[Q]App & its data transfering roms.? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to switch roms AOSP to Sense or back to AOSP and get the apps with data saved on them like accounts or saved data like a game to the other rom without setting it up again?

Titanium backup will save your apps and your apps data.

Nandroid restore breaks gmail sync?

Has anyone done a nandroid restore on their ns4g? I did it yesterday and a known functional backup had all kinds of problems with gmail sync -- couldn't send gmail from phone, messages deleted on phone weren't being deleted on server, unread count was off. Had to wipe user data and use titanium to restore apps and data.
Anyway wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if its an issue with cwm on our devices.
Btw was using the stock rooted rom and stock kernel.

Usually for that you just have to go to Menu >Manage apps > Gmail > Clear data. For next time.

Saving icon placement between roms?

Is there an app that can save the placement of my icons before flashing a new rom? Instead of having to resetup my app shortcuts after restoring from titanium backup after flashing a new rom.

Depends on the ROMs, if both ROMs have ADW then there are backup options in ADW. But I don't think you can with sense roms.
Giving "My Backup Root" a try since it has an option to backup system settings. I figure the worst it can do is cause some fc errors & I'll have to reflash & do it manually.

system settings are not the same as launcher settings. 99.99999% sure it will not work properly, if you are going from one rom to a completely different rom. if all you are doing is updating from version 1 to version 2 of the same rom, as long as the rom uses the same base, you dont have to wipe data, which means your launcher, apps, and settings will remain intact
depends on your launcher though as already suggested.
Greatly dependent on the Rom and Launcher. MIUI backup offers built in desktop backup. And something like Adw would also offer this within the settings. Im not familiar with antithetical launcher bit I would imagine many of them offer this.

Did you switch between the same rom? or upgrade the rom? If not,did the roms have the same launchers?

Rooting my sisters phone

Hey guys I own a g2x and have it rooted and roms and such so I am comfortable with flashing recovery and roms but she is not rooted right now so how can I back up her contacts and apps. will titanium backup still work? Thanks

Contacts should be stored on the gmail account. If not then do that first.
To backup apps use a program called backup program and restore. Does not require root.
Also apps do backup on the Google account as well.

Roms considerably slower after restoring apps

After restoring all of my apps through titanium backup on a new rom, the phone (mostly the launcher and UI) lag quite a bit. Is this just because there are more apps on the phone or is there a problem somewhere within my backup files?

To do a test reinstall the rom and then all the apps from market as opposed to titanium. That will tell you what's wrong I bet. Do restore just app or data too?'
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I have been restoring app+data on everything except games. I reinstall those and then restore data. I will try doing it one by one later to see if that changes anything

Try fixing permissions in your recovery. Usually under advanced options. See if that doesn't help.

I always fix permissions when I install a new rom. Are you saying I should fix permissions after I restore my apps? That would make sense

i've seen this mentioned before for performance issues -- just curious, but why would fixing permissions solve this? I always thought force-closes were usually the symptom of messed-up permissions.

Titanium backup question

I was never prompted to create an account when I downloaded titanium backup. How does it work when I wipe and flash a new a rom? Or get a new device?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
It saves the apk & data on a file on your sd. Just put the backup in your new phone sd and tb will recognize it.
Cool thanks for the reply.

I just flashed a rom today. Went to the store downloaded titanium backup and it instantly started loading and restoring my apps. As long as you have titanium backup restored of course

It probably restored the data on the SD. Use a file explorer and try to paste and replace it in root.
You would have to find the file in the phone data I think. Can't rmb.

Well I did move it to SD card. Then I got a new SD card. Tried to see the files from my old card on my computer and was going to transfer them but there didn't seem to be anything on it important?? If that makes sense. And in titanium backup I had all my user apps on SD card buut nothing showed on my computer.

Hi.
Can I make a backup of WiFi settings - passwords from one Rom and restore them to another?
I used to have problems backing system data up from different ROMs. But you can try it, should be under backup system data in TiBu. WiFi settings maybe?
