[Q] Titanuim Backup On KD7 HD Question - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if used titanium backup then flashed to a new CM10 build, will titanium restore everything back to look just like the previous rom had?Just wondering in order to save myself from setting everything all up again when an update comes out.
Thanks ahead of time for the info.

Yes, you can use it to backup any apps along with their data, I think this includes your launcher. Need someone to confirm that though.

Thanks

[Q] backing up for every flash

Hi, a small question.
As some of you here that uses Rocket rom and has been flashing every new update by Eybee, i have settings made for apps that i uses, i usually do a fullwipe, and it's tedious to redo all settings from ground up once i flash and redownloading apps. Are there ways i could save the apps and it's settings at the same time, hence i do not need to redo everything for every fullwipe/flash?

Yes. Redo backups for new data. Some apps won't hold it no matter what.
System settings is something I don't do a restore for just to be safe. I can have all my regular settings loaded in no time now.
I'd Suggest mybackup pro as a better alternative

TB doesn't back up system apps by default. You can have it backup whatever you want though. Years ago I paid for it so I still use it. Can't comment on the other as I haven't felt the need to try anything else.

How to save apps when changing roms

I hate it when all apps are removed to change ROM. I want to try Nik's JB and I dont want apps to be removed whatsapp....
try Ultimate Backup Tool for non-rooted and Titanium Backup for rooted
In this case it should be enough to do a nandroid backup. You can test JB and if you finished testing, you just restore your old stuff. The JB ROM is amazing but it's not a daily driver yet so it's kinda needless to install all your apps on it
I backed some using titanium but how how to restore them?
What about the backup and and restore on the recovery? What is that used for?

After backing up with titanium on your old rom
Download titanium on your new rom and you can re-install, but beware that restoring data from different roms may cause FC's
Can you set Titanium to only restore the apks, no data and cache? That should avoid most issues I suppose?
The interface is a little ... busy... so I havent really given it a go yet.

Buy the premium version of titanium backup then you can batch install apps instead of installing one at a time.

Yep. What I usually do, is go on the batch section click restore app, and choose app only. And then use app+data for my games, so I don't lose my scores and saves.
You could always restore the data partition from your old ROMs nandroid backup. Works for me.
For rooted phone, I'd suggest Go Backup.
Titanium Backup is much more powerful, but some essential features, like batch backup/restore, require paid version. And it loads pretty slowly on my Incredible S.
Go Backup offers backing up both apps and their data, as well as SMS/call log/contacts/wi-fi access points. Go dev team has recently added backup merging feature, which works fine either.
Today I installed 4.1.1-based ROM from Nikhil, downloaded Go Backup from the Market, ran backup restoration and voila, in 5 minutes I got all my apps back, including paid ones.
This app is constantly being updated, which is also a weighty argument (at least for me).

That seems like a great idea, anything not to do, or just copy and place..

I'm using 4ext, I just choose advanced restore and choose data partition.
So if I restore my ROM from a previous backup, it will restore all my apps with data too?

Thanks for the info, when Nicks new roms settle in a bit and I try them again I'm going to try your method.

Is it really the same restoring an app from a backup as from Google play? Market links work and the app is registered by the os, integrated into the share menu (facebook for instance) and so on?
Just trying to learn how android works... Something like that would never work in windows, registry entries would probably break...
Nonverbose can you please explain more about the nandroid backup. I tried titanium and it worked.
I am curious about your method.
Best

nandroid is the backup/restore function in you recovery A nandroid backup will save your COMPLETE ROM with all apps, data and everything else. After a backup you can install whatever you want on your phone and install new things, whatever. And if you had enough, you can restore your backup and your entire phone will be just like when you did the backup It's also a great method to switch between ROMs for example your daily driver (let's say ProjectX) and JB Evolution You can configure both ROMs like you want it, do backups and switch between them The process of backing up/restoring a ROM takes about 5min.
I hope this answered all your questions
Yup I tried this one today but I didnt know it was called nandroid. Thanks

you would have to wipe before moving to AOKP or AOSP if you want to keep your apps+data you can with titanium backup pro if you are rooted.
How?

now that you asked for the procedure for backing up with TBP, i will assume that you are rooted already. Get the app from market, choose the backup location, run the batch operation (check mark on top right) choose backup apps+data (do not backup system apps as restoring them on custom rom is not advisable). Flash the rom of your choice, install TBP again choose the backup location, restore the apps+data from batch operation.
Edit: just fyi you can also ask the same question in your thread you started, the thread you open is not limited to one question, you will get answers to your question if you continue asking questions instead of creating a new thread.

if you move down further you will also find backup userapps+Data option. i just found the screen shot on google:
Here it is from older version but should be there.
Edit: follow the instructions on how to in the Custon Rom Thread.
backup the user apps + data so that you are able to retain the app user data as well.

[Q] Possible to flash a ROM without losing data?

I have 4.2.2 HK localised version installed on my XZ.
Is it possible to flash the European version without losing any data/installed programs?

When you flash it with Flashtool, unselect wipe DATA, anyway you can backup your phone with your google profile, that will auto redownload all your apps.

Thanks for that.
I thought Google only backs up app data, but not the apps themselves? And the order of apps on my launcher would also get lost. I have yet to find a backup solution that really backs up everything, just like iTunes does....

[Q][ROM] Best way to migrate between ROMs

Hi All,
I've recently just came back to android after a hiatus with iOS, and I've installed the monxdified ROM and was hoping to try out the iHackers ROM. I have about 15gb of apps (some of them linked with link2sd) and was wondering if there was a relatively simply way to migrate my apps between fresh installs of Roms? Thanks!
:good:
One of my authors posted about using OBackup and Nandroid Manager. That is the quickest way and that's how I do it. You can read about it here http://www.hackmyandroid.com/switch...-loosing-any-data-using-nandroid-manager/5397

I'd say Titanium Backup. The free version should do, but restoring using the free version is a big pain if you have a lot of apps. I honestly don't know how Titanium Backup works with link2sd, you'd probably have to manually set that up every time you install a new ROM. The paid version of Titanium Backup can batch restore all your backed up apps without any problems whatsoever.
Maybe someone else here knows if there's an easy way to maintain your link2sd settings.
