I'm on android revolution 22.0, but I can't seem to backup any of my apps with titanium backup. I want to try new ROMs, but I hate losing all my apps. I've tried other backup apps like room toolbox etc but they don't backup my data like titanium does. Either way it's really aggravating sticking to ROM (although really good) but I really want to try more aosp ROMs

What exactly happen's? I assume your not losing root, so when you say you can't backup, what do you mean? Any errors? I used Helium backup and it worked pretty good. I backed up to google drive and was able to get most of my apps/data back, but Titanium does work best. Anyway, give some more details and maybe someone can help.

Okay, it backups fine and detects the backup folder. But once I load up titanium backup I can't restore anything. It doesn't seem to backup my apps correctly or something. I've tried deleting the backups and backing up my apps again but that doesn't seem to work also. I'll try helium.

Titanium is the biggest piece of **** I have ever used in my life on Android. Use something decent like Helium if you want to back up your apps. Titanium was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on an app. Read the reviews on how people can't restore their stuff after trying to recover. It would lock my device with doing the simplest operations. Developer never responds at all. Helium has worked for me on every version of Android and every device I have used. Flame the **** out of me all you want audience. Titanium is pure crap.

2 things; you have the latest version> I know it mattered in some other posts. Also, I remember reading something about changing the backups folder to storage/emulated/legacy in 4.3 to be able to restore your applications. Something to do with the folder structure and restores.

No flame, everyone has an opinion.
I've used Titanium and for me its worked well. I never had to reach out to the dev, so I can't talk to that. To be on the safe side, I usually use Helium, Titanium and of course a nandroid bu when appropriate. One of them always works for me.

It's certainly great advice to have 2 backups, I'll echo that. I had the highest hopes for Titanium, and for me, backups are paramount. So when I have a developer that doesn't respond, period - that's an issue. I would do simple app restores with data and my device would fail to boot afterwards. Didn't matter if I did it with Messages, or random games. I'd have to recover my ROM on account of whatever Titanium would be doing during restores since it would stop booting and would sit at the HTC logo screen indefinitely.
I can use something like Mybackup Pro:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro
Or Helium:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup.license
I'm sure that people have had just the opposite experience that I've had, or else TB wouldn't have gotten as good of reviews as it has over the time its been in the store. However, if I would have only relied on that app to back my stuff up, I would have lost all the data on my device after flashing custom ROMs. Can't say the same for the other 2 products I have listed, as neither one of them have ever given me any issues whatsoever and they work every time for me without having me worry about soft bricking it during every single restore. That just creates more work for me...and totally defeats the purpose of using the TB app.
Yeah I decided to use ROM toolbox to backup my apps then helium to backup my data thanks guys. I've never had titanium poop out on me until now.

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).

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
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.

Thank for the reply, I'll try titanium backup!
What is the best way to backup so after I do anything I can get back?
TWRP or CWM, can we even do CWM on this phone?
TWRP is just fine. Does a great job.
But if you're addicted to installing a lot of ROM's and want to backup apps and their saves/settings, I would recommend Titanium Backup (if you're rooted). Easy to dump all your apps the way they were on any new set up.

I think Titanium Backup is kinda borked now. At least one of the ROM developers explicitly says not to use it, and two times I tried using it with Note 4, it was extremely frustrating. It would perform a backup just fine, but while restoring it would get stuck on this app or that. So you had to reboot after every 3-5 apps restored. Some of the restored apps would not work and had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Others reported corrupted ROMs.
On one of recent app sales I got My Backup Pro for free. It seems to have some of the same functionality. I will give it a shot next time I am changing ROMs.
Not 100% sure. But it looks like you can do cwm:

I haven't seen anything. I have had a few paused on me but I would close it and restart to finish the left overs. Back on the Note 3, we had the same problem on a few devices. Some has tried the TB Fixer. Dont know if it'll work on the Note 4.

I guess the problems are not universal. Here's the linky to the discussion.
I'm trying to restore from a nandroid backup while using titanium backup however it will not restore any data
The 'extract from nandroid backup' is the option I have selected but it will spend a couple of minutes to 'analyze TWRP backup' (which is to be expected) however upon completion and upon selecting the apps & data I want to restore the system after a few minutes says the backup has finished the batch restore. This however is not the case.
I would appreciate some directions on what to do!
Thanks :good:

it will only restore your apps, without data. if you want to restore apps with data, then you need to back them up via titanium backup. or, you can restore your nandroid backup via twrp.

In terms of restoring the nandroid backup via TWRP does it matter that it's from a different phone (although same ROM cm12 -> cm 12.1)

no, it doesnt matter. ive restored nandroids before from one phone to another before. make a backup on the second phone first, then delete the backup, then put the backup that you want to restore in ths same file position the one you deleted was in. are you talking about a completely different phone, or two nexus 6?

oh, if its from a completely different device, do not even try it. that can brick your n6. if its from a broken n6 to a new one, thats different. but from a one plus one, to a n6, can be dangerous.

Hi,
Ive been away from the android world for quite some time, what is the easiest way to backup and restore app data when you are a rom flashing maniac? I know that note 8 doesnt have a lot of custom roms but old habits die hard
So far, Ive used titanium, its really slow specially the restoring part when you dont have the premium version.
Google backup is also internet based, Im looking for an offline type of backup and restore
There is also twrp, but I have never tested it
Thanks

If you use TWRP to back up your Rom it works just like it's supposed to, been using it for years. If you just want apps and app data I'd invest in the license for Titanium Backup, you can batch backup, batch restore and even make a flashable zip for your apps and data.
