hey, before I update my xperia x10 to 2.3., I would like to know if I backup now on 2.1. with the free version of titanium backup (not buying the pro) my games + data will I be able to restore them later when I'm on 2.3.? Can I backup data with the free version at all?
OR, I can also do this with Backup and Restore program? I have B&R on my x10 (of course) and I backed everything up, then when I update to 2.3. and download that B&R for 2.3. will it restore the game data too? I don't wanna lose my progress, espcially angry birds :/
Thanks
i think u wont get B& R for 2.3 ..m not sure on this ..ya but u can backup your app using Titanium Backup !!and regarding data m not sure using Titanium Backup !!
Hope it works !!
Thank me if it clears u a bit !!
Edit:
It works bro it will backup eveyrthin ur app and the data ...,so u can go ahead with TB
Go ahead - that's how I keep my Angry Birds (all 3 versions) and a few other games going through all these ROM updates, custom ROM tests, etc...
I think I only had a problem once when I used Apps2SD or something like that. If you have never moved anything to your SD Card you are good.

there is a link on the xda forums for a 2.3. version of it, I am not aware of who developed it though, do you think it would be able to restore game saves? I'll try TB it when I root it

nope I've never used apps2sd, also I have never rooted my phone, will I be able to normally update even if it's rooted (to the stock 2.3., I'm on stock 2.1. now)? I never rooted my phone yet, can anything bad happen?

TB does not fully work
Hi,
My experience is that TB does not save all app data. I have a banking app with token configuration and TB can't save this token data. The only way is to use xRec backup and restore, but many times a custom, not stock-based ROM is not compatible to restoring an xRec backup.
So, when I change to a non-stock ROM I lose banking app's token data. Any help?
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!

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?

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.
Hello. I have made a nandroid backup with AmonRa recovery, selecting everything.
So, If I restore that backup, my phone will return exactly like it was in that moment? same kernel, same rom, same all? what about apps in sd ext and their data?
If I want to upgrade my Rom (from miks 6.5.7 to 6.5.8) and I dont wanna lost my apps+data and settings data, can I use nandroid backup for restoring data? How could I use it?
Thanks you so much, I didnt find any answer

Answering to ur question yeah nandroid backs up rom kernel + apps ..not sure about ext ! But the app will be backed up normally ..and if u want to upgrade to miks rom and need data n apps use titanium backup to batch backup all apps + data n restore it later whenever u need ..
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
If u r going from miks 6.5.7 to 6.5.8 u need not wipe anything..just flash the rom directly. All apps will be intact..

The problem is that Titanium backup wont work because I use app2sd and all apps in SD could come with problems.
so its not a sure way.
(Sorry for the wrong forum...please move it, sorry for inconvenience)
Wt? Even I use app2sd n titanium works perfectly!

Actually restoring apps works flawlesslybut the problem arises only with system data..
U can restore your data only on similar versions of the rom..say u cannot restore data from 2.3
3 LG based rom to cm7 ..however using batch backup apps on SD also get backed up and will be restored later when u restore as in normal internal memory later!

No the baseband is not backed up.so u need to flash baseband while changing from official to unofficial and vice versa.

Actually,you can upgrade from miks 6.5.7 to 6.5.8 without wiping data.
If you are on CM 6.5.7, just flash CM 6.5.8 (don't wipe anything). And then flash dark tremor apps2sd again. All your apps will be back.

Hell All,
Sorry if this is a noob question and someone had asked already. ( I tried to do a search but was unable to find the answer)
I recently discovered the joy of using custom ROMS and I want to try them all. But unfortunately one of the things is that whenever I flash a new ROM, I have to re do all the settings, which takes a lot of time.
I was wondering if there are any ways to back up a custom ROM settings so I can try out different custom ROMs, and if I decide to go back to the old one, I can just use that backup and have everything restored back to my saved old custom ROM settings.
Thanks
Use xrecovery to make a backup
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
You may use Titanium Backup Pro, however you can't restore system apps such as system settings between ROMs because this will cause force close loops like "process a.core in Android has stopped" hence leaving your phone unuseable because these fc will not stop.
However if you go from one cm base to another, or something like that sometimes it will work no problems. But you can always nandroid and try it out

Yes.... Titanium or mybackup can be used to backup apps+data. For entire custom rom configuration backup you gotta use xrecovery.

you just solved my headache!! I was unable to figure out, for the life of me, why after flashing the white cookie ROM I kept getting "process a.core in Android" FC. That problem has plagued me to the point where I was about to go crazy! Thanks for the advice!

This is going to make my life a lot easier So I just do a xrecovery backup on the current custom ROM I have, and I can try out new ROMS. if I ultimately decide to go back to the xrecovery backed up ROM, then all I have to do is reinstall that ROM and do a xrecovery restore? and everything will just be like if I have not changed a custom ROM at all?
** I noticed that there is only one "backup" option in xrecovery, so that option alone is going to back up my entire ROM configuration and apps and system data? Or for apps and system data I have to use TB?
Thanks all, for the help! I really appreciate it!! You guys are life savers!

That one single "backup " is one man army! It does all.... If you do a backup via xrecovery then tb is not required. However, its a good practice to keep apps backed up in tb ib case xrecovery fails! Since sometimes faulty backup can't be restored and we get this "md5 failed".
Now, to restore a backup you don't need to flash the old rom again. Just perform a data wipe in xrecovery and restore

No need to flash the ROM, just restore the backup and your phone will be exactly as it was when you made the backup

Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?
