I don't normally use it... but I've started to. When doing a backup do we do all app+ system data and then when we recover, do we do all apps+data? Going from sense to senseless wouldn't that mess things up as it's recovering some HTC frameworks?

when i do it, I goto backup/restore tab at the top and then I hit menu and then batch and then I do back up all apps. I dont worry about anything else. Its just setting things up. the apps is where the PITA starts, ya know?
and when you restore just restore apps
apps + data is fine if you add system data some times bad things can happen when going from rom to rom
I use titanium backup and MyBackup Pro. I think My backup pro is more friendly when switching roms.

How do you backup your email settings? Also, If your browser doesn't have the export bookmarks option, how do you backup your bookmarks? I know Miren Browser has it, but I'm not sure if CM Stock and Xscope has it.
I've had a bad experience in that I can't seem to get TB to back up angry birds properly.
Every time I switch roms I run my restore and angry birds is an instant force close. I've tried just grabbing it from the market and restoring data only but it gives me the same problem.
Any ideas?
Other than that, TB is the ****.

I back up User Apps+Data, then when I restore, I only restore Apps, and then go through and restore data for the programs I need it with (Tweetcaster, Tapatalk, Facebook etc.) and I've never had any major problems.
Whom I restored my Dolphin all bookmarks were still there.

Am I doing something wrong? I've restored the calls using a special program that makes its own backup, but I'd rather do it all from within TB if that was possible.
I've restored all of the green items and rebooted, but the logs did not come back.
I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that TB backs up call logs. As much as the developer maintains it you'd think he would build that in, but I'm not aware of such a feature.
Called logs are part of 'system data', which I don't think is a 'green item' in TB. Try restoring all system data. Also, if you are going from one version of Android to another, you may have to enable "migrate system data" option in TB's preferences.
"Dialer Storage" is the item that holds your call logs and sms/mms messages
It backs up my call logs...
Also, this would be better in q & a

Did u happen to switch between 2 different roms?
My logs are restored when I use restore all apps and system data. You have to be careful about doing that between firmware versions.

Totally agree with this^^^^. More times than not it causes problems.
The "red stuff" its ok to restore data for. At least for me. But things like settings I usually do manually

Sure it does. Restore data to whatever launcher you are using. ie twlauncher.
Has anyone tried out App Manager and App Manager Pro by JRummy? I have been using it instead of Titanium. Pro version has freeze apps, wipe app cache, tons of options ...

I use both this and TB. Personally I like MyBackup for backup and restore of SMS, MMS, and call logs. TB I use for restoring individual applications and their data. But I used both to backup everything just in case one of them fails to backup and/or restore something.
Well here's what I do...
Go through my individual apps and if there's a "backup" setting I create those (including SMS backup).
Run titanium backup of all apps.
Take screen shots of my home screens (to remember icon/ widget placement).
Any other ideas to help ease the migration?
You can get a custom launcher and save all your settings and placements...I use nova launcher

I use nova as well. Still has the stock feel with all the customizations and the backup and restore feature is very nice, especially if you're a flashaholic.

Titanium to backup all my apps
SMS backup & restore for my sms
Nova launcher to backup home setup+ widgets
titanium backup for apps
mybackup pro (you'll need to crack it if you want to do restores between CM and MIUI) - because it does MMS unlikes SMS restore & backup.
and a recovery backup ..
I use My Backup Pro to backup app+data, homescreen with shortcuts/widgets, settings, call logs, SMS, contacts (Though I prefer to sync with google contacts),
Can't believe nobody listed nandroid 1st. My apps are backed up by schedule, don't need to do that. 1st I back up SMS, then use a wipe-all script in recovery to speed things up. After flashing on reboot, I have a TB .apk on the SD ready so I can pop that on quick without hitting the play store. I created a label of all the apps I want to restore so I don't waste time choosing apps one by one, and then BAM...! One button restore. Restore SMS, reboot, profit!
Since I change ROMs often as I change shirts , all I do is nandroid if it's a real good ROM; other than that I start from scratch and install apps as I need them.
if i press advanced restore and restore /data. its same as TPB ? he restore on data or apk + data ? thanks
Ok, wait woah. I feel stupid. Now, I've been flashing roms since back when Oxygen GB was all the rage, but I never realized I could use Titanium Backup&Restore, to backup and restore all of my apps! Derp. So how do I go about restoring them?
I use this method from the AOKP FAQ:
5. Best way to restore apps with Titanium Back up?
Open TiBu.
Menu/ Preferences/ App processing mode/ AUTO Direct
Create backup (Menu/ Batch/ backup/ Click the gray Run button: Backup all user apps) Do not backup or restore system data
Choose Pause active apps/ Run the batch operation
Back/ Menu/ More/ Create "update.zip."
Under "Titanium backup will be install as: "choose “System application”
Move update.zip to root of the sdcard
Flash the ROM, GApps and BEFORE rebooting,mount /system
Choose install zip, and select the zip you created
Reboot
Skip the initial device setup screen Tap top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners in that order
Launch TiBu and do Menu/ Batch/ Restore all user apps plus data
Reboot
Settings/ Accounts and Sync/ Add your Google account
More info: Titanium Backup WikI
Using this method I usually just restore essential apps and other apps only when I'm sure I'm going to be staying on the new ROM for awhile.

google backup and restore is fair enough lol
Titanium Backup and SMS Backup + .
And just for save backup all my new photos/videos/wallpapers to PC. That should be enough.
Came across Go Backup and it can backup everything like SMS , MMS , contacts, call logs, stock launcher settings and Apps with data as well.
Importantly, you can restore all at once without clicking on install button for every app

I still do not understand why people backup and restore SMS. Do you people not delete them ever either?

Nor really. Since the phone as memory enough to save all SMS. Beside that sometimes for me already helped to find some SMS with the date that someone told me something and with that I just search for it and turn my point right.

What apps? You can't restore system apps.

I can't restore user apps.
When you switch ROMs, what's the easiest way to restore everything else? Android will restore apps (and their data?) but how do you restore all your shortcuts, folders and such?
There are so many cool ROMs on here to try but it takes me hours to restore everything, I usually just try one and end up keeping it.
Titanium Backup Pro, take a full system backup, after flashing a new ROM just restore the install missing apk option only, and other than text messages and call logs, everything will be restored.
Nova Launcher

I used to backup apps using ES and also install them back and finally after installing all apps, I used to recover my Nova backup, which would setup my homescreen, icons, widgets and shortcuts...
I'd recommend not to backup and restore app data for all apps as I see few people reporting issues with it

So, you DO NOT recommended using an automated system to restore apps and data?
What do you do instead? Do you just re-install all of them manually? That's so time consuming, it takes me almost a whole day!

I'll open the apk backup folder in ES and select all and click Install. I'll automatically show next app once the first one is installed. Just need to Click install and done. No need to manually go back to folder and install separately

If it's not recommended to backup and restore app data, then isn't it easier just to use Android's built in app backup and restore?
