If I deleted the apps at system without backup, for example I deleted the file at /system/app/SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk without backup and then i flashing custom rom the SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk wont install again in my phone rite?
If I want install back the SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk what should I do?
When backup the system files to ext sd card we can just move it to ext sd card or we need to copy the file to ext sd card frist then delete it?
Any link that backup all system files for gnote?
Apps are related to your rom buddy.....
If you may delete them by any means and you will gonna flash any new rom or downgrade to any rom....the apps in that rom will automatically be there.

What Shiv said about installing different rom is correct. If you want to backup stock apps with .odex files then best is to copy all these apps (.apk and .odex files) to SD card using root explorer, so that you can copy them back whenever required. As I know most of the backup apps fails to restore .odex apps. And if you are on some deodexed custom rom then Titanium backup is best.
I have backup of all stock apps in my SD, I just selected all files in system/app and copied them to SD as backup

I have one more question, if i want to delete stock apps just simply delete .apk and .odex file or just delete .apk file?

it's much better to really delete everything that is associated with that file... so yes, the apk and the odex one.

Copy titanium backup data to ur pc only and format internal sd it makes no problem other filea are backup files if u like then copy that backup folder or just format not a big deal.

Ok, so my rom got corrupted and didn't have any backup of the data so I made a nandroid backup and flashed a new rom.
Now I have the nandroid backup in hand and I need to extract the apps and data from there. I used app extractor and it was able to extract and restore apps stored on internal memory (sd-ext since I use amarrullz script).
Here are some issues that I am still facing:
1. Appextractor wasn't able to restore my old sms. Any idea where they might be located? and guide/app to restore?
2. My apps which were located on the external sd card arn't there yet. I guess it has something to do with android_secure? I have most(or all?) of the apps which were installed in the external card in ".asec" format and I have no idea what to do with them. Can anyone guide me where the apps and thier data is located and how to restore them? I tried advanced restoring "data" from nandriod but that leads to bootloop.
Update : Sms issue was solved
The apps on sd end up in asec partition:
Data and lib files go in mnt/asec/[app name directory]
Dalvik cache goes to internal on data/dalvik-cache
Data goes on internal data/data
You can extract the contents of the nandroid backup to your pc and then use adb to push the files where they belong.
Good luck.

1. I only have asec files which i have placed in mnt/secure/asec
2. Is dalvik-cache necessary?
3. data is copied
4. the libs and data of mnt/asec are not present in nandroid backup (atlest i couldn't find).

I can't seem to restore my backup back to my phone...
My backup files are inside both the internal and the external SD cards. In both cards there's a folder named clockworkmod, which has a folder named backup inside, which has a folder named with the timestamp (Apr-19-Fri.19.44 for me). In the timestamp folder there are the backup files.
But, it says that no backup files are found when I tried to recover using ROM Manager, the S3 Mini Toolkit, and from the TWRP recovery.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

You are obviously using CWM to make that backup. TWRP will never restore it. Just re-flash CWM and you are good to go
I made it with the toolkit... So I'll just flash the CWM 6.x.x.x recovery to my phone and restore from my phone's recovery mode?
I wonder if there is any way to find the official v20 euro open in zip file in order to flash it wherever I am via cwm without using a computer .thanks in advance
You can clean install v20 and back up with cwm. Firmwares come in kdz.
and then? i will make a wipe and after that i will backup from sd and thats all?
You should backup from sd first. If you are having any games, use titanium backup to backup and then backup using astro or file expert the apk and data file (obb file). You can install the game using apk and data file and then restore titanium backup to resume the game where you left. If you do install from LGFlashTool, it will format the phone. Just simple cwm backup after factory reset. I think it is better to install from pc than cwm. I hope you understand.
I did a nandroid backup.
Copied it to pc.
Did a full wipe of phone.
Messed about with new rom but didn't like it.
Hooked phone to pc and copied the nandroid to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (manually creating the backup folder)
Booted into recovery - no restore available.
I did a backup from recovery as a test.
Booted up, hooked phone to pc and cannot see the newest backup location from internal storage.
Back into recovery and I can see the test backup but not my actual backup.
I've done nandroid backup and restores dozens of times and have never come across this.
What am I doing wrong?
did you put the backup in the same file that the test backup is in. i dont think you can manually make a backup folder as the recovery makes it when you make a backup. i could be wrong because i always leave my backups on my phone
Did you just copy the files, or did you put the files into it's own folder within the backup folder?

I wondered if manually creating the backup folder was the issue so I deleted it and then created a backup in recovery. The issue is that the backups creating inr ecovery are not visible on the pc when I look.

I copied the file so it was placed like so:
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2013-05-29.15.31.41
I can see the backup files using Root Explorer from the ROM I was testing.
They're in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup which should be the same as sdcard/clockworkmod/backup on the pc, right?
I'll try copying the backup to sdcard/Download on pc then move it to the mnt/shell etc folder in root explorer.
ok, copying to download folder from pc to phone then copying from download folder to the backup location on phone worked.
no idea why sdcard/clockworkmod/backup is not recognised in CWM recovery anymore.
I did update to the 6.0.3.1 version recently so maybe that's why.
