I know about Titanium, just to start with.
My question is about backup files using CWM, if I install a new rom and restore my system/cache/data will the phone work normally after that?
My main goal is to keep my installed apps as they are on the new ROM, so i guess data is the only thing i need to backup by right?
Thanks in advance!
Backup system + data using titanium backup.
Also backup current rom using cwm incase anything goes wrong while flashing new rom.
After u instal new rom instal titanium backup and restore.

Why didnt titanium backup work?

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...
sorry for my bad english

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??

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!!!
Considering this thread I can't see why you were able to troll in the GingerReal thread when you don't even know as much as this.

Hi
I am about to install Villain rom 2.1 onto my GS2. As per instructions, I have backed up using the app that got installed by the cf root called CWM.
I would lose all my setting etc when I install the rom right? If I want to get it back while keeping the villain rom do i restore from CWM. And will this keep the root and the custom rom.??
Thanks. Please help. ASAP
Yes you will lose your settings, and app data, if you want to save it, use titanium backup and backup user Apps and data.
You can restore anything in white or green, but items in red will most likely cause problems
The backup you made is a nandroid backup which if you restore you will restore your whole old rom.
As far as root, cf root will auto root, and villainrom is rooted so you can just install the superuser app from the market.

You mean on the homescreens etc? Depending on the launcher, you can try backing up twlauncher and restoring it after you flash, but it may not work, so take a nandroid backup before you try.

Hello. I have made a nandroid backup with AmonRa recovery, selecting everything.
So, If I restore that backup, my phone will return exactly like it was in that moment? same kernel, same rom, same all? what about apps in sd ext and their data?
If I want to upgrade my Rom (from miks 6.5.7 to 6.5.8) and I dont wanna lost my apps+data and settings data, can I use nandroid backup for restoring data? How could I use it?
Thanks you so much, I didnt find any answer

Answering to ur question yeah nandroid backs up rom kernel + apps ..not sure about ext ! But the app will be backed up normally ..and if u want to upgrade to miks rom and need data n apps use titanium backup to batch backup all apps + data n restore it later whenever u need ..
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
If u r going from miks 6.5.7 to 6.5.8 u need not wipe anything..just flash the rom directly. All apps will be intact..

The problem is that Titanium backup wont work because I use app2sd and all apps in SD could come with problems.
so its not a sure way.
(Sorry for the wrong forum...please move it, sorry for inconvenience)
Wt? Even I use app2sd n titanium works perfectly!

Actually restoring apps works flawlesslybut the problem arises only with system data..
U can restore your data only on similar versions of the rom..say u cannot restore data from 2.3
3 LG based rom to cm7 ..however using batch backup apps on SD also get backed up and will be restored later when u restore as in normal internal memory later!

No the baseband is not backed up.so u need to flash baseband while changing from official to unofficial and vice versa.

If you are on CM 6.5.7, just flash CM 6.5.8 (don't wipe anything). And then flash dark tremor apps2sd again. All your apps will be back.

Ok, I need your advice on this one cause I am a bit confused...
Ok lets say I am using a certain rom and have installed all the apps that I want. I have done a nandroid backup in case of something goes wrong.
Now, I want to flash another rom but want the apps that I already was using to installed in the new rom also. I know that I can backup with titanium but my concern is that when I will restore them will create duplicate folders or files on sd... is that going to happen or am I talking bull?
Can someone please suggest me a procedure to safely back up apps in order to use with another rom without messing up my sd folders or create duplicate files?
Also when I'll backup my apps do I have to back them up with their data also or not?
My apps are located on sd-ext and phone, none on SD so when I will restore them will they be placed where they were before?
It doesn't create duplicates.
You can use nandroid backup or titanium backup

Hello everyone,I want to upgrade CM 10.1 but is it possible to back up my all apps or everything in phone now.After I jump CM I want to use my phone like previous.As short as I dont want to loose my info.Thanks.
Titanium backup for your apps and data, sms backup for your texts. Sync contacts to google, call log, there's an app for that as well but can't remeber the name.
Stuff on the external sd can be left as it is, make sure you back up any photos etc from your internal sd.
Wipe everything when you're installing cm and everything should be there
