Hello
I always used titanium backup to do 2 kind of backups, new apps -apks- and modified data of apps.
But I saw that even with that, the second one, doesn't true make backups of modified data anymore. For example nova, I move apps between folders but titanium doesn't detect it anymore so it doesn't do new backups.
any idea why? Is it a problem of titanium with note 3?

I know some people had issues with backing up or restoring with titanium because of Knox, there's a thread with a command to disable knox, but beware it probably triggers the knox chip in your phone to 0x1, nobody has answered this for me and I'd like to know because I rooted with root de la vega which doesn't trigger this chip, it leaves it at 0x0.

Excuse me if this has been covered before, but is there a way to backup the device in a way, that if i root it, and then flash some ROM to it, and i mess up or just want to go back to my previous state?
I read something about nandroid? But in order for me to do that, i need root. Correct? so, what if i want to "unroot" my device? and is nandroid suitable for the Desire?
What does nandroid actually do? Does it back up everything?
nandroid makes images of all of the disk, so it's a full backup, but it's having issues restoring those backups to the Desire at the moment. And yes, you'll need to at least get to the recovery menu to run nandroid for now.
The only other route of which I know is just backing up apps and data, and you can use Titanium Backup for that (or MyBackup, I think). Without root, when you restore the apps, you won't be able to tell the Market you have these things installed, though. Doing that still requires you to fully reflash and do some setup, though. I don't think there's a cut-and-dry backup and full restore method at the moment. If there is, I'd certainly be interested...
I am also in the hunt for a good backup application. Dont mind paying as long as work as it should. But i dont think there is any backup application that can backup applications (most of them maybe just supported some limited apps).

Titanium Backup will back up everything that's on your phone except for apps installed by the system (and those it'll try and backup if you're rooted). It's worked flawlessly for me.

I am trying Titanium now at the moment....just wondering I have seen a lot of application backup options/lists?? but where is the options to backup SMS, contacts, etc?? I find the UI is a little complex.
So is the best way of doing it.. Backup.. Copy folder to pc...
Then when i wanna restore.. Install titanium. copy license and folder back?

Titanium backup only does apps.
Personally I use MyBackup, it backs up settings, sms, calender, home screens, settings e.t.c. as well as apps and keeps market links intact.
Well worth the money.
Ive got both now lol! have to wait till i install a new rom.. ill try mybackup first then

I just moved from one ROM to another smoothly with Titanium. I recommend it.
How to Backup you Desire before rooting it ?
Titanium requires Rooted phone ......
other Appli ?
You can try Sprite Backup but no application will work that well without root, sorry.
Is anybody test Sprite Backup?
I think MyBackup Pro and Titanium are similar when you have the system app active.
Hi
barring rooting the device and doing a nand backup/restore, I have used Sprite Backup in the past on my diamond (XDAndroid) successfully and it u could also use the application backup/restore with Astro (from the marketplace) and for txt msgs use sms backup -
http://github.com/jberkel/android-sms/tree/restore_backups - Backup/restore to gmail account
Is this possible?
My HTC Dinc2 is rooted, running android v. 2.3.
Helium says it's incompatible with my old phone.
I was hoping to take my time with rooting the Galaxy Note 3, but have a lot of stuff I'd like to transfer over.

If they are Play store apps, they will install when you boot the Note 3.
The data from them however won't be transferred.
The best way (keeping the data) would be to Titanium Backup the apps on an external SD or Dropbox, the install them on N3, but obviously you'd have to root.
If it's the functionality of the apps and the data isn't important then go ahead.

What I'm mainly interested in is restoring the apk/data of apps that are no longer available from the play store.
Backing them up is easy, since the old phone is rooted, but AFAIK, they can't be restored on an unrooted phone?

Do a full backup in Titanium Backup "just in case". Then do another one with Helium:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
(in my experience the program is vastly inferior to Titanium Backup and YMMV but in theory it works on non-rooted devices).

Can't use Helium, since my old phone is on android 2.3.
And how would I use the TB backup on an unrooted Note 3?

The first thing you'd be asked once you launch TB is to grant supersu access. So not possible without root

They may be available in Aptoid.
Try it on your HTC prior to the note.
Won't keep your data - I use it for older versions of apps or ones that have been removed.
Why can't you install the app, this may be a problem if KK is incompatible, copy the data to a PC then transfer to either sd card or internal memory overwriting the base data from the install?
Might take a while but it should work...
Worth a shot....
Hi,
My old phone was an Galaxy S (i9000) and now I have bougth the Galaxy S 5.
The i 9000 was rooted and I have backedup all Apps + Data to the SD card.
The S5 is new and I dont want to losst the warranty if I Root the phone, so I was wondering if it is possible to Restore all Apps data from the old phone to the new one without root.
Is it possible to do it without a PC?
Thanks,
Titanium Backup should be able to do it, not sure if it needs root though
But also not sure it's a good idea to restore data from a different model phone, which is likely running a different version of Android
You could turn on Google Backup on the old phone, and log into the same G Account on the new S5, and it might restore some things for you that way

The data I was talking about is from games and apps (some games, whatsapp, notes, etc.).
I was not talking about system data.

Copy the titanium backup folder from your old phone to your new phone. Install TiBu and restore apps&data.
I'd do this by:
1 connect old phone to PC via USB
2 copy Titanium Backup folder from old phone to PC
3 connect new phone to PC and copy Titanium Backup folder to same place on the new phone
4 install Titanium Backup on the new phone
5 restore apps&data
OR
1 in TiBu backup apks and data to SD card
2 put SD card in new phone
3 fire up TiBu and restore backup

If you live in EU you can root and keep your warranty.
Also you can root and keep Knox untouched http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
Or you can try Helium, it's like TiBu but doesn't need root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
So doing fresh installs of roms is hard work (you get the idea).
What is your way to restore the apps you use and love to get back as soon as your phone is fresh? What method do you use? Is there an/several apps or piece of software that you prefer? What do you think is the most effective solution?
Titanium backup works pretty well as long as you don't touch system apps.
Since the first release of Titanium Backup I only use that app. With pro version the restore of hundred apps is really quick. The only thing is a problem restoring account settings in nougat builds, which didn't work properly... But that's OK for all of time Titanium Backup saves to you

I know that titanium backup is very popular, but there might be something else out there, someone who has used titanium backup and figured out a better paradigm. A app name does not complete the story of a great restoring practice!
It's a start with two votes for the Titanium backup. But where do you store your data, because that is also not really clear. If you are paying I guess that you would use a web service, which one is the best? Or do you relay on your computer because it might be faster file transfers through USB then a web service? Because once the backup is done and it is time to wipe, nothing will be salvaged? Or do you go for the USB as android system mounted extend or as a separate sd-card disk? Here are lots of pro and cons.
I am probably being a little anal but I kept my Titanium backups on my SD card, Google Drive, and Dropbox. I really could tell no difference between Google and Dropbox as far as cloud storage goes. I played around with Hellium but I always liked the extras I used in TB like freezing/defrosting apps, SMS backups, converting user apps to system apps and on and on. It is a full featured app.

I've not used any alternatives after I started with titanium so can't help you there.
For storing in case of flashing roms I just keep in the SD card cause that hasn't failed yet.
Only when I'm going from custom to stock or vice versa do I update my google drive backup. I use google drive because its faster for me than anything else no other reason.
USB backup to PC or a separate SD card might be required for only when you wipe storage (internal and SD) which I can't imagine when. But backup sometimes when you have connected the phone to your PC for any other reason. Otherwise I don't really do that much as it is too much of a bother.
OK I'm convinced. Could you tell me more about how you use titanium backup. What is your setups after all these years?
Do you make your own flashable collections?
(I purchased the pro Ti and connected Dropbox)

How to use titanium backup? Mate, there are tutorials out there and the help page, a little reading and trying and that's it. It's not difficult and there is no "setup" you need

I have set it up and already know how to use it (been using it for years). I'm asking about how you use it and not how I should. Get it?
It is considerably more interesting to discuss "user cases". No manual or guide will ever give that because the approach to the question is different.
Not sure if anyone uses it still but I use Nandroid Manager for most of my restores but its hit or miss on working right since 6.0. Titanium just never seemed to work right for me. I almost got to the point of just letting Google restore my phone for me and just relogin to apps. Best to save everything to the cloud in my opinion then there's no worries. Lol
Hi,
Is there any way to backup all my apps and their data for all my apps (including some of them that Hellium cannot backup)?
In the past I used to use Titanium Backup or MIUI backup. Both of them are quite good but I don't want to grant root access my device.
Thanks in advance.
Still a big problem on Android. Try Samsung's Smart Switch.
Yeah, I know.
Smart Switch is for transferring data from an old device to a new device.
I need to backup my apps and their data to a PC, like a nandroid backup or titanium backup.
Sure that there's no backup feature included?
No android blows donkey ass when it comes to backup. Such a simple thing that google has been failing to implement for years. Its root or gtfo!
