noob question about backup/restore - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

With TWRP, can I back up the apps, make a full wipe, and restore all of them without having problems with clean instalation? Or is better titanium backup? Or is better download all apps again of Internet?

TWRP will back up the APKs, but can't back up some of the app data saved to the /data/media folder. If you restore a nandroid after wiping the /data partition, you'll find that some of your apps will have been effectively reset. It's better to use TiBU to save it.

In that case titanium backup would be a good option

Don't go on that route. You may get banned from XDA.

TiBu really is worth its price, especially if you use it a lot. And somehow I have a feeling that most people on XDA forums do need an app like this quite often.

Quicker way to backup

I'm currently using mybackup pro to do backups and restores between rom installs. It retains market links, application databases, and other system settings. My only problem is that it is SO SLOW to backup and restore. It takes probably over and hour to backup my applications and another hour to restore them. I don't even have that many. Is there any quicker way of doing this? I'd like to be able to install a new rom sometime before the singularity.

Go to the Market and use Titanium backup. It backs up your apps over to your SD card along with app data. You can batch the backups and restores as well as schedule your backups. You can also use AppBrain. It updates which apps you download from the Market and then does a back up. But I think App brain only works with market apps. I'm not 100% on Appbrain.

How long does it take for titanium backup to do its thing?

The back up takes me a few minutes. 10 if I have a ton of apps. The restore is pretty annoying since you have to click install for EVERY APP YOU HAVE.

I realized this after running a backup and installing a new rom. Looks like you have to buy the pro version. I did and it restores automatically.

[Q] Will flashing a new ROM wipe my external micro sd card?

Hey guys, I was thinking about flashing a new ROM via CWM and I've been looking at alot of videos and tutorials online, and they all say, that when you install the new ROM you must "factory data reset" your phone from CWM. So my question is, what will that erase? Will it erase anything on my SD Card? And what programs should I use to backup my stuff, in case it does get deleted?

when you do a factory reset it will wipe internal storage not external(sd card). if you want to backup your apps etc. use either titanium backup or rom toolbox to do so.

once you back up your stuff. install titanium back or rom toolbox (whichever you used) from play store and select the restore option.
Edit- read this link for more detailed instructions..google is your best friend if you are not sure about something

one last advice before you flash read ALL the instruction 2-3 times and ONLY flash when you understand them completely. follow that advice and hopefully you will never brick or harm your phone. good luck

Titanium backup only does your apps and app data......I recommend Easy Backup cuz that will get your SMS, MMS, Contacts, Calender, call log and even your apps

For photos, i recommend using G-Photos Sync feature. for apps, titanium backup, for contacts (the best you can do is export them to a vcf file transfer it to your pc then import from vcf file)
(For music i contain all the sound files on the ext-sd since factory reset doesn't touch ext-sd).
But if you have lost any of your important files, your best chance of getting them back is using hiren's boot on your pc with the undeleter tools.

Backing up accounts

Is there a way to backup your accounts, so when you wipe the phone, it's easy to reconfigure?

I have titanium. I could create new zip file, but I'm just looking for bare phone setup. Besides, no recovery yet for Sprint variant.

I don't know of any way to back up accounts.
If you have a recovery installed and are rooted you can back up the entire phone but I don't know if just restoring accounts is possible using anything.
I feel your pain. For my company I have many email accounts. It is a pain to add them when I go to a new phone or something.

Best backup app

I am looking to root but have just set it all up. Whats the best app to back everything up so once roted and i have lost everyting it starts again the same way i left it
Best backup app with root access is still Titanium Backup imo. Helium sucks and isn`t worth your money to be honest.
Using Titanium Backup for years now... It's all you need!
Cheers, Axel
I need it before root so that when it is rooted i can just put all apps etc back on

Sorry, misunderstood your intention I would suggest a nandroid backup with TWRP ! This way you can recall the phone exactly as it was when performing the backup...

Root first then setup. Google will restore all apps but without media,calls,emails or text. For all this you need some cloud backup because root require bootloader to be opened so device will be wiped.

Question How to Backup with TWRP on MIUI ?

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
