Not using CWM recovery.

Can you not bump threads an hour after you started them please ?
If you want to backup/restore apps, use Titanium Backup Pro. As Oinky has hinted at, you're not going to be able to do that with CWRecovery. It's all or nothing with a Nandroid; in advanced restore the options are pretty straightforward (and don't include an option to restore just apps).

I guess https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor makes most sense in your situation.

i use rom toolbox pro for backup app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result

If you did indeed make backup in CWM before flashing RR 2.0, you should restore it via CWM (not download mode). It will restore your phone to its complete state before flashing RR2.0 . Download Titanium backup, backup all user apps in batch mode (top right hand corner button) - don't backup the system (red coloured) apps! Now flash RR 2.0 again after doing wipe, cache wipe and dalvik wipe, fix permissions afterwards under 'advanced' (still in CWM). Download Titanium Backup again, and under batch mode, restore user apps - not system apps!
If you have the free version you'll be prompted to do the apps restore one by one, don't worry, it will work just as fine (just time consuming)

[Q] How does titanium backup work?

i want to use titanium backup but i dont understand how it works. i want to flash a new ROM onto my phone and i have to wipe data but i want to use titanium backup to recover all my data after the ROM is installed...how does this work????
If you have the donate version, you can go to settings and create a zip that is flashable in recovery. After you create the zip hit the menu button, choose batch, and choose backup all user apps+data. Flash your Rom, after you let the Ron boot up once, reboot and flash the titanium backup zip. This will reinstall titanium. Go to batch and choose restore missing apps+data and your done. You might as well go ahead and get the donate version because if you don't have it you have to click install for every app. With donate version, it just installs them without you having to click everytime. Make sure usb debugging is enabled or it won't work correctly.

Titanium Backup backs up your apps and data to the SD card. Wiping data through clockwork wipes the flash memory built into the phone, but leaves the SD card completely intact. Thus, you can wipe data, flash your ROM, redownload Titanium from the market, hit restore, and you are good to go.
the donate version sucks..
unless you like wasting your night clicking install a hundred times lol

hi there mihir287 thanks for replying..,
okay will do that..,
but other how does you do the back up n restore it with titanium backup??
cause last time i tr it just back up the app..,
there are three tabs on the top: overview, backup/restore, and schedules. go under backup/restore to restore (this restores apps one at a time). to restore pretty much all of your backed up apps, hit the menu button and then select batch. scroll down to restore and run the operation of your choice

There is one more trick which utilize the custom recovery function.
Doing nandroid backup but instead of selecting all, we select only data to back up.
So after flashing new ROM, nand restore should only covered data not system applications etc.
I believe I read this somewhere in the forum but I forgot where, so, credit goes to him/her

Backup with Titanium or CWM??

i am new to all this but managed to flash kh3 and root it.
i paid for the pro version of titanium and backed up everything on my galaxy s2 but it backs up to SD. isnt this the internal sd storage and thus would wipe when flashed with another firmware?? i looked into the CWM that came with the firmware but this is just a recovery console isnt it?
i guess i need some guidance of how to properly backup but maybe i want too much. i really was thinking along the lines of a ghost image of everything even things like APN settings etc.
any help appreciated guys.
The sd card isn't wiped when you install any other firmware.
The recovery console has a backup/restore feature, it makes an image of the firmware and software that's installed on the phone.
when i clicked the backup part of cwm it took me to the recovery console where it had factory reset, wipe partition ( or whatever it said) etc etc, i didnt then see it do a backup?
cheers mate

Sounds like you only have Recovery console & not CWM. If you had CWM, you would see tons of options.
I always have a backup of my current ROM in CWM it's absolutely essential in case things go wrong which they have on occasions, i also back up my apps weekly witt Titanium Backup and delete the previous backup.

kh3 from intratech's thread.
i downloaded rom manger and did the top option to get the latest cwm i think but when i tried to backup it errored and i had to press home to restart??
I just use titanium, backup all my apps to external sd card.
Format phone or install a new rom, and just restore all apps with 1-click via titanium.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but what the heck.
I have Titanium backup and it backs up to Dropbox. Now if I Flash a new ROM, how do I go about restoring the backup?
In WinMo I have a backup program that created a zipped up file of backups and a small exe file that unpacked and restored the files (complete restore, ROM upgrade restore, etc).
Should use both!

Batch restore.
Left button at the bottom of your phone > batch
Restore all from there.
If you set your folder location to an external sd card, you can format or install a new rom and your apps wont be touched. You can do a batch restore of all your apps from within titanium.

Well that's your problem, your using a stock kernel, use cf-roots kernel that has cwm already built in.

Combine titanium media sync with titanium backup and you are sorted.
I have set automatic backup once a week, all is then synced via dropbox when i connect my phone on charger. This way I also backup all the pics and videos I take.
One thing I was wondering is there anyway to have titanium and premiere key backed up initself....in the sense that whenever I restore I always have to go to market get the key and the titanium app then started restoring...maybe I could go to my storage install them from there then reinstall instead off faffing with the market?
apologies if this is a silly question
I have the key on my external sd card .

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

You can simply backup your apps and data via TB and
After installing a new ROM just restore APP+DATA via TB... best way to sort and backup and restore apps individually :thumbup:

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.

[q] restore apps from nandroid backup

Hi everyone,
I had upgraded my Galaxy Gio from stock rom to custom rom (CM 7.2 based), and now I want to restore just a few apps + data (for e.g. Memo) and Contacts (from stock rom) from my Nandroid backup, so I want it should be on the current custom rom.
How far I tried to do so, I could'nt get it done. I tried with NANDROID MANAGER, I installed it and tried to restore some apps + their data, (the apps was in previous rom in System/Apps so Nandroid Manager automatically wanted to install it in system/apps), ok, the program showed as it's installed with no broblems, BUT after reboot as it required, NOTHING HAPPENED, so I looked in system/apps and data/data with root explorer, those apps & data were there, but it was not installed.....
I also tried to restore the Contacts from Nandroid (Contacts Storage), and I ended up with erasing all contacts I had currently on the phone (anyway that wasn't a problem, cause i had an regular backup of it).
So I would like to understand what the problem is, and how is it possible to have my previous memos and contacts restored to my current rom?!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?!
Thanks in advance.
If this were me I would make a nandroid of current ROM, wipe clean, restore nandroid of old ROM, use titanium backup (preferred but there are others) to backup apps and data (I use a different app for contacts and SMS/call log but I believe titanium can do this too) then I would wipe clean, restore nandroid, restore what is needed from titanium
May sound like a lot but should be finished in less than a half hour with all

Thank you for replying.
But I had read some posts that if the current rom is EXT4 based and stock rom is RFS based, then CWM wouldn't restore the backup normally (because the sd card has to be rfs format - something like this if I understood). So i'm a little bit afraid to do that cause I don't want to get stuck on boot....
Any sugestion for that??
Thanks in advance.
Well sd-card is always formatted as fat/ntfs irrespective of the rom....
Sent from my Spice Mi-515 using xda app-developers app
Like in the post above you will never have an SD formatted in rfs, but there are some recoveries that have issues restoring backups depending on the format the backup was made in but this doesn't appear to be your case (like if a backup was made in yaffs2 but recovery uses tar) so I really don't think this should be an issue for you. Having said that I have never used your phone before and if you're very concerned you should find another who has to ask. But I'm still 99% sure you're safe to do this
