If I switch over from rooted GB stock to one of the custom ICS (ex. remics or aokp, etc.), will I need to do an app backup (Tb for example) to be able to restore them? I'm assuming yes as each time I flashed a custom rom in the past I have to do this.
However, I have had issues restoring with Tb. It works but then it causes random force closes after restoring (app only - no data). Any other suggestions of how to do app backups and restores on roms?
Thanks!
You can i do it...app, no data...but every now and then i do a fresh download of apps, faster via the pc...i log on to gplay via pc and redownload...just make sure tire phone is on wifi.
But like i said i restore from gb to ics or back...with tibu

I also had a problem with fc's when first switching to ics. I allowed the apps to restore from my Gmail sync though. I'm not sure if this was just me but I'd say using TiBu to restore apps only would b the best option if u don't want to have to redownload
your apps.

Before I flash to paragon I have a question. Currently iam on cognition2.17(i think). Can I use rom manager to back up my phone in its current state(with contacts, apps, settings, txt msgs and so fourth)?

If your question is can you rom manager backup then restore over paragon, no.
Titanium backup for user apps
Export contacts to sd
Its if I don't like paragon, I can revert back to my current set up.

If you flash cog first then restore, yes.
But you need to flash cog first, and if you are on 2.17 make sure it is 2.17 and not a 2.2 variant
Does rom manager backup apps like titanium?
Not exactly, rom manager can help you make a backup of your rom. This includes apps, TB just restores your applications ac/dc system data. So restoring one only does apps, the other restores a previous rom.

Is there a way to convert stock Froyo to Gingerbread? I'm trying to convince my wife to upgrade simply for the battery life but she doesn't want to lose her settings or apps... I'm on Valhalla myself but I did a clean flash....

U can always use titanium backup. Its on the market for free and it backs up all your apps and data and then u download the app after a clean install and then u can restore them. But u have to be rooted

When restoring from titanium backup, does it restore installed apps?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
+1 for Titanium backup. Just make sure you only back up user apps and not user apps + system data. The system data from Froyo will not play nice on a GB rom.
Unfortunately, Titanium Backup is the only way. Just be sure to backup only user apps. When you restore, restore user apps and data.
Do not use a Froyo backup in CWM to advanced restore data, since that will mess up some important functions on GB.
Thanks, I'll try that... by the way, can you use a titanium backup pro license on 2 phones? No biggie, since I have a pro licence... otherwise I'll be getting another licence...

you can use it on two phones, if they are on the same google account.
there IS a way around this, so PM me and I will be happy to share.
Pro version of TB isn't needed if you are just backing up and restoring apps. The free version works fine for that.
Hmmm...I think I made a mistake...
After reading this I believe I made a mistake. I just flashed from Froyo to GB (Valhalla Black) and before doing so did a TB with apps & system data. Is there a way to recreate the 'accounts and sync' from my back up...it seems to FC when I try to access anything 'account' related. :/

Raver has said he did not include accounts and sync in his ROM. You can pull the .apk from another ROM and push it into your system. You may try this and see if it fixes your problem.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering, I'm currently running LeeDroid's SuperSensational V4.3.0 (With android 2.3.5). But I want to go to ICS (Darkforest ROM for example).
If I use titanium backup to restore the apps from this android 2.3.5 ROM (including data), in my new android 4.0.3 rom, will this cause a lot of FC issues, or is it a safe process?
I can't seem to find any details about it, so...any experiences?
I don't know about anyone else, but I couldn't restore the apps through TB. I used File Expert to find my TB folder and restored them manually than used TB to restore my data for the apps. No force closes here...

Tb works fine aslong as you have the latest version, no fc but some older apps will be incompatible
Think the latest is 4.7.3 it was updated for ICS

As long as the app is compatible with ICS it'll work fine.
It won't matter that it was previously installed on Gingerbread.
You will almost certainly find the FC issues after restoring the user apps along with data. I havent personally found problem on restoring system apps but user apps sometimes cause FC problems. And on a separate note, you should move onto the DarkForest ROM. Best ICS ROM for me
Hi,
Just to update on the progress: I did flash DarkForest rom and ran a Titanium backup of all user app and some system data (only the stuff I found necessary, i don't use HTC mail and stuff so I didn't restore that).
So far the only app that seems to FC on me is the XDA app (kind of ironic xD). So if anybody's wondering: yes restoring titanium backup to ICS is safe
Just wondering If this app is a good idea to have or do we really need it?
From what I have been reading, it is... doesn't cwm and a nandroid backup accomplish the same thing.... Also is the current version compatible with the ics leaks and all current roms?... I will continue my research but thought I'd throw this out here... It is a question.... Thanks...
Cwm backs up 95% of your setup (it doesn't catch the modem), it's also an all or nothing backup and restore. You can't selectively pick apps or data to restore. That is where titanium comes into play. You can selectively backup your apps their data and your user data (texts, mms, contacts). This is really useful if you flash new Roman. You don't have to reinstall all the apps and data from scratch. You can do batch backup and restore. Titanium also allows you to recover apps from Cwm backups. It's really useful

Titanium works wonders with ICS. I use it after every flash. The previous post described it perfectly. Backup and restore what you want. Its a must have for a flashaholic. I highly reccomend it. You wont regret it. Oh and you can delete, freeze, and unfreeze apps that you dont use or bloatware.

Yes, I've used TB with the ICS leaked ROMs.
I'll third that. I was without home internet few over a month and instead of re-downloading apps and using my data I was able to just restore using TB whenever I was flashing roms. I just started using it and wonder what I did without it.
Titanium Backup is awesome if you switch out ROMS and want all your APPS back without individually re-downloading them.
You can Backup selectively or all apps at once. Restore them selectively or all apps at one.
You can even backup to Dropbox for those unique apps that you don't want to risk losing.
If you are rooted, Titanium Backup is an essential App in my opinion.

I am moving to a new phone with ICS and my current MyTouch 4G OS is stock Gingerbread. Are different flavored APKs pushed from the Market depending on your OS flavor? If I restore the APKs from Titanium Backup to my new phone will there be any issues? Am I better off downloading the apps over again and only restoring the data from Titanium Backup that I really need (like game saves)? Thanks in advance!
It should work, use it on apps that you actually need. Worst case senario is that the app doesn't work and you have to reinstall so i would say go for it.

Apps restored from a GB rom to an ICS one have been known to cause issues when we first started getting ICS. I would suggest downloading all apps from the market, but restore data from your Ti backup to avoid problems. It's what I do when switching from CM7 ta any ICS that I want to try.
