From my understanding using Titanium Backup on MIUI can cause problems (has done in the past) I was just wondering what you guys would recommend in getting my stuff across?
Titanium backup will be fine, but if you're worried you can always use ADB backup instead.
I would be more worried about if your backups are from an older version of android.

Could you expand on that please?
TB in the past has caused problems such as force close etc coming from MIUI which makes sense as it's a different framework.

Hi guys
i was just wondering if there is a faster way to reinstall applications after doing a wipe?
example ext backup from nandroid?
i try out a lot of roms but eventually want something new and i just hate having to reinstall applications all over again
thanks
faster than what?
the ext backup from a nandroid will copy the apk files back to your ext partition, but doesn't recreate the market links. titanium backup will do this, and will do it fast in the donate version.
Just a random thought: Say you've backed up all of your apks using Titanium Backup, is there a way we can copy all the apks to a new ROM all in go (just like how the ext backup does it) and then let the Market Doctor on Titanium Backup restore the market links later?
Surely this way it'll be quicker, right?

Donate version of Titanium Backup does that. It restores all your apk's with data in one click. Well worth $3.99.

Yeah it does, but it takes quite a while (especially when you have a lot of apps).

I use Android Commander for backing up the apps and restoring them after flashing a new ROM. It's one (automated) process of about 2 minutes (for my apps list).
Mind it though that it only installs the apks, just like they'd come from the market, the settings and cached info gets lost.
PS: I can't post links just yet but you can look for this tool in the "Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps subforum"

Totally agree. I usually have between 130 and 200 apps installed (I try lots of apps because I'm a curious sort), so restoring may take 15 minutes, but that means all my settings AND market links are restored, so everything shows up in My Downloads.. that's worth a little wait!

Agreed. Very good advice
Personally I just use shell, having previously copied all my apps to a folder on my sdcard
# mkdir /sdcard/sppz
# cp -a /data/app/* /sdcard/appz
You can do this with paid apps but to avoid banning I won't say how
Then restore with
# cp -a /sdcard/appz/* /data/app/
Only restores apks tho, no settings but handy for new time as it doesn't require an app. You canjust use adb
Hi everyone,
I know there is a lot of backup apps but I've not found one that physically backs up the app and then restores it (re-installs) after installing a new rom.
Can anyone suggest an app that will do this?

You can use Titanium Backup for when you are rooted and Carbon for when you are not rooted or you do have root. Both are good but Carbon doesn`t require root.
Btw i would only backup user apps and data and no system apps.
I have titanium backup, but last time it didn't actually backup the installed apps only the data. Is that the case still? Or will I have to go ahead and re-download all the apps?

Usualy it also backs up user data as well as the apps. Maybe you chose the wrong backup option?
adb backup is always there, thats google own integrated backup agent inside your nexus. trigger it via shell or nexus toolkit.
i've tried carbon though and im blown away.

why wouldn't you back up system apps?
Because they cause problems most of the time if you restore them on another rom or after upgrading a rom.

How can i backup my AOKP Build3‘s System Settings and restore it in build5??
You can flash 5 over existing installs. You have one of the first builds 1-4 installed?

Theres an app on the market by romanb aokp backup or something. It cost money but its well worth it. Either that or restore data(not app) from titanium

Have you tried a nandroid before and then an advanced restore just restoring data? Alternatively you will have to use titanium to preserve settings
I have titanium backup set to sync the backup to my dropbox after it backs everything up. O have it set to do this automatically everyday at like 2am (my phone is not powered off) . I keep getting this error: com.sidhe interactive.sif.dr ? What does it mean. Also, does tb delete the backup it creates locally after uploading
It? If not how can I do this?
The backup is roughly 500mb and I have 50gb of storage

Why are you taking backups daily? You only really need to do it when changing ROMs

Yes, it backs up everything except /sdcard (as we see it, technically this is a mountpoint, but that's for another thread) but that isn't an issue as you can backup those using a plan old USB cable if you really need too.

Wow great find!! Thanks, only one more question though , I really just want my system data (apps,data,contacts) backed up and if I was to back up by having a nandroid Backup and I was too switch roms , I couldn't just restore the apps?

I'm not sure how well this would work between ROMs but you can do an advanced restore and restore only the /data partition if I'm not mistaken. I reckon it would be quite dangerous seeing as this probably includes system settings so I wouldn't recommend it unless you were desperate. The best solution is to just use Titanium and only backup when you need to (i.e. switching ROMs) rather than every day. For other things, Google can automatically sync them or you can use other backup apps (e.g. messages).
I have been rooted for a while, and have always had a custom ROM but I wanna try going stock using xposed. How would I flash the stock image? Do I just treat it exactly like a new ROM? Or do I have to do something special or different? I normally use Titanium, but I will make both a titanium backup and a nandroid backup if I do this. Thank you for any help.

So, make a titanium backup of system and data, copy that file on to my PC, and then once I am at stock, download titanium, put it in whatever folder it was in, and i'm good?

As long as I keep all my downloads, pictures, apps and data i'm fine. Just like every time I do a bakup I do all user apps only. I meant to say internal storage not system BTW. I don't care if I keep system.
