Hello,
I like to flash new roms but I hate having to add all my accounts (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, etc) after.
Can someone please tell me where I can find instructions to use Titanium? I would like to backup apps, settings (including ring tone, notifications) accounts.
I am rooted on CNA nightly rom.
Thanks,
Anything system should never be restored.
Post two of my guide details correct usage.

Could be just me, but I personally backup/restore few system "apps", such as data manager and SMS and Google stuff and never had problems... Should I not do that? I personally never had any issue with doing that..
I never use tib to restore system apps either, just user apps. I think with jelly bean, it restores all of my wireless networks, background image and "some" system settings like my owner info. All of the other stuff (email accounts, Google permissions) I have to redo over again.

Thanks for your replies. A couple questions:
1) In developer options do I enable adb bugging and select it as a debug app?
2) Do I enable installation from unknown sources?

1. Yes to debugging, no to add it as an app
2. Yes enable unknown sources. Although I don't think it is absolutely needed anymore. Won't hurt anything thoigh. TB will tell you if you need it.

This is only for installation of a non-market app, you don't need this checked to allow TiBU to do its job.
For what it's worth, I haven't been able to get tb to actually backup the accounts section like I used to in 2.1/2.2/2.3/4.0. It just hasn't worked so I just manually setup accounts stuff again.
But I do backup WiFi settings, data manager, call log, and dictionary and haven't had any issues, but YMMV.

You could always try experimenting, but the risk you take is if the rom developer (or different Gapps version) makes some type of change that might cause a problem.

Ok so i have been using go sms pro for about month now and recently i got tired of receiving double messages and lockscreen notificcations so i decided to make a titanium backup of it and uninstall it so i wouldnt have that problem anymore. Now I am having problems receiving sms because thats uninstalled im pretty sure as now i remember that go sms relies on the stock app to get mms but when i went to reinstall it soehow the backup isnt there anymore i guess i deleted it without knowing or something so now am i out of luck. What can i do, could someone just upload the stock messaging app and i download it and install it or what do i do now?
Thanks in advance.

Im an Android noob but even I wouldn't have made this mistake. the Galaxy S III has a feature to let you hide apps so there's no reason to delete them. also, Go SMS has a setting that lets you disable stock app so you don't get double messages.
Finally, all you need to do is restore your device back to factory.

Positive you deleted it and didn't just disable it? Or did you remove it with Titanium?
If you go Settings > Apps > All, disabled apps are near the bottom, not in the alphabetical list.

Update:
12/1/2013
The tutorial below was tested with Android v4.2
I am not sure if it works with v4.3 and higher.
For those running 4.3 or 4.4, please feel free to offer any insight.
Thanks
I read where a lot of people don't like Google Hangouts, and would like to install Google Talk again. There are GTalk files available, but installing them proved to be unsuccessful for some, which prompted me to find out why.
Below is a short tutorial showing how to get Google Talk back back onto your device. I have no doubt others already know how to install GTalk on devices with Hangouts installed, but many don't, and after searching and not seeing a how to, I started this thread.
I've tested this successfully on my rooted T-Mobile M919. I've not tested this method on other devices, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for others.
1) download Google Talk:
http://d-h.st/9Uf
2) go to Titanium Backup
3) find Hangouts system app
4) make a backup of Hangouts
5) un-install Hangouts
6) reboot
7) using your file manager, find the talk.apk & install the package.
8) Enjoy
If you want to install Hangouts again, un-install Google Talk, reboot and
re-install Hangouts using TiBu.

Uninstall update is not an option in the Playstore. Only 'open' & 'uninstall'
In:
Settings
Application manager
All
I uninstalled updates but Hangouts remains in the app draw and Talk is not found.
If I've overlooked something, please let me know.
I'll reboot to see if that restores Talk.
Edit:
Rebooted, and Hangouts still there. No Talk.

Yeah, that's why -
If your ROM came with Talk, then you can uninstall updates and get back to Talk. Whereas, if your ROM came with Hangouts, then uninstalling update won't work.
(And here, by ROM I mean the ROM istels or GApps package you flashed. )
Just out of curiosity why do you like talk over hangouts? To me hangouts has everything talk had and more, not sure why I would want to go back.

Personally, I've used Talk very little and never tried Hangouts.
The reason I started this 'How to' thread was because I found others that had Hangouts wanted to install Google Talk like they used to have on other devices, but we're unable to install Talk. I looked around and didn't see any clear directions on how to do this, so by trial & error I figured it out and started this thread
With the above being said, I've read many who prefer Talk for its simplicity, in addition to being able to tell who is available for chat if they're on their pc etc. which you're not able to do with Hangouts. I'm sure there are pros & cons for both apps, and sometimes it may just come down to:
- those who are familiar with a service they've used for years (Talk) and figure it works well so why change it.
- If it 'ain't broke, why fix it?'
- the KISS Principle (keep it short & simple)
Others who have used both Talk and Hangouts will be able to offer more specifics
I don't like hangouts either. I have a modified talk apk somewhere on my computer that disables the stupid play store notification to update.

Google should listen to their customers and split Talk from Hangouts. The later seems aimed at teens and people who enjoy selfies.

I see you have a Sprint S4.
I just tested the tutorial again and I was able to install GTalk.
Follow the steps exactly.
If you still fail to install GTalk, as I mentioned in the op, I've tested this on an M919, not other devices. If you've followed the steps exactly, then there appears to be an issue installing GTalk on the Sprint S4.
Thanks a lot

You can always try moving it with TiBu and see what happens.
Have a Nandroid just in case
I am using Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.2. I never installed the update to GTalk from play store since it was going to replace it. Anyways I got a an OTA update of about 80mb I installed it and I got a software Play Games and my GTalk has been replaced with hangouts. From the app manager menu when I go to the hangout app it only shows the force stop and disable option and not the uninstall option. In the playstore it is showing me that there's an update to it. How can I remove this crap software? I cannot root due to warranty issues, sorry.

The tutorial I posted requires Titanium Backup which requires root.. You also need a file explorer.

Thanks for replying. Yea I have already checked that, any tutorial for the non-rooters?
I was flashing a new ROM to my Sprint S3 when I accidentally wiped internal storage (where I had my backup and my CM). Now I have no OS and no recovery files on my phone. I backed everything up on TiBu and moved the files to my laptop just in case, but I cant figure out how to access them from TWRP. Any ideas? Im trying not to panick because I know you guys can fix pretty much anything, but I need my phone for work in the morning. Thanks in advance.

You need to go into advanced settings in TWRP and sideload a rom, or if you have a sdcard reader put it in your pc and load a rom onto it.
Thank you!

Honestly, it all depends on your personal phone. My friends seem to work better with a 3rd party kernel while mine only works well with the stock CM one or Touchwiz one.

Did you try going into settings, then adding facebook as an account? I always use google to auto sync contacts it makes things easier.

I did. I have rebooted and resynced, still nothing. It even has a little check mark next to it, so it thinks its synced. Could it have something to do with my fb security settings?

Have a look here: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-mi-5-mi-6-mi-mix-mix-2-mi-note-2-miui-10-global-stable/
Just download the rom for the Redmi Note 5, and then install it manually. It's the Global version, btw. I did this with mine and it feels even more snappier. Nonetheless, there is some behaviour with the navigation bar, and perhaps some notifications won't arrive to your lockscreen because there are notification channels per app now. I highly recommend looking for those channels (just hold the notification for a few seconds and then tap on "All categories", and then config each option. If for some reason problems are still showing, perform a factory reset via Settings > Advanced settings > Backup and restore.
Hope you find this useful

In theory, you shouldn't lose any data. My recommendation, perform a backup using Google Drive (Settings > Additional settings > Backup and restore, and then choose Google backup, not MIUI's).
As for photos, videos, WhatsApp messages and stuff like that, my recommendation is to backup your WhatsApp chats with Google Drive, then set Flight Mode on and move each folder of the internal storage to a SD card. Only after having done this, remove your SD card and perform the update. It's your best choice so as not to lose any data.
After your phone is back on again, only remains moving back those folders from the SD card to the internal storage. Easy peasy

Hey, is there a way to restore my messages from google drive?
I uploaded backup, made an update and I can't restore it becouse "device is not active" -_-.

Yes, it is possible to restore your messages from Google Drive if you have previously backed them up. If you're receiving a message saying that your device is not active, here are a few things you can try:
1. Make sure your phone is properly connected to the internet
2. Try logging out of your Google account and logging back in
3. Check if you are using the same Google account that you backed up your messages with
4. Try restarting your phone and then attempting to restore your messages
5. Check if you have given necessary permissions to the app to access your Google Drive backup
If none of the above works and you are still unable to restore your messages from Google Drive, try contacting Google support for further assistance.
