Right now I'm using EvervolvTurba 4.2.2 ROM on my Desire and before that I've had stock GB ROM. I was wondering can I move apps from that GB ROM and all those appses settings (Like game progression/money/points etc...) to the new 4.2.2 ROM? If can, how do I do it? I have a backup of both GB and JB ROMs.
Yes of course you can
While on your 4.2.2 ROM, install another app called nandroid manager or similar, can't remember the exact name. You should be able to browse the gb nandroid backup and extract all the apps plus their data.
If that doesn't work, restore the gb backup and install another app like titanium backup to backup all user apps and data. Then restore the 4.2.2 ROM and install titanium backup and restore the apps.
You may have compatibility issues from gb to 4.2.2, so you may have to install the apps manually from the play store and then restore the data afterwards.
try titanium backup!! it is good!

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie to smart phones. I succcessful managed to create a goldcard and root my Desire to the generic HTC room using the 1 step r6 guide at modaco forums. I have managed to re-install my apps.
I'm just wondering whether it is possible to create a backup image so that if I was to go to a different rom which I didn't like I could restore the image to go back to the generic rom but with all my apps installed. Is a custom rom with all my apps on there the same as an image???
I read some stuff about nandroid here but it seems confusing and says that you need to create seperate backup for app settings.
sorry not sure if what I am saying is making sense.
Thanks for any help
I did a bit more reading and I guess it's not possible to backup an image and restore like you can with a hdd. So I can only restore to the provider or stock Roms, I would have to backup my settings and apps using an app like titanium but it won't allow me to update these apps unless I use the paid version?

Yes there is. User ROM Manager. I'm using it to switch back between Froyo and 2.1 Sense. Just create a backup before you flash ROM #2, then backup ROM #2 after configuring it. Then just restore from one of the two backups. Easy as pie!

Yes, use either ROM Manager or a recovery to make a nandroid backup. It will backup everything on your phone (apps, settings, etc - not the SD card though of course). The nandroid backup created (which you can also copy to your Computer, to be on the safe side) will be a 'snapshot' of your phone.
I installed an new ROM and backed up my data and apps using Titanium, Rom Manager and Nandroid, (just to be sure) but when I restored my data and apps the desktop launcher (Sense UI) did not restore the saved 'Scenes'. I did a Nandroid restore to get everything back, including older ROM, but that was not my goal. How or what do I restore to retrieve my saved 'Scenes' into my new ROM? Thanks for any help.
What is the name of the new ROM that you are running? is this new ROM sense compatible?

Hi all,
About to root and rom for the first time on any phone and I was wondering a few things.
First, after I install clockwork mod recovery, I can make a backup... Does this backup have the ability to restore all of my apps and data after I install a custom rom? Also, does it restore things like homescreen widgets, app settings etc as well?
Secondly, after I install the rom of my choice, how does updating it to a newer version work? Will updating to a newer version wipe my phone completely or is it like receiving a stock ota update in that it doesn't erase anything?

1) The backups in clockworkmod are of your entire phone. Without a 3rd party app such as titanium you won't be able to restore specific pieces of it. IMO clockworkmod backups are meant to be used to restore your entire phone if something goes wrong. Titanium has a feature where you can restore specific stuff from the backups, but I would recommend creating backups via titanium rather than relying on what was done in clockworkmod. Personally, I backup everything with titanium then do a backup in clockworkmod before I flash a rom. App settings will restore, widgets do but many times you'll have to add them again because they restore with placeholders for whatever reason.
2) Updating a rom is dependent on the specific rom and often the version. Some roms you can just flash over what you're running, sometimes an update will be significant enough to require a wipe. Even if a rom doesn't require a wipe, I'd advise at least doing a backup.
Hey I'm just trying to figure out the difference between using Titanium Back up and just making a Nandroid back up... What's the difference?
-Thanks
titanium backup is app to backup your apps (system+ user) and your data but not ROM i.e you cannot make backup of rom with that
whereas nandroid backup does all what titanium do with backup of rom too.
so you can restore titanium backup in any rom(OF YOUR PHONE) and get your data back but if you restore nandroid it will restore whole system including ROM

I'm currently running 2.3.3 stock rom, would it be better to use titanium or make a nandroid back up via CWM?

I do both. A CWM backup is a near-full restore in case something screws your phone over. Titanium Backup is there to help with switching between roms, or backing up apps for safe keeping

Nandroid backup is must as jacklebott said if you mess up with roms and got something wrong no need to flash ftf files and start over again just restore nandroid through cwm and your phone will be like it was before
in case of titanium backup its your choice as if you changed your rom and want apps of your previous rom just restore it
i recommend both as you can save them in your pc too( if your prob. is with sd card space) and when needed copy them to sd card with card reader
1) can you have more than one backup?( like a venom viper rom backup and a stock rom backup and android revolution backup?)
2) if you can have more than one backup can i basically switch from rom to rom, ( performing a factory reset then backing that preferred rom)
3) is there any way i can backup my apps on my phone to be restored when i install a new rom without having to pay, like titanium backup, you need to pay the pro version for dropbox.

You can have as many backups as the phones memory can hold, and switch back and forth between them freeley with a full wipe in between (excluding the sdcard of course).
Check out nandroid manager on the market. It can pull your apps and their data from a nandroid backup and restore them to your current rom.

ok cool, when i use nandroid backup to restore the apps from the nandroid backup will the apps still be on that backuped rom on twrp?
Yes it does not change the backup files in any way.
