ok any1 that can help me so that i can get all my games,apps and other stuff from 0.20 to 0.25 without installing them all over again?
This is what i did but it didnt work:
First i open recovery and restored floyo 0.25 then i did advance restore and restored system.
Was i supposed to restore data instead of system??
Actually it worked with restoring data.
U can delete this thread now.
You need to know, that if you restore ROM with x-recovery (not flash update.zip) all your data will be deleted, and to backup all your apps, you can use, for example, titanium backup
When you flash update.zip or any another .zip in xrecovery, all your data will be saved.

I know you should make a backup. So when you wipe and flash a new rom and kernel, do you restore data and that will restore all the programs you had prior at the time of the backup?
Thanks.

If you do an advanced restore of your data through CWM recovery, yes it will restore all your programs and settings. However, this can cause problems as the old data does not get along with some ROMs.

So it is best to just reinstall programs?
I would use Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro to back up you apps+data. After the flash you can either restore everything from the backup or just the data. Some people have said that it's best to re-download your apps from the market and only install the data from the backup (as opposed to restoring app and data). I don't know, I've done it both ways and have never noticed a difference.
Hello can anyone explain to me how to backup and after that restore data oh my android
Now i use TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 but now there is 4 versions new and i want to update.I read posts and people say that it's better to make fresh clean install,not update.
Ok i will.but cai i restore my aplications after that or i make install all of them again
Thank you
Do normal android backup via cwm, then wipe everything, flash new rom and after that go to the advanced restore and restore only data. But of course you can flash new rom directly and you will see if it's ok .
If it will be unsuccesful, you still have your backup ..
If you want to only restore your apps on the newer version, you could use Titanium Backup (from Android Market) to back up and restore the apps and their data caches.
I would first do a cwm backup, then back up the apps and their data with Titanium. Then flash the new ROM. Try first doing a custom restore -->data only, and if that doesn't work out for you, you can do a wipe and then install Titanium and at least restore your apps and their data caches.

You won't lose anything. Just make a CWM backup (as a failsafe, you shouldn't need it) then flash the new version over the old version. Don't do a wipe or anything like that, just flash it. After the update is completed, clear the cache partition (from the CWM menu) and the dalvik cache (in advanced in CWM) and reboot. First reboot may take some time but after that it should be as it was before, just with all of the updates to the ROM.
Just install new ROM
I have some situation like you have, Typhoon 3.7.0 update to 3.8.0! What I did is just pull the ROM to SD card, and then enter recovery choose " install a zip from sdcard" choose your files, and install and it just all set! Your personal data will not be delete!
i just installed this ROM from MIUI, didnt do task29, installed and wipe cache and dalvik.
i like this ROM but the Cynogen settings keeps giving me FC
anyone knows how to fix it without dong a wipe clean>?
also if i have to do task29 how to backup and restore my data? sorry noob here.

I don't quite understand your problem with Cyanogen settings, but to backup and restore just use the CWM backup. It will backup literally everything on your phone and any apps you have on your SD card. If you ONLY want to backup your app data and other data which you want to restore onto a different ROM, you can either:
1. Create a CWM backup and when restoring, go to advanced restore and restore data partition
2. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps, Super backup (I think that's what it's called at least) to backup contacts, SMS and call logs and (probably unnecessary but you might need it) APN backup & restore to backup your APN settings.

Thank you! I will try that
So I am currently on Paranoid Android and wish to switch to another ROM (most likely AOKP or PACman just to try). In TWRP recovery, what would I select to just back up my app data and NOT my ROM, and after that is possible, what must I restore to get it back and in what order of flashing alon with my new ROM and GAPPS???:silly:
You can go into TWRP and backup and choose what partitions you want to backup. However, I'd suggest you backup everything and don't try to restore the data to another ROM.
I use Titanium to backup all app data as well as MMS history, WiFi networks etc then do a full backup in TWRP. Then wipe everything and flash the new ROM. Then boot up and reconfigure accounts and restore apps + data with titanium.
It may be a little more effort but this way you can always roll back to the previous setup if anything goes wrong and you're less likely to run into any weird issues from moving data around between ROMs.
Or you could try something like app2zip off the play store to make a flashable zip of only selected apps and data which is probably safer than the whole partition. If you do a full backup first you can always rollback if something goes wrong.
When using Titanium Backup, when I hit run backup, where does it go and how do I restore it after I flash my new ROM. Or do I do the update.zip option and flash that when I'm doing my new ROM?

It goes into a folder on /sdcard called TitaniumBackup. When you flash a new rom, you will need to redownload titanium backup. When you redownload it, it will find the backups and you can click on the app to restore it.
Theres no need to use the update.zip method. Do it like this ^

Hi,
TWRP offer "nandroid backup" which is a phone backup solution, it work best to restore everything if you system data goes wrong and unable to start your phone. It also means you cannot selectively restore certain apps that you want with TWRP alone.
You can either use Helium (formerly Carbon) or Titanium Backup to backup your user apps. It will save your data so no worries here. For Titanium Backup to work, you need root. Helium works fine without root, but you need to install the desktop client.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for this tipp:
so if I make Nandroid Backup and Flash new Rom (4.3) and restore a nandroid Backup it go down again to 4.2.2 or it recover just apps / Images etc. to it?

Nandroid backup works like a system snapshot, so yes it will go back to 4.2.2 in ur case. Pictures & musics in /sdcard (/data/media) is untouched, they won't be backed up when nandroid or wiped when you do factory reset. It's an isolated zone for custom recovery.
