I'm sure there's a way to do it; I, personally, don't know where the settings are stored though

Titanium Backup will do it just fine. I always back up my CM settings.

yes, you can backup apps+data with titanium backup, but how do you backup VPN, Wireless and other CM7-settings? afaik it is not possible to save those settings with titanium backup!?
if anybody could tell me where the settings are stored i could use adb shell or root explorer and simply copy them.

Your wireless network settings should automatically sync with your Google account, but there are options in TB to specifically back them up. I'm not sure about VPNs, but you could poke around for it. I only know that selecting "back up all user apps and system data" and restoring it is essentially a nandroid. Other than re-adding widgets and changing the wallpaper, I can't think of anything that it doesn't save.
ok, but this would be a complete backup. i could do this with rom manager. so my main question is: where are the CM7-settings stored?
Is there any valid reason for backup EFS in galaxy nexus ?
In other samsung devices efs is stored in the / dir but in this device is different.
Its also good to have backups, incase something gets corrupted its nice to have it.

Test but what is the correct way to backup and to restore ?
The image backup would probably serve you best. Rooted, ADB, and busybox installed:
Backup
Code:
adb shell
su
busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/efs of=/data/media/my_efs_backup.img
Restore
Code:
adb shell
su
busybox dd if=/data/media/my_efs_backup.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/efs
I should mention that this puts an image backup at the root of the internal sd. You will want to copy this off and save it somewhere safe, preferrably multiple places.

Is there a way to backup efs without busybox installed?

Use this instead to backup efs and radio:
Code:
adb shell
su
for i in efs radio
do
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/${i} of=/sdcard/${i}.img &
done

Not legal (most likely) since you'd have a duplicate of their IMEI.

The IMEI will be encrypted, you won't be able to restore it yourself. A few nexus s users ended up with the Samsung default IMEI after flashing a dodgy HTC sense port. The only way they could get it fixed was to send it back to Samsung.
It's also illegal in some countries to change your IMEI.

It's possible to restore a corrupted EFS folder (and IMEI) on the I9100 via adb and your existing corrupted folder; unsure of if it applies directly to the GN. I'd imagine that it's possible however, but I don't want to be a guinea pig. A user (Odia IIRC) on the I9100 forums can also fix your borked EFS for a small donation.
Restoration: (I9100) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Odia: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1465627
There's also a tool on the Market...err...Play that can repair the I9100's EFS. As far as I can tell it just does it the the same way as the adb method, but for people who aren't familiar enough with adb.
I9100 App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouR1NJSV9SZXBhaXIiXQ
I'm not suggesting that any of these will fix the poster's IMEI, but just presenting the possibilities so a user/developer who has the skills knowledge can potentially develop a means of restoration.
Didn't mention kTool since it can't repair, but it is able to restore b/u's; here's Hellcat's response to a query if compatibility for the GNex was being explored:

I had to resort to restoring a b/u at least once on my SGS2, thankfully I had a b/u.

I flashed the stock Rom 1000 times with no luck !. The EFS folder won't be affected by flashing roms. It's just like a partition or MBR of the hard disk i guess!
So, From the end, there is noways to fix this issue, right ?

If you backed up its data as well, you should be able to restore both. It works with my games.
thanks

Did you back up App + data, or just the app?
You sure you backed up app+data in older rom?

Hello,
My messages app stopped working, it cannot launch, I got a message error.

I'd say a Factory Reset should fix you up, if you don't get any other tips from anyone on here go with that.
Just back up your data first of course.
Thanks, but I can't backup with LG backup, I got the error too.
What should I backup with titanium backup? Or is there another program to do the backup?

You could definitely try Titanium.
I just manually move all my pictures, music etc over to my SD Card and anything else I don't want to use. But for your apps and data TiBU should work just fine for you.

Hello
im using TWRP 3.6 on Miui eu can i backup everything with twrp ?
because its says not all users decrypted
Hello.
TWRP is not the best option to backup user data now. I advice you to use other methods.
I personally use Swift Backup. It backs up all my apps along with their data. It's a really good one.
But I do hope you find a way to backup ur stuff using twrp. Still, I highly advice you to confirm that it does recover your backup. You don't wanna backup all ur stuff thinking they're recoverable then happens they aren't.
+1 for Swift Backup, great app

Yes. WiFi passwords, logs, app data etc etc. You need to be rooted for app data though. Some apps like banking apps will need to be signed in again, but it copies most app data over. Just run a full backup with all apps, copy to pc, flash rom, copy back and install swift backup again. I just backup the whole swiftbackup folder
