Apps can be backed up with titanium backup. Just make sure it's backing up to the external card, not internal.
New updates shouldn't wipe the phone if it's only the newer version of the same build. Just load the zip on to the external card and run the recovery app to load it
But sometimes you have to wipe everything to get a new rom.

Titanium Backup works perfectly. It backsup everything from settings to homescreens to apps. As long as your phone has enough space to store the backup (or large enough sd card) you can store your backup files from the phone to the computer. Then update. Reinstall Titianum Backup from market. Copy the backup files back to your phone, and restore using TB

i know that, i have titanium backup, but you didnt answer my question....
i will need to wipe everything, use RSDLite to install 4.1.27 (i think it was) and then restore all the apps and then update the phone to the newest release and then put gladatrix again???
or just update the phone without wiping everything and restored to factory and it will work?
I didn't have to go back to .26. I just ran rsd with the .83 download, re rooted, and reflashed

Get Titanium from Market, update you busybox from titanium bkp, go to backup/restore tab, press menu button and then batch. Run the batch opperation you need. Save the titanium bkp folder from your sd to pc, and you're done.

Does this really work, so just dragging the Titanium Bkp folder back in to the SD and restoring installs all the apps again?
@shotgun32 & @Vivasanti
Yes. Put the TitaniumBackup folder back on the SD card after partitioning, wiping, formatting or whatever. Install Titanium Backup again from the Market on your fresh installed ROM and then restore. If your backup included system data, you will also have the SMS and contacts restored, plus most of the system settings. Also, you can restore only the needed apps.
Guys need help here, ive successfuly installed my 1st custom rom and restored my apps from titanium backup but my restored apps are not shown in market->myapps,
I need my restored apps to be linked back in the market so that I can still receive notification when an app has a new update. tnx
First off let me say if this is adressed in another thread or video, im sorry!
But my question is this: How does titanium backup work?
For example, if I run a full system recovery with TB and then flash the sbf file and then load gingerblur, can I then recover all of the settings and apps from titanium backup? If so, how might one go about doing that?
Another example would be, if I return my atrix for a new atrix for whatever reason, could I recover everything after that?
Thanks in advance for all your help guys!

When you start tibu press menu then batch, then select "backup all user apps" (I think its first). Let it run. Then you can run SBC and Ginger blur then install tibu from the market, open it press menu, batch, then go about 1/2 down to "restore missing apps with data" and start it and when its done you have all apps with settings back.
A also highly recommend buying tibu premium as it makes most of this automated.

Ok thanks for the reply! So titanium backup creates a recovery file on the phone that wont be erased and ill always be able to access it?
Also does it work if I get a new phone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yes, that would be my question as that is where I am.
I have the directory on my sdcard-ext; I've copied it to the empty directory of the same name on the sdcard yet I can't seem to get at any of my old backups.
What did I miss in the process? Is there a way to make it LOOK at this saved data?
Well I don't know about not being erased; the program backs up the application and all of its data into a folder. You can do single applications or all of them.
If you are say, resetting the phone or doing a factory reset, this is essential if you want all of your applications back the way you had them.
I'm using two phones and when I got my second, I just installed TB on it and backed up the apps that I wanted transfered wwith data (mostly games and things that don't have cloud data) and copied them to the new phone to be restored.
I just bought the pro version that gives access to dropbox and other things but I haven't used any of the features yet.

I believe TiBu's default location is in /sdcard/titaniumbackup (From root location). Now once you back up your apps all that information is stored in that "Titaniumbackup" folder. Now what you can do is copy that folder and where, even your computer and it's saved. You can even load that folder on a different phone and run TiBu on the phone and install the apps on that phone. Usually when you flash roms or even the SBF file it wont erase the internal SD card, at least I've never had an issue with my internal SD being erased in the last 2 years. Just take your titaniumbackup folder and put it on to you internal SD card and TiBu should recognize it no problem.
As far as how it saves it, I think it saves the .apk and it also saves another with the app settings.
Hope this helps clear some stuff up.
Ok cool, thank you very much for the help!

I flashed CM7 Nightly Build 20 this morning and found out that it messed up my phone, so I odined back to stock, rerooted my phone and reflashed nightly build 17 which had been working on my phone. When I batch restored my missing apps with data (I made sure not to restore system apps) with Titanium Backup Pro it said that it restored everything but a lot of my apps are missing their data. I have tried restoring some of the missing data individually but TB says that it failed each time I try to restore any apps or data that way. Help!
Ur backup is corrupt I think?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I'm worried you might be right. The only reason I have any hope that it isn't corrupt is that I have TB set to store 3 backups and the one before my previous backup used to work fine and now it doesn't. I've tried searching but haven't found a solution yet.
tb does have a verify backup. U have to make sure u use that every once in a while so if it is corrupt u catch it. good luck

That's the weird thing, I made my most recent backup this morning and then verified it and everything said it was fine.
The same thing is happening to me using #22, data restore is not working.
Even for the same rom, if i back an app+data, uninstall it, and the try to restore it i always get "data restore failed"...
Please tell me if you can solve this, i'll do the same
where u getting #22????

I thought it was only me. I get data restore errors on both MIUI and CM7, so I assume it's an error with Titanium Backup since they just released an update today.

Titanium backup new update... it works now. They messed up with the last one for sure
Thanks for all of your responses. I just downloaded the latest update to TB and I am able to restore once more. Thankfully I now have everything back to normal.
My wife just received a x2 as a replacement for her x. It has froyo on it, if I root it to restore some apps with ti backup from a previous back up, and then do the gb ota will there be any problems other than losing root.

If I understand correctly you will not be able to use titanium backup to restore what you back up if you lose root, so backing up seems like a waste
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
You should sbf back to Froyo and update to gingerbread pre-root if you don't wish to lose app data.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Haven't done the ota yet, still running froyo. Was going to, root, restore some apps that are no longer available in the market, and then ota. She does not care about having a rooted phone, she just doesnt wamt to lose those apps. If I knew how to pull them from the phone I would just do that, but I'm no developer. They're books mostly. I have a thundercrap, so I'm not that familiar with the moto stuff.
Titanium Backup is a root app. If you backup with Titanium backup, do the OTA to GB and lose root how do you plan on restoring what you backed up?
Like EvilTim said earlier, what is the sense of backing up if you do not plan on running GB rooted?
Already have a backup from old phone, am going to use old sd card and restore from ti before I do the ota. I just want to make sure if I do the ota over a rooted froyo all that will happen is lose root. On the tbolt if you flash an ota over some rooted roms it will brick you, and I don't want that to happen. If this won't work can someone tell me how to pull a market downloaded app from the phone so it can be installed on the new phone. I have root explorer on the old phone if that helps.
Verizon recommends you do a factory reset before upgrading, while this may not be necessary, if you encounter an issue after upgrading you will most likely have to sbf and start over
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I have never done a factory reset before an ota, but that's a new one to me. This was somewhat helpful, I think ill just tell her it's not possible to save it.
what apps is she trying to save? if it's not available in the market, you can always find the apk on the net. if it's books, save the books from your sd card to your hd and then put them back on the sd card after you update to gb.
It doesn't seem people are understanding what your're asking.
If you have a rooted Froyo phone you can restore a Titanium backup of apps from another phone (using that phone's SD card). Then you can do an OTA update to Gingerbread. Those apps will still be available, but you will lose root.
You may want to use P3's rooted GB though... there may be other apps she wants to backup/restore in the future with Titanium.
Thank you xeno, you understood.

I'm pretty sure that in order to restore those apps into the new GB phone, you'll need root. Titanium Backup will not run without root, as it needs to make changes to both system files and permissions.
It didn't work, exactly. However, I improvised. By going into the ti backup directory and going through the files I extracted the apk files and that turned then them into installable apks. Lost the data, so games were started from beginning, but they were installed.

So, you're saying you restored the files to a rooted 2.2.2 phone and then did an OTA update to 2.3.3? That should work for keeping apps.
If you didn't restore before going to OTA 2.3.3 then I don't think Titanium would work for you.
Yes what you are wanting to do will work root restore than ota
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.
Thank you

think i've figured out a method of attack
ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.
solved
just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
