[Q] titanium backup question - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello i made backup on my friend s phone, which includes all his apps and data using titanium, i did not backup system apps as i dont need them, but i made back up of all his user apps with their data.
can i take his titanium back folder and then restore all his apps on my phone will all his apps and data too.

yup, that'll work. i do that all the time with all my devices. with paid apps, it will restore but not run unless the owner google account is synced too.

I hope that TB has a security feature for that. Copying user data from a device to another one can be identified as hacking...

Hmm, you are right but then it would be a stealing too which is not encouraged without the other knowing it

I just delete them, if you mess up, you can always ODIN restore your phone or just reflash the ROM.

Changing ROMs recommend that you wipe everything. Titanium back up is pretty good. Research it a bit because I don't know about app scores.

how do i backup on titanium if after i delete everything titanium is also gone?
Once you reboot into your new system just install titanium backup, it automatically finds where you have backed up everything on your storage

but do game scores and things in game save?
Titanium Backup backs up your apps plus the data. So yes, your saved games as well.

Make sure to use CWM to backup your current rom before you wipe.

Seems like it could be quite useful. What about data? Will it retain data for apps, or just the app itself? And do you have the choice to retain data for certain apps or not?
Maybe you could create two zip files, one for just apps and another for apps+data...

Well, and yes this backups data, 12 of my 39 applications that required uninstalling and redownloading.
Depends on the the tool though. MyBackup Root still works beautifully for all data restoring needs.
This was such a better option though. I was excited. I wish there was an option for no data :/

mybackup pro has that i can just backup apps and thats it. i dont need to backup the app data either, or even other data like contacts, mms,sms, etc...

i know what i said, i'm saying that in the MyBackup Pro App you backup/restore apps and if you want you can backup the data that the app contains, you can backup/restore regualr data like txt messages, system settings, MMS, contacts that are saved in the phone, call logs.

So, if I am understanding correctly what this app does, it will create a zip file of JUST your apps, and when flashed, will restore the backed up apps to /data/app
I use TB to backup my data, and HATE to restore any data for apps until AFTER I have fully tested the ROM with my apps and no data restores, so this would be awesome!
And yah, I know TB does this, but if this is a simple one click thing, would make it super easy for me, and the price couldn't be better

Very nice app and much needed.

[Q] I've had my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II since October 30 of last year

Almost a year now, haha
I haven't rooted and/or put a custom rom such as cyanogen mod or anything, although I have been curious.
If I do go ahead and do it, how would I keep all my data and stuff, like pictures, contacts, messages, game data, etc.?
And how easy would it be to revert back to the stock T-Mobile ICS rom and stuff including the unroot, e.g. factory (how I got it)
This is the general statement and I might have more questions about this later

Stuff like pictures are stored on your SD card and wont get wiped by flashing a ROM. Stuff like programs and settings can be saved with Titanium Backup.
Don't I have to root to use titanium backup? In turn, doesn't that wipe everything?

No, rooting only gives you root access. All it does is give you permissions that you or apps will usually don't have. Like stated earlier deleting data or system will not delete your files and pics. To do that, you will have to format your SD or internal card. Quite different from rooting.

Back your pics up to a computer. Game data, messages, etc., can be restored via titanium backup or other similar apps. Your contacts should be backed up on your Google account. You can log into the account on a PC to confirm this.
I'm not sure on the unroot process or the level of difficulty since I've never done it.
Rooting does not wipe your data as previously mentioned.

I used it religiously for over a year but have since stopped. Its nice and might do you some good, but rooting and flashing a custom ROM will alleviate most battery problems.
I read that Tasker is a good app for managing your phone, battery, and a lot of neat things.
Is it worth the $6.49?
Also, do I need to unlock the bootloader?
You would lose all of your app data and that kind of stuff but don't worry about your pictures. Also, just backup your contacts to your SIM than restore it after you flash what you want. Also, it is super easy to unroot. Check in the dev section. You will find stuff about returning to stock.

Absolutely. I'd pay at least twice that for Tasker. Here's some ideas for what you can set up with Tasker.

"I read around and learned that I need the Android SDK, but how would I unlock the bootloader?"
You dont have to unlock bootloader because it is not locked.

Ah, thanks!
I also called T-Mobile asking what voids a warranty and the lady told me that I can do anything I want to my phone and it doesn't void the warranty! As long as it isn't physical or liquid damage.

Cracked Screen :(...how to retrieve data?

How do I retrieve data from the phone like saved games and stuff like that? I am not worried about photos as all that was backed up to drop box. Calendar and contacts were synced to my gmail account.
If you purchased through the Android market then its associated with your gmail so you dont have to repay, just re download

Did you happen to have developer settings and USB debugging on? What kind of data also?

I was rooted and I think I had those options turned on.
You could use adb (using adb pull)to get the data off the phone. I am not really sure but it could also be possible to copy the data over using adb shell and dumping the files over the sd card.
Titanium backup, if you were rooted im guessing this something you might have had installed on your phone. That should install the apps and data onto your new device. You just have to root the new device first.
