Changing roms l without losing data.

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade to gingervillan from the defrost 6.1 rom without losing my data and settings? Do I do a nandroid or titanium backup? I'm kinda new to the rooting scene.

You will lose your settings as you are flashing a new Rom.
1. To keep apps: titanium backup (backup apps + data)
2. If you want to keep other data such as messages etc: my backup pro (this can backup your apps too but rather use titanium for apps)

backup files are on ur microsd , nand backup should be in clockworkmod folder (if u're using clockworkmod recovery) , as for apps backed up by titanium they are in the titanium folder
when u do a wipe and flash a new ROM,just install titanium again and restore the apps u want.

Actually settings can be saved, too (Homescreen, Icons, widgets, Messages, WiFi etc. ) with Titanium backup.

you should also ofcourse do a NANDbackup if you ever want to go back to your old rom. when you restore a NANDbackup everything will look the same as before the rom change.

Titanium backup system apps?

When I do a titanium backup should I do system apps too?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have the same question.
Doesn't seem like you can restore system apps other than the data.
Are there particular system apps that it would be useful to restore the data after flashing a new rom?

I don't see an option to backup system apps. I see backup all user apps, backup all system data, and backup all user apps + system data. I do the backup all user apps + system data, then restore missing apps + all system data.
TB will backup pretty much all user-installed apps, bloatware and sense/HTC apps, but not kernel-related stuff I believe.
Hello everyone i'm just stopping by to reach my 10 limit posts so i can make a post in the developers threads.

At least you're honest.

I am using titanium pro and as I sample different roms, I wonder if I am messing up new rom installations by restoring too much.
Is there any kind of system data or app that should not be backed up and restored? Or a rule of thumb to use as a guide?
One more question, my backed up data now includes full back up from Stock, MikFroyo and CM7. Is this a mess and does it hurt to layer a backup from one rom over another?
The wisdom of experience is appreciated!

Ive used ti backup for about a year now, I just backup user apps + data. Different roms use different or themed system apps so restoring something from a different rom can cause issues. I would just stick with user apps

[Q] Saving apps, widgets, contacts etc

How could i save all my apps, widgets and stuff so if i change my rom and do a full wipe, i could easily restore them???

Try titanium backup.

You can't backup your widgets. Every time you restore your backup they have to be restored manually to your homescreens. Android limitation.

+1. But only if changing from sense rom to sense rom or aosp to aosp, otherwise there could be very strange system problems.

You can try and do a dirty install over top of Beta 7, but I wouldn't recommend it.

backup all with titanium. then you try simply instal beta 8 over 7. When it will not good, then wipe all, install 8 and restore apps from backup.

titanium backup is the best solution for this..
you can also backup apps with App Backup & Restore... it will backup the apps and restore without downloading the apps again

Titanium Backup is the way to go. I fully recommend paying for the pro version if you plan on flashing a lot.
Just search the Play Store for it.
It also has the ability to backup your phone log, messages, and wifi hotspots, which is increasingly handy.
You also have the ability to back up to GDrive and DropBox.
Just don't restore system apps or data, as you don't want to restore older versions into a new ROM.

Apps restore after New ROM replacement

Hello Gurus,
Still new to my SGN2. Just wondering how you guys restore all your apps after flashing new ROMS.
I use Titanium to backup all my Apps before flashing new ROM. But I find it very troublesome as I have to click on install each apps individually. Is there other method of restore all the apps at just one click?
