Are you restoring system Data? If so then don't restore system data
Any custom ROM?

I have found that some apps hang when restoring, no matter with data or app only, I think some apps just don't like being backed up or restored.

I asked the titanium devs why I couldn't restore system apps, it just hangs. They said they do not support backing up and restoring system apps and that they provide disclaimers saying this.
I think the advertising of titanium makes it sound like this function is one of its main features so I was disappointed with this.

It's not an issue with system apps its random.
I can push apps to system, back them up, restore them and even do the same with native system apps so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Even trying to restore certain games causes titanium to hang eg. Angry birds.
Maybe its more of an issue backing up rather than restoring.

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.

But, devs and contributors keep saying,
Don't restore system stuff or apps + data using Titanium, it will cause issues

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.

When I do a titanium backup should I do system apps too?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the same question.
Doesn't seem like you can restore system apps other than the data.
Are there particular system apps that it would be useful to restore the data after flashing a new rom?
I don't see an option to backup system apps. I see backup all user apps, backup all system data, and backup all user apps + system data. I do the backup all user apps + system data, then restore missing apps + all system data.
TB will backup pretty much all user-installed apps, bloatware and sense/HTC apps, but not kernel-related stuff I believe.
Hello everyone i'm just stopping by to reach my 10 limit posts so i can make a post in the developers threads.

At least you're honest.
I am using titanium pro and as I sample different roms, I wonder if I am messing up new rom installations by restoring too much.
Is there any kind of system data or app that should not be backed up and restored? Or a rule of thumb to use as a guide?
One more question, my backed up data now includes full back up from Stock, MikFroyo and CM7. Is this a mess and does it hurt to layer a backup from one rom over another?
The wisdom of experience is appreciated!

Ive used ti backup for about a year now, I just backup user apps + data. Different roms use different or themed system apps so restoring something from a different rom can cause issues. I would just stick with user apps
No matter what I change in the CM settings menu it won't show any of the different styles or show music player widget controls. Help?
No sliders or rotary screens? Try wiping / reflashing, redownload the ROM while you're at it. Should clear it right up.

You can't really do that, it'd restore system data as well. Use titanium backup or mybackup root from the market to back up your apps, and then restore when you reflash.
thanks man you always answer me haha
No problem, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot&feature=search_result
that's what I use for my app backups, it provides more functionality than the free version of Titanium backup

I'll have to check this one out, I wasn't a huge fan of Titanium's interface personally.
I actually had a bad experience with that app I linked. It backs up apps fine, but when I restored them after flashing something, half the apps just force closed. I had to restore the APK's without the data and re set everything up, pissed me off. It may not happen to you, just be warned.
Im stuck after doing a Titanium restore
Can someone clarify if one should only backup apps when doing a TB or is it ok to do apps + data? this is based on a concern of moving from different roms. thx.
Just backup Apps. Restoring system data will screw things up if you're switching between different roms. The data on your apps should be still there. For example, my profiles on SetCPU were still present after I completely wiped my phone/cache and restored my apps.

the size of the back up is 4.71 GB... I dont know what the problem is. I dont remember clicking or unclicking backup data partion. I was just so used to using cwm recovery.

at 4.71gb(that is huge!), your apps should be there, with their data too. you try restoring it again? watch the restore, see if there is an error when on the data part.

I just restored this back up for the like the 3rd time today. I tried my other back ups also and none of them restored my apps and data. It said the restore was successful. there were no errors when restoring the data. this is what it said
[DAta]
skipping md5 based on user setting.
wiping data without wiping /data/media
...restoring data
... done restoring...
[data done(386 seconds)]
I didnt see any error messages on the log.
when the phone came on i didnt have my background. I have the stock live wall paper showing. google was asking for location consent again. Disabled apps were enabled again. Its like i didnt even have a backup. Its kind of just like stock. only certain things actually backed up. (for example lockscreen settings, (but no lock code just the options i set it as), it still has the message i set for the lockscreen,) My phone is not even logged in to my google account which is werid.

that backup is huge. i have a lot of apps, a lot! and lots of big games with lots of data, and my biggest nandroid took only 2gb. when you made the backup, was it with cwm recovery or twrp? my only other guess is that there is a corruption somewhere, or its too big to fit in the right partitions.

I made the back up with twrp. I think i do have a back up with cwm but its very old. I didnt see any error messages so maybe it is too big. i do only have like 10gb of free space. maybe the reason my nandroid was so big is because of my google play music? (isnt the offline music saved as data for the app?)
Should i delete everything and try to restore the nandroid?

ahh.. google music, makes sense. it could possibly be that you dont have enough space.

Do you have a galaxy nexus also? what should i delete to free up some space?
I think the offline music is saved in the "sdcard" location that isn't normally part of a nandroid backup. Clean that up for sure.
Try cleaning up as much space as possible on the internal while leaving the backup intact. If you have at least 6 GB free the restore should go fine.
Plan B: Titanium Backup Pro allows you to open a nandroid backup and restore apps with app data.

I currently have about 14.51GB of space free out of 28.13GB. the backup still didnt restore my data. I guess im going to have to try the titanium back up pro. which sucks because i dont want to really buy the pro version.

No, cache has nothing to do with restoring apps+data.
