Hi, I would like to know if nandroid works for x10 mini, I looked at the tutorials, and it sounds different from the X10.
I there another full backup solution alternative to nandroid?
The one that came with the phone only backs up numbers.
thanks!
I have never tried nandroid but i know that titanium works on Mini

How do u back up on titanium? I can back up each app one by one, but that takes forever. is there a batch back up? Im using the free one btw.
can titanium restore my phone after a hardrest?
thanks
You can do a batch backup with Titanium. Options>Batch>Backup All user+system apps, then click 'Run'
I did this just last night and it worked perfectly. I haven't tried out the restore feature though.
When i go to batch, I see a list of things, and when i press back up app. nothing happens. it brings me back to the app list.

A common problem.... Either kill the app and rerun, or more likely uninstall and reinstall. I wish the developer would sort out this issue. Mine doesn't last a week before I have to reinstall it.....
I uninstalled titan backup and reinstalled it.
now when i try to restore apps it don't work? WTF
this thing sucks, I want a refund.
Does anyone know of a better app?

Does anybody have a good app that will back up the entire phone... especially the apps and settings.... to an online cloud. The really ideal way would be for it to backup to my home machine via blue tooth or wifi.
Ideally, the backup app would have a scheduler so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
The closest thing I found was myBackupPro, but I tried the free version and it didn't work. Told me that I had to purchase the pro version to get enough online space to back up my phone. Stupid.
Anyway, if you have a recommendation, I would love to hear it.
My backup pro is great and worth it

There has to be something else. Its hard to trust an app where the free "trial" version doesn't even work as expected.
You can always uninstall and get your money back if it doesn't work how you expected in 24hrs

1) Why the hell would I try and application when the trial doesn't work? Refund or no. And, I am more than likely not going to need to reinstall the backup within 24hrs..... at least I hope not. AND, the only way to test it is to do the factory reset and then hope the backup works. Why bother when the free trial fails??????
2) There must be an alternative that is more trustworthy?
Is this thread surveyed by mybackup pro shills?

Cease to amaze. You asked for help and suggestions for apps. I've used the app on my G1, MTS, and now the Vibrant and it replaces everything. Including location of homescreen icons, settings, contacts, apps (short of protected ones), etc...
And the trial is to give you a feel for the app btw...
You can also try Lookout, don't know that it backs up apps, but does backup data. Will TEST FOR YOU now...
Ok, lookout only backs up contacts and pictures. Sorry, my backup pro is probably gonna be your best solution... Take it or leave it...
I would recommend Titanium Backup, and then you can copy your backup files to the cloud through Dropbox. It's not an all-in-one solution, but it should work.

MIQ will back up pics, contacts, notes, mms/sms, call log, and a few other things(but not apps)
Sprite Backup will back up the ENTIRE phone(apps included)
I was also looking for a solution like this...it's a shame google hasn't come out with a program to at least do this one task that iTunes does so easily for the iPhone.
To accomplish something similar I've rooted my phone and used Rom manager to make a nandroid backup.
I have heard a bit about sprite backup.... but doesn't that only work on 2.2.
I have a vibrant, so not quite at 2.2 yet.
As a lot of us do here we are constantly flashing new roms and what not that require fresh installs. I've been using Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data, which I love btw. The only thing is I have quite a few apps, around 120. Going one by one to restore them takes some time. Is there a way to auto install them without me having to press install on each one?

That is a feature of the paid version of Titanium Backup. When you send the developer a payment on pay pal, he will send you a file with a license key to unlock the pro features that you place on the root of your internal sd card. I highly recommend paying for it as it saves a lot of time and hassle.
Yep, Titanium backup. With the licensed version, it will restore all your apps and data/settings in a batch job with no user interaction.
I wish AppBrain would do this too.
Lastly, I just switched over from the HTC EVO. The Cyanomod ROM (CM6) has remote backups through Google, so it will install the apps automagically. I'm pretty sure this is a Froyo thing, but CM6 is the only ROM I know of that does the auto-download/install thing.
Ah ok yeah was planing on getting this since I flash a lot.

I just found out MyBackUp Pro does batch installs as well. I hadn't used it for a while but if you have root you are able to install everything plus fix the market links as well.

How do you like the vibrant compared to the evo? I had the evo for a week and liked it but I think the vibrant will have be the phone for me especially once cm6 is ported over
Mybackup pro does a good job too I use it because I flash like 3 times a week...it puts all your apps back as well as data if you tell it to.

Could be IMO, but Titanium is 1000 X's better than My Backup Pro. Everything about Titanium is better, and the developer is amazing.
With updates of ROMs being released so quickly, and not wanting to update rather than flash the full ROM, I'm going to start backing up using Titanium Backup.
I am quite happy to backup absolutely everything, but am cautious about restoring things like system settings. Ideally what I would like is to be able to restore all the apps that I had before, their data, and possibly the layout of my homescreens.
How would I do this?
Is there anything I should probably not restore that could mess things up?
Thanks a lot for any replies.
You can backup all apps and data and then restore them later, without worrying about side-effects. This backup will include your launcher and therefore screen layouts, but will not include widgets. You'll need to add them again manually after you restore (it's a permission thing - nothing other that your is allowed to put widgets on your home screens).
System settings is a different story. If you're going from one ROM to another, or changing FW, there could be conflicts and it could cause problems. I tend to always have a backup and only restore system settings if I need to factory reset for some reason.
If you haven't already, I'd strongly recommend paying for the pro version, as it can become very boring having to click a couple of buttons for every app you want to restore. The pro version does all apps without the need for interaction.
The easiest way is this: go into titanium backup and press the menu bitten on your phone. Then press batch. Then look for something that says backup all user apps. Click the bitten next to that that says run. Then check 'backup user apps + data' and then uncheck any apps you don't want backed up, and then click run on the bottom. This will backup all your downloaded apps and data, like saved games, etc. You can also do the same things for system apps, but I can't guarantee that they will all work. Hope this helps

If you click batch all your apps are selected so you can backup all your apps with 1 clicks, even with the unpaid version. However with the paid version you can set up scheduled backups so it will backup automatically every week, or whenever you set it to

I was talking about restoring, not backing up. Have you ever restored 200 apps with the unpaid version? It's VERY boring

Thanks XD) but I'm talking more about the restore aspect.
@johncmolyneux
Thanks for your help. So I'm thinking the process will be along the lines of:
backup/restore > batch > backup all user apps
then
batch > restore missing apps with data > selecting app+ data
I will almost certainly buy the pro version of this app, as I'll be using it a lot.
One thing I am particularly anal about is restoring my vast collection of texts going back about 3 years - will restoring the GoSMS app and its data include all these. Probably obvious but I thought I'd ask just to make sure.
Also, I keep getting a message saying that I should check usb debugging as it might cause problems. What's that all about?
Thanks again.

That's the process mate - you've got it.
Titanium Backup requires that you have USB debugging enabled, which you get to via Settings, Applications, Development.
As for backing up and restoring text messages, I simply could not recommend any higher an application called SMS Backup+ (free in the Market). It creates a folder in your Gmail account and automatically uploads all text messages to that folder. You can do a restore whenever you like. It's seamless and works perfectly. If you want to keep SMS then look no further! I've gone over easily 30 ROM flashes with it, and now a new phone, and have never lost a single message.
It also means, of course, that you can access you SMS from any browser, which is nice (Can't send from gmail though.)

Ok, last question. Can I just have usb debugging enabled at the time that I backup and at the time that I restore. I prefer to not have it checked generally - lots of annoying pop up messages on my PC at work etc...

Ok so one last question. I understand that Titanium Backup will save the data for my third party launcher, so will preserver all the homescreen arrangments. But if I use TouchWiz, would that count as a system and therefore not preserved if I only backed up and restored user apps and data?
Cheers.

You might be able to backup and restore the data for touchwizz, not tried.
As far as system data, if the item is green in titanium is ok to restore, if its red, beware.
AFAIK, TouchWiz is just another launcher, so you should be okay to restore, but pay attention to the item colour, as mentioned by veyka.
Ok thanks a lot. Man of many questions at the moment, quite new to Android.
So last one...
When I set up the OS from scratch after a flash, when I get the option to either backup/restore to my Google account, what actually gets backed up then?
Cheers.

I'm not sure about this one as I've seen different things happen. Sometimes, I've had apps installed again after a new ROM flash, but other times that hasn't happened. I've also had inconsistent results with restoring wifi settings. The only thing I generally rely on Google to store is my contacts. Other than that, I use Titanium for everything, just to be sure.

Hi
I flashed the ParanoidAndroid 2.55cm (4.1.2):
I have Apex launcher pro and Titanium Backup ★ root pro.I made a TB backup in cm9 . I restored all of apps and data and it went well on ParanoidAndroid 2.55cm (4.1.2):. But
I would like to know how to restore all the widgets on ParanoidAndroid 2.55cm with Apex launcher pro home screens ?
Guys I have made an old fashio nandroid with all my updated apps and stuff. Now When I go to titanium backup and then press menu button and etract from nandroid it asks me which nandroid when i choose I then have the option to select which apps , when I have selected and click restore it just stays on 0% and doesnt do anything, By the way the nandroid is a ICS custom rom and I am now On a stock rooted JB rom. But that shouldnt matter right only the apps should I tried more then one app its always same thing nothing gets done. How can I restore my apps without having to load the whole nandroid then copying the titanium folder and then AGAIN flashing the JB and pasting the folder then restore the usual backup way. Any other way to do it from my nandroid ?
I've had problems in the past restoring from normal titanium backups. It's usually caused by a certain app that stops it.
Not sure if your problem is the same but try selecting just 1 random app and restore.

Are you talking about Extracting from Nandroid? Its an option in titanium pro.
It allows you to restore apps straight out of a nandroid backup. But when I do it nothing happens just sits on 0% for ever. Makes me angry!!
Maybe try AppExtractor from the play store. Worth a go.

If you are restoring alot of apps I have seen it do this. It will just stay at 0% if you just leave it eventually it does finish you might not think it will finish and it appears stuck but it will finish

I've run into pretty much the same thing. HOWEVER I am trying to restore apps that I had on my GS II Skyrocket to my new GS III. App extractor wouldn't find the nandroid backup, and wouldnt let me point it to it.
Using TiBu Pro, I cna get in, find the apps, I've tried both Batch and single, it shows complete, BUT the app never shows up. I know it's got to be an operator error.
Operator is standing by.

I know this thread is pretty old and hopefully you've found a solution, but I've been researching high and low for a similar thing - to extract data out of a nandroid backup, and finally found the solution.
In my case, the app would NOT show in the nandroid backup extraction list in TiBu PRO, even if it was there. So, I installed the latest version of the app on the market, restored data ONLY, and it worked like a charm.
Let us know if it works for you! This is on the Verizon I535 however..not sure if that will matter. Don't see why it would.
but where it is saving the apps I am restoring from TWRP backups?

Not operator error so far as I can tell. I am having the same difficulties. I find that when I use my super root level file browser and go ahead and make a data folder for the app then TiBu Pro will be able to restore the app and its data, but otherwise no go. I think that TiBu Pro - for some reason - doesn't have permission to create folders. So without the folder, no installation can happen.
Does anyone know how to set it so that it can? That would make my life much easier.
I got a replacement phone for my note and i am trying to swapping units but I am not getting the results I wanted. Right now none of the phones are rooted. I have use app backup and restore, app monster backup and restore pro trial and my backup pro trial. The first 2 do a successful backup and i can restore but my backup pro will not let me restore to another phone in the trial mode...
Anyway, those that restore install the apps but the phones does not Look the same. Icons are not like I had them setup before, all paper walls are not the same, etc...
Am i expecting too much from these app? Is there an app that will effectively clone the phone much like a restore in a computer does? Do I have to be rooted for this to happen and can I unroot the old phone to send it back to at&t and they won't be able to tell?
Thanks!
Ps- I also attempted Kies but the restore fails every time. If I do a restore of settings only it restore that but still all icons are not the same etc...
Unless you are using a launcher that has the option to restore its own settings i think you are out of luck.

So If I install a launcher will it replicate what I have now in the old phone (meaning I wont have to set up the icons on the new launcher on the old phone) I can then back that up and have the setting moved?
How about a nandroid backup? it sounds to me than that is the closest thing to a clone but I have to be rooted to use that. Can I root the old phone then unroot it?
That might work. Seems like just as much energy though
