Attention!!!
If you use Titanium Backup dont do a mass restore (all file at once) while it dont will put it onto SD card! the apps and the phone memory will be full and some error etc.
restor oance a time the apps. and move it manualy to SD card.

No its no necessary..it'l b a lengthy process so do some apps at once like 20.. no error ever occured to me..

in titanium backup setting there is a option which let you choose if you want to install apps in sdcard, phone memory or android way
choose android way then TB will install some apps in phone memory and some apps in sdcard so need to restore app individually
also TB is better than nandroid backup and never ever restore system data with TB

use titanium backup (i recommend pro version)to backup all user apps...then u flash new rom.....then u run restore missing apps with data...not anything else...

I tried yesterday to restore 30 apps from batch and fail.
Apps was backuped form stock rom.
TB dosent remember to restore the apps here it was? exemple cut the rope is sd up but puts it on phone?
I'am refering that what should be on sd to restor to sd what no no.

I use Titanium Backup Pro. Restore and run batch until notify Batch verification finished 0 error found. But not found restore files anywhere. Does I missing some step?

I always restore around 80apps at once and never had any problem..

Yes its possible.
Simply install titanium backup or Mybackup application from the market. The pro versions are better at a small fee
Then from the current ROM back up all the apps you want. this back up is stored in the SD card and so wount be affected by Flashing a custom ROM.
Now flash the desired ROM and again install either of the applications you used to backup the apps from the market. i.e if you used titanium backup to back up your apps, then install titanium back up from the market.
then select restore option to restore your applications!
Hope this helps.

yeah, try Titanium Backup.

Tqvm for suggestion. Then, what is different compare to CWM backup? Which better?

I tried restoring when I went from Blazer ROM to CM10 but it just gave me errors and force closes. Is there a specific way in TB to restore in a different ROM or do you basically have to start off with a clean slate?

nandroid only partially backing up/ restoring

Hi all, I did a nandroid restore and it only partially restored my phone content, for example it did restore
- hotkeys
- sms
- wallpaper,
but didn't restore
- contacts
- homescreen setup
- applications (and data).
It worked perfectly well when I tried it, but last time it didn't. Here is what I did:
Installed 6.1 per ClockworkMod without Google Apps and did a nandroid backup as I was asked, booted into 6.1, rebooted, flashed Gapps tiny 201020 something, rebooted, didn't come past "tap the android to begin" (don't know why tapping didn't do anything), so I restored the backup I did prior to installing 6.1 and it restored only what I wrote above.
Any help will be greatly appreciated guys!

1. Contacts get restored from Google.
2. Did you use alternative launcher before (i.e ADW or LP). If so, the only way Nand would restore it, if you still have it on your phone but what you say is that it did not restore any apps which leads me to next point.
2. Did you have your apps on SD card? Did you do Nand+Ext backup or just Nand? Regular Nandroid back-up will not touch your ext partition. If you did just a Nandroid backup and wiped your ext partition - your apps are gone for good.

Thank you for your answer! Yes I had 6.0 before 6.1 with ADW. Nandroid did restore one or two apps, but not all... (just found that out). Yes I had some apps on my sd card but nandroid didn't recover them, neither the others. Just the few I mentioned before, but I had more on my SD and more on my internal flash storage. And no, I had no ext partition of sd card (copied some of them via froyo apps2sd). Also, I didn't remove any of my files from my SD (except for some songs to make more free space).
It seems like Clockwork didn't warn me that I had not enough free space on my SD and the backup had not enough space... However I managed to get the data I needed with this tool from a German forum: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...6339-nandroid-backup-auslesen.html#post592908
Copy your .img to your computer, open with and choose the unyaffs.exe, works perfectly well
Now I still don't know why I wasn't able to get past the "Getting Started" Android first steps, but I'm going to flash again (this time with everything safely backed up) and see if it works this time.
Glald you figured it out. Hopefully you'll have better luck with it next time around.

[Q] how to backup entire phone

I am going to try to update to 2.2 but I just want to backup my entire phone
before I do it cause I might lose everything...
so my question is how to back everything up?
Is there a software for it?
umm If you back up a 2.1 phone state you cant restore it once your in 2.2 What exactly do you wanna back up or save?
does that mean if i want to update to 2.2 i need to erase everything??
all i want to backup are my apps
ROM manager is your answer if you want to back up a ROM and potentially restore it. You can also backup all your apps with titanium backup and then flash back to stock (which I assume your on) and then reload your apps with titanium backup. Do some reading around here about those two items, that will get you what you need.

If i want to flash a new rom, i back up all my app using tibu. but if i use odin to flash back to stock, then hit master clear all my app is lost. most of the new custom roms ask you to master clear, so how can you back up you app if you have to master clear....

What I did was
1) backup my apps using Tibu.
2) Copy the tibu data folder onto my external SD card or computer.
3) Master Clear and flashed away.
4) Copied the Tibu data folder back to the internal SD card (I think its the root directory of the internal SD card....cant remember).
5) Opened up Tibu and restore the apps.

Open titanium
Top bar, select backup and restore
Hit menu key on your phone
Select batch
Select restore apis with data
That should do it, do not restore any system data

[Q] Titanium Backup App Data?

So I updated to a new rom (serendipity 7) and backed up all my apps with Titanium Backup.. I'm curious if the data it backs up is like save data for games and such? Cause when I restored everything I didn't have any of my saves.. Which kinda pisses me off cause I got fairly far in Plants vs Zombies.. =(
Yes tibia will back them up and restore them. At least have for me. Just open tubular and scroll until you see your game/s and click on it. Then pick the backup you want. Now IF you only have one backup then go into preferences and choose Max backups and set it to 2,3, or whatever you want. Then go back and refresh the apps list and hopefully your correct saved data will be there. Now click on the game and when it pops up say restore data or app+data.
I have my Max backup at 4 and has saved me on occasions when an app update doesn't seem to function correctly so I pick an older version of the app. Also make sure you have where it is saved in the same location it was saved previously, in other words if you originally had it saving it to the external SD card then you may have to change it back to save/restore from the external (or vise versa). I mention this because some roms that come with Toby already automatically have it set to save on the sdcard and I didn't have all my apps or data until I resaved the backup to my external SD card. Just throwing things out there for you to try.

Yep that worked, I ran the batch that restored app+data however it didn't restore my data.. Looks like I'll have to go through and restore data.. Thanks
again guys I dont know why TB isn't reading my backups? I have them on my sd card all of them but TB does not give me an option to restore the app data! what's wrong? Help please Thank youuu
You need to describe your problem better.
What ROM you use? What ROM backups are from? Have you set your default backup folder? Do you see your backups? What exactly you can't restore? etc...

[Q] restoring overwritten backup

I recently flashed a new rom and I was about to restore my apps and data via titanium backup, apparently what I actually did was backup the apps instead of restoring them. My tb app's max backup history is currently set to 1. My question is, is there a way to restore overwritten titanium backup files? I have to restore them especially my messages
Since it is configured to max backup of 1 file, I'm not even sure if it was really overwritten or deleted
Have you made a nandroid backup before flashing the rom?
unfortunately no.

By any chance u hv selected the "Ext SD card" as backup location wen u did the old backup? In the new one it wl be internal SD by default (until & unless u change it manually)..in this case, u wl hv 2 backups..if u r lucky, u will have 2 backups & u can actually restore frm the old backup..hope, I m not confusing u
i get what u mean. but unfortunately my storage when i did the backup was my phone storage

[Q] how to change fast a New Rom?

change a new Rom with the best performance means:
full wipe (cashe,data,preload,system)
also not restore app (at least app data) from titanium backup.
so, install all app again and make setup for all
guys, how do you this? I have already xxlsz a mounth installed, everything is working, but I know, new rom could be better.
otherwise I am tired of restoring...
sometimes I am thinking I could be happy with a iphone so simply

Have you been downloading all of your apps every time you flash a new ROM ?
You can restore user apps and data.
Just don't restore any system app/data
Got it?
for me the RomCustomizer by ficeto is great app for restoring, backuping, uninstalling apps, and I never restore any data. If the app which I use have option to save/restore settings I do that (and this kind of data is usualy saved on internal sd) same thing is for gps navigation programs (maps are always saved on internal sd)
so after flashing new rom, first thing is installing rom customzer, then restoring user and also some system apps (I do backup of some system apps which is updated, it saves my time from updating via playstore)
and thats it, new rom is set up in about 30min
this way I dont have any problems with any rom and any app I used
hope it helped to someone
till now I just have restored some user app+data from titanium, some download again from market. never restore system app or data.
once I have deleted my internal card and download all app again cuz some people had problem with performance of that rom and this want recommend. also I wanted a bit clean my phone.
ok, now I am confuse. it's safe restore user data or better just save data if the app has this in option and then restore?
thanks guys.

Both are safe. The latter method requires you to individually restore data while in the former you can batch restore data. Which one you want to use is up to you.
so for the best performance of a new ROM is NOT nesesary format internal card and NOT restore app+data ?
Make ROM CUSTOMIZER backup of app with or without data? (I didnt find this option like in Titanium Backup).
