[Q] Migrate to cyanogenmod - data backup - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have a question about data backup (I mean installed user apps, contacts,...) when migration to another ROM.
So. I want to migrate to cyanogenmod 10.1 (link) from official samsung ROM. Now I am wondering if it is possible to migrate all my data stored on the phone. Therefore I will not have to install all my apps from market again one by one.
I have purchased Titanium Backup Pro and I am looking for some help.
Thank you & I hope this is not answered already.

İ use nandroid manager for it . i didn`t see any problems. But you have to make a nandroid back up before flashin new rom .

For contacts, i recommend merging it with google and you can get it back on any device, including IOS
Backing up data
1. Open up Titanium Backup
2. Click the icon at the top right (a piece of paper with a tick)
3. Click Backup all user apps (choose the ones you want to backup)
4. Once you're done, repeat step 2 then click backup system data
5. Chose the yellow or green coloured ones, ignore the reds (read this for green ones)
6. ????
7. Profit

Make your back up from recovery
Wipe data dalvik cache and cache
İnstall the rom and gapp
After configration cm 10.1 download nandroid manager from play store
Select your back up and select install data and user aplication

Google contacts sync never works properly. Press menu in your contacts and select export to storage or SD card. You can import them from the file created on almost any ROM.

Phone reboots on installation of ANY app!!

I know it sounds weird. But, It is really happening with me. I tried to google but didn't find proper solution. Neither I'm expecting here. But, Any suggestions though?
PS: I already DID restore my nandroid backup.. But, Its the UOT kitchen what I'm doubting. Does anyone know how to see a log before my phone rebooted? It might help.
I experienced this too back then in CM7.2. Do you use link2sd or similar app? If so, try removing them and clean your init.d folder. And then clear dalvik cache.

I am using CM7.2 already! and yes I have created sd-ext of 1GB and moved all apps via S2E.
But, the problem with this is, clearing my dalvik-cache from CWM Recovery clears my whole sd-ext partition!
I too faced this problem when i had.over 120 apps and was using s2e...i suugest u switch to link2sd ...

Then try to reinstall everything.. Backup with Titanium, clean S2E and scripts (or reflash ROM), restore fron Titanium, then apply S2E again.

I have roughly 130 apps installed currently. I used Jusada's ICS Final before my current ROM - CM7.2 by FrozenAce Team. The reason I switch to this ROM is, I had uncertain bootloops in previous ROM. It was really unusual experience for me. I put the phone in my pocket and when I get it out, its in bootloop. Anyway, I'm thinking to switch on "Ace of Spades V2- performance".
What my questions are:
1) Are you using Link2SD? Is it really as effective as S2E?
2) When I run batch to restore all user apps + data from SDcard, Is it really fast in moving apps and creating soft links?

No, I'm not using any scripts. I'm not on custom kernel.

Well, to be honest that would be pointless. I have already restored Nandroid backup which doesn't have this problem. But what I'm concern about is, I restored it 3rd time in last 4 days cause of this problem. Now, sometimes I even hesitate while installing a new app.
By the way, I'm seriously doubting on S2E now. I suspect Dragonoid is right. Does anyone using S2E have similar problem?
I also face this problem sometimes... dont know why!!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using CyanogenMod 7.2 by FAT
Yes, I had this problem with S2E.
I never get Link2SD to work, but it's actually great if you can get it to work, because you can select which app should go to SD and which app in /data. Some app like launcher, social, and instant messaging apps usually performs better in internal memory

This problem started when I partitioned my sd card 8gb class2
So phone started lagging a lot
And reboots on app install and uninstall... I had used s2e
Only solution I came across is buy
A faster SD card or don't partition it
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
This problem is pretty common,
The way i did it:
If you partitioned using desktop remove the partition format the SD so its back to factory Then insert it into the phone so the phone recognizes it again, then after that partition the SD card again.
If you did it through CWM, Then Format the EXT and the sd card, but make sure you have backed it up first.
Hope this helped.

Installing apps after flashing new rom

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??
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
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.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
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.

[NEW IDEA] CWM Backup on other phone

So I had this little problem.
I have a SGM and running CyanogenMod 7.2.0 rc2 by mebitek and I think I will stick with it for a long time. It is the most stable one for me so far...
Lets jump straight into the problem. My brother also bought a Mini and he wants to have the same ROM as me with the same apps installed and all....
I had this idea....
To backup my rom, flash clockwork in my brother's phone and than copy the backup folder of my phone and put it in his sd card/clockworkmod/backup and than reboot in recovery and restore the backup....
Will it have all the apps installed and will the cm rom be flashed ???
Please some "experts" reply....

It should work, but that way he will also have your google account linked to his phone, unless you make a clean install first, don't add account, install apps from apk and make a backup.
and we have also a way to remove account without data wipe so no problem

That's great, why don't you share it then?
just cut paste all the account related apps like Google login service and all sync adapter to any other place then reboot and copy all the apps back to /system/app and you are done

You can also use carbon app for backup. I like it very much as it allows us to backup all data with app in a single click and takes a single click only to restore.
So after installing rom, just select all apps for restore and click restore. It will install all the apps one by one by itself and wont ask for every single app to install seperately!!
