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.
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.

How do I backup my paid apps downloaded from Google Play and then restore them when I do factory data reset?
And my phone is not rooted.

Do you want to restore data too or just the apps

All your apps should be saved on your google account......
Usually Google play already save all your downloaded apps (paid/free) in your My Apps section (in PlayStore press Menu->My Apps). Another option is to get AppBak from Google play & use it to backup/restore ur apps

just the apps since I've already used kies to backup the data, but maybe you know some program better than kies, if I'm right?

Really? Even those games that have game save?
Well I'm not sure it saves the app data too as AppBak only create a txt file with all the apps you have & their download link (from which it restores them).
If you want the data too then you should try Titanium Backup,I read it saves app data too,but its a lil complicated to use,u might want to check out tutorials for it

The problem is, Titanium backup requires Root
[ANS] Go backup
Whats the best backup app for apps ?
Titanium backup or Apps backup and restore ?
Titanium is a bit slow and does gets stuck at times.

1) In my opinion yes, I change it from Titanium Backup
2) MyBackup Root support Apps + data
And about Super Backup - SMS and Logs are stored in XML file - that you can menage it from PC. Contats are in VCF format and can be simple use in other devices.

I dont backup sms etc so dont need that app.
I earlier used titanium backup but its too slow and at times unresponsive.
Then i tried app backup and restore. Its fast but it doesnot back up ( apps + data )
Now gonna try my backup root.
Btw did u exactly understood what i meant by app + data ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
I think yes - Apps and data don't backup in one file. You can restore only App, only data or App+data
Go backup is the best one. And its free!!
Apps+data, calls, wifi, msgs, call logs, all in one.
If u get the paid version u can have wallpaper, settings and online backup too.
E.g if i restore xda app, it wont ask to login again and go directly to favourites.. i want that kind of app.
Titanium backup can do that but as i already mentioned its a bitslow.
"App backup and restore" only backs up app. I.e like downloading an app...
Does Go backup restores app+data or only app ?

Spoiler.
You try it.
I have tried many(believe me) apps an thats the one I settled on!
Ok thanks !! Gonna try it for sure then

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

I agree. I prefer this over TB when it comes to backups but that's my personal preference.

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.
