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.

When I do a backup with RomManager before I flash a new rom does that backup contain all the apps and user data of the apps for when I flash back to it or does it just contain info about the rom and system data?
For example, I take a backup and then clear all system data and cache info before I flash something new. When I go back to the backup file I took with RomManager will it contain all the apps and stuff that I had on my system prior to the data wipe or will I need to restore all the apps individually with Titanium Backup?
Yes!

Call Logs, SMS, etc. will be lost.
You need to back those up separately if you wanna save them.
Below are a couple of Apps that work well for this >>
My Back Up (Pro)
SMS Backup & Restore
It does Dave your call log and messages.
It pretty much clones exactly as it is.

Call logs and SMS I really don't care about, none of it matters to me. I am mostly concerned with having to reinstall all the apps or have to reset all of my launcher preferences and screen layouts.
All that stuff will be saved. I guess if Ur using Rom manager u are using clockwork? I backed up with clockwork and all my apps were still there when I went and restored.

If you mean you want to restore apps and data on a new ROM then yes you can use tb I use mybackup root.
No you can't restore them from a backup from ROM manager on another ROM thats a backup of your whole system if you restore a backup from rm you will restore the whole ROM you backed up.
Edit: sorry just got the op yes it will be the same way when you backed it up.

Hi guys,
I want to back up contacts, sms and apps with there data. Backup and restore be simple
Is there any solution to do this with out rooting?
I think you might need to root for a full backup of all your data. But if you want to backup only contacts and smses, there are apps for that. Alternatively you might be able to save into your SIM card.
Rooting allows greater access to system files so as to do a full backup, with nandroid or titanium.

Rooting your phone is the best way to back up apps n data using any of these apps
1. My backup pro
2.titanium backup
For SMS backup use Backup n restore SMS app
For contact best thing to do is Google sync it

I was playing deadspace on my N4 while running AOKP build 4 everything was good. Upgraded to build 2 and expected to titanium restore the data (I was at chapter 8) but nope. It didn't restore my data. Anyone know a way for me to back it up next time j want to change ROMs? I don't have to have to keep starting over every few weeks...

On titanium did you select backup all user app or backup all user apps and system data. I believe user app backup just remembers the fact that you have that app and system data should be the information gathered from such things as games?

Really? I didn't know that. I thought system data was just for system apps (ROM + Gapps, non PlayStore downloaded)
Next time I'll try backing up the system data too, I hope that will work
Can anyone confirm Deadspace's game data is part of system because my Bad Piggies data restored just fine without backing up system apps...

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

Hi,
over the past years I have been flashing more than 50 different ROMs on my S2 so I wanted to share with everyone how I restore my favourite config and data every single time.
I will list all the different items that are important for me to restore. If you want to add others that matter for you please do.
I am NOT going to explain how to flash a new ROM. There are dozens of threads about that already.
BEFORE flashing the new ROM here is what I do:
1) Apps:
Backup all user apps + data with Titanium Backup and save them to external SD card.
2) SMS:
Backup all SMS + Call Log to my Gmail Account with any backup/restore SMS app
3) Calendar and Contacts:
My calendar events are always created on my google or exchange account so I just have to sync, same for contacts.
They are auto restored when logging in to Google account on the newly flashed ROM.
4) Launcher:
I prefer Nova Launcher so it's easy to make a backup of my favourite launcher config.
After this is done (~10 mins of work) you can save your new ROM file to SD card and flash it in recovery mode.
When entering the new ROM (fully wiped!) you can restore everything in the following order:
1) Calendar and Contacts will be auto restored once you are logged in to your Gmail account
2) Install Titanium and restore Apps (some apps don't work when restored so you have to fresh install them, most of them work fine)
3) After apps you restore backed up Nova config
4) Restore SMS and Call log (This can be done at any moment)
The whole process (backup, flash and restore) takes about half an hour maximum.
If someone can improve/approve this method please share!
PS: My question to everyone: Is there a way/app to save/restore the android settings between ROMs?
Try making a CWM backup and restore using Nandroid Manager app
Well that will just restore my backed up ROM right?
The above guide is for installing a new ROM after full wipe and recovering your personal data and apps in that new ROM...

The first step i don`t thing is gonna work if your gonna change from 4.1.2 to 4.2 or 4.3. I guess you have to do some settings in Titanium.
if you dont have important data on the apps you can go to installed app on google play and install them, and if you backed it thru google backup turn on the wifi and it will download them automaticly
quiet imekesm
Backupping apps with TB is kinda useless since Google synchronizes apps from your last installation. Also restoring data could be harmful for your device stability if it runs different android versions. Maybe you should write in OP
I always stay on 4.1.2 because it serves me best so the TB method works perfectly. I also feel like TB does a better job then Google backup

you can also try go backup pro for apks and data ...and my backup pro for phone setting
Google backup restores app data too?

Thanks for this. Its been really useful for me
But doing these backups, then changing rom there is the risk of creating compatibility problems?
Only compatibility risk is if you're going to another Android version from what you had before (4.1.2 to 4.2.2 for example). Still most of the apps will work fine...
If an app fc's reinstall it from
scratch, still better then the need to reinstall all of them...

I have found that Titanium Backup works quite well for me. I use the pro versions and haven't had problems restoring apps and even settings after flushing new ROM.
