As the title suggests: does anyone know of a way to backup the app data from apps which have two instances using dual messenger? Of course we can back up the normal instance using Titanium Backup or other means, but I cannot find where the 'Dual Messenger' data is located, let alone figure out how to back it up between Rom Flashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hrm, how can I say =P
I`m running the last cyanogenmod right now (3.9.5)
I never wiped my phone since I came from JF1.51 (yes, I had to wipe after starting using cyanogenmod
I want to make a wipe when getting to 3.9.6 and clean my ext3 partition as well...
I have a lot of apps configured and don`t want to loose then! Also, I don`t want to loose my configs of that apps (some are hard to configure =P)
How should I proceed?
obs. sorry for my bad english =P
You can try backing up your appdata using one of the various apps on the market (backup for root users, etc.). But theres no real guarantee that its going to work. I doubt the settings will even be saved. You're more than likely going to have to re-set up all of your apps to get them how you want. Thats just the downside of playing with custom roms.
I see =P
thanks man! I`ll try that!
What would be better? Backup for root or Mybackup pro?
I just want to backup my apps, marketdb and the config data of apps
I would stay away from Mybackup pro.... It corrupts the data so that you cannot use the sync features for contacts anymore in gmail. It also corrupts the text message data so that you cannot use SMSBackup. If neither of these don't bother you then Mybackup pro is worth the money except it bothers me now because I want to backup my text messages to my gmail with SMSbackup and I cannot because SMSbackup cannot read them due to whatever Mybackup Pro did to them while it was backing them up..

Anyone else experiencing this? My also use MyBackUp Pro, but not the other stuff mentioned above. Why would it need to alter the data to back the up?

When I used MyBackUp Free back in the day, I also had the same problem. It corrupted the contacts, and no longer synced till I reflashed.. =/

You got lucky then! Even after I reflashed, I had no luck restoring my contacts. What I had to end up doing was restoring from what little I had on the SIM card from way back in the day and update the rest by hand. It took a long time but was worth it because now I can use gmail sync without any worries. I will forever stay away from MyBackup Pro! Wish I could get my money back LOL
to back up ur stuff like game saves use this app http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.protocol.x.su.fbs
once installed make ur way to the root of your fone directory not the sd card root. once there find the folder called data click on it, then click on the folder also called data, then look for your app info [like a game save] you wanna back up, long press on it and select copy. then go back to your sd card and press menu then paste. please do not use this app for bad things, i will not say anymore.
i use it to back up my game saves from go go rescue and the bowling game.
of all the apps that i use on my android phones the most (CoPilot aside) is Titanium Backup Full/Pro/Donate whatever you want to call it.
Just make sure you unlock it to get the DropBox feature.
in the Nexus S with the lack of the extra external storage, it's almost a must have to be able to back/restore all your apps & settings online, and on the go, so that if crap happens, you can easily just restore them all back.
it also facilitates a lot when we are constantly trying out new ROMs
with the 1 click restore feature
How do you do it mate? I backed up to phone then synced with dropbox? Is that it? Would be awesome if someone made a drop box music player lol

I highly recommend Titanium Backup. The donate version is a must for anyone who flashes ROMs.

Just google it: "Nandroid vs MyBackup Pro vs Titanium Backup." You'll gain all the information you need. It's been talked a lot.
Nandroid = Every nook and cranny.
Titanium Backup = Basically everything app related and system settings. Doesn't touch the OS itself. Pro version has that auto install feature when you restore apps.
MyBackup Pro = Dunno if it changed much, but it backs up everything app related. No system settings. Also backs up app data if you have root. Restore app one by one.
I might have forgotten something because the last time I used MyBackup was about year or two ago.

Actually, MyBackup Pro does back up system settings. Also backs up SMS and MMS and photos. Also batch restores the apps.
What I did not have a good experience is backing up contacts as it conflicts with google's contact sync and I ended up with double contacts..this was almost a year ago though..
Another recommendation here though only for the pro version. The regular version is just a pain to back up and restore all your apps.

it's true about the pain to restore
but the FREE version you still have the 1 button backup everything option
Hi,
i used HTC Backup and made 3 Backups at different times. Now i can only restore the 2nd one because i only get this to choose from.
But in the dropbox folder are all 3 Backups. Is this a bug? Can i force him to use the last backup? HTC phone support was totally useless cause the "specialist" didn't really know what "HTC Backup" really is...
Thx
Daniel
Maybe try moving the other 2 into a different folder to separate them?
Really you shouldn't waste time with HTC's backup anyway. Just run an ADB backup on a PC and use SMS backup for your texts (if you care about that).

Hi,
i tried to separate them but it also didn't work. I usually do a backup with titanium but i really liked that every setting an the tv app was backuped with htc backup. But as it is, it's just crap.

You can backup the TV app and setting with Titanium mate
I know but i recently just backed up "All User Apps" and the TV app is not included because it's a system app.
Now i know better

Hello, I'm new to having a rooted phone and doing back ups. I was wondering if there a app or something in titanium that can backup your ringtones settings for your contacts and your home screen, app folders? I am trying out the EclipticONE-Revamped-Inverted DEODEX 3.8 and for some reason it won't let me use htc backup to restore my homescreen and app folder setup.

Thanks I'll look into it. It doesn't seem to be able to back up contacts or ringtones settings. Is there a app that can do this? I figured out how to backup contacts on titanium. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, I'm trying to look things up and learning the stuff that goes with running a rooted phone.
I'm pretty sure TWRP/CWM backs up EVERYTHING. But you can't transfer that around from ROM to ROM.
You need not worry about contacts. Google backs that up for you.
When I used to be a flashaholic on my gs2, the only thing I would back up was doodle jump. I enjoyed having to toy with all the settings. Ringtones don't take so long to set up, do they?
Not really, I was just curious if there was a app that could do it. I'm trying out a few different roms to find one I like, so I figured I would ask just incase something like that was out there.
I was wondering about this setting, does it matter if I choose HTC or Google? Also what is the benefit of this setting? Should I not rely on this at all and keep with things like Titanium Backup?

I use Google backup for everything, but Titanium is always useful, especially if you wanted to keep app specific files. HTC backup is a replacement alternative to Google. I use Google for everything so I decided not to use the HTC backup.
