Hey,
I have the international version (I9000) of the Samsung Galaxy S, and I flashed the beta of CM7 which is 2.3.2,
I was wondering if there was a way or an app that can backup so that the restore works in 2.2.1?
You mean backup your apps and restore them? Or something else? If you are talking about the apps, yes, just download Titanium Backup. Be aware, with changing versions, you can only backup and restore apps, not system settings or any other system software.
So also the data of the apps will get restored right?
Anyone knows?

I haven't used TB in your specific situation, but it has always restored the user apps & data anytime I switch ROMs.

Actually I had experience restoring the WhatsApp app+data using TB from 2.3 CM7 ROM to 2.1 stock ROM. But WhatsApp reports corrupted data so I guess some app might actually change the data structure in higher version ROM. So be prepared when downgrading your ROM.

Hi i am wanting to install infused. But i need to know if I use titanium backup and back up missing apps before installing the rom does that mean that all of my apps will be put on the new rom? And what about my settings such as apn numbers and message center? I appreciate the help.
Yes you can I am doing that now with Infused 2.1.0. Just make sire that when you restore you DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA. Only restore missing apparently/data in TiBu.

Thank You!
Why can't we restore system data with it?
Because it will proceed to overwrite data that's supposed to be there. It just wont work. Never restore system data across different roms

What if I'm going from 1.6 to 2.1? or just reinstalling 2.1?
And I did restore system data when i went from stock to 1.5, and nothing went wrong.
I was on 2.1, but i wanted to try serendipity, and i didnt like so I'm back on infused, and I backed up everything while i was still on 2.1. So technically the back up was on 2.1, so it should work, right?
System apps don't like having their data overwritten for some reason, even if the backup was made from the same version.
In theory TiBu paid has a "system settings migration" feature that should allow you to restore system apps safely in many cases.
HOWEVER:
You use that feature at your own risk and peril. If you use it, do NOT post bug reports for a ROM until you have wiped and restored ONLY missing apps/data.
how can i upload a new rom and not have all of my apps gone...?? i hate having to download all my apps and ish again, is there away to avoid this
Use Titanium Backup and backup all of your current apps. There is a free version of it on the market
You can also use cwm.

Well the only time you have to Factory Restore (delete everything) is when going from 2 different roms. If you are on stock, you'll have to wipe and format to go to CM7. BUT if you are on CM7 and just want to upgrade to a newer version... no wipe is required. Once you flash, everything will still be installed and configured like you had it.
So if you are forced to Factory Restore and wipe everything, it is always best to just do it. Just do it and set up everything back up on the new Rom, then just upgrade that from then on.
When you use Backup programs, they tend to "carry" over stuff from other roms that can cause bugs and instabilities. A typical rule of thumb is to not restore a backup that was created on another rom. Will it work? Probably. Should You? Probably Not.
I use the free App Backup and Restore. It works, and keeps links to purchased apps intact at reinstall (e.g. it will prompt you to download the app or license file from the Android Market if needed): https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.infolife.appbackup&hl=en
I also use APN Backup and Restore to ensure my 4G info remains intact: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LkFQTkJhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ..

I used titanium backup and had good results when I was on eaglesblood. I recently flashed to weapons and all my titanium backup data was gone so I couldnt restore. I think this was due to wiping and then formatting data as the instructions say to do when flashing the rom.

It's because LG ROMs use internal storage as primary storage.. Change your backup directory to sdcard/External_SD/Titanium Backup and it should work.

I know, but one of my pet peeves when installing a new ROM is having to type in APN settings manually after reinstalling my apps, so I threw that in as a bonus.
thank to everybody who helped oon this!
OK, so i have one mod and now i want to migrate to another mod.
I have a paid Titanium backup app and i know how to restore apps and their data, but i have a few questions:
1. i have customized my Titanium by having filters and backup schedules, how do i transfer these things to new mod? Reinstalling this app will get these settings lost
2. on a new mod - destination mod, how do i properly restore all the apps? Do i set to recover missing apps and app data only?
3. is it possible to get all the widgets and shortcuts on screens like i had before?
Do you mean ROM not MOD?
Not using titanium, but an easy way to back up your apps, and restore them on a new rom
If you download ext4 recovery from the market.
Find it on your phone install recovery touch beta 8
Do a backup of your current rom, and then when you flash a new rom.
Go back to recovery, choose restore
advance restore
restore only data.
It will restore all your apps etc, but keep the new rom.

Thank you, but still, there should be some other way to do that, since i might not restore all the apps, but just some of them, and i really want to have Titanium installed with the custom settings i as already use
As I understand Titanium backs up its own settings to he sd card. At least that's what mine does, I don't remember if I had to enable that in the settings though

Yeah, you have to enable it in the tb settings, otherwise it won't backup your tb settings.

I wouldn't rely on Titanium specially if you have ICS. I would use nandroid or CWM backup and restore data. You will get your Titanium as is too. You can always delete unwanted apps but if you can't restore that a diffrent story.

Im not 100%, but i think so
I'm not an expert but had done a few restore now after trying ics n goin back to gb. So with titanium, u do a restore missing apps n data...u can still deselect the app u don't want to restore
After that, u can restore some system data (in green) individually which includes ur txt msg, account info. Some can mess things up..like I restore the bookmark from gb to ics, n it crash in ics when opening bookmark
But others seems ok. To get all ur icons organized like b4, I restored the desktop one....these shld all b done just for the data if u r given a choice.
That's kinda my experience n it seems to b working ok now after I restore back to gb

Anyone ever tried nandroid backup with gingerbread, then upgrading to ICS and then trying to restore the data partition?
I'm only asking because in this case (my case) most of the restored apps keep FC-ing. Everything else is restored perfectly - call lists, sms, mms, contacts list, favourite lists, backgrounds, sounds, ringtones... - you name it, it's there. So everything besides a lot of apps after restoring from nandroid works perfect even after upgrading from GB to ICS.
SO... any suggestions how to fix the apps FCs problem restoring from nandroid data partition? Thanx
Yes you can save titanium setting to ad card and it will restore by itself. Go to preference and tick first option auto synchronized TB setting. All done

Unfortunately, i did that but it didn't work. I have the setting ticked, but i installed ICS 4.0.3 ROM and now i have a fresh Titanium Backup without any settings i had

1. you could always use a secondary backup app like System Tuner Pro to backup your applications (particularly Titanium backup) then installing System Tuner Pro first then use it to Restore Titanium to the right working order.
2. I don't get this question.
3. Sadly, No

I don't think it is a good idea restoring GB data partition onto ICS. It is known to screw up the system/applications. Your applications need to be optimised so if you flashed it, the optimisation process may be skipped or cancelled out when you flash the data partition.
OK so im running CyberGR V10, and im wondering how to properly make it to where my apps get backed up so that when i try out a new rom or wipe and flash his latest that it will auto restore the apps from the market.
I currently have it set to backup my app data to my google account... but even when playing with other roms like odie's miui it never had an option to restore my apps. Maybe im missing something.

oh yes i know of TI backup... who hasnt.
I just wanted to know how the google app restore works.
Quick question. There have been times where I've read that it's not good to restore stuff from Titanium Backup when flashing a new rom but is it on to just restore the apps without data? I think that's essentially the same as just downloading then from the market right?

At the batch menu you can restore missing apps with data. You just don't want to restore any system data.

I always restored my missing apps without data in the past (didn't restore any system) just to be on the safe side, but that's good to know that restoring data works fine for user apps.

Wanted to know what you did is it applicable if you are upgrading your rom from gingerbread to ics?
And i also did that but was always on gingerbread
I used titanium backup when for the first time to backup all my apps + app data and restore it after installing a new rom. It didn't work. It took forever to install the apps because I didn't pay for the premium version, and after it did install it didn't actually transfer the app data properly for most of my apps. My save games were lost and most apps didn't log me in from the save data.
So i downloaded Go Backup, which is much simpler to use and always works. Backsup all apps you want, and restores them in the same way titanium pro does, all at once without you having to accept each app. And the difference is my game saves and app accounts were auto logged in the first time I opened them. I would say Go Backup is a much better solution if all you need to do is backup apps + app data. Don't waste your time with titanium (and it's crappy UI).

Not entirely sure about that. I'd imagine so, but haven't had personal experience with such.
