wanting to install a new rom but not sure what to back up. do i use titanium backup for apps n data and rom manager to back up my rom? or a nandroid backup. will that back up everythung messages, pictures ect. also if i dont like the rom i install can i use rom manager to restore my stock rom? or do i use the nandroid restore and will my homescreen be exactly the same?
if any1 could shed some light into a good debloated sence rom it would be shound other than hensmod5
thanks
apps and data -> titanium backup
sms -> sms backup and restore
contacts -> back them up to google if you haven't already
use the same apps/google sync to restore everything after installing your new rom.
pictures are stored on your sd card, and aren't touched by ROM.
always nandroid backup before making big changes like a new ROM, either from rom manager or directly in recovery. if you want to go back just wipe everything and nandroid restore from recovery, everything will be EXACTLY the same state you left it: apps, texts, homescreens...
you can even take your nandroid backups from your sd card in clockworkmod/backup and put them on PC for safekeeping, just in case.
Yes exactly what you said provided your rooted.
Titanium backup - apps
Rom manager (clockwork recovery) - complete system backup that you can restore should anything go wrong or you wanna go back to how things are now.
Also you could sync your Calender and contacts with your Google account, goto settings then accounts and sync and make sure its selected under your Google account.
Your pictures and vids are on your SD, so will be unaffected.
Eddiehk6 beat me to it lol
PS - SENSELESS by germzii is a great debloated rom, very fast and loads of space.
U can sms backup pro for sms back up,for pics,music videos u can use box as it provide 50GB of storage.for settings and apps as said by the other members use titanium backup.
nandroid backup because it will backup everything on your phone, but not on the sd card
I would love to try different roms and kernels cause I'm on aokp b34 with the kernel that comes with it, but if I use a different kernels I get duplicate texts don't know why. But I wanna try gummy but I wanna keep all texts (SMS/mms) and apps plus the data with the apps. So what would be the best way to go about that?
Titanium Backup for the Apps/data.
Go SMS Pro to backup all your SMS/MMS messages to your sdcard. Then copy the TitaniumBackup and GOSMS folders off your phone to your computer.
Wipe data/cache/dalvik to your heart's content and load up Gummy 1.0.1, Gapps (and 4.0.4 radios if so desired) and enjoy.

Except you don't have to copy your backups to your PC, its all saved in your "external SD card" so when you wipe system,boot,data,cache, and dalvik cache it doesn't touch your backups since it doesn't wipe anything in the external SD card
Or you could get "MyBackUP Root" and back up your sms/mms..
i back up all my apps/data with Titanium Back up.. and use mybackup for sms and other stuff..
Dont backup/restore system apps with TB
I'm about to move to a Nexus from an HD2. What concerns me is not the app data that Titanium backs up, but all the other miscellaneous folders that apps create willy-nilly all over the SD card. Which of *those* do I need to copy over? anyone ever make up a chart for that?
Guess I'll end up copying everything just to be safe.
Can't you nandroid than do a advanced restore of the apps from your nandroid

Well the virtual SDcard isn't wiped when you clear data for a new ROM flash so don't worry about those.
And if you're backing up with Titanium Backup anyways, it'll backup everything relevant.
Here is my process for flashing and restoring. I don't like to keep to much stuff on my phone. Security reasons. If my phone gets jacked I can use lookout to wipe my phone and don't have to worry about some random files still being there.
Pictures - In the cloud on Picasa/Google Photos (No pictures stored directly on phone)
Music - all 700 albums in the Cloud - Some are available offline
Google Drive - All random documents and files needed o my phone
DropBox - TiBU app backups and android related stuff
PreFlash - Prep
1. Use TitaniumBackup Pro to backapp Apps/Data (I also back it up to DropBox)
2. I additionally backup Wallpaper, Wifi Access Points, and Accounts in TiBU
2. Create TitaniumBackup flashable zip
3. I use SMS Backup+ to backup SMS/MMS messages its cool because it backs it up to your email as a SMS label, so you can read SMS from GMail.
Flashing New Rom
4. Flash New ROM, GApps, and Kernel (wipe, etc...the usual)
5. Reboot and Let Rom settle (Don't setup google account yet, just skip everything)
6. Reboot into Recovery
7. Flash TiBU Flashable zip you made to install TiBU to your phone
Restore
1. Use TiBu to batch restore Apps/Data. Do not restore system because this will cause connectivity issues...aka "Grey bars"
2. Use TiBu to restore Wifi Access Points, Wallpaper, and Accounts
3. Use SMS Backup+ to restore SMS/MMS and Call Logs
4. Check accounts to make sure everything is copacetic
5. Reboot
What do you guys do for Wallet? Do you clear Wallet data before switching ROMs?

I always back things up to my pc before flashing in case of boot loops. Unlikely I know and usually fixable but still a pita, and doing a backup to the pc is easy.
Has anybody had issues with MyBackUp Pro not restoring playlists and home screens? Never had an issue with previous phones (Gingerbread-Sensation/Vibrant).
When I restore the playlist, it shows in the music player, but 0 songs.
When restoring home screen, after the reboot, it actually boots into all blank screens (including dock).
Just wanted to see if anybody else ran into this, contacted the dev, waiting for response, figured I'd ask.
How does one do a full backup of their phone? I see no option in twrp for backing up the internal sd card, and i see support for that was removed from cwm back in version 4 ( unless I'm reading this wrong )...
I know I can just copy it off to my pc or what ever, but that's not really a clean solution for doing backup / restores across multiple roms as it will just involve another process and make it so i have got to be at home to swap..
Any solutions?
Depends if your phone is rooted or not, I believe a rooted phone can do more of a "full" backup but what I usually do is backup all my photos and songs with USB to the computer. For SMS apps and app data and system settings and data I personally like two apps - My backup pro and Titanium Backup PRO which requires root. Just visit the apps in the play store to compare. I recommend doing pictures and music manually cause I've had several issues with the backup apps doing my photos as when I restore them they are corrupt
I'm having some android.process.acore problems after flashing this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031726
restoring things with sms backup, and Tibu.
It (android.process.acore) would crash when I delete or edit contacts, and sometime when I add contacts/syncing.
I wiped everything, and restored system settings and it seemed to have worked fine.
My question is can I back up certain files from the wiped/restored version and tibu it onto my recovery image?
I tried contacts, contact store, phone, phone util, google contact sync etc.
can anybody that really is familiar with system files help?
thanks!!
Short Rule: Never, NEVER, restore systems apps. This never bodes well.
Only system data I ever found with no issues: Contacts Storage, and Clock.

I just save APK's I need to push to system in a folder and do it all that way.
I synced my Titanium Backup to Google Drive because I knew I was going to fully wipe my SD. Now I'm trying to restore my apps/data, and I'm having a bit of trouble. It shows about half of the apps that I have backups of (to be more specific, apps that on my previous ROM I had uninstalled). When I look into the folder, I see all the backup of apps that I need (com.xxxx.xxxx). Anyone have any idea what's going on/solutions?
