Whats the difference between ROM manager and Titanium backup? I have ROM manager back up everything on my phone on a daily basis. I just flashed Das BAMF and it came with Titanium Backup and noticed the Backup\restore tab. I personally think ROM manager back up is great, but have been reading that most of you love Titanium. What, if any, are the advantages of Titanium?
Thanks
Titanium backs up apps and settings, and Rom manager or clockwork backs up your whole phone if that makes sense.
Using a backup from clockwork you can roll back to what you had before. Using titanium you can restore your apps and settings to a new version of a Rom.
Be careful restoring stuff especially settings with titanium when going to a new build sometimes that will screw things up.
Personally I don't use titanium all that much, I like to stick with the same Rom. but its nice to have.

ROM manager let's you download roms and most importantly, back them up.
ROM manager backs up the entire phone pretty much. Settings, apps, cache, all that stuff.
Titanium backup let's you backup[and restore] all the apps and app settings on your phone.
It's good for when changing roms where you have to start on a clean slate. (Wiping the phone)
Certainly beats downloading all the apps from the market again, while also losing your app data.
Any more questions?

Hi,
I just flashed Gingerbread 2.3.3 to my Eris. Everything works great until I restore my apps with Titanium Backup. After that's complete, I keep getting a Force Close on androis.process.acore Any idea what's causing this? Like I said, everything works great until I replace my old apps.
Thanks!
It seems like CM7 doesn't like Ti Backup. Some people have issues while others don't. I don't use it so that's ask the help I can give, just our quirky Eris

Just like the poster above me. It seems that TB is hit and miss when restoring apps in these CM7 roms. Generally I only use TB to delete "stock" apps that I don't want. You might be able to run logcat while trying to restore said app and see if it says anything during the force close. If you don't know how to run logcat just look for a tutorial on here to help you.

Thanks guys! I tried reflashing the ROM and reloading all my apps manualy, i.e. without Titanium Backup and it's working beautifully! I did use it for one app though because I needed all my data back with the app. As soon as the app was restored, I deleted TB. Still no issues. All is good!

if your last backup was on froyo and you were trying to go to GB then some people have reported TB issues. Many (including myself) have used TB after the initial GB flash to backup and restore without any issues.

when going from one OS version to another, don't restore data. Apps should be fine, but not app or system data; its been known to cause issues. There's even a setting in Ti that addresses this.

So I'm looking to switch roms for the first time since I did my initial root and flash, but I'd like to not have to redownload all my apps and redo my customizations. How, specifically, can I accomplish this?
Thanks

Use a wonderful app called Titanium Backup

To some extent, there's no way around this. You're installing a new rom that requires wiping the phone first, at least, if you don't want buggy issues popping up later.
+1 for Titanium Backup. (Generally not a good idea to backup your system settings across roms, asking for compatibility trouble.)
MyBackup Root will backup your SMS, MMS, contacts, call logs, etc.
Your launcher probably has a backup/restore function to save your settings to the external SD. Some of your widgets might have a similar function.
Ive been following the development of the omega rom recently and there have been a few releases one after another ( which is a great thing ).
However Is there a way I can back everything up inc wallpapers, EQ settings etc. I have run tit backup everytime but that just restores the apps and not the settings inside.
This is the only pain for me as it can take some time to reset everything.
TB does this job pretty well, you have to restore the application along with its data in tb

Checking out new ROMS is cool and all....But a pain in the ass....especially with the time it takes to set up your phone how you normally like it.
So my question is: how do yall get this out of the way as fast as possible?
Im sure some of yall crackflashers have this down to a science.
I generally use stock apps like gmail etc. so I try not to have too many apps to install. As a result, most of my data is in the cloud. If my game saves get wiped then I have the fun of replaying the games. Lately I've been using launcher 7 so not a great deal to setup with that.
Probably takes my less than 20 mins to get setup depending on what the base is. Ics settings tend to all be in the same place across rom types (cm, stock etc).

I use SMS backup & Restore for backup of SMS..
Contacts are stored in Google server ofcourse..
I am using GameOn (paid app that needs ROOT also) to save game progress..
I usually take backup (settings) of GO-SMS and Dialer-One using the app itself...
So ROM flashing and switching is always a breeze...
Titanium Backup PRO
You can do pretty much everything with it! In 10 minutes it restores apps, data and everything you want. You can also freeze apps and integrate updates in the internal memory, move apps, delete caches and lots more!

+1 on Titanium Backup..
Eases a lot on the Backup and Restore part.
There are alternatives such as MyBackup Pro.. Which done pretty much the same thing..
Albeit, Titanium Backup is a more popular solution

Yea but one thing you gotta watch with Tibu is that you cant restore system data (only apps) when switching ROMs. It will totally freeze up the system since the systems settings tend to conflict with the builds of the new ones. Ran into that prob last nite.

I have come across this on at least 3 other devices. Its most defective when changing to another android version. 2.3 - 4 for example.

Hey there!

Bump?

for all roms youll have to wipe unless you want to risk instability.
And why do you not want to wipe. It takes like 2 minutes to restore everything with tibu
Tibu?
The only reason i dont want to wipe. Is because there are apps on the tablet from my mom and sister. They get mad if i lose their apps... i will back them up before wiping and stuff. I just hate that. Cuz it always gets messed up...
Thats why i was looking for a rom without
Kind regards

Yup. Or "My Backup Root", which is great. It'll backup and restore all of your apps, photos, videos, music, SMS/MMS, and/or Data + more.

In this case you should use some backup tool as when upgrading to android 4.0.4 or even 4.1.2 all apps will be erased unfortunately.
Any one knows a good fast and most of all rom with good battery? Because compared to the ipad 2. Galaxy tab battery sucks.....

I like both the aokp and cm10 jelly bean roms. They are fast, but won't keep up with the iPad on battery. If you under clock it, it might.
there are several points to consider:
1. you want only the apps or also their data? if only the apps, the task is much easier, just check on the market for apps that can do backup.
2. if you also need data, than you must be careful. search deeply and choose wisely, especially if you plan big move (GB to ICS, ICS to JB). I found out that some apps don't work very good in cases like this to restore data. personally, I would backup with several apps, to be sure (and avoid your getting 'killed').
3. I think, but not 100% sure, that also the Samsung PC sw (Kies) can make backup and restore of apps and data.
