a search.
That's what the pro version is for. Batch restore with no clicking. That's how they get you
Its totally worth a few $ to not have to click through every restore.
Thanks will get pro then, thou still would be good to install from the CWR, you know, flash the ROM flash the apps, ready to go.
But thanks for the quick replay.

Even if you only flash a few ROMs here and there, the Pro version is easily worth the money! Just hit one button and go drink a beer while it installs lol.
so i have calk vs. 2.5 and i want unnamed rom with all my app's. so when i go into recovery do i need to format all data or can i just instal the rom ??? and ik u can use titanium backup but in titanium backup is there a button restore all backed up apps? thanks!
In order to flash a completely different ROM, you need to wipe data, which will erase your current ROM and apps. You will need to use Titanium Backup to restore your apps after formatting and flashing the new ROM.
I think (not positive) TB has a batch option to restore all user apps.

Back up your apps on the current rom you are running. Use Titanium back up from the market. I usually wipe data and then back up the app. Go down the list until you got all the ones you wanted.
When you flash the new rom, flash it normally as you would going to any new rom. I use Calkulin's FORMAT ALL zip folder. It's easiest. And then flash new rom and reboot system. After you let the rom settle in for a good while, I usually reboot the phone. Then when you start setting up on the new rom, download Titanium back up again from the market. Once it's on your phone, go into the app and all the apps you backed up should be at the bottom. I usually just restore the app not the data with it.
Try not to restore system apps + data because it can cause problems when switching between ROMS.

I've never even found myself backing up/restoring system apps. I just stick to the "user apps".

Yes. Click menu then batch but it only works with the paid version of TB. I've had plenty of problems restoring apps and user data with TB on a new Rom. Yes it's quick and easy but in my opinion it's worth the time to reinstall everything you can fresh from the market.
I've always found switching roms a good time to clear out unneeded apps, just select the ones I really use and forget the rest.

Agree with this sentiment. Connected to Wi-Fi and take 10 minutes to fresh install everything so you know you aren't getting any of the conflicts that can arise using restored apps from different firmware.
