you contacts should be backed up with your google account also your installed apps get logged with the play store so when you do a wipe and open the play store it will remember the previously installed apps and re-download and install them for you. For sms i use the htc messages back up option. and i always do a nandroid back up before going to a new rom just to be safe.

Cnat delete but can close

[Q] Titanium Backup Questions

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched and could'nt find anything. Couple questions;
1. After I do a backup with Titanium Backup, and I plan to use another ROM, do I delete what Titanium Backup has already created? I ask because I didn't know if it overwrites files or just adds to them. I don't want my memory filled with Backup files if I decide to change my ROM ever so often.
2. Does Titanium Backup, backup SMS and call logs? I downloaded My Backup from the Market cause I wasn't sure. So whenever I switch ROM's, I just run Titanium and My Backup. Is it necessary to have both?
Thanks for any responses...
EDIT....I sort of found the answer to question 2....about it backing up SMS/MMS...but what about the call log?

1. Backup User apps only. Keep them, when you update your ROM.. batch restore it. Just make sure you didnt backup system because it could cause FCs.
2. No it doesn't, there are alternatives on the market that does backup your SMS. I don't know any since i use Google Voice and all my SMS are sync'd on cloud.
And no it isn't.. if you're using Titanium Backup, I suggest you have the Pro version otherwise it'll be a huge hassle.

Ok, so you're saying that if I already have a Titanium Backup of user apps....when I back up again, it'll just overwrite the current ones?

Yes. And if you want to load the backups, you restore the apps.

[Q] Titanium Backup Pro

I bought Titanium Backup Pro and have a key.
However, whenever I flash a new ROM, all my apps start coming back. If I try to install the Key from the Play Store, it gets pushed under everythign else and downloads at the end.
I tried the option in Titanium Backup settings where it copies Titanium Backup as an update.zip to the sd card, but that only restores the regular, FREE Titanium Backup app, without the key.
So my question is: How do I restore the Titanium Backup Pro Key on my first boot into a new rom, without installing any of the other apps I previously had? (I prefer to restore everything with Titanium Backup, rather than letting the Play Store do it)
Thanks for reading
When you flash a new rom uncheck keep this phone backed up with my google account. That is not exactly how its worded but its in the initial set up.
REplY
You should have installed MY BACKUP ROOT before flashing the new rom

I do the following steps:
before installing new ROM,
I first back up all apps using Titanium Backup. I ensure that I back up the Titanium PRO app as well.
Then after installing the new ROM... i do the following:
after signing into the phone - I go to play store and stop all downloads and install Titanium Backup free.
when I run the free version it automatically registers the PRO version as it is backed up in it.
then I can restore all other apps using Titanium back up PRO.
Let me know if this was helpful to you.
Yeah I figured it, what I have to do is sign in from my account but uncheck the boxes for backing up accounts and restoring to the phone. Then I just download both the program and its key from the market. Thanks!

I I wish there were more tutorials about the TB pro....
Reply to your question
I hear dev support is pretty good (never had to contact him/her/them myself though)
because when applications freeze, then thaw and then I said: application not installed
I leave the option to keep my phone baked up to my account when I flash a new rom, but always uncheck the first option that says something to the effect of "restore from my account". Then I grab tb from the play store, unless the rom has a baked in file explorer, since I keep a copy backed up in my storage.
Installing my backup root prior to flashing a new rom will do absolutely no good if you wipe data.

You guys are unchecking the 'backup to google accounts ' box, but can you check it again, later on? Because I do want my stuff to be backed upwith google as well.

You dont have to uncheck anything, as soon as the phone gets to the homescreen just go to the play store and stop the downloads just takes a click. Keeping google restore checked you will have your contacts back as soon as you boot up.
Contacts will restore whether the restore from Google account is selected during initial setup or not, as long as contacts are allowed to sync with your account.

Apps Backup and Restore

Hello everyone...
First of all, i'll like to apologise if this thread is already in existence cos i dont really know how to search through over thousands of thread created. I love trying out types of custom rom i feel wld be great. But everytime i install, i'll have to start installing my apps (backed up apk's) manually. Could anyone help me with any app which i can use to backup installed apps so after flashing a new rom, would just have to restore the backup which would install all app and its settings instead of doing it manually all from the start. i googled and downloaded an app Nandroid Manager but i dont figure how to use it.. It wont set a backup location. Any help???

Not very familiar with nandroid back up but i am using titanium backup(buy it, worth every penny), it give u option to both backup your app+data.
I think the free version has the same option.
There is also this app. i used recently on a game(pudding monsters) and it restored the app with the data.
Try both and see which works best for u.
+1 Titanium Backup do it well even free version
You can also do it yourself by doing a copy paste of your data/app folder
Titanium is the best way you can choise

This can be done by two way
1) Titanium Backup - This will ensure all your app and data will be restored on new ROM in single click
a) Backup all user app+data of old ROM
b) Create a Update.zip through Titanium backup app
c) Flash the Update.zip through Recovery (Post installation of new ROM) and enjoy :good:
2) Nandroid backup - By using this option , entire ROM can be backed up (App,Data everything as on date). However this can be use only if you are going back to experience the same ROM again.
1) Through Recovery take the backup of entire ROM
2) Through Recovery restore
3) If you are on S-ON then post restore flash the boot.img manually by using Fastboot command before rebooting the phone. It is must to do step or else phone will be trapped in bootlap
I always ensure following before installing a new ROM
1) Back up of Contacts, SMS/MMS and Call logs by using My Backup Pro app
2) Creating the Update.zip file of all user app+data as on date so nothing can be missed out (Not even save games of Temple Run)
And if I want to go back again to the earlier ROM then I used Nandroid backup. Which reduce a hell lots of efforts.

titanium backup

hi
i use a samsung galaxy s3 device.
id like to make a complete backup. what means, if i for example reset my phone completely, i want to be able to restore it completely!
pictures, apps and app data, desktop shortcuts...
i saw that you can backup all your apps and app data, inkl google apps and samsung apps (calendar and stuff like that) or/and you can create a update.zip.
where is the difference between those two options besides the way you have to restore them?
what kinda backup do i have to do to gain what i want to?

If you are rooted or are willing to root you could use Rom Manager to do full back-ups (as far as I know the S3 is supported)

[Q] Restoring Titanium backup

Hi,
Before changing ROM from stock to Paranoid Android, I did a backup with Titanium and restored everything successfully. The only thing that I can't restore are the contacts. A popup tells me that it was done with a different ROM, but I ignore the prompt, and continue with the restore. However the contacts are not shown in my Contacts app or in the telephone directory. Unfortunately with the stock ROM I hadn't synched with Google, so I'm asking for any ideas how I could get this backup to restore... One option maybe is to go back to stock, do a Google synch, and then move back to Paranoid Android, but that would involve too much work... I don't know maybe the Titanium backup could be converted so as to be readable in Excel and I copy them manually??
Thanks for your help!
Try another tbkp version...
Me too, but now i use google contact and my contact already restore after login in playstore

Hi, what do you mean using another Titanium backup version? The backup was done with the same Titanium version. The problem is that it was made with a different ROM and wouldn't restore in the new ROM.
