First check the allow install from external sources in the security settings... Then go to tibu settings and search for the backup folder.. There's an option for it..

Then create a filter.. Choose the copied and the uninstalled
Then you can restore..

do note restore is not recommended in first post of cm9, where paranoid android is based on.
Apps only shouldnt be to much of an issue, but apps with data might cause some issues.

hey
i found i found the backup folder but why is their not a simple way to just restore the apps, i still dont know how iam meant to back them all up, this really is confusing. backing them up is so easy.
also iam dead confused now, i thought TB was safe to restore with data as long as you dont restore system data?
how on earth would i get all these apps back with my bookmarks etc?? lol
cheers.

you can restore, but when issues arise, its most likely because of that, so you know

Will it be issues with the app etc? Theirs only some apps that have data in them which would be good to keep. I still cannot find how to install my apps' I see nothing in restore in TB? Any help would be great. I thought my backup would just show up. I am running the free version btw
Thanks

I guess its batch restore, in app list pres menu button, should be there somewhere.
Or select app, then select restore in popup.
Issues could be:
lag
no deepsleep
force closures of apps
random reboots.
You probably wont get them but if you do, its likely because of restore

I used my backup pro as TB is just so confusing to me. I have apps back with data and all seems fine but I've noticed I cannot see a thing on my external SD card? The folder is empty for some odd reason. Now it manages to locate the folder in TB although I didn't use it to restore ' my sd card seems blank but it cant be as I never formatted a thing. Any idea??
All I did was flash rooted gb rom from stock ics and then installed cm9 rom and external SD is not
Shown in es file exploror
Cheers

yep, check folder mnt, check folders in there, one of them is your external sd
its mnt\emmc and not sdcard\externalsd anymore
They do it differently in cm9

Official to Cyanogen, how to keep data?

Hi,
I have the 20A on my phone and have unlocked the boot loader today, clockwork recovery is installed and a backup made.
Now I would like to try the Cyanogen 10.1.
Is there a way to keep my settings, contacts and apps?
Or do I have to reinstall everything manually?
I know that I must do a full wipe when moving to CM but the question is if there are backup tools that will save the said data and restore them seamlessly into the new ROM?

I used aplication SuperBackup. I backup contacts, sms conversations, calls logs, calendar, bookmarks, and apks installed. All saved on external SD-card. After moving on CM i install SuperBackup again and restore everything and remain only to configure the phone.

Some reported that you can restore data only through cwm from backup
Just try it, there's nothing you can loose

Try Titanium Backup(search for it in Play Store, can't copy the because of less then 10 Posts here) for me it's the best Way to make a backup of the complete phone!

You are correct, you need to do a full wipe when moving to CM. Use Titanium Backup to backup your data - just try no to backup/restore any system files. You should be fine with applications, games, etc.

I tried out titan backup and first of all its not free, second it seams to backup each app individually.
I'm rather looking for a backup tool that backs up everything at once and than restores it.

If you pay for TB then it can do batch backups. You have a $500 phone, yet you won't pay $5 for the best backup app there is - doesn't make any sense to me

No I have a 330€ phone (incl. wat).
And I don't have a mobile contract (prepaid) and don't give Google my real name.
But here in Austria we have prepaid credit cards that can be bought and used anonymously I can get one, if the program is really the best there is.
Or can I pay using bitcoins?
The problem is not the value of the money but the electronic fut print its usage lefts behind.

OK, a $430 phone - same principle. And if you are truly worried about your 'electronic footprint' then you should not be using a mobile phone, a computer, a bank account or anything else that has your name, photo or anything else on it.

@SimonTS
I'm not unreasonably paranoid.
Whats the good if google knows everything about me.
Have we ditched god and other all seeing all knowing deities only to replace them with real all knowing l seeing entities?
I don't think so.
A person can only them be truly free when it is not being observed by anyone.
The right to anonymous communication is a human right.
Why should we voluntarily give it up to Google or the banking establishment.
I have made it a habit to always strictly separate my off line identity form my on line identity, this gives me true freedom.
The same kind of freedom our politicians have: no true accountability for almost anything.

Ok I have the titanium thing installed.
I see a lot of backup options for various app.
But how do I backup other settings, like contacts eMails, calender?

Where is the rest of my available space?

Hey guys,
I've been going back and forth between Sense and CyanogenMod, and finally after setting up CM to how I like it, I checked the internal storage and it say's I only have 5GB left. I'm fairly sure there is some data that is not accounted for, but I've also tried checking with apps like SD Maid, and I can't seem to find it.
I have the 64GB model
Here is what Storage in settings shows:
Total Space: 54.26GB
Available: 5.25GB
Apps: 634MB
Audio: 18.59GB
Downloads: 17.60MB
Cached Data: 153MB
Misc: 391MB
I currently have the ATT HTC One 64GB model
CM10.1 05.19.13 Build
SuperUser and CWM Recovery
If anyone has any idea about what could be taking up all my space and how to fix this problem, I would be grateful. Thank you!

Wouldn't that include the 18 gigs of music? I wish I could post the screenshots I took of the settings page (Under 10 posts lol), but when it says calculating, the bar goes all the way to the right and shows that majority of the space is being used. But once everything is calculated, the bars go back to normal.

Use an app called SdMaid, as you have root it will work really well and tell you what the biggest files are on your phone, where the most data is etc. Give it a try

I've tried using SDMaid, and it says most of it is in /data. Something interesting I found though is that there is a an sdcard0/ folder and emulated/ folder that have the same files. Could this be the problem, that most of my files are being duplicated? Or is this normal?

Bump. Anyone have any ideas on what's happening?

Just noticed you're using CM 10.1 Could be the ROM has only set 32gb to use? Might need to poke the CM developers to allow you to use the full fat 64gb.

That's completely normal for 4.2. That's the same for all devices running the same OS version.
Also, you can upload a screenshot to a site like imgur (probably easier to use the imgur app) and then use the option to copy BBCode. You'll then be able to post it even though you're under 10 posts

Hmm that's weird. I tried using pics from TinyPic but they didn't work. Imgur does though. Thanks!
Just used DiskUsage, and it's showing that System Data is taking up 30 gigs of data. From what I've been seeing, this shouldn't be so. Any suggestions?

Also, I know that apps and gamnes go into this folder, but I don't have any large apps or games on this phone. Largest app says it's Candy Crush, which is only 45Mb.

I'm pretty sure it might be just Cyanogenmod being set to 32gb instead of 64 gb. Do a full backup, install the stock ROM and see if you get the full space?

I'll go ahead and try that.
Few questions:
When I install stock ROM, do I need to install the stock recovery or is that only for if I want to restore my phone fully to stock (un-root)?
How do I set CyanogenMod to 64GB?

Just installed the stock ROM. Wiped everything with CWM then installed via zip. I opened up the Storage settings and it still shows that something is taking up my space.
Looks like my photos and music stayed behind though. Do those not get deleted with a full wipe?

Nope, your files on your SD card stay

Figured it out. Turns out I haven't been doing a full wipe when I do a factory reset in CWM. I usually did wipe user data and dalvik cache, but after reading online I also had to do /system, /cache, etc. That pretty much wiped everything, and then I restored it from a backup. But stupid me also formatted the internal SD, so I had to reimport all my music and pictures.

Hello

I'm new here on this sub forum! I came from a locked bootloader Samsung Galaxy s5! AT&T! I would like some advice on whats the best rom out there? i already did all the steps with unlocking! hella easy! lol but since there is no sd card slot how do you keep all your apps + data?

The sdcard isn't wiped with a factory reset through TWRP. So it is no different than other phones. Make a nandroid, titanium backup, or whatever you want to use. Factory reset through TWRP. Flash ROM + other stuff if necessary (Gapps, kernel, root, xposed....etc). Everything on your sdcard will still be there. Note that you can wipe out everything on your phone through TWRP, but a factory reset knows to save it (I believe TWRP even has something along the lines of not including internal storage).
The beauty of custom ROMs is that there is no best ROM. Everyone has different preferences, and as such there are different ROMs that are built with different ideas in mind. Some may lean toward ROMs that have every feature they can cram into the ROM. While others may want ROMs that are much closer to stock with just a couple extra features. It really all depends. My advice is to figure out what features interest you, figure out a few ROMs that cover most of those. Perhaps glance through the last few pages of those ROMs to see if there are any confirmed problems that may be dealbreakers for you. Then flash it. Play with it a day or two, then flash different ROM if it interests you.

System partition full?

Hey guys! So I downloaded an app off the play store called Free Space. It shows all your partitions on the device and shows how much free space you have on each! Well, the system partition is only about 2GB? And it's 99% full? Is this normal? I'm running Marshmallow MRA58R Rooted. If this is normal, how can you flash extra files without running out of space? And for that matter, how will the phone get the next Android version if Marshmallow fills the partition completely? There's 16mb free right now!

Yes by marshmallow default system partition is fixed at 2 gb and full already, so you can either delete system apps or using recovery try to increase size of system. Of course by formatting and putting back your back up and stuff

I don't know that I would be comfortable altering the device that much haha I just wonder how they are gonna update to Android N when that's a thing! Also, with this little space, it would probably not allow you to flash too many zips to it right?

Is it possible that it is full from fastboot flashing many times and there are left over files? Or is it 100% normal that my system partition is this full right now? Kind of weird! They are going to have to make the next few Android versions fit in that partition! I almost wanna format my system partition and reflash a stock system.img and check it again.

Based on what I've read it's normal to have a full system partition on Marshmallow. I have a feeling it's a feature to piss us off so we can't flash Xposed or have AdAway store its hosts files in /system.
To gain space just delete some of the preinstalled apps. Most of them can be downloaded from the Play Store if it's something you use.

Google did the same thing with the Nexus 10 when Android 5.0 (Lollipop) came out. I had to get rid of some of the pre-installed Google apps that were installed in /system and reinstall them from the Play Store and then I had plenty of free space in /system for rooting, installing busybox, installing adaway, etc.

Awesome! I will probably just delete a lot of the stock Google apps, I don't even use them honestly! However, will a full nandroid backup done with TWRP also backup my secondary ROMs? I have multirom installed on my Nexus. The ROMs are installed to the data partition of course, does anyone here know if they're saved in TWRP backups? Because what I'll probably do is take a full backup, and then start deleting Google apps, restore if it breaks Android.

No. You must back up multirom (ROMs) separately but you can wipe out primary and it won't effect secondary. As long as you don't format data your good.
