Hi all,
Fairly new Nexus 7 owner.
I have used twrm to flash various roms (paranoidandroid, cleanrom codenameandroid and various others).
I back up my apps/media beforehand with My Backup Root.
After flashing I restore my apps(via My Backup Root) and then I find when I click on the centre button on the Home screen I have APPS (which are all my restored apps), then DOWNLOADED (which has all my apps again) followed by WIDGETS
Can anyone shed any light on this for me
TIA
Seamus

Firstly sorry for my lack of professionality, I am playing with android forcouple of days only...
successfully rooted XT860, installed Titanium Backup, started freezing and uninstalling stuff...I must have uninstalled something, which causes the "process com.motorola.contacts" to stop. I want to restore last uninstalled apps using Titanium Backup - but the culprit ones (which ones could that be? I am trying to restore everything related to contacts) do not want to be restored - TB just says "restoring app" and after 30minutes nothing...
So, please: (a) Is there a way to revert the phone to its original state? (b) how to make TB to restore these stubborn apps?
Thanks
I am here waiting for you.

yes, it is - the only difference is he deleted different app than me to end up in the exactly same trouble. I already went through that thread (and related ones) but even if it says "solved", there is no routine to follow I can comprehend - it mostly describes failures trying some scripts. I am not familiar with editing scripts etc. YET (using android for couple of days only) ... I would very much welcome sort of step-by-step description (if the word "solved" is true) - I am willing to contribute with my experience using it or in any other way, but currently I am a beginner:
- is there a simple way how to restore single apps I already have from .zip posted in the abovementioned thread?
- is there a way to restore the phone to its original state (system image available in the abovementioned post)?... just to make sure that I wont get lost if I try the ROM, mentioned in this thread above
Hello everybody.
I am using the Samsung Galaxy S for a couple of weeks now. Since that, I have only flashed a rooted Stock-Kernel once and did nothing else yet. Previously I've been using a HTC Tattoo and before I continue to try out different ROMs on my SGS I'd like to verify one thing.
The issue I wonder about is, that so many people are flashing so many different ROMs and try them out before they finally decide for one (or continue testing further ROMs). The problem I always faced with my Tattoo was, that after each new ROM installation I always had to reinstall all apps and lost complete personalized app data.
To speed up the re-setup of my phone I tried the app "App Backup & Restore", but this only backups the APKs and gives me the option to reinstall all apps manually. For example in case of apps like "Sleep as Android" or K9-mail it sucks to loose all personal data.
Therefore I am looking for an alternative way to store apps in that way, that I can always restore the latest status before flashing (including all personalized data). In the course of that, I found the following apps, but I am not sure, if these will cover my requirements. And to be honest, I'm not courageous enough to start with any try&error approach Does any of you have some experience with one of these apps and can describe which functionalities are really covered by these tools? From the market descriptions it didn't become clear to me, if my requirement is covered or not.
Titanium Backup or AppExtractor
Alternatively, could you let me know in which way you do it? Do all of you "flashers" always reinstall all apps manually from the scratch without the previously personalized data stored? I hope not.....
Thanks and Regards!
Titanium backup you can backup either the data from the app or just the app then when you restore you can restore the app or the app plus data
Because when I update my rom it normally comes with updated versions of the apps I already had, I just restore the data so then you have the updated app with the same data a f settings that you had before

thanks for the quick response.
and do you or anybody else know if this is also mapped correctly to Android Market? from previous tries i know that recovered apps are not always shown as "installed" there. but i guess it depends on the mechanism behind?!

Hello everybody.
I found it out another way in the meantime. Unbelievable, but true all links to market will be obcviously kept. As I understood, because of the installation mechanism. It's possible to install via a link to market and then to restore the customized data.
But which app can be recommended? Sure, I guess Titanium Backup?! What about jrummy's App Manager Pro? Any experiences? Seems to be quite new and covers also my requirements?
You know any criteria I didn't consider yet?
Thanks dudes

Hi everyone,
I've owned a HTC One since 3 months now, and I started trying to customize it a little. So, I followed the different guides I found on this site, and successfully managed to unlock my bootloader, install TWRP and finally flash a custom rom.
I flashed the Android Revolution HD v12.1 , and everything worked fine. Then, I made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro, no problem again. So I decided to push a little further by installing the CM 10.1 nightly version for the One; indeed, that's a nightly, for sure. I then got back to my previous custom rom and used my TB's backup to restore my datas.
I did not notice the problem immediately, but it was obviously present from the beginning : it appears that I'm not receiving anymore any notifications coming from any app I installed from the Store. I tried to uninstall then install the apps again, did not work. I looked a little bit in TB's option and I found one called "Manage Android ID", TB told me my One had a different Android ID from the previous one; I tried to restore the previous one, but still, I don't receive any notification from my apps !
I have no problem with message, call, missed call... notifications.
So, how can I fix this quite annoying problem ?
Thanks a lot.
A little bump, I need you guys!
try formatting your phone and installing an app, then check for notifications.
Ideally before changing from ARHD to CM, you should format the phone. Also titanium backup tends to have issues when you restore across different implementations.
Currently, I have ARHD. I just tried CM but TB tends to bug the entire system while restoring, anyway that's not the problem.
Of course, even though I didn't mention it, I made a FULL Wipe with TWRP each time I installed a new ROM.
I think -obviously I'd say- that the problem is caused by TB, but I'd like to know if there is any possibility to fix it without wiping the phone and installing ARHD, without using TB; Doing it this way would solve the problem I guess, but if I could avoid to lose quite a lot of data, I'd be glad !
Thanks for trying to help me.
Evening All.
I have not long since got my HTC One (UK version of it makes any difference).
It is S-Off, bootlooader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery but currently running stock firmware. I've had a play with ARHD and liked it. However it's a bit of a nause having to re download apps every time I update. The internet were I am is very slow so this takes time.
I know backup solutions exist however I get conflicting reports about the apps. Having come from an iPhone (which I still use as a work phone) I am looking for a backup solution that with either a brand new phone or a factory reset and a new/custom Rom I just hit restore and it puts all my apps data and settings as it was when I backed up. Including things like my layout in widget locker and nova launcher.
I was going to be using helium but then read that you still have to download the APK for all the apps again from Google so that seems a pretty defunct choice.
It's there an app which will backup my phone, I can remove this to my laptop. Then factory reset, reinstall the app (I'm assuming you have to do this) and then I put the backup back on the phone and restore it?
Cloud options are no use due to the slow internet.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.

I use ES File Explorer to backup all the app apk's and HTC backup to my google drive for settings / mms / contacts/ etc
Titanium Backup
I installed Lollipop and had some random crashes (google search), and some laggyness.
So I decided to do a factory reset from the settings screen.
I was hoping to use the new Lollipop backup and restore feature, but after resetting it only offered the tap & go restore.
Does anyone know if there's a way to force a Google/Android restore from the Google backups online?
Thanks for any help.
