i'm quite sure that backup and restore only works on original se firmware. you have to use a third party app like titanium backup or mybackup root on custom roms. they're both free in the market.
or you can export your contacts to your sd card as a .vcf file directly from your phonebook settings and import them on your custom rom the same way.

When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

Do NOT advance restore data from Froyo ROMs on GB ROMs. RaverX3X has said that GB and Froyo are very different, so a data restore will not work properly.
For example, a good handful of people have reported problems with their phone after advance restoring data from a Froyo ROM onto a GB ROM. Here's a link that relates to that problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223540
Your best bet would be to use Titanium Backup and restore your user apps. Be sure not to backup and restore your system apps.

+1 on Titanium backup to restore froyo apps onto GB. I also tried to do advanced restore but you'll get force closes. Some of the GB stock phone apps don't like the froyo data that will come with the advanced restore.
Is there a way to get TiBU to NOT overwrite existing SMS/MMS when restoring?
IE, just merge in the backed up data?
If TiBU can't do it, is there a better app that can do BOTH sms/mms and merge-on-restore?
thanks a ton!
I like SMS backup and restore

Use Gosms backup and restore. then back that up by TB.
thanks, but without having to install another app
im running an ICS rom on my G2x if that helps. is that the data i backup with TB (Phone/Messaging Storage)?

It is best to use a separate app for that. If you backup a system app with TB and change to a different rom it may not be compatible and could cause problems.
well thats true, but i guess what im really asking is does that app or whatever it is that TB sees and calls Phone/Messaging Storage contain my text messages?
i will probably install some other SMS app that backs up or backs up to gmail just in case
I never backup my apps. But i back up sms with sms backup+

yeah sms backup+ is good, i installed that, but i was right, Phone/Messaging Store is where your text messages are kept, backing that up with TB works as well
Hello everyone, I restored the first backup of my LG-P999 through cwm to stock. I had already installed titanium backup after rooting my phone and before flashing roms. And now that I am back on this stock rom none of the apps i used to have running cm7 will show up in titanium backup. Is there a folder I could extract from my cm7 backup to get them all back? Also just curious because I will be getting a new phone soon and how I am going to get all my apps back.
Thanks in advance

In titanium under preferences go to backup folder location it has an option to automatically locate a backup folder or if you know where it is you can find it. Cm7 uses sdcard as primary storage, stock uses internal so it confuses titanium.
