i have installed AOKP build 37 and have many apps and dont want to loose any of the app!!!
dont have much space so cant even backup...
wanna install built 40 will i loose everything???
you are taking a risk without backup.
But, from 37 to 40 there is no need to wipe and no loss of data.
But then again, your risk.
If you have SD card, just use Titanium backup.
Make a folder in SD card,
and in Titanium Backup, go to Settings, Backup folder location.
choose the new folder.
Then do full backup of system+user app and data.
when done, at least you have a good titanium backup.
I can't remember if CWM has advanced backup to external sd card
(and you must remember that in AOKP, the CWM recovery mixed the external with internal, but once you browse it you should know which is which).

I've been running Cog 2.2B7 ever since it first came out. I like it fine. But I am thinking of maybe going with a Perception rom to try out the HSUPA and built-in lag fix. I've accumulated tons of apps on my phone.
What is the best way to save the state of my phone so after flashing to a new rom I can restore it quickly without having to go and download 50 or so apps all over again.
I have Titanium Backup, but havent really used it much for backing up/restoring apps. Last time I used it I backed up all the AT&T bloatware apps then uninstalled them. However I was unable to re-install them from the Titanium backups. So, I thought it was a waste.
I also have the premium version of ROM Manager. I've made several Nandroid backups but everytime I go to restore one of those backups the restore process crashes, every single time.
I guess all in all, I have had **** for luck with backing up and restoring.
Any advice or instructions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Most of the ROMs have a wipe and nowipe version. If you install the no wipe version, all your apps and settings are still present after flashing. If you need to install a wipe version, Titanium backup is the best thing.. Here are the steps:
1. Open Titanium Backup
2. Click Menu button -> batch
3. Run backup all user apps (or user apps + system data - maybe dangerous)
4. It gets backed up in the internal SD card (My Files Home) in the folder Titanium backup.
5. Copy this folder to the PC or external SD, coz master clear would clear the internal SD card.
6. After flashing, copy the folder to the internal SD card (if it's not already present coz of master clear)
7. Open Titanium Backup.
8. Click Menu button -> batch
9. Run Restore Missing apps +data (or missing apps +system data)
10. Voila!! done!

Point to add:
Do NOT restore system data on different versions of ROMs. Some of them tend to fail, and this could cause FCs.
Even when restoring apps data, be careful. When u r moving between android versions, it would recommended to install just the apps, and not data. There is a high possibility of data location changes in db between versions.
Quick question... I897 with KB1 + voodoo lagfix kernel. Just did my first nandroid backup and it completed... however, it flashed some errors about accessing apps on external sdcard. This was from CWM RED (v2.5.1.3). I do have some of my larger apps stored on external SD (and all work just as fast as if they were on internal sd). Was I supposed to move these back to internal SD before doing nandroid? Does a nandroid backup just backup the internal sd? Thx gang.
Typically nandroid through CWM creates the image from shall we say the local or main portion of you devices memory.
Suggestion - If you are space deprived on the internal SD, copy the APKs to you desktop (for the image backup) and delete them from your device for now. They can always be copied back to your int SD or ext Sd. This won't remove, delete or uninstall the application itself, but rather enhance space.
Another suggestion is to create an initial backup prior to the CWM nandroid backup with Titanium Backup first, then copy and store that backup, with all your apps) safely on a PC.
Hope this helps...
Peace-
How to delete the whole backup
I just done one more backup as im on a new rom and i wan to delete the old backup i cannot find the file nandroid how do i delete it?
please reply.
Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?
I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.
You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck
Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!
Hi guys!
Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM and SuperSU. Today I installed the Titanum backup and started backuping. Now I wonder how to restore the backups if the app was deleted once? Let's say I want to install a custom ROM and it wipes all my data. How can I restore the backups I did today?

Reinstall TiBU from the Play Store after you installed the custom ROM. In TiBU, locate the backups you've made (preferably in a safe location on your external SD) and restore the apps/settings you want. Be careful though, because not all settings/apps will work on a different ROM.
Please visit the TiBU website for further info:

With TB Pro you can generate a CWM flashable TB install ZIP
What I do :
- TB backups are on a SDCard
- TB backups are copied on an external HDD from time to time and always before Rom upgrade
- TB flashable ZIP is generated at every TB update and ZIP copied to external HDD
Doing this allows me to update Rom without stress. I always also do a Nandroid backup just in case
One may say I'm paranoid but doing this way I never lost any data or software and always restored from a crashed Rom update
BTW : always remember TB needs root so this is a prerequisite !

/storage/sdcard0 (Internal)
/starage/sdcard1 (SD Card)
By default TB puts backups in /sdcar0/TitaniumBackup. If you uninstall TB your backups will remain making it a great tool when wiping/switching ROMs. Once TB is re-installed it will read your backups from that folder and you will be able to perform restore functions within the app.
If you do a factory wipe (aka full wipe) in TWRP (not sure about CWM) neither /sdcard0 or /sdcard1 will be touched.
As @Howell has pointed out there are many ways to backup your backups, and restore backups. TB has many options and ways to backup/restore your data. Similar to Howell, every couple weeks I will copy both /sdcards to my computer for safe keeping. If you buy the pro version (recommended) then you can schedule backups, and have more than one backup of an app - I have found multiple backups useful if an update to an Xposed module breaks certain functions since they aren't always device specific.
Typically I do not backup any system apps or data because as @Don MC pointed out these don't always restore properly when switching ROMs (even if it's an update to the same ROM). SMS/MMS data is an exception I guess. I have a few system apps such as my lockscreen.apk and SystemUI.apk backed up, but only because they conflicted with some Xposed modules.
i did backup before adding any roms, and now ive found the rom i wanna keep.
if i make a backup of it, will twrp tell me which backup is which? so i can safely do my nightly update without loosing my setting/media on the sd
also whats the diff bewtween titanium and a nandroid? which will keep my media backuped

You have the option in twrp to name the backup whatever you want or it names them automatically with a date stamp. Titanium backs up apps and app data as well as call logs, SMS etc. Nandroid will backup your whole system image. Media is stored on internal storage and as long as you don't wipe, it will not get erased.
