If I install a custom rom and then want to restore my apps and programs from my backup I made of my stock vibrant, can I just restore the data file from clockworks backup?.... or would that mess up my rom?

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

ok but clockwork has an advanced restore which will let you restore just you data. I didn't know if I could just restore that data to a new rom?

You could restore this way, but you very well could have a lot of bugs and issues from this.

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.

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.

yes, only install CWM and you make a NANdroid Backup, ... flash whit the new room and reinstalling the recovery CWM, and give in advanced-backup-restore here only select data...

I have been using it for long. But never had any problem. Don't get what problem you had!
Jeah, install CWM recovery and use NANDROID backup(like adiles sayed) for RESTORING(its the BEST WAY). But if you want only restore you APPS, then you can use TITANIUM BACKUP. It works very well!
CHEERS!
What exactly does nan droid backup restore??
Sent from my Galaxy ace using Tapatalk
Nandroid is a complete backup of your system. But with advanced restore you can also only restore the phone settings.
I wouldn't advise you to restore settings from a Froyo ROM to a Gingerbread one though.
Same goes with Titanium Backup. When you upgrade to GB, just reinstall the Apps from market and only restore Appdata with Titanium.
When changing from a stock gb rom to a custom gb rom is it safe to do a complete nandroid backup? Or i should only backup the app data with titanium?

Both the things are completely different.
Nadroid backup is used backup complete rom(system, recovery, apps, data, cache, settings).
Whereas titanium backup can only backup apps & data.
You can only restore with titanium backup after you have a working rom & titanium backup installed.
Whereas with nandroid you can restore if you have cwm recovery working.
Hit thanks if I helped!!!

But don't restore data from one ROM to a different ROM. That can mess things up.
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.
Make a nandroid backup just in case you mess something up

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.
