Does anyone else find it very time consuming to have to reinstall all of your data after every rom wipe? I find my self never leaving a rom for awhile because of the whole set up process including the Google set up.
It takes me an hour.

This is why Titanium Backup and Mybackup Root were written...
Titanium backup does all of that for you.... 20 minutes and your new ROM is setup

I suppose Ti is best, but I haven't seen a ics friendly one available on the open seas
Nandroid? I only have 1 one my phone and thats 2.3.3 stock.
They take long to make, then they just sit there wasting space. Its not like you can just go back to them lime nothing, because by that time they'll be outdated.

Titanium is definitely ics friendly. If you have pro (or on free.. idk), set up filters with your must have apps. When you clear data ans flash a new rom, it will verify your TB account and restore settings, including filters. Just toggle the filter and do a batch restore. I was in the same boat you were til I started doing this.
And yes, TB also has a feature to restore apps or data, extracting from a nandroid backup.

Or you could use es file explorer. Just go to the app manager button on the central screen, by pressing it it shows up all ur apps. Choose which ones you want and back them up. After flashing just restore using file explorer in the same manner...
The apps can also be found on the sdcard under backups/apps.
Astrofile manager does exactly the same job.. your pick.

With Titanium Backup I can be back up and running in about 10 minutes.
Sign into Gmail
Sign into Outlook
Download TB from market
Restore apps and data
Done
Does anyone partition using cmw? I think its possible to some how do that, like save Ti as the drive, so all you have to do is just sign in to Google rather than having to download it.

just save a copy of a TB apk to your SD.
Thats if the custom rom that has a file explorer preloaded. If not has to download also from market
Another annoying thing Google doesn't add to OS besides a restart option is a built in file explorer

TB pro has an option to create a TB update.zip This will allow you to flash/install TB threw CWR

thats ridiculous:
1. im pretty sure ive noticed mine being around 6 minutes
2. they arent a waste of space since they are a back up file. i keep 3 always deleting the oldest one.
3. you CAN go back to them at anytime like nothing
4. i make mine every wednesday while im showering (which takes more then 6 minutes)

Wrong. Even the free one lets you create a flashable zip.
Moreover, you could make it build as a regular update.zip or even make it install as a system app or an user app.

how the **** am i wrong i never said free one didn't

Noob question...flashed phone for first time yesterday and performed a backup using titanium free. When I flash a new rom don't you usually have to wipe data first? Would this not wipe the backup from your phone?
Thanks in advance!
It stores a copy in a folder called TitaniumBackup. If you wipe the SD card (or storage for us) that is different.
It is a hassle having to reinstall an app like Chase that requires a confirmation text. TB (Pro for me) makes restoring login info, etc a snap. Worth the $.

So when I flash a new rom and wipe data, the SD card (storage) is not wiped?
Thanks!

Noob replying to a noob (so pardon me, if i stumble):
When flashing a new ROM, you wipe - system, dalvik cache, data and boot ( perhaps not reqd.) Wiping SD card not required when installing new ROMs, unless it's the first time, and you're putting CWR on a Nexus S... However, some developers do recommending a full SD Card wipe as well. I assume you copy the Titanium backup folders to your PC, and copy it back before restoring.. Haven't tried that yet..

Probably will have to buy Pro, since it's getting to be a pain to restore my apps, with the permissions for each one...
Somehow, TiBackup doesn't seem to restore my homescreen settings, though I remember reading somewhere that it should do that as well..
Also, learnt the hardway not to try restoring Call logs and Messages when moving from a GB ROM to an ICS ROM... Boot loops with 2 ICS roms (Nexusbeam and Brainmaster's )
So, what all can you restore using TiB with your eyes closed?
I am still new to this phone, but with the Evo we had a zip file that wiped the system, data, cache, etc instead of remembering which ones to wipe. Maybe there is something like that for the Nexus?
I only restore apps, so I am not much help outside of that. With TB Pro all you have to do is click batch and restore all the apps with data automatically while you sit there and wait. I generally restore user apps only, maybe someone else can chime in with advice on restoring settings?
There is also an option to save backups on your drop box account, but I don't.
I am a flashaholic, one of the reasons I bought a used NS4G was because I was bored with the Evo. Titanium Backup (Pro) makes it fast and easy to restore apps and data when flashing new ROMs.

Hey guys, I dunno if is the right section, however,
I read everywhere, everytime, to not restore data app when flashed a new rom with tb. I do it everytime, and not a single problem, till the lasts time: sometimes, some apps FC. Not a big deal, just wipe app data from tb and all restart working. However, this is not the point: when I go from a gb rom to an ics rom, I know that is (this time really) not good to restore app data with tb.
So the question is: could I restore only the app without app data or it could be some problem? If I restore only the app without data, is like automatically apk install or not?
Thanks all 4 reply, and sorry for bad English/American

Restore app only no issue just the minor bugs reported by ics. Do not restore any system apps. If there is any issue like white emails or blank pages just go yi manage app and clear data and cache. If you get blurred fonts lije some also just restart the launcher your using like nova or trebuchet.

My Tb Track Record
I've been using TB for a while now, as I've become somewhat of a flashaholic. That being said, and as was mentioned, never restore any system apps or system app data. The incompatibilities that may occur possibly are from trying to restore an app that hasn't been updated to work with the new operating system, such as going from GB to ICS or JB. I always try to run app updates prior to creating my latest back-up before flashing a new ROM. I've been lucky so far (and probably because I'm usually late to the game and the app has been updated).
Can I back up the app data on a Galaxy Nexus with Titanium Backup and then restore the data to those same apps on my Nexus 10?

Yes but I suggest to just restore apps not app/data. Since it came from a different device N10 may not like the data stored in those apps and you'll more then likely run into problems.

The apps are easy, I don't need those restored. It's the data that's important. That's what I need restored..all my settings, game progress, etc.
Yes I'm wondering the same thing. I'd like to be able to get game saves from my galaxy nexus. It would be even more awesome if the saves could sync.
No problem for me to restore app + data from my Galaxy Note under JB...
Of course I haven't done this with system app

Restoring game data or downloaded app settings data is fine with Titanium Backup from one device to another.
You do not want to restore any system app data/settings. I've done it for years moving from old phone to new phone or old tablet to new tablet.
User apps = OK
System apps = BAD

Thank you.
How can I do this? I moved the two backup files onto my new device but I'm not sure how to get them to restore in TBU so I can restore them. I tried importing them but that fails. I can now see the app in my list of downloads (with a line through it) but when I try to restore it doesn't work. It appears as if it works but the app is not on my device.
Do I need to first install the app from Play and then restore over that? I'm missing a step here.

I've not tried doing any of this yet, but one problem would be the device I. D. has changed between the new device & old one. I would think that the app (especially a paid one) would first have to be installed via Play Store to the new device. Then maybe "data only" restored? When I change roms, my device ID always changes also, and before any paid apps can be re-installed I have to allow TiBu to restore the old ID first.

Can I backup my 2012 N7 and restore it to my 2013?
The 2012 is rooted and unlocked on 4.3.
If so when I boot it up should I tell it to load everything from google play restore, skip it, where to start.
Thanks!
If you're talking about a NANDROID, you can't.

You can back up your apps and system data (wifi, sms etc) with Titanium or ROM Toolbox, and restore it to the new tablet.
Be aware that restoring app data to another ROM may be problematic for some apps, so be ready to erase app data for apps that misbehave (no notifications, force closes etc.).
Don't ever restore system data to a device that is not the same model and does not have the same ROM. Only restore your apps and app data.

So an adb backup would be fine then.

If you are rooted, you can use titanium backup to save all of your apps and data. Save the titanium backup folder on your SD to your computer then do whatever you need to do. After that, put the folder where it needs to go and use TB to restore them.
ADB is fine as long as you do not restore any system apps or data.

First of all, thanks to all for the quick help! I am leaving on vacation in a day and kinda wanted to get this going
So in Titanium I would do a full backup with option 1 it looks like "Backup all user apps" since I don't want any system data.
Pushing it to a USB drive now. No SD on a Nexus 7 sadly.
Exactly. Then save the titanium backup folder that your backups get saved to, to a safe place off of the device

What steps do I (or anyone) need to take to prepare for a ROM upgrade ( like sacs)? I have titanium and known how to do a full recovery backup. How would I use titanium?
Use TB to back up all your user apps and data. That way you can restore them after you wipe your phone before installing your new rom. Make sure you change the folder for your backup to the external sdcard first. Also, do not back up system apps with TB. If you restore system apps to a new rom you will be replacing files in the new rom and will most likely have problems. You can also back up you sms and call logs and restore them after install.
There is only the option for apps +system data. Apps. And system data. But no options for apps and data (app data) . Any help?

The apps backup will also backup your app data.
