Another question about infuse rom installation

Ok I have not done anything but root and unlock my infuse.
I am thinking about installing Infused 2.1.0.
I have not backed up anything, but there are apps that I want to keep that have been taken out of the stock.
If I restore missing apps with data, will that keep all of the apps I have? Im just wondering what the difference is between restore missing apps and back up all user apps?
Also, it is my understanding that the ROM extends the battery time. Is this true?
Sorry for being a pesky n00b

When you restore ,just restore apps. Don't restore data. The data might cause a conflict.

this isn't true - it isn't going to cause any conflicts with "missing apps" that are being freshly installed to your phone on a new ROM (i.e., not replacing another version of that app).
the only thing that you really need to avoid is restoring system data of any kind. that will cause conflicts with your phone, SMS, e-mail, etc. restoring "missing apps" should work just fine, even if you want to restore the data also.
as for battery life - yes, custom ROMs tend to get better battery life than stock froyo does.
good luck, and remember - you can always revert to stock froyo!

[Q] Superwipe and titanium backup and new ROM question

I'm about to install Android Revolution HD™ 3.x XE but my question is I'd like to back up my phone and apps with titanium backup and restore my phone after installing the ROM
Now I know I need to use superwipe but buy restoring everything after am I defeating the purpose of using superwipe?
I dont want to be restoring old files I may not need or could cause problems
Thanks In advance

Although I don't have a firm answer to your question, I would advise you against doing a full restore (system data and everything). I've had numerous problems such as my lock screen PIN code changing after a reboot (preventing me from logging into the phone).

I backed up using Titanium then used superwipe, after I had flashed the rom and restarted the phone all my apps automatically reinstalled. I am a noob so I am not sure how or why this would have happened. I would add that everything went very smoothly for me and the phone is running very well, absolutely no problems and I am very new to this rooting game. This website and the developers that are on it are both fantastic, a big well done to all concerned.

I just flashed arhd and restored "all apps with data" with titanium backup. everything seems to be running smoothly

Thanks for the replys, I'll probably Flash the new ROM at the weekend

Mine did the same thing. They reinstalled (most of them anyway) because google kept a record of what I had loaded from the market. The only thing is because they were reinstalled automatically the market doesn't give me the option of removing them. Is yours the same?
On a side note a while ago when I first used LeeDroids rom I used titanium backup to reinstall my apps and data. When picked my phone up the next morning (it was plugged in all night) it was red hot where something was loading the cpu up. I reinstalled the whole thing a couple more times before I realised it was either an app or the process or reinstalling them on a different rom with Titanium that was causing the load. Now I use mybackup pro and just keep my data and install the apps separately.

Just dont restore your system data as it may cause problem, only back up and restore user Apps...
Contact and SMS can be easily backed up via People and Message options.

I just used superwipe after a Ti Backup and installed ARHD and now can't restore anything on my s3

TB Restore of One S problems (warning)

Hey guys,
I recently bought an HTC One S. I came from an HTC Amaze 4G, and thus I backed up everything in Titanium Backup *AND* SMS Backup and Restore.
Thank goodness I backed up my texts in SMS B&R.
When I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device, I went to install TB and restore missing apps and all system data.
I have never had this happen before, but when I rebooted the phone afterwards it said "Loading" on the HTC Sense screen and stayed there forever. It asked a few questions like Facebook login, etc. but still remained stuck on "Loading."
I eventually gave up and decided to take matters in my own hands. I figured that it's likely HTC Sense 3.6 data files were not compatible with 4.0 to a degree to cause issues, so I went into settings and cleared out the data for HTC Sense, and rebooted the phone.
When I rebooted the phone I was finally able to go into the messages app. Turns out I had a new text. NONE of my text message threads were there!!!
I am restoring them right now with SMS B&R.
I don't think this can be an ICS thing because on the Amaze I restored a TB backup the same exact way to a new ICS ROM and everything was fine. Has to be HTC Sense.
Anyhow, I just wanted to warn you guys. Don't trust a TB backup by itself from another device to the HTC One S. It may not work.
I see no reason to believe it won't work if coming from another phone with Sense 4.0, however I would be cautious and AT LEAST backup your text messages with SMS Backup and Restore.
It's still in the process of restoring. I am thinking that should surely work, but until it's done we won't know for certain. Will be certain to update this thread.
PS: I know some of you believe that you should never restore system data when going to a new device/rom (even though this is my 2nd post I've been lurking for quite a while :-D (as a guest)). I prefer to have all my stuff restored. If it causes a problem I am willing to go back and re-flash the rom

AR @}-,-`--

you cant restore system data from one phone to another, Thats a recipe for disaster. Even restoring from one ROM to another is risky...
Only ever restore apps and app data, Not anything else.. Ive been using TB for about 2 years now.. Never had a single issue with it

@ azzledazzle, did u see this? )

yes i saw it, but i dont get why you like to restore system data...
there is nothing of use in it if you are restoring using the same ROM, the data will be in that ROM anyway.
If you are restoring on a new ROM, you cant restore the old data lol
you like to restore system data, yet if you have troubles you wipe and skip restoring data..
Why not just skip system data altogether ?
You sound like you have OCD or something

System data saves the wallpaper, all icons, folders, etc. in the native launcher, alarms, etc. etc. which is not restored with apps. System data also saves the text messages, and restores them WAY faster than SMS Backup & Restore.
I've never had a problem restoring them until now. I tried one time not restoring system data, following the advice of someone on here who said it was pointless, and ended up losing system stuff. After that, never again do I restore without restoring system data.

Rebooting problem TF101, after upgrade to ARHD 3.51 and TB Pro restores

I was not sure if this should go to this forum or to the ARHD development forum.
I did run super wipe lite before the install and all seems good until the last restore to try and restore my desktops.
Currently I am running ARHD 3.21 on a TF101 and would like to upgrade to 3.51. During the upgrade everything goes well and the unit boots into the new rom, I restore my apps with TB Pro and then I restore my system data. Restoring system data seems to cause a problem, because after the restore the unit will only stay up a short while and the reboots. What part of system data should I not restore? Specifically I am trying to get back my desktops. Possibly I should ask what do I restore from system to only get my desktops and would that be enough with a new rom to still cause problems?
Thanks Matt

Never install system apps/data from TB... do a fresh install of ROM n start over again without TB restore
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app

I don't even back up my system files anymore. I've only used Apex/ADW/LP for my launchers and none of those actually properly restore their homescreens from a TB restore, asus' launcher may be different but just the same its safer to go with udupa82's suggestion and just restore user apps/data and then start over for your homescreens.

Osprey XT1550 hanging problem

From past 15-20 days I'm facing hanging problem. This happens when I switch on the data on or connects to wifi. As soon as I connects to wifi or data mobile starts hanging due to notifications of apps for eg. Whatsapp Gmail. Sometimes Mobile gets hang when you switch in between multiple apps. It doesn't really matter which rom I'm using. I tried 8-9 different roms since last 15-20 days. well let me give you some extra info about my moto G3. My current recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-r1 current rom is ported Stock nougat 7.1.1 by althafvly. Every time I flash new rom I restore backup from titanium backup app which is taken on previous rom. I take batch backup of almost 45-50 apps and restore them. Is this problem due to my backup process? It's been 1.5 years using this device. Flashing custom roms since 1 year. If anyone is facing same issue or you know the reason behind this, let me know in reply. Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad English.

Uh, if you are using TBP to restore stuff across different ROMs, you must have quite a confused build. At the very least, if you must use TBP across builds, restore the apps but NOT the data.

Basically restore only apk and not apk+data.
Ok !! I got it. Is there any another way to restore apps + data without using TBP which creates such a confusing build?

There are lots of ways to restore apk+data, but that is the problem - the app data has stuff in it that (now) refers to many different roms. Unfortunately:
a) when you jump ROMs, or
b) when you are having a problem
You need to restore w/o data and restart the apps. You could try going to apps and clicking storage and clearing cache and data for each one, since maybe you have an idea as to a few that might be causing it. Trial and guess...
You could also nandroid what you have and then wipe and flash a new basic rom with no modifications and test there to see if prob goes away. No one that I have heard of is having the problem.

Ok. Thank you very much for answer. Now i got the clear picture of impact of restoring app+data on new rom. I will try few different methods. And will let you know soon.
