Question : restoring data after flashing roms

First of all,hi all,newbies here.. Bought my O2X for about a month n flashed a few custom roms..question is,i read somewhere that 'restoring data' after flashing roms can cause battery drain issue,is that mean restoring thru recovery or titanium backup? I always use titanium backup n restore app only,afraid of the batt drain issue,but it gets annoying coz i need to set up everything again.(account login,settings).

Only restore "user apps", not system data when coming from another rom.
Sometimes restoring user apps WITH data can cause problems, like batterydrain. For example when going from froyo to gingerbread.

Which means everytime we flashed new roms,we need to setup all the accounts n apps settings again,rite? I thought it can be easier. ;-P

not really, when staying on froyo rom (MCR Kitchen for example), just flash over new rom, you will keep your data ...
when flashing new baseband -> also just restore backup in CWM
when changing to CM, i would recommend using titanium or mybackup pro to restore your apps (exclude system apps in backup, cause they are different !)
but when you´re staying on CM , just flash new rom, you will keep your data !

yes !!
i came from fr14 to fr18b2 without wiping anything !
i would only wipe once when you plan to move to cm, but when you stay on MCR based roms, just reflash rom and enjoy !

Fear, BlazingDragon, they are all based on MCR, so it shouldn´t be a problem ...
just try out, in worst case, when facing a bootloop or some other problems, you can wipe anyway afterwards ...
so it´s good to have a "titanium" or "mybackuppro" backup for worst case

Ok thanks dude!

I have full wiped an refreshed the rom 3 times but it has allways an fc when i start the store and when i want to sign in

Are you sure, you didnt miss any wipe? Full wipe = factory reset + dalwik wipe. Most ppl forget dalwik wipe, which often results in several bugs

Yes im sure i have had do a full wipe.
Before im using zeus i used cm7, can this be the problem?
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA

Which Zeus did you flash? 6.35n or 6.35o? You could try the other and see if it works.

Maybe you also skipped an important update. Make sure you read the zeus post again.

Try to clean the data of the google store... That could be the problem.

Try another ROM please and tell us, if it works with this one. If it does work, you made a mistake while flashing. Which version exactly did you flash? Did you surely make a factory reset and a dalvik wipe? Try this one e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736985
Report back about the results. And maybe make a backup, in case you want to restore the version of zeus, you recently got installed on your phone.

Clean the data, one time it worked for me:
Settings -> Applicaitons -> Manage applications -> Google Play Store -> Clean data (or something like this)

Thanks for the quick answer, i have had flash zeus rom since v 4 and then i changed to cm7 then if i want to change to zeus back i have got this problem
And yes i have wiped all and done a factory reset and i have also cleaned cache i think the problem are when i am on the setup assistant and i want to sign in the assistant has a fc

Use titanium back up application
Skip the sign in google at starting stage
With titanium back up wipe data of play store
Clear catch of play store or google market if it is old version
Reboot
Then again sign
I have faced lots of time this issue and got it working
You can download titanium back up or similar application from net in the form of .apk form and copy to sd card and via file manager install it
But you have to allow application installation from outside source in setting in application in settings
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

The best method is also as below
In manage application in setting
Find play store
Click it
Clear catch and clear data
Reboot
Then sign in again
May it also work

If you are selecting version based on v20o then update must be of Base of v20o
I mean over v6.3o it must be v6.36o or v6.37o

You should re-flash gapps from ROM Manager. Remember to wipe dalvik cache. Dont tick wipe data and cache if you have files you need. You may also do clear data if you want.

google.com still refreshing

I have problem with default Internet browser.
When I opened the default google.com search page it refreshes the page time after time every 2 seconds...
I have to stop it force.
Then everything works correctly.
I tried to delete cache and personall settings of Internet in apps settings, but it helps only for one search and then it starts refreshing again.
Any ideas or experiences about this issue?
Thanks.

Try to go system>apps>browser>delete data and cache and test it.
Hope it works.

I tried in Titanium Backup: make backup of Internet then I uninstalled it, then restore it. But its the same, only google.com is still refreshing the page.
Maybe I try to reset my phone, but how to make 100% backup of all data and applications (game saves, etc...)?
Thanks.

YouTube can backup with titanium backup before you do a factory, y recommend it thru cwm, clearing data and Dalvik cache too.
If you are experiencing this issue in v10g/h, remember that it's a normal behaviour due to the fact is a test rom. In my case I get force close from the native browser.

[Q] Migrate to cyanogenmod - data backup

Hi!
I have a question about data backup (I mean installed user apps, contacts,...) when migration to another ROM.
So. I want to migrate to cyanogenmod 10.1 (link) from official samsung ROM. Now I am wondering if it is possible to migrate all my data stored on the phone. Therefore I will not have to install all my apps from market again one by one.
I have purchased Titanium Backup Pro and I am looking for some help.
Thank you & I hope this is not answered already.

For contacts, i recommend merging it with google and you can get it back on any device, including IOS
Backing up data
1. Open up Titanium Backup
2. Click the icon at the top right (a piece of paper with a tick)
3. Click Backup all user apps (choose the ones you want to backup)
4. Once you're done, repeat step 2 then click backup system data
5. Chose the yellow or green coloured ones, ignore the reds (read this for green ones)
6. ????
7. Profit

You might want to explore with the settings and batch actions

Make your back up from recovery
Wipe data dalvik cache and cache
İnstall the rom and gapp
After configration cm 10.1 download nandroid manager from play store
Select your back up and select install data and user aplication

Google contacts sync never works properly. Press menu in your contacts and select export to storage or SD card. You can import them from the file created on almost any ROM.

[Q] How to backup data without root?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to copy my data/savegame of Dungeon Hunter 4 from my tf701t (not rooted) to my Xperia SP (rooted) using Helium. The saving process is complete but the restore fails at ~97%.
Is there another app who can save datas of an app without root?
Thanks

I've been using the App Backup app that comes with the Asus to back up my game data. It works just fine, and I'm not rooted. If the backup is too large, I'll also just back up the specific games I'm hoping to save. A further suggestion, you can move the abu backup file to the external card, or to Dropbox. That way, if you do a factory reset, you can still restore the game data. This was after constantly having to start my Angry Birds over and over. :highfive:

A backup made in Asus Backup will not restore on non-Asus device. @Issawillin, it says right on the Play Store page of Helium that it does not work on your Sony device. Identify where your game stores data on the 701 and copy it to the same place on the xperia.

My bite. Sorry. I didn't read the OP carefully. Didn't register that it was a non Asus device.

Thank you all for these solutions. In fact i was looking for a backup for my phone on the only goal of make a titanium back up. But i didn't know that the asus bloat app could work that much. Thank you all. Asus backup app is perfect for saving datas.

how to backup when tf701t has Android 4.4
Hello
Since the update of the tf701t to android 4.4. the asus backup app is not usable anymore. Has someone a solution to this situation?
I would like to try to install the asus backup app via apk. do you think this way is possible? Or asked in another way. Is Asus preventing to install the app but it would be technicly possible or is the app totaly not compatible with adroid 4.4.?
Which alternative backup app comes closest to the functionality of the original asus backup app?
thankful for some tipps

It really depends on what kind of data you want to backup...
Try Helium. It probably is the most complete solution.
