I want to root and install a rom, but I know this will wipe all my data. Is there a way to back up apps and data, and intall them to the new rom after root? I would use Titanium backup but it requires root.
The current rooting and s off method does not require a wipe. So titanium might still be your best bet

root first
then backup apps etc using TB
then install custom rom (wipe / no wipe)
if you dont wipe u lose nothing
if you do wipe you have TB saved - just restore what u like

I have installed 7.1 rc cyanogenmod on my SNS i9023.
Now i want to flash NSCollab on it, and i didn't find the guide, that tells me how to flash that mod over cyanogenmod, do i have to remove cyanogenmod first, and if so, how ?
Or is there a way to flash NSCollab over cyanogenmod, since its been build on cyanogenmod, and if so, how do i do it, if there is already a guide of it, could you just post a link?
Will my data be lost, and installed apps and games removed, if so, whats the best way to back it up ?
You need to download the zips and place them on your sdcard.
When in cwm, wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache and just flash.
And yeah, u r gonna lose everything after the data is wiped, so I would prolly back up apps with titanium backup

An app that doesn't require rooting??? I bricked my phone and just got it repaired, so I don't want to try rooting or downloading ROMs again but I want to get all my apps back but they're backed up with Titanium backup that requires root. Do you think I can restore them on Titanium backup without root or is there any other app I can use??
Simply install apps from titanium backup folder on sdcard, but you wont have any data (apps settings etc)
Do I need another backup app to restore them???
Data only with root

Let's put it simple:
If you want your apps, you don't need root.
If you want your data (saved games, personalization, etc) you need root.
That's all.
Hey, I wondered if any one could help me figure out why about 75% of my apps ont work on a custom flashed ROM?
I have tried Revolution HD and some 2 others in the development thread. the ROMS themselves work perfectly fine but most of my apps force close instantly. when i revert back to the stock ROM everything works fine and my apps all work again. can anyone help???
Thanks
are you wiping everything, including data, and both caches when you install the rom? and how are you restoring the apps? titanium or something similar? or just downloaading straight from the market? if ur using titanium, make sure ur not restoring system settings OF ANY KIND.

Well I've used the revolution HD full wipe.zip which I would have thought wipes everything.
When it comes to restoring apps I've used my backup root and I've only backed up apps and media not system setting. Once I've restored them I've updated them to latest version if possible and tried to reinstall them which also didn't make a difference.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.....
Thanks for the reply
I'm wondering if I can expect a backup using Titanium Backup (backing up all user apps + system data) on my existing phone running Android 2.2.2 to be properly restored when it comes back from a factory repair running a newer OS. Will my apps and data really work properly if they update my OS? I'd rather go this route than using a root backup type backup because I'd like to get the OS upgrade. Or is there an easier way to get an OS upgrade while keeping all my apps?
I am using Titanium Backup on my rooted device.
I am afraid this app and other backup-apps are only able to backup and restore user, or pre-installed applications that are not part of the OS.
You cannot backup or restore any system data without rooting the device first, because accessing system data requires root access. The same is true for restoring the data later on.
So if you want to backup system data, preferences or a whole system backup (NANDbackup), you'll have to get root first!
Good luck:fingers-crossed:

Yes this will work as you said you backed up system apps instead is in my experience sometimes when you restore apps and data through titanium it sometime makes apps a little wonky like force closing and such. I would go for it worse case scenario is you notice apps acting up, do a factory reset if unrooted or wipe and reinstall rom if rooted and then when you restore with titanium press the option to restore app only then a least you don't have redownload apps from the market

Hi, can we restore only user data/ app data from the backed up file from recovery. We are not looking to get the ROM restored.
For an example, I had a custom ROM and in order to install another custom ROM, I've backup the internal data + system. Now, on my new ROM i require the old apps and app data present. Since I have a backup file, is it possible to restore only app data from the file?
Note: Titanium backup works only on root.
Background story: Root attempt has soft bricked my phone multiple times using SU 2.46. Hence, I have completely refused Titanium backup for phone's sake.
Thanks in advance. :angel:
