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.

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??

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.

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.

Aha, so titanium does all the work? Thanks!
i forgot to perma temp root and backup all of my apks and apk data. My question is, what is the best way to restore my stock backup and backup my apks and data? or is this possible?
Unless you made a nandroid of your previous ROM you can't go back. If you had "Backup My Settings" checked in Settings>Privacy, your apps usually restore automatically, but not the data. I've always used TitaniumBackup to backup and restore my apps and data, but there are other apps out there.

I did back it up, im not that stupid. But programs like that need root, im trying to see if i can restore my old backup and install superuser to get the permissions for my backup pro?

This makes no sense.
If you are S-OFF, all you have to do is flash the superuser app after you restore your stock backup to get root back.
That's what I was getting at if I have root I can back up all my stock app data

Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?

How do I do a FULL backup of my phone with TWRP?
What do you mean by full? Kernel, rom, all that as well as contacts, apps, settings etc?

goto backup and select all the options there.. :good: This is called the Nandroid Backup.
It will backup all the settings,data and evrything you had on you mobile except your data files(images,songs)
If you only want to backup apps, go for Titanium Backup. :good:

If you use PhilZ Touch instead you have the choice via custom backup to back up everything including even external sd if you wish and even efs, radio/baseband, etc.

I would need to remove twrp, then install CWM, then philz touch?
Can I manually backup everything? Or use titanium?

PhilZ Touch already includes a specific version of CWM and will install that for you. You don't have to first remove TWRP; when you install a new recovery it overwrites it. As for whether to use Titanium Backup, that is a very good app (especially the Pro version) and it all depends on what you need to back up. Your original post indicated that you are wanting to back up everything and that you were not just talking about user apps and data. I personally use both nandroids and Titanium Backups. Nandroids are awesome for reverting back to a previous state if you mess something up while trying a new ROM (or just didn't like the new ROM). Titanium Backup Pro lets you install/migrate all of your user apps and settings to the new ROM (Pro version lets you do it in a batch action that only takes a couple minutes). Good luck!

I just want to backup all my settings and files just incase I break something. Or if I like the new Rom, I just want to transfer my apps and files over.
