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.

I just did a restore myself with user apps+data and it had me click 'install' for every app, pain in the ass, anyway to click and go?

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.

You do not have to go to Google Play when reinstalling all your apps.
On a rooted phone, using a file explorer program, go to the data folder, then go to the app folder.
Here are all the apps that you have downloaded.
All you have to do is to make a folder on your SD card (or where ever you want) and copy all the files to that folder.
Now when you want to reinstall any or all apps, they are there to install.
I have all my apps reinstalled in about 10 minutes after flashing.

Or just use Titanium Backup. Will Auto re-install all your apps for you.

Yeah. Anyone who flashes uses titanium....it does all the work. So much faster than doing a manual install.

Make a nandroid before flashing the rom. Flash your new rom. Without leaving recovery, choose advance restore and restore Data form the nandroid you just made. Reboot.
You'll have your apps restored before ever booting your new rom.

Restoring a nandroid /data backup will, I don't think titanium can...could be wrong though. But if you do a nandroid restore, you need to be on the same type of Rom. Ie stock ics restoring a stock ics nandroid data file is fine, but if you are on asop and flash nandroid data from a stock backup it may cause issues.

If you use a 3rd party launcher, restoring it from TiBu will restore all settings in most cases.
Thanks. That makes sense. I spent a good hour laying out my icons and widgets that I did not want to go through that again but don't want to test it out to see what works.

If you use Titanium Backup, you can choose to save the layout for your TouchWiz-based home under system settings (shows up as TouchWiz), and if you restore that, it'll keep your layout, except perhaps for widget placement, if they're a third-party widget and not installed when you restore the TW settings. It'll definitely work on third-party launchers too, though.
I'm currently using an older FrostyJB rom and would like to update to the latest version. The problem is that I've spent alot of time tweaking the settings, downloading apps, and tweaking app settings to my liking.
Is there a way I can save all the apps, app settings, and data? That way after I update to the latest rom version, I can just load it up and won't have to fiddle with downloading all the apps and setting them up again.
Nandroid backup!
From cwm (rom manager)or (goo manager) from the playstore! It does a whole backup of all you're stuff.
Also titanium backup's you're apps n stuff. Either or but if u want the whole thing I suggest a NANDROID BACKUP!!!
U BETTER AXXEEEEE SOMEONE ABOUT IT! dont forget it

Titanium backup look up a tutorial vids on YouTube. You can just select backup data and then restore it after wards. Make sure you only select data not system

All of what he said.
Also it might be safe to assume you can just flash over on top of the old version, just don't report bugs if you have some, if things start acting weird and you get force closes, then wipe and start over. Longest run on ever.

Yep. Titanium backup is what you need.
Me I use app2zip in order to backup my apps and what i like about it is that it makes a zip that you can flash right after you flash a rom.
It says that if your data is not erase it will restore it but it doesn't work all the time for me so I use a different app to backup apps and phone data to restore them.
More steps than TB but free

I don't think he's looking to restore a full backup such as a nandroid. He's wanting to flash a newer version of a rom and make sure all his settings are the same afterwards. I'm sure he wants to have all his messages and bookmarks and apps and widgets to all be there afterward.
Honestly, I don't think there is such an app as I would have found it by now. I hate flashing rom updates every other day and having to restore my messages (and finding out that the backup is from a week ago so I've lost a bunch), downloading my apps and having to reset the settings (usually forgetting an app or 2 every time), not having my bookmarks anymore, etc.
I know you can restore a lot of this stuff from TB, as I usually do, but I always had worries about restoring things from one build onto another for compatibility reasons and to avoid FC's and such. I don't really think there is a foolproof way of doing what he wants. It's a little safer to do this by hand but inevitably you will lose or forget some things along the way.
Using TB I encountered many problems after a frosty upgrade awhile back. Something about the file system? Has anyone encountered this, as I would also like to upgrade from an old nandroid frosty bk

Did you try to restore system data? If so, then that's the problem. Never do that for any reason (when updating the rom).
What I usually do is restore apps like evernote with data basically apps that have info on it. While others ones like Pandora without data in which I could start from Scratch without losing anything. If you want to keep actual settings really I think the only way to do it is if your upgrading the same rom to a different version and rom has to support it.

Hello all, so I am looking into a new ROM installation into my Xperia Play, but I haven't do so since I've got a lot of SMS and Whatsapp conversations that I would like to definetily keep (I also haven't decide what is the best ICS ROM for gaming, there are way too many options, feel free to post here your recommendation if you got one, I am looking for spped while opening up contacts or phone, and gaming support).
Is there any way to trasfer this if I install a new custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!
When switching ROMs, i'm using MyBackupRoot from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot
Can backup sms, call log and Apps(with data)
Use titanium backup or cwm or twrp backup,

CWM/TWRP backup and you are good to go.
Don't look at any apps or anything. Well it least I wouldn't as they may be not confirmed and they can be buggy or they might not backup everything = you can lose some data.
CWM/TWRP backup = bit after bit copy of your internal memory (partitions /system /data, are the most important, you can skip /cache and dalvik-cache but you'll be safer of you wouldn't. Also there is a partition with .asec where your bought apps are being stored if you bought any app then you definitely want to backup "android secure" also.

Hi guys I have a question regarding my recent root of my s4 on kit kat. This is what I did, I rooted with cf-auto-root and everything went smooth supersu is installed and working, then I installed twrp 2700 amd did my 1st nandroid backup and included efs in the options in the backup. So I copied over the whole folder to my external sd to make space for a titanium backup but titanium is telling me that it cannot continue due to not having sufficient space for the whole backup. Then I tried making titanium backup to my ext. Sd but it wont allow it cause the folder is not writable or something like that. So when I try to delete the twrp folder from the device I cannot it doesnt allow me to erase it not with the my files app nor with the es file expl. App.
Soo....
1. I cannot backup with titanium because not enough space. Also I cannot make titanium backup files to my ext sd.
2. I cannot erase twrp backup with regular file manager apps includin my file app.
This is what I want to do:
Since I copied over twrp folder to ext sd, now I want to make a full titanium backup so I can factory reset my phone and then restore data from titanium.
Also I want to know:
1. Can nandroid backups be erased and how?
2. Why cant titanium make backup and save them on the ext sd? Is it possible?
If anything else rises I will post it!
Thanks in advanced guys

Really quick thou... it is an app or a flashable file? Cause its coming out as an app from the play store on google results, the reason I ask is because if its an app, after the fix is done do I still need to keep the app in order for the fix to be permanent or I can I delete it after the fix is successful?

You can use the app or do the edit yourself.. You don't need to keep the app after its done

The files were supposed to be there.. If you have custom recovery reflash your ROM, or if you don't then reflash the firmware with Odin.. Or flash a custom recovery with odin and then the ROM

damn man, im so tired of twrp this is so far the crappiest recovery ive seen cause the date and time are impossible to change to an accurate one cause even when you select the timezone it is not your time. also the date when you do a nandroid backup the year is all wrong.
when i recently had the accident that the phone didnt wanna boot i tried restoring from backup but no success, also when you go to the phone settings and try to factory restore the phone through the regular phone settings, it reboots the phone into the twrp recovery then it hangs and start getting HOT and never does anything. also lts say you had a folder labeled "Old Folder" on your internal sdcard/ device storage, if you do a factory restore from the recovery which is supposed to wipe the user data from the internal partition once the phone reboots and open the file manager of choice you will find that all the previous junk is still there including the "Old Folder".
thats my opinion, why i dont like this twrp recovery and the way its implemented into the SGS4.
if you or anyone can please redirect me to a Good, stable, usable, and fully working custom recovery up to date and for the Tmo US SGS4, then please fell free to give me a hand.
and im appologize to the developer of this recovery but thats my opion and why i dislike it cause i already hada bad experience with it.
Thanks in advanced and sorry again!!!
busybox
i think that my recently rooted s4 doesnt have busybox installed. so is there an specific busybox for this model or anyone would do? any recomendations since i saw a couple on the Play Store?
thanks in advanced
To wipe internal data in twrp you select wipe data or internal SD.. That's how it should be.. and for the dates and names, you can rename it to whatever you want so you can put the date yourself.. I actually like twrp.. For busybox try busybox on rail in the playstore
