So I did a full nandroid backup with TWRP
Then I flashed CloudyG3 V2.0 ROM
It started syncing all my google data(so all the apps that I had downloaded) but what it didnt do was sync the App data & settings
Now I want to know how I can restore the app data/settings from the nandroid backup that I made?
In the TWRP Manager menu it only allows me to select the full backup folder, which would entirely restore my phone to the previous rom but I don't want to do that lol
Thanks in advance!
You should have used titanium backup or similar to backup the apps dont believe there is a way to restore app data from nandroid. You could backup your current rom restore old rom then backup using tb and then restore the other rom and then restore settings with tb

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade to gingervillan from the defrost 6.1 rom without losing my data and settings? Do I do a nandroid or titanium backup? I'm kinda new to the rooting scene.

You will lose your settings as you are flashing a new Rom.
1. To keep apps: titanium backup (backup apps + data)
2. If you want to keep other data such as messages etc: my backup pro (this can backup your apps too but rather use titanium for apps)

backup files are on ur microsd , nand backup should be in clockworkmod folder (if u're using clockworkmod recovery) , as for apps backed up by titanium they are in the titanium folder
when u do a wipe and flash a new ROM,just install titanium again and restore the apps u want.

Actually settings can be saved, too (Homescreen, Icons, widgets, Messages, WiFi etc. ) with Titanium backup.
you should also ofcourse do a NANDbackup if you ever want to go back to your old rom. when you restore a NANDbackup everything will look the same as before the rom change.
Whenever I install a new rom, can restoring the saved data from apps bring along bugs and problems from the previous rom? The TB site says that is not the case, but would like to hear the opinion of other people. I almost always restore the data, is it better to restore just the apps once in awhile?

It depends on the rom. Usually it says on the rom info if it is ok to restore. If it dosent say then usually its ok to restore data. Also if your just upgrading the rom to a newer version restoring data usually doesnt wreck the rom. But you should do a full wipe before flashing a new rom

I have never seen a rom say anything about titanium backup. I see them talk about maybe a nand data restore, but I'm pretty sure that is different than a titanium backup app+data restore. A nand data backup/restore just backs up and restores the entire data partition. A tb backup only backs up the data that is attached to each installed app.
Just to make sure I'm clear to everyone I'm talking only about APP data. I know you can backup and restore system data with tb but I'm not interested in messing with that. It takes 5 min to configure system settings.

Restoring App data can cause issues, and if you want to be safe just do a nandroid backup before restoring all of the apps+data just to be sure. You should have no problems though.
The big thing to avoid is restoring system data. This restores things like settings etc. and is very dangerous unless you're re-flashing the same exact type of ROM as your Titanium Backup (i.e. fresh install of CM7 after being on CM7 prior).
Titanium Backup never wreked my instalation of new roms.
Hi guys, I will update my rom CM10 (since goomanager says it has an update) and this is my first time using titanium backup. I back up an app and where will that backup be saved? I need to wipe my system and that includes wiping titanium backup. So lets say i already flashed the latest update rom for my phone, then installed titanium backup. Will my backup files still be there?

Yes,they still be there.
They are stored on your internal sd card.

I heard that titanium backup should not be used when changing to a new ROM.
Is it true? If so, why?
Another question, if I don't use titanium backup to backup everything but just a few user data(like the save of games), and I don't backup the app, just simply the user data, is it okay then?
It doesn't matter if you are changing roms or whatever it just backs up apk files and data folder so it will work on every rom without any problems.
It's better to take the 'app' from playstore after flashing a new Rom..sometimes titanium can get stuck at 'Restoring app data'..happened with me with twice..
Where did you read it shouldnt be used?
I regularly backup all user and system data.
When you go to a new ROM though, its quite fine to restore ALL user apps+data
But when it comes to system apps, I always go through them individually and restore what necessary - some system apps/data may conflict with the new ROM system apps/data.
This is my experience...could be bull**** lol
Alright, thx all of you

The best way is restore apps without data, reboot then restore data. I've been doing it that way since my x10 running donut...
If changing to another rom only restore user data/apps. Don't restore system apps data as it may cause probs.
I use titanium backup on my arc and n7 tablet have the same apps etc and always send titanium data between the 2 devices with out any issues.

So yesterday I used an App called System Control Pro to backup all my Apps+Data before I flashed SinlessRom coming from stock.
Flashed the ROM, reinstalled System Control Pro and restored the Apps+Data, but almost all the apps when opening them show the unfortunately the app is not responding force close message. The backup did a terrible job, although I did do a TWRP backup (Nandroid?) before flashing the rom.
Anyway what is the cleanest most stable solution to backing up the Apps+Data? After flashing ROM's I want my Apps+Data to be restored and working cleanly.
Should I be using something like Titanium Backup instead, or is there some other good apps out there?
Thanks
TB has always been very solid for me. I use it all of the time, and very very rarely has it ever failed me...but usually it was my error or oversight.
TB is nice, but it gets annoying having to restore each app separately. I tried TWRP nandoid, and when I did a factory reset, it messed up because of permission issues.
I used CWM recovery on my Nook Tablet, and it always worked for nandroid backups. Make an app+data backup, move the folder over to your computer, flash your rom, restore all your apps+data in CWM.

I would just buy the pro version of tb. It makes everything so much easier.
