Hey guys quick question, is it a bad idea to do a app+data backup of my apps using TB on 4.4.4 ROM and firmware and then upgrading firmware+ROM to 5.0.1 and then restoring my apps+data? If it makes any difference I'd be going from CleanROM 3.0 to CleanROM 4.0 with a full wipe. All feedback is welcome and appreciated, thanks!

It's hit and miss. I let apps reinstall from the store and then only install Data to the one's that really need it. LP may have a different directory structure than KK. I attempt to do App + Data restores for those that are missing but find Data does not alaways work. I then have to back and redo Data. The apps highlighted in green and yellow are usually safe to restore and contain Data (settings) from System apps. That normally works to restore BT, WiFi, Accounts, messages, and call logs, etc.
Others swear by MyBackupPro and Ultimate Backup. I am just used to TiBU. If an app has its own backup, I always try to use that. One thing for sure, it is absolute PIA.

Hi people,
I recently flashed CM7 for LG Optimus One onto my phone from stock rom. Before I did that, I did a Titanium Backup backup of all my apps and data. I did not like CM7 so I used KDZ to revert back to stock rom. Now I am trying to restore my apps and data, restoring apps went well but when I try to restore data, it keeps giving the message that data restore failed. My contacts and messages and app history is all gone. How can I fix this? I've already read other threads for help but to no avail.
Data restore failed
I'm having the same issue. Just had to replace my Motorola Xoom tablet, and even though I'm using the same version of the OS, my apps all restore, but data fails on every one of them. HELP!!!
New version 3.8.5.2 was released a little while ago.
I could restore data by it.
Me wrong, I misunderstood the issue
Titanium backup, despite his name, doesn't work for me really well on backup app and data (just thinking that on my SE Arc, it doesn't save native apps but only their data)
Experiencing the same problem after upgrading from Gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 on the same device. It's always worked perfectly for me so I'm gutted it's failing.
Could someone contact the developer? I went to their website but don't know how.
Woots new titanium backup version just released on android market go download apparently changelog says that it fixes the issue!
Thanks wa2c for pointing it out!
I can confirm that the problem is fixed (for me at least (Epic 4g))
FIXED!!
WOW! A HUGE thank you to the developer....they got RIGHT on this. The update this morning fixed my problems!
I'm gonna leave a great review (TB is my "life-saving" app).

LOL, this was a really annoying bug. Tnx. for quick fix.
Hi all.
Sorry for a noob question.
I wonder about the correct restore procedure after flashing new ROMs...
Is it safe to restore everything (thinking of apps+data, system settings, desktop etc) using either Titanium or MyBackup? Or are there some burried negatives which should be paid attention to?
Thx.
If you're flashing a different ROM than before then you probably shouldn't recover the system data, just apps and user data

Better restore just apps, NOT data, these can make you get AOS Bug..
OK, but what about for example setting up the desktop?
Setting up the desktop takes time every time you flash a new ROM. Is there a workaround...?

I never heard of AOS bug (might be a device-specific one & not related to the devices I have), but what would be the point of backing up your data if there was no way to restore it? It is perfectly OK to restore your apps and their data. It's also OK to restore system data if you're not switching ROMs.
I personally never had any problems migrating my apps + data back and forth between Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs.
After flashing between multiple ROMs yesterday, restoring all app+data, I never noticed any problems. Any search I do for an AOS bug comes back showing it caused by 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. So I imagine that if you're flashing ROMs and restoring on Froyo or below you won't have an issue.

All right then... I will go with that it is safe to restore - at least if not switching ROMs... I think it will end up with some testing
Thx
Ok I have not done anything but root and unlock my infuse.
I am thinking about installing Infused 2.1.0.
I have not backed up anything, but there are apps that I want to keep that have been taken out of the stock.
If I restore missing apps with data, will that keep all of the apps I have? Im just wondering what the difference is between restore missing apps and back up all user apps?
Also, it is my understanding that the ROM extends the battery time. Is this true?
Sorry for being a pesky n00b

When you restore ,just restore apps. Don't restore data. The data might cause a conflict.

this isn't true - it isn't going to cause any conflicts with "missing apps" that are being freshly installed to your phone on a new ROM (i.e., not replacing another version of that app).
the only thing that you really need to avoid is restoring system data of any kind. that will cause conflicts with your phone, SMS, e-mail, etc. restoring "missing apps" should work just fine, even if you want to restore the data also.
as for battery life - yes, custom ROMs tend to get better battery life than stock froyo does.
good luck, and remember - you can always revert to stock froyo!
I'm about to install Android Revolution HD™ 3.x XE but my question is I'd like to back up my phone and apps with titanium backup and restore my phone after installing the ROM
Now I know I need to use superwipe but buy restoring everything after am I defeating the purpose of using superwipe?
I dont want to be restoring old files I may not need or could cause problems
Thanks In advance
Although I don't have a firm answer to your question, I would advise you against doing a full restore (system data and everything). I've had numerous problems such as my lock screen PIN code changing after a reboot (preventing me from logging into the phone).

I backed up using Titanium then used superwipe, after I had flashed the rom and restarted the phone all my apps automatically reinstalled. I am a noob so I am not sure how or why this would have happened. I would add that everything went very smoothly for me and the phone is running very well, absolutely no problems and I am very new to this rooting game. This website and the developers that are on it are both fantastic, a big well done to all concerned.
I just flashed arhd and restored "all apps with data" with titanium backup. everything seems to be running smoothly
Thanks for the replys, I'll probably Flash the new ROM at the weekend

Mine did the same thing. They reinstalled (most of them anyway) because google kept a record of what I had loaded from the market. The only thing is because they were reinstalled automatically the market doesn't give me the option of removing them. Is yours the same?
On a side note a while ago when I first used LeeDroids rom I used titanium backup to reinstall my apps and data. When picked my phone up the next morning (it was plugged in all night) it was red hot where something was loading the cpu up. I reinstalled the whole thing a couple more times before I realised it was either an app or the process or reinstalling them on a different rom with Titanium that was causing the load. Now I use mybackup pro and just keep my data and install the apps separately.

Just dont restore your system data as it may cause problem, only back up and restore user Apps...
Contact and SMS can be easily backed up via People and Message options.

I just used superwipe after a Ti Backup and installed ARHD and now can't restore anything on my s3
For those that are testing roms,how do you back up your installed apps/data to load to the new rom and get up and running quickly? I have 80+ apps that I really hate to have to reinstall or have progress reset every time I try a new rom. I have TB but have seen mixed reviews here on its results. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I have already read the threads how to backup existing setup in case something goes wrong.

Make a CWM backup. Install new ROM, then go to Backup and Restore, go to advanced restore, then select the backup you made, and select restore data. That will bring back all of your apps/setting and such.

Thank you. I thought cwm was only to put back to the way I started like a windows image file.

I apologize, I misunderstood your question......
I used CWM when I went from stock rooted 2.3.5 to stock rooted 2.3.6 to restore all my apps. I'd imagine there could be some issues if you used CWM in the same manner when going from stock rom to say RebelROM so for that I'd use MyBackup. I prefer it over TB any day. So use MB to make your backup of your apps (apk's and data) before flashing the new rom, flash the new rom and then once you get MB on your phone again use it to restore the apps, apk's first then data after all the apk's have been restored.
Sorry for the confusion
I use Rom Toolbox...it works quite well

I just tested a theory i had and it worked flawlessly. I just flash supercharged v5 and before i did i just wiped cache and dalvix and formatted system, i did not do a factory data reset. I then flashed the rom and everything went flawlessly. I still have all my apps and data from before the flash.
