Hmmm...titanium backup is the best for restoring data (only) but don't ever use Nandroid backup to restore your data...you will get bootloop for doing that or you app will tend to FC...
fresh install apps will be the best solutions and use titanium to restore data...
Titanium backup batch backup and batch restore

I have like 112 user apps already installed with the Stock TW ROM, can I backup all of them with TitaniumBackup and restore them after installing Task650 ROM ?, thanks
You can backup and restore user apps. But don't back up and system apps because they will screw things up if you restore them .

I had CM10 in rom slot 1 and I just flashed AOKP Milestone2 in rom slot 2 and I was trying to restore my Titanium Backup of just user apps & data. However, in AOKP it is saying there are no backups. How do I restore that backup so I don't have to set up each app again?? Please help! Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I recently purchased the Gs4 and excited to root again. I was looking through the forums and had some questions. Should I use Titanium Backup for restoring data or TWRP? I did a nandroid of my stock ATT rom and want to install Liquidsmooth and then restore my apps and settings on top of that. Is this possible or do i need to be on a custom ROM first then backup my data and restore my data for future updates. Thanks, let me know!
It's recommended to never backup system data only app data. If you are staying on the same Rom your normally okay with setting but I don't recommend it. I do all my apps through TB, and my device id.

Hi,
TWRP offer "nandroid backup" which is a phone backup solution, it work best to restore everything if you system data goes wrong and unable to start your phone. It also means you cannot selectively restore certain apps that you want with TWRP alone.
You can either use Helium (formerly Carbon) or Titanium Backup to backup your user apps. It will save your data so no worries here. For Titanium Backup to work, you need root. Helium works fine without root, but you need to install the desktop client.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for this tipp:
so if I make Nandroid Backup and Flash new Rom (4.3) and restore a nandroid Backup it go down again to 4.2.2 or it recover just apps / Images etc. to it?

Nandroid backup works like a system snapshot, so yes it will go back to 4.2.2 in ur case. Pictures & musics in /sdcard (/data/media) is untouched, they won't be backed up when nandroid or wiped when you do factory reset. It's an isolated zone for custom recovery.
Hey guys!
So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??
Guys, any help is appreciated!!!
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.
Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.
I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.
IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
just reflash your rom via recovery, dont wipe, you wont lose any data
Alright thanks for the response. I copied my TWRP backup to my PC, extracted it and now I'm trying to copy the data folder from my TWRP backup to my ROM's data folder. Hopefully, this will work.
PS - I removed the app and i reflashed the rom but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

Hello,
Atm i use cyanogen 10.2.
Is it possible to keep all my data/apps/widgets when I upgrade to 4.4 stock?
I have nandroid and titanium backups (which app is better?).
Do I have to recover in twrp?
Which partitions do I need to recover?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to backup all your stuff. I use it, and it's the best tool to use when moving from ROM to ROM.
