as far as i know thats the whole point of those green ti backup items.
if i remember correctly i restored both accesspoints and accounts
Gotta say it's pretty dependent on the case.
I've had 2x Galaxy S and I've now got the Galaxy Nexus. Haven't had problems restoring apps from one phone to the other. I even did it from a SGS to a SGSII with no problems.
So you should theoretically be good to go.
But PLEASE make a NANDROID backup, so that anything goes wrong, you can start all over
"Clean" installs: no.
You may or may not have problems...and I've never done it.
But I'd assume it'd work 90% of the time.

So I'm trying to backup my phone on CM7 and its taking..ugh..at this rate, 3+ hours
any idea's?
I've tried a reboot and reinstall titanium with no luck, I guess the obvious answer may be a reflash of everything but obviously I don't want to do that without running Ti Back haha.
all help appreciated.
I hope you are only using Titanium Backup to backup your data and NOT your system files because if you switch roms and then restore everything, you're asking for trouble. It would be very beneficial if you go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then create a nandroid backup. The default selections *should* suffice. By doing so, if you change roms, themes or a mod of some sort and decide you don't like it, you can always revert back to the way it was before the change by restoring your nandroid. Use TB to keep a backup of your 3rd party apps. If you switch roms, you can use TB to restore your 3rd party apps and their associated data. By the way, unless you have a gazillion apps to backup, TB should not be taking 3+ hours to do what it needs.

oh yeah, not backing up any system files, just all my apps.
still taking forever, completely stumped off my arse.
and yes, im aware of nandroid, but I'm needing Titanium to backup all of my 3rd part apps to make switching roms a heck of alot less hassle
I've never had Ti B take so friggin long, it is going, but amg, slow as an old lady.
I hear ya. I have no idea why it's taking so long, but I can assure you that is not normal. Anyway, sorry for treating you like a noob.

CM7 in and of itself has been problematic for me.
random sluggishness in some apps, menu's, radio/wifi/gps turning on/off at random
Have already tried reflashing everything but maybe its just time to give up, going to check out a nightlie and see if theres some improvement but thats about it.
BWidgets clock keeps gimping out on me too.
guessing same reason Ti B is gimping out.
You just gave yourself very good advice, my friend...lol...

yeah, more grasping at straws, I know 20 diff ways to fix this problem, but none with the perfect outcome.
guess ill just have to wait umpteen hours for backup and pray its not corrupted.
since i posted till now it got to 51% and then it crashed >< gahaha losing it. lol
for future reference problem solved
Corrupted market links.
2 cures not sure if they work separate but I did both so id have no problem
1. goto applications, find market, stop application, clear cache
2. go into Ti Back preferences and uncheck market link backups
Sorry for bringing the thread back from the dead, but i struggle with the same issue on N5 stock MM rooted. So much so that i defaulted to scheduling nightly backups and never did any in person.
I'll try this method out too.
ok, I have heard a lot of good reports on this app, My Backup Root. So, am I just doing something wrong?
I first tried My Backup Root, and it "seemed" to work fine, but I didn't' actually use the phone much afterward as I had just gotten a replacement from Sprint and was only trying it out before switching phones. Then, after I did the switch I discovered that I needed Pro to restore to a different phone. So, I purchased it and restored everything. But, I noticed I was getting a lot of FCs. Thinking it was the ROM ( I also tried the new EG22 ROM by decad3nce at the same time) and so I flashed to the RandomROM EG22, and restored my apps. But, I am getting the same thing, lots of apps just FC on me. I have found though that if I uninstall the app and reinstall it, the app works just fine. So, it seems to be a restore problem.
For the record, I am only doing the apk backup, no data. I have read lots of great reports on this app, so what am I doing wrong?
I used to love my backup pro but lately it has been doing that to me too, lost a lot of game save files because of it. I eventually gave up on it and bought titanium backup pro for aps. I still use mybackup to backup everything else but it fudges apps.

I've been having similar problems. a work around that works for me (most of the time) is restore the app and the data separately.
Sorry if this is a noob question, but is there a way to backup or save how you setup all your app icons and widgets on the stock home screens so you can restore easily after a full wipe?
Thanks in advance!

I wish, this is actually the only reason I am contemplating returning my phone for an iphone if the 4s had 4g I would.
it didn't bother me to much when I could simply run my nandroids and pull my micro sd card out when my phone physically broke but my gNex is less then a week old and it has some sort of hardware malfunction and now I lost all my backups, and data on my media partition.
I had finally got the phone setup, but to answer your question if your not opposed to simply rooting your phone then nandroid backups, which you now need to backup your backup to your a physical pc.
I have an Evo 3G roted with a ton of apps. Can I take my Titanuium backup from that phone and restore selective apps and data to my G3.
I have a couple apps that I no longer have the credentials for to re download from the app store without paying for them again.

You should be able to do that. You will need to be rooted on the GS3 in order to restore. I was able to restore some apps from my Evo 4G to the GS3 using Titanium. Not sure if all apps can be restored or not. I would not try to restore any system setting or data. That could be a problem.
If you're rooted, use titanium and it should work. Just restore the apps & app data, and not system data. Also, don't. Restore them as a batch operation, do just 2 or 3 at a time, and test them, then continue.

I can vouch and say that it does work. I moved from the HTC Evo 4G OG and used Titanium Backup to bring all of my old apps and data to my new phone. You will have to have BOTH devices rooted in order to use the backup as well as the SD card or the information.
Yes, I went from an Epic 4G to an S3 using MyBackup Pro. Restored all the app data. As long as you don't try to restore the basic system data you should be fine.
Great, that is what I was hoping for
I also went from an Evo 3D to the SGS3. Just make sure that you don't restore data that was specific for the Evo. For instance, if you have setcpu, don't restore the data because that was specifically for the E3D. Otherwise, you won't have any problems.

ok so what is the text file for when doing a nf backuo? does it restore the device from a hard brick? i just did the backup and just wanted to be sure what it was for
reboot nvbackup? Backs up IMEI, basically. There is a lengthy post (in the IMEI restore thread) about how it actually works.
Basically when flashing your emei may randomly dissappear meaning you won't use the things that a phone is for such as calling or texting. If you can't restore it only way is to replace it. So good thing you backed it up because often that gets fo gotten and is really the most important thing. Samsung phones always have to deal with these issues.

nice thanks. i also have the transformer prime and they also found a way to do nvbackup and in their post it said it helped recover from software bricks including bootloader. so i was wondering if it was the same for the s3.
