Backup TW settings and widgets - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I tried the method via titanium/system apps and data, but can't find the touchwiz file name.
It's there a way of backing up the touchwiz screens, widgets, folders, direct dial stuff etc?

Easiest way I've found is to get the carbon backup program (written by Koush, on the play store), and backup your touchwiz home that way. (Great backup program, surprised it doesn't get more exposure.)

Widgit - titanium backup pro

Hi,
Which widgit backs up just the apps I've installed with their data? (such as game progress)
Backup all new versions seems to just backup the app & not with its data.
All user apps with data seems to backup things I don't want, such as dialer, fonts, and everything else.
I just want a widgit that does a backup of the apps I've installed with its saved data.
if you mean the extra data you download for the game i dont think that can be backed up by titanium unless you copy the folder from memory card and later put back there after restoring app from titanium
No, i mean the data as in 'saved games'
Which widgit does a backup of only the apps I've installed plus my game/app progress?

A combination of "back up all user apps + system data"; to clarify this bu's YOUR installed apps + their data not "system data" proper. Add to this a "filter by label". You'll have to set up labels in Ti BU if you haven't already, and add new apps to the appropriate label group. So theoretically you could have a combination of system and user apps backed up by filtering by label if you choose the correct b/u option.
I b/u manually, so I can't confirm your thought that the data isn't being backed up.
The one your mentioned seems to backup everything,
Bluetooth pairing , calender, calculator, accuweather etc
I wouldn't class these as 'user apps' as i didn't install them.
Pain. Lol

Setting up labels might work. I'll play around with it today and see how it works. Might make a not so manual guy outta me.

Just replicated what you noticed; it backed up data for apps that I didn't install from market, and that aren't classed as a user app, etc...
Applied a label that I already had made (user apps, the ones that I installed and chose to be labelled as such), it backed up only these apps. You could break it down by label further, Games, etc... It just requires you to not forget to assign an app to a label.
So, when installing a new app / game, I'd need to add this to the label?

Q) Back up app

Is there any app to back up my apps and restore to the way I had it on the home screen. For when I update or change a ROM.
Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
You can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox to back up not only the apps you have installed, but also their data as well. It will save your backups to your SD card, so when you update your system memory, your backups will be safe. All that is needed is your device must be rooted to use either.

I think he was asking about restoring not only the apps but also the app icon onto the exact same place in the home screen. If that's your question...I don't think there is something like that, but it would be nice.
use a third party launcher, most of them have backup and restore options

What's the first thing you do after flashing a ROM?

I personally delete all the unnecessary apks and leave only the barebones.
I flash gapps
No but seriously, I usually install some sort of sound enhancer followed by an entire day of tweaking and customizing to my heart's content.

Next question?
I let all of my apps download from the play store then use GO Backup to restore sms and app data.
Cross my fingers and hope it boots

Expand? What do you tweak..? ROM?
I have CM10 but have never changed anything about it besides the kernel.
Restore my play store apps, restore NOVA backup, make my desired changes in ROM control, and install/tweak my kernel.
remove bloatware and apps i dont use
Play xbox for 15 minutes while phone reboots, restore my apex settings and desktop, restore my apps with titanium backup, restore contacts, and then restore my texts. Lastly, enjoy the new, smooth rom.
I check all cracks and scratches after in frustration that I can't install Rom correctly was throwing my phone around.
Like all above . Restore my data and apps

I set up my google account for my contacts and calendar. I use Titanium Backup to uninstall and freeze unneeded apps and to restore my apps and data. Restore SMS. After that I set my screens to my liking and enjoy my new ROM.

Titanium backup and downloading any missing apps from google play> my apps>all ( If I d/l an app, dont like it and uninstall it it still appears under "my apps>all" which is a bit inconvenient since i wont use it or need it. BUT these can be deleted manually so I keep this neat by only having the apps I use here. Makes the restore/update process MUCH easier.)
I also synch google account for contacts/calendar
Once it is all to my liking I performa a FULL clockwork backup. This way the ROM is nice and clean and set up when it is time to restore at a later point.

Probably going to get a Note 2 soon, coming from an S3

I am running CM10 on my current S3. Can I export my SMS/MMS from the S3 to the Note 2 or will I loose them? Everything else on the phone is either in the cloud or a program that I need to re-install so it's not an issue. Thanks!
Pretty sure there is a app that backs up sms

I have titanium backup and I know that does, I just don't know if it restores to a different device correctly
Search for sms backup+
Backups to gmail account just like email.
But then again you are on cm10. That might make a difference.

Use sms backup+ for texts and as for apps and such drag your titanium backup file over and restore
It will work. Titanium backup. But besure to restore asap. It will disorient the order or wipe the newer stuff. I brought my stuff from my samsung infuse. The note 2 and s3 are damn near the same phone software wise. Especially if you go aosp to aosp.
You can cloud the titanium backup via dropbox. But its a bit weird. Id just save it to the sdcard and swap.

What apps do you install first after switching to a new rom

Hey guys!
The title says it all! I am wondering what apps you guys believe are a must have right after you flash a new rom.
My first ones are Xtreme Alarm clock and To.do. Both are brilliant at what they are meant to do!
Stryg
I don't download apps when i install a new ROM for the first time. I restore my apps through TWRP. I use app2zip to generate the scripts.
----------------------------------------------
Phone: Galaxy s2 t989
Rom: PACman 21.0.1
Kernel: PAC
I'm full of great idea's, but don't have the time to create them or learn the coding to create them. If you want to make one of my ideas a reality just message me and I will give you my idea as specific as possible.
ideas:
-launcher/lock screen
-line rider type game where you control the character
-2d fighting game like art of fighting for the SNES
-multiplayer fps where you create your own map with a creative mode (minecraft style)
-roller coaster tycoon style game
-get phone out of sleep mode
-many more!
Just message me which idea you want info on and I'll tell you!

I reinstall all necessary and desired apps from the play store by sliding going to the "my apps" page, and sliding over to the "All" apps pane and individually choosing. This is because I know sometimes, depending on what rom and phone I'm restoring to, there may be some apps that I see as obsolete and choose not to reinstall. Then, using the app "Datasync" I pull down all my old settings from the apps from my dropbox account back onto my phone. Saves me 30mins of reconfiguring many of the settings. I can also automatically back up to the dropbox account using "Datasync" so that it is always up to date.
Another alternative to datasync is carbon, from clockwork recovery. And for those that are wondering, I tried setting up some "social gaming" using datasync pro on my device and a friend's, so that we could play and beat games together, like angry birds levels, etc, but datasync does a full wipe and backup for both uploads and downloads, and not partial incremental changes like I originally thought, so my social gaming idea failed.
Titanium Backup! Ever since my G1 its been my method of choosing what to restore and backup. Lol I've had it so long its before there was a pro version and you donated to unlock certain features.

I do this exact same thing when flashing a ROM from a clean start. Usually I do pick AdAway first from the list (I know it not on the Store anymore, so I install the APK from my SD. Then Root Explorer and XDA Premium, then whatever else I feel I want at the time.
On a side note does anyone know when the XDA app will be back up? It's been days (if not weeks?). My subscriptions don't show. That's the only (main) reason I paid for it. Easy access on the go to my threads.
