Hi,
I am on 4.0.4 and I regurarly backup with Titaniumbackup both apps and system data.
If I manually update to 4.1 (which means a total factory reset of the phone) will I be able to import back the above backups and get the phone as it was before the upgrade.
I am not really worried about the apps but about the system data, as they may have changed.
Thanks
You can restore apps and user data. Do not restore system data.

well then I'm gonna wait for official JB OTA... Don't wanna spend another 2 hours re-configuring my phone :-(
btw, any official root method for JB, just to prepare in advance... I have Voodo OTA rootKeeper but not sure if it'll work...
If you're using titanium backup with encrypted stuff, you'll have to wait for a jb update.
Also, if you're trying to uninstall anything from /system/app/ you'll also have to wait for a jb update for titanium backup.
Supposedly basic backup and restore of tb is working.

What takes 2 hours to configure?? Email accounts and settings, WiFi settings, BT settings, etc, are all downloaded once you sign into your Google account. If you use a third-party sound manager, alarm clock and launcher, all those settings would be restored when you restore from Titanium. What else is left??

well upgrade + restore + some configurations that cannot be backedup (home screen icons placement, alarms, etc.) may take up to a couple of hours...
pls, I have just realised that the JB rom here on xda is deodexed whioch means no future OTA updates...
I can wait till the official JB OTA, in the meantime the new gnex toolkit compatible with JB will be ready and right after the upgrade in one click I can re-unlock and re-root

1) The ROM here is not deodexed: http://tinyurl.com/JRN84D
2) If you rely on a toolkit to do things for you, you will never learn anything and more importantly, it will make it harder to troubleshoot if you have issues.

1] thanks do i still have to install the radio first?
2] I had an HD2 with android before the gnex, so I do know how to do things manually, and my first unlock/root on my gnex I did manually... simply since 1 month I wake up at 6am, commute for 1h, wotk for another 9 hours and then back home at 8pm... so honestly I have no time at all to waste on my phone considering i prefer wasting it with my wife, my bike, my scubadiving, etc... ;-) so yes the toolkit is a timesaver for me ;-)
You really shouldn't ever restore system data. It's just asking for trouble.

1) Yes, I would. I would also install the bootloader. See the second post of the "flash" link in my signature.
2) I hear ya. But what I was trying to say is that: a) doing it yourself is NOT any slower than a toolkit if you know what you are doing, and b) it will be faster to fix (in the event of any issues) if you don't use a toolkit.

btw, I am rooted and i have CWM installed: does it mean that with CWM i won't get the OTA?
I can confirm that restoring system data from 4.0.4 to 4.1 will not work fully. I did that last week and google now wasn't working properly, and there were some syncing issues with other applications (grey wifi and data bars)
I also don't think its that much of a hassle to have to re-setup stuff. Each time you do it, it gets quicker . Plus sometimes I make improvements to homescreen/widget setup.

You should never restore system data across different builds, only across the same build.
You should always do a full wipe before taking a full system ota. It is no different then flashing a rom... you can set the rom not to wipe data either but lots of things will get screwed up.
If you have such a complex setup that you never want to wipe data then you should just stay on the same build and be happy
Can anyone tell me what exactly restoring system data does? I noticed 4.1 comes with its own google maps and such but i also restored it from 4.0.4. Does that mean I'm running 4.0.4 apps?

It's fine to restore system data when going from a 4.0.4 ROM to a 4.0.4 ROM. But you are asking for trouble (FC's, crashes, bootloops, etc.) by restoring system data from one version of a ROM to another (like from 4.0.4 to 4.1).
so to be safe, i should only choose restore missing apps with data option? I don't see any other option that excludes system data.

If you're doing a batch restore in Titanium it will not include system apps. So, yes, restore missing apps with data should be fine. Titanium is smart enough to not let you mass restore system apps.
I have been able to upgrade from a full stock 4.0.4 to the 4.1 shown in ROM manager without wiping more than cache.

The Market doesn't sync your apps from one phone to another. You need to have selected the option to back up the info on your phone and have restore on.
You can find this in the Back-up and Reset menu

thanks but I have both phones set to backup and auto restore....so you're saying your apps installed on your nexus from your old phone?
Yes almost all apps installed except for a few (Flash 11, Adobe Air, Adobe Reader). Most likely because they weren't compatible.

I remember JBQ from Google talking about this on twitter a couple weeks ago. The option to let apps restore from the market with data is available for every dev to put in their apps, but very few actually use it.
I personally wouldn't rely on the market to restore the apps with data. For most apps, it won't restore data, just simply re-download the app fresh.
Why can't you use tibu? Put the tibu folder on your galaxy nexus and proceed to use tibu.. worked for me

My GN automatically downloaded all my apps when I first signed in. Obviously this didn't include any previous settings. If this failed you could always try installing app brain on your old phone,syncing and then doing the same on your GN.

What martonikaj says is true. I've read it as well. The devs of apps just aren't that into it for some reason. It only restores the apps, not the settings (at least from the third party applications).

Hey XDA friends...seriously over my head noob here, I performed the Odin One Click stock root posted on You Tube by QbKing last week. Maybe two days ago, I lost my status/notification bar as well as the ability to answer phone calls. i can make them tho. Also, my home screen icons are dissappering randomly (possibly only at reboot, I'll have to check on that). This all occurred it seems, when Titanium B/U prompted me to save certain apps to SD. Please help me and i will promise not to ever again take you alls training and long hours learning your craft lighty again! Thx.
Did you keep your data? If so the best way is a totally clean install. Give it another shot.
Thanks
I did in fact do a "save data root", and I'm embarrassed to say, how might I go about performing a clean install, and would I have root privileges after, and finally, any tips or advice on how one might avoid this type of thing in the future? Thank you for taking some of your time to guide the blind and aimless

re download the one click, making sure it is ff18 or el29 depending on whether you want gb or ics, then reflash it in odin using the same video as a guide. Weird you lost that status bar though, usually it won't boot if you had a bad download. I suspect with titanium backup you restored a gingerbread launcher on an ics rom or vice versa. Avoid restoring apps from titanium unless you know what you are doing would be my advice.

Thx for that info cuz I was doing just that.... attempting to restore certain back ups, one being the stock launcher. So are you suggesting a complete wipe and then download and reflash the one click? Honestly, the reason I orginally decided on the root option is sorta of dumb I suppose. I was sure that my ex had installed spyware on my phone and saw root as the only viable option for discovery, I actually like the stock rom and initially really liked the stock w/root. Obiviously I have a lot to learn...and express my genuine appreciation for knowlegdeable people such as yourself for helping me pull my head out my ass inch by inch.:

Also if you have access to a wifi connection or good 4g speeds I would recommend downloading all of your apps again and truly starting from scratch. It should take about an hour to do it all assuming you dont have hundreds of apps.
Just sync your phone now, do the one click, after boot update profile and prl then sign into google account and resync then start setting up apps. This is when you decide if you really need all the crap you previously had on your phone.

The link I posted will give you stock rooted ICS. Flashing through odin isn't very dangerous as long as you don't touch your phone while doing it and only flash the file I linked to. And don't restore any titanium backup apps this time unless you can differentiate system apps from store apps.

With restoring your apps. In titanium back up, hit restore missing apps. Then before you hit restore make sure restore only apps not apps+data. This way its only the apps you have downloaded and they are fresh.

It sounds to me like when you used TiBu to move apps to SD you accidently moved system apps including the systemui.apk and dialer and/or contacts possibly. When moving apps to SD thru TiBu never move apks in red, also never restore those apps or their data if you switch to a different rom version

You guys are a life saver.....well once again, you guys are life saver, well at the very least, a smartphone saver! Cuz this one has come very close to being spiked like a game winning touchdown more than once. Though I'm well aware who is responsible for its problems.

I have a nexus gsm which i rooted with toolkit, and installed jellybean 4.1.1 v3 by bigxie.
I also flashed the franco kernel (latest nightly build)
questions:
a) What do i lose when flashing a new rom......all my apps/data etc....?
b) i did a backups of my apps using rom toolbox pro, and saved them to dropbox. if i flash a new rom..do i just redownload rom toolbox and restore from dropbox?
c) I did a NANDROID......do i just save the folder to my PC just in case, or dropbox for that matter, or is there something else i need to do to transfer it to my pc? do i just use a NANDROID if i messup something and want to restore back to my current rom etc..?
d)everything seems very fast....although i find a delay in opening google now, something that should be instant.....any suggestions?
e) lastly...when i am in an elevator and lose reception...it can take anywhere form 10 seconds to several minutes before i get reception back when i go outside....what can i do to improve this? can i just flash a radio...if so any recomendations?
thanks for your help to any of these answers !!

Well first of all, I personally don't recommend using toolkit, because it creates more chance of bricking your phone.
A) you have two choices when flashing a new ROM, flashing without factory reset and flashing with reset. Personally recommend resetting when switching ROM. If you do reset, you will lose apps and data, but not files from sd card
B) I don't know how toolkit does, but I believe so. I recommend using titanium backup if you want a guaranteed app and data backup
C) you can copy the backup to the computer just in case. If you need up our want to go back, you can just restore it, but this wouldn't restore apps and data too (I don't think)
D) from my experience, Google now isn't very instant... I wouldn't worry if I were you
E) I think that's normal

Hi everyone!
I currently have the Jellybean build that was leaked for the Bell SGH-I747m a couple weeks ago, and am noticing a lot of bugs and problems that were not in ICS.
Would it be possible to do a titanium backup now on the phone (I am rooted) and then flash with odin ICS stock, then re-root, then restore the titanium backup, all without losing any apps or games and their saves?
I know upgrading with TitBak is no problem but I am really not sure about downgrading.
Thanks in advance!

Make sure you are rooted or TB won't work.
Yes you will lose all settings, but they aren't too hard to set back up.

Ok did the Odin flash, but it said RESET instead of PASS, and now its stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen that glows brighter and softer... Going to try re-downloading stock ROM. Hope this works!
Turns out that the only problem was that I had to go into recovery after the Odin finished flashing, then reset cache and restore to factory.
Then it worked!

1) When I use goomanager and search for compatible roms, why does it show no roms were found? Im using stock everything, rooted.
2) TiBu, when i back up all apps and system data, it hangs on "com.android.sharedstoragebackup" Does anyone know whats wrong with this?
Don't back up the system stuff. Only cause problems when you try to restore it
As Mike said, stay away from backing up or restoring any system stuff.
As far as Goo...stay away as well even if it did show anything lol. Its best to come here to the xda Threads so that you can read about the current rom releases and updates. Also the Devs can add notes here better than they can on Goo.

Thanks for both replies.
I will listen to both of u.
but just for knowledge sake.
1) Why doesnt it show any roms on Goo
2) so most poeple would not back up system data? What is that anyways?
I did a full twrp backup, that should include everything, TiBu's benefit is having the option to restore certain items. Would any of those include system data?
A nandroid takes a full "portrait"of your system. TiBu only restores individual component s of your system
If you back up system info from say ics and then restore it to jb, it won't work out well. The framework is different
Not sure why it doesn't. Maybe an issue on Goo's end. I just downloaded goo on my note 2 and it is the same way.

what if its with another version of ICS? Would that be helpful?
Also, my guess is that it isnt really recommended to use Goomanager to flash roms. but do u know why im encountering that issue? EDIT: Thanks for ansering this one

The issue isn't really a matter of using it to flash ROMs - which really just delegates the work to TWRP, assuming that's the recovery you're using - so much as using it to find ROMs. You're much better off finding ROMs, say, around here, where info about the ROMs, support, etc. is right there along with the ROMs themselves.
It just Makes Sense™.
