Have you been downloading all of your apps every time you flash a new ROM ?
You can restore user apps and data.
Just don't restore any system app/data
Got it?

for me the RomCustomizer by ficeto is great app for restoring, backuping, uninstalling apps, and I never restore any data. If the app which I use have option to save/restore settings I do that (and this kind of data is usualy saved on internal sd) same thing is for gps navigation programs (maps are always saved on internal sd)
so after flashing new rom, first thing is installing rom customzer, then restoring user and also some system apps (I do backup of some system apps which is updated, it saves my time from updating via playstore)
and thats it, new rom is set up in about 30min
this way I dont have any problems with any rom and any app I used
hope it helped to someone

till now I just have restored some user app+data from titanium, some download again from market. never restore system app or data.
once I have deleted my internal card and download all app again cuz some people had problem with performance of that rom and this want recommend. also I wanted a bit clean my phone.
ok, now I am confuse. it's safe restore user data or better just save data if the app has this in option and then restore?
thanks guys.

Both are safe. The latter method requires you to individually restore data while in the former you can batch restore data. Which one you want to use is up to you.

so for the best performance of a new ROM is NOT nesesary format internal card and NOT restore app+data ?
Make ROM CUSTOMIZER backup of app with or without data? (I didnt find this option like in Titanium Backup).

Possible to format phone and restore all of my data?

I'm having a lot of issues with Froyo and I want to format the phone and reinstall it. However I was wondering if it was possible for me to restore the data for the application that I installed. I'm talking about things like high scores on games.

Only if you are rooted.
You can use MyBackup Pro (not free) or Titanium Backup (freeish) to backup app "data"
Settings > accounts/privacy allows for auto restoration of settings and apps, I think it may restore app data as well...

Titanium Backup help

Hi all,
I am currently using Webstar's Ultimate ROM v7.2 but have decided to switch to Darky's latest.
I plan to do a full wipe during the installation.
I have downloaded titanium backup from the Market, and paid for the full version. But I don’t know how to use it!
I’ve just told it to do a batch backup of all user apps and data.
When I install the wipe ROM I will of course be wanting to restore EVERYTHING.
Will titanium be able to do this? Will it restore all my apps/ games/ games scores [angry birds/ grave defence Etc]?
Will it restore all my SMS/ Emails?
Will it restore my desktop wallpaper/ widgets/ launcher pro settings?
Finally when I come to do the restore, do I select the RUN – restore missing apps + all system data?
Thank you all in advance
Matt
Sometimes i have noticed that if you backup system data and restore it on another rom it can cause some issues (FC's Unresponsiveness, Apps not working) so its always best to do a wipe version... you can backup Apps + App data but i never backup system data if im moving ROM. but thats upto you...
and as for your sms/ wallpapers/ homescreen arrangement it will not save them.. but some launchers have the option to backup the homescreen so check that first... anything on your internal sd card. back up to your PC.

I agree with azzledazzle.
Use titanium backup to restore your apps and save data but i would use it for much else than that.
When you wipe your phone it will ask you to input your email account anyway on the first boot up So all your email will be back,
You will lose your sms though...
If you use gmail sync all your contact to your gmail account so they will all be put back on your phone autimatically on the first boot.
Hope that helps a bit.

+1 this is the best method. your emails will stay intact, as for a few sms there not worth keeping (unless they are dirty sms from a dirty woman) lol

[Q][SOLVED] Question about backing up data

Hi,
ok, so I've read a bit, but I want to clarify.
My wife's O2X has poor battery life, starts lagging terribly after few days, reboots sometimes, locks up sometimes, etc.
So I want to try new ROMs. Most of them.
I've already root'ed the phone.
What I would prefer is to keep contacts, messages, sync settings, wifi settings, bookmarks, photos, and, preferably applications along with their data. I know this is much to ask.
For contacts, we sync them to here Google account, so that's somewhat safe.
But for others?
I've read about Titanium backup, that it does wonders. My question, however is, does Titanium backup work only for SAME ROM? E.g., if I flash from stock to CM7 or BD, can I still restore the backup?
Does it backup/restore applications themselves, just the data?
thanks, and sorry if this was stupid.
Hi,
Titanium backup will backup your application with data (if selected).
Restoring apps to other roms should be okay, I did that before.. but I didn't try to restore contacts from one rom to another before. Cm7 is different from stock rom, so im not sure if can restore contacts and messages.
But if you use sprite backup, it can backup and restore from one rom to another without problems. Only that the options are very limited comparing to Titanium backup. It is included with Modaco roms.
Cheers!
titanium backup can restore apps from one rom to an other if the app is compatible. ive done it a lot.
not sure about all messages and such but ive seen some apps on the market that can do it. just search for backup and you get a ton of apps for backing up different stuff.

If you want to backup all what you mention in one motion, a good idea is to perform a clockwork mod backup.
And to use Appextractor in the paid version: it can restore apps + data, wifi settings, messages, and many other things.
The main issue is the size of the backup, as it is a complete and total backup of the all the system, around 700MB for me.
But doing this you have 2 things for the price of one.
Besides that way there is no app that can do all you want in one motion.
About compatibility, backups should be compatible with other ROM except for specific data perhaps.
Hello!
The best available BackUp solution for contacts, SMS, calendar data etc. is MyPhoneExplorer.

Best App for backup of apps is Titanium Backup – as already mentioned.
thank you all very much.
I've got all the info I've needed.

[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.

Attention!!!
If you use Titanium Backup dont do a mass restore (all file at once) while it dont will put it onto SD card! the apps and the phone memory will be full and some error etc.
restor oance a time the apps. and move it manualy to SD card.

No its no necessary..it'l b a lengthy process so do some apps at once like 20.. no error ever occured to me..
in titanium backup setting there is a option which let you choose if you want to install apps in sdcard, phone memory or android way
choose android way then TB will install some apps in phone memory and some apps in sdcard so need to restore app individually
also TB is better than nandroid backup and never ever restore system data with TB
use titanium backup (i recommend pro version)to backup all user apps...then u flash new rom.....then u run restore missing apps with data...not anything else...
I tried yesterday to restore 30 apps from batch and fail.
Apps was backuped form stock rom.
TB dosent remember to restore the apps here it was? exemple cut the rope is sd up but puts it on phone?
I'am refering that what should be on sd to restor to sd what no no.
I use Titanium Backup Pro. Restore and run batch until notify Batch verification finished 0 error found. But not found restore files anywhere. Does I missing some step?
I always restore around 80apps at once and never had any problem..

Yes its possible.
Simply install titanium backup or Mybackup application from the market. The pro versions are better at a small fee
Then from the current ROM back up all the apps you want. this back up is stored in the SD card and so wount be affected by Flashing a custom ROM.
Now flash the desired ROM and again install either of the applications you used to backup the apps from the market. i.e if you used titanium backup to back up your apps, then install titanium back up from the market.
then select restore option to restore your applications!
Hope this helps.
yeah, try Titanium Backup.
Tqvm for suggestion. Then, what is different compare to CWM backup? Which better?

I tried restoring when I went from Blazer ROM to CM10 but it just gave me errors and force closes. Is there a specific way in TB to restore in a different ROM or do you basically have to start off with a clean slate?
