Just backup TWLauncher and everything else that starts with "TWLauncher" in Titanium Backup. When restoring, first restore everything else and then restore the TWLauncher stuff. This way even widgets should be restored.

[Q] quick question

Before i install a new ROM, if I factory data reset or wipe data and cache n everything from the recovery screen, will I still have Titanium Backup so i can restore my apps?

Nope, but if you bought it from the market you can redownload it without having to pay again. Just keep in mind doing a full wipe can wipe your backup folder too. Best to sync it to dropbox through titanium backup or back it up to a pc or external sdcard.

Is that the right thing to do if your going from 1 rom to another? I just don't want old files and data taking up memory/space

Yes its the right thing to do its what everyone that uses it does

cool thanks, I moved the backup folder to my external sd, that fixes that right? Now i can just wipe everything rite? Btw after I'm done and restoring in TiBu can i goto batch, restore all apps + system data? Or will the system data mess with the custom rom?

As long as you don't wipe external card you'll be ok. I'd remove it from the card just to be sure. Don't want to risk losing everything.
Usually you won't restore system data. The only time you'd do that is if you're reflashing the exact same rom. You'll only want to batch restore all apps and data.
Should be all good to go.

Indeed. I recommend keeping up on everything entropy512 is doing. Hands down he's helping this phone out the most.

I would also love to have a way to restore apps and folders the way I arranged them. I
Which launcher you are using?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Titanium does it.
TB does NOT back up layout.
Use Nandroid backup to restore data only .
But you may find some apps fc or do not work.

Batch App installer

I would be surprised if this wasn't already created but has anyone thought of a App that would work with google plays application list to install multiple apps at once? I think this would be Genius especially for those that fresh install a ROM every 3-4 updates. I find myself spending about an hour just installing all of my applications again.
I use titanium backup for that

Does it backup the data to the SD card? Because if you wipe everything on the phone, essentilay the app data from titanium would get removed as well and then your screwed again ahhaa

Yeah you can back up app and data then restore just the app or app with data

I prefer ROM Toolbox(i use paid pro version) over Titanium Backup.

Backup Defaults

Does anyone know if there is a way to backup your default choices? For example on loading a new Rom, even after restoring settings from titanium I still have to choose the default browser etc etc. Could there be a build.prop maybe? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
