Hi all
Have had a good look around but can't find anything concrete!
Is it possible to restore a nandroid backup from on SGS I9000 uk model 8gb on Vodafone to another uk Vodafone sgs?
I never made a back up of the original and wondered if if could be done this way!?
Thanks!!

I think nandroid uses the Serial Number of the phone, so maybe you couldn't do that.
You can try and report if it works .
Maybe you can open backup and change serial number .

Ok cheers will give it a try over the weekend! How would you change serial no in backup?

Open backup and edit the serial in notepad if its in a format that notepad can read .
If you can open the backup .

Hi ppl
Is there any way to have all apps installed the way it was before switching to a new rom ? I mean when I try out new roms I have to install all apps again. I've tried my backup pro and titanium but they only restore all apps. Anyone has a faster way of doing this??

I'm using MyBackup root therefor. Here you can restore all apps with the data in batch mode. But I think MyBackup pro should also do it.
Did u backup your apps along with all their data? There is an option in Titanium Backup to do so in the batch option. I still have my high scores of Temple Run
MyBackup Pro seems to be the best bet considering Titanium does create issues for some folks.
But do remember restoring apps can produce errors in the working of the ROM which otherwise wouldn't exist.
Safest best is to clean instal your apps again.
Tx guys but I cannot get all apps installed . It only restores them with their respective data. I don't wanna install all apps again one by one after flashing a new rom

Titanium backup has a batch restore mode where you can restore more than one app at a time. If this is not what you mean, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I haven't used titanium but I'll check it out. Just to make sure do the apps get installed or just restored? I mean do I have to hit the install button for every app?

Listen buddy, this is a community here. Respect others to get respect for yourself.
Your posts are quite inconsistent.
In the same thread, at the start of the post you mentioned you have used Titanium & a couple of posts later you state you HAVE NOT yet used titanium.
with incorrect/incomplete info no one would be able to assist you correctly & your frustration levels are going to rise.
@letmedanz I didn't mean to disrespect anyone but the way nonverbose responded wasn't cool.
Anyway what I meant when I said I used titanium was that I installed it and removed it within minutes. But I'm not here to prove anything so am gonna forget it and apologize to whoever I offended.

That's cool buddy..
Anyhow, a couple of options are available...
at most times when you install a fresh rom, android automatically installs the apps you had on earlier.
This happens when you run the new rom for the first time, in the initial setup.
Provided you have synced your phone with your gmail account.
once you provide your wifi and/or apn details android will automatically download and instal all the apps.
your second option is as you mentioned, third party apps like titanium & mybackup pro.
personally, i prefer MBP cos titanium has given me more than one problem.
MBP is a neat app, you can either backup/restore all apps or just select a few.
howevre , i still believe it is best to reinstall all apps after a new rom instal, cos restored apps may force close or have other issues specially if you are changing between GB & ICS etc
+1 for Titanium backup !!!
You can backup personnal applications, but their settings and your system settings too !!!
The retore process is quicker than google process because you haven't to download applications from network.
Settings...Image?

I have titanium backup pro and have not figured out how to restore all the settings. Maybe I'm confused, but I have to spend hours setting all the preferences, screens widgets etc each time I flash a new ROM. I've heard you can "Image" backup. Does Titanium do that?
Go backup and go backup pro is best..It don't prompt to install each and every app every time..batch restore with data..easy than titanium backup..

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you post. Titanium backup pro HAS batch restore mode in which you don't have to INDIVIDUALLY install every app.

You can always do a dirty flash but you run the risk of it failing.
I searched around google, and I didn't find a concrete answer to this matter. It sux for me with hifen words which i save alot fo them to restore everytime I want to change ROM.
Any1 knows a answer? Where's the file? anyway to backup the words?
bump
You could just do a complete nandroid backup before you switch to the other Rom, I guess you will get the words back when you restore

How I do that? with CWM backup? But restoring it won't restore a full ROM ?
The personal dictionary is stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.userdictionary/databases/user_dict.db database. You can backup that. Or you can use the latest swype beta which gives the option of doing backup of your dictionary in your online account, so that switching between ROMs is not a hassle
So if i make a cwkmod backup if i install a custom rom can i restore just the data ?
Thanks if you can answer

You can, but with a very probable bootloop. Better to use just titanium backup.
Is that an android app or on pc? And cheers

Titanium backup is a root app that creates backup of apps+data, like you would by manually copying files, but with a nice UI. Pretty handy for changing roms.

use titanium backup... its going to work fine for user apps+data but will mostly give problems with system app+data restore... so take backup of system data like contacts and sms by some other means... dont just depend on titanium for these ...
press thanks if i helped !!!
Hey i needed 2 knw if ders a way 2 create a .zip consisting of my user apps n data so dat i can jz flash it after i install a new rom...i switch roms very often n its very time consuming n irritating 2 restore evry app frm titanium one by one...plzz help me out...!!!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
in titanium you can batch restore apps.
Select the box with a check mark on it in upper right corner of the app and in there look for an option to restore
If you have full version of Titanium it's more convinient because it auto-installs apps when restoring
Yeah...dats what i usually do...but its much easier ven u hv a zip 2 flash along vit d rom...so dat ven i reboot,Il hv all dat i need...especially in some roms which don't hv a file manager inbuilt...so strictly i ws lukin 4 a .zip maker...
But thanx neways...

what you want is possible if you do nandroid backup ... but pratically its not very reliable and efficient coz while changing roms you may shift from 2.3 to 4.1 and nandroid restore may give force closes/... titanium backup is a more reliable way.. and you can always use the batch restore function... its more reliable !! and with batch restore you can restore almost 100 apps within 15 min..
press thanks if i helped !!!
Titanium Backup Pro has a batch restore function (App+Data)
