Just got my Epic 4g touch yesterday. I'm pretty satisfied with this machine.
I flashed FD19 and later FD24. I just wonder if there is a way to backup and restore the home screen icon, widget and folders. Which app or setting should I backup and restore if using Titanium backup ? Thank you very much.
Are you just using the stock Touchwiz Launcher? If you're using a 3rd party launcher most have backup settings in them. A nandroid will back up that as well as everything else if you're wanting to back up and restore after flashing something new. Just use the advanced restore for data after you flash.

I'm using the stock ICS launcher. Can I just restore the Launcher app?
You should be able to back it up in titanium backup.

Sniper, you're everywhere dude.
Just be aware Fook, that in Titanium, you have to manually backup Touchwiz since it is considered a system app.

Is there an App that saves me the trouble of re-setting up my homescreens everytime i flash a new rom/kernal? I feel I spend alot of time just re-doing everything.
+1 to this! Would like a simple app or process that does only this.
Titanium Backup does this, no? I just flashed AOKP and used TB to restore all apps and data and it put all my folders and widgets back in place.

From what I understood restoring all "data" can be dangerous because some things don't play nice with other roms. Also, back on my OG Droid, I would restore all apps & data and i would have to start putting everything back together for about 30 minutes before it would remember to place everything back. If i let it sit there it wouldn't restore it though.
It can be restored if you use a aftermarket launcher such as ADW Launcher EX, GO Launcher, LauncherPro, etc. If you use the stock launcher then no.
At most with these aftermarket ones, you'll just need to redo the widgets and that's it.
Mmmm people seem to be in love with nova launcher, maybe ill give it a try thanks!
You can with Titanium Backup. Just backup the home screen app manually before flash. Then restore the home screen app data only.

Hey XDA,
I was hearing stuff about moving from ICS to JB needing to be a clean move, and that you shouldn't restore any data from ICS over to JB, cause it'll cause problems.
I do want to backup my app data, like my game saves and what not-- over to JB when I decide to upgrade.
Are there any tips or tricks to avoid messing up my JB ROM while being able to backup and restore my data from ICS to JB?
Thanks in advance,
-J
Bump ;3
Not sure really. If the apps themselves are updated to the latest version they should be fine to restore through tibu. You can always nandroid your both ICS with your apps, or JB before you try tibu, that way when you try tibu you'll be able to revert back easily if it does in fact screw anything up. Worth a shot of trial and error, though I believe you should be OK so long as you don't do system apps.

Apps in the /system/app folder.

Back on my Atrix I dirty flashed JB right on top of ICS and nothing bad happened. So I'm assuming carrying over user app data won't cause big problems.
Is there any app to back up my apps and restore to the way I had it on the home screen. For when I update or change a ROM.
Thanks.

You can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox to back up not only the apps you have installed, but also their data as well. It will save your backups to your SD card, so when you update your system memory, your backups will be safe. All that is needed is your device must be rooted to use either.

I think he was asking about restoring not only the apps but also the app icon onto the exact same place in the home screen. If that's your question...I don't think there is something like that, but it would be nice.
use a third party launcher, most of them have backup and restore options

What is the best way to restore data backup from a tw rom without getting a bunch of force closing. I know about restoring apps with data from TB but I rather restore my entire setup. With having to set up my screens all over

Restoring screens and settings is always problematic, especially when going between ROM types (TW and CM10).
Best case for restoring screens is using a launcher that allows you to back up the home screens.
Restoring settings is best done manually.
Restoring apps can use TB or Mybackup root, or any number of other backup apps.
I am running CM10 on my current S3. Can I export my SMS/MMS from the S3 to the Note 2 or will I loose them? Everything else on the phone is either in the cloud or a program that I need to re-install so it's not an issue. Thanks!
Pretty sure there is a app that backs up sms

I have titanium backup and I know that does, I just don't know if it restores to a different device correctly
Search for sms backup+
Backups to gmail account just like email.
But then again you are on cm10. That might make a difference.

Use sms backup+ for texts and as for apps and such drag your titanium backup file over and restore
It will work. Titanium backup. But besure to restore asap. It will disorient the order or wipe the newer stuff. I brought my stuff from my samsung infuse. The note 2 and s3 are damn near the same phone software wise. Especially if you go aosp to aosp.
You can cloud the titanium backup via dropbox. But its a bit weird. Id just save it to the sdcard and swap.

Good info, thanks. I'll probably go to the CleanROM once I get it. So not sure its aosp to aosp, but I'll still give it a shot.
Goback up works well too, it also backs up MMS and call logs
