I have downloaded titanium and understand how to back up apps but I am lost on how to pull them back and restore them once I have done and wipe and flashed a rom. Anyone have some advice on how to do this? I have searched the web and cant seem to find a place that gives a good explanation
When you backup an app or app+data with Titanium Backup it is saved to your SD Card. When you wipe and flash a new rom, if the rom does not have Titanium Backup (most don't have it cooked in) then you need to download it from the market. It will see the backups you have and from the main app screen you will click on Backup/Restore. Then click on the app that you wish to restore and it will bring a pop-up that gives you buttons with actions to choose from. Click Restore and it will ask if you want to restore the App only or app+data. If you choose App+Data, it should restore to the state that it was in when you made the backup, meaning that it should retain your settings.

So outside of doing a batch backup every now and then to keep everything up today I dont have to do anything else but just reload titanium on the new rom
Not that I know of.
All,
I'm thinking of doing a full system wipe and reinstall cyanogenmod 7.03. What I don't understand is the steps involved. When you do a full wipe, Titanium is not installed. So after the first reboot, do you skip through android initial set up and go to market and install titanium backup? And once you go to market you need to log on anyways, so once you log on, by default it will automatically download all missing apps.
So I need a step by step on how to recover backup from titanium after a full wipe. Also, can it backup my settings for my adw launcher ex? Like restore how my widgets look etc....
Thanks!

Once you do the wipe and boot up just sign in to Google as usual because your gonna have to in order to download Titanium Backup. Its supposed to automatically reinstall your apps once you sign in but I've noticed that on GB ROMs it doesn't for me.
Once in Titanium hit menu and hit batch. Scroll down to restore and select which one you want to run. You can select which apps you want to restore or deselect which ever. You can also select if you want to restore the data associated with your apps or just the apps themselves. As for ADW, not sure as I dont use it.
can batch restoring also include system applications which are not relevant if I have installed a completely different rom? is it harmless, or it can override important system applications with same name and cause problems?

I know you can back them up and restore them but on different ROMs I dont think they'll play right. Not sure about that because I have never backed system apps or settings do to flashing different ROMs. Give it a try and see what happens. Just make sure you backup in case some thing goes wrong.
How can I back up my apps and restore them on a fresh rom? I have titainium back up pro. But I tried to flash a new rom and the app was gone. Do I need to partisan my SD or move apps to the sd-ext?

With titanium backup you have to download the "pro version" which is only the key to unlock all the features of titanium backup. Find titanium backup on the market install it open it up and press the menu button-batch-and click backup all apps and data- then you flash a new rom- redownload titanium backup "some roms come with it" and titanium backup pro key "you don't have to buy it again" and then open titanium backup- click menu- tap batch- tap restore all apps and data- let it do its thing
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.

Hello, I've understood that to be able to perform a ROM switch, without losing any data (SMS, etc...), I need to backup from TWRP
System, Data and Boot. But to keep my "datas" from the apps I use, how do I proceed ? Is the option "Backup all apps" from Titanium will be enough ? Or do I need to save as well with Titanium the data settings ? I have some problems with this.
I used to run Cataclysm but now I want to test Purity (won't go on JSS builds)
Thanks in advance !
Hit the Box in titanium backup up top with the checkmark (between the menu and search button) backup all user apps.
After wiping and installing new Rom, hit the same button, scroll down to restore missing apps with data.
I only backup and restore user's app, with the exception of "Phone/Messaging Storage....38(SMS/MMS/APN)" That's for backing up messages. Also "Call log".
This is with Titanium backup.
