[Q] Nandroid Backup - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I do a Nandroid backup, does it backup the kernel, lag fix, & rom? In other words, if I switch to a different rom, kernel, & lag-fix, and then want to nandroid back to where I was before, will the nandroid reinstall the old kernel, rom, & lag-fix?

[Q] OCLF and Titanium Backup

Couple of noob questions.
I know restoring a titanium backup makes oclf fail, but my question is if I backup in titanium and then disable OCLF to flash newer roms, will I have any trouble recovering the apps later?
Also, how many nandroid backups are stored? I last backed up my stock JI6 but if I nandroid again with a custom rom, will it overwrite my previous stock nandroid?

[Q] samsung galaxy s 2 restoring nandroid backup

Hi guys,
I am facing a very curious and seemingly common problem.I have litening rom installed on my gs2. Now i want to change the ROM but dont want to lose my data. Taking a nandroid backup I noticed that there is a special option in CWM called advanced restore.Using that you can restore parts of your nandroid backup instead of taking a full restore.
Now my question is that, once I have installed a new ROM can I take a restore of only the data part of my nandroid backup to my current ROM? The backup was taken when I had litening ROM installed. Will it return all my apps , app data and other things as they were with litening rom to my new ROM ?
You should have used Titanium Backup to restore apps and app data, restoring system data across different ROMS is not typically recommended but can be done, it is totally up to you. Nonetheless, your best bet to restore any or all of this is not a nandroid backup, that is best for restoring an entire ROM, to restore just apps or data or whatever, use Titanium Backup. So my advice would be, create another nandroid of your new ROM, restore back to your old ROM, download Titanium backup, backup apps and data using that. Restore back to new ROM, download titanium backup and choose option, restore missing apps and data.

Do I just go into TWRP/install/choose zip file?
I made a nandroid backup with EFS/Modem backed up as well. If I don't like this rom, just restore everything minus the modem/efs, right?

Install stock rom from titanium backup

I had taken the titanium backup in stock rom. Now I have installed some other rom which is lagging I want my stock rom back. So can I use the same titanium backup
I don't think so. I believe Titanium Backup if for apps only.
We cant
They're correct. This is why it's always suggested to make a backup in your custom recovery - called a nandroid. Otherwise you'll have to install the stock firmware and re-root.
