If I flash a new rom and then do an advanced restore and restore data, does this restore my apps + data on clockwork recovery?
I tried searching the cw page on xda as well as the reg cw page n couldn't find It.
I know I can restore apps via other methods but nandroid would be better for me. TIA

I would recommend Titanium Backup over anything else. Its simple and gets the job done. I posted a guide in this forum which wil walk you through the process to backup and recover from backup.
I have been doing Advanced Nandroid Data Restore ever since I learned what a Nandroid backup was, on every ROM, and I almost never get forced closes, or any issues that I can think of. I am posting my method over in The XDA Fascinate area, but I think the devs cleaning up the ROMs is what makes this work so well.
I do that advanced restore data method when upgrading to the same type of rom. Such as Bionix 1.2.1 to Bionix 1.3.1 to Bionix NextGen1 to Bionix NextGen2, etc. Never had a problem.

Been reading for 2 weeks now. Here's what I have come up with and would appreciate help. Have ADB, rooted Tbolt. Know how to work with ADB. Have Titanium Backup, have run backup all user apps and system data. Downloaded perfect storm rom. Know how to put that on.
Question is this. Before I put on the new rom.. If I want to go back to original rom do I just go to titanium backup and do a restore? OR am I missing something? Sorry for this if it's somewhere in the forums. I can't find all this in one! Thx

You do back ups and restores in the recovery system. Reboot to recovery and then navigate to backup and restore

And that takes you back to the original rom just like before you changed rom? Thx
Yes. This is a full backup (including kernel, ROM, data, etc).
How to use the recovery
If I install a custom rom and then want to restore my apps and programs from my backup I made of my stock vibrant, can I just restore the data file from clockworks backup?.... or would that mess up my rom?

clockwork backs up your rom so if you restore that it'll just restore whatever rom you did the back up on
you need to use titanium backup or a similar app to backup and restore apps

ok but clockwork has an advanced restore which will let you restore just you data. I didn't know if I could just restore that data to a new rom?

You could restore this way, but you very well could have a lot of bugs and issues from this.

Hi
I am about to install Villain rom 2.1 onto my GS2. As per instructions, I have backed up using the app that got installed by the cf root called CWM.
I would lose all my setting etc when I install the rom right? If I want to get it back while keeping the villain rom do i restore from CWM. And will this keep the root and the custom rom.??
Thanks. Please help. ASAP
Yes you will lose your settings, and app data, if you want to save it, use titanium backup and backup user Apps and data.
You can restore anything in white or green, but items in red will most likely cause problems
The backup you made is a nandroid backup which if you restore you will restore your whole old rom.
As far as root, cf root will auto root, and villainrom is rooted so you can just install the superuser app from the market.

You mean on the homescreens etc? Depending on the launcher, you can try backing up twlauncher and restoring it after you flash, but it may not work, so take a nandroid backup before you try.

Just wondering......
I'm on simply honey 5.1 and have been updating with it's no wipe script. I'm curious in trying MIUI and Cm7. I just wanna know if I could restore with a cwm backup, and get ask my apps back without having to do a titanium backup.
thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I believe you can but you if you go to CM7 or MIUI, you will have to odin back to stock if you want to revert to anything else. But from there you won't be able to just restore your CWM backup because CWM does not backup the kernel. Best thing to do then is to flash any GB rom to get back to GB kernel. Then you can restore your CWM backup.
Anyone correct me if this is not the case.
But wool all of my market apps still be installed thru the cwm restore? Even if the ROM I switch to wipes?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yeah the CWM backup backs up your current config exactly as it is (*except the kernel). So if you end up restoring, it should be right back to the way it was when you backed up.
Is there an app that restores everything (apps, data, system settings) you had on your phone prior to installing a new ROM? So when you wipe your data and flash a new ROM, all you have to do is restore from the app and you're set

That would be titanium backup. I'd suggest getting the paid version though as it makes restoring much easier as you can do a batch restore vs one by one. If you are moving from say froyo to gingerbread, which have diff file structures, then you'll only be able to pretty much restore the app without data if I'm correct.

You can use Nandroid bundled in the recovery software (at least Clockwork and 4EXT work for me), just backup before installing a new ROM, it restores almost everything: kernel, system, data, cache, etc.
i prefer two apps
TITANIUM BACKUP PRO AND MYBACKPRO.....DEY BOTH ARE AWESUM
I used Titanium after flashing and it worked great! Thanks

Titanium Backup is an excellant App when used correctly. I would suggest the Pro version. Although I would caution against restoring System Data, it can cause issues down the line. App data for Games and such, usually isn't an issue though.
can it be used to backup sms,call log n contacts?
