You have to wipe data. Just use titanium backup to back up your apps.

when you use titanium backup do you lose app data? (eg. game saved progress)

No you can choose to back up both your apps and their data as well as system data so you won't lose anything.

Thread moved to Q&A.

[Q] [REQ] wipe/titanium backup tutorial? (couldnt find)

Ok when I flash a new ROM and want to do so with a clean slate/wipe, I have titanium backup to back up all my apps, but I'm still kinda unsure of the full procedure as obvious as it may seem... When I did my first wipe, I had to go back and redo all of my information for everything on the phone. Is this typical? What I mean by that is I had to input all my google account info, set up my home screens, set up my facebook app...and turn off all of my sync's...
if you don't wipe, do you have to do all of that? Does a titanium backup on apps/system data allow you to not have to do this?
is this the proper step by step:
1.Titanium backup - apps/system data
2. Rom manager -download rom w/ wipe and back up
3. load rom
4. titanium restore - apps/system data?

Just apps or apps+user data. System data varies from ROM to ROM. Plus, you have no need of multiple copies of system data.

when i flashed to virtuous and did a wipe, i did a backup before of just apps and when i restored apps+user data, it really didn't do anything. I still had to change all the configurations for everything to not sync and to put in username/password...

was shaky on this as well....what is the difference between user and system data? Just would be a pain to lose all layouts and wifi passwords.
I've been doing apps+system data each time and havn't really had any major problems to speak of

my titanium backup doesnt have an option to back up apps+user data... just apps and apps+system data

My bad on an unclear response.. When restoring from TB, it's apps+ user data. You do not want to restore system apps from a different rom. In the scheduling section of TB, There are different configurations you can choose.

any way to keep home screens and such in place?

Should be the restore desktop htc sense in TB/Restore missing apps+ all system data. That's the only 1 you should pull from there for this.

Get the paid version.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have a quesition about TB Pro. Today I flashed the CM6 ROM onto my DINC. When I reinstalled the TB Pro app onto the phone from my appmonster folder on the SD Card and opened it up to restore my apps in batch mode, TB Pro would FC whether I was trying to restore apps only, apps+data or even individual apps (not batch mode). Am I doing something wrong, am I misunderstanding how TB Pro is supposed to function, is there an incompatibility?

Try the problems button in titanium and clear its data in the application menu.

Please Help

I accidentally uninstalled "Contacts Storage 2.2.1" with titanium back up. I tried reinstalling it with titanium back up, but it does not work.
What can I do? I lost all of my contacts!

Have you tried pulling it from the original rom you flashed and pushing it into system/app through root explorer?

If u had them backed up on googles cloud thingy, u can odin stock or flash a new rom to get them back

Just reflash your ROM then you will be able to restore them with Titanium. It needs the system app installed to restore the data. OH, and if you are going to play with deleting system apps, use sdx app removal tool and back them up with the app first.

Relished and fixed.
Thanks.

i want to switch a rom please help

so i have calk vs. 2.5 and i want unnamed rom with all my app's. so when i go into recovery do i need to format all data or can i just instal the rom ??? and ik u can use titanium backup but in titanium backup is there a button restore all backed up apps? thanks!

In order to flash a completely different ROM, you need to wipe data, which will erase your current ROM and apps. You will need to use Titanium Backup to restore your apps after formatting and flashing the new ROM.
I think (not positive) TB has a batch option to restore all user apps.

Back up your apps on the current rom you are running. Use Titanium back up from the market. I usually wipe data and then back up the app. Go down the list until you got all the ones you wanted.
When you flash the new rom, flash it normally as you would going to any new rom. I use Calkulin's FORMAT ALL zip folder. It's easiest. And then flash new rom and reboot system. After you let the rom settle in for a good while, I usually reboot the phone. Then when you start setting up on the new rom, download Titanium back up again from the market. Once it's on your phone, go into the app and all the apps you backed up should be at the bottom. I usually just restore the app not the data with it.

Try not to restore system apps + data because it can cause problems when switching between ROMS.

I've never even found myself backing up/restoring system apps. I just stick to the "user apps".

Yes. Click menu then batch but it only works with the paid version of TB. I've had plenty of problems restoring apps and user data with TB on a new Rom. Yes it's quick and easy but in my opinion it's worth the time to reinstall everything you can fresh from the market.

I've always found switching roms a good time to clear out unneeded apps, just select the ones I really use and forget the rest.

Agree with this sentiment. Connected to Wi-Fi and take 10 minutes to fresh install everything so you know you aren't getting any of the conflicts that can arise using restored apps from different firmware.

[Q] Is there anyway to retain data from CM9 to AOKP/Codename

Looked for this all over forum, but no success. Heard that apps like Titanium backup dont work. Can I use Calkulins Format all w/o Data then flash AOKP or am stuck losing everything?

Titanium works fine just don't restore system apps and data ...if you use it for games and other apps it works fine
