Just tried to back up my files using this app, which I've done many times on the ICS firmware, however the version on the new JB update is different and states that only system apps will be backed up, but apps with downloaded data will not, so literally all the apps on the phone. Before this wasn't an issue and it backed up everything, all apps.
can anyone help/explain how to solve this?
seems normal for me, can backup all downloaded stuff too, if this (as per image attached), mine .200, unlocked BL, rooted.

Try with Sd card or use ICS backup restore app

You'll have to backup to a USB drive via OTG, then you can backup media files and downloaded apps with data.

Yep realised this, which is strange because it never used to be like that.
I downloaded the old app from ICS and it installs and works fine!
You can install old backup and restore app

Titanium Backuo isn't restoring my apps after in have backed them up. I am a paid user. I have gone as far as uninstall/reinstall....delete the folder containing the backup files...deleting only backup files. Still whenever I flash a new ROM or simply want to restore my apps...the progress bar shows activity yet nothing is restored. Anyone else have a similar problem

Is you "sdcard" partition mounted? If you are doing this with your USB cord plugged in, try taking it out while doing a backup/restore.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing a problem like that. I haven't had that happen to me. Are you updated to the latest version of Superuser?

Deleting your backup files? Thats not a good idea. Titanium doesn't store on the cloud so you are out of luck mate..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Titanium can store to dropbox.
Do you have "unknown sources" ticked under security settings before you started restoring? I know its basic answer but let's do this step by step.
If this isn't doing it try backing up one app with a different backup prog and see if that restores.
Go to the market and uninstall titanium backup and reinstall again...now when youll open titanium backup it will create the directory again on your sd card and the backup will work..

I am doing full wipe almost every week because of new developments on Sandvold´s ICS. Is it possible to quickly reinstall all apps and widgets after a full wipe? How?
Titanium backup from market or my backup root what i use because u can just save the app without all the data. Just backup all apps then put the backup file on ur computer, then once u have flashed rom update just download the app again off market then send ur backup file back to ur phone(usb) then using the app to restore apps

For me (using BCM ICS) it works great with the google backup. Just choose to backup settings like apps, Wifi passwords etc via Google. When I enter my google password the first time using the new rom, it asks if it should restore my settings. It then downloads all of my apps directly from the play store. However for most apps it doesn't include your app data, but that's OK for me.

I have installed Titanium (free version), and it says:
(...)
Hypershell (fast): NO (only for donators)
Apps installation fast/auto: No (Hypershell required)
(...)
I guess Titanium only does the full backup, with fast apps installation if I donate, right?

The free version of Titanium also restores all your apps with data but you have to confirm each app to be restored. This can be somewhat annoying if you have lots of apps to restore.

But I cant find "Google Backup" on play store. What is the name of the app?
PS: Ive already installed Titanium, but I also wanted to know about "Google Backup"
It's not on Play store. It is found under settings in aosp and >= Sense 2.1 roms. It remembers apps list and starts downloading them after you flash a new rom. I hate this feature.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
Right, it's nothing you need to install. It should be at Settings -> Backup & reset -> "Back up my data".
It can be a bit annoying, especially if your device immediately starts to download tons of data before connecting to wifi, eating up your mobile data limit. (However this backup includes wifi passwords, too). So if you don't have unlimited data, just ensure your device connects to wifi after restoring your google account.
Re:
From what my friend told it should work with the Play Store.
it doesn't seem to be possible with all roms though? Only once my past apps have installed automatically...
Just got done rooting my ATT GS3, and flashed Cyanogenmod10 onto it. Before I did a full Titanium Backup, and did a backup of my previous ROM on CWM. When I got everything sorted in Cyanogenmod I noticed that my contacts weren't syncing, so I tried to restore them with Titanium Backup. All this did was give me an annoying error where something kept crashing, so I had to clear the data from my contacts app.
Then I found somebodies advice on the forum that said the restore the data from the recovery image I had on CWM. This was terrible advice and left Cyanogenmod frozen on the splash screen. So I reinstalled CM10 and got everything working fine again. Now my question is, is there any way to get my contacts back from my previous stock image, or the backup I made in Titanium before I flashed CM10? I've looked around and haven't found anything that works yet
Thanks

Your contacts will sync the second you enter your gmail info. Google syncs and backs them up automatically.

Sorry I forgot to mention that, for some reason, my contacts weren't backed up with my google account. I have no idea why this is, but when I try to sync them with google I get nothing.

When I try to back up Contacts Storage and reboot, contacts crashes and then I continuously get the message processes.acore has stopped working. The only way I can get this to stop is if I clear data from the contacts app
Ok. Another way when moving between ROMs.
Install GoContacts free app. This app allows to export contacts and import after a new ROM flash. The safest method i can think of.

I never told to use it. Install it, export, freeze/uninstall. And when needed, install/defreeze, import, uninstall/freeze. Simple. Plus I use GoContacts from over an year ago, not the GoContactsEx version.

A general query.
I switched from samsung Y pro DUOS to samsung grand quattro. I had my old device rooted and had a titanium backup. That folder is also available in my laptop. Is there any way to have my contacts etc back again on my new quattro??
Btw, previous device got washed thoroughly! So all i have is a "titanium backup" folder.
PS: In no mood to root my new device.

Did you backup with contacts to your google account? If so, that's a way to get them back.
Otherwise, you'll have to root your device.
P.S.: This is the S3 section.
Another sort of general question on doing app+system data full backup on the SG3 using Titanium
Assuming I own the 16GB version, I've rooted and installed custom recovery on the device. I've done a custom recovery backup (TWRP or whatever)
Now I'm ready to install my custom rom zip and gapps, but say I have like 100+ downloaded apps with app data & whatnot, so I have Ti Backup installed and do a complete 'apps+system data' backup file...
but my internal 16GB memory doesn't have enough spare room to store the complete Ti backup file in addition to my existing system files, existing custom recovery backup file and existing apps and data/junk. And my options for cloud storage, lets say Google Drive or Dropbox, don't have enough room either.
Is my external SD card (say a 32 GB card in the slot) and option for backup of the Ti backup app+system data file? Will that Ti backup file be readable by the phone once I flash the custom rom on the phone? Or does stock ROM touchwiz format the external microSD card a certain way that once I flash a different custom ROM like CM, that external SD card and all its data is now unreadable?

No the external will work fine as that was always my default storage location. But a word of advice. Backing up your system data is a bad idea.

Never follow videos, they are seldom done by anyone that really knows what they are doing. The issue is with restoring the data. Like you say you are doing it on your HTC one. If you were to restore that system data on a non HTC device or a non Sense rom (if you are using a sense rom) you will corrupt the system data forcing you to reflash from scratch.

Yes your better off saving just user apps. This normally backs up game save data as well but doesnt always work across devices due to different layouts of the partitions.

You're in the S3 section (SGH-I747). But that being said, if you had your Google account connected to your device, it should restore all your contacts you had on it.
So can you backup and restore contacts using Titanium Backup?

Ok. good to hear. However I would not recommend restoring nandroids through any app. You should always do your backups/restore through your actual recovery. As far as your FC issues go, it sounds like you restored some incompatible app and/or system data through TB.. You need to be careful restoring specific data through TB when jumping between TW and AOSP ROMs.
Try clearing your cache and/or data through settings for any app giving you issues before attempting anything else.

Also i noticed that a folder called "0" has been created on my phone and it is a exact copy of all my folders. Can this be deleted?

It happen to me sometimes when I connect phone to PC it said hardware id missing. What I did is change to other USB port on PC sometimes it help bit sometimes not so I restart PC and reboot the phone. After start up I plug the USB most of the time it solve my problem.
When you use CWM to back restore back, make sure that CWM is the one you use to backup prior flashing custom rom. It happen as well to me after update to the latest CWM I can't restore it said file not found. When I odin back CWM to the one I used when I backup my nandroid, it works.

You might wanna try different usb cables (prefer blackberry), different usb ports, and/or reinstalling the drivers. If none of this helps try the same troubleshooting steps on a different pc. That will tell you if it is indeed the phone or your pc.
A "0" folder was created as a second sd partition because you had flashed an AOSP ROM. That is your internal sd card so if you're on AOSP you don't wanna delete that folder. If you're on TW, which I can assume you already are, you can delete "0" but only AFTER you've transferred all your important content from the "0" folder back into their originating folders, or wherever you want them to be, on the root of your internal sd card. Otherwise, you will lose all your content.

Restoring apps causes problems mostly if you try to install JB-only apps onto ICS or ICS-only apps onto GB.
Certain Play Store apps have multiple versions, for example one for ICS only, one for GB only etc.
Problems occur if the apps installation fails, one possibility is above, but there are others aswell.

So, is it safer to download the app from play store, to get the right version as you said, and then restore the data using TB
Or will it change the apps version.
I often change rom so app data is always deleted.

Download the app from Google Play and restore the data only. It works fine. I have used this method many times when switching from CM10.1 to stock ROM and vice versa.

This method is OK since you restore the data without touching the main app, so it doesn't matter which ROM you install the app on.
