I would make an update.zip file with all the apps (Just apps not data) and attempt to flash it once I flash my new ROM. Unfortunately when attempting to flash the apps rendered by Titanium Back I get an error called "error: sysnamaps" or something like that. Any ideas how to properly get this working?

Did you include system apps in your backup? There's a bug in titanium backup where you can't backup system apps.

Possibly, I'll try that out! Thanks a lot!
If i m using link2sd for linking apps to sd card will installation of this update.zip move apps to my sd card or it will simply install on my internal memory?

Hmm, apps are stored in the data portion of the backup. Where do you install your apps? To SDcard or to the phone's internal storage? If you're not installing them to the internal storage I'm not sure where they would be or whether they're being backed up at all.
If you're not installing them to the SD card, try this. Do your restore then reboot then go back into recovery and do an advanced restore and just do /Data.
When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

Hello everyone, I restored the first backup of my LG-P999 through cwm to stock. I had already installed titanium backup after rooting my phone and before flashing roms. And now that I am back on this stock rom none of the apps i used to have running cm7 will show up in titanium backup. Is there a folder I could extract from my cm7 backup to get them all back? Also just curious because I will be getting a new phone soon and how I am going to get all my apps back.
Thanks in advance

In titanium under preferences go to backup folder location it has an option to automatically locate a backup folder or if you know where it is you can find it. Cm7 uses sdcard as primary storage, stock uses internal so it confuses titanium.

Hi, I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 with the latest cwm installed (6.0.4.3).
I've made multiple nandroid backups before and restored them perfectly fine, but it seems that recently,
1) When I try to backup using the rom manager app, my S3 boots into recovery, but then cwm says:
*date*
E: unknown volume for path [/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/*the name of the backup*]
Can't mount backup path.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
This has been going on for a while, even after the app updated to its newest version (5.5.2.8).
2) When I try to restore a backup, it restores all the way until half of the data is restored. Then it shows:
Restoring data...
Error while restoring /data!
I've tried advanced restore, and only restoring data, but that doesn't work either.
Are these simply all of the app's errors? Or are they something more complicated? Thanks!

It has something to do with the folders it's trying to restore. You're on a 4.2 rom, so if you really want to get it to work then moving your backups, formatting your SD card, and moving them back on will probably get them to restore properly.
Also I wouldn't use rom manager to make backups, try doing it manually and see if you can get it to backup to the internal or external SD card.

Flashing ftf is a must after unlocking, but is there a way to preserve data ? I mean my phone will not get wipe
Sent from my C2105 using xda app-developers app
Try not to wipe cache and user data when flashing through Flashtool.
If you can't boot to system without wiping userdata, the best way is backup via Titanium Backup before unlocking bootloader.
If I'm not wrong, Internal SD wouldn't get wiped, only /data partition. But it's better to take backup of your Internal SD first.

I don't get what you mean about the "data" :|
Is it Contact, SMS, etc? Backup using My Backup/ My Backup Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup
App & Game? Backup using Titanium Backup

Ahh I see..
For system app backup, you need to restore it manually one by one, don't use batch action.
FC is normal for restoring system app, but after reboot, FC is gone.
If you want to move updated app from /data to /system partition.
You can use Batch action "Integrate update of system apps into ROM"
Again, it's normal if FC happen, just reboot your phone after finished integrating the update.
