So im just looking to backup my home screens using Titanium Backup. Is there a way to do it? I noticed a "homescreen" entry under Backup/Restore but wondering if it will actually restore homescreens after backing it up. I know there is an option to back up the entire system, but dont know if it lets you restore individual pieces like batch app restore does.
It will restore your apps, but not your widgets. This is a limitation of Android.
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.

of all the apps that i use on my android phones the most (CoPilot aside) is Titanium Backup Full/Pro/Donate whatever you want to call it.
Just make sure you unlock it to get the DropBox feature.
in the Nexus S with the lack of the extra external storage, it's almost a must have to be able to back/restore all your apps & settings online, and on the go, so that if crap happens, you can easily just restore them all back.
it also facilitates a lot when we are constantly trying out new ROMs
with the 1 click restore feature
How do you do it mate? I backed up to phone then synced with dropbox? Is that it? Would be awesome if someone made a drop box music player lol

I highly recommend Titanium Backup. The donate version is a must for anyone who flashes ROMs.

Just google it: "Nandroid vs MyBackup Pro vs Titanium Backup." You'll gain all the information you need. It's been talked a lot.
Nandroid = Every nook and cranny.
Titanium Backup = Basically everything app related and system settings. Doesn't touch the OS itself. Pro version has that auto install feature when you restore apps.
MyBackup Pro = Dunno if it changed much, but it backs up everything app related. No system settings. Also backs up app data if you have root. Restore app one by one.
I might have forgotten something because the last time I used MyBackup was about year or two ago.

Actually, MyBackup Pro does back up system settings. Also backs up SMS and MMS and photos. Also batch restores the apps.
What I did not have a good experience is backing up contacts as it conflicts with google's contact sync and I ended up with double contacts..this was almost a year ago though..
Another recommendation here though only for the pro version. The regular version is just a pain to back up and restore all your apps.

it's true about the pain to restore
but the FREE version you still have the 1 button backup everything option
Hello,
is there any Way to backup the icon app position from the Stock SGS launcher. Want to enable the ext4 lagfix with binds but this only work after a factory reset for me. Got around 10 pages (one for navigation, internet, multimedia...) and sort the apps after a titanium backup takes to long.

im looking for the same thing and have checked every where, i mean how hard is it for some to sort this out
Look for the database for TWLauncher under /dbdata and back it up. Not sure if restoring this would work but I don't see why it wouldn't. Looking at the contents of the database I can confirm that this is where the icon positions are stored. Also maybe saving the settings for TWlauncher with Titanium Backup would work too?
EDIT: you would need root to do this.

did anyone figure this one out?
You should be able to back up TWLauncher data in Titanium Backup and restore it either by batch system data restore or finding it manually on your list of apps and restoring it's data.
i tried that but i ended up getting a bunch of FCs, and theyre still there once i reboot
I made backups of some of my system apps with Titanium, then deleted them from the phone (don't worry, I didn't delete anything mission-critical). I was going through and restoring some of these apps, just to make sure that I could get everything back to stock if I wanted to, and while almost everything got restored without a hitch, there were a few apps that Titanium would hang on when I hit the restore button.
I'm certainly not screwed or anything. I'll just grab what I need from the system dump. I was just curious if this behavior was consistent across devices. The apps I've been having trouble restoring are News, IM, and Guided Tours. Anybody else having trouble with these?

I've noticed that I can't restore my ADW EX desktop configuration with Titanium, and I can't manually restore the backup files from my SD. Anyone know what is up with this?

Titanium while being able to back up system data won't back up your desktop. ADW has the option to back up your desktop setting. Just go in to the ADW Settings and you'll see an option for back up and restore. then just hit the button that says back up desktop configuration. However I'm not sure if you end up having to wipe the data completely that the back up you made would stick. I would assume that the Desktop back up from ADW would be saved as system data which you can back up with Titanium. Please someone correct me if i'm wrong. Hope that helps.

Doesn't work. I tried restoring with the built-in backup, but it wouldn't work. Titanium restores certain parts of the data for my apps, but others aren't touched. I'm guessing this may have something to do with coming from HTC to Motorola or Titanium not being fully compatible with the Bionic yet.
Edit: Titanium does backup your desktop configuration (just not your widgets). I've had a bit of experience with this.

Use the ADW built in restore option. It'll restore everything, but it'll show grey boxes where your widgets were, you'll know the positions and can simply reapply the widgets from there.

That's a negative. Don't you think I would have tried that? I ended up re-doing it by hand.

Hello, I'm new to having a rooted phone and doing back ups. I was wondering if there a app or something in titanium that can backup your ringtones settings for your contacts and your home screen, app folders? I am trying out the EclipticONE-Revamped-Inverted DEODEX 3.8 and for some reason it won't let me use htc backup to restore my homescreen and app folder setup.

Thanks I'll look into it. It doesn't seem to be able to back up contacts or ringtones settings. Is there a app that can do this? I figured out how to backup contacts on titanium. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, I'm trying to look things up and learning the stuff that goes with running a rooted phone.
I'm pretty sure TWRP/CWM backs up EVERYTHING. But you can't transfer that around from ROM to ROM.
You need not worry about contacts. Google backs that up for you.
When I used to be a flashaholic on my gs2, the only thing I would back up was doodle jump. I enjoyed having to toy with all the settings. Ringtones don't take so long to set up, do they?
Not really, I was just curious if there was a app that could do it. I'm trying out a few different roms to find one I like, so I figured I would ask just incase something like that was out there.
