Hello, I often flash new roms to my phone. I noticed that my contact pictures have a very poor resolution after a fresh install and the following sync with the google servers.
Because of that I want the save and restore the high resolution pics without google sync. So there is no need to relink all contacts to gallery pics every time.
Can anyone please give me a hint, how to backup it with titanium backup? Or wich file / folder I have to backup? Thanks.

Does anyone know how to backup texts and contacts? So whenever I flash new firmware I can get them back?
Thanks in advance.
There is an app called sms backup & restore in the market. I use that.
And not sure about contacts because I just automatically download them from my gmail account when setting up the phone.

I use MyBackup Pro v2.3.4 (available from Marketplace) as it allows you to backup apk's/apk's and their data, and also things like Contacts, Calendar events, Bookmarks, SMS, alarm, etc. To use it, you will need root access.
Actually, you see, the problem is that I cannot download ANY apps from the marketplace. It stalls and keeps displaying the message "Starting download..". Hence why I am trying to back everything up and reinstall the ROM.
In settings, there is a backup option that saves all contact / texts onto the SD Card. anyone know where that file is located? I'll ever be grateful if someone can post this information. thanks.
EDIT: The option is in Settings > Privacy > Backup settings.
So I'm sure many of you would have noticed that after performing a clean flash, all the contact images are blurry and don't download on their own. Only after opening their contact once is their full resolution contact image downloaded from Google servers.
It's a pain to do this manually each time.
Is there a way by which all contact images can be downloaded in full resolution automatically after performing a clean flash?
Anyone?
Hello,
I lost my LG G3 on Friday. Used Android Device Manager but no use. Some stuff on the micro SD but at least they can't get in the phone! Also used location services but still no luck. Had to pay for a new LG G4 but lost some of my photos and contacts. Tried using LG backup but it doesn't even go past 1%. Is it not working? Is there another app I can use to save everything?
I have dropbox and a box account. Can I backup to these?
Dropbox and Box do not need a backup, since they automatically blow everything into the cloud space. Install the apps, login and everything will be there.
For contacts you need to have every contact synced with google and you will have them all back on any new phone.
For the rest, uhm, no root, no backups atm without any work, learn from the adb backup threads all over XDA how to backup stuff.
LG backup works fine for me. I even used it to transfer all programs / settings / files from my G2 to the G4.
Why people don't have contacts synced with Google and photos synced with Google Photos is beyond me.
I was wondering if it's possible to backup your configured email accounts in gmail. Because I'm always busy reconfiguring all email accounts I have in gmail with a clean install. Have tried Titanium Backup and My Backup Root. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or it's just not possible because of security (password and such). Also haven't been able to find much info about this elsewhere.
Nobody?
Want to backup Gmail emails either on Windows OS. Just try this useful Softaken Gmail Backup Software Windows OS. The tool provides different file formats to save resultant files like pst, msg, eml, mbox etc. The demo version is free for user, you need to just download and install on your system. Backup entire data quickly
Hi
I just flashed my g4 for the first time.
Backed up some data on my SD card beforehand (email account settings, calendar and contacts)..
But now when i try to restore from a backup the only option im offered is the LG cloud (which I never used before)
Is there another way to recover those settings?
I managed to import contacts manually from the contacts app but i cant find a similar option from the email or calendar apps...
Thanks
