Has anyone successfully transfered application data from one from to another using Titanium BackUp?
I ran a backup of everything from my Nexus One and then dropped that backup folder onto the SD card in my G2X, but all of the backups aren't showing up when I open Titanium Backup.
Am I trying to do something that isn't supposed to work?
Thanks for any help.
You'll have to change the backup directory that titanium backup looks for, or move the folder you have in the sd card to the internal sd card

What is the best way for me to do a full backup, given that there is no sd card. Does that data stay after a wipe? this is pre root. Previously I would use astro, but I'm not sure of the no sd issue. Guess I can mount and backup to pc.
Any suggestions?

There is an sd card...just that's its internal. The data stored in the sd card is safe after you flash new rom's after a wipe.

The best way to back up your things are to connect it to your computer and simply move whatever you have in your internal SD to your desktop or wherever you'd like to save it to. That way if anything should go wrong you have it on your computer

You can back it up to the Cloud
if you have Titanium Backup PRO
you have the option to backup to Drop Box
you get a FREE 2GB, when you sign up
which is more than enough, since our internal memory is only 1 GB to backup
He's pre-root, so Tit Pro won't work, as it requires root.
Since he's PRE-ROOT, he will lose everything on the internal sd card if he tries to do the FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK command to root.
Best thing you can do right now is plug up to USB on the computer, copy all contents to your computer and copy back after rooting/restoring.
The internal sd card is safe from a "factory reset" kind of wipe but NOT SAFE from a bootloader unlock.

yeap, that's the only Drag in the NS rooting method
back in the SGS it was so straight forward, just unroot, and you are done, you don't even need to reboot the phone
much less Format the whole thing, just to get root
Ok, good thing I waited. It's a ***** to export app settings too. Now to pick a good rom.
Thanks for the help.

OK, copying internal SD contents is easy. But how to make a backup of things from internal storage?

You can't. There's no way.
This is why many of us rooted ASAP, to avoid accumulating data (like Angry Birds progess, LOL) that we would lose once we rooted.
There are apps to backup SMS messages, and your contacts, calendars, etc, should backup to the cloud. All you're going to lose is apps data that isn't saved by the app to the sdcard.
the pc? similar to mybackup pro? but instead of sd card it can send it to PC and with ability to restore everything including sideloading?
I used My Backup Pro and just copied and pasted the entire SD card directory to the computer, pasting it back on the Sd card and overwriting everything when I wanted to restore
Titanium backup syncs to dropbox with can then be synced to a PC.

I mean restore it from of since I haven't been able to restore since sideloading is disabled

you can just create a nand backup, or many of them, and copy the nand backup to your pc. i have a few nand backups sitting on a pc somewhere just in case all hell breaks loose and i need one to restore my phone, i just grab it and restore.
I meant directly from pc

Ditto, or you could use TiBu and any other external synch utility like SugarSync and just synchronize the entire backup directory.
Okay so I seem to be running out of space fairly quickly on my memory card and seems that my memory card has become "bloated' with some data file and folders from apps and games no longer needed.
I want to format my card to start from scratch, but what folders will I need to keep to be able to keep important backups which include origional backup from my stock Vodafone Rom before I went to ARHD 6.2.1.
Easy ones to recognise is titanium backups I've recently done. Any other advice as me trawling though my memory card root folders I don't know.what to look for?

What did you do backups with first? Cwm?
Otherwise just:
install 4ext (4ext.net or market) and make a backup from recovery, transfer it to your pc/laptop, then format sd card in 4ext.

If you're just going to start from scratch, I'd say just keep the titanium backups folder and your clockworkmod folder (That's where the Nandroid backup is).
You'll also obviously want to keep your DCIM folder, assuming you have taken any pictures or videos in there you want.
Lastly you might want to backup some of the folders used by apps with data that you have invested in (ie. games you've played for a long time, etc) onto the computer before you format your card, just in case you'll need those files later.

Hi,
Copy the whole card onto PC.
Save photos, anything that says backup, all cwm/4ext backups, titanium.
If its on your PC, you cannot lose it ..
Format the card on your PC to fat 32
Put your card back in, android will put down any files it needs, restore your valuables
Ok, so here's the deal. I just bought a GS3 coming from a Inspire 4G and I used Titanium Backup to back up all my .apks and their data. I installed Titanium Backup onto the S3 and moved the data from the external SD to the internal memory where the Titanium Backup folder was created for the S3. But the problem is the apps aren't showing up in Titanium Backup where I can reinstall them. Even if I install the app then open Titanium Backup to see if it recognizes the backup now that the app is on the phone I still get nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

DId you change the backup folder location under the settings?
ive don't it between phones of the same type..
just copy the folder with the backups onto another sd card and it just showed up in titanium backup..
I am going to un route my phone and then root it again. My favorite reminder app Astrid is no longer supported and is no longer in the market however I still use it all the time. I don't like the other applications.
I use titanium back up. I am assuming that I can pull the application off of my phone and put it on my desktop and then transfer it back to my phone and install it. Is that correct? What file should I look for? Do I need multiple files? I copy and pasted the Astrid folder from my phone to my desktop so I could transfer it back to my phone and still have all of my information when I restored however I don't think that folder has the actual application in it.

Its as simple as opening titanium backup, going to backup/restore, scrolling to the app you want which in this case is Astrid, tap the app and press backup! You don't need to move the file off the phone as long as you're not wiping the internal SD which 95% of the time isn't necessary. Hope I helped!

Thanks for your response, however I will be wiping the phone completely.

You can set the location of Titanium Backup to an easy to remember folder. After finishing the backup you can transfer the files to your PC, and then to your new phone.
In case you have an external SD card you can set it to backup there. Then you can just insert your SD in the new phone to recover.

Samsung galaxy nexus, so no sd card. Which file am I looking for in titanium? And do I want to restore that file necessarily? I might be putting it on an SG3 and I wouldn't want to include and system info and I'm not sure exactly what that backed up file includes.
Is there an .sdk that I should look for?

You can use titanium backup or backup system apps using es file explorer backup
Maybe I'm not being clear. What would the filename be called and where would I find it? I installed root browser but there is no search function. I'm assuming it's Astrid.sdk
