If I switch to a new ROM wipe my cache/data yaadaa yaadaa, then when I'mon the new ROM can I go back into CWM and go into advanced restore can I restore just my data will I get back all my apps and data and everything will be good? As long as my backup and new ROM are both EB01?

For just restoring Apps and the data when switching between roms, I recommend.....no, HIGHLY recommend Titanium Backup. Not only does this app backup apps and the data of the apps, it also backups the market cache, so on the market, the app would list as being installed. It's incredibly useful. It also allows you to uninstall system apps by the way.
I know that and that's not what I'm getting at, I don't want to get titainium backup pro and the regular titainium backup takes forever to restore because u have to hit install for every app and its very tidious sooooo, I came to the conclusion since its in my backup files why can't I just restore it from there because its just one click and no hassle... but I want to know if that works.
P.S. I have titainium... and mybackup root too...

It is tedious, but in my case worth it. I have not used MyBackup Root in app backups, but you can try.

Yes, still on 2.1, waiting on some Gingerbread goodness, but might flash Vanilla Froyo.

It may have apps that are specific to the previous ROM. I've done it and it can work but if its a differnt ROM it can cause problems. try it and see.
Personally I'd save up the 6 bucks and buy Tibkup if you are going to flash ROMS Titanium Backup is going to be one (if not the one) most used application you will use. If you can't part with the 6 bucks get MyBackup Root I don't think it prompts you for restores but I could be wrong (I haven't' used it since I bought TB)

It doesn't always work. Titanium Pro is worth it if you're going to be flashing multiple ROMs. The time saved will equal much more than $6.

did i miss something? Batch Restore your app people....in the full licensed version, pay the money...it deserves it...phenominal app....only must have app i have come across since I've owned my original Droid....worked even when I switched to the Inc, and copied the backup folder over...(Apps+Data only, obviously no system stuff)
is that what you're getting at on post#3...pay the money and forget about worrying...I always wipe everything between roms, even updates to the one i'm running...then TiBU after flashing new rom...takes a couple minutes and I'm back up and running...even with Go Launcher, homescreens are backed up minus widgets
This post has nothing to do with TiBU at all, and its not the purpose, I just want to know if I can take the data from a backup and install it with my new rom?

It does have something to do with tibkup if you want to restore your data. You've been told basically NO to your OP and to use tibk. If you don't want to listen why ask?
I already know about tibu, loomi.g for an even easyer way thoo...

Which would be to BUY titanium Backup Pro or MyBackup Root
Other than that you can take a chance and restore /data or if your on 2.2 or higher let Google restore all your apps from the cloud but a lot of ROMs don't seem to auto restore.
Stop being cheap. It's worth it.
Stop being a douchh I alreadyy did.

I use Power Amp as my music player, I wanted to know if there is a way to backup my playlist so that I don't have to redo them everytime I flash a ROM. I backed up the app with titanium backup pro but that doesn't restore my playlist when I restore the app.
Any help how I could?

Anybody?

Well, they probably get stored somewhere where Titanium backup doesn't check. Check the PowerAmp website for where it stores your playlists, and then go in there and copy them out to your SD card manually.

I just joined the root game with the purchase of the Rezound so i never learned how to backup and restore things. i just installed titanium backup and kinda backed everything up, took the files off of the sd card and put them back on and restored them when i flashed a new rom.
Now i heard about this method were you create an update.zip folder to flash in recovery and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this?
I thought it only installed titanium but I dont know. I will say this I run my backups on a schedule every night at 2 am everyday. I use force redo of backups. Then I know I'm backed up. I also sync that to my dropbox.

Ding ding ding. Drop box works great for this purpose. Then, if your internal/ext. Storage gets erased, you will always have it at your disposal.

Just so you don't have regrets later, just get in the habit of only backing up the user apps. If you jump roms you could run into some issues restoring system apps. Done there, been that

May want to look into MyBackup root, if all you're interested in is app backup. I have found it to be a little faster and it's free version allows "silent" restoring of apps.
How can I back up everything on my phone, settings, email accounts, apps, ringtone and notification settings, music, etc..etc... and then restore them to the new phone?
I use my backup pro. There are many apps that can do this. I've used this app for a while and it works flawless. I recommend saving your back up on to your ext micro sd cards. So you won't loose your back up on the wipe. Once restored, go to the app store download my backup pro and restore.

Is there any way to back it up to my PC?

If you use mybackup pro and have root, it'll backup to your SD card and then you just copy to your comp. It goes in a folder called reware I think it was.
Then put it back and restore on the new phone.

go back up is simple and really easy...

Hi
does anybody know if it's possible to save and reinstall playlists created using the google play music app. When i do a data wipe, the playlists i've previously created have (as expected) been deleted, is it possible to back up then restore rather than having to recreate post wipe?

Did u already try to backup the app via titanium backup?
This should backup also the playlists etc...
Much success
CHEERS

Thanks for the suggestion. I have to admit that I've never used Titanium Backup before, so I DL'd it, tried your suggestion......and it works..... ....
No more recreating playlists post wipe and flash....and I've even copied the backup to my micro SD card so that there's absolutely no chance of accidental deletion.....

Yes titanium backup is my top 10 must have app
