Q how to backup up touchwiz settings - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way?

Hmm, good question. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think it's possible.
Edit: What might work is that you copy the TouchWiz launcher APK. If you're rooted then just go to system/app, find the APK and copy it.
I THINK this will do it.

Use Titanium Backup and System data/app (whatever it called again) backup - scroll down to Twlauncher to backup it settings. This should do it.
I usually do it with mine old Desire to backup the HTC Sense launcher settings, email/gmail settings etc and should be the same with TouchWiz.
But u can only restore, if using same ROM and cant restore the settings on another custom ROM.

Can u be more specific?? like if you want backup all apps use titanium backup, or if you want to store all stuff like s memo, wallpapers, messages etc use Kies.

I have this question as well. Specifically, is there a way to back up the folders in the app drawer as well as the arrangement of icons and Widgets on the home screen?

Will result in touchwiz being extinguished from your tab. Won't be running at the back after you delete it.

Just remember to have another launcher installed prior to doing that .

Anyone tried that without any problems? I have a gt with overcome 1.2.1 rom and kernel!
Which is the filename of the touchwiz i can delete?
I have adw already installed abd working.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
If you set another launcher as default and then reboot, it shouldn't run the default launcher anyway.
And the name of the Touchwiz launcher is "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk".
Don't delete it, move it to /sdcard/ so you've got a backup.
You can also just freeze the appa instead of deleting/moving it. Use Titanium Backup or similar to freeze it and then it wont run.
Alternative if you want to remove you can also use SystemApp remover if you cant locate the correct apk.
maybe you can crash something. in P1000L (Brazil) tab, TV app doesn't work without touchwiz...
the phone app will not work without the touchwiz launcher

Desk/Car Home apps

Where can i get these apps I know the apex 8.1 rom uses them but im trying another rom and id like to have these two apps. I backed them up with titanium but i guess its not working because it wont let me restore them.
It is probably a system app. What you can do is open up the zip file for the old rom, find the app you want, and drop it in system/app using root explorer.

Installing apps after flashing new rom

Hi ppl
Is there any way to have all apps installed the way it was before switching to a new rom ? I mean when I try out new roms I have to install all apps again. I've tried my backup pro and titanium but they only restore all apps. Anyone has a faster way of doing this??
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
I'm using MyBackup root therefor. Here you can restore all apps with the data in batch mode. But I think MyBackup pro should also do it.
Did u backup your apps along with all their data? There is an option in Titanium Backup to do so in the batch option. I still have my high scores of Temple Run
MyBackup Pro seems to be the best bet considering Titanium does create issues for some folks.
But do remember restoring apps can produce errors in the working of the ROM which otherwise wouldn't exist.
Safest best is to clean instal your apps again.
Tx guys but I cannot get all apps installed . It only restores them with their respective data. I don't wanna install all apps again one by one after flashing a new rom

Titanium backup has a batch restore mode where you can restore more than one app at a time. If this is not what you mean, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I haven't used titanium but I'll check it out. Just to make sure do the apps get installed or just restored? I mean do I have to hit the install button for every app?

Listen buddy, this is a community here. Respect others to get respect for yourself.
Your posts are quite inconsistent.
In the same thread, at the start of the post you mentioned you have used Titanium & a couple of posts later you state you HAVE NOT yet used titanium.
with incorrect/incomplete info no one would be able to assist you correctly & your frustration levels are going to rise.
@letmedanz I didn't mean to disrespect anyone but the way nonverbose responded wasn't cool.
Anyway what I meant when I said I used titanium was that I installed it and removed it within minutes. But I'm not here to prove anything so am gonna forget it and apologize to whoever I offended.

That's cool buddy..
Anyhow, a couple of options are available...
at most times when you install a fresh rom, android automatically installs the apps you had on earlier.
This happens when you run the new rom for the first time, in the initial setup.
Provided you have synced your phone with your gmail account.
once you provide your wifi and/or apn details android will automatically download and instal all the apps.
your second option is as you mentioned, third party apps like titanium & mybackup pro.
personally, i prefer MBP cos titanium has given me more than one problem.
MBP is a neat app, you can either backup/restore all apps or just select a few.
howevre , i still believe it is best to reinstall all apps after a new rom instal, cos restored apps may force close or have other issues specially if you are changing between GB & ICS etc
+1 for Titanium backup !!!
You can backup personnal applications, but their settings and your system settings too !!!
The retore process is quicker than google process because you haven't to download applications from network.
Settings...Image?

I have titanium backup pro and have not figured out how to restore all the settings. Maybe I'm confused, but I have to spend hours setting all the preferences, screens widgets etc each time I flash a new ROM. I've heard you can "Image" backup. Does Titanium do that?
Go backup and go backup pro is best..It don't prompt to install each and every app every time..batch restore with data..easy than titanium backup..

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you post. Titanium backup pro HAS batch restore mode in which you don't have to INDIVIDUALLY install every app.

You can always do a dirty flash but you run the risk of it failing.

I had trouble restoring some MI9 system backups to MJ5. When I tried to restore them via TB, the process would just hang or say "The app is from a different ROM version..." or something like that. Maybe the problem you are having is because the apk is from a different build then the one you are running.
a good point was made i need the ones from the MJ5

I would if I could, but I'm back on MI9 (warrantied my first N3 and they shipped me one with MI9).
If your rooted, maybe you can flash an MJ5 Rom (that hasn't been debloated) w/SS and backup the apk from it. Flash back to your stock nandroid and install the backup apk.
im thinking i need the Odex file for both

keep stock launcher settings after wipe?

i like changing roms a lot! and i do prefer to do a full wipe each time to avoid unwanted bugs, but there is one thing that upsets me the most after each new rom and thats rearanging my launcher...
now i whould use nova launcher since it has backupand restore features, but unfortunatly it's not so usfull for stock roms since it can't find the weather, photos or music player widgets which are the ones i mostly use, niether does it show the AOSP version of those widgets.
so i was wondering if someone knows how to backup the stock launcher settings or layout to restore later, or an alternative lanucher with backup abilities that can use the sony widgets i'd love to know.

yeah but this messes up the whole idea of doing a clean flash without previous programs and possible bugs and errors...
so i've found the solution is anyone is intrested.
all you need to do is copy /data/data/com.sonyericsson.home to a safe location (sdcard)
and after you wipe your device restore the folder to it's original location.
this restores homescreen layouts, widgets locations and sizes and apps shortcuts, i've just tried it works greats.
