I'm going from a Samsung Vibrant to a G2X. I'm just going to try the G2X for a few weeks and see if I like it. I've been using Titanium on my Samsung for some time now. Do I just copy the Titanium backup folder from my old phone's internal SD and copy to the new phone's SD? Do I move any other files?
Thanks.
That should work no problem. Just don't try to restore system apps and files to the new phone. User apps and data only. And yes all you need is the folder labeled "titanium backup".
Thanks I'll give it a try
yes just copy the titanium backup file to your new phone and download app on new phone
As long as its rooted.

I just tried this while moving from a rooted Droid 1 to rooted Droid 2, I keep getting that the restore fails. Tried various times... is there something I'm missing?
I've never worked with the Droid but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Did you move the file to the removable sd card and then move it from phone to phone or just copy it from one phone to the next with a computer?
Did a full backup with Titanium and moved sd card to the new phone. Tried to restore a few different apps and I keep getting a message that it failed.

ok, take it easy on me boys and girls. I am new to droid (2 months) I am a former Blackberry abuser. So I have an EVO 4G, rooted, I moved my apps to sd card before rooting , and now I can not seem to find them on the card. I know they are still there but can not figure hoe to access and reload them. Can any one guide me on this one?
What do you mean you moved them to the SD card? Like you backed them up or you used the default apps to sd in Froyo?
If you just moved them to the SD card as you would in "manage applications", then you'll need to redownload them - only part of the app is stored on the SD card. If you backed them up, you either need to use the same app you used to back up to restore, or locate the apk files with a file manager and install them.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I think you backed em up to the SD card? Use a file manager like astro. And don't call the evo "Droid"
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Yep, if you moved the apps to the sd card using "manage applications", you didnt actually move the app, jsut the data. So if you rooted and installed a new rom or something, you have now lost all your apps. This is why you should at least make a nandroid backup, and also backup apps with Titanium Backup.
If you got your apps from the android market or amazon appstore, you'll just need to reinstall them from there. Unless you backed-up your app data with something like Titanium Backup, you lost the data in those apps. But you shouldn't need to pay for any of the apps you already bought, just reinstall them.
I just bought this DROID x and left the htc incredible I had. I had the incredible rooted and used titanium backup. I copied the titanium file to my computer and fat32 ed my sd card. Im now using that card in my X. If I root could I load that file onto the sdcard and get my apps back without having issues? Or should I turn on my old phone and just redownload everything. Also im on the offical gingerbread release.
I did this coming from the fascinate. Bad idea, for some reason it only restored my apps. Not the data to them. Needless to say, I'm back to lvl 1 in drag raving where I was at lvl 8

You should be all set
I am curious about what is the best way to back up apps from my current Evo and restore them on another phone? I'm asking because I shattered my Evo's screen last night after a year of taking such good care of it...and through Asurion I will be receiving an Evo 3D. Sad to leave this dev community, but I will gladly take a dual core phone over my OG.
I use TB Pro to back up and restore between roms. I normally avoid Google's backup/restore app process because it takes too long over the internet, but does that service also backup the data for the apps as well? Like saving all my info in games and such. Thanks for any input
titanium backup, just be careful with what you restore on the new device (system settings for example are a no-no)
How am I going to restore apps that are on another phone with TB?

Go on the sd card of your current phone, copy it, [or use the same sd card] start up new phone, install titanium backup, then simply restore all apps+data, NOT system settings.

This. Also TB allows you to upload your backup to a dropbox account as well, no need to move the SD card but you trade speed for convenience (dropbox process takes longer since it has to upload when the backup is created then download when you restore to the new device)
And BTW OP yes TB will also backup your game data
TB is a sure way
I have been trying different roms every few days trying to find the one I like the most. I like using titanium back up. The only problem I have is every time I did a back up, it back up to my internal memory. It took 2 times trying to back up to realize that it was being saved to the internal. I kow I can move it to the SD but I want to kow is there a way to flip-flop the 2? I assume this isn't possible and is something that has to be written into the rom itself
No. Go to settings, go to backup folder location and there you can tell it to make the backup in extsdcard/titaniumbackup. The only annoyance is that when you flash a new ROM reinstall TiBu you have to go into settings / backup folder location, and tell it to search for folder. I used to had different folder names on my sdcard for different ROM's n had to tell it which folder run use for which ROM.

I am moving from an HTC Rezound to the g2 and have all of my apps/data backed up on the rezound sd card. I want to restore the apps data part on my new G2 so I dont lose all the data related to each app. How would I go about doing this since the G2 does not have an sd card slot?
Thanks for any help.

I do this all the time, very easy. First download the titanium app on the G2. Open the app on the G2 and go through the initial setup/screens. Once that is done, plug in your HTC Rezound or sd card into your computer and locate the Titanium folder. It contains all of your apps/data. Save that folder to your computer. Then plug your G2 into the computer and copy and replace the titanium folder on the G2. Remember that there are going to be alot of apps that you wont be using from your old HTC so i recommend running titanium after transfer and deleting all the htc apps that are in titanium and backing up all the apps that are on the G2.
Or you can get MyBackUp Pro and do a Migrate backup.
Install the app on both phones. Make sure both are on the same wifi network & in the same room
On the old phone, hit the migrate option & select the apps & data you want transferred to your new phone.
On the new phone open the same app, go to Migrate hit that and wait for the data to flow from your old phone to the new one in a special zip file.
The new phone will take that zip & unpack the apps & data by itself!
Incredible & easy
