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.

I need help. ** PROBLEM SOLVED**

Im on Valhallah 1.1 and I linked every app I could to my to my external SDcards ext4 partition including the Link2SD App.
After I rebooted almost every app I linked disappeared including Link2SD and MARKET app.
I've tried battery pull/reboot. Nothing. I tried downliading Link2SD through android market on my Browser but it says it is already installed.
Does anyone know how I can fix this BIG Problem??
Thanks

Did you do a factory reset? That might be the reason why your apps are disappearing.
After wiping, you can restore your data through CWM.
That's a known issue with KH2, which is what 1.1 was based off of. I always wipe my phone after every install now for safe keeping though.

No. But I will. To restore data do I have to flash Bali 3.3 - restore Data and then flash KG4 Kernel?

I miss read your reply. I dont have the disappearing app issue. I did factory restore when I flashed the ROM weeks ago. Everything has been perfect.
My issue is the result of using Link2SD to link my apps. The only apps that Im missing are the ones I linked to my external SDcard. Which included Market app and Link2sd. I have no Market now and cant access Link2sd to swap them back.
I was wondering if an advaced data restore is the same process of restoring nandroid backup?

Thanks bkoon. That worked. My backup was a couple of days old but I'm good.
Pardon all the questions I'm at work and was bugging out (80's slang lol) cause my phone was a mess.
Thank you for your quick reply!
Mods can close this thread. Problem fixed.

Shadow gun backup

I installed and downloaded all the data of shadow gun game, and then i changed rom.. before flashing the new rom i did a backup of all my apps with titanium backup including shadow gun, but after flashing and restoring all my apps when i opened the game it said that i had to download all the data again :S i thought that titanium would make a backup of that and that i dont needed to download that again.. any help or solution?

Did you go back into tibu again and restore that app a second time? It will ask app data or both. Try data. If no use it to uninstall and reinstall

If you have cwm, make a nandroid backup of your data and after you flash a new ROM, restore that data through cwm, and presto you'll be back to playing shadowgun without having to re-download the game data.

but making a nandroid backup would restore the previous rom i had or not?

I have the same issue with Titanium backup.
My resolution is to restore the file SaveGameSinglePlayer0 into path "Android\data\com.incross.shadowgun.eng\files".
That file was extracted from a copy of the internal SD on my PC, Titanium doesn't bakup it.

after upgrading to ICS.. how to restore apps?

So i wiped everything and started over with a stock ICS rom, everything went well - but how can i restore all (or most) of my old apps..
i did backups with titanium,and i can see all the apk files (along with other stuff) but is there an easier way to do this? i thought titanium would show me a list of all the old backed up files and i could check to install them all.
i could always go through the folder but some things are funny names i.e:
com.something.dudesname.PROGRAMNAME.version.apk ? lol
that would take for ever to sort through..
for you guys that flash roms all the time, how do you re-install your apps??

I have the paid version of titbu. I just do a batch b/u of user apps and after the flash I do a restore user apps.
From the b/u and restore menu you tap the check mark on the upper right corner of the page.

In titanium backup look for batch option button. Look for the check marked box on the top. Hit that button and it will take you to a new page. Select restore apps and data. Select the apps you want to restore and hit he button in the top right corner. Wait til It restoring all the files and you're done.

I also have the paid version.. But on titanium backup I only see the new ics apps none of my gb apps.

Found it under preferences / backup location had it auto detect and it found it on my external sd card.. Now I can restore my old apps and data!

You *could* just go into the Play store, My Apps -> Installed, and re-install everything. If you backed up with TiBU and didn't have it backup to GDrive/Dropbox/Box or an external SD - and remove the external SD when you flashed - it probably erased all the BU data.

Backup App That will Backup Data

Sorry the title doesn't really explain it to well. I'm looking for an app that I can use to backup my applications with their data, that i can then restore after flashing CM10 to. I've tried Titanium and one other whose name escapes me. They'll backup/restore from ICS to ICS, but not to JB (backups do not show listed). Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Titanium Backup has worked perfectly fine for me. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong?

Not really sure what I could be doing wrong. I've run it as a batch job backing up all user apps, tried it with all user apps + system data. I've also made its own folder on my SD card and point backups to go there.
The bigger issue is the apps themselves get backed up, but none of the stored data with the apps do.. not sure if there's an option I need for that (guess it'd be cache?)

Check out this guide if you haven't got it to work out yet.
If that doesn't work either, just say something and hopefully we'll figure out what's going on!

Someone yesterday in another thread said that Titanium backups are saved to the sd card for touchwiz roms and for AOSP roms Titanium Backups need to be saved to the internal sd card. Could that be the problem?

I've used Titanium pro from ICS to JB with no issues. I don't do batch restores though, I'd prefer to re-download the app from google play then just restore the data. That way you have a clean install. I've had issues on other devices doing a batch restore. It's a little slower this way, but worth it to avoid FCs.

You have to remember that if you set the backup to the extSD then switch from ICS to JB the name of the extSD changes and you have to go into preferences and choose the backup location. That may solve the issue for you

I think the issue here is not fully understanding how titanium backup works. Whenever a full wipe is done/new rom installed and you reinstall titanium through the play store, it will show only the apps and data that are currently installed on that particular rom. Push the batch button, let it calculate scenarios, and your backed up apps and data will then appear along with the new rom's goodies. Hope that helps.
