Hey guys, is there a way to tell Smart Switch when doing a restore what specific apps you want to restore rather than all the ones you backed up? Thanks.

I'm not at home right now but I know when I use the smart switch from the play store I'm able to select the stuff I want backed up before it starts the backup I would suggest that you just play with the app an look around at how it works!

It seems to just restore everything. I can't pick and choose what apps from a backup I want to restore.
yes. you can select it from the beginning.

Ok I have a lot of backups stored in TI, but I am wanting to re flash my ROM and wipe data ect..
My question is can I somehow make a backup of just the apps that are installed on my phone right now, so when I start to put the apps back I can flash all the apps I have now instead of going and unchecking all the apps I don't want installed right now?
I hope that makes sence, I'm not good at expressing what's in my brain onto txt...
Thx for help.

There is a question..
And the answer is yes, select batch back up and only select the files you want to install, instead of just selecting all.

I know how to do that. But I have a lot of apps that are backed up but not installed so it would take a while.
I just want to know if there is a quicker way.
I guess I could ask like this;
Is there a way to backup all current installed apps, then flash a new ROM or wipe data, and then re-install just the apps that u just then backed up? Completly ignoring all other backups of apps that are stored there.

Yes, you can backup the current apps installed. There's an APP in the market called App Backup & Restore. This backs up all apps in your phone (giving you the option to check/uncheck which ones you dont want) and allows you to restore those apps with ease.
Check it out...I hope this is what you're looking for!
You could also back them up with a nandroid and do an advanced restore data and get all your current apps back.

You and I seem to think alike kenny, but you're always a bit ahead of me! I was thinking this same thing, or the other option, still in TB, would be to batch restore and then click the box "deselect all" so then you only have to go through and check the ones you want instead of unchecking the ones you don't. I think this was mentioned before as well.
I was wondering if you could provide a bit more info on the advanced restore data. I know it's an option available in CWM, but I'm wondering if there are situations where it wouldn't work as well as using some backup app. I think I read that if you were switching versions, like Froyo to Gingerbread, it probably wouldn't work well. But I've got the nandroid backup from EI22, just after I rooted and applied the GPS fix and silent camera mod, and I think the custom ROMs I've seen lately are all based on that, so would it work OK? The advanced restore of data seems like it would be a bit easier (or at least simpler) than using an app, but I don't know too much about how it works. Any clarifications about this would be appreciated. Thanks.

It should work fine. It only restores 3rd party apps and data and the data folder of your phone. The other stuff should be in your phones system folder.
Well personally I would just do a clockwork backup like the previous guys said, and then advanced restore my data onto the new rom. I've been doing this with Rom installs for 2 years and it's always worked pretty well.
Anyways, if you really wanted to use TB that bad to do it, I would go into your SD card folder, copy the TB folder onto the computer (All your old backups you don't want to get rid of would be in here) Delete the TB Folder on your SD card, then re-run TB again. Do a batch backup of all your apps (that you have currently installed). If you ever want any of the old backups of apps you don't currently use, they'll always be on the computer.
Make a new label & add all the apps you have installed right now & and that you want to restore on your new rom. Then when your new rom setup is ready to restore apps just filter that label you made & bach restore

Heh, exactly what I was getting ready to recommend, as this is a very easy way to do exactly what he wants
Thanks for saving me from having to type it out
Hi.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's almost always recommended and required to do a data wipe after a ROM updates. Everybody seems like this process is normal and not a hassle.
I use AOKP (installed M6 today) on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro).
I use Titanium Backup to restore my phone to the state where I left as right before the ROM update flash.
There are, however, some problems I've encountered and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
1. Using "restore app + data" only restores the app and the data cannot be recovered. I need to manually select "restore app data only" and it for the most of the time works fine. Am I doing something wrong?
2. I have about 80 apps and it asks me to confirm every time it tries to restore apps. I need to click "Install" and "Done" to restore one app. This process takes an hour. Are there any way to disable this confirmation prompt?
3. During the restore process, on the confirmation prompt for installing an app, if I press "cancel" instead of "install" Titanium Backup does not know what to do and does not move onto the next app to restore. The restore process basically gets stuck there. Does anybody know the cause of this?
Is restoring process supposed to be this much of a hassle? How do you guys do yours? Please let me know!
Thank you in advance!

*sigh*
It takes forever but that's how I do it. Of course I don't have 80 apps. But there should be an option to restore all missing apps and data.
But besides that, you have to click install and done for every app.

That is... very unfortunate.
That's the option I use. It restores apps, but for some reason it NEVER restores data.
This is why I have to manually restore app data. It's pain in the ass.... Does it do to yours?

On mine it restores both. Then it says I should reboot and I do, and all my messages and stuff is back to before.
I kinda stopped using titanium ever since I sold my epic 4g lol. I only used it not to loose my progress on plants vs zombies.

I use nothing at all.
Pretty much Google automatically downloads my apps after every flash.
I start fresh on the data.
But as far as I know titanium is the best.

I use Titanium back up to restore apps and a few system settings. To do as many as you are doing use *batch* mode.
open Titanium>select Backup/restore tab>select the check mark (top right hand corner, between the search icon and the menu button icon. The check button maybe greyed out but is operational)
you can now select "Backup all user apps" by selecting the run button next to it. This will open a list of all user apps, make sure all the apps you want to backup are selected. Obviously deselect the ones you don't want > to run the batch operation select the green check icon in the top right hand corner.
Once backup completes go back and select "Back up all system data" and do the same.
10mins at most.
There is an option to "Backup all user apps + system data" that will make it a bit quicker.
I'm pretty sure you have to use the purchased version of Titanium Backup to do a batch restore without doing them one at a time. When you select restore apps, there's also an check box to restore data too, but I don't know if that's only in the purchased version.

Batch process is supported in the free version. From what I can assume the problem is with Android.
Every time Titanium Backup tries to restore an app by installing it, the phone asks if I want to really install it. I know this feature is part of Android, but having 80 apps this is a very painful process.
I was wondering if I can turn that prompt of at my own risk.

Batch is supported in the free version. But, if you get the paid version, that will negate all of the "install" and "done" prompts. It will install automatically, as soon as you activate the batch operation. As for why it's not able to restore data, I'm not sure.

I update my phone with new ROMs every now and then, I like to have that option of custom ROMs, but I have a question about google play, sometimes it downloads all of my apps if it detects if I have the same ROM as last one and it auto downloads the apps I had before, but this new ROM I have it doesn't seem to this, is there any way I can just press a button and it will download all the apps I have in "My Apps" on google play, I deleted the crap I didn't need but I still have over 50 apps and I don't want to do one by one, please and thanks, sorry for my English is not that good.

Some roms allow you to backup and restore phone from Google Play account when you are going through the setup at the beginning. Best bet however would be to download Titanium Backup and backup all apps. When you flash a new rom you re-download TiBu and you can install all the apps+their data.

I'm afraid if you didn't make a nandroid or backup using TiBu, nothing. Sorry
I use cm10 that has nightly updates that I update through the settings. It doesnt effect my apps or anything. But you need to back up your apps if you change roms with titanium backup before changing roms.

Is the pro version recommended? Should I buy it? What is the difference.
The pro version is absolutely recommended. For one thing, it allows you to "freeze" apps instead of just delete them. This comes in handy when you have to re-install GAPPS because it will remember if you freeze any of the GAPPS programs whenever you re-flash GAPPS.
Also, the Pro version lets you restore all apps with just a couple button clicks. Vs. the free version which makes you click "okay" for every single app you want to restore. Gets real tiring after awhile.
Anyways. When you're installing a ROM, most will give you an option when you sign into GOOGLE for the first time. That option is whether you want Google to back up or restore your phone. If you select "restore" then it will typically re-download all your last apps to your phone.
If you want to get this option again, you might try signing out of Google on your phone and reboot and log back in. Dunno if that will do the trick or not. You may just need to reflash.
Hi,
I'm having some problems with the backup of the data from my HTC one X.
Í have a new Phone, and was hoping that some apps where backed up to the google cloud (mostly game progress).
But this does not seem to be happening.
Cause it is not restoring the progress on the new Phone (HTC One).
Now I was trying to find out if I could see when the app was last backed up, and according to the internet this should be possible through the google Dashboard on internet.
I can't post an image or link to this, because of spam protection I guess.
So I hope you guys know what I mean.
But somehow I can't seem to find this.
Also, how can I make a full backup right now of the Phone with default google backup, not third-party apps.
Thanks in advance!

There is no way to make a full backup without third-party apps. The Google cloud backup service MAY backup app data if the app developer enabled it. To backup all app data you will need to root your device and use an app such as Titainium backup.

Thans for the reply.
According to the developer page, they have enabled it.
If I start the game on the new Phone, it askes me te restore a cloud save. But is is 1 month old.
That's why I would like to see what google exactly backups to the google cloud.
And it should be possible according to many posts on the web. Only I can't seem to find it.
Can someone tell me what i need to be backing up with titanium backup to preserve home screen icon locations, bluetooth device pairings, sound settings and wifi settings? Well i guess i actually need to know what the names are to restore these items, i already have them backed up. When installing new roms these are the items i would like to restore. I was thinking these items should be the same no matter what sense 6 rom correct? I'm hoping i can restore just these setting without having to worry about messing things up by restoring system data to a different rom/base. Or if anyone knows a better way to backup/restore these items i would like to hear about it. Thanks.
