I'm trying to get my head around titanium backup and the correct way to restore data when switching ROMs. Some people say you have to restore your device ID. I've always had issues with notifications after restoring app data. I'm interested what is the correct procedure and What I'm doing wrong?

For me... I only backup user apps I dont backup system data. When restoring I don't restore WhatsApp and twitter( I noticed delayed notification if I restore with titanium ) So u download WhatsApp and twitter from play store and do ur normal setup. That's what works for me with delayed notification
Also never did any device id restore

That's what I've been told however done people say it works fine. Someone with a 6t said they were able to keep everything across different devices

i usually just restore everything. except all apps that needs GCM or CCM for notifications. restoring apps like whats app breaks notifications so those apps just install from playstore.

whats app well. dont delete whats app folder when you reinstall app it can restore settings and messages.
on telegram no need.
On MIUI I sometimes had that problem with WhatsApp and delayed notifications but with AOSP never happend. You could also try Migrate.

hi guys newbie here,
I know this should probably be posted in the rom thread but due to lack of posts I cant ask the question there, I have installed ARHD 10.2 and now updated to 10.3 and on both versions of the rom get the notice ( on facebook / friendcaster ) - unable to enable notifications as your phone does not support push messages, everything else seems to be fine, just wondered if anyone has come across this or if there is something I have done wrong.
Again sorry if this is posted in the wrong place

google account seems installed and set up ( play is working fine and logged in with my google account on phone set up) anything else I should check? sorry like i said kinda new to this
I restored all apps and data with titanium
thanks for your response
I've seen this pop up a couple of times on the forum, but don't recall of there was a fix.
I would take a backup (if you have titanium, I'm assuming you're rooted, so both nandroid and titanium backup) and then factory reset, put your Google account back and try the apps again.
Once you've confirmed it works, use titanium to restore user apps and data, NOT system apps or data.
Hey,
maybe you should reflash 10.3.. and before that wipe data and wipe cache.. worked for me.
My push notifications work.

Hey guys, sorry to post here but long time reader, first time posting. I have searched and found a few topics but nothing that helps. I am on liquid 2.9 and have backed all apps/data. I recently flashed crDroid AOSP [Build3]. Titanium wont restore anything from apps to call log. Its a clean flash and have the most up to date titanium. Also, have the newest 4.3 gapps. Tried 3 clean flashes. Any suggestions?
Are you having the issue where it just hangs there when restoring? If so, go to menu>preferences>backup folder location>(select detect)>(select whole Device)>pick the one that is located in /storage/emulated/legacy/0/TitaniumBackup. Just make sure its the one in the legacy folder.
I do have that with the apps. Thanks. I will try that. With call log and messages it will say the restore has been completed successfully and it will take less than a second or two but nothing will show in the log or messages. Any suggestions on that issue. I know i can just start over but like to carry those over with me.

Do you have a backup of your last ROM? If so, use the app "Nandroid Manager" in the Play Store. You can restore texts and call logs from your backup. I've never used Titanium Backup to restore texts and call logs so I dont know about that issue.
Thanks. I will try that. I have always used that and it usually works great but 4.3 is a different animal. I am sure Titanium is working on it but wanted to see if I was missing something. Thanks for the help.
Okay, so i was stupid enough not to notice that this is a MOD for S4-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303360
Anyways, i installed the mod and now my notification bar is gone. Further, I keep getting "unfortunately #ffd7d7d7 has stopped working" every other minute. Also, it is taking very long to boot from power off.
Any solutions that don't involve in me losing my data?
I've tried installing the remove notification bar file from that post, but that didn't help
Thanks

Okay, I fixed it by installing the newest android update, however, now my phone has become very slow. Any suggestions?
Did you do a factory reset after installation?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No, i just installed the new firmware. I dont really want to lose all my data.
Is there a way to back it up that can allow me to restore it easily? Like an app or something which will restore everything- like whatsapp messages etc..

I assume that your phone is rooted.
Search for titanium backup in play store and backup all your apps. I'm not entirely sure if it will backup your messages and contacts, so I suggest that you use an app called super backup as well.
Try to reinstall your firmware and see if your phone is faster. And make sure you only backups application and not system settings, since those settings might make your phone slow again. I will also suggest that you transfer the backup folder to your computer, just to be on the safe side. Re-download the apps and restore your files after the installation
I'm not sure If this post covered all your questions, so feel free to ask me any questions that you might have
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.

Thanks jay, would this work restoring to a different rom base? you know how the devs preach dont restore system data..., trying to just get the few important things to me restored (and not the rest of the system data that might hurt the rom)

Yeah I've used it on lots of roms on note 3 always worked and twice on m8
found this while searching google just wanted to say thanks for posting that app
I get frustrated with Google backup and restore due to the fact that sometimes it does not restore everything during initial setup. Add to that that you can't do a manual restore such as SMS or Call Logs..... Trying to get in the habit of using SwiftBackup instead!
Yes, feel your pain! I using SMS Backup and Restore app for my SMS & Call logs...
Weird... always works fine for me. What gapps are you using?

Stock Gapps in stock firmware. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does it means factory reset and setup phone again which is lost time and effort.

You are lucky cause it does not even backup anything for me neither on stock or custom at all. Happens in both of my different phones. Been like this for couple of months. Swift backup is gucci

Same here. All google backup does for me is reinstall all my apps. I use sms backup and restore for text messages and call logs. I miss the days when I could restore everything with titanium backup, so I didn't have to log back into 37,000 different apps every time I flash a rom.

Can swift actually restore app data like titanium used to? Is swift basically the new titanium backup? I've been on hiatus for the last few years. Last time I was active here super partitions and a/b slots weren't a thing and titanium still worked.

I'd say that, yes, Swift Backup is the new Titanium Backup. I've had absolutely no problem backing up and restoring all of my apps, as well as SMS messages, call logs, and wi-fi networks, on the latest and greatest Android releases. Titanium's biggest issue vis-a-vis app backups is that it doesn't support the new "split APK" format; every time it tries to restore one, it hangs. I'm pretty sure that some of its esoteric features still work, but given that it hasn't been updated since November 2019, and that its major use (app backup/restore) is crippled, I'd classify it as dead in the water.
