I would like to install a rom with full wipe. I have a nandroid backup. My concern is can I really restore all my data including apps and game file via the nandroid back up?

You can use the nandroid if you want to switch back to your old Rom and you'll have everything as it was. If you want to restore your apps and game file on the newly flashed Rom, you should use Titanium backup. This way, all you need to do is to reinstall Titanium backup on your new Rom, set the path to the backup directory in preferences and restore your apps.
Just pay attention and don't restore the system files.

also i would suggest a separate backup tool for the SMS, if u want to keep them on the newly installed ROM

Guys I need a little help.
I am planning on using stock Firmware. I am currently on Wanamlite v.18. I want a clean install just like when I am doing a Wipe prior to installing a custom ROM via CWM Recovery. But I don't want to lose all the files esp. those OBB's inside the Internal Memory:
This is my currenty setup
Wanamlite v1.8
Adam Kernel 1.8
PhilzTouch CWM-Based Recovery
GT-I9500
This is what I've thought of doing to properly execute my task:
Enter CWM Recovery and Wipe System, Data & Cache
Power-Off the unit and Enter Download Mode
Flash Stock Firmware (XXUBMG9, KSA) via Odin
Root, Flash Custom Recovery and Custom Kernel (Perseus or Adam)
Will my plan work or would each steps be in conflict of the other?
Many thanks for the answers!
I think you are on the right path...except that you have a chance of loosing your OBB files....so move them to a secure location and proceed...or better yet ...back up the app using the OBB file using titanium backup...that will ensure you have all the app data...there are many tutorials regarding this....then I think you can flash the stock Firmware. ..root the phone...then restore the app using titanium backup...good luck...hope this helps

How do you back-up those OBB files using Titanium Backup? I haven't tried that option.

As I mentioned. ..either you move the OBB files to a secure location or you have to back up all your apps via titanium backup.... the thing is OBB files are used in your apps...so when you backup your apps from TB....the obb files get backed up
When making a TB backup the only files that appear in the titanium backup folder are .properties. How come it is not Tar.gz the apps?

I can't help you on this but I also experienced this. I made a batch backup and upgraded to 4.3 on pa. I tried to restore my backups but i found only properties extension files and no tar or gz. I thought I did something wrong or the process in upgrading (factory reset) caused this. I think factory reset deleted my backups. And I didn't copy my backups to my computer, since I haven't done a factory reset in a long time.

Try changing the backup folder location in your TB preferences to /storage/emulated/legacy or upgrade to the latest TB version.
Hey guys,
I have a little problem here. Since 4.3 Titanium Backup doesn't find any backups of apps I did on 4.3.
So everytime I backup like Whatsapp, do a factory reset or flash a different ROM and want to flash the backup of Whatsapp through Titanium Backup I can't because Titanium Backup doesn't show it. Even after backupping and rebooting, the backup won't show.
I already tried to change the backup folder and so on but it didn't help

Titanium has been flaky lately with no update for a while.
Preferences go to backup folder location and click select device. Search whole device and select legacy instead of 0 which was the default. Use select folder and click no to moving the backups over as they are really the same place.

After going though the same procedure that noob15 explained, which was a must for upgrading to 4.3, I've had no problems.
If you've made no other changes the default folder for is "TitaniumBackup" located on your mnt/sdcard/, and inside it you should find all your backups.
If you can find no such folder, or if it's empty, you've probably managed to delete the backups.
The joke is that I can find the backups via a file manager or through PC when connected via USB in all these folders. Only Titanium Backup fails to find them
yeah i have the same problem, change the backup folder and doesnt help.
I just got into rooting and stuff, and I see that I need to have a nandroid backup. But when I do the backup can I store it on my pc and delete it from my phone? If I get into a bootloop or something how am I supposed to restore the backup?

You can save the nandroid backup just like any other files. Save a copy of backup to your PC but don't delete it from your phone. The recovery has backup and restore options.
If you delete the backup from your phone and copy it to your pc then if your phone ever crashes then you will have to push the files to the appropriate folder via adb to restore it to the folder before you can restore the backup. Easier to just leave it on you phone....

Use titanium backup for apps.
Backup using twrp or cwm recovery and drag the file to your pc.

U can put it on your PC and delete the backup on your phone. As long as u have TWRP, u can restore from SD card. Not sure bout CWM...

Nandroid backups is only. Of the reasons I use Illusion ROM. super lightweight, but packs tons of goodness inside it. Frees up at least 500 mb of storage.

Worst case, you do a factory reset through your recovery then copy the Nandroid back to the phone and install it.
I've emailed Titanium Backup twice and they never respond, so I thought I'd try my luck here.
Is there a way to backup the custom filters created inside Titanium Backup?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk
The filters are saved in /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/filters and custom so just backup those files
