back up everything...

I have the nexus one with stock rom, and I have very important contacts and sms on it. I want to try the new Sense UI, but i dont know how to back up all this. And how do I reload contacts (i know...google sync ) and sms?? Any ideas?
I'm computer savvy, so I understand hacking and modding, but cuz of work load and importance of contacts/sms/email, i don't want to lose anything.
Thanks

If you are going to flash another rom, then want to revert. you can do a nandroid backup through the recovery. This will back up everything, it will basically take a snapshot of your phone at that moment, and restore it when you want. programs, contacts, messages. settings, everything will be as you left it. You should do a nandroid backup before you flash anything.

download this app. It's to protect your phone if stolen. you can track it, do backup , etc.
It's free unlimited subscription until 31st of march only! Afterwise 1 year license will cost $15

Edit I just checked root is still intact

if you have created your backup with recovery, just copy the files to sdcard/ and restore with recovery.
Other method is to flash stock rom.
edit: try youtube... there are many tutorials for nandroid backups

[Q] Extracting SMS messages from a TWRP backup

I completely messed up my phone thanks to bouncy ball 2.5d for some reason. I tried to dirty flash a stock rom over my original stock rom and recover my phone but it wouldn't work. I did a TWRP backup and a factory reset.
I've drag and dropped my TWRP backup onto my windows machine

}
I can open them up using 7zip. My questions are:
1) Where would I find my original messages?
2) How should I push to them my new stock ROM?
3) Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks xda community

If you have titanium backup, keep the backup on phone and use the extract from nandroid option. I believe it's the sms/mms storage that you want to restore.

[Q]Problem after flashing

Hi, so I was trying out a new ROM, but before that I had backed up my entire system (data included) through TWRP.
I tried the new ROM, didn't like it, so I booted into recovery and wiped system + factory reset.
I then flashed ROM + gapps, then restored data from my Nandroid.
After it booted up it's now like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Although all my data is in there, none of the apps are showing up in my launcher. Searching the apps and attempting to download them brings me to an error -24, which basically means I already have the app.
So now I can't do anything with my phone, since I can't reinstall to get the icon back and neither can I launch the app.. Help please?

those arent apps, they are the data for those apps. the apps are in /data/app/, not in your storage.

Oh well, just factory reseted my phone, back to a clean slate. Mods please close this thread, thanks

I need to get latest backup from tibu

I reflashed mje with Odin the rooted with kingo.i installed safe strap and did a nandroid right away. After all that was done I installed tibu, but when I went to restore apps there were none to restore. How do I get these apps back? I just did a backup before I did all the other stuff. I went into settings and did the extract from nandroid but it only gave me the first backup I did..it wouldn't give me the latest backup. Any help would be much much appreciated. .

The tibu folder may not be where the app thinks it is. In tibu preferences go to backup folder location:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which looks like this if it in the right place:
If you dont see a list of your app backups in the window, navigate to it. If that didn't work, let us know. If you can't find it, use a file browser of some kind and search for it so you know where to go inside tibu preferences.
