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
wanting to install a new rom but not sure what to back up. do i use titanium backup for apps n data and rom manager to back up my rom? or a nandroid backup. will that back up everythung messages, pictures ect. also if i dont like the rom i install can i use rom manager to restore my stock rom? or do i use the nandroid restore and will my homescreen be exactly the same?
if any1 could shed some light into a good debloated sence rom it would be shound other than hensmod5
thanks
apps and data -> titanium backup
sms -> sms backup and restore
contacts -> back them up to google if you haven't already
use the same apps/google sync to restore everything after installing your new rom.
pictures are stored on your sd card, and aren't touched by ROM.
always nandroid backup before making big changes like a new ROM, either from rom manager or directly in recovery. if you want to go back just wipe everything and nandroid restore from recovery, everything will be EXACTLY the same state you left it: apps, texts, homescreens...
you can even take your nandroid backups from your sd card in clockworkmod/backup and put them on PC for safekeeping, just in case.
Yes exactly what you said provided your rooted.
Titanium backup - apps
Rom manager (clockwork recovery) - complete system backup that you can restore should anything go wrong or you wanna go back to how things are now.
Also you could sync your Calender and contacts with your Google account, goto settings then accounts and sync and make sure its selected under your Google account.
Your pictures and vids are on your SD, so will be unaffected.
Eddiehk6 beat me to it lol
PS - SENSELESS by germzii is a great debloated rom, very fast and loads of space.
U can sms backup pro for sms back up,for pics,music videos u can use box as it provide 50GB of storage.for settings and apps as said by the other members use titanium backup.
nandroid backup because it will backup everything on your phone, but not on the sd card

Well, I suggest to use NanDroid Backup to backup everything to SDCard. Nandroid also backup android settings/ apps, so I suggest do this backup only if you're going use same Android version as you currently on.
Otherwise I sugg you to do only User's Apps/Data/settings backup.
Hi,
Please don't use a nandroid backup from a different device to a new one. That can cause many issues, including destroying your new phone if you restore system or EFS by accident.
Try titanium backup maybe for User apps only... no system apps. Or again, might be serious issues.
If you saved contacts to your Google account, they will be on your new device the minute you log into your Google account during setup of the new phone.
If any other apps don't restore data properly, that's just something you'll have to live with. ?
I want to factory reset my LG G3 (D855, android 4.4.2). I have used Settings -> Backup & reset -> LG Backup service to back-up just about everything onto SD card. At the end of the process, messages failed to be backed-up while the rest Contacts, Calendar etc. are OK). Am not sure whether this refers to SMS messages (of note - I have no MMS in my collection of SMS, i.e. only text SMS), which I do want to back-up and restore afterwards (after the factory reset). I am hoping to avoid having to use an app to achieve this e.g. SMS Backup & Restore. Would anyone be able to confirm whether the LG Backup service include backing up the SMS? Thank you in advance.
In my case it backups the sms, yes.
Old phones input mic is broken, getting a new one. Both are 16gb ones, backed up everything with Titanium and created a nandroid backup, then copied everything from the storage to a USB stick.
I know it's not as simple as installing TWRP on the new phone and restoring it because the serial is different, but is there any way to modify the old backup so it can restore on the new phone? For example if I create a nandroid backup on the new phone and copy certain files/dirs from the old phones backup to the new one, will the restore work? Or am I just gonna have to unlock / root / install new factory images / rom / gapps / kernel blabla from scratch and then restore with titanium backup and copy the storage folder over?
Thanks in advance.
