Hello
As I've set up many parameters into my running OxygenOS, such as application behavior, battery optimization, miscellanous settings, wallpapers...
How im supposed to backup all those settings regarding OxygenOS in order to avoid to reinstall it while tranfering my phone to another OOS phone ?
PS : my phone is rooted, and I use TitaniumBackup
I wish to get solution to backup problem,
all those settings preferences need to be backuped up but no solution yet found.
at least we still have "titanium backup".

exactly, not much to backup aside of apps,
you can try to backup system "settings" in "titanium backup".

Copy the folder opbackup to flash drive or PC after backup. Just choose new backup and select what to back up. Make sure u give oneplus switch app permissions

Hi folks.
I did only backup the parameters as suggested by the app, but what a pitty....
The main file only weight 468 Bytes (attachement)
This method is clearly unrelialable. As it doesn't backup my whole parameters.
TitaniumBackup appears to be my last shot, but I still have to determine what to backup...

You won't be disappointed. I freeze apps with icebox. Swift backs up more than just apps.
Of course, it's individual choice but I rely on OP Switch as my backup solution. I was a big fan for TB during my rooted days. With excellent Oxygen OS and OP Switch, I have no desire to root the phone anymore.
I haven't used Swift Backup app, but it might be worth the try. It's available on play store.

I can't understand, how to dont have any root Desire in 2020.
Just, how do you handle bloatware or ads (web, app...)?

There aren't many apps on Oxygen OS that I consider bloatware. I use most of them. If I don't use a particular app, I simply disable it. If it still bothers me there are many guides online to debloat using adb commands.
I use paid version of AdGuard and have no issues with blocking ads. One license fee covers all 3 phones in my family.

By this I don't mean the batch process, that I know. But once you batch, you have to click install and done one by one until all the apps are installed. I jump roms a lot and am wondering if there's anyway to do this all at once without having to click individually?
One of those "restore all apps" batch functions doesn't work for you?
Go pro. Or you cannot use root explorer and Giro were your apparently are installed on your phone copy them and the using your PC put the in the same folder in the rom and then flash. Now they are installed just use titanium to restore the apps data.

so if i buy the pro vesion will that let me select/multi-install without accepting the app "install" and "done" every time?
Hit menu>batch and you can restore all.

Yes, you must go pro. I didn't buy the pro version myself, but I've heard from many others that that is the only way to do them all at once without confirming each app.
I can confirm that the pro version will do this. Well worth the money if you ask me.

TiBU has a feature to create a flashable .zip file for installing the applications. I have yet to try this, but it seems pretty cool.

AFAIK this only refers to a flashable zip of TiB itself (I thought otherwise before, but I tried it)
Still handy to use for restore if your new rom doesn't include TiB and you had to wipe your data and want to restore your g-account etc. first.
ok, thanks guys. the paid version does indeed just install without intervention.
this app is great. well worth the few $ for paid. had the license file in less than 15mins from paying.
good to see that the free version is still available anyway.
the installable zip file would be a great addition.
Greetings all!! I came here from the T-mobile Galaxy S2 forums. I have a question I am needing help with. I have searched all over with no luck.
So I have TB pro, and I used it to make a update.zip of some user apps and data from my S2. Mostly just some games and oddball apps. Absolutely no system apps or anything like that. My question is can I flash that update zip to my new Oneplus one. Yes i have a custom recovery and I am rooted. Thanks in advance!!
As long as there's no system data it should be ok. But, I've seen at least one person have issues after flashing an update zip like that. It might be better just to restore your apps the normal way (through Titanium itself).
Transmitted via Bacon
Ok. Thanks for the heads up on that. Can you explain what is the normal way to get app data from one phone to another using TB pro? I am kinda confused on doing it. Thanks!
Just navigate to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, copy all the files from that folder to the new phone in the same location.
Transmitted via Bacon
Im sorry if I seem like an idiot. But, do I copy the files to my PC first then transfer them to the Oneplus one??
That's how I do it.

depending on how much you have backed up, it might be easier to just sync between the two phones with Dropbox. Just make sure you export to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder on the OPO.

lil program called app2zip that I use for this function or I usually back my stuff up to dropbox and just download the specific files I need information for. I kinda prefer to have clean starts on all new phones and I dont play games so never had to worry about that.

I used TB coming from a Nexus 5 and I don't have any issues.
I just synced with the Dropbox.
Thanks to all that responed!! I ended up flashing the update zip and so far so good. I guess im just kinda dumb about using TB to transfer from phone to phone. Thanks again!!
I recommend a lot Go Backup over titanium. It has Dropbox and Google Drive sync for "cloud backup" in addition to typical local backup. It also has batch restore and with that you will never need to restore app by app.

All the features that you listed has been in Titanium Backup for awhile. It has cloud backup, local backup, batch restore/backup.
Some of these features are in the Pro version but the money is definitely worth it. When a new Android version comes out, the developer updates it quite fast to have it working.
Ww thats so noob from me.
I have TB Pro from a while (since my old Gnex) and i never tought about using the backups to restore my apps on my new devices because i tought that i could have had compatibility issues (even if i dont never ever backup system data).
You never stop to learn lol.

I just copy my TitaniumBackup folder from my old phone, copy paste it onto my new phone internal storage and then batch restore including my text messages. So easy to setup my phone
And while titanium backup is restoring all my apps, i go into settings and set up each menu to how it was before. Multi tasking on the fly

I didnt find batch restore in TB, and a small but useful feature that Go Backup has but TB not is to backup only the data and not the apk. It is very useful when you want to backup the game data but the APK and OBB are very heavy.

Its a feature in Titanium Backup Pro which is paid. Its been there ever since the beginning. If you use the free version, batch restore is not available.
Hello everyone!
I am wondering if there is anyway to save an apps data if you wanted to install another rom? I love taking different roms out for a spin, but having to restart a game over and over as a result can be frustrating.

you can store them on pc, but for me, there are some files inside the backup that wont copy. i dont know if this is common, but i thought i should mention it. although, even with whatever wouldnt copy, i have never had an issue restoring the apps or data.
even if you move the backup to pc, you have to move it back to the phone to use it.
there is also a cloud option to save the backups to drive and other places.
its is fairly easy to restore, there is a batch option menu, where you just select the ones you want and click start, but if you dont get the paid version, it will only let you do one at a time, which sux lol
Hello all!
Hope that's the right place to post that question
i want to downgrade my phone from android 12 to android 11 (Asus rog phone 5) because it's very unstable.
i read on the google site that the google auto-backup doesn't support downgrading, so i need a recommendation for software from someone who downgraded his/her phone to a lower version and managed to restore it later on.
Also is this process dangerous? I read the manuals on Asus official site which just talks about backup the phone, then downloading some file from the site restarting the phone and it should install it alone.
Thanks in advance for helping!

As a thumb rule, it is always risky to restore a backup of settings between versions, especially when downgrading.

If I were you, I would not backup anything and install everything manually and configure. Whatever you do, please do not back up Android 12's settings and restore them in Android 11.
Third party apps can be backed up using Titanium Backup or some similar backup tools. While restoring them, go by one app at a time so that you will know which app's backup caused issues and you can avoid restoring that app the next time.

Do a manual backup of all your personal stuff. Downgrade (A12 > A11 is really an 'upgrade' ). Then do a clean A11 setup and transfer your files over. Old school but the most solid way...

i guess i will make a combination to both
backup some apps with titanium backup (other will be downloaded normally after downgrade)
backup files from files manager through local backup connected to pc
will not backup any setting (maybe will screenshot to restore them manually)
will disconnect google from the phone
download the android 12 to android 11 from the asus site
and hope that anything that was ****ed will be normal again.
will let you know later how it went.
thanks guys.

Any recommendation for backup app for applications that doesn't require root?
If you mean that you are unrooted, then the options are limited. Certain backups require root. ADB backup & restore can also be used.
You can check up this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/need-recommendation-for-a-backup-restore-app-no-root.4401711/ and search in Google.

It is a method to backup and restore using adb commands. It is partially explained in the link that I provided. You can also google adb commands to learn further.
Hi!
I just noticed that there is an official way to do this. Look for the 'Version Android 12 to Android 11' on the official asus page:
- https://www.asus.com/supportonly/ROG Phone 5 (ZS673KS)/HelpDesk_Download/
I found it while looking for an update. But also I look around here at xda to see if there is something relevant on the ROG 5.
Hope it helps

For that I'd need a way to remove everything from the backup besides WhatsApp though. As that does a backup and restore of everything, all apps, all file system etc IIRC
Trying adb backup now, there seems to be a java tool that allows you to open the backup file on pc

Is that the Samsung moving phones thingy? Does that move apps including it's data so you don't have to set them up again?
I usually avoid the moving data from phone to phone during setup, because I take setting up a new phone as an opportunity to clean up data/apps. So I only reinstall those I actually need

As mentioned in here, using the backup inside WhatsApp still needs you to sign in again on the new phone which isn't my goal. I want to backup ALL of WhatsApp including the sign in, so I can just move it to the new phone without logging in.

Yeah thanks, I know it's possible with root which I don't have and doing it wipes the phone which makes my whole reason for this pointless.
