REQ: Backup software - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Can anybody recommend a reliable backup software for my D2?
I want it to backup everything, in case my mobile gets lost, so that I can have it look exactly like it did before.
Thank you

Sprite backup works when recovering to the same ROM.

The same Rom? So it can be a different phone as long as it is a Diamond2 as well, is that what you mean?

All of apps presented in this article will work correctly: http://www.mytodayscreen.com/the-backup-shootout-who-will-triumph/
I'm using SPB Backup.

Sprite backup also has an "upgrade" feature in restore, by which you can also restore your settings in a different ROM. Sounds intriguing, but I do not have a firsthand experience... Other than that, it works fine for me.

Yes, as long as it's the same ROM, there are many versions of ROM for the Diamond 2 see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486.
I wouldn't recommend using Sprite (though is has the ability) to recover to a different ROM or different version of the same ROM.

spb backup works fine to backup a whole rom, although, after restore you will have to delete the device from active sync and then re-pair the device with your computer, sometimes this can cause un resolved items but for me that has been the only problem with using this method.

Odin is only for flashing new firmware, I don't think you can backup your rom by using Odin.
samfirmware/sammobile do not have asia rom. So cannot restore back. If the rom available, no need to backup already. I notice S+ only don't have asia rom.
Stupid phone.

Anyone manage to restore back this rom? What stock version for this rom?
Heya u guys, just found this thread... Im int he same situation right now, just rooted my sgs+ 10 minutes ago now, i would like to remove the stock apps, any advices ?
why need to remove. just use titanum to freeze the app better.
I uninstalled most of the stock apps yesterday...
The following apps however dont appear in "Root Uninstaller":
Places
Navigation
Latitude
Also, i am asking myself how important "Talk" and "Talkback" are for the system... are they relevant for any functionalities ?
*EDIT*
talk and talkback seem to be important for google services so better leave them alone

There is still no answer to this question, and I am + one who would like to know how to backup ROM I get with phone from my provider. Reason is simple, because of warranty, and second reason for me is SWYPE on my language.
Any suggestions ?
EDIT: To answer my self and other wondering. If you want to backup original ROM you get with Galaxy + you need to install CWM recovery following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331164
After that boot to recovery and choose backup and here you go, after couple of minutes you have backed up original ROM.

Help With Nandroid To New Device

So I cracked my N5 and got a new one today. Did a Nadroid via CWM on the old phone and was looking to transfer to the new and then restore. I see that it's located in /mnt/etc/etc/ but I can't tell if I'm transferring it correctly or not.
I'm doing adb push (file) to /mnt/etc/ but since it's almost a 2gb file, I can't tell if it's working or if it's crashed out.
Is what I'm doing correct? I'm hoping once the transfer is done, I can just restore in RomManager.
Thanks guys!

First of all do not use Rom Manager as it is a buggy, unstable and crappy app. Uninstall it immediately and never use it again Flash CWM or Philz Touch CWM to make or restore a backup. Just place the nandroid you made via usb in the /clockworkmod/backup/ file and see if you can restore it in recovery.
- Edit- as @rootSU said don`t restore EFS or it will mess up you`re phone. Can you restore apps with Tit. Backup or Helium or adb?

I wouldn`t restore the backup cause the EFS files of your former and current phone are different. You will mess up your phone severely. Its best to restore your apps by other means.
So what's the best way to "clone" my broken device to the new one?
If you're using philz, you wont be backing up efs by default so restoring nandroid is fine. Can't talk for TWRP though

Unless you we`re able to isolate and delete your old EFS files from the backup and replace them with your current one i wouldn`t do it. Don`t know if thats possible and i wouldn`t know how to do that myself anyway. I`d just restore the apps and its data and set it up as you want to. Maybe someone else can give you better advice but thats what i can tell you.
Backed up and restored and everything appears to be going great! Thanks guys!
Is there a main thread for Philz so I can familiarize myself?

Thanks for that.
I didn't know about Philz Touch.
I am glad I can finally get the right date and time on my backups plus it adds the ROM name and version +1. :good:

In the Time settings, I set the Time Zone for my region and Time Zone offset to +0 min and used the Qualcom Time Daemon to get the current date and time.
That is what worked for me.
There is another recommended way?

I would say no. I just remember some people doing this would and it replaced IMEI information from previous phone and could potentially screw up your new phone. What is so important that you need to restore for TWRP anyways. A fresh flash on a new phone is the best route to take my friend
We make too much of simply taken the time to restore and reset things on a new flash.

HMMMMMMMM... The OPO only backs up: boot, data, system and cache. It does not backup EFS nor would i check it on the restore menu,
I guess i will give it a go, and see how it goes. already got it backed up

Its your OPO I just don't see why you would risk it but go ahead if it don't work can only be mad at yourself. Lol
Still don't see the big deal in flashing ROM and using TB to restore apps from nandroid

Done it, it's all good, as expected.
Like I mentioned to you, that whole EFS problem does not exist if it does not back it up from another phone and restore it onto a new one.
Props and thanks

cool and yeah I know that but I just dont see the reason to take the risk at all. I see so many take shortcuts and then we have a million how do I fix this that and the third threads. Glad it worked for you
I was going to say yes even if I never tried it as nand only backs up system, boot and data which should be no problem to copy and paste to a same model phone...you tried it first by yourself so good move
Sent from my Oneplus One
Shouldn't be a problem part of restoring to stock on some other phones is flashing a twrp backup and stock recovery. It shouldn't be a problem atall
As long as your not restoring EFS your fine. I have done this many times on many different phones.

Latest Helium, will it work on the X as well as it does on the Ultra?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57165434&postcount=1
Ultra thread. Helium works as Advertised! No root needed.
Why wouldn't it?

Many a user previously, has been disappointed, trying to restore. See all the diverse opinions? To backup is one thing to restore is another.
@nhizzat
I take it you have wiped your data & fully restored with Helium? Unrooted?
