Im getting a replacement g2x If I did a titanium backup on the one I'm getting rid of can I still restore my apps to my new phone if I root it or will I need to start from scratch?

You can restore your apps once it's rooted, of course. Just don't do a batch and don't restore data. Only pick and choose which apps you want.
So when I get my new phone I just need to root it and it will restore the apps I had installed from my old phone?

So my friend dropped her phone and cracked the screen... she got a replacement but doesn't want to start from scratch. Is there a way to back up all settings, sms messages, apps, etc., etc. on her phone and restore it to the new one? I was thinking Titanium Backup or Nandroid might work but was wanting to get some input from this community before I went at it on my own.
Dell has a backup and restore app that does it for my phone but I have yet to find anything quite like it for a HTC.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Yes I would back up all apps using titanium back up and for sms....you can try nandroid,but not many have tried to load nandroid on another phone coming from another.

Not really thought about but why couldn't you do a back up through cwm then root the new phone... Install cwm, transfer sdcard from old to new phone then restore backup.
Theoretically it seems like it would work.

Give it a shot and let me know how it turns out

i can assure you nandroids (CWM backups) will work fine going from phone to phone. i have done this on multiple captivates, when i switched from my G2 to my desire z, on various mytouch4gs, etc
Nandoid is the way to go. If its rooted boot into recovery and choose backup/restore option and backup. It will take a while and makesure you have ample battery. Don't be scared when you hear Nandroid. Its a term comprised of NAND and android. NAND is just the type of flash memory that most portible electronics use. You have to reroot and reinstall rom manager and reflash recovery. And then boot into recovery on your new phone and choose the same option and restore. Make sure you have ample space on your SD card.

Hey guys,
I've been flashing Roms non-stop trying to find one that I like. The main problem I'm having with this is that I have to go back and redownload each app every time I flash a new rom.
I've heard people say that you should absolutely not use titanium back up, but they don't give reasons.
How do you guys do it? This is crazy...
Titanium backup is fine, just don't restore system data, ever. Restore MISSING apps with data and you'll be just fine.

I am curious to know what other people do to restore apps and associated data. Do you go to market and download all from "my apps" or do you restore from an app backup? Or is there a better way? Can you help a noob out?
Thanks

So you just restore app+data? That's what I did, just wasn't sure if there was a better way. And a big thank you, I love your ROM.

thank you.
yes, just restore missing apps+data. thats all i do.
Sometimes restoring data will cause issues when you flash new roms and the apps might now work properly. I always just flash Apps and then take like 10 minutes to set all the apps up again to be safe after every flash.

restoring MISSING apps and data has NEVER been a problem with me. you dont even want to know how many devices i have transferred my TiBu folder to, and restoring MISSING apps and data has not caused ONE issue, as long as I didnt go crazy and NOT go through and verify i wasnt restoring something Touchwiz related on my Sense ROM, or AOSP on my Touchwiz...etc.

Well I am just glad to know that I am not doing something that will mess up my ROM. I was nervous enough flashing the first time.

I agree TIBU restore apps and app data and be done. Only a few times the app data isn't restored when going from sense, touchwiz to a CM based rom but never had other issues. Flash rom the. Restore apps and data fro. TIBU pro and walk away whole it restores.
I don't bother backing up anything besides my contacts. I restore those first, connect my necessary accounts, and change whatever settings I need/want changed. Then I reinstall my apps.
Well, I agree 100% with Zel and Pirateghost there....Titanium Backup and later restore missing apps and data. As good practice, usually make nandroid back ups just in case.
The first time you flash a new rom is inevitable to sweat as a pig thinking that you will have to go back to your Motorla V3 is something goes wrong....
I don't flash as often as I used to so I use a newly flashed Rom to only reinstall the apps I actually use often. If not ill have a bunch of them I just downloaded and I'm not gonna use.
Plus reinstalling the apps myself and not titanium gives me a fresh Rom feeling lol, yea I'm weird.

I use very few apps myself, anyway, so it only takes a few minutes to set back up after a reflash. Most of those apps, I keep pretty close to default regardless. I run pretty minimal, so it's almost more trouble to take the time to keep everything backed up and organized for my devices than it is to just reinstall the apps each time I flash.
The posts here have given me a bit more to think about as far as TIBU, though, so I might take a deeper look into it soon!
Personally after flashing a rom I cook a slab of Bacon then shower. I then tibu my apps and launcher settings. You can imagine how much grease I take in while we are testing a new rom before release.
I got your 10 char right here

Thank you Bacon-Pope, your comments are (as usual) greasy, crispy, and delicious. Remember Turkey Bacon is neither turkey nor bacon.
after flashing
first thing I do after flashing is check WiFi phone mobile data camera then worry any apps. but I do use titanium backup and never had a problem. maybe I'm the weird one?

Titanium backup pro is the only app I will use to backup/restore.
ROM Toolbox Pro has EVERYTHING you'll ever need as a root user, all packaged in one epic app.

For the last couple of months my Charge has been asking for the gb ota update. if i choose to install now it fails due to my phone being rooted. Im still on froyo and have been wanting to take the update. I would like to keep root, voodoo, all of my apps, phones settings, and theme. Is there a way to get the update without having to have the phone go into a hard reset? Its just very time conusming for me to try and put my phone back into the condition that it is in now with all my settings/apps. I just want to keep everything the way it is but including GB. Any way to do this?
Titanium Backup. Back up, and install a custom GB ROM. Then restore.

I used to be very cautious with flashing/upgrading. Then I decided to bite the bullet and just learn the ropes of backing up and keeping all the files I need to reflash and get back up and running quickly.
I suggest using CWM 4.0.1.4 for making and restoring backups in recovery, which can really be great- it saved me a lot of time.
How do your restore when the phone has been hard reset, with no root and no titanium?
The custom gb roms comes pre rooted rven with CWM(infinity..tweakstock...humble....eclipse))Get TiBa from market and restore
