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.

if you made a nand backup you can go back. Back up your apps again and flash again. Did you do a full wipe while changing roms?

What I do in titanium back up is:
batch back up all my user apps.
Then I manually back up all the green system apps
if you wan't to be 100% sure
back up your contacts the regular way
back up your sms the regular way
full wipe
flash new rom
download titanium back up
batch restore all apps
reboot
what am I getting "com.android.phone has stopped" endless loop
I have a similar issue with the phone app force closing endlessly upon boot up. I can't figure out why, and I'd love any insight as to what might be causing this. If I open the phone app, it will temporarily stop the force close. Another weird side effect is all of the apps are wiped from my home screen as well?
What I've tried:
- wiping user data
- wiping dalvik cache
- wiping partition cache
- fixing permissions
- re-installing the ROM
- I haven't tried re-flashing the bootloader, but should that even matter?
I'm running Virtuous Inquisition ROM on a Sensation Z710e with the latest Bootloader. Haven't seen any other Inquisition users with a similar issue, so I'm assuming it's not a bug with the ROM.
Any suggestions, or a good starting place to look for answers would be great.
Thanks.
Hi there. I currently am running the Legend 2 ICS Edition ROM for Infuse 4G. I just noticed there is a new update Legend 3 ICS. If I want to keep all my files and apps, do I just flash the Update file (instead of the Full Wipe file)? And do I need to go through the same process, clear cache, dalvik cache, etc.? Probably no need to wipe data and factory reset.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

I suggest do a full wipe, if you want to keep your app, "tibu" titanium backup is great and well worth app, buy it...I did and worth every dime. IMHO Tibu will and can backup your apps and restore them.
So I suggest get tibu, backup your apps, do a full wipe install Leg3 go back to Gplay download/install tibu back on, then use the program to restore your apps only in this case.
Plus tibu can do a full backup of your data & apps, say you find your DD but want to test other ROMs, use tibu to backup data & apps, go test the another ROM, and want to come back to your DD ROM, you can then do a full data & app restore...plus there are lots of YouTube vid on Titanium Backup app.

You can do the update and keep your files, which is the reason for the update. Though, like Bigjoe says, a full wipe is always prefered, but not necessary.

The reason why everyone suggests a full wipe is so that you dont potentially run into any problems after the flash. ie flash not working, or camera wont load... little things like that that make it hard to narrow down problems. One of the main things people are going to ask is did you wipe before you installed? It helps to eliminate and remnants of left over roms so that you dont have any issues with the new rom. Its called a Bad flash.
I hope i answered your question!
Thanks for all the replies! So whether it is the full wipe ROM or the update ROM, both go through the same procedure of booting into CWM first? I will try Tibu for app backup! :good:
Stuck at blue loading loop
Hey, I am new so bare with me, I just flashed this rom onto my Infuse 4g and it seems to be restarting itself and looping to the Blue Android/Dust loading screen. It seems to fix with a fresh install of the rom, but shortly starts after everything seems fine. Please help!

Try doing an odin or hemdall back to stock with partitioning, then flash the full wipe rom.

So I've been using your latest release (full wipe Legend v3) and I did factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, etc. The phone is occasionally laggy now, usually when I open web browser it would stay on the white screen a several seconds. Sometimes, when I open my phone, it would stay on the black screen even though I never turned it off and it still has battery. So I had to long-press the button to restart. I've already rebooted and shut down numerous times but these problems still persist.
Also, bluetooth doesn't work for me. When I enable it from settings, the "Turn bluetooth on" checkbox stays unchecked and does nothing.
Should I reflash again? I did to a Titanium Backup to restore apps and settings... Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
turkish ?
i wonder if turkish is included or not ?

With any rom, you should be able to install More Locale 2 from the Play Store to get support for Turkish (and many other languages).

My bet is the tibu restore of your settings is what is causing the issues, I've had problems and have known others that had problems when restoring system settings with tibu, especially if the tibu backups were done on another rom.

I only started using tibu when I had Legend ICS v2 and then I immediately upgraded to v3 using the full wipe ROM. And then I restored all apps and settings. I'll try wipe and re-flash without restoring any settings in tibu. But honestly, I only wanted to backup my widget and screen settings (such as app shortcuts on home screens) but tibu didn't back that up.

I would try reflashing to stock, then reflashing the rom again, are you converting to ext4 at all or just using rfs?

I'm a noob so I don't know what those are. :laugh: But I've only flashed ZEUS final and then Legend ICS v2 and v3. Full wiped and cleared cache on all those flashes.
I've reflashed to stock and then back to Legend 3 without restoring anything. It is all better now, very snappy. The bluetooth can be turned on now but for some reason, it doesn't detect my Jabra headset no matter how many times I scan. But it detects my Macbook Pro...
From past 15-20 days I'm facing hanging problem. This happens when I switch on the data on or connects to wifi. As soon as I connects to wifi or data mobile starts hanging due to notifications of apps for eg. Whatsapp Gmail. Sometimes Mobile gets hang when you switch in between multiple apps. It doesn't really matter which rom I'm using. I tried 8-9 different roms since last 15-20 days. well let me give you some extra info about my moto G3. My current recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-r1 current rom is ported Stock nougat 7.1.1 by althafvly. Every time I flash new rom I restore backup from titanium backup app which is taken on previous rom. I take batch backup of almost 45-50 apps and restore them. Is this problem due to my backup process? It's been 1.5 years using this device. Flashing custom roms since 1 year. If anyone is facing same issue or you know the reason behind this, let me know in reply. Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad English.
Uh, if you are using TBP to restore stuff across different ROMs, you must have quite a confused build. At the very least, if you must use TBP across builds, restore the apps but NOT the data.

Basically restore only apk and not apk+data.
Ok !! I got it. Is there any another way to restore apps + data without using TBP which creates such a confusing build?

There are lots of ways to restore apk+data, but that is the problem - the app data has stuff in it that (now) refers to many different roms. Unfortunately:
a) when you jump ROMs, or
b) when you are having a problem
You need to restore w/o data and restart the apps. You could try going to apps and clicking storage and clearing cache and data for each one, since maybe you have an idea as to a few that might be causing it. Trial and guess...
You could also nandroid what you have and then wipe and flash a new basic rom with no modifications and test there to see if prob goes away. No one that I have heard of is having the problem.

Ok. Thank you very much for answer. Now i got the clear picture of impact of restoring app+data on new rom. I will try few different methods. And will let you know soon.
Hi, i was messing around with my root for a while the other day and basically my phone seemed ok for a day or two then today i tried to open the built in file manager and my phone turned off and will only bootloop into twrp.
i noticed a lot of apps playing up, like Ebay would open and crash instantly and so would lots of other apps.
question is, is there possible fixes you know of? i have lots of data that i need with no backup and its not just files
if i flash my stock rom in TWRP without wiping data would i possibly be able to get access again or does flashing stock automatically wipe the data?
if there is no fix is there anyway i can find out a list of my installed apps via TWRP?
thanks

Flashing stock does not wipe data. First try just installing magisk in twrp and reboot.
