How to properly backup my android device?
Since I just got stuck with a broken nightly on cyanogenmod I wanted to ask for a solid way to backup the system, apps and all settings of my device (which is a HTC one S ville).
I thought about backing up my cyanogenmod system with TWRP and everything else with Titanium backup.
What do you guys think about it?
Data is secondary since I use dropbox, firefox sync and so on for my data which means, my data is stored.
thanks for your help

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Since you forgot to mention which device you have, we can't point you towards any specific support area, but in general the best way to make a full complete backup is from a custom recovery such as TWRP. Titanium Backup is indeed a dependable way of backing system and user apps with their data. If you need more information, you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where other members will be able to reply and assist you.
Good luck!

I have added the relevant information: HTC One S (ville)
The full complete backup from TWRP does not include Apps does it? Furthermore how could it backup if more than half of the internal storage is in use?

Hello again.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist, but there is an XDA area dedicated to the HTC One S at http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s and specifically a Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/help. A full nandroid backup from TWRP includes all the partitions you select, including all system and user apps not stored on an SD card or other external location. The backups can reside in most any location you choose that TWRP can reach, including external SD card, OTG drives, etc. For more details, ask in your device's support area.
Once again, good luck!

I use CyanogenMod without GApps, and Titanium Backup for backup/restore. Never had a problem with it until now.
Today I tried to migrate from CM11 on one phone to CM11 on another, and my contacts restore is behaving really strange. A few factors made me post here first:
A lot of people are only used to android with GApps, or backup via Google. So replies are often distracted by advice to use Google, or people questioning if Android can work without GApps.
The issue to focus on isn't clear - is it CM, Titanium, or Android basic structures (profiles? accounts?) that's responsible? Should I use a phone-related forum for it?
Any tips where to ask, ideally with likely high quality answers :laugh: , would be much appreciated!

Hi all,
I need to know where each application data usage are monitored in android.
I am planning to hack(ethically) by having tie up with that application team.
For that I need this information,
I am able to see UI of each app usage in settings
Watsapp - 2mb
Hike - 5 mb etc
But I need the file where this data are stored.
And is there way to edit that file in rooted mobile.
I don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question but I am sure there are lot of
Brainees are there here.
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Android 5.0.2, rooted through Clockworkmod. I have Titanium Backup synced to my Dropbox and a Nandroid image.
I deleted the default download manager (stupidly on my Titanium Backup as well) to free up space, necessary despite having 100's of megs to spare - i think this will fix that.
I've done a factory reset, but no luck. All my apps are wiped, including Titanium Backup and Nandroid (which i don't know how to restore to anyway).
Download Manager isn't visible in APKmirror's bundle of google APK's. Is it packaged with something else?
Will i be able to run the APK when i do find it?

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
A custom ROM probably isn't going to fix any internal storage issue. Unless your stock ROM has a lot of bloatware, a custom ROM could make it worse with the GApps package. Better off removing the updates to any bloatware APK's (thus taking them off internal storage) and then freezing/disabling/quarantining them (hopefully from future updates).
But to do all that, you will still need root.

Hi Joel
Thanks for your quick reply.
My ROM has a lot of bloatware installed. I have tried to root it with Power SU but I am not able to un-install those bloatware apps.
You are correct with custom ROM I can face issue with the GApps. Which I am facing with my another mobile Samsung Galaxy Fit GT-S5670.
My Tablet is not allowing me to installed any app due to those bloatware.
Thanks

Hello again,
Not sure if the problem you are facing is PowerSU not rooting the device, or that you have root, and the apps still cannot be disabled.
If it's the latter, Titanium Backup Pro can freeze them (or on the free side, there is "Disable Application").
If it's the former, finding a working rooting tool can be a hassle, but this page can give you a start as to which ones to try.
Unfortunately, that's all I can think of. If you need more help, I would check out and use the thread links posted earlier, as other people will have different experience on what works and what doesn't (especially for those who have your device or something like it).
Good luck!
