So I want to root my phone and install the superman rom or batman rom, I haven't decided yet which one yet, But can I root my phone without wiping data, backup my current apps fully (I.E Google Auth as is with how ever many 2FA I have added on it) and retain it and apps after restoring app backups? to the new rom once I install that?
i do not recommend that.
Flash TWRP > Format Data > Flash no-verify-opt.zip reboot to recovery.
Flash then any rom you want, in aroma you have root options. BUT!
When you setup your rom, install Titanium backup and backup all apps. Then next time when you will change rom you will not have to install all apps again.
So it's best to start fresh on a rom and once apps are installed make a backup basically.

I have flashed the new recovery rom onto my tattoo and installed the modaco rom but what do I do if I want to reset the phone to defaults so its like ive flashed my phone and its like new from the factory?
I did a nandroid backup of my orignal firmware which was rooted. When I installed the modaco rom and did an update it worked but I had all my old apps and settings etc.
Do i select the wipe data/factory restore setting in the recovery rom before selecting the rom to update?
what happens to the apps i've bought from the market as well? do they appear as apps to download again when i login to my android market account?
When you restore the ROM you've backed up using recovery, then EVEYRTHING will be restored. Which includes ALL apps, contacts, SMS's, emails and app settings which were there at the time of taking a backup.
I actually wanted to wipe everything rather than restore it but done it now with the recovery boot . the new Rom is much cleaner than the orange/htc version
Hello can anyone explain to me how to backup and after that restore data oh my android

Ok i will.but cai i restore my aplications after that or i make install all of them again
Thank you
Do normal android backup via cwm, then wipe everything, flash new rom and after that go to the advanced restore and restore only data. But of course you can flash new rom directly and you will see if it's ok .
If it will be unsuccesful, you still have your backup ..
If you want to only restore your apps on the newer version, you could use Titanium Backup (from Android Market) to back up and restore the apps and their data caches.
I would first do a cwm backup, then back up the apps and their data with Titanium. Then flash the new ROM. Try first doing a custom restore -->data only, and if that doesn't work out for you, you can do a wipe and then install Titanium and at least restore your apps and their data caches.

So I am currently on Paranoid Android and wish to switch to another ROM (most likely AOKP or PACman just to try). In TWRP recovery, what would I select to just back up my app data and NOT my ROM, and after that is possible, what must I restore to get it back and in what order of flashing alon with my new ROM and GAPPS???:silly:
You can go into TWRP and backup and choose what partitions you want to backup. However, I'd suggest you backup everything and don't try to restore the data to another ROM.
I use Titanium to backup all app data as well as MMS history, WiFi networks etc then do a full backup in TWRP. Then wipe everything and flash the new ROM. Then boot up and reconfigure accounts and restore apps + data with titanium.
It may be a little more effort but this way you can always roll back to the previous setup if anything goes wrong and you're less likely to run into any weird issues from moving data around between ROMs.
Or you could try something like app2zip off the play store to make a flashable zip of only selected apps and data which is probably safer than the whole partition. If you do a full backup first you can always rollback if something goes wrong.
When using Titanium Backup, when I hit run backup, where does it go and how do I restore it after I flash my new ROM. Or do I do the update.zip option and flash that when I'm doing my new ROM?

It goes into a folder on /sdcard called TitaniumBackup. When you flash a new rom, you will need to redownload titanium backup. When you redownload it, it will find the backups and you can click on the app to restore it.
Theres no need to use the update.zip method. Do it like this ^
So I'm using the normal rom and wanted to install cm14 and was totally confused about the best and simplest way to backup and restore stuff.
Then I read this in the cm blog and got even more confused :/
Points to NOTE:
– Try to avoid restoring apps backup using Titanium Backup. It may break things up.
– Don’t restore system data using Titanium Backup! It will definitely break the current installation.
– It is also discouraged to Restoring Apps + Data using Titanium Backup.
Twrp does backups safestrap also does and flashfire also makes backups also Philz touch recovery aka cwm these should all work for you

For me personally I would ignore those statements, I have used titanium backup since the past two years and have not had any issues. Although you will need to make sure you adhere to it's instructions.
I would recommend
Doing nandroids from the custom recovery before installing anything from recovery or switching to another rom, because it is a lot easier to restore a nandroid than having to, install the rom and gapps, customise the settings to your preference, reinstalling all the apps from fresh and so on. Which is great because you just continue where you left off before you decided to do a nandroid.
Use titanium backup to backup apps and data, also there are options to save your WIFI network settings and sms threads. So when you do a new custom rom / stock rom flash all you have to worry about is configuring the android settings.
I'm looking for suggestions regarding restoring system settings after a clean flash.
I use an app from the play store called rom settings backup but it only restores about 60-70% of the settings.
There are multiple threads about restoring apps and their settings but I couldn't find one that was about restoring system settings.
I'm on official Resurrection remix. Latest build.
Thanks.
If you restore 100% of you system data....then I guess its equivalent to dirty flashing....why clean flash then take all hassles to restore....
A better alternative would be to use titanium backup to backup all user apps and after a clean flash , setup the system manually and then restore apps to get as close to old setup even after flashing new rom
