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.

As the thread title says, is it possible for me to automatically set up backups in CWM to go once a week or so and then if possible delete the older ones automatically also?
None of the recoveries do that.
They are manual processes that require you to enter recovery and press a few buttons.

You can set titanium backup to run automatically. This can protection your apps an system data. However your ROM cannot be managed like that. Honestly you may find it better to just make the titanium backups as apps and data can be easily migrated between Roms, this even includes some system apps.

I had to do a master reset on the 7 and tried to reload my apps using titanium backup.
No matter if I do a batch restore or a single individual app restore it hangs and does not load the app.
I have "unknown sources" checked, busybox installed, as well supersu.
Im lost guys, what am I doing wrong here.
Also running stock ROM with Klemsys Kernal.
TIA.
Clear cache in app management. If that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall. I've had to do this a few times with TB.

update your busybox. grab the busybox installer from the play market, stericsons version. open it, let it run, then use the smart install when it asks.
did both and still nothing.
Maybe i will try another reset.
thanks.
Hi,
I installed titanium backup [the latest one] on CM10.2 Now when I try to backup anything at all, it tells me that There is insufficient space for data storage! There is something wrong here. Does anyone know how to fix it? Please help. I've already tried a clean install of the rom but this problem persists.
Thanks
You have the newest version? Anyways try to go to menu - preferences - select backup location -detect - select whole device and pick the one that says legacy.
Should work.

Seems quite suspicious now. I actually tried these:
1. delete any instance of tibu from internal storage / data
2. delete any instance of tibu from /data/data
3. reinstall tibu (without key) -> backup worked!
4. reinstalled the key -> backup failed due to insufficient storage
5. Configured backup location from /emulated/0 to /legacy/ -> backup worked perfectly again.
Thanks for the quick answer!
Hello mates, I am new to XDA and first and foremost I want thank to thank all contributors and developers for providing amazing tricks, tutorials, and features for all device users.
I own an S7 Edge under T-Mobile carrier (SM-G935T) and last time I tried to remove bloatware/system apps using Titanium Backup I believe I deleted necessary system apps that I shouldn't have deleted.
So my question for you guys is:
What app should I use or which app is the BEST out there that will help me disable ALL UNNECESSARY BLOATWARE without messing up the phone? I've heard of System App Remover Pro, Titanium Backup... but I don't know if Titanium itself would do the work. (I believe I could if I could get a list of Bloatware that can be removed with no problem)
Thank you guys, any help will be appreciated.
Just Google what each package does and then use titanium to freeze/uninstall them
If it sounds important then it most likely is

Honestly, I'd stay away from something as invasive as Titanium backup these days. If you do use it use the freeze feature (Only paid version).
They way I did it, I simply went into App Manager and disable natively anything that I could. For system Apps that won't allow me to disable that I know I can safely disable without screwing things up (not very many anymore) I use Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store. You can safely enable and disable system Apps.
Best way to get rid of bloat is install the u firmware.

Don't bother uninstalling system app bloats, just freeze with titanium backup. if you screwed up and froze the wrong file you can always unfreeze. Uninstalling won't get you any extra storage since you can't install user apps in the system partition anyways.

Titanium backup is a nice way to go, but you need root.
I have seen Remove ALL Bloatware from any Android Smartphone without Root
ADB for Windows is a nice way to start.
You can google that as well.
I want to remove the bloat myself, but I am wait for 7 to drop then start cleaning house.
Good luck to ya! :good:

Well yes of course, the OP requested best remover for rooted S7E. If not rooted, the recommendation would have been for EZ Package Disabler or equivalent.
