I know this is a noob question, but how does everyone reinstall there settings and apps after superwipes? Do you guys use titanium? Cause I thought titanium restores like that made crashes. I'm going from HD 3.6.11 to 6.0.1..

Yes titanium is the way most here restore and back up apps. The trick is to restore apps with data only and NOT system data. Restoring system data from another rom to a new different rom will conflict and cause force closes. Kinda self explanatory if you think about it a bit. But bottom line titanium is the way to go when traveling from rom to rom. Titanium is good, but nandroid backups is THE way to back up your set up prior to flashing new stuff. Happy flashing.
But you don't need to restore your system settings other than bt profiles and wifi access points.
When I was using my Desire I used to use mybackup pro. It is a great app. Try it. It will restore your apk's as well as data.

Download titanium backup. Click on the backup/restore tab. Then tap your menu button on your phone. Hit batch. Backup user apps. That will put a folder in your sdcard called TitaniumBackup with your backups in it. After flashing a new rom, download titanium backup again and go to batch. And hit restore user apps with data

+1 for titianium.
as far as contacts go, you have these backed up automatically to your gmail account when you set it up, or do a manual export to your sd card from within the 'people' app.
how about the green system info
My question is similar and having learnt the hard way when installing the system apps and data causing new ROM to FC often.
However, other than the "missing app and data" do you restore anything else? which is safe to do? I assume the account info, access point, MMS is ok? How about the desktop? Is there a way to restore how the apps were organized (i.e. the folders they are placed)?
Also, when you reinstall titanium backup after a new ROM, will it automatically know you can download the pro version if it's bought in market place? Or else, how can one avoid having to pay again to reinstall?
Thx.
You can restore SMS & MMS with the stock Messaging-Program.
Thats the way I do it: Save Apps with Titanium, Store Messages & Contacts to SD-Card and make Screenshots from my desktop´s.
When you change the OS, you can´t restore Systemsettings. Like the Desktop as well.
The Titanium Pro can be activated on a different OS Version. Just download the free one and activate it by the given Key from the paied Version.
Use Titanium Backup its the best one out for android os
So take a screen shots of the folders the apps r in and just reorganized it all over? There's no way to do it automatically then?
Thx

There is a system setting for allowing you to backup the Sense desktop. I forget exactly whatever its called in titanium but it does work after you flash a new Rom and need to restore.

Titanium pro is the best tool with daily schedules of Redo backsups for modified data and new apps.
OK, so i have one mod and now i want to migrate to another mod.
I have a paid Titanium backup app and i know how to restore apps and their data, but i have a few questions:
1. i have customized my Titanium by having filters and backup schedules, how do i transfer these things to new mod? Reinstalling this app will get these settings lost
2. on a new mod - destination mod, how do i properly restore all the apps? Do i set to recover missing apps and app data only?
3. is it possible to get all the widgets and shortcuts on screens like i had before?
Do you mean ROM not MOD?
Not using titanium, but an easy way to back up your apps, and restore them on a new rom
If you download ext4 recovery from the market.
Find it on your phone install recovery touch beta 8
Do a backup of your current rom, and then when you flash a new rom.
Go back to recovery, choose restore
advance restore
restore only data.
It will restore all your apps etc, but keep the new rom.

Thank you, but still, there should be some other way to do that, since i might not restore all the apps, but just some of them, and i really want to have Titanium installed with the custom settings i as already use
As I understand Titanium backs up its own settings to he sd card. At least that's what mine does, I don't remember if I had to enable that in the settings though

Yeah, you have to enable it in the tb settings, otherwise it won't backup your tb settings.

I wouldn't rely on Titanium specially if you have ICS. I would use nandroid or CWM backup and restore data. You will get your Titanium as is too. You can always delete unwanted apps but if you can't restore that a diffrent story.

Im not 100%, but i think so
I'm not an expert but had done a few restore now after trying ics n goin back to gb. So with titanium, u do a restore missing apps n data...u can still deselect the app u don't want to restore
After that, u can restore some system data (in green) individually which includes ur txt msg, account info. Some can mess things up..like I restore the bookmark from gb to ics, n it crash in ics when opening bookmark
But others seems ok. To get all ur icons organized like b4, I restored the desktop one....these shld all b done just for the data if u r given a choice.
That's kinda my experience n it seems to b working ok now after I restore back to gb

Anyone ever tried nandroid backup with gingerbread, then upgrading to ICS and then trying to restore the data partition?
I'm only asking because in this case (my case) most of the restored apps keep FC-ing. Everything else is restored perfectly - call lists, sms, mms, contacts list, favourite lists, backgrounds, sounds, ringtones... - you name it, it's there. So everything besides a lot of apps after restoring from nandroid works perfect even after upgrading from GB to ICS.
SO... any suggestions how to fix the apps FCs problem restoring from nandroid data partition? Thanx
Yes you can save titanium setting to ad card and it will restore by itself. Go to preference and tick first option auto synchronized TB setting. All done

Unfortunately, i did that but it didn't work. I have the setting ticked, but i installed ICS 4.0.3 ROM and now i have a fresh Titanium Backup without any settings i had

1. you could always use a secondary backup app like System Tuner Pro to backup your applications (particularly Titanium backup) then installing System Tuner Pro first then use it to Restore Titanium to the right working order.
2. I don't get this question.
3. Sadly, No

I don't think it is a good idea restoring GB data partition onto ICS. It is known to screw up the system/applications. Your applications need to be optimised so if you flashed it, the optimisation process may be skipped or cancelled out when you flash the data partition.
I want to know if titanium backup is of any useful use for our fit and is it safe.
and is it possible to backup ur rom wid it.
thnx
you can't backup a rom using titanium backup. use cwm for that.
"Titanium Backup" is the most important app for a rooted user,who is a ROM maniac (like me)...It is used to backup apps+data and many many extra features!...But "NOT USED TO BACKUP A ROM"....if u want to backup a ROM then boot into CWM Recovery and go in "backup and restore" and then backup!...ur Done!:beer:
galaxy fit + CM7.2 Rc5.6(2.3.7) + 801Mhz
thnx guys
but ive hard not to restore system settings as it causes many problems
is it true?
yes its safe to restore apps and data of apps which are downloaded from market (or are sideloaded)...
however, restoring data of system apps may give you fc's...
like for eg, I tried to restore my wifi settings from creeds to cm7 rc5.3...but whenever I tried to connect to a saved wifi spot, I used to get force closes...had to wipe data again...
also, the best feature of titanium is batch backup and restore, and schedules...
batch is in menu>batch...you can use it for one click backup and restore...
i prefer mybackup pro as it has a better and understandable UI and works well
can mybackup do backup of app data as well??
yeah it can backup app data and apk for system and non system apps
it can also freeze or unfreeze, break or link to market for the apps

Restore the data only, no need of restoring apps also (since it is the same rom)...

While batch backup in titanium backup app,it backups all the app+data very nicely. We just have to start the batch backup and keep our phone aside till the backup completes. But while restoring apps via batch restore,it constantly asks for permission whether to install or cancel for every app. So does mybackup pro batch-restores apps without asking such permission?
Even titanium PRO doesn't ask...
Free version doesn't allow one-click batch restore...
Typed using a small touchscreen
my backup pro dosent ask
ive tried only restoring the app data till now and not the app on my backup pro
Hi,
i switched from my good old SGS1 to SGS3.
I did a backup of my call log and sms with Titanium Backup Pro (Key) "Save to xml"... sms/mms and call log
Moved the xml files to the new phone and tried to restore xml backups.
But... TB opens only an empty text file - no restore no nothing
Did i something wrong?
TIA
Christian
Found a solution myself.
I had to choose auto indirect (2nd option) at the last point at options menu. Something like "problems with backup / restore".
Thanks anyway
Christian

Can you tell me how to backup and restore sms and call log in a xml file through titanium backup.
I love Titanium Backup - paid for the full version - but ...
... you are better off using SMS Backup & Restore for your messages. You can set it to auto-backup every day, hour or whatever and even dump the backup onto DropBox.

Yes, Simon is right, for your messages you are better off using SMS backup & restore from the playstore. It is very easy to use.

I think you can do it also with TB on the menu 'Schedule', and then in 'Add schedule'.
But I also use SMS Backup & Restore, I think it's more simple. This to SMS and TB to Apps :silly:

All well and good for SMS, but how would you backup and restore MMS?
Titanium backup does both. The only other app I found that does both
is "MMS Backup and Restore", but it's full of bugs and I haven't had
much success with it.

I've used the TiBackup SMS/MMS restore and it works great. I don't really need the scheduled backups though, I would just backup before installing a new ROM or something. You could even backup straight to Dropbox and have a backup in case you lose your phone.
Do you mind elaborating how?

I know that I've successfully backed up my sms/mms in Titanium Backup because when I went to restore everything (moving from evo 3d to evo 4g lte so that was a big no-no in itself) all of the sms/mms came over to the new phone. Of course, restoring everything caused problems so I had to undo the operation via factory reset. Now, I'm manually restoring only the elements that I need, but cannot for the life of me figure out where the sms/mms information would be stored. Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.
Hi Guys
I just need advise on how to re-install settings ( like email settings) and apps when I change or update ROM on Lg phone P 920
I just found it very annoying when I want to experimentate a new Rom and then If I like it I have to reinstall from scratch all my settings ( email settings) and re- install all Apps that was available on previous Rom.
I must guess that for sure there is a way to avoid all this extra work and install on new rom just the settings and apps that was available on old Rom..
Any Idea on how to avoid all this pain? lol
Sorry to bother you guys!
Happy New Year! and I hope that this bloody LG will release soon an update!
Ciao

Use an app called titanium backup. With that you can backup all your apps and app settings to the sdcard and then restore.

Yeah as lzzar said.. download/install Titanium Backup, backup the apps you need, flash new ROM, install Titanium Backup again
and restore your apps..
in case you want to format your sd, copy the Titanium Backup Folder to your PC
