hey
i wanted to know if i could use the advanced restore menu in cwm to restore my data from previous roms. id rather use this than titanium backup.
if i installed a fresh rom. can i go into the advanced restore menu and just restore my data from a backed up rom?

I have successfully done this in GB rom on my old HD2 and would assume it will work fine with the S3 ICS or JB. I would not try it if the new installation rom is different from the rom with the saved data.
hello guys, i am using PA rom now, but i want to test another rom, but i have so much apps and so much configurations, is all in titanium backup but every time i install a new rom i must restore data for apps i want, so i was wondering, nandroid backup can restore all my files and even the rom that i was using? and about performance, when i want to go back to PA, is better restore a nandroid backup o clean flash and reinstall all apps?
and about the procedures is like this:
Nandroid of ROM 1
wipe and flash ROM 2
wipe and restore nandroid backup.
my question is about the correct procedure to restore, do i need to wipe data before?
i like to test s much roms but is so bad to take about 3 hours to configure everything when i come back to the i was before.
thanks in advance

Titanium Backup and Carbon(Helium now ) doesn't cause any issue due they restore only /data/data/APP datas
Wipe data is need (ALWAYS) over Rom switching for different Settings and Features, e.g:
AOKP -> PA : Full data wipe ( i prefer add wipe system due nightly script recovery that keep gapps ) + Restore Carbon is right procedure
Pa -> Pa: in theory you need only wipe cache & dalvik
Nandroid is evil, restore nandroid data backup is same of dont do anywipe due nandroid make image of data partitions, and reflash it
Nandroid is usefull only as backup ( data lost or nightly fail or something like this )
I suggest anyway over change rom , delete /sdcard/Android for new system base.
so use a nandroid is valid? no performance loss when using it?
i want to try codex rom but i already setup everything i wanted on PA and i dont want to flash codex, and if i dont like and want to go back to PA i must setup everything again. this is the main reason i don not flash roms to much. i few months ago i never stayed in same rom for a week, but now i am tired to setup the same things again.
so if i make a nandroid of my current rom, flash codex test a few days, and restore nandroid everything will be fine like was before?
I have a question:
If I backup my current ROM, flash a completely stock one, then restore only data from the CWM backup. Will I get back my apps and everything I installed and did on the phone？
Thanks。

yes, but be sure that data is selected for backup. also if rom system apps are moved to preload you cant restore it
guys in philz recovery i noticed under backup and restore i can backup or restore just apps or data , is it actually working ? so i can flash any rom and go too my backups and just restore all my apps and data on the new rom?just a piece of cake?
another question is if this is true , and i could be able to restore all the apps and data, can i choose some apps? i think the system apps are included in the backup and restoring them to the new rom should cause problems.
HI,
Wondering if there is a way to backup (before a wipe or between release installs) all the custom los settings and then restore these settings to the newly installed release?
A data backup would backup settings, but it also backs up the apps, I think, so it could not be restored.
Thanks for the help!
