Hi guys,
Any idea on how to backup and restore apps including the apps' data on this (unrooted) phone?

Just wondering guys. Every time before you flash a new ROM and run backup to backup all your own stuff, do you guys backup apps only or plus system data?
I seem to vaguely recall from my HD2 days that it is not encouraged to backup system data too yeah?
backup app only . ignore system data . if not if you are restoring the system as well it might crash with the new system file of your rom
Thanks neighbour
Hi,
I backup my phone via CWM and Titanium, then I wipe my phone, installed the same ROM, tried to restore my LG Memo & Email, both does not restore my previous backup data. Here's what i've tried:
-wipe phone, install rom, restore both apps (+data) via titanium but no data was restored (or maybe it did, but my email settings and memos still absent). Tried restarting, still no joy. Tried restoring mobile access points & sms, all doesn't work. But most apps do get restored with data only a few doesn't.
-wipe phone, restore original cwm backup, everything is present with data. (I made another backup of titanium during this restore just to double confirm)
- wipe phone, install rom, install Appextractor app, selected my cwm backup, restore lg memo & email (+data), still no joy. I even tried restoring my sms backup, still no sms was restored.
- tried backup sms & setting using LG bundled backup app, restore works. But it doesn't backup apps data, just the apps (like fresh install).
-Lastly, I tried restore my previous cwm backup, reboot, go to titanium, restore my very old titanium backup files (I do keep it on separate folder), it has memo & email app but less data because it's old backup, obviously. Restore it, Works!
It seems that the problem arise when I do a wipe and fresh install rom which is exactly the same rom as previous (stock 20q from flix123) tried to restore some apps and settings but it does not get restored with data.
Please help. I need the memo I saved and emails (sent folder emails are saved locally) to restore properly.
Thanks.
Hey Guys ,,
is there any way to move a backup data to the ROM
i have ATT note 3,, i did backup using safe strap and after x note ROM instillation i tried to do restore data but it failed,,,any solution
I believe the Safestrap backups are similar to just TWRP or Nandroid backups.
They'll save the entire partition as is, to restore back to that state at a later date.
They aren't good for, say, moving all your apps and appdata to a new Rom.
For that, you should use Titanium Backup or a similar backup manager like Helium.
Then back up just the apps and appdata (not system apps, since they'll often conflict with the new rom) to your SDCard, and restore them when on the new app.
Sorry, it doesn't help when you've already done the TWRP backup and flashed a new rom.
Folks
I did a full backup of system, data, etc on TWRP (2.66gb total folder size) - can I assume that should I corrupt my phone somehow, I can restore from this and the phone will be in the exact state when I did the backup - all apps, logins, etc intact?
Also, I do weekly backups with titanium free edition - does titanium does the same thing or should I still do the above every few months?
Thanks

It's a complete "snapshot" of your phone as it was when you took it.
No titianium does not do the same thing. Titanium backs up individual apps and their respective data so you can restore individual apps or all apps at once. It's benefit is when switching roms where you have to wipe the phone and you can just restore your user apps without restoring any system data
I use the app ultimate backup to back up apps and data and I use the TWRP backups just as a safety measure before flashing a new ROM or update.......
I like to start a fresh you see with a new ROM, and then just install ultimate backup again, move over the back up data that I previously copied to my PC, and restore them, and this basically returns everything to how it was before due to the launcher, Nova, and its settings also being restored.
Hello, any info I've found doesn't help clarify one big question for me:
I just installed Resurrection Remix onto my m7spr, from an old version of Sense. I want to restore user apps/data using my Titanium Backup, however I didn't clean out the old system app/data backups prior. I don't want to restore any system data, as I'm sure it's not compatible and will likely corrupt new system data, or just be entirely useless and wasting space. Is there a way to do a batch restore that does not include system apps/data?
Additional info:
My batch restore options are as follows:
Restore missing apps with data (250)
Restore all apps with data (314)
Restore all system data (277)
Restore missing apps + all system data (101)
Restore newer versions of user apps (0)
I'm reasonably certain I don't have 250 missing user apps that need restoring.
Thanks
Playing around with it a bit I discovered you can individually select/deselect the apps you wish to restore from a list, and do a selective batch restore. This is what I was looking for.
Yes, best way is to install the apps you want from play store and then restore only app data for those apps. If you restore complete apps it makes problems very often espacially between different android versions.
