What to restore with Titanium Backup

I made backup for all user+system apps including data and flashed new ROM. What do you recommend to restore now? Only user apps or system apps + data as well? I'd like to restore as much as possible, but I'm not sure how system data is compatible accross different ROMs.

I don't recommend you to restore system data with an exception of data usage of you use it. However, if you don't want to set up everything again, you should have too much trouble with restoring non-custom Rom related settings

The safe way is to restore only user apps+data. However, you can try this:
1. Restore user apps+data
2. Make a nandroid backup
3. Restore system data
You could restore the nandroid backup if you encountered problems after restoring the system data.

advanced restore menu in cwm

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.

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.

Nandroid vs clean flash

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?

[Q] Botloop after restoring nandroid backup

Hi everybody!
I'll explain to you my problem: i had SkyDragon v15 custom rom and i made a nandroid backup of it. I were used to restore my stock rom with another nandroid and vice versa.
today i flashed cyanogen mod for my one x, but none of previous nandroid backups works(i still have the rom zip and all the backups on my phone). I tried even wiping dalvik and data, but without luck.
what could be the problem?

Flashed the boot.img from the particular nandroid backup you want to restore ?
And before restoring a nandroid you must make a full wipe !

[Q] Restoring from CWM Backup

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
