For a second there I thought that was a link to answer my q

It is that easy, just don't backup system apps or data, only backup user apps and data and then restore on the note 2.
I've had backups from years ago and they've worked with every device I've had

Thanks man

Dropbox can be your best friend in that situation too.
Also, sync with Google too, like your contacts and stuff.

[Q] Will I be able to back up saved games before flashing a ROM or wiping my device?

Subject says it all. I'm looking at flashing Cognition but I'm hesitant if I will lose all saved games. I have titanium backup but have only used it to removed at&t bloatware. Can I use that to backup saves? And if so.. how?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use titanium backup and it has always restored my Angry Birds' saved games... I was three star-ing everything so I wasn't about to flash and lose it all either HAHA. I say use TiBu and you should be fine, though there are anomalies and I am not responsible for any lost saved games haha
Is there a "how-to" for titanium backup?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
TiBu -> Menu -> Batch -> Backup all user apps
Flash ODIN
Flash new rom (you can click wipe data, it doesnt delete your sd card stuff, in fact, i recommend it)
Install TiBu (if your rom doesn't have it included)
TiBu -> Menu -> Batch -> Restore all apps with data
Click install, install, install. Done.
If you're really anal (which i was for a while), put in an external sd card and copy the titaniumbackup folder from your root folder to the external sd card and then take it out. lol
Ah sweet. So if I'm understanding those steps... the internal sd card is not treated like internal ROM storage that is wiped when you flash your phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No, but if you did, for instance, an Odin 3 one click back to stock, and clicked the master clear button, or if you do a factory reset, etc., that would wipe the internal SD card. So, if your ocd like me, connect to your pc and mount the SD card, and transfer everything on it to the PC hard disk. Then repeat that whenever you're going to flash. Just in case, you know.
Backup all user apps or backup all user apps + system data?

Do all backup stuff. You can later select what to restore. You can go in and just restore browser favorites if you want.

[Q] Retaining calendar dates, texts and apps post flashing

Hi Guys,
I have flashed my Note for the first time, I've gone for Rocket Rom V21.
all is working fine, however I had to do a wipe for the rom to work, so I'm missing all the text messages, app/settings, and calendar dates.
I do have a backup from yesterday done with CWM.
My question is, how can I apply or retain all of the above on my newly flashed rom?
Thanks
I think that the backup you made is localised to your ROM. So you may be unable to use the backed up data in the new ROM. Or you might have to modify/move somethings. Best of luck

Well I have restored my backup sucessfully just to check it, because people always reccomend having a backup of your working system if you are going to flash new roms.
The backup is functioning perfectly with all my texts and calendar dates in tact.
So I have an opportunity to back up these items, so what would you reccomend to do this?
Should I be using Titanium backup?
Titanium Backup will backup all Apps and Settings. I believe the newer versions of titanium Backup can extract backed up files from nandroid (CWM) backups.
if you wipe then it wipes the internal memory (dont confuse this with the 11gb storage space) you need to back up the messages with an app that will allow you to do this
if you have root then i use mybackup root if you dont have root then there are plenty of apps onthe market that will backup and restore your messages
I suggest you restore the previous ROM; install Titanium Backup and execute a backup of "all user apps + system data"; flash again your favorite ROM, then restore the apps + data you want.

Does wiping cache/data wipe out all of my SwiftKey settings?

I am currently using CM9. And I wish to shift to CM10 (Jellybean) on my GT i9000.
This requires that I wipe cache/data etc. But I am worried about wiping out a year full of key strokes saved in the SwiftKey directory. How can I ensure that my SwiftKey settings are retained while installing CM10?
I think that the DATA wipe will delete everything (apps and settings - The cache wipe won't...) but you can back it up with some backup app that can restore that... i think titanium can do the job... but you should verify it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yup, I have used Titanium before; I used it while moving from CM7 to CM9. But I have no idea what happened back then. Most certainly I started my SwiftKey from scratch, I guess.
I made this post to confirm that backing up SwiftKey data is possible. And also to learn methods to do such backups.
This is the only thing pulling me back from going for CM10 from my current CM9 ROM. Every thing else is sorted for me; contacts, and other apps are all retrievable.
Just make sure Titanium Backup is set to backup app data when you run it, and it'll restore all your Swiftkey settings later.
Confirmed as I just recently did so

with titanium backup, you'll have to restore the data and you'll have the same as before
you could also restore the application.

Enormous NAND backup sizes

So since sdcard is now part of /data, when I make a NAND backup the size is almost 4GB, since I have a bunch of music stored locally from Google Music. Is there anyway to get TWRP to ignore the sdcard directory when backing up (since it doesn't get wiped anyway) so that each backup I make isn't ginormous? I'm already down to only 15GB left on this phone. I know I could have it just not backup the data partition, but then restoring from a backup would only restore the OS and not the apps and configuration I previously had (which is kinda the whole point of a backup, since otherwise I could just fresh install a new ROM).
cant you just copy them over to your computer? and keep one on the phone for safety?
Just created a nandroid backup with CWM touch, mine came out as 2.1GB, not sure why your backup is so large
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Mine are usually around 1.5GB. But I don't keep music and videos on mine.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Since the /sdcard data is sharing with the same partition as the /data doing a nandroid backup would depend on how much space is consumed by your sdcard.
So I guess nothing I can do, then? Thanks anyway.
Does this mean a Nandroid backup of the One would backup photos and media too?

Yes!
Problem is that Google Music cache is in /data/data folder, so Twrp backs it up. Solution is to create a folder on /sdcard and symlink the Google Music cache folder to it. Twrp won't back it up because it doesn't follow symlinks nor does it backup /sdcard. There are several posts on the subject, just search.

I don't believe it does, I don't think Nandroid would perform backup functions differently on different devices but coming from the SGN I - I can tell you that all Nandroid backups are basically settings and OS files as well as Apps / App Data. For the most part, when you do a Wipe / Format on your phone, it is only removing the OS files and installed Apps. It does not backup your photos / videos as it never really removes that data to begin with and so you should see your stuff there even after installing a fresh copy of the ROM. If you go into advanced functions in CWM and format your card, then you will wipe the entire device off.
IIRC CWM started taking nandroid backups very differently from a few versions ago, there's now a "blobs" folder in the backup folder and that is the one that grows exponentially in size. I believe that was done to only make incremental backups easy but the downsize is grows massive.
I cannot give you a guaranteed answer if deleting the blobs folder is safe or not but I have deleted it in the past and eventually resorted to just keeping the most recent backup by deleting all backups / blobs and then doing a fresh backup.
click compression and mines 1 gig
A nandroid backup also backs up the data directories and your downloaded Goggle Music songs are in that data directory. Therefore whenever your do a nandroid backup, the songs will be backed up as well, increasing your final size...

The recovery may very well perform nandroids differently on "data/media" services such as the htc one. Check out http://teamw.in/DataMedia

is there an app that lets you browse nandroid contents so you can confirm what has been backed up?

Ok just to answer my own question.
I just took a nandroid backup of One of my phones and restored it to my other one.
Music and Gallary did not come across.
If anyone else wants me to verify anything I'm more than happy to as I have both phones in front of me and all my settings and profiles are there, just no media.

Manually reinstalled backed up apps?

Hi all, I upgraded from a flashed to near death sensation at the weekend. I can't root etc at the moment as i'm without broadband. So my question is getting my titanium backed-up apps onto the One. I know I can get the apk files out of the back-ups but what about the saved data etc?

You can copy the titanium backup map to the storage of your one. Then let titanium backup scan the device and your backups should be there to restore.
