I am about to wipe install Darky's new rom and would like a way to restore apps without having to reinstall each one individually.
What are the general feeling on resorting apps via titanium?
If I use titanium will the apps still receive automatic market updates?
Also can anyone recommend a good way of backing up contacts?
All advice is welcome!

contacts i use googlemail...
for cleaner results just restore user no system apps.
if you go for darky 10 i wouldn't restore apps at all or just selected fresh install where ever you can...

Had my SGS for three months on 3 in the UK.
In the first week I flashed the 2.2.1 update.
Brilliant phone, but then 2 days ago it suddenly went very wired, 1-3 buzzing, buzz pause buzz buzz buzz everything crashing and rebooting didn't help.
So I did a factory reset (reboot vol up + home + power) which of course wiped everything.... not even market worked.
I had a user folder with various essential files, including the titanium apk
Titanium restore all apps and data, sit back and wait around 20/30 minutes.
Phone restored EXACTLY as it was before, including placement of icons and everything down to the last detail.
A "Backup" generally in computing terms is like a parachute, you have no use at all for it until you need it, and then you'd better have one, and it better work.
Titanium backup worked, 100%, cannot fault it in any way whatsoever, if you only buy one apk, buy this.
----------------------------------------------
Sms backup plus which backed up all my calls and SMS and storing all my contacts to google/gmail and not sim card, and googe calendar probably helped a lot.
-----------------------------------------------
I have titanium set to 7 backups, one a day per week, rolling.
=================================
The only thing I am missing is a backup solution that backs up over the USB to a PC and which backs up absolutely everything on the phone, system and all.
As far as I know there is no ready made solution to this need?
Thanks Johnny, much appreciated mate!
So basically, when I upgrade to a new firmware, I can use titanium backup so I won't have to manually reinstall all my apps after a repartition/factory reset? What about settings such as wlan keys, or pictures associated with contacts?

i would highly recomment not to restore system settings when upgrading to a new fw.
also titanium can't help if you f*ed up your system you should make a nandroid backup for that..
nandroid =safety
titanium=makes life easier but sometimes makes problems

Ok, so there's no way to keep the contacts-pictures when upgrading to a new firmware without risking system stability? That sucks

If you have your contacts backed up with Google you don't need to use Titanium Backup or any other system, just log in to your Google account and then go to Sync Settings and trigger a synchronization, that will restore all your contacts automatically. Contacts-Sync works across all versions of Android.
cm9 has with good reason in first post dont restore with titanium
Tip always read first post and thread.
Best way is to revert to prior rom, restore, then synch with google and check if its all there, then go to cm9 and synch back. But be safe doing it.
I guess titanium can restore apps safely but data no, no gaurantee it will run perfectly. which is why in first thread it says no.
even between stock versions I run into issues, so I dont do it. When on one version, it shouldnt be an issue, backing up and restoring.

you would have to wipe before moving to AOKP or AOSP if you want to keep your apps+data you can with titanium backup pro if you are rooted.
How?

now that you asked for the procedure for backing up with TBP, i will assume that you are rooted already. Get the app from market, choose the backup location, run the batch operation (check mark on top right) choose backup apps+data (do not backup system apps as restoring them on custom rom is not advisable). Flash the rom of your choice, install TBP again choose the backup location, restore the apps+data from batch operation.
Edit: just fyi you can also ask the same question in your thread you started, the thread you open is not limited to one question, you will get answers to your question if you continue asking questions instead of creating a new thread.

if you move down further you will also find backup userapps+Data option. i just found the screen shot on google:
Here it is from older version but should be there.
Edit: follow the instructions on how to in the Custon Rom Thread.
backup the user apps + data so that you are able to retain the app user data as well.
Hey all, i dont know if this is possible but I flashed my captivate and before i could restore the data with titanium backup, i got a flurry of messages from my viber friends. basically, if i restore the backup now, i lose the new messages and without restoring, i cant have my old messages in the history.
is it possible to merge the viber_messages file on the captivate with the one from the backup? maybe in a sql manager or somthing? i'm sorry but i dont know sql but was wondering if it could work?
thanks

I believe if you backup the apps' data along with the app, your emails should have no problem being restored.
I only backup apps and data
Did anyone get Titanium 6.2.0 Test 6 to work on N4? I am rooted.
Somehow when I restore a app+data, it just sit there forever.

Its not an issue with the n4, it's titaniums issue, it's happened me to me on the s2,3,4 and n4, the app on titanium freezes while restoring, don't restore it the next time u try to restore your apps, chances are, it retired but the app didn't processed it or its buggy

When an app hangs in titanium upon restore, go to the play store and manually install the app. Restore should resume.

I am able to backup and restore these app with no problems : Whatsapp, Viber, Wechat
I did have some luck backup and restore my SMS, but I get some weird msg about "changing your default messaging from Messages to <app name>. I think its because the SMS is seen by Google and Samsung app and only one can be the default? I am not sure on this so I didnt restore. I use SMS Backup app and Titanium and both give me similiar messages. If you know something, do let us know.
