What is the best way to backup stuff like the arrangements of your folders (with apps in them) and SMS in Titanium Backup? I new to Titanium so any help would be appreciated!
Best way to do that is a nandroid back up. It's will restore everything to the way it was after a bad flash. But if you don't need to superwipe (ie going from ARHD 6.6.3 to 6.6.4) everything will be preserved neway.
Titanium is for backing up apps and their data really. If you uninstall an app or reinstall it, you can get your data back. Useful for games.

Thanks.
Keep in mind that it doesn't back up your messages. Although there are apps that will.

Currently I have an Evo and love it, but when the day comes that a better phone is released, would it be possible to use nandroid to transfer my data over?
Obviously, I would need to wait for the phone to be rooted and flashing a custom recovery before doing this.

In my opinion the best solution would be to use some backup software like Titanium Backup to save apps data, use SMSBackup+ or something similar to store SMS online. Copying Titanium Backup folder in the new SD you will able to restore apps data while with the other software you will be able to restore sms.
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.
did a nandroid backup on 1-25 then changed firmware and loaded in ics.
yesterday lost sd card and all data. question is there a way to get the data portion of the nandroid backup on the new sd card. cant do a complete backup as this will install gingerbread. so can you strip the data from the old backup. like pics music etc etc
thanks
You can try to do Advanced restore. Then you can choose what you want to restore

Hello. I'm on cleanrom but want to flash MIUI. What's the best way to backup as much as possible? I already have titanium, but is there any way to back up my accounts and such?

Titanium backup will backup all apps with data and all your settings and accounts. I would also do a nandroid backup in your recovery and save it to your computer, along with a backup of you sd/internal memory card just in case you get corrupt data.

Hii guys .. I have been using titanium backup from a long time. But from sometime it doesn't seem to be working that good for me. I backed up my apps and data .. Then isntalled a custom rom (bliss pop) i restored the backup (app+data) and although all apps got restored, the data was gone. I lost atleast 8-10 gb of data because i had a lot of heavy games. Do i have any means to recover that data? If not is there any other alternative backup app than titanium backup? For future preference. Otherwise i won9be able to change roms or return to stock.
anyone ?
Hmm..titanium backup is supposed to be the best backup app, dunno why that happened to you.
Anyway, you can also try helium. Its free. I've never personally tried it but ive heard that it works all well as TB and it has a sync feature so u don't need to manually backup all the time when u have some thing new in an app..
Try helium backup. Used to use it when my phone wasnt rooted. Obviously not as good as titanium backup.
Search for Backup+ on xda. An awesome alternative to Titanium backup. Trust me, you'll love it.
TiBu doesn't backup large game data files unless explicitly set in the options. By default it will only back them up if it's under 32MB (See Backup app external data & Select external data by max size)
I use my backup. It's an awesome app. While I was using tb, I switched to it. It's free for a month, so you can try it.

You can do manual backups of heavy games.
1.try backup on apk of the game using app backup and restore app from the play store and backup the apk.
2.most of the heavy games data are stored in Android -> obb.. So keep a backup of obb on the system or phone by just copying it to another folder.
3. After installing a new rom. Place the obb in the android folder and then install back the app from the app app backup and restore.
