I am still on MIUI 11.0.7.0 (rooted and removed MIUI junk), with no support for TWRP Nandroid backups, what backup apps or softwares or tools are you using to backup your apps/data/settings/calls etc from one ROM and restoring it on other ROM/ROMs.
I was looking at Titanium backup, Swift backup, Migrate, but not sure yet.
Please share your preferred methods/tools which helps in easier/safer and faster ROM hopping/migration.

Can someone please advise if there is such WM backup app similar to the Titanium Backup used in Android. Today I am using SPB Backup which backups everything, program apps as well as ROM system, however it would be nice if we can just backup the program apps without the OS, in this way we can conveniently install those favorite program apps to new or updated ROM's. Many thanks.
Hi
Is it possible to use Titanium backup to do a total full backup?
So I can wipe it all, experiment with other roms, then if I decide to go back to the current one (Android Revolution HD), I just run super wipe, run the rom, then the no-sense, then run the backup with titanium backup, and will it be as it is now? All my apps still installed, all my apps arranged into folders in the app drawer and all my messages and all that?
Thanks.

its easier with cwm because you would`nt have to flash the rom again and install titanium backup again cwm will put everything back the way it was
Sounds like a nandroid backup is what you really want to do. You can do that in recovery under backup/restore. It will take an entire image of your current ROM. Then you can experiment with other ROMs and go back to the backup you made and everything will be exactly as you left it. Backing up and restoring system data in Titanium Backup is not really a good idea between ROMs. Use it mainly for backing up user apps/data.
I booted into CM7 and did a backup there, the backup is like 871mb, does that include apps and everything I want backing up?
What about backing up text messages and home screen configs? I have ran restores on titanium before and seem to only sometimes get this restored. I flashed a rom 2 days ago and just today randomly, my text messages came back... weird...
Titanium backup is ****ty. Used it once to back up and restore my apps, but during restore it screwed up app data and half my restored apps were force closing when I tried to run them. I would find something else if I were you

not CM7 - its CWM
Anyway, a nandroid is what you are referring to and as it seems what you have done.
My last nandroid was over 1.2 GB
Experiment all you like now with various ROMs.You have your security net of a known working backup..(if the **** hits the fan)
I have an almost stock skyrocket that is rooted. I also have the paid version of titanium backup on it, but i'm not really sure how to use most of it except to backup and freeze apps. I want to flash a few ice cream roms, but I was wondering if anyone could coach me or point me to a page on how to completely backup and restore my device in case I need or want to return it back to stock. Thanks for any help.

Go into clockworkmod and choose backup and restore. Backup. You will have a full backup of your apps and your stock rom. If you ever need to revert, go back into clockworkmod, do a superwipe, and then restore the backup.

First get rom manager, then i believe through rom manager you can install clockworkmods touch recovery. Then boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, which I think is the best way to do a full backup of your phone.
Titanium backup is great but you may find when doing batch backups of apps that you'll run into errors when switching between different roms.
I find using titanium to backup my app data only and just reinstalling apps from the play store (just go down the my apps list to reinstall your apps) to be the best way to avoid force closes. Then you can just restore your app data in titanium.
(do a search for more details on clockworkmod)
Nandroid backups done with CWM do not back up the radio IIRC. If you want to be able to return to your current ROM I suggest:
1. Make sure you know how to install the stock ROM you are currently running with Odin.
2. Make sure you have the stock rom files you need to do step 1.
3. Backup your current setup with CWM.
Try ICS as much as you like.
If you want to revert then Odin the stock rom you are using now, Odin CWM, boot into recovery and restore the backup you made. This will make sure everything is back to what you have now.
I've only used Titanium Backup to restore Nova Launcher after flashing a new ROM (Play Store downloads all the apps) and restoring Nova Launcher neatly flings all those apps back into the proper folders.
I can't comment on TiBu, but using when using nandroid via CWM as suggested it helps to have separate backups of call logs, contacts and messaging to restore.
Folks,
Is anyone aware of a root backup solution for Android that backs up both /data/data/appName (the Consumer-Encrypted data, also under /data/user/userId/appName) and /data/user_de/userId/appName (the Device-Encrypted data)?
Most backup apps only backup the former (/data/data/appName) and as all apps that need to be running at boot are using DE data, the backups are incomplete. For example Gboard won't restore properly.
I've tried:
Titanium Backup 8.0.2
ROM Toolbox 6.0.8.0
and none of these backup the DE area.
I can't believe nobody has noticed yet...
Swift Backup.

The oneplus one doesn't have a sd card slot does it?
If it did, you could try Link2sd or App2sd, I think both have backup options.
I would use the report post option, and ask a Mod to move this to
