Hey everyone,
I've recently had to reflash my phone twice because touch would stop responding in system (it would work in recovery). I am wondering if it's possible to create a nandroid backup of my whole system + settings & data, so if it happens again that I can just restore it to that backup? It gets frustrating to install all the apps all over again and to change settings.
Basically, I want to save/backup the current state of my phone so I can restore it later with the same data it has right now.

Hi.
I am looking for advise on Titanium Backup. Currently I backup all apps and data and when I install a new ROM I just do a full restore back over the top.
My question is - Does this potentially cause issues with the ROM and the apps?
The main items I am not keen to lose when restoring are contacts and SMS/MMS.
If it's possible to keep all account settings as well then that would be a bonus.
Yup. Your contact sms/mms will remain intact. Try performing batch restore.
So if I just do a batch restore of system data then that will pull in stuff like that?
Yes, but make sure to reboot after restore, n voila! everything is back to normal.
thank i will take a try,,, got the same issue......
I have few questions about backups:
Nandroid:
1) So when I restore from a nandroid backup what do I exactly restore. I restore the rom this means any .zip mods I installed are gone. Do I restore radio, kernel, firmware, hboot?
2) When I do nandroid backup what happens to applications and data?
Titanium
3) What exactly system data backup (batch) backups? If I want to backup my my settings and WI-fi pairings and sms and phone call history and maybe some other 2-3 little things. If I do system data backup I will backup these things but when I restore if my previous configurations had lots of bloatware would I get unwanted things on my new configuration and slow down my phone?
4) Backing all user apps backups only .apks it means it installs the applications again?
5)User apps+ data means it will reinstall the apps and include saves and settings and etc right?
6) I've heard when backing up apps it's better to skip data why?
Thank you!
1. If you restore a previous backup then your mods will be gone (if they were not in that backup). kernel & firmware restored; hboot & radio not.
2.They get backed up (but not the data from the SD Card - just internal memory).
3. What you select (in Batch you can select). You just delete bloatware using TB after restore.
4. Correct, for settings and data you need the APPS+DATA option
5. Right
6. To avoid any complication with newer/older firmware - I always restored with data, and had no issues.
Thank you!
I just didn't understand completly about nandroid backup and apps.
If I use my phone for 5 days and install 5 aps and do a backup then use it 6 more days and install 6 more aps. After I do a nandroid restore the 6 aps installed after backup are lost and from the 5 installed before backup the ones that are not on SD will be restored. Correct? And if this is correct the restored apps will be only apk or apk + data?

I have a Nexus 6P, rooted. Previous to Marshmallow I used to be able to restore my apps/data/settings pretty easily with Titanium, but now it's a pain. What I want is to be able to perform a clean image install when updates come out, then flash TWRP, install Titanium, restore my stuff, move on. But now it's a headache. If I try to restore any system data (call log, anything) Android starts force closing the associated app/service. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Why titanium if you have twrp :/ twrp can backup everything fine, faster and easier. Data, cache partitions thats it.
Hi, can we restore only user data/ app data from the backed up file from recovery. We are not looking to get the ROM restored.
For an example, I had a custom ROM and in order to install another custom ROM, I've backup the internal data + system. Now, on my new ROM i require the old apps and app data present. Since I have a backup file, is it possible to restore only app data from the file?
Note: Titanium backup works only on root.
Background story: Root attempt has soft bricked my phone multiple times using SU 2.46. Hence, I have completely refused Titanium backup for phone's sake.
Thanks in advance. :angel:
Hey!
Is there any data backup application which is able to restore system application data (settings data for example, default launcher and so on) without causing crash?
What's the difference between that and what TWRP does when restoring data partition?
It's been a while since I've used it but, Titanium Backup Pro used to be great for that. I would use it to backup apps and their data and restore the apps and data from backup. It was great for when an app would update and the update wouldn't work with root or whatever. It was great for restoring apps on an individual basis instead of everything.

If you change ROMs or switch from stock to a custom ROM, restoring system data will only cause issues. Restoring system data usually only works properly when restoring data in the same ROM you were using when the backup was created or when restoring data in an updated version of the ROM you had when the backup was created. Restoring system data from a ROM other than the ROM in which it was created causes issues such as freezing and glitching.
