Shouldn't be an issue as long as you don't try to backup up system apps.

Yes, I did that last week. I copied my entire Titanium folder from my OneX sdcard to my PC. Then I copied it to my One and did the restore, but only of Apps + Data.
When you select the restore option you have a chance to uncheck any Apps you don't want so it doesn't hurt to look through the list to make sure you only install want you want.
You can also go to the Backup/Restore menu and restore Wi-Fi Access Points. It saves you from having to reenter Wi-Fi passwords.
EDIT: If your launcher lets you save and restore your screen layout then copy that folder from your sdcard as well. I use Atom launcher and that worked fine except that it doesn't restore widgets, but that seems to be true of most launchers I've tested.

Ok so i love all these damn android roms but I also love me the widgets and icons on the home screen. Problem is, most of them want me to wipe before installing which kills my home screen layout. Is there an app or a method that I can do to quickly restore my home screen??
thanks all for any advice!!
If you're using the same launcher before and after upgrade you could backup that database (/data/launcher.package.name/) and then restore it after your new rom and reboot. You'll need to be using exactly the same version.
Also, YMMV with some launchers. You may actually have to use a different launcher as default while you complete the restore process.
In short, it's a pain in the arse.
how do you back it up?
Get http://forum.xda-developers.com/Titanium Backup â
rootTitanium Backup
App is the best at what it does. Saves so much time when going into a new fresh rom.
i actually have that. Can I save my homescreen with that? How?
thx
In titanium press menu > batch > run backup all user apps + system data. Once you flash your new rom just redownload titanium then go menu > batch > run restore all missing apps + system system data. Once that's done Just reboot and when it turns back on everything should be good. You might need to put the Widgets back on manually though.

There is an option to restore only data from a backup - your homescreen data is saved with the launcher backup. You can easily test this yourself by backing up your launcher application (stock or custom), change your wallpaper, remove a widget, remove an application, then restore the backup and select restore and you will be prompted for app or data only. In my attached image, it is asking if I want to restore data only.
my advice is to take a snapshot of each homescreen page before wiping.
I use rom switching as a way to start fresh and go through my apps and see which ones I really use, and not redo the ones I don't.

Get rootexplorer and on INTERNAL memory/sdcard (dropad has an internal sd for system) go to data/data/ en find a folder called launcher and copy the content to the external sdcard and after a wipe and fresh rom copy back to data/data etc..
Cheers

Interseting--may have to try that--
You can only restore System thru TB if using same rom. If diff or an older version, it may not work right--
I like MyBackUp Pro for Home Screens
Hi
I installed titanium backup and now I want to backup the following items:
- All applications
- All System data like wireless passwords, etc
- All user data like contacts, sms, mms, dictionary and so on.
Can you please let me know which menu I should use?
thanks.

Will batch work on the TB free version?
If I remember correctly - in free version you can batch backup, but you can't batch restore, or the batch restore is limited speed.
When you batch restore with the free version, you have to confirm each one. Fun.

Thanks Man
Menu > Batch > Backup all user apps + system data : is there any difference between this and a nandroid backup? i mean does it make an image with EVERYTHING you have on your phone?
No it doesn't make an image of everything on the phone like a nandroid backup
A nandroid backup backs up the system, data, cache, and a few other things like ext and recovery depending on how you set it but a titanium backup just backs up apps and data (which are on the data and cache partitions).
You can also create an update.zip to put in your recovery folder and flash that way too. You can set a schedule to back up new, new versions or all. IMHO, pay the money. It has helped me in several instances. You can convert system to data or vice versa, un/attach apps to market and my favorite is you can clean your Dex right from the app.
Somewhere way back I thought folks were having issues restoring System with TB and recommended just doing apps/data--
Right or Wrong?
I like MyBackUp Pro as a quicker (non-nandroid) bu of system/sms/mms/call logs/home screens/settings etc

Well, the issue is that some of the restored settings were conflicting with what was in there. If you restore system back to the same version (of CM or Android), then it should be problem free. But if you are restoring between nightlies of CM or major releases of stock, then options may have changed and restoring *can* cause conflicts that result in funky operations or bootloops. This doesn't happen all the time, but it has happened enough to me that I don't recommend it.
My recommendation is to just backup all your apps and app data (I also include TB's backup of wifi access points, bluetooth pairings, google accounts, call logs and sms messages). It really doesn't take too long to go and check all your settings. Plus it gives you the opportunity to see what new features were added.
And in all honesty, I am not sure MyBackup Pro would be any different in the above... both just backup the data and restore it. I think if one were to cause an issue, the other one would as well.
Thanks for info bass,
I never restore system with TB, only backup/restore apps--no issues
I started using My BackUp before rooted, so as to have a bu of things if root went wrong. Just kept using it
Never had an issue restoring system with My BackUp, even after a month of nightlies
Main thing I like it for is Home Screens--saves time after fresh flash

That is definitely a benefit to using a 3rd-party launcher. I use ADW EX and everything for that app is saved in the app data, so as soon as I restore the app I am back to normal (well, except for my widgets and the background, but there are only two widgets that I use). But I do definitely sympathize on not wanting to redo all your settings. I hate it when I forget something simple like changing the wifi back to never turn off.
Agreed--
I use ADW with CMN's but not EX. Haven't looked real close at its restore capabilities. But, My Back Up does CM/Sense/MIUI restores with Home Screens with no problems
Just comfortable with it--
titanium backup restored my adw ex just fine minus the widgets.
thank you i was looking for that.
How does this work? I have a full Titanium Backup and I remove a few Apps if I do Full backup again will my Removed Apps be totally gone in the Backup Folder or are they still there from Original Backup? If they are still in the Backup is there a way to get them out so if I need to restore the Removed Apps don't reappear on my phone?
Thanks
They will remain there.
To remove them you can either scroll to the bottom in Backup/Restore and select each one then hit "Delete" or Menu->Batch->"Delete backups for un-installed apps" then Menu->Refresh apps list
To batch restore apps without restoring specific ones Menu->Batch->"Restore all apps with data" then uncheck the apps you don't want to restore, and begin.

To MAKE SURE they are still there you need to HIT the menu button once you have opened up Titanium Backup, then HIT Preferences, scroll down to MAX BACKUP and change it from the default (1) to whatever hou want/need. I have mine set to three. This way it can save older versions of the appear. I have found that on occasion the newer version of apps sometimes have an issue so I go and use the previous version saved. This will also keep your uninstalled appear at the bottom with a line through them. You can usually just click on the lined through app and hit restore. Then choose either app or app+data. Also I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the paid version. It will do the batch restore with one click of the restore appear+data. The free version will also batch restore them all but it goes through each app and you have to say okay each time for each app. Specially if you start trying out different rims every couple days like a lot of us do. Also the paid version (not sure.of the free version) let's you back it up to the external sd card. You just go to preferences, backup folder name, then type in external_sd/ in front of the TitaniumBackup that is already there and it will automatically change it to mnt/sdcard/external_sd/TitaniumBackup.
JUST MAKE SURE whenever you restore NEVER choose to restore system app and data. ONLY restore app+data or you will end up with force closes.

I do not have the paid version but I have a question about the free version. After I backup all the apps and system data, I removed a system application such as "My Files" which didn't cause any problems. If I try to click on the backed up (crossed off in TB) to restore it, I do not have the option to restore.
Is this normal or should I be able to restore a system application that I have backed up?
I've never restored a system app, and maybe that's a paid feature. If there isn't a simpler method, it's pretty easy to copy back in if you're running a custom rom.
Open the customrom.zip, copy system/apps/MyFiles.apk from it and put it in /system/app on the phone.
There are around 50 way to do that. Via USB copy the file to the phone and then use Root Explorer to copy it from /sdcard to /system/apps for example. If you don't see it again in the apps folder, reboot.
I never thought to open the custom rom zip file. thank you!
A tangential question
I've done the TiBu backup but don't see quickoffice in the backup file. Does anyone know why?
I love my HD2 and i always flash it~
In order to increase speed and avoid widget Disappear of A2SD+, I put a lot of common apps into ROM by using Titanium Backup.
But after I install the New ROM，i need to restore them one by one.
In Titanium Backup batch function, System apps won't get restored in Batch. Only system settings + data will get restored in batch.
I mean can we batch backup system/app and restore(include changed data) to system/app ???
Is there another backup software can batch data apps move to the rom As Well As batch restore apps into the rom? Thank you.

How would i restore my blinkfeed settings from a titanium backup backup? I dont see anything labeled as blinkfeed.. I tried restoring data to newsplugin but that wasnt it. Any help would be appreciated.
when i changed to trickdroid i made a backup of user apps + system apps, then when i restored everything blinkfeed preference were there, i think that
"LocalFeedProvider" & "SocialFeedProvider" could contains preferences
When I restore my HTC backup, blinkfeed automatically restores my feeds etc. Do you mean that?
