I have a rom but I wish to change it. Will changing my room make all my apps and contacts dissaper?

Your contacts are backed up by Google and as far as your apps, I advise you to back them up with either titanium backup or mybackup pro...

He's right another thing that's helpful IMO is once u back up all of ur apps using titanium back up it creates a folder on ur sd I went in there and copied all of my apps created a folder on my sd and pasted them there for extra precaution and made a second copy of the folder on my pc for an extra back up that way no matter what I have all of my apps
Note I turn off file compression on titanium back up if I didn't I couldn't install them without titanium wen I backed up with out any compression I can install any of my apps with any file manger well hope this helps good luck

use rom manager, and just backup your rom. Itll save EVERYTHING. If you want to revert, install ROM manager on your current rom, click restore from backup, and there you go! Simple as that.

Actually, when you do a wipe, as soon as you're back into your phone just go straight to the market and go to your downloads, it always seems to save them there. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you're changing to a ROM with a different version of android (I.e. going from Fresh to Cyanogenmod).

Hey i just rooted my Optimus 2x and removed two system apps with Titanium Backup Pro..
before that i made a backup of the apps with Titanium backup, but there is just one problem, it only made a backup of DATA not the APP....
so now i have removed the CAR HOME APP and F-Secure APP and don't have backup...
my question is....
Do I have a problem, if i need to make a hard reset with VOL + HOME, POWER. when im missing those system APPs ??
No problem
@dk_iceman
What did you do to remove f-secure? Could you please provide a very short summary of what you did? I'm curious if it's really enough to remove the apk? And what do you mean by data? After a restart of the phone, did the app really disappear?
thanks!

What about his post is unclear? he uninstalled the program using titanium backup pro. (you need to root first)
And yes... It sticks efter reboot and factory reset.

you can just use ADB to push the apk's back on your system if you want.
Odd. For some reason i cant mount system as rw with adb "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
But you can just put the apk's on your sd card in stead and then copy them to system/app using root explorer
Duplication

Open the SuperUser app and "forget" the entry "unknown" then:
Code:
adb shell
$ su

And you'll get prompted on the phone screen to allow root access.

Yeah... my bad... just realised that 2 mins ago... was about to post.
So if you take a backup with titanium backup, it will not backup the app. And if you delete apps, with titanium backup are they removed completely from the ROM/ROOT, and a factory reset will not bring them back?
Man just deleted F-secure, SNS, App advisor and the live wallpapers, with titanium backup, and these will not come back if I make hard reset, does anyone have the SNS 1.0 and the Christmas/Firework live wallpapers?

Download my rom dump, extract files and just copy files back with root explorer.

You should user soft "SystemApp Remover" to remove app you want. This is very cool app . There are many bloatware you can remove.
Another way to disable apps is to use Titanium backups "freeze" or the "disable" with adb. Both prevents the app from running BUT leaves it intact and give you a possibility to restore all apps with a hard reset.
Here is a guide from Paul at Modaco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8633061&postcount=1
Basically its use adb to run a PM command:
pm disable com.Apps.apps (change the file name to the apk you want to disable.
Note: titanium "freeze" do same thing
I've made backups with Titanium Backup and synced them with my dropbox account. But when i look at what he saved i can see the apk files. So i'm not really sure but it looks to me like he also saved the app itself and not only the data.
update:, hmmmm i just looked at the content of my backup dir in dropbox and it seems like he didnt send the system apps. So if you want to restore them you have to use the system dump. Or back them up yourself.

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to tweak this Stock rom because i don't wanna install mostly broken custom roms where i can't use apps i want (installed from market).
I was just wondering that which system apps can be uninstall from LG Optimus 2X for not being worried about any errors or so?
I have uninstalled now sns, wallpapers, most of widgets i don't need but can i remove remotecall app? Do i need it for makeing calls, sending sms or connecting to mobile network, wifi or Bluetooth?
Or is google quick search necessary for some apps?
and what about Smartshare, talk, voicesearch or voicerecorder?
Please answer to this if you have time and knowledge of these apps!
Thank you in advance!
Just out of curiosity, why dont you guys just install a clean Vanila ROM?
Wouldn't that be easier as it will not contain any of LG's software/modifications etc?
Not trying to be a smart alec here, just wondering that's all.
I got my 2X today and I want to install a clean Vanila ROM and have posted a thread asking for help as to how to go about doing it.
I'm currently using Launcher Pro which works a treat and the ROM itself seems very fast but I just hate the tweaks to the Messaging apps and also all the bloatware.
Or do you guys just find LG's software useful?
Cheers
I love my HD2 and i always flash it~
In order to increase speed and avoid widget Disappear of A2SD+, I put a lot of common apps into ROM by using Titanium Backup.
But after I install the New ROM，i need to restore them one by one.
In Titanium Backup batch function, System apps won't get restored in Batch. Only system settings + data will get restored in batch.
I mean can we batch backup system/app and restore(include changed data) to system/app ???
Is there another backup software can batch data apps move to the rom As Well As batch restore apps into the rom? Thank you.

Trying to restore titanium backup of downloaded apps and settings from another device. Apps restore properly but none of the settings do (game scores, etc.)
I have never had a problem restoring to other devices. Is there anything I have to do to fix this?
Dmore rom, semaphore kernel
Had the same problem at one point, tried fixing it but didn't know what to do and nothing seemed to make any difference. And then suddenly one day it was working again.
The only difference i can think of is I updated titanium backup. try that.
If that doesn't work try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (copy the titanium backup folder on your sd card onto your computer just in case it gets deleted, don't think it should.)
Other than that google the problem (Titanium backup wont restore apps - google search), there are ton of similar situations, there's probably an answer out there already that'll work for you

I'm on version 5 so that should be fine. and thanks for the link, although I did not find why data is not being restored.
Strange thing is that data from ONE app was restored but not others. After seeing that I remade the backup but the same thing happened. I wonder if its where the i9000 stores the data of backups is the issue
No other ideas? No one has had this happen?
I've been looking for a solution for two nights, this hasn't happened to anyone?

Go into options of titanium and make sure you have backup external data to always. I run a restore this morning because I was switching ROMs and everything worked fine.

Restore manually. When you go to the folder with all the backups, there should be a bunch of .tar and other files. Just install the apks on the other phone and manually restore the data in the .tars

I see the tars, and in each tar there is a data folder, another data folder inside, and then the .com folders. what do i restore and where do I put it?
for example, in the AKnotepad .com folder there are these folders:
app_sslcache
databases
shared_prefs
some apps also have a files folder inside the .com
I can just place them using ES file browser with root browsing method on the phone, just am not sure where.
When O had a look into my backups, that had data folders in them. Go on your old phone and see where the files in data folders go. Most go to /data/data. I recommend Root Explorer.

On my old phone they go there, but i think thats what the issue is, that they are located somewhere else on the i9000?

Very simple question since i always see people asking this.
Can you use your GB 2.3.6 backup of titanium Backup when you are in ICS or do you have to reinstall all your apps manually and manually download them all again from the marketplace ?

You can restore your apps once on ICS using Titanium, but never system stuff. However, you might run into problems if you do that, depending on your ICS Rom. It's better to do a clean app install instead. Here's what you could do to make the process quick and painless:
1. download and install any explorer with root permissions if you don't have it already
2. create a folder called 'Apps' (or 'My Apps' or whatever) on your SD card
3. go back to /data/app folder (this is where all user apps are located)
4. multi select everything you plan to use on ICS, then 'copy'
5. browse to the /Apps folder on your SD card, then 'paste' - now you have backed up everything you need
6. flash ICS Rom of your choice
7. download and install Android Assistant from Playstore, run it
8. AA has 'Batch Install' option, tap it; AA will automagically find all your backup apps and install them in one go
9. you're done

Damn nice app.. thanks for the tip friend :good:
After you do the above, you can then restore data only (not apps) from TB.
That way all your app content, saved games etc. should be as they were on GB.
I am so glad i made this thread because now when i get asked this question over and over again i can just reference them to this thread
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
You can do it with titanium too.
After flashing ICS, just install titanium and select batch option - Restore missing application.
Now check the list manually, if any application that was part of system application on GB, just un tick that.
Now this will restore only user appl safely.
PS : I have marked that If you restore Opera browser with app+data option, it getting crash. in that case just wipe data for opera, and will work fine.
Does this procedure works the other way.
Your back up was created while you are on ics, and the restoring while you are on gb
thanks in advance

Titanium Backup is the most powerful backup tool on Android
I have read the app description and i know some valuable things : you may follow the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
"You can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links. This includes all protected apps & system apps, plus external data on your SD card. You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. Backups will operate without closing any apps (with Pro). You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card. You can browse any app's data and even query the Market to see detailed information about the app."
