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.

Hey,
I have a question about Titanium Backup. If I understand it properly I have to lose all my apps and data to install or update a new ROM - full wipe - if necessary. Of course I may use Titanium backup but that is quite long process to restore all apps and data again, right? Do I need to tap on restoring every single app to install it etc.? AND may I restore system data as well or it makes no sense when the ROM needs a full wipe?
I really do not understand this properely. I am quite confused.
Thanks.

When I do a full wipe for a new ROM, google/market will reinstall all the apps I had and I just restore the missing apps/games that I had settings or saves for. I'd recommend to do a full backup and try yourself to see what works for you.
do not make a system backup cause it'll give you only loads of fc. Backup only installed apps. You don't have to restore app by app if you have a titanium backup pro or donate than it's doing everything for you.
If you are switching roms, you should only restore apps+data.
There is a batch mode that allows you to restore all of it at one go.
I haven't used system yet but i'm guessing you could restore some of you system setting if you do a factory reset?
You can always use something like appbrain to sync you apps again, then use titanium backup just to restore the data.

I do this after each full wipe and new rom - it's a single click batch operation using the free version of Ti.
I see a lot of folks here who are "flash-crazed," in that they install a lot of new ROMs and whatnot, and do clean wipes in between.
Question for those of you who would fit that group - do you just spend a lot of time re-installing apps? Do you use Titanium Backup and restore all your apps that way? Does the Google autorestore work for you? I like doing a clean install (ie wipe first) when I install a ROM but the work of restoring all my apps and their associated data by hand is a real pain and I'm curious if anyone has any tips to streamline that process.
Thanks,

I use Titanium backup. Works great. If you are running into problems (e.g.FCs) might just want to restore apps with TiBa and not data.
Make sure you are using titanium pro and then use batch restore. All your apps and data will installed in one go.
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.
I'm just wondering, If I backup my tab (data files, apps, etc.) using CWM, then flash CM12, can I advance restore my apps and data files into it without problems? Im afraid I don't want to download again all of my apps after installing CM12..

Most likely not. Pretty much any other base (you didn't say what you were coming from. CM11?) going to CM12, migrating user data like that (same as a "dirty flash") will cause major issues (not booting into OS is the likely result).
Just use Titanium Backup to migrate your apps and app data. That worked fine for me going to CM12.

I forgot, I came from stock. By the way, I decided to download again the apps that I needed. Thanks anyway for the info.

Going from Sense to CM12, its definitely a bad idea to try to migrate data. Downloading the apps again is certainly an option; although a cumbersome one, and of course this just restores apps and not the app data (may or may not be a big deal in your case). For anyone flashing ROMs, I'd recommend checking out Titanium Backup for very reliable and easy backup and restores of apps and app data. And its worth it to pay the few dollars to get the Pro key to unlock all the features, including the batch functions, which allow you to backup and restore all your apps (or filter as you like) with just a few taps.
In particular Titanium Pro can extract apps and app data from Nandroid backups.
I cannot restore any apps from my nandroid backup onto my phone using Titanium Backup.
It opens the Nandroid backup correctly, and i can select apps to restore
It than says "Processing" for a while, and then skips to the last app and then says "Restore completed successfully", but no apps have been restored.
I cannot find this issue anywhere
Any help is welcome
Same issue
Depends what your selecting vs what you have permissions to do. Rooted? S-off? Restoring system apps? Restoring system settings?. Some things are not allowed to be restored.
Deselect all system apps, system settings, google apps and htc apps. You might have better luck.

Rooted
Trying to restore regular user apps
Nandroid Manager restores the apps but without data for some reason
Im willing to pay someone for a solution. I think this problem is device related in some way.

The simplest way I found, make a TWRP backup of your current ROM, restore your nand-backup, from there make backups of the apps you need, then restore the TWRP backup of current configuration. From there u will be able to restore needed apps.
Or submit this bug to TB team and wait for a fix.

My nandroid backup is half corrupted... The backup of the apps inside it are fine tho.
Not working for me either, which is a disappointment. Any solutions?

Try to install different versions and everything will turn out ® Titanium Backup - {Mod edit: Link deleted. Oswald Boelcke}
Hi all, i never found a solution to the issue.
I assume by some huge coincidence that both of my backups (nandroid and Titanium backup) were both corrupt. I cut my losses and started fresh, and uses older backups where necessary
