You cant restore the CM7 system apps to devoid final. You can restore the apps/games that you downloaded to the devoid final though titanium backup. Just dont restore apps like google maps/talk/ etc which comes preinstalled.
PS: hows the devoid final rom ?

That's right, Use Titanium Backup. I haven't flashed void.final yet because of all the hassle of restoring apps and data.

Firs things first... use Titanium Backup or something similar along with you nand backups. This should make restoring apps easy. Run the backup batch and then the restore batch on the new rom. I do not recommend restoring system data, it may cause faults in the system, especially when going from 2.2 to 2.3 and back.
So, man, restore the nand backup of your CM7, use Titanium Backup batch, re-flash your void.final and then restore the Titanium Backups. That should do it. This procedure is a must if you want to test custom roms, or just flash often.
Cheers!

Mate, better get used to Titanium Backup, it's a life saver if you like modding.
Word of advice: update your backups, and (this is an important one) backup (copy on HDD) your Titanium backups (you can find them on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/)!

Yeah. Getting Pro with better scheduling (plus Dropbox sync) is worth it, IMHO. Also, the backups are much faster with Pro.

i really wanna thank you guys but it's only limited to five,.but i'll hit them tomorrow!! thanks guys!!!

Ah, you mean SMS/MMS... Well, dunno about Titanium. I am backing them up via GO SMS Pro; never liked the stock messaging app really. It can do scheduled backups (binary/XML, full/incremental) and even send the backups to your email.

i will try SMS Backup and Restore from market. if it does not work, i'll try yours! thanks for ur time man and all of u there who shared his time answering my questions!

clockwork backs up your rom so if you restore that it'll just restore whatever rom you did the back up on
you need to use titanium backup or a similar app to backup and restore apps

Best way to backup the S3

Hi there, I'm kinda new to android and was wondering: is there a way to back up the S3 like the iPhone? Where everything gets backed up into a file and if i were to reformat my phone I can just restore it and everything will be there. Thanks. :angel:
I really like Go Backup. Never had an issue with it, even from going to stock firmware to CM9 or 10, which usually ruins titanium backups.
But the one file backup would be a nandroid, which is done through recovery.

Yes you can restore but it is not advisable..will create conflicts and FCs..Best bet is to restore all the apps with data from TB..all the apps will have their settings intact..only problem is TW launcher but if you are going to AOSP then that is not a problem...otherwise backup TWlauncher also and restore it with Data..force closes may come though..
Titanium Backup works great for me, but be careful restoring system aps.

What does backing up ROM contain?

Hi all!
Quick question: What is backed up when backing up a ROM with Clockworkmod? Is it only the ROM or is all my apps + data backed up too? I am considering if i should flash a Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly to try out, but i want it to be easy to get back to my current version of Cyanogenmod.
Thanks in advance
/gammarik
Anyone? I want to make sure that i can get back to my CM9 easily with all settings and apps intact after trying CM10.

Yes. Saves apk+data. Even market link too. It has an option for that. But a clockwork mod backup includes all including data, system etc

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.

[Q] Flashing roms

Hello all,
I am kind of new to rooting. I've owned my S3 for like 4 months but only just now did I decide to root it... I've already installed a custom rom and i couldn't be happier, it's Wanamlite 5.3.
Now I would like to try different roms, such as UltimaRom, as it has a far better Aroma installer with much more customization.
But I've got a question... ¿Do i need to wipe all my data in order to flash the other rom on top of Wanamlite?
Cheers.
You might get lucky and be just fine flashing it on top, but there's a very good chance you'll get a lot of problems. In fact, it probably won't boot at all. So it's always good to do a wipe before switching ROMs. Backup your data and apps in Titanium

Yeah... I'll most likely end up doing that.
Anyway, I was reading the instructions in the UltimaRom post and they mention that you should make a NANDroid Backup using CWM. What is the purpose of this backup? I mean, with Titatanium you can restore your apps, but what kind of data does NANDroid Backup save and restore?
Cheers.
