[Q] How to transfer one phone's info to another?

My Vibrants USB connector is screwy and im going to ask for a replacement. Once I get my replacement, how I do transfer my info?
Contacts and Calendar will automatically get transfered from Google.
With Titanium Backup - do I just copy that folder over from one internal SD to the other and then proceed to reinstall apps?
What about other app data, etc.. Should I just copy over folders from one to other? Would that work?

All of the above should work just fine.

I'll just echo shrivel and say you should be fine doing that however you will probably need to download the actual apps as the all's don't save with Titanium. Basically when you go to the market and download an app the apk is saved and installed on your phone what titanium will do is save all the data once you make a change to your phone say installing a Rom it wipes the data and uninstalls all of your apps. But it does not delete the apk so when you use titanium to restore it looks for that apk to reinstall it with the same data and setting. If you completely wipe your phone or copy the backup file to a new phone titanium will be looking for the apk to reinstall but its not there.
I know that was kind of long and if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

I'm doing this right now and cant seem to get it to work.
I have titanium and a friend backed everything up to my ext. sd card.
How do I get titanium to pull it off of the sd card? Or if I transfer it to the internal card in a folder (which is what its in) how do I get titanium to see the folder?
I can see the folder with astro on the internal card, but titanium doesn't see it?
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

your backup folder containing all the backups should be named TitaniumBackup and placed on the root of your internal sdcard. or you can specify the name of your backup folder in the preferences menu in titaniumbackup.
also, titianium backs up your app+data for you, so you don't need to re-download it from the market. if you want to backup other stuff like call log, text messages, home screen icons, phone contacts etc, use 'mybackup pro'

I feel like an idiot, How do I get to the root?
Do I have to use a computer to do it? or can I transfer the files there from the sd card or the internal memory?

In astro if you press the home button it should take you to the root of the internal sd. Top should say that you are in directory /sdcard. Just move the TitaniumBackup folder to there and it should work.
EDIT: The home button in astro BTW, at the top under the notification bar, not the android home button on the bottom of the phone.

titanium backup folder is there and all the files are in it.
When I open up the app titanium back up, go to back up/ restore and then hit menu, batch, I don't see the files that are in that folder only whats on the phone as it came from tmobile (none of my apps and files)
What am I doing wrong or failing to do?

If your going back to the same kernel/ROM you can do a nandroid backup of your system files as well.

[Q] Problem with Tiamat 2.1 or general problem with Android 3.2

Hello,
ich have the backupstore from Titaniumbackup on my external micro-sdcard. Titaniumbackup cannot write in this folder. When i move the backupstore to the internal sdcard i have no problems with TB. With a filemanager (root explorer, es exploerer) i have no problems with the external sdcard.
Is this a bug in TB, Tiamat or Android 3.2?
with best regards
Michael

You have the wrong version of Clockworkmod Recovery installed. You have v4.0.0.x, which is not working with external sdcard.
You need to flash Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c--this is especially for the Xoom.

Hello,
is this a recovery Rom? have you a link for me?
Thank you for your help

Not sure exactly what your problem is. My Titanium backups are on my sdcard and have no problems backing up or restoring from the sdcard. On Titanium go to preferences and change your back up folder location to /mnt/external1/TitaniumBackup.

Exactly. If you can't find the mnt/external1 folder, just hit the back button once or twice.

(Solved)[Q] I can't restore my previous rom from recovery (CLK)

Hi every
I used recovery to backup my rom and after I tried another roms I decided to come back the previous one.so I copied the backup folder including all files to Sd-Card and used "restore and backup option" in recovery(CLK),but it seems it cant find any file to restore.
what should I do?

did you move the files fromthe sd card to your computer and back again? did you rename any of the folders?

remembering too taht cwm looks in 'clockwork/backup' not just backup.

of course I moved back to sd card.all files are in one folder.the name is the date and time that I made backup.I think when I copied it to sd-card renamed it to "backup".does it matter?

I didn't get what you are saying.I went to CWR and advanced\restore and backup

Cwr looks in the folder "sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-11-21.23.27.32/" (example date from my backup folder) so it sounds like you aren't copying the backup to the correct place.

titanium backup failed

so I backed up everything with titanium backup, and copied the whole contents of my internal storage to my pc, then I wiped and flashed 4.2. Now I copied my titanium backup folder back to my internal storage, and guess what? It doesn't see any of my apps! what gives?

4.2 does something strange because of the new Multi-User Feature.
Place the TiBu folder where you want it.
Open the app and click on the settings button.
Click on Preferences.
Look for backup folder location.
Click on detect and wait.
If that doesnt find it the back arrow soft-key will take you up to the previous folder keep going up till you get to the root folder (by root folder i mean when it says "/") and then from there find your backups.
hope this helps

U will have your nandroid backup in internal or external memory depending on where u have saved it
example if u have CWM there will be a folder clockworkmod that has the backup delete that and done

My nand backup is in my internal memory.
So should I just delete the clockworkmod folder delete my nand backup? When I opened the folder, there's nothing in it. (Dunno if that's because I dont have root access anymore?)

Wrong folder or you don't have a nand backup.
