I recently just rooted and I'm ready to flash my first ROM, but if, rather not lose all my apps. With titanium backup will I have to back up my apps, individually or is there somewhere I can do that at?
Thanks again

You can run a batch with options to backup just user data, apps, system data or all of the above or each program by itself.

I've installed the titanium backup app and noticed that is boots itself with the phone. After killing it, the app eventually re-opens itself! Is this normal, is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or would it be best to uninstall it and simply reinstall it whenever I need to use it?

Are you talking about clockwork recovery?
No, I mean titanium backup. I wasn't able to see that it was running using advanced task killer, but I could see that it was running using android assistant (it seems to show more processes). I've just assume uninstall it until I need it. I don't see any reason to have it running int he background constantly consuming ram when it is not needed.
I have the regular version of Titanium Backup, and after I install the new ROM and want to reload my apps, I click on batch and click the apps i want to restore, but it asks me to install on each app. Does the pro version bypass this?
No i don't think it does bypass it... with the pro version the big thing you're able to do is freeze apps....

Im new to rooting/flashing roms.. Is it possible to keep the apps/games you've already downloaded after you've flashed to a different rom? Or do I have to write them down and redownload them?
Also what is a NANDROID backup? Is it the same as backing up though clockworkmod recovery?
Download Astro file manager. Open it up and go to menu>tools>backup and backup all your installed apps. Then if you do a clean install all you have to do is install Astro from the market and reinstall your apps from your backup.
Your apps are stored on the /data/ partition so that is untouched when you flash a rom. That said, they recommend wiping to avoid any incompatibilities.
You can use a backup program, eg Titanium or My Backup Pro, to backup your apps and data.
Clockwork can do everthing, but I like using Titanium so I can selectively restore apps.

So technically speaking I could flash roms without wiping? But I still should.
Thanks to both of you!
you can flash without wiping but you should wipe. if you don't wipe don't report bugs, because the first thing they will ask is if you wiped.

Made a mistake already haha. Forgot to sync my contacts with google before I flashed to syndicate. Good thing I made a back up of my stock rom Goes to show how IMPORTANT backing up is!!
AppBrain market makes it very easy to restore all your apps from the market.

This becomes an issue when moving from eclair to froyo. I use app brain and when I moved to a froyo rom I went back in to download fresh and nothing was there. When I flashed back though app brain had my list of apps ready and waiting. Kinda neat kinda painful. Use Astro...it's a lot simpler.
Apparently the id or model changed and the list was different. Check on the appbrain.com website. Move the apps to the other list. Worked well for me.

Hello, I have just flashed dj05 onto my phone and I'm installing my apps back onto my phone using titanium backup. However, my apps are not showing up in the market under the downloads section.. Last time I flashed a rom I was able to get them to show in the market as downloaded by restoring a file but I cannot remember what file I used.
Anyone else know?

Have you tried Market Doctor? In TB Pro, go to Menu-->More and just select it. Theoretically that should restore the links.

I had a bunch of folders on the screen and these were not restored from backup using TB pro. Is this normal, or folders must have been restored as well?

Ok so I'm planning on flashing a rom for the first time. I was just wondering if after running a full backup using Titatnium, if that saves all of the texts messages that I have right now? If it doesn't, is there a way to go about getting that done?
If you want to save your text messages, I recommend using mybackup pro (the free version will not let you restore data). If you can't pay for it, look up Applanet

First off, Jmoney47, please do not recommend that another user on here use Applanet. Warez and the like are not supported by XDA. Apps such as applanet are the reason there are virus' and malware on Android devices. If you truly want a paid app, then pay for it off of the market and support the developer who made it. =)
As for the original question:
I believe Titanium will save all of your data (sms and what not). i just switched ROMs and used titanium (among other things). so i'm so used to the switching process, I really can't recall all I do.
I recommend searching for SMS backup which is a free app
My Backup Root is free and backs up text. I couldn't figure out how to back up text using Titanium.

Also, Titanium Backup only backs up apps. Don't try to back up system data with it because it differs from ROM to ROM and can have serious consequences if you restore it with an incompatible one.
If you want a full backup, one you can restore after flashing a new ROM if something goes wrong, you need to make a nandroid backup using Clockwork Recovery.

Well I got everything I need to backup taken care of, but now I'm having a problem flashing the rom. I select the rom in rom manager, check to make a backup, and to wipe the data, hit ok, but then it just restarts my phone and nothing has happened. Any ideas?

I don't use rom manager, instead I use koush's droid X bootstrap. Which might be a dependancy for rom manager.
On a side note. I'm baffled by the fact that someone would come in a developers forum and recommend pirated software. Sad.

Does Titanium backup work without root?
Thanks
No but it is very easy to root if on froyo; if on GB it has a few more steps involving an SBF but it is still a very simple process.
And really, if you're on xda, you know you want to root.

I would think Android should allow backups without the need to hack/ root the phone.

They do, with apps like my backup and other stuff, but none of those work well because, you guessed it, root level access is needed to preserve system and some data...

When I had my Windows Mobile 6 phone, I could do a nandroid-type backup (system + user data) using a program called Sprite. Each snapshot was around 50MB for me. And 1-click restore to that backed up state.
No need to hack/root the phone.
I guess the Android equivalent would be to root and use Titanium?

You are correct. If you want to back up your entire phone you can root install Droid 2 bootstrap and rom manager and just click backup current rom then your entire phone will be backup up. Including setting, messages, all apps, everything.

Always keep a good titanium backup, but if you are rooted, use cwm to create a backup image.

i am being flashing different Roms all the time to try out various Roms, but everytime i flash the rom by full wipe, iam having nightmare in restoring all the apps. i have around 200 apps and i also have the titanium backup, but as everyone know i have to press install 200 times to restore all the apps. it is making me crazy.
i want to know how u guys addressing this, is there any way out or have to live with this nightmare
Latest market or android version sync your market apps when you launch market the first time. At least it did that for me stock kl7. But DON'T go to your downloads open market and press back leave the apps to get installed from notification bar if you press my downloads after a few you get a error saying you don't have space on your phone and if it stops once forget to continue it later they disappear so if you fail with it. code factory reset it and try again it is faster. Done 4 or 5 till i succeed. But works on market apps only rest manually.

Buy titanium backup pro. Installs everything automatically. I think astro file manager has a backup feature for free.

Are you talking about apps from your myapp list in the market? Or apps from titanium backup? If you have free version, you will have to install apps manually. If you have titanium pro, it will install all 200 apps automatically with no user input.
