No issues at all, I have used titanium backup for years now.
Two days ago I installed the new COD6 lollipop firmware
and done a lot of restoring without any issues at all.
Just be sure that you don't restore "system data".
good luck!

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??

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.

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.

You can always do a dirty flash but you run the risk of it failing.

[Q] cwkmod flashing/data

So if i make a cwkmod backup if i install a custom rom can i restore just the data ?
Thanks if you can answer
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
You can, but with a very probable bootloop. Better to use just titanium backup.
Is that an android app or on pc? And cheers

Titanium backup is a root app that creates backup of apps+data, like you would by manually copying files, but with a nice UI. Pretty handy for changing roms.

use titanium backup... its going to work fine for user apps+data but will mostly give problems with system app+data restore... so take backup of system data like contacts and sms by some other means... dont just depend on titanium for these ...
press thanks if i helped !!!

Installing apps+data from recovery

Hi,
First, Christmas, New year wishes to all.
I flash ROMs almost every weak, and 50% of the time, wipe data...
Titanium backup is saving my life with it's app management.
But I'm bored to install my favorite apps every time. It takes almost 30mins to install all my apps and data manually using titanium backup.
Option #1:
I'm just wondering whether any app support installing app+data in a batch mode with selectable options?
Option #2
Is it even possible to create a clock work mod flushable zip that install apps and it's data???
Thanks,
Senthur

This is possible with titanium backup, although you do need the pro version. I would also like to find an alternative that is free or not as pricey as TB. Anybody know/use
Anything?

Best App for backing up Kit Kat?

Ok so I've had nothing but trouble with Titanium Backup and Kit Kat. I can get it to install a few apps at a time but then it freezes, I have to force close and start over. Took about 5 hours this last time.
I posted a thread to that effect, but didn't really get any answers so I thought I'd ask what you guys are using for backing up?
I started using Rom Toolbox a while back, but upon flashing several months ago, I ended up with corrupt data and that was no fun...so I went back to ttb...and now this is happening.
Any suggestions on a backup app that seems to be flawless and for sure works with KitKat?

Have not had any issues with Titanium Backup since moving to KK. Works just like it did on JB for me. Maybe you can try helium. You have USB debugging on? You using the pro version / and the latest version?

Are you restoring apps that were previously on your JB build and now restoring them on KitKat? Also, are you trying to restore system apps or data apps?
User apps... And no, I was on kit kat already on knoxraid...
And the backups are good... That's what's weird... When I force stop ttb and restart it, they install fine... Until it freezes again.

Problems with helium (non-premium)

Hi guys, I finally made the decision to root my z1,but first of all, I need to back it up. Problems are :
1. Sony pc companion backup is cr*p.
2. So I opted to using helium. Now, I got all settings up. Downloaded the pc counterpart of the app, downloaded the Android app from Google store, set up into debug mode. Helium requires my phone on PTP mode, which I do, but 1 second later, it comes back to MTP mode.
Did I miss anything? I tried downloading "drivers" from helium 's suggestions, but the one they have their is older than my SPCC.
Thanks in advance! I really look forward to rooting my device and getting it's benefits. Cheers!

I had the same problem, and I didn't find any solutions (I have Helium Premium). I ended up backing up my phone using Sonys software, just to be on the safe side. Rooting does not wipe your phone (at least not the method I used), but better safe than sorry. Unlocking on the other hand will wipe your phone!
After root, I installed Titanium and made all the backups I wanted. I also installed dual recovery (still without wiping the phone) and made a Nandroid bckup.
Titanium backup always work, use that in the future. It is worth the money, all others I have tried have been of no use

He's right. Move all files from internal memory to the PC and then use titanium backup. It's able to back up your entire phone including the application data. Duh. It can actually backup your entire device with system apps and it's data.
