Can you guys share your expertise on how you restore all your email settings after flashing a new rom?
I have become a flashaholic and its a pain re-entering details of my 6 or 7 email accounts every time i flash a new rom.
I use TB (free) to restore my apps.
thanks in advance.
I searched for this by myself just today!
According the changelog of TB ( http://www.titaniumtrack.com/changelog/titanium-backup/5-5-2-1 ) it can backup accounts now on JellyBean. I saw this option in TB (paid version) but haven't tried to restore it for now. Maybe you will also have to backup the data of your mail App.
Anyone can share their idea of how they are restoring accounts??
I don't want to use TB as I hear it causes problems when restoring settings.

Hi all,
Has anyone found a solution yet to fully backup your current email settings on the desire so can easily be restored when update or flash a new rom.
I use Backup Pro but there are no options to backup email settings
regards
Titanium backup has the option to backup email accounts, I haven't used it so I don't know if it will fit your needs but just try it out.
cheers will give it a try - it's the only thing that's not backed up on my phone and with half-a-dozen setup it's a pain to redo them everytime i update
Welcome,
I've like to ask you which method is the best to backup/migrate my contacts and sms box before changing rom? My goal is to backup phonebook (which is connected to FB) and sms box before running ROM MANAGER and updating from Revolution to Cyanogen ROM. After updating soft I'd like to restore inbox and contacts into new rom. I've tried backing up data and restoring while flashing but after restoring rom goes back into Revolution. Any ideas for most convenient way to achive my goal?
Your contacts should automatically be synced to your Google Account... check this in your Gmail account (Click "Contacts" on the left).
For SMS i use an App called GOSMS for my messaging and it also has a backup feature in it. It also has the advantage of being a lot better than the stock messaging app.
This solution worked for me great! I didn't also noticed earlier export to sd functionality in my DHD contacts.
Thanks!
Cheers, after reading this I have just noticed export to SD card option in contacts.
This is just what I was looking for.
That was a good find. I also had not noticied this. Nice way to keep backups. I will check the gosms thing later.
Maybe you can try mybackup (pro) from market. It works good for me all the time and you can also backup and restore your system settings, apps, even with data if necessary.
I use SMS Backup & Restore. It is easy to use and you can do regulary Backups

Thank you! You have given me an idea and I found free app on the marketplace: SMS Backup Android. Back up is a sore point when it is too late.
Has anyone been able to successfully backup gmail accounts and restore them using Titanium Backup? I have multiple accounts (work and personal) and it would be nice to be able to restore all of them without having to reenter them manually. I have tried backing up Gmail 2.3.4 and Accounts and Sync Settings 2.3.4 and upon restoring either of them my accounts are not restored....any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

dont think any software does backups on user name and password for gmail unless its a nandroid. You have to find the right gapps that will restore your other stuff. Look around and check since its a nice feature to just put in your info and have all your apps and settings return. Entering your own account information is also like a security issue with google. Dont think your going to see that function with any 3rd party app... Good thought tho I guess
Thanks for the quick response. Ya, the version of GAPPS I have works great I was just hoping to have something like this. I know when I was on Windows mobile, someone wrote a program (SASHIMI) that we were able to input our email, wifi, etc accounts to be inputed when we ran the program...guess I was kinda hoping to have something to similar with Android....guess thats the downside of being a flash-aholic....lol...thanks again for your response.
The ability to backup Gmail, especially if one has several Gmail accounts, with Titanium would be very helpful in the restoration process and repair when then get corrupted.
good morning
I first want to apologize for my English, I write from Spain.
I use in my OneX the HD revolution mike rom 6.1.1. Mike currently has released the new version 7.0.0 on a new base of HTC.
The question I have is that I now fully configured 6.1.1 rom to my taste, and to load the new version 7.0 should do a full wipe.
You start from scratch you to configure, or you employ a program to backup and restore, and to write the roms automatically configured to your liking?
I have seen many people use the titanium backup, but as a new base, I have to copy EVERYTHING? I do not know if it really is effective
I hope you have understood me, thank you very much in advance!
I use Ultimate Backup Pro, but Titanium Backup Pro will also work...
Ultimate Backup Pro will let you restore all apps + data. That should take care of all your downloaded apps.
Ultimate Backup Pro also can take backup of your account settings (Google, Facebook, etc)
For SMS, Call Logs I use the following apps available in market
SMS Backup & Restore
Call Logs Backup & Restore
Contacts: Google, as I do not have any phone / SIM contacts. They will get loaded automatically once my Google Account Syncs
Never used the Backup tool, to restore home screens but you can give it a try... For me its just 5 minutes to setup all home screens (I take home screen screenshots to quickly remind me of what they looked like)
Hope its helpful...
My backup root is really good, will save apks, data, contact's and everything else you can think of.... And its free!

Titanium Backup for apps, games & data
SMS backup default for SMS
Up rom unlimited
but in the titanium brands copy it ALL? that would otherwise have to go manually selecting things.
And so it copies all, there will be things that "collide" with the new ROM ..
But I fear I have to copy all user apps and give, and copy the new ROM not work correctly.
If you invest in one single app for Android, it should be Titanium Backup Pro. If you only restore apps and apps data and NOT system data you will be just fine with every ROM upgrade. As was mentioned SMS Backup & Restore should be used for SMS backup, and it can also backup and restore call logs.
PS: The free Titanium Backup might be enough for you, but it can only restore apps and their data one by one, not automatically. But you might want to choose apps you restore anyway...

I can't I'm not alowed. Please help I don't kknow what to do
I dont recommend restoring backups because arhd 7.0.0 is a new base
New base - you reinstall all your apps? Very funny Just dont restore system data...
I find a metod to prevent loose all. Before install new rom, do a backup old rom.
Factory reset
Install new rom
NO REBOOT!!
factory reset again
Avanced restore-restore data
Reboot and enjoy!!

Hey everyone, first time post but a long time browser of the forums. Been flashing ROMs on my One X and have always had a problem of getting stuck in a bootloop when restoring NOT ALL but only some system data such as Mail settings, SMS messages and a few Bookmarks. So I thought I'd sign up and ask you guys the question. Currently I'm running the Team Venom ViperX 3.2.4 ROM but this has happened on previous ROMS that I have tried. Now I know from previous research that you shouldn't restore all system data in Titanium Backup, but surely a few SMS text messages and mail account settings shouldn't cause this? Or maybe im just being really dumb and not understanding the obvious. However I'd like to get an answer from this great community, as im getting tired of doing reset after reset. :fingers-crossed:
Many thanks everyone.

It's not recommended to restore system apps/data using titanium. Don't do it especially between different Android versions, or between Sense/AOSP ROMs. It'll mess thing up, like you noticed. If you, for example, backup your mail settings in CM10 and restore in ViperX, it's not going to work.
As a solution, you probably shouldn't restore system data.

Wow, thanks for the extremely fast reply:good:, that has finally put my curiosity to bed lol. Thanks for the advice!
Many thanks.

One more thing: Instead of titanium, try these lil' apps
SMS Backup
Chrome Sync bookmarks to Google account.
Don't know about email... Have you tried restoring data only?
Yeah, got Chrome already but i'll definitely try sms backup. I managed to get my Mail account settings and SMS texts from Titanium Backup but I wont use TB for system data again!
Many thanks.
Brad.
