[Q] How do i install clockworkmod or titanium back up? - LG Optimus G (International)

title says it all

1)Root, install freegee
2)Titanium Backup in the Play Store

link to freegee install>

wait i am rooted. i just want to install a rom

You'll need to FreeGee if you want ClockWork Mod (a custom recovery). It comes with FreeGee stock, but is kind of broken. I suggest TWRP.
Titanium backup is just app, and you can get that from the app store.

What is TWRP? Titanium Backup (free version)?

Rom manager and well..roms

Hi there, I currently have a desire HD that is rooted, s-off and clockwork mod installed. However before I install a (CM6) I was wondering if I do a nandroid backup of my current stock rom. If i then install CM6 then say I want to go back to the stock rom do I simply launch rom manager again then restore from back up? Is that it?
Thank you very much for your time!
Yes, as simple as that.
It just sound..well all to easy Haha! So simply back up using titanium then nandroid install Rom from sd then say I make a back up of this non-stock Rom and then boot into recovery again and restore using backup of original Rom everything will be back to normal? (would there be any chance I could restore again using back up of the Rom I downloaded and it'll be back in that version again?) Thanks!

How to create a .zip file for all apps and data

I have Titanium Backup PRO and it works fine but is a pain.
When I say its a pain, its because when I flash new roms multiple roms per day, I always need to install the gapps and then go to the market and download the Titanium Backup app and the licence for the Titanium Backup PRO to work with a single click restore. Then I must wait till all apps are restored and then reboot. Takes about 20 minutes. I would like this time to be shorter and a simple install right after the rom is installed like a .zip install within the clockwork mod recovery just like the .zip for the gapps.
Is there a way to take the apps from Titanium Backup PRO and the system data and make them a .zip so I can flash them in Recovery mode?
Even if you cant do the system data, is there a way to have a .zip that I can install in CWM Recovery mode?
Any help for this is greatly appreciated.
This can be done but there is a app called apo2zip not sure how it works on jb though

titanium backup pro allows you to create a flashable .zip that will install titanium backup as either a user or system app (your preference). you can flash it after your rom, boot up, restore your pro key then do a batch restore of all your apps. cuts out a bit of the hassle.

Don't know of any tool that will convert TiB backups to cwm flashable .zip. However, you can create an update.zip of TiB itself within the app, which can be flashed using a custom recovery. Saves your from the hassle of signing in with your google account and downloading plus installnig TiB + pro key from the play store before you can use it.
BTW: flashing multiple ROMs per day? Talking about heavy usage.
Yes this is what I was looking for. Just didn't know how to do that. Didn't know titanium backup pro did this option.
I have roms I like and those that work on some things others don't. I love the cm10 but also the aopk rom. Then on Sundays I need ICS so the Verizon NFL app will work. I use about 10gbs a month.

Use Chainfire's CF Auto Root, it will not wipe anything.

-After root install a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, ect) boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup.
-Flash GE ROM or any ROM you like
-You can nandroid restore back to any backup you have made
-It's also a good idea to use Titanium Backup or similar app to backup user's apps and data, it make setting up your phone much quicker going from ROM to ROM.

It's the same with CWM or TWRP. You can only restore what you backup.
Boot into TWRP recovery and chose "Restore" it should pick up any "backup" files you have made (if internal sd card is use make sure to look at internal sd and if extrenal sd is use look in external sd). Your backup file will be saved in a folder label TWRP (again same for both internal and external sd).
If you have given a name to your backup file look for the name you want to restore. Once everything is chosen, swipe the slider to restore.

Can you confirm if I am understanding "rooting" properly?

So here is what I think I know. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3.
I have successfully rooted and installed cyanogenmod.
I have twrp for a custom recovery.
I have made a nandroid backup. With that if I ever screw anything up I can restore to the exact settings/content of the backup correct?
I have titanium backup pro and have backed up my apps and settings. When a new firmware gets released I boot into custom recovery, wipe my device and install the new firmware and gapps. Can I then restore my titanium backup and get all my apps and settings back? Including the individual app settings and saves? Do I still need to install gapps?
Thanks in advance.

Backup

Hey there!
I have a question? What's the best option for backing up my whole device? I want to flash CM 12.1 but I need TWRP for that, and for TWRP, I need to unlock my bootloader, which (according to people here) means to wipe my data and apps.
If I use the Backup app pre installed in my phone, will I be able to restore if say... I re-flash my stock ASUS ZenUI ROM again?

Yes you can restore from the backup using the stock Asus backup app if you decide to go back too stock. If you stick with cm12.1 then I would use titanium backup from the play store to backup and restore apps from a custom rom. However titanium backup also works with the stock rom but if it restores stock apps on a custom rom they will likely crash like mad.
Fun note when I unlocked my bootloader using the unofficial method it didn't wipe my data so I didn't need to restore any app backups. As always backup anything you might need just in case something goes wrong and you need to restore anything.
Pro tip, when doing backups on a phone like that zenfone 2 if you can backup to a removable sdcard cause if something goes wrong and you cant power on your phone you will always be able to access the backups using a sdcard reader.
