When I flashed to the stock Froyo ROM, I saw that Froyo can backup your apps/settings so the can be restored to a new phone.
When I tried to search how this works, I keep seeing that the setting for that is in the "Privacy' settings but I don't see it there.
Does anyone know how this works for the Captivate?

I've been using titanium backup for awhile without any problems. Recently I flashed Serendipity. Since then, I have tried flashing perception 9.5 and cog3. When batch install "all missing apps with data" with either of those roms, Only half the apps completely install, some have errors on launch and some don't have any of their data copied over. I tried redoing it with "migrate app data" check too. It still didn't work. I can restore back in a fresh serendipity install without any problems. I dont know what's going on. I have also tried going back to serendipity, restoring apps and then backing up with mybackup root. When I reinstall cog3, I get the exact same problem trying to restore with mybackup root.
Has anyone else come across this? Is there a fix
Have you tried clearing the cache of TiBU? Also do you have allow install of non market apps checked?
I'll have to try that next time. Isn't third party apps enabled by default on dg's roms. And wouldn't titanium backup not restore any of the apps if that was the problem?
I'm back on serendipity now because I need a working phone. I'll give it another shot tomorrow though.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Make sure usb debugging is enabled?
Make sure busy box installed?
Make sure no market apps are enabled?
I tried again and nothing I tried worked. I am not able restore my apps in cog 2b8 either. I have restored to that rom successfully many times in the past.
I am able to restore my apps in perception 10.1 however. It seems that restoring apps in 2.2.1 roms are not a problem, but 2.2 roms it won't work at all. This is a real problem for me since the modem on my phone only works properly on captivate roms.
Hey, I recently flashed my galaxy S to 2.3.3
It works fine but half the apps on my phone are force closing before they even open
like market, encounters an error
Do i need to restore?
thank you

That is what happened to me. If you used Titanium backup. Redo the flashing of the rom. And only restore missing apps and not all the system data. I think restoring all system data from a previous rom onto 2.3.3 isnt compatible.
Hi all.
Sorry for a noob question.
I wonder about the correct restore procedure after flashing new ROMs...
Is it safe to restore everything (thinking of apps+data, system settings, desktop etc) using either Titanium or MyBackup? Or are there some burried negatives which should be paid attention to?
Thx.
If you're flashing a different ROM than before then you probably shouldn't recover the system data, just apps and user data

Better restore just apps, NOT data, these can make you get AOS Bug..
OK, but what about for example setting up the desktop?
Setting up the desktop takes time every time you flash a new ROM. Is there a workaround...?

I never heard of AOS bug (might be a device-specific one & not related to the devices I have), but what would be the point of backing up your data if there was no way to restore it? It is perfectly OK to restore your apps and their data. It's also OK to restore system data if you're not switching ROMs.
I personally never had any problems migrating my apps + data back and forth between Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs.
After flashing between multiple ROMs yesterday, restoring all app+data, I never noticed any problems. Any search I do for an AOS bug comes back showing it caused by 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. So I imagine that if you're flashing ROMs and restoring on Froyo or below you won't have an issue.

All right then... I will go with that it is safe to restore - at least if not switching ROMs... I think it will end up with some testing
Thx
I know there are a lot of questions about this on XDA, but no one seems to give a straight answer on how to fix this or even prevent it.
I flashed kh2 deodexed today via CWM, everything went fine.. I installed titanium backup to restore my apps, which I did, they worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Then the apps dissapeared, and the home screen shortcuts display the SD card icon and they won't open "Application is not installed on your phone".
Then, I did a wipe to data and cache partitions, but this time I restored apps only (without data) one by one, as I needed. Not as a batch, as I did last time, and was working ok. Though, I thought I'd try the ICBINB kh2 ROM, so I flashed it fine. Restored apps through titanium backup, this time one by one, mostly apps only (some of them w/ data) and was working fine, but suddenly the apps dissapeared again.
I'm about to wipe the phone to fix this... but, is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
Is restoring data from titanium causing this?
Well there has been many direct answers on this topic. Factory reset. restore from cwm, not TB.

hey, didn't know that. **presses thanks button**
I just restored apps via cwm, fixed permissions and it's working. It even got my settings back.. wtf. I was living under a rock all this time.
But is it completely safe? I guess that for GB builds, doing backups and restoring this way may be harmless, but probably not the same story if coming from a froyo rom.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
yea, what i did was flash both 2.2.1 and 2.3+ fresh. then backup each and whatever rom you go to, flash the corresponding backup.
Hello,
I have been working on an optimized version of the new 2.3.6 from AT&T. I am coming from boneSTOCKeteer which runs off of the Rogers stock base.
When restoring user apps only with Titanium Backup it constantly freezes and never completes. Could this somehow be related to the fact I was on a Rogers rom and now am on an AT&T base? Do user apps change their stored data based upon the ROM or something? How do other people use TIBU when going between ROMs? I am currently restoring from nandroid and I am going to see if TIBU completes successfully back on a stock bonestock.
Thanks
Update:
Apparently it does not matter, it continues to freeze even when I am back on boneSTOCKeteer.
