Does anyone know if there is a way to backup your default choices? For example on loading a new Rom, even after restoring settings from titanium I still have to choose the default browser etc etc. Could there be a build.prop maybe? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
edit: Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I want to backup the default selection. Such as if I had 3 different browsers installed and I have a default browser. Is there a way to backup just that info?

You can go to the google play store, there they have many free apps which can backup very
detailed information about your personal things like mms, contacts, email, passwords, bank
accounts, internet favorites, typed urls and other things which may be helpful to you.
The better launchers usually have backup/restore options making it easy to restore their settings.
Many of the better apps and even some games have backup/restore settings too.
If you really want a 100% complete backup so when you flash a new rom and decide that you
don't like it you can simply make a nandroid backup using cwm or twrp recovery before you
flash the new rom and then restore the nandroid backup anytime you like.
Good luck!

Here is an option you might try. My Backup Root (there are 3 flavors) that say they backup APK+DATA and that should give you back your default choices etc.
here's their listing info:
- 0-Click Batch backup of applications APK+Data and Market links. Including protected apps.
- 0-Click Batch RESTORE! of applications APK+Data and Market links
- Unlimited amount of backups
- Scheduled backups
- Backup to SD card (Online option for Pro users)
- Backup of Photos
- Data backup supported BETWEEN DIFFERENT ROMS! of Contacts, Call log, Browser Bookmarks, SMS (text messages), MMS, Calendar, System Settings, Home Screens (including shortcut positions), Alarms, Dictionary, Music Playlists, APNs, Applications with data/settings/market link, Photos, Music, Videos and more...
YMMV, but the app works for me very well.
Aloha and Good Luck!

So I recently installed a new ROM and used mybackup root instead of titanium as the automated re installations of my apps was very tempting. However, upon trying to restore, it restored about 5 of my total apps. It lists all my apps in the program and just says: Nothing Restored. Is there a way to fix it? Or I was thinking if I installed Titanium could that somehow find all the backed up apps and reinstall them?
You can go to "SD CARD\rerware\MyBackup\" and there you should see the .apk's for all the apps you backed up. I haven't tried myself, but i'm pretty sure you could just install them. Might take a bit longer, but I'm not sure about the cross-compatibility between the 2 programs.
What about contacts? How do you back up those?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Those should be syncing automatically with your google account. Go into your gmail account and click on contacts on the side.
Will this work even if the contact says phone only?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No, those you must manually backup, or you could add them to your Google contact list and then they will be backed up automatically upon sync.
Ok, thanks

SMS Backup and Restore, SMS Backup +, or SMS Backup? I'm inclined to go with SMS Backup + since it looks like it backs up MMS as well... Anyone with experience with any of these have an opinion?
I want to backup texts so I can delete them and free up Dialer Storage space, which is currently a monstrous 25 mb.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well, SMS Backup + is the updated and maintained version of SMS Backup, so I think it's only really between SMS BU+ and SMS BU&R. That said, I use BU+ and find it does the job really well.
I use SMS backup + and it works great. I set it to auto backup and have had zero issues. I prefer to restore on WiFi though, as the process is slow. At this time none of the backups restore MMS though. You can do this with Titanium Backup though ( save and restore SMS/MMS).

Cool, thanks for the input y'all. I got SMS Backup + and it does exactly what I wanted. 20 more megs free now woohoo!

I want to change roms, but keep my messages

Search the market
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
Use, any program like titanium backup, recommended, or my backup to back up any data.
I highly recomend using Go Sms pro, it can be moved to sd card and also makes good backups on sd card.

I have been able backup and restore SMS messages using Titanium Backup and also MyBackup Root. Be careful about restoring any other system data across different ROMs.

I second that. Using Titanium to backup sms isnt recommended, as different roms use different messaging apps, and you can run into problems.
I use backup to gmail from the market. It does SMS mms and call log, it backs up automatically and you can delete messages and calls through gmail

Thanks...seems to work easily!!
I second MyBackup Root. I use Titanium Backup to backup all my app data and if I need to backup my text messages and call logs then I use MyBackup root, it's free and does a better job than Titanium does.
As someone who keeps flashing different roms, titanium backup is a life saver. One thing I can't get it to do is restore all my texts each flash. Anyone have any suggestions for an app that can do this?

Titanium Backup backs up and restores my text messages successfully with each rom flash I do.
I use sms backup +
It backs up sms/mms/call logs to your gmail account so its good in that I can limit the number of aged texts sitting on my phone knowing everything is backed up and also I can use gmail search to find any aged text I want quickly.
The auto backup feature is also handy once its set you can forget about it.
Restoring is also quick and easy.

I just bumped up to Omni metal 4.4.2 from Eclipse 4.1.2 and for some reason I can't get titanium to restore my calendar. I go into the backup/restore tab, find calendar, click and hit restore. I've tried restoring data+app and data on its own. It says restore completed but my events are not showing up in calendar app.
Anyone know why this is happening? Any other good way to back up calendar?
