Do NOT advance restore data from Froyo ROMs on GB ROMs. RaverX3X has said that GB and Froyo are very different, so a data restore will not work properly.
For example, a good handful of people have reported problems with their phone after advance restoring data from a Froyo ROM onto a GB ROM. Here's a link that relates to that problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223540
Your best bet would be to use Titanium Backup and restore your user apps. Be sure not to backup and restore your system apps.

+1 on Titanium backup to restore froyo apps onto GB. I also tried to do advanced restore but you'll get force closes. Some of the GB stock phone apps don't like the froyo data that will come with the advanced restore.

So, the best way to backup apps before installing the Froyo update to a previously non-rooted Mesmerize?
App-Brain? I understand that won't necessarily save any data associated with the apps...
I used Titantium for my phone which was running Superclean ROM, with the Voodoo kernel, but now my wife (who didn't want me playing with her phone previously) wants to update to Froyo...
titanium is the best way to do it and preserve the user data.
however, if she really doesn't want her phone rooted (even though the froyo update will void the warranty, and is pre-rooted anyway ) you're stuck using appbrain.
i personally used titanium to back up all my apps and system data, and it worked great.

I used titanium backup, the free version will suffice for backups. You will have to make the backups on your phone, then reinstall Titanium Backup once you boot into froyo, in order to restore your backups again.

+1 I would get the premium mostly cause you will always use this app. Also, I have a spare sd card, and I make a mirror of the internal sd by just select all> copy> paste into external sd card. Then you have a mirror of what is on the internal card.
I used My Backup when I rooted my phone, saved it to sd, and it worked quite nice. Saved all my messages and was easy to restore. Had the option of saving data and app or just one or the other.
When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

Still having wifi issues with ALexanders Miui for X10, and wanting to know any advice on the best way to save/restore apps so that I dont have to start fresh on every minor rom update... Thanks!
Titanium Backup is really good for that, backups app data and the apk to your SD for when you need 2 restore apps.
havent heard of that one,.. i think i'll look into it.. sorry, im not the OP but i was interested in it aswell.
Titanium Backup
Thanks, titanium backup looks the goods.
Can you usually restore apps okay when going to different roms?
Apps yes, it just installs the apk. Data, depending on which data and ROM yes. I've backuped everything when using ARHD and never had a problem restoring everything when I wipe and upgrade it. When I put on MIUI I didn't let it restore all the data, just a few things to get call logs, save games n stuff.
So I am considering possibly installing one the CM ROMs on my Explorer (I guess CM10 if there's a stable ROM). However, I don't want to lose any of my apps or data (e.g. saves in games, settings in various apps, messages, contacts etc.). Right now I am on stock ROM with DarkTremor's a2sd script and all my apps and data on the SD-EXT partition. What would be the best method to make the transition? Backup all apps with Titanium Backup and restore once I install the new ROM? Or is there some way to install a new ROM and keep the apps on my EXT partition working?
If there's no easy way to do it, I'll probably stick to stock ROM. I don't really want to have to reinstall all my apps manually.
Some of your data is in sdcard, so no worries, contacts should be synced to Google, and messages can be backed up with Titanium Backup(Pro?).
Titanium Backup Free can back up and restore apps and app data(includes settings), but not batch, so you have to get Pro or back up/restore all your apps one by one.
However, transition from Sense GB to CM JB/ICS is super-massive, so don't report any bugs if you choose to restore system data.

Titanium backup is the best tool for backup and restoring apps. Get the Pro version its worth it, i change ROMs like in a day or two so i always have a backup with data of all my apps and whether u are coming from gb to ics/jb or going back to gb , just restore the apps. And dont ever restore system apps on a new ROM it is not recommended and csn create instability.
I hope this helps

I already have TB Pro, so no worries there. Thanks for the reassurance, I may look into this further. I've been getting more and more fed up of GB when I keep seeing new devices with ICS or JB, think it might be time to make the switch.
So I can restore all user apps and data, but I should leave out system data? Sounds OK, I don't think I'll lose much by not restoring system data.
Yup I do the same.. Just the system apps.. and keep a copy of the titanium backup ( with apk as i use the free version ) on my comp.. System data wont mostly restore as GB and CM10 are almost incompatible.. you will get loads of fcs..
Hit thanks If i helped !

you do not restore system data on any ROM. It will cause FCs. You should only restore apps and app data
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.
