Greetings all. I have a Samsung Vibrant currently. I've done several clockwork mod backups, and I'm considering going to the Verizon Fascinate. Since they are both running 2.1, will the clockwork mod recovery install my current apks/apps? If not, can someone recommend the best way for me to not loose the 170+apps I have on this current Tmobile phone? Thanks for replies.
I would suggest MyBackupPro which will back up even your text messages etc. In order to transfer the data from one phone to another you must buy the full version. If you want just your applications I would say Titanium Backup and wait until the Fascinate achieves root in just a few short days and then VIOLA! I would also recommend donating to the Dev for his awesome app and hard work, it's easily one of my favorite apps when it comes to flashing custom roms.

What s/he said. I would only use this for user apps + data and not system apps. It might work with system apps, but I personally will wait for someone else to dive in before I try.
Ya clockwork wouldn't work, it most likely would just error out but there is a chance you would brick your phone

Forgive me, I know this has been discussed by search turned up a lot of fruitless stuff to wade through.
Real simple: Is there a way to backup my phone 100% before trying a new ROM?
I'm not so much worried about contacts, etc... as I sync with Exchange at work. More about saving all customizations, apps, etc.... when I want to try a new ROM release. (I know I"ll have to re-setup all that on the new release... just want to be protected if I decide to go back to the previous ROM).
Thanks!!!
That's what a nand backup does
Backup - nand
Ahhhh..... always wondered about that, but my quick google-search came up empty.
So I don't need something like the app "ROM Manager", though it sounds like it'll make life easier.

Nope NAND is all you need.
One tip thought after to do a NAND backup and after to get a file manager installed rename the the backup to something you'll recognize. The way it work though the original name is a time stamp yyyyddmm-tttt. If that makes any sense. Just remember there can't be any spaces in the new name.

All I do is nand the ROMs that work well and like. For example my goto everything works rom is Evil Eris 3.0. And and of course a keep ROMs that I know work backed up just in case. Also before changing ROMs do a wipe then restore. I find that sometimes there's a few apps that get left when switching.

If you rename your nandroid don't put any spaces. Just numbers/letters. And don't use rom manager.
Can nand restore apps back to the sd card? I am running the kaos rom...
I kinda have the same question... is there an easy way to backup all my apps (even the droid store ones) than restore them when installing a new rom?
btw what's the best app manager? I'm using linda atm

Download Titanium from the market. It allows you to backup all of your apps, data within those apps, and system data (settings, etc.). You can run a batch to backup everything and even schedule it to do backups at certain dates and times.
When you flash the new rom, go back to the market and install Titanium again. Do a batch restore and it'll install your apps and all like you had it.
Also if you use ADW or Launcher Pro you can back up your home screens and restore them so they'll be set up just like before. Note - you'll have to manually add widgets back.

I did come across titanium backup while doing searches and it's good to have some reassurance. oh and should I do a COMPLETE batch in the settings part or mostly do the ones in green?
This queston must have been asked 1,000,000 times but there's no simple way of updating roms from v29 to v30 to ect.?
I do complete batches.

If I switch to a new ROM wipe my cache/data yaadaa yaadaa, then when I'mon the new ROM can I go back into CWM and go into advanced restore can I restore just my data will I get back all my apps and data and everything will be good? As long as my backup and new ROM are both EB01?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
For just restoring Apps and the data when switching between roms, I recommend.....no, HIGHLY recommend Titanium Backup. Not only does this app backup apps and the data of the apps, it also backups the market cache, so on the market, the app would list as being installed. It's incredibly useful. It also allows you to uninstall system apps by the way.
I know that and that's not what I'm getting at, I don't want to get titainium backup pro and the regular titainium backup takes forever to restore because u have to hit install for every app and its very tidious sooooo, I came to the conclusion since its in my backup files why can't I just restore it from there because its just one click and no hassle... but I want to know if that works.
P.S. I have titainium... and mybackup root too...

It is tedious, but in my case worth it. I have not used MyBackup Root in app backups, but you can try.

It may have apps that are specific to the previous ROM. I've done it and it can work but if its a differnt ROM it can cause problems. try it and see.
Personally I'd save up the 6 bucks and buy Tibkup if you are going to flash ROMS Titanium Backup is going to be one (if not the one) most used application you will use. If you can't part with the 6 bucks get MyBackup Root I don't think it prompts you for restores but I could be wrong (I haven't' used it since I bought TB)

It doesn't always work. Titanium Pro is worth it if you're going to be flashing multiple ROMs. The time saved will equal much more than $6.

did i miss something? Batch Restore your app people....in the full licensed version, pay the money...it deserves it...phenominal app....only must have app i have come across since I've owned my original Droid....worked even when I switched to the Inc, and copied the backup folder over...(Apps+Data only, obviously no system stuff)
is that what you're getting at on post#3...pay the money and forget about worrying...I always wipe everything between roms, even updates to the one i'm running...then TiBU after flashing new rom...takes a couple minutes and I'm back up and running...even with Go Launcher, homescreens are backed up minus widgets
This post has nothing to do with TiBU at all, and its not the purpose, I just want to know if I can take the data from a backup and install it with my new rom?

It does have something to do with tibkup if you want to restore your data. You've been told basically NO to your OP and to use tibk. If you don't want to listen why ask?

Which would be to BUY titanium Backup Pro or MyBackup Root
Other than that you can take a chance and restore /data or if your on 2.2 or higher let Google restore all your apps from the cloud but a lot of ROMs don't seem to auto restore.
Stop being cheap. It's worth it.

It has been quite a while since I used it, but as I recall, in the free version you have to manually approve each install, so it is a bit of a process. I prefer just to let Google restore all my apps and then use TiBu to selectively restore data to certain "critical" apps.
With the basic version TiBu will ask you to approve each app individually. The Pro version does it as one big batch, which is much easier. Download the free version and then pay for and download the Pro without uninstalling the free one.
the best way to back up a phone is to put it in the bed of a pick up truck. Get in. put the truck in reverse and step on the gas.

Downloads are available on the forum for the stock GB and the latest leaks. I don't see what your issue is. Just reflash.
All your apps are at the play store.
Learn to back up SMS and phone logs. Use titanium back up and push everything to Dropbox then you will be able to flash fearlessly.
Just to expand on what ranger said...thx ranger [email protected]: get the paid ver of Tibu...Titanium Backup you will not be sorry best $$ spent, plus google the youtube vid on how to use the tibu...best time spent...
it is a very awesome tool...I never leave home with out...cuz it is on my phone...LOL, kdding..

No ones freaking out buddy...all I'm saying is that I had a very nice collection of backups including a backup of my note stock out of the box. Just about every rom out there stresses to make a backup and not to use tbu especially for data, which is why I don't use it. Obviously I know I can just make a backup of my current rom and flash any rom I want but I wasn't sure or didn't know stock gb was or is available just in case I need to get my phone warrentied for any reason. And when I flash a new rom I never restore apps and such, the only thing I restore are my sms ...I like a fresh phone.

Thanks for the replies guys but I wasn't concerned with apps and data, all I basically wanted to know was if stock gb was available in case I ever need to return my phone (I made a backup of gb on my sdcard which I lost) I don't care about call logs and I do backup and restore my SMS. I tend not to use tbu since my roms suggest not to use it especially to restore data.

I think you misunderstand. TB is one of the top apps for android and everyone who is rooted should get familiar with it. But you need to use it wisely. Using TB incorrectly can cause ForceCloses with both User and System apps. When using it on the Note and especially going from a gingerbread to ICS ROM it is suggested to restore user apps only but not the associated data.

Im currently on hyperdrive 7 and was looking to flash a different rom to try out, but neither rom toolbox pro or tibu will allow me to backup apps and data. I usually use rom toolbox pro, but when I try to backup app+data, it just starts failing every app. I tried tibu again just to see if the problem was rtp, but it will only restore the app without data. Most stuff I dont mind losing data on, but I have a few games and other things I dont want to start from scratch on. Thanks in advance for any help!

I did make a backup of rls6 when I flashed rls7, but have deleted it due to thinking everything was fully functional and trying to save space.
Also, I have titanium backup pro, purchased it a couple years ago but have found rtp to be more reliable. Both have superuser permissions.
