I just did a restore of a Nandroid backup and it has not got my apps and settings. I thought it was supposed to restore everything?

You are mistaking it with Titanium backup, which saves apps & setting
Nandroid is the core backup
Damn! That sux. I thought it did a full backup. I hate having to start from scratch.

As we say, first time is always hard
Good luck
I've got back to some semblance of where I was before. However I want to do a Titanium Backup. If I do a backup of user apps only what about any custom settings like all my Circle Launcher icons and apps assigned to the icons? Or do I need to do system data as well?
A nandroid restore should but you back exactly to the point of when you did a backup. That's how it has always work for me on my Nexus One and my TF.
Not sure what happened in your case.
I did a restore and all my user apps and settings for things like Circle Launcher were gone. Likewise for some user settings like email and the market. It was almost like a fresh install.
Nandroid backup is supposed to save EVERYTHING. It's like time traveling, so yeah something messed up on your part when it was supposed to back up the app.
Did you do a custom backup (advanced?) or restore. You could say what you want to restore specifically but that is for more advanced people.
I just chose default backup options. On the first boot it would not boot and got stuck at the eeepad screen. I did a cache and dalvik wipe and then it booted. But to a near fresh install. No idea what is going on with that.

What are you using to backup?
You could try just flashing the data partition again. This is where all your user installed apps and settings are, which seems to be exactly what you are missing.
I might try restoring the data only after I do another backup in CWM and Titanium. There are a few files I would like to recover if possible.

I (finally) flashed v2.0 touchmiuiwiz, someone suggested that since nandroid restores cause fc's, that i should flash the rom, reboot, let it load, then go back into cwm and restore data.
i did that, and the music player/camera/gallery/etc still dont work. i guess i'm being forced into titanium backup. question is - does it work if i make a backup ON THIS ROM then restore? or do i have to flash a different rom that doesn't fc said apps, THEN backup, then flash v2.0 and restore?
also, how does tit backup work? after flashing, where do i go to restore data? thanks bros.
anyone? =|
when you make a backup and restore you have to wipe data/factory ereset and it will work from any rom!
titanium backup makes a backup file of all your apps on the sd card and you can backup whenever you want.
so after the data wipe, i re-download titanium backup and restore from there?
Yeah, pretty much. TB Pro you don't have to confirm each app install when restoring. It was expensive but since I flash often it really speeds up the recovery process.
You can back up settings as well as apps. But I would only restore settings if on the same rom, no matter the version, unless significant. But all else, apps you can restore from any rom no problem. However, if you get a FC in an app (sometimes I'd get it for Gmail) you can just wipe the data for that app. It usually resolves the problem.
Hello Everyone,
I have a question about Titanium Backup. I run backups for all my apps (without data) and when I run a factory reset I have to reinstall everything. I understand this because that erases everything including Titanium Backup from my phone. My question is am I doing something wrong and is there a way to recover your apps with Titanium Backup after a Restore or Reset of your phone? Because once I reinstall TB after a reset none of my backups are there obv. But I have to go and re download everything from the market which is a pain in my behind Frankly. So in closing either TB should have some sort of cloud storage for there users where their apps are being backed up to OR they have something like this already and I am blind. I have looked several places but everywhere I go and it says this is possible they are just showing restoring apps with TB after a new rom is flashed...Not completely reset.
Thanks for any help that can be provided!!

I had the same question when I first started using TB. yes you do lose it when you factory reset, but go into the market and redownload it and the pro key if you have paid for it. and you can batch restore your apps an Data. I do it alot cause I'm always testing ROMS. Btw get the full version it has some nice features like batch install without having to click install for every app. makes restoring a breeze

The backups are stored on your SD card. As long as you aren't wiping that, they should still be there in the Titanium Backup folder.
TB does have Dropbox sync, at least in the pro version. Don't know why a factory rest would delete your backups though, does it also delete photos, etc?
Well all backups from TB are on the sd hence u need not worry !
Also just install TB from market and u will notice all of ur backups are ready to be restored !
consider shifting the TB app to the System intead of Data hence it can survive a factory reset !!
i have installed the all in the system !!
Thanks everyone for your replies, I just upgraded to the Pro Version. Thanks for all the help, yea I do the same thing I am always reflashing different roms to try out and I use Odin to go back to factory a lot too. So thats why I brought the question up. Thanks again!
I'm not talking about apps, as I usually like to install each app fresh, or I use Rom Toolbox/Carbon to restore the apps. I mean all the system settings, DashClock layouts etc.
When I switch roms, I like to do a full format/factory restore, which wipes everything except sd card and then install. I use Nova launcher and it restores the homescreen layouts but a lot of the times the apps/settings don't restore correctly.
I was going to post a similar question. However, i was gonna ask how to save the phones entire state (apps, settings, everything) when flashing a new rom.
I just don't wanna have to spend the time re-downloading every single app and configuring everything every time beanstown has a new build.

There is an app called Easy Backup that backups everything on a cloud storage site.

If your using CWM recovery you can restore just the data from your nandroid backup (you do a nandroid backup before you flash right?). In recovery go to advanced restore, choose your nandroid backup and just restore data, nothing else!.....Been doing that on Synergy and CR after a clean flash and each time this method has restored all my apps/settings/wallpaper/screens flawlessly. YMMV because I use TW not those other launchers.

Nandroid backup is simply a backup made in one of the recoveries (TWRP or CWM), sorry can't post links yet, just do a google search on "nandroid backup". Essentially nandroid backup makes a backup of almost everything that is OS related. I don't see that TWRP allows you to do an "advance restore", but CWM does. I've been using CWM from the my flashing beginning, so don't know much about TWRP.
Also go to youtube and search "backup with TWRP" to be shown how to do it.
You can use TiBu to restore just data as well, (although I don't do it that way anymore - CWM advanced restore is much easier).
If your flashing you will want to learn how to do some kind of backup in order to recover from catastrophe, backups are your friend.
I have been happily running CROMI-X 4.6.9 for some time now but yesterday I found that my tablet had turned off. Turning it back on again was fine but it seemed to hang at the boot animation and get really hot.
I tried wiping Dalvik and Cache but that didn't help, so I made a TWRP backup before wiping Data. The tablet booted fine now, so I tried to restore Data from the Nandroid using Titanium and although all my apps are back their Data isn't.
How can I get the data for each app back?

Sound like you restored apps but not data? Do it again in titanium but make sure you restore user data and apps.

I did do both... even tried it twice to make sure I wasn't being stupid.
When Titanium failed, I tried to restore apps and data from the nandroid using Nandroid Manager, which produced exactly the same results.

Did you backup before or after you wiped?
The only thing I can think of is you used to have your backups on external and it is now looking on internal? Or you have scheduling turned on in tibu and you've overwritten your backups?

Sorry, I'm not talking about Titanium backups. I used Titanium to extract the apps and data from the nandroid backup.

Ah ok, that'll probably be your issue then. Presumably Tibu has failed to understand or find the nandroid user data.
Hi, I'm a bit new to Nandroid Backup, so when you click backup in TWRP then there is "Partitions to Backup" options. I read a guide that you have to check Boot, System, and Data. The thing is, can I just backup System and Boot? And when I restore them does my phone will gone wrong?
Thanks
• Boot is to start the phone up. This is always needed.
• System is for the ROM. This is always needed.
• Data is for your installed apps and settings. Basically, if you backup and restore this, it will be like you used a time machine.
Every data backup is for its own ROM! Do not ever try to restore a data backup from a different ROM!
• Cache is basically the cache. It is not needed, but you can. It speeds up the startup after restoring. If you don't backup it, it will be recreated anyway but you have to wipe your old cache first otherwise they will conflict.
