I think Paul O'Brien from Modaco was already testing some early builds of TWRP, but I'm not reall sure right now.
You can still make backups with ADB. They're a bit different, but at least, you have a backup.

I downloaded this app and did a nandroid, which took FOREVER, but at least now I'm safe, should I ever need a backup, right? Because I'm on verizon with the moto g so there's no custom recoveries that I know of… barely have root!
So, I'm safe right?

Hey guys. A question for you. I'm coming from galaxy s. I'm no noob. With the sgs you could restore your backup in clockwork if you screwed up. Can't you do this with o3d (reading about people bricking their device) . If not, what's the point with a backup?

Where did you hear the backups aren't working?
Works fine, no bricks. I used the backups a lot when I'm tweaking my phone.
I believe the people who were getting bricked phones from cwm are just using a different recovery. Something like thrill using Optimus 3D's recovery

Most users don't have a bricking problem. Yea CWM works like its supposed to. For example, yesterday, I was changing build.prop. Caused a boot loop. Pulled battery, Went to recovery, restored backup.
Never bricked my phone, but there are many reasons for bricking, you'll be fine.

hey just out of curosity what are the most common ways to brick the LG? just want a heads up on what to avoid doing, because i bought my lg 3d from a friend already rooted cwm and aura rom. Just wondering if i wanted to go back to like rogers stock what would i have to do?
The "bricking" with CWM is caused when you update the system with an LG Rom via OTA or Web Updater and you have the CWM recovery partition instead of the LG original one.
If you install the same ROM from a zip via CWM backup recovery it works like a charm.

Hi, recently I've installed a rom,
and now I have 2.5 gb less than before in the sd-card.
When I install a rom, where does it put it ?
I have less space now and it's bothered me :X
(I removed the zip file of the rom from the sd-card).
Ohh and I installed TWRP, but replaced it with CWM. Maybe the TWRP is still on my sd-card and take space?

If i'm not mistaken, there should be a CWM recovery to resize your cache partition. Of course, your device should be rooted.

Could be your nandroid backup. Or just repartition through recovery. Make sure to backup first.

you SHOULD know that when you are using cwm recovery, you are tamping with your device, and if it goes wrong it could or could not be fixed.

I'm on leeedroid v2.1 and didn't loose any space from when I was on stock strange.... Try leedroids Rom when he gets the update

@LalyGirl, The ROM should be in the system partition. If you have Titanium backup it should tell you the break down of of internal storage, sdcard ect..
or get "Quick System Info" app.
As for recovery, if you flashed CWM it is written to the recovery partition so it will overwrite the TWRP you had.

easiest is to just flash synergy. it backs it up for you without doing anything and, in my opinion, an awesome rom to try first anyways
I don't believe restoring your nandroid will fix your imei. You should backup using qpst and also with the flashable zip that synergy has now implemented to be safe
synergy made a script you can flash in cwm to back it up but it's not proven to restore yet since no one has had to

Isn't there a way to also back up using terminal emulator right on your device? I believe the file gets back up right on your SD card and then you can restore from there....

That backs up your EFS partition, block or what ever you want to call it. Restoring that will allow you to get data back but you will always be roaming. I have backed up my EFS, backed up using QPST and did the manual way of backing up Synergy style. You can never be too safe. Synergy is a nice rom but if you don't want to flash it there is directions on how to pull the info that the Synergy script does.

Thanks for the info.
So if you just root and unlock there is nothing to worry about with this I assume? Also, TW ICS Roms should be safe? Is it just when flashing an JB ROM this issue can arise?
Just rooting and unlocking you should be fine. Flashing any ROM has the possibility of losing your IMEI but it seems more prevalent on AOSP ROMs.

Moral of the story is even if you back up your imei your probably gonna be stuck on roaming forever.

So what's the point of backing it up if you lose it and restore it you are still stuck with a roaming device. And not functioning how it should be stock.

I think it shows an R for roaming but you are actually not roaming. So your device supposedly is working, just has a graphical glitch. At least the device works I guess but still sucks and would send back for another one anyway.
Wonder why if this gets screwed they make it impossible to recover from. Even if you bring it to Verizon they can't do anything about it?
If this happens and you have insurance. You 'lost your phone' and get a new one haha

accordinf with many feedback CMW seems more stable...thank you.
From what I know with d2vzw: Either TWRP or CWM can be used. However, the backups are not interchangeable. And some flash zips may not work with one or the other; hench require one to work. The Dev will state as such.

The backups are not interchangeable and that part about CWM being more stable is bull...

It works as good as CWM, it's just a matter of taste, I like TWRP's design more.

Use Titanium Backup
i USe Go Backup Pro. U can Go a Backup direct to ur Dropbox... Very nice.
Personally I use MyBackup Root. It's free and if you're rooted (you are if you're flashing ROMs) it works perfect to backup / restore apps and app data.
i use titanium backup too..
but, wht abt nandroid backup?

One thing to keep in mind., backing up the apps will not work when going from 4.1.2 to say 4.3 or 4.3 to 4.4. It will be messy. You would be better off installing from play store or Gapps for that version. Should work fine if the rom is the same base version though. Good luck.

I have not found this to be true.
I restored apps from my Nexus 4 (with data) from 4.3 to my Nexus 5 on 4.4 and everything came out fine.
Using Titanium Backup or MyBackup it basically installs the market APK same as if you installed it from the market.
Gapps yeah you need the right version.
I'm on 4.4 rom and going to a 4.4 rom I just have alot of apps I like and such. I would like them to stay I stalled.

I am agree with majority answers…
Titanium backup pro is best app for backup (with data)
Twrp is better than cwmr in terms of functionality and nandroid backup size
If you like to backup only application (no data) you should go with myapp sharer application.
