Is there any way to perform a nandroid restore excluding an app from coming back?
I was thinking of mounting the SD and traveling to the CWM directory. Afterward, I would remove the apk via Windows Explorer. Is this sufficient to eradicate all traces of that app?
Thanks everyone in advance for your help!

try this: app for selective restore from nandroid.
I did a full backup with titanium, factory reset then restore. The app did a great job. The only thing it didn't restore was my email accounts and home screen layouts. For future reference, is there a way to backup and restore these? I didn't back up all of the system files, just selected ones because I wanted to wipe as much as possible for a clean start.

Just wondering. I just flashed JellyBeans and so far I'm not sure if I want to keep it. Might go back to CleanROM. But it gets tiring having to set everything up over and over. There has to be a way to just back everything up and restore it after installing a new rom.
Titanium Backup (app) can backup/restore your apps and appdata.
A Nandroid backup (recovery) can backup the entire rom, basically creating a duplicate of what your phone is currently running.
refer to the glossary section of my guide.
Thanks guys.

So that nandroid backup restores the rom and your apps? 'Cause I've been using titanium but having to reinstall each app anoys me.

No, not when you take the backup. When you restore you shouldn't have to either.

Don't use this to restore your apps between flashes. It restores system data too abs you very well will have issues on your new ROM. Use titanium backup to restore your apps. Of You pay for the pro version it t only takes 1 click.

After factory reset then restore automatically my data?
Plz help.i know use backup app restore.
But i want full automatic.
Is it possible?
Something that I've been curious about- if I decide to factory reset my device due to some issue/bug found in an update or something, would using the LG Backup tool to backup and then restore after the reset be safe?
I just don't know if the backup tool touches system data and if a restore would just bring back any non-app related issues?
factory reset does not format. You dont have to use Lg backup.
