That's the question, are there any incompatibilities or possible issues if I restore user app + data backup from android stock in miui and viceversa?
Thanks
Until now I've restored many apps without problem. If problems, just clear data files.

this is why we have Titanium Backup...
1. use it to backup all user apps + data
2. nandroid backup
3. full wipe, flash new rom
4. install TB if the ROM doesn't come with it, then restore all user apps + data
don't backup and/or restore system data betwen ROMs, as they're often incompatible and will screw things up
No, You need to delete them, but the poster above me has the solution

Back your app data only (you can sync contacts and calendar from Gmail) and restore after you have installed all your apps. TB is not compatible with all ROMa, you can have problems. Use NANDROID backups to investigate which way works best.

good point, though have not known of TB incompatibilty between roms.
@honglajiao you might as well still backup all user apps and data, because TB can still restore the data separately.
in addition to using google to backup/sync contacts, SMS backup+restore (free in market) is good for texts.
and once again, don't backup/restore system data!

+1 for SMS backup and restore. Simple, but excellent.

There is a way to try and that is to delete dalvik-cache between flashing roms. But because of the huge difference in design of roms nowadays, it is difficult to implement. Supernova does not require a wipe before flashing because my script migrates even Froyo to Gingerbread without issues..
You can use the ic scirpt to install your apps at boot and tb to restore data.
I mean will it cause problems with the new rom if I restore apps + data using titanium backup from a different rom
I always restore *user* apps/data with tb after flashing a new ROM. If an app acts up, I wipe its data. If it still acts up, I delete it. But usually everything works OK. I don't restore *system* apps/data because it causes too many problems.

Personal experience I have never had any problems restoring just user apps from one ROM to another or even from one phone to another. Many people seem to have some thing against Titanium Backup but I strongly suspect they are holding it wrong.
I know it's not recommended to restore system data when flashing to a different rom, but what if I'm just upgrading to a newer version of the same rom (newest nightly build)?

It would depend on what's been changed...
Take a backup and try it. Be sure to restore data, not system apps.
I'm also using TB a lot and trying here and there new ROMs. As long as you restore "Data only" you shouldn't have any problems. At least I didn't until now. Restoring the APP that way - I wouldn't recommend. I got issues very often like unmotivated reboots or APP just stops working after a while and so on. I would recommend do use APP Backup & Restore in combination with TB. After installing a new version of a ROM (mostly I do full-wipe) you can select the Apps you want to restore and they are running the installation process ! (so not just a recover). When I'm done with that I use TB to restore Data only. Didn't have any issues until now with that way. Hope that helps.
Hey guys.
Im thinking of switching over to Viper from ARHD. But i have a general question. What is the most effective way of switching to a new ROM without losing ANY data? I know i can use Titanium Backup to back up and restore apps (which is what I do now) , but is there a better way which keeps ALL my data? I read about advanced restoring data from a Nandroid backup, would that cause any problems ?
Thanks

Well all your data stays intact such as songs,pictures, videos etc. It's just app data you will loose so best way like you said is Titanium Backup. Most things are in the cloud now anyway
Of course the SD card remains untouched, I'm talking about app data and home screens and folders and etc.

Well if you got a launcher such as Nova you can make a backup of your configuration and for app data titanium is the best
You can back up your entire phone via a Nandroid backup done from recovery. Is that what you mean?
You can back up using recovery which is a nandroid back up and restore your data using nandroid manager in the playstore.

If you're going to an aosp ROM from an aosp ROM, then make a backup of launcher3 in titanium backup and restore it after you've restored your apps.
Hi everyone,
I'm going to flash oxygen os since most of the problems have been solved.
Does anyone know a way to backup apps and data, i tried titanium backup, but it seems that it can only backup but fails to restore them. Thanks in advance
Titanium backup worked fine for me. But other app I know is Helium Backup. But it is a super old app not sure if it's working perfectly. Worked for some of my apps.

Swift Backup
OnePlus Clone Phone app if you have a spare OnePlus/Oppo phone.
It's not a backup/restore app, but it can copy apps and their data - something which is not possible without root any more.
I would use apps' built-in feature to backup, if available, before relying on Titanium/ Swift, etc. What use is a backup that cannot be restored?
In my case, there aren't too many apps that need an offline backup, so it works for me. If you are flashing a new ROM, it is better to setup everything fresh than restoring from 3rd party backups.
