Hello, i did full back up of my apps and their data before installing a new rom... and copied the data to my pc and then after installing the new rom
" Gnabo v4 " i copied the user_apps and app_data folders and i was only able to restore my apps without DATA ( my saved games and other stuff)
So please can anyone help to fix this ? or is there any other app that read the files (.tar.gz ) in app_data and help me restore them or a way ??
Thank you very much

I am running the FRG01B build that was manually updated and am rooted with rom manager. I want to install a new rom using rom manager so I can overclock my phone but really do not want to lose my data/apps or have to redownload the apps (I have 209 apps installed). I have MyBackUp Pro and tried to backup everything on the phone but after it has shown "backing up apps" and it is trying to upload my apps to the online servers I am always getting an error. Here is my question: If I don't wipe data when installing a new rom, will it work and if not what will happen? Basically what I want is to install a new rom and after everything installs, my phone is the exact same except the rom itself (app shortcuts are in the same place, ect. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Hi ,
I just came from iPhone to android , and knowing that a complete dedicated backup manager like itunes for iphone doesn't exist for android b'coz of its cloud approach .
I then came by some software solutions , but am confused which is the best to use .
Can someone shed some light on what the below softwares do & which one is the best :
1. Titanium Backup
2. MyBackup Pro
3. nandroid
FYI i have a galaxy S2 ( 16GB ) without an SD card and am rooted on 2.3.5 .
Please explain what each one does .
Also , are there any desktop based solution (like itunes for iphone ) for android backup .??
Please reply ...
From the Titanium Backup wiki

1. What can Titanium Backup back up ?
- All the applications you have installed, included protected ones,
- All the data and settings of these applications,
- Most (nearly all) of your phone's settings and data.
- Titanium Backup 3.8.0+ will also backup the system applications from your ROM, not just their settings and data.

This is the only program that I've used from your list but never try a complete backup ,only some programs.
I don't know very well how Itunes make backup but Titanium Backup is one of the most widely used on Android.
Hi everybody,
In the cyanogenmod 9 v4.0.3 v1.1 thread, the OP says "Do not recover a backup over this ROM. In case you do ROM will fail and you will have repeated apps...". I was wondering if he's talking about the non system apps .apk or only the data of them. I'm asking this question to know if I can restore my apps with Titanium Backup after have installed this ROM or if I will have to dowload them again in the market and lost all my data.
Thx for the help and sorry if it's a noob question, first post anyway thx for the help
I have never run into any problems restoring app data only on downloaded apps. I avoid restoring the full apps via TB if I can. The only system data I restore is my WiFi access points.

thx I can wait to flash this awesome ROM
I moved from CM7 to CM9 with clean install + restoring apps/data from Titanium Backup. Some data got lost like sms or wifi accesspoints but I can live with it.
I have already Searched this but dint get satisfied answers....
I am Using Sense5 Rom(EXDERIOD) and installed about 30 apps and has System Data i.e contacts n msgs ,fnds stream and calendar sync..
Here is the Problem..Now it's not working properly(All my apps are force closing and Not letting me to install new apps Especially WATSPP IS FORCE CLOSING showing error "UNABLE TO OPEN MESSAGE HISTORY") after i tried some mods n flashed some extra stuff...
So I want to flash the SAME ROM again but without losing DATA sply System data... I know I can use Titanium for apps+data and MyBackUp Pro for CONTACTS & MSGS ...I used to do that whenever I Flash a New ROM ..
But Main Prob is ...CONTACTS (I Know GOOGLE give Backup but I linked all the contacts with fb and watsapp..and put images as caller IDs so if I get a Backup from GooGle or anyother app it gives only contacts and i have to linkup and do setup everything again)
I flashed only boot.img with fastboot lost all the data and also flashed ROM again giving bootloops and sometimes lost the data..
So any suggestions ??? or any Ideas???:silly:

Download Nandroid manger. it have feature to restore user as well as system app+data from nandroid backup. give it try.:fingers-crossed:
hi all,
we have rooted apps where by we can backup different partition , ( eg , /user /system / recovery )
my question is if i have a phone say phone wtih stock rooted rom and i backed up its /user partition ( which have all the apps data ) and then full wipe the phone install a new custom rom and then i copy via root browser /user partition details back on new rom ( which was actually extrated from Stock rooted rom )
will i get the same state of apps on new custom rom as it was before i formatted ( full wipe ) the old rom ( stock rooted rom )
WHy i want to do it , is as follow s
i have stock rooted rom with call and SMS records since i started the phone 8 months back i dont want to loose all those details ( SMS and Call records ) i know there are apps to back and restore this info (smsbackup etc ) , but i just wanna do it my way not using any 3rd party app and command prompt or root browser
devs or any one who have knowledge about this please advise if its doable or not , so that i can initiate the testing at my won , i am also interested to write a script for same via adb what are my chances for doing so.
Depends on the rom. If it's stock based, then maybe. Otherwise no. Reason for this is that data and settings for system apps is in that partition too.
It's better to backup apps and userdata with titanium or similar, and then restore on a new rom.
We don't want bootloop and fc's

Data saved from one ROM usually causes conflicts when restoring that data in another ROM. You can't just pull the whole /data partition from one ROM and then push the whole partition to another ROM, it doesn't work that way.
Instead of doing what you're asking about. Use Titanium Backup to backup your user apps and app data, then flash your ROM then use Titanium Backup to restore the user apps and app data that you backed up.
This is the method used by most android users.
There is also the "adb backup" method of backing up data and restoring it. It should work to backup user apps and app data and restoring those apps and app data.
There is no purpose to trying the way you're trying, you'll just make a mess and much better and safer methods already exist.
Why ask the smart people for a different way when the way I described is how the smart people do it? If another way was better then that is how they would be doing it. What I posted are the best methods, use them, they work very well.

Android doesn't like it's partitions messed with too much and it doesn't like things that are from a different OS or even a different android version sometimes. Mixing data can cause issues, even the safe way of backing up and restoring doesn't always work.
