Need to know somethin'...
When i go to backup/restore tab in TB every app got some sign. And I can make every backup except some apps with orange smileys?! What is that orange smileys means? I'm asking that 'cause I have to flash new Oxygen ROM completely clean, and can't restore CONTACTS backup. So it's very important to me (of course) to restore my contacts...
Press menu - legend
It means application + data (system).

Ok. Thanks so why can't restore contacts? that's what I want to know
Hello.
I never tried to restore system apps with titanium back-up, because of the incompatibility that may appear (with other ROM's) but instead I've used the MyBackUp Pro to restore contacts, SMS and Call Log. I went through 2 custom ROM's already and all good.
Another way of restoring contacts is to sync your Phone contacts with the Gmail Account, and when you're installing the new ROM (Sense has Google Apps already, AOSP don't, but may be available to download and flash separately) it will instantly sync and restore your accounts.
If further help needed, please post.

Are you S-Off?
Possibility is that TI Backup wants to move it (or some parts) to the system partition - so probably you need to S-Off your device.
I'm S-OFF and it works for me. Also, you need to check if the backed up and the current storage version is the same (e.g. 2.3.3)

So what should i use ?
Please help, because Titanium backup its not enough for me
Just run a search for what are you looking in the market.
I've done it for you : http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=backup+sms
And the first app that appeared to me seems to have pretty good feedback
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sms-backup/com.zegoggles.smssync
titanium back up ( I am using pro) backups EVERYTHING, including sms,contacts etc provided that you do not change rom. for example contacts in stock rom are backed up under the system app: Contacts Storage 2.2 (mostly all green highlighted elements are important)
Now if you want to change rom, I believe that titanium will only be usable for user apps..
I need that sms, calls , browser bookmarks and etc. have backuped too .
I searched this but couldn't find an answer to this specific question:
How can I backup my settings (home screen config, email accounts, calendars) and restore them after a full wipe and custom ROM install?
Thanks!
By the way, I am using Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 and want to upgrade to 2.0.12.
I have root, s-off, ClockWorkMod Recovery 3
Maybe I need to give some more background info.
I know how to backup and restore with Titanium Backup.
The problem is that I want to restore *only* the settings related to home (desktop), email, and calendars.
Thanks.

Don't know about android revolution but if you are using adw launcher you can backup up your desktop config from within that, calendar settings could be dealt with by google and my backup for email settings
I have downloaded MyBackup Root (free) and it lets me backup exactly what I wanted.
I still haven't tried the restore though... When I do I'll post back here.

When i saw your first post, i was going to ask you to use MyBackup pro works well...importing everything from 2.0.11 to 2.0.12 might cause problems.

I have used it this weekend. Restoring contacts resulted in double contacts (I assume it is because the phone downloaded them from Google).
My home screen was restored fine, but it used to be "Work" scene and it restored as "HTC" (default) scene.
Restoring Home, Contacts, Calendar, does not restore account information (I guess it is stored in System).
The big "how do you restore your apps and settings after flashing a ROM" thread?
Hi all,
Just rooted my phone a couple of days ago and been playing around with some ROMS.
Now I've found one to my liking so I am installing configuring everything again but what if there's a new version of my ROM I want to install, I have to do everything all over again which is a bit silly in this modern time
As I see it
- you have apps installed from market
- you have manually installed apps (e.g. modded widgets, applications and stuff)
I currently use Astro to backup the apps, this works well but
- the market doesn't recognize the apps (to do with market cache I suppose)
workaround: you can use the atrackdog app to follow application updates
- it doesn't restore app settings
some of my apps have backup mechanisms of their own but not all
I've flashed a GB rom now and I've selected the google backup option, is this reliable? What does it exactly backup?
Any other tools available? I heard about titanium back but also read stories where it doesn't always work.
Anyhoew: what do you use? what works for you?
Would be great if we could consolidate everything here and figure out the best/easiest way.
Cheers

Yes, they do.
ok great so how's the best way to use this?
I've downloaded the free version, and the busybox
I guess I have to use the filter for files of type "user" so I only see my apps?
which batch should I run then, backup all user data + system data?
*edit will this restore stuff like my launcher settings and design, email accounts in enhanced email and stuff like that too?
cheers

Don't know, just used it to backup my Angry Birds saves as the rest I do from scratch anyway

Almost everything will be restored. Free version will prompt for each app
Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Forgive any typos!
Be careful backing up system settings though as they often don't restore very well on different ROMs, i broke my first flash on Cyanogen by restoring bluetooth settings from a Sense ROM.
I use My backup Pro app for this
And I can backup and restore everything but the widgets
Open Titanium, click Backup/restore, hold down the menu key then go to batch, then backup all user apps. Don't back up system settings, as this will conflict with the new OS and cause instabilities. Android should auto backup Wi-Fi and calendars online for you, mine does, but it's Gingerbread 2.3.3 I'm not sure if this feature was around in the Froyo days.
Everything will be restored as it was, except widgets on the homescreen, you'll need to remove them and put them back on, all settings for them will save so you don't have to mess about customizing things.
You've probably worked it out by now, but just in case this is my 2 cents.
I'm using Titanium Backup for the Apps.
For the Messages I've got MyBackup and MIUI Backup but I prefer MyBackup because I've got different Roms.
But I never restore the System Settings.
I just don't factory reset, format, wipe or however you call it when I flash a rom, I lose the texts though.
good morning
I first want to apologize for my English, I write from Spain.
I use in my OneX the HD revolution mike rom 6.1.1. Mike currently has released the new version 7.0.0 on a new base of HTC.
The question I have is that I now fully configured 6.1.1 rom to my taste, and to load the new version 7.0 should do a full wipe.
You start from scratch you to configure, or you employ a program to backup and restore, and to write the roms automatically configured to your liking?
I have seen many people use the titanium backup, but as a new base, I have to copy EVERYTHING? I do not know if it really is effective
I hope you have understood me, thank you very much in advance!
I use Ultimate Backup Pro, but Titanium Backup Pro will also work...
Ultimate Backup Pro will let you restore all apps + data. That should take care of all your downloaded apps.
Ultimate Backup Pro also can take backup of your account settings (Google, Facebook, etc)
For SMS, Call Logs I use the following apps available in market
SMS Backup & Restore
Call Logs Backup & Restore
Contacts: Google, as I do not have any phone / SIM contacts. They will get loaded automatically once my Google Account Syncs
Never used the Backup tool, to restore home screens but you can give it a try... For me its just 5 minutes to setup all home screens (I take home screen screenshots to quickly remind me of what they looked like)
Hope its helpful...
My backup root is really good, will save apks, data, contact's and everything else you can think of.... And its free!

Titanium Backup for apps, games & data
SMS backup default for SMS
Up rom unlimited
but in the titanium brands copy it ALL? that would otherwise have to go manually selecting things.
And so it copies all, there will be things that "collide" with the new ROM ..
But I fear I have to copy all user apps and give, and copy the new ROM not work correctly.
If you invest in one single app for Android, it should be Titanium Backup Pro. If you only restore apps and apps data and NOT system data you will be just fine with every ROM upgrade. As was mentioned SMS Backup & Restore should be used for SMS backup, and it can also backup and restore call logs.
PS: The free Titanium Backup might be enough for you, but it can only restore apps and their data one by one, not automatically. But you might want to choose apps you restore anyway...
Hey,

I dont recommend restoring backups because arhd 7.0.0 is a new base
New base - you reinstall all your apps? Very funny Just dont restore system data...
I find a metod to prevent loose all. Before install new rom, do a backup old rom.
Factory reset
Install new rom
NO REBOOT!!
factory reset again
Avanced restore-restore data
Reboot and enjoy!!

hi guys newbie here,
I know this should probably be posted in the rom thread but due to lack of posts I cant ask the question there, I have installed ARHD 10.2 and now updated to 10.3 and on both versions of the rom get the notice ( on facebook / friendcaster ) - unable to enable notifications as your phone does not support push messages, everything else seems to be fine, just wondered if anyone has come across this or if there is something I have done wrong.
Again sorry if this is posted in the wrong place

google account seems installed and set up ( play is working fine and logged in with my google account on phone set up) anything else I should check? sorry like i said kinda new to this
I restored all apps and data with titanium
thanks for your response
I've seen this pop up a couple of times on the forum, but don't recall of there was a fix.
I would take a backup (if you have titanium, I'm assuming you're rooted, so both nandroid and titanium backup) and then factory reset, put your Google account back and try the apps again.
Once you've confirmed it works, use titanium to restore user apps and data, NOT system apps or data.
Hey,
maybe you should reflash 10.3.. and before that wipe data and wipe cache.. worked for me.
My push notifications work.
