Hello,
I have a question. If we take back up in recovery mode and then flash the ROM and then re-install from back up, does that re-inatall all our applications, app data and contacts and messages? What does that back up re-install to be precise?
Thank you.

Yes, it re-installs all of the your apps, app data, settings, messages, contacts, the only thing it does not restore is anything on your sd card, it does restore apps that were moved to your sd card though.

When I take back up from ClockWork recovery it does not back up apps and data. Am I right ? or it does ?

Hmm, apps are stored in the data portion of the backup. Where do you install your apps? To SDcard or to the phone's internal storage? If you're not installing them to the internal storage I'm not sure where they would be or whether they're being backed up at all.
If you're not installing them to the SD card, try this. Do your restore then reboot then go back into recovery and do an advanced restore and just do /Data.
When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

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'm thinking to do a factory reset - HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile since my phone seems to be consuming more battery today.
<The reason was yesterday, I drained the battery until the phone died by itself. Recharged overnight until full this morning. Installed Fandango & Chase app. After that, somehow my phone's battery indicator (Batstat app) showed a fast discharging rate and my screen became unresponsive.>
So my question is, what are the correct steps to perform either before & after factory reset?
Below is my plan, please tell me if I do something wrong or miss some steps.
1. Backup contacts & calendar using HTC Sync
2. Backup apps using 'App Backup & Restore ' app
3. Backup sms using 'SMS Backup & Restore' app
4. Do Factory Reset
5. Restore contacts & calendar by syncing the phone using HTC Sync
6. Reinstall 'App Backup & Restore ' app and restore all apps
7. Reinstall 'SMS Backup & Restore' app and restore all sms
Is this the correct procedure?
The songs, photos & videos are stored safely in SD card, right? or do I need to back them up separately?
Is it true that Factory Reset won't affect the SD card?
Sorry for this noob questions.
Thanks for the help.
I think you pretty much covered it,and your SD card will be fine so all your music and photos will be there,also the sensation will automatically reinstall most if not all your apps once you sign into your gmail,sync and open the Market just wait a few minutes and bam you should be back in business,although if you have any apk's installed from SD you will need to manually reinstall those items.I have tested this when i did a factory data reset and this also worked when I switched out my device for a new one so I know it works.Hope this helps.
Cheers

Do you back up just the apps that came with the phone or the ones you installed as well?

Jst the ones you installed. The preinstalled apps will be installed during the factory reset.

Hey Guys -
I had taken a backup from the system using CWM (backup menu selection)
After flashing a new ROM i realized I lost all my contacts.
Is there a way to recover only contacts from the back up? I don't want to do a full restore.
Cheers,
Brightidea.
your contacts are never included in a backup. its best that you sync them to your gmail account so that they can be restored after you flash a rom.

Oh thank you for the response. Does anyone know in which files the Android OS keep the contacts stored in the phone memory?

The only way I know how to do it is to: 1) do full restore 2) sync your contacts with google 3)reflash ROM 4) resync contacts with google.
Hope this helps.

not that i know of. but i do know that if you go to your contacts list>menu button>import/export>export to sd card, it creates a file of your contacts on your sd card. you can restore this file by hitting import from sd card

Have a look into the data storage area of the com.android.providers.contacts package. The contacts2.db database holds your contacts.
I want to give the Mahdi rom a try, and I have my apps all backed up via titanium backup, but how do I get all my google and corporate email accounts to move over? Or do I just have to set each one up again.
Only restore user app data. All system data will need to be manually configured

Indeed. I would strongly advise against backing up and restoring of system app data, you'll just have to go through the setup again.
