hello
im not familiar with backup and recover tools, like titanium backup.
if i backup using a tool like this, after i flash a new rom and recover the backup, will i get my apps installed with all settings?
if so, what other apps like this are good to use?
tnks
have u tried Migrate app ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate
It's basically creating a Flashable zip files on what u backup on the app. try it and let me know. I personally never used it, but some of my friend always recomending me that app.
Bro What did you do ?to get bootlooped!!

Hello I know that after installing a ROM all your data is gone and all the good stuff. I would like to know that if a rom gets rid of some system files and deletes some other stuff, would a nandroid backup of ur phone bring all those files back without any problem?
Yes, a nandroid backup is a complete system image.

I don't know obout Droidness, but with WinMo 6.5.x, If you want to extract some files from the backup made from a certian ROM, then you must re-flash that ROM that the backup was made from.
Or it might not work.
And I'm not sure if a downgrade is a good idea... (with Droid)
I don't know if there is an "App For That" like SKTools, but the backups that I create can be extracted either on the device or on the PC. (WindowsXP PRO).
Hope this helps..
EDIT:
That sounds much simplier. Thanks DirkGently1.
Wow thx that helps alot. If nandroid doesnt work, ill keep the flashing rom before backup in mind thx!

Wait... Can you restore the individual components of a nandroid backup? Or is that a higher level of hacking?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched and could'nt find anything. Couple questions;
1. After I do a backup with Titanium Backup, and I plan to use another ROM, do I delete what Titanium Backup has already created? I ask because I didn't know if it overwrites files or just adds to them. I don't want my memory filled with Backup files if I decide to change my ROM ever so often.
2. Does Titanium Backup, backup SMS and call logs? I downloaded My Backup from the Market cause I wasn't sure. So whenever I switch ROM's, I just run Titanium and My Backup. Is it necessary to have both?
Thanks for any responses...
EDIT....I sort of found the answer to question 2....about it backing up SMS/MMS...but what about the call log?

1. Backup User apps only. Keep them, when you update your ROM.. batch restore it. Just make sure you didnt backup system because it could cause FCs.
2. No it doesn't, there are alternatives on the market that does backup your SMS. I don't know any since i use Google Voice and all my SMS are sync'd on cloud.
And no it isn't.. if you're using Titanium Backup, I suggest you have the Pro version otherwise it'll be a huge hassle.

Ok, so you're saying that if I already have a Titanium Backup of user apps....when I back up again, it'll just overwrite the current ones?

Yes. And if you want to load the backups, you restore the apps.
Hello everyone...
First of all, i'll like to apologise if this thread is already in existence cos i dont really know how to search through over thousands of thread created. I love trying out types of custom rom i feel wld be great. But everytime i install, i'll have to start installing my apps (backed up apk's) manually. Could anyone help me with any app which i can use to backup installed apps so after flashing a new rom, would just have to restore the backup which would install all app and its settings instead of doing it manually all from the start. i googled and downloaded an app Nandroid Manager but i dont figure how to use it.. It wont set a backup location. Any help???

Not very familiar with nandroid back up but i am using titanium backup(buy it, worth every penny), it give u option to both backup your app+data.
I think the free version has the same option.
There is also this app. i used recently on a game(pudding monsters) and it restored the app with the data.
Try both and see which works best for u.
+1 Titanium Backup do it well even free version
You can also do it yourself by doing a copy paste of your data/app folder
Titanium is the best way you can choise

This can be done by two way
1) Titanium Backup - This will ensure all your app and data will be restored on new ROM in single click
a) Backup all user app+data of old ROM
b) Create a Update.zip through Titanium backup app
c) Flash the Update.zip through Recovery (Post installation of new ROM) and enjoy :good:
2) Nandroid backup - By using this option , entire ROM can be backed up (App,Data everything as on date). However this can be use only if you are going back to experience the same ROM again.
1) Through Recovery take the backup of entire ROM
2) Through Recovery restore
3) If you are on S-ON then post restore flash the boot.img manually by using Fastboot command before rebooting the phone. It is must to do step or else phone will be trapped in bootlap
I always ensure following before installing a new ROM
1) Back up of Contacts, SMS/MMS and Call logs by using My Backup Pro app
2) Creating the Update.zip file of all user app+data as on date so nothing can be missed out (Not even save games of Temple Run)
And if I want to go back again to the earlier ROM then I used Nandroid backup. Which reduce a hell lots of efforts.
Hi all.
I tend to switch Roms here and there, or load a new version and have to wipe and format.
I was wondering what the best way to restore is.
I am debating between;
Using titanium backup to restore only apps plus data - is this best to load the ROM and restore after installing the titanium app?
Or make a zip file and install from recovery? Also if from recovery, should I let the ROM load first then load zip second time around?
Alternately, I can use my backup pro and restore all. But again, is it a zip file to restore in recovery ? And if yes, when is best to do it? After ROM install or let ROM load first? I noticed recovery pro also has the options of sms, call logs and other settings which is nice.
Please let me know your thoughts and if any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Titanium for when you are rooted and Helium for when you are not rooted. Helium also backups sms calls if i`am right. I use CallTrack to store the phonelogs and display them in Google Calendar.
Hi and thanks. I am rooted.

I have used titanium for years, has never failed me. It also backs up and restores sms and mms. I have also used rom toolbox pro and my backup pro in the past.

Hi, looking at the recovery menu I can see an option named restore from backup, now the question is ..... How can I make a backup of my unit? I use to try ROMs and want a easy way to got back in case of emergency
Thanks !
Most use Titanium Backup which can backup and restore apps, and some of the apps config/data.
It is still a somewhat tedius process, so those of us with experience don't rush to try every ROM, but it is much faster than having to install and download the apps from the appstore, and having to remember what you had installed etc..
Hi !, yep, I use Titanium BCK too but I need to make a whole system backup, I'll try with nandroid online backup....let's see how it goes
Thanks
