So tasker can make nandroid backups.
Im wondering if its possible to:
1: make a nandroid backup upon reboot or shutdown with tasker (I know this is possible). such that if you have 2 different roms, 1 backup will be of one rom (say cyanogenmod) and another backup for say a stock rom. Naming them appropriately (i.e. Backup1, Backup2)
2: make a task on stock rom that restores a nandroid backup of backup1 (cyanogenmod) and a task in cyanogenmod that restores a nandroid backup2 (stock rom).
that way you can toggle between the two roms easily and their backups will always be updated.
Then if you have an HTC One or a Galaxy S4 (or any device for that matter) you can toggle between stock rom and AOSP rom.
Can anyone guide me to making this happen?

I am running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on the Infuse 4g and was wondering since it has a similar build to MIUI, if i can create nandroid backups of both and restore them interchangeably. So, since I am running cm7, i would create a nandroid backup then flash MIUI. I would install apps and customize it to the way i want, then create a nandroid backup. Would I be able to go between the two whenever I want after that?
I have an almost stock skyrocket that is rooted. I also have the paid version of titanium backup on it, but i'm not really sure how to use most of it except to backup and freeze apps. I want to flash a few ice cream roms, but I was wondering if anyone could coach me or point me to a page on how to completely backup and restore my device in case I need or want to return it back to stock. Thanks for any help.

Go into clockworkmod and choose backup and restore. Backup. You will have a full backup of your apps and your stock rom. If you ever need to revert, go back into clockworkmod, do a superwipe, and then restore the backup.

First get rom manager, then i believe through rom manager you can install clockworkmods touch recovery. Then boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, which I think is the best way to do a full backup of your phone.
Titanium backup is great but you may find when doing batch backups of apps that you'll run into errors when switching between different roms.
I find using titanium to backup my app data only and just reinstalling apps from the play store (just go down the my apps list to reinstall your apps) to be the best way to avoid force closes. Then you can just restore your app data in titanium.
(do a search for more details on clockworkmod)
Nandroid backups done with CWM do not back up the radio IIRC. If you want to be able to return to your current ROM I suggest:
1. Make sure you know how to install the stock ROM you are currently running with Odin.
2. Make sure you have the stock rom files you need to do step 1.
3. Backup your current setup with CWM.
Try ICS as much as you like.
If you want to revert then Odin the stock rom you are using now, Odin CWM, boot into recovery and restore the backup you made. This will make sure everything is back to what you have now.
I've only used Titanium Backup to restore Nova Launcher after flashing a new ROM (Play Store downloads all the apps) and restoring Nova Launcher neatly flings all those apps back into the proper folders.
I can't comment on TiBu, but using when using nandroid via CWM as suggested it helps to have separate backups of call logs, contacts and messaging to restore.
Hello, and thank you for reading.
I'm a newbie when it comes to ROM's and all concerning them.
So I've been running the latest version of TrickDroid for quite a while now but would like to try some AOSP ROM's also (Liquid/CM/etc.).
As it might happen that I don't like them or I wanted to try an unstable ROM (for testing JB), how could I easily switch back to TrickDroid?
Is there such a thing as multi-boot or anyhting similar?
Should I take a full back with TWRP or what?
And can I have the same apps working with same system/app data on different ROM's; if I restore a full TB it should work fine, right?
Thank you very much.
No multi boot, but take a backup in TWRP and you're back to trickdroid quick enough if you restore it. I never tried restoring apps and appdata with TB as its not recommended especially when going to a ROM on another base like say from trickdroid to liquid or CM. Also stuff like SMS and call logs are tricky since the HTC mms and dialer are not available on AOSP roms so nowhere to restore appdata to.
So other apps should be fine except SMS and call logs?
But shouldn't 'SMS Backup & Restore' be able to put your messages into any ROM no matter what it's based on?

I use titanium backup to restore APPS + DATA on every rom and it has never failed me once.
It even works when jumping between all types of roms i've installed, including: CM, AOSP, sense based and MIUI.
My procedure is always.
1. Make a full backup in TWRP
2. use SMS Backup & Restore for my messages
3. use titanium backup > click batch selection > select Backup all new user apps & newer versions
4. still in Titanium batch selection > select Redo backups for modified data
This way you are straight back to the way you had everything, no matter what rom your on. you only have to redo your home screen
Tb can backup and restore user apps on any Rom.
But you cannot restore system apps between sense and asop
User apps are only downloaded apps so you can restore anywhere even on different phones
You could also if your using a diff launcher back it up and restore it then u won't even have to set up your homescreens.
Hope that clears it up.

you could also use ROM manager or Goo manager BETA.. those two apps are available in play store and you can flash ROMs directly from there
What is the best way to switch between different ROM's?
For example, I want to switch between:
* Stock ROM (I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.rar)
* BeanStalk ROM (BeanStalk-4.4.4065-20140918-infuse4g.zip)
The main problem, that I see, is different partition layout. in those ROM's. And I don't know any other way, but repeat installation of BeanStalk 3 times (just to install it), run its Recovery to restore its backup and then, when I want to switch back to stock ROM, I have to unbrick the phone with Odin3 (it restores old Recovery) and use its old Recovery to restore ROM's backup. Unfortunately there are 2 different CWM Recoveries involved (v2.5.1.3 - "red" and v6.0.5.1 - "blue"), that use different formats and it looks like they can't restore other backups correctly...
Is there a one stable Recovery that could do the job by simply making backups and restore old ROM's when I need it?
Thank you in advance
Can someone tell please tell me that.......
can i restore only data from twrp of one rom to another of same android.....
As an example
i had installed ressurection remix rom(first rom) and i wanna install CM 13(second rom) both are android 6.0....
now i want to restore the data backup from first rom (not system,recovery or anything else ) to another rom......
will it work properly if i use same data from first rom to second rom..........
please help.....
thanks in advance.....:fingers-crossed:
Data include your apps, so if they include system apps like messaging applications, there are chances it breaks, since AOSP and CM are not the same.
You could give it a try, but beware. You should take another option (save sms/mms with an app, system apps data and apps with titanium backup, and so on.
I guess that it's longer than simple restore but also safer.
