[Q] Superwipe and titanium backup and new ROM question

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

[Q] How to backup and restore privacy manager settings

I keep on updating my phone with the latest rom almost every other day and also I use the CM privacy manager a lot to control access as well as to prevent wakes and autostart.
But everytime i flash an update to my current ROM (i like to do a full wipe rather than dirty flash), I have to redo all the privacy settings. Is there a way these settings can be backed up and restored?

As the other guy said, just dirty flash, it's perfectly fine when you're just updating the same ROM.

What about
/data/system/appops.xml
Edit
No, that won't work

yeah...there might be some other way i think

I tried looking at titanium back up... That's when I decided to ask...

Yep... Dirty flash is a good option... But that won't work when I am installing other Roms.... Which I do quite often

Can I restore a TWRP backup of my /data partition to a different device?

Hello, I have a Oneplus One whose screen seems to be on the verge of death. The screen is constantly artifacting and flickering and turning off so much it's basically unusable. I was able to make a backup of the /data partition using TWRP recently before this occurred and I managed to pull my music and photos and other important files using ADB. I already performed a screen repair on this phone a while ago (likely the cause of the current issue) and I think I'm going to just get a new phone, likely the Oneplus X. Now I'm wondering if the backup of my /data partition from my OPO will restore nicely on a different device. If not, is there any way I can make a backup of my apps and app data on my OPO with only ADB and no root that will easily transfer to a different device?

You can make a data backup..but unless you install exact android version (e.g from 8.0 one plus one to 8.0 One plus x) on other phone you might face minor problems..
Or you can use pc software like mobogenie/moborobo to make your backup

Ok, in that case would you happen to know where I could find a build of CM13 (Android 6.0.1) for the OPX? If not, do you know if a build of stock Android 6.0.1 would still work? CM shutting down hasn't really made things easier, and Lineage OS doesn't host CM13 builds for the X.
My plan is to flash 6.0.1 to the X as well as root it so that I can backup all the apps using titanium backup, and then wipe the phone again and do a clean install of LineageOS and restore my apps.

I have no idea.. but you can google that...also check the one plus x thread
Recommend--The best option and easiest for you would be using an android desktop manager like moborobo/mobogenie... Give that a try..

Better use Titanium Backup. It's confirmed that it works

Any apps do an identical phone backup?

Can't find an answer to this but does Oneplus Switch do an identical phone backup? If not is there any other app that does?

Titanium Backup.

Root it and use TWRP recovery to have a full device backup. As to backing up your apps and their data, Titanium as previously mentioned it the correct answer....still requires root.

Switch does about 90-95% backup. You will still need to log into accounts and stuff. Some apps dont copy over for whatever reason. I even tried OP7 pro to OP7 pro with same results. Also all your settings will be stock settings. Yes use Titanium backup and or TWRP

Cheers for the replies. It's kinda crap that oneplus switch doesn't save phone & app settings etc. It should make an identical copy.
I have rooted before & backed up with TWRP but I don't know if your all aware that restoring from TWRP not only doesn't work it actually messes your phone up! I got stuck in a fastboot bootloop & had no option to restore the phone using msm on the pc

Switched from titanium to swift backup recently, works much better, full backups nightly kick off automatically.

Stops receiving or making calls

Having weird issues with a Pixel 3 were it will stop making or receiving calls. I can clear the cache and reboot and that often works but I am unsure how many calls I may have missed. Text still works the entire time. I am on the latest Android 11 build with an unlocked bootloader and magisk installed just the restore data with Titanium Backup from previous phone. Not a fan of all the stupidness that got changed/added with Android 12. Willing to try custom roms if that is the right direction. Any thoughts?

If you restored data from Titanium Backup, that may be your problem. Titanium Backup has not been updated for two years, and does not work well with newer versions of Android. The restore part caused the most problems. TB has pretty much been abandoned.

Thanks for the response. I noticed it had not been restoring apps for a while so I just resorted to restoring mostly game data with it. Wondering if I use Easy Backup & Restore to save my data then wipe and reinstall OS and apps then restore data if that would fix it.

It is certainly worth trying. I don't know anything about Easy Backup - I use Swift Backup, and have successfully restored data from one phone to another using it. It might depend on what Android version was on your old phone, though. I recall reading somewhere that restoring data from different Android versions could cause problems.

Finally got around to trying this after replacing the loud speaker on another Pixel 3. Seemed to work well. We will see if this solves the call problems.
