I currently use Titanium Backup to restore my apps after flashing a new ROM but i was wondering if there was a quicker way to do this. What are some good alternative ways that you guys use to restore applications onto new ROMs I flash a lot of ROMs daily so this would be very helpful.:victory:
I suggest u buy the full version it does things much faster, u can try my backup

No, use titanium backup for that. Stay away from system settings/data cause it will mess things up.

So titanium to backup and restore before and after flash with rom manager, right?

Yes, but also make a nandroid (rom manager backup) for safety before flashing.

I always do a nandroid backup, i think this is the safeest option.
Ya exactly....nandroid is very important.....very safe....

Titanium just backs your apps, fully, with settings & all, so you can restore them when you go from one rom to another. Left my Desire identical to before after installing Leedroid rom: same apps, same settings, wallpaper, shortcuts... Great if you dont want to reinstall & configure apps. But it messed with my Market, obliging me to wipe Market's data & cache from time to time. It is very confusing & I dont know to what degree use it, really.
Nandroid makes a full copy of all your system, and you want to use it when you are not happy with a new rom, or disaster happens, and want to roll back.
So they are meant for different things
Hi,
I'm collecting information about backuping the original rom. I have a brand new Desire and I'd like to root and get some custom rom. Is there any way how to backup my software state for restoring and eventual warranty repairs?
My rom is unavailable everywhere on the Internet. And yes, I did searches but didn't get the full-range answer. Tnx

I've noticed that some ROMS do not suggest restoring apps with data when using titanium backup. Can someone please explain to me why this is so? and for an app that the majority of root users have, why hasn't there been any adjustments on either end to bridge the gap of incompatability?
I just think it sucks that titanium backup is supposed to be able to restore your apps onto a new rom like you never deleted them, but it messes things up when you try
I think restoring apps is fine, its the data that gets u. I dont do sny of thst, i always clean install then reinstall my apps, its not like it takes very long and i love the fact that i never have any issues at all with roms

Different roms handle data uniquely..... say you have all your apps on a stock incredible Rom if you flash a custom incredible Rom restoring data shouldn't be a problem.....but when you flash a ported Rom like an evo or z based Rom that's where you get in trouble because all of your data was based off of an incredible Rom.

Well maybe just stick to incredible framework roms and u wont have to deal with that prob

You generally shouldn't migrate data between different ROMs...if you're on Cyanogenmod 7 and you update to a newer build you should be fine, BUT if you go to a different ROM you should only restore the app...certain apps you can get away with restoring the data too, but DO NOT migrate system data.
Hi guys,
I just started flashing my phone with custom roms and was wondering what the best program is to backup a rom/ just settings, apps and contacts; to save me all the trouble of downloading each app aswell as setting up the settings again.
As im new to this i would really appreciate it if someone could explain how to go about doing all this.
Thanks for all your help.

There are some Market apps that are useful for this - Titanium Backup and MyBackup in particular. I use TB myself and find it excellent. However I think the free version may require you to confirm each time you restore. Worth checking both out - both have free and paid versions available, so try the free ones and see which you like best.
preacher65 is right.
As for backing up your complete ROM i suggest you use CWM recovery, which you used to flash custom ROMs with, to backup your ROM (aka Nandroid). You'll find an option in the recovery for backup, or alternatively you can do it via ROM Manager.
Nice thing about this is that when you flash something and your phone doesnt boot, you can just go into recovery and choose 'Backup and Restore'>'Advance Restore' and choose only a certain part(.img file) of the backup to restore.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Also i was wondering if i was to back my settings nd apps nd contacts from a RCMIX3D KINGDOM ROM and restore it on a LeeDroid ROM or any other custom rom, is it possible to do this or will there be a problem because of the 2 different roms?

There are mixed opinions on this, so this is based on my experience.
I think Contacts should be fine, as they're pretty much a standard format from ROM to ROM (someone will correct that if I'm wrong, I'm sure - I use Google contacts so mine are always synced).
User apps should be okay to restore, at least if you just choose to restore the app only - it's recommended to only restore data for apps selectively, when you really need to. Don't restore any system apps across different ROMs, though.
And phone settings are likely to be incompatible, as the two ROMs have a different HTC base (0.81.651.0 for Kingdom, 2.36.405.8 for Leedroid).

I was using the Titanium Backup to restore the apps after installing a new ROM, but it ask permission to install every app (I have about 100 apps).
Do someone know an easy and free way to restore a lot of apps after installing a new ROM?

Look for ic_backup and ic_restore here on XDA. These are flashable zips from recovery. Sorry, cannot upload them atm.

Many thanks!!!
After a little bit of googling I found the ic_backup and ic_restore:

It will be very easy to install a new ROM now
The paid version of Titanium allows batch restore. It will also restore to previous app location (int or sd) if that box is checked.
I been searching the forum and having a hard time looking for the type of help I need. I have a Desire Z running Cyanogen Mod I think version 9. I want to back everything up and restore it to an HTC One. What is the best/easiest method? I want to keep ALL apps/data. Will Rom Manager or Titanium Backup do the Trick?
I would advise against it, not only are you going from one phone to another but different android versions. If it were me I would just install apps from market and then set up everything fresh, but feel free to try titanium, some of it could restore ok
