Hello all,
I installed MIUI rom on my galaxy S I900which seems to be working fine.
Prior to this I had made a full titanium backup of system data and apps
Now after resetting rights to TB, I would like to restore my contacts and messages.
As I set the folder location and go to backup/restore and contacts item, TB has well detected my backup with the correct date and time at which I made it.
The problem is TB displays a message data restored successfully but my contacts list is empty.
Same problem with messages.
Please help i really need this data back.
Thanks in advance
Wrong forum, mate
In general though, it's inadvisable to restore system apps or data with TiBu, especially going between TouchWiz/Sense and AOSP, which MIUI is.
System apps are generally dependent on framework proprietary to TW, and that framework isn't present on AOSP.
For contacts, migrate them all to google contacts, so you never have to worry again.
For messages, try SMS backup and restore (free in market)

Dear All
Having a rooted Desire with Froyo and Apps2SD+, i needed to migrate to a bigger 16 GB card. In that (failed) effort I decided to remove all apps and then restore them.
I backed them up via MybAckup Pro and Titanium Backup. Then, after reboot, no backups were detected by TB. I even wrote to the support but no answer. I had to revert to MyBackup Pro which apparently had a mind of its own regarding which apps to restore. Now Google Maps is missing on my phone and neither will it install. Also, com.gapps are closing on me every minute.
I have decided to do a factory reset but it'd be nice if a few questions are answered first:
1) I understand that NANDROID is the best way to back up; however, it doesn't provide me a way to restore apps one by one or in batches. Any solutions?
2) When I do a factory reset, will I end up with a clean phone with root and my current custom ROM, or the phone as it came from Orange?
3) Is there a way to install Google Maps and to remove the gapps errors without factory reset?
4) If I restore from NANDROID after factory reset, will all the errors/instability come back as well?
Thanks
1) Nandroid does an image of your custom phone, like for example Norton Ghost would do. Its like saving the setup/state of the phone at the time you do the backup.
2) A factory reset deletes all user data. You end with your current ROM as it was a clean install, it will not change the ROM you're using. If you're using a custom ROM you will still be with that custom ROM.
3) Can't Google Maps be downloaded from Market? Also you can try to extract the .apk from a ROM and copy it to yours via adb for example. As for the errors I dont really know if they're because data corruption and a reset will fix them or its the apk that isnt working as intended.
4) As I said earlier, doing a Nandroid is doing an image of the current state of the phone. If you do a Nandroid of a phone that has errors and you restore it, the errors wont disapear.
If you want to have a backup of the list of apps you already have you can use AppBrain. Its a little app that syncs your list of apps from the phone into a google account so when you do a full wipe you have only to install that app again and sync with the saved google list of apps. It wont save the data of the aplications but it will save the list of the ones you've installed.
Azureus: That is a most helpful reply, I sincerely appreciate it.
Google maps is not appearing in the market. I tried to sideload it and it still doesn't install. Thanks for the GREAT AppBrain trick.
I would appreciate if you could answer:
1) Which is the best, most stable custom ROM to use with official Froyo+Sense, Apps2SD+ ? I have doubts about stability of current ROM.
2) Which app can enable me to back up apps and then restore them one by one, given that Titanium Backup is not working for me somehow?
1) I personally use OpenDesire and its a non Sense UI ROM, so I dont really know what Sense UI ROM is the best. I've tryed several Sense UI ROMs and two that gave me a good feeling where LeeDrOiD Mod and the official Sense ROM of OpenDesire Team.
2) I've tryed several apps for data backups and the one that I liked most was Titanium Backup... May I ask why isnt working for you? I've tested both the free and donate version and they seem to work pretty well...
Thanks. Will try Leedroid now.
As for titanium, or backs up everything all right but when I try to restore it shows nothing. Don't know why is that
Titanium Backup saves the backups by default in a folder as the same name as the app in your SD. Have you tried deleting all the folder and doing backups again to see if the restore works? You can also go to settings and change the default folder in which it saves the backup to see if its a problem with de folder/SD or its the app.
My day to day rom is Shinzul's CM7 G. However, I wanted to have a Sense rom on hand that I can restore on occasion. I chose MikFroyo, which I liked a lot.
Before flashing MikFroyo I backed up my SMS, MMS and CALL LOG with MyBackupPro. I also backed up my apps with data (non system apps.) After, flashing MikFroyo and installing MyBackupPro I attempted to restore the SMS, MMS and CALL LOG. When I chose the restore option it said that I didn't not have a backup to restore to. No idea why it wasn't able to access it because I definitely did do a backup.
When I tried to restore my apps with data it seemed to go through ok. However, after trying to open a few apps I got FC. Namely a few of my games, such as Angry Birds and Flick Kick Football. I uninstalled these apps and then I just restored the APK w/o the data. The app restored just fine, however, I really wanted the data.
Trying to restore apps with data on Titanium had a similar problem. The programs would FC and I would only be able to restore the APK w/o the data. This really sucks! Is this a known issue when trying to restore apps + data when going from AOSP to Sense and vice versa?
Someone help, because if nothing else I need to be able to restore my MMS/SMS and my Angry Birds data!
Anyone have any input?
Im not sure, I use titanium pro and never had that issue. Did you go to the website and look at the trouble shooting section yet? Maybe its a bad backup.
That's the reason in a nutshell. You're not suppose to restore your data from AOSP to Sense, and vice versa. Try App only, and post your results after.
Hello, i have a problem with the restore of my apps after flashing a custom rom (Leedroid, of course). I’m running Leedroid 2.5.0. I make a backup of my apps trough Titanium. Then I flash rom and restore all my apps with Titanium. Everything seems to be ok but when I try to restore my desk applications, contact list, accounts …. From Titanium, I have several problems such as Contact applications which get a Force Close error. HTC logo appears when I quit an application and come back to Home…
What do I make wrong?
A lot of system applications do not work with data restores as the formats mights be incompatible between ROMS. This is especially true when changing from Sense to Nonsense ROMS but it seems that this is not the case with you.
Fortunately, the contact list is usually backed up to your email account, and should be restored by a sync, so there is no need to use Ti for it. I think its best to enter the account information manually and then restore the other system apps one by one, checking for FCs each time.
I'm not sure by what exactly you mean by desk applications but to this day I have not successfully restored the entire home screen configuration (esp widgets) between installation of launchers and this goes for Rosie, ADW and Go.
if it helps MIUI rom has its own backup function and i feel its much more reliable.

+1 But don't backup your contact list. Already backuped with your google account
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 can't I'm not alowed. Please help I don't kknow what to do
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!!

Got another mind bongler with my first time flashing. I'm using titanium backup and since I'm gonna flash from stock note 2 with touchwiz to CM with vanilla android, am I supposed to backup all user apps + system data? I've read that if you restore touchwiz apps and Samsung closed network apks onto a phone without touch wiz or the stock rom it might mess your phone up or put it in a loop. So... 1)do I back up everything and then when I restore do I only select my user apps(apps ive downloaded) and system data(sms, contacts, etc)? Or do I restore everything on to my phone after I wiped and flashed? 2) are the red labeled apps the apps I'm supposed to not restore? Do I restore the white, green and yellow labled apps only? This is all on titanium backup premium edition! Thank you for the help!
NEVER RESTORE SYSTEM APPS. It will mess up your phone especially if it replaces important things like settings.apk or systemui. Just do your user apps and you should be fine but a lot of people nowadays say its just better to redownload everyting off the play store
Does Cyanogenmod come with no apps? Except for the basic system apps like phone dialer contacts camera etc. And your sure just user apps will be okay? What about my system data? Like messages emails, and call logs?

Ya it only has basic system apps then whatever they are bundling nowadays (focal, cm file manager ect) you need to flash a gaaps package to get the play store, youtube,gmail ect. User apps should be fine. Call logs and messages need to be backed up with a third party app. I think you can back up messages to a .xml in tibu. Email should auto back up and redownload when you sign in
Call logs and messages can be backed up with titanium, and restored. I do it all the time.

You can backup and restore your non-system apps, the ones downloaded from the Play Store for example, but you shouldn't restore the app data until you know what you are doing (some will work, some won't) - apk's only.
You definitely don't want to backup and restore system apps as mentioned above.
You can backup and restore text messages, phone log and such, but not settings etc.
Don't bother with calendar entries and contacts, they should be backed up and restored by Google
