Hi mate ,
Titanium Backup is a good option, also do a nandroid ( if you have a custom recovery) and backup your EFS folder !!!!! this last two option are for your security in case something goes wrong

Why would you want to back up your call log?
Anyway. Titanium Backup is your best bet.

Thank you guys i've installed the rom and i haven't lost anything of my data

Best way/tools to do a full system/rom backup?

Hello everybody,
I just switched my Samsung Galaxy S1 (GT-i9000M Bell/Canada) to a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V Videotron/Canada).
I had really good experiences using custom ROM on my first one, so as a developer, I plan to contribute on SGS4 ROMS.
Anyway ...My real question is : I would like to know what are the best tools and methods to make a full system backup (Rom, modem firmware, IMEI....etc).
Thank you!

TWRP has a release out to support the S4 now. 2.5.0.0 I believe. I installed it on my non-rooted S4 yesterday using Odin and did a full system backup.
TWRP confirmed booting on my end. I'm waiting on the next CM10.1 to test nandroid out.

Migrate apps from KitKat TW to Lollipop TW

Hello folks,
Is there a way to migrate all my apps and data from a KK TW to Lollipop TW Rom?
In the past I only used Titanium Backup, which is not working properly. All my restored apps are force closing instantly.
Is this problem known and also a way around this or is this a fault by me?

I tried the new Kies but it is not working as expected.
The software is starting the backup, but after it has finished, there is no data on the pc.
Does someone know any other way of migrating the apps and data?
After browsing many threads and reading though all posts, I found a working solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57370957&postcount=6261&nocache=1&z=7917477265000343 :laugh: :laugh:
After fixing every single app-folder in /data/data, it's working as expected - now I'm on Lollipop! :victory:

Custom ROMs and Kies backups

Hi guys,
Quick question with hopefully a quick answer.
If I was to create a backup on Kies of just my SMS messages and S Note data, can I restore that using Kies if I flash a custom ROM?
Phone is a UK Note 3 on EE - Stock un-rooted.
Thanks
Ben
