Is this a possibility? When I say complete backup, I mean every single one of my games and data, including save files so it's exactly like my Z1C. I've tried Titanium Backup in the past and it never fully backs up a lot of apps, requiring me to re-download the larger files, such as GTA: SA, Dead Space, etc.

I am having some trouble with Titanium Backup. I love switching Roms to try out all the new looks but there are a few apps, Angry Birds specifically, that I would like to save the data for. It gets real tiring trying to complete all the levels again. I back up the program and when I go to verify it, I get an error. I used to use Evonosensne but now I upgraded to Kings Unleashed Blakk R3. Its a great rom but I would like to have my angry birds progress back. When I try to restore it on the new rom it just reboots the Rom during the process.
I have tried using multiple versions of busybox, including the one from the app and the latest one from the busybox installer. Hopefully it is some user mistake that I am doing but could use some help.
When using titanium, backup all user apps and data, then when you restore, only restore the app+data, not system settings; that could be your problem.
teh roxxorz, how is your method different than backing up the apps individually or manually? I thought either method still backed up the same content - the app & its respective data.
It isn't exactly different, because you go into the app, press menu, batch, then select backup apps+data. It seems something that you're doing when restoring isn't letting it do it correctly, cuz I use the same method and have no problems.
Could it be that in addition to the content stored in the /data area, there is additional content stored on the sd? I'm not familiar with the app the OP is having issues with, but have seen this behavior with beautiful widgets. Specifically, when using a custom skin, if the SD card is not available, or the files are missing from the SD, my custom skin is no longer available.
I have several apps and data on my Desire... Currently I am running a MIUI-rom. I already made a backup of the rom... If I decide to flash a new rom, does that mean I will lose all my data, like saves from games and stuff like that?
hi,
so if you dont backup them you will lose them probably
TitatniumBackup can save your user apps + data, so this will not be lost
but system data(wifi spots, contacts, bookmarks, ...) could also be backuped but with care!
if you change the android version most of the system apps change and also if you change rom type it will probably not work.
i can tell you how i do save all my data.
1. i do a complete nandroidbackup (if you want 2 go back from where you came)
2. a Titanium´Backup (sometimes system data could also be restored)
3. i use MyPhoneExplorer to backup my Contacts
4. MyBackup Root, to save my Sms/mms and other stuff (exept from Contact wich are put in the Google Account i like the app
Sounds a little bit much, but most of the apps have advantages at some point but also flaws on a other point!
ps.: yep i know most of them could be stored in the cloud but i like it lokal
I use the Google backup feature when registering my account on first boot.
Last time, all my user apps and data restored, plus wifi profiles, system settings etc (even my wallpaper) were reapplied. I did nandroid and TiBu also but didn't use them at all!
To use this you could nandroid backup, wipe everything, restore and check the options re backup when registering. Then wipe everything again, flash rom of choice, and wait. You may need a reboot for all the changes to take effect!
that kind of datas are stored in SDCard, so if you don't format it, you should not have problems, but always do a backup before flashing
Hi.
As you know the GNexus not support USB mass storage for the PC and using other programs like WebSharing and derivatives, however if the content is on a partition, to make us root and install some roms, some of them make wipe of all system data, cache etc and others are recommended to do so.
Similarly, any nandroid backup from the recovery that we also remain in the same partition as the system, and if we try to do a rom wipe, erase it as photos, pdfs, backup programs and data made with titaniun.
Having another partition or a separate memory unit at least in my other phones gave me the chance to test any rom without danger, and convinced that if the left and restoring applications from titanium, if he had any mess, and follow nandroid restored.
You can also pass the backup to the PC, but of course if you have a few photos, copies of programs and a minimum backup nandroid are jig and a half or two, imagine that I also have 4 gigs of music, two or three games that have and each 500 megabytes of data (as well as saved games), you can turn on the pc backup about 8 GB
That is the most important reason for me to pull back to buy the Nexus, in that aspect as I see now that the iphone, when you install new ios version deletes the entire system and restore it from itunes to your backup program. In my view can be a long delay in testing the roms, when in 10 min could install Rom and change it if you did not like, add all of this theorizing, that even I have no nexus Galaxy and I have not seen any commentary (then there is much troll loose) of chefs who are handling the issue, we can see if any clarification.
thanks
How does one do a full backup of their phone? I see no option in twrp for backing up the internal sd card, and i see support for that was removed from cwm back in version 4 ( unless I'm reading this wrong )...
I know I can just copy it off to my pc or what ever, but that's not really a clean solution for doing backup / restores across multiple roms as it will just involve another process and make it so i have got to be at home to swap..
Any solutions?
Depends if your phone is rooted or not, I believe a rooted phone can do more of a "full" backup but what I usually do is backup all my photos and songs with USB to the computer. For SMS apps and app data and system settings and data I personally like two apps - My backup pro and Titanium Backup PRO which requires root. Just visit the apps in the play store to compare. I recommend doing pictures and music manually cause I've had several issues with the backup apps doing my photos as when I restore them they are corrupt
It always gets stuck when trying to restore my apps. I have to go into the market, install the apps and then restore the data. Otherwise it just keeps saying trying to restore for hours on a single app. Tried in both batch and by selecting single apps. Never had a problem before this phone.
Second issue. I have a game, Bard's Tale that is around 4GB's large. I like to keep several backups but I don't want that app backup every time because it's size. I actually don't wish to backup the app at all, just the data. Is this possible because it is really taking away my space. 4GB's to play the game and 4GB's for every backup. I have other games that around 1 to 2 GB's in length with the same problem.

I tried to clear data and uninstall and rebooting. But I'm still getting stuck in a neverending loop with some of the same apps during restore. My first time installing my apps on my GN2 I didn't even try to restore them via TB. Instead I used the market and just added the data to the ones I needed the data for so everything would work. However, now I'm noticing that the restore isn't working.
As for the second part dealing app and app data. I think it is stupid they don't give us any control over what gets backup. This makes me wish to have a second script that goes back behind TB and delete all the apps that I don't wish to keep in the backup.
