TiBU backs up your apps and then restores them after you flash/wipe, that way you dont have to re-download them all.. You can do a batch install and install them all quickly.
It can also freeze/hide apps, repair market links, clear the Dalvik cache, extract apps from your Nandroid and sync your backups with Dropbox or Box.com. In general, it's pretty awesome.
Backup and restoring apps without downloading, like WiredPirate said, is probably the best use, especially if you flash different roms a lot.
Its really worth it! It use to piss me off every time I flashed a new from I had to start all over in angry birds but now I can just backup my Angry Birds data and flash a new rom then restore my Angry Birds. Its worth the price.
"I Like It A lot"
it's a devil tool buy you hell lots of time if you flush different roms now and then.
you can also create an "update.zip" and restore everything from recovery, huge time saver
What these guys said. If you insist on constantly flashing ROMS like I do you will soon realize its worth. Especially batch restore. Worth it alone for that. I can choose the apps I want and let it install automatically, no need to keep pressing accept and done after each individual app. Saves battery with screen off and I can carry on doing something else.

it's worth every penny, the developer is great, they have kept it up to date and have avoided the temptation to make a new version to force people to re-buy the app.
Been using it for almost 2 years, buy it!
Aite im gonna thank you all guys.. i own the app.. and the last time i flashed a rom it didnt want to restore the apps and i had to re download everything... maybe im still noob at it..... guess i just have to look closer at it and see what i did wrong last time..
thanks

Worse case scenario, re install the apps then use Ti to restore the data for the apps you care about (usually what I do anyways)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Titanium is needed to restore your app data. A nand restore can't do this since it restores the previous rom that you created the backup from.
Use the guide in my sig when you install your next rom man.
It runs you through basic TB usage.

So I've finally got my first smartphone, actually my first ever phone a few days back, the phone being the GN. I've successfully rooted, unlocked, etc and have flashed my GN to AOKP with the Franco kernel and the last thing I done was calibrate battery (which maybe useless? I'm not too sure).
Anyway, do any of you guys have any tips for newbies? like is there any mods, tips etc to make the phone better, make the battery run longer, etc.
If there are any threads I should read, please do link me the thread.
By the way, if I broke any rules somehow, I apologise. I'm capped and couldn't watch the "XDA Noob Video" and didn't bother reading the rules
Thanks!
install and understand titanium backup. I could have made everything so much easier had I learned how to use it from the start. and I would have saved the Google wallet feature of my phone.

Damn now I wished I backed up Google Wallet. Now when I run it it says it's not available on my carrier/or in my country.
Edit: Is there a way to get back Google Wallet, I have a Nandroid backup if that helps. I'm from Australia and on the Vodafone Carrier. Cheers if anyone could help!
Backup your current ROM, restore the older nandroid, install Titanium Backup and backup all the apps you need (I recommend batch backing up all user apps). Then, restore the nandroid backup of your newer ROM.
Sounds like a lot of work, but it takes max. 15 mins. I once did this whole process on my Galaxy S2 once so I would get back my high score on Doodle Jump!

Titanium can actually extract app backups out of nandroid backups (with the pro version, at least). No need to re-flash.

So is it recommend to remove Google Wallet from a rom you are flashing and then restoring it via titanium backup? I originally sideloaded the apk, so it was not a system app when I made a titanium backup. I would appreciate a nice layout of the steps to take so you don't lock yourself out of ever using Google Wallet on your phone .

Cheers guys. I've successfully restored my downloaded apps from my nandroid backup with TB Pro! I have also restored Google Wallet but that's only available to U.S customers, haha. Derp.
My last worry is the battery life. I'm not asking on how to make it last longer but if it's doing good or not by looking at the chart. I use my phone a lot with 3g always on, I use my phone as a music player every night using the speakers for about an hour. I sometimes put wi-fi on and yeah..
My knowledge of roms and the like is very limited, so forgive me if this seems like a dumb question.
Basically, my Nexus is a huge distraction during school, but I don't want to purchase a dumb phone. So instead, I'd rather have a rom I flash in the morning that has everything but productivity apps deleted and then a rom I flash at home that has everything. However, I'd hate to flash a rom and not have it save what apps I have deleted.
Is there any sort of solution for this?
Have a ROM setup exactly like you like, save it as a nandroid backup. Then setup the other one, save it as a nandroid. Then you can restore back and forth. Honestly though this is going to be a huge hassle, as you're gonna have to backup the current ROM every time you switch so that you come back to the same spot.
My advice? Learn how to be responsible with your phone and pay attention in class. A simpler solution if you really have no self control is a second launcher that has the distracting apps hidden.

You don't need to flash multiple roms, the luxury of being rooted is you have full control of your device!! Download Titanium Backup from the Google Play Store. This app allows you to make backups of your apps including all the data that is associated with it, and if you feel the need to remove them in the morning you can do so and then when you are home you can restore them one by one or do a batch restore and restore them all at once. You have the option to restore them with or with out data as well. Example being would be games like Angry Birds lets say and you are on level 9,000 but don't want to delete it or lose it flashing another rom then you back it up and can uninstall it and then restore it whenever you want!! This would be the same for flashing a new rom, when the new rom boots up re-download Titanium from the Play Store and then restore all apps you have saved..
It's always such a bother to click install, done, install, done, install, done for 100+ apps when I restore from Titanium Backup. Is there another backup app that has fully automated restore, rather than necessitating my input for half an hour?
Spend the $6 to buy the pro version and you won't have that issue anymore! It's well worth it for anyone who flashes ROMs frequently...

As said. In pro you an just click a button and restore them all, with or without data. You can do all apps and system data or you can do all apps, missing apps etc. Gives you a list in case you want to
Ton of features in there that i dont really use. I just backup all new user apps & new versions and then backup for modified data and then i restore when i do a rom. New versions have that all new user apps and new versions set to also backup all system apps. Might want to swap the option back to how it used to be. Backing up every system app is stupid.
Thanks guys, I had no idea the pro version did what I wanted it to do
No problem, be sure to use the thanks button!

Question is in the thread title.
In the past, when I had a Samsung Infuse 4G, MyBackupPro worked wonderfully for backing up apps and data before flashing a new ROM, and painlessly restoring apps and data after flashing a new ROM (by painlessly I mean all at once, as opposed to having to go through and click "restore" for each app and data). However, for whatever reason, MyBackupPro is not playing nicely with my Note 2. I can backup and all that, but restoration never occurs. In fact, most times it won't find the backup to even restore!
So, what is everybody's favorite/easiest way to backup before flashing a new ROM, and restoring after flashing a new ROM? Preferably a free option.
When I was working with the Infuse, I seem to remember lots of developers saying to NEVER restore data after flashing a new ROM. I don't understand why that is. I know people aren't starting their games and stuff over from scratch when they flash a new ROM, especially since many people change ROMs every couple of days.
Thanks in advance! :highfive:
I use titanium backup. Works great with the note 2.
When they are saying don't restore data they are talking about system data. If you backup everything including system apps and data and restore from that it can wreck havoc.
Just backing up user apps and data is fine to restore, at least I've never had a problem. I would just be wary going between touch wiz and aosp ROMs that could get a little dicey, but between the same type of ROMs(ice cm10.1 to aokp or pacman or aospa) should be fine.

i used Helium (used to be Carbon) by Koush, the creator of CWM and ROM Manager) recently when i switched ROMs. i have always used Titanium Backup, but thought i would try Helium. the process is super easy and went very smoothly.

I believe when it comes to backing up/moving apps + data, time, convenience or money saving should simply stay out of the decision making process. BUY the best there is, spend time to learn how to properly use the tool and that will give you the quickest, most convenient and money saving solution. In other words, this is where you shouldn't be cutting any corners. I would recommend either Titanium Backup Pro or ROM Toolbox Pro.
I bought Helium Premium and it worked beautifully. Now I have no reason not to try every ROM available for this phone. Thanks guys!
My backup pro + root will do the job nice. If you're not seeing your backups try going into settings and check that your backups are going to EXTENT sd.

Dude I want the premium version of this app...Can you please provide me
I've been using titanium backup pro. It works pretty well, and it's pretty fast. Sometimes there are problems accessing my backup folder after a new flash, but restarting and fixing permissions will usually fix it.

did you set the backup location under settings when you redownloaded the app to point to the location of your backup folder?
+1 titanium backup..when restoring after a rom install..make sure to restore only apps never restore apos wirh chemicals system data...you'll have conflicts then.
Titanium backup is the best in my opinion. .you can backup bookmarks, message sms, call logs and even send them to dropbox and restore them just as easy...
I agree that Ti Backup is a good option. I wont say its the best period, but it is the best that I have used.

Hello friends,
I'm kinda still new to the whole custom rom world and have a question. I really like flashing and testing new roms but the one thing I hate is having to download all the apps again from the play store, even though it syncs up and starts automatically downloading all of them it's way too time consuming and not to mention uses more data. I was going to see if you guys could recommend a good backup app that would back all my apps and their data up to my SD card so after flashing a new app I could just install the one backup app then use it to restore the apps/data/sms etc. from my SD card. I see several in the play store such as titanium but was wanted to get a few opinions from folks that have more experience. I'd prefer free but would not mind paying a few bucks ..say $3-5 for a good well rounded app.
Thanks and have a great day!

Titanium is the overall best/most features IMO. Backup/Restore, Uninstall, Freeze apps, etc... I've used it for a long time, and I really like it.

Thanks, I give it a try...I noticed that it has the option to backup app+system. I have a followup question on this regarding backing up the "system info". If I was on rom sokp version 1.5 and made my backups that included the system file and then the sokp team released another version that had bug fixes in it ..lets say V1.7 and I installed it and then did a restore...would restoring the system contents onto the new rom change it back to what I had and end up breaking things that were fixed. Hope this makes since. Lets say bluetooth was broke on my current rom that I've made apps+system backups and then I install V1.7 which fixes the bluetooth...would me restoring the system folder break bluetooth again and whatever else they've fixed. Also, what if I want to kick around another rom...lets say carbon ...would restoring my backups cause it issues.
Thanks guys!
You can only restore system data to the same or updated versions of a ROM. In most cases, its best to start from scratch with things such as your settings. (Contacts/calendar data should restore ok regardless)
Thanks DOC!!
