Edit: only flashable zip files, not backups
I think that will only work for flashable zip files, not backups.

Can you rename a Nandroid backup? With so many ROM's out there, I want to try different ones but there is no way I will remember which backup is what unless I can rename them.
The short answer seems to be: yes. I'm only Googling this, so I can't verify.
I believe you can rename any backup, just don't put spaces in the backup name.
I've renamed backups with Amon RA recovery on the OG EVO and now with ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 on the EVO 3D.
Creating and restoring those backups went flawlessly.
Yes, you can rename it to whatever you like since you are going to manually select the file anyhow. The system won't balk at your renaming of the file. Keeping spaces out is always good, seen problems with this is in the past.
Thanks guys.

In Rom Manager there should be a option to Manage Backups then Rename the backup!

You can rename backups, very easily with any file explorer.....If you are using Team Win's recovery navigate to; /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HTXXXXXX/"your backups are here...rename them"

The reason I Recommended doing it through Rom Manager is because for whatever reason... whenever I tried doing it through a FileExplorer it seemed to Always say there was a Md5 Mismatch of some sort! Through Rom Manager I Always have more Success!
Hello Everyone!!!
I have samsung galalxy pop/mini gts5570 running Cyanogenmod 7 with Clock work mod recovery. I just wanted to know is there a way to make my own flashable zip file containing all the mostly needed & used application. Since, I have to manually install each app after upgrading or changing my rom, i just though why not install them from a single zip file.
So, anyone can you help me in making my own flashable zip file. Please provide me the directory structure of the file, i will pack the apks myself ... Or if there is any other way to do so plz tell me ...
Thank YOu!!!

I know it can be done with titanium but it is also cumbersome selecting apps and then reinstalling ...
I want to flash them at once from cwm 4.0.0.5 recovery...

Gotcha. The ROM I'm using allows users to customize many of the apps that are installed during flash... even allows us to install our own personal set of apps. This is done with a text doc on the SD card. I know you said you wanted to flash through recovery, but it's sorta the same idea.
Man why don't ya use the batch option in TB and by that option u can backup / restore all your apps in one click to use batch use menu button

I know titanium has batch option that can do it. But I wanted make zip so that I can flash it in CWM recovery this way my files will be organized in one place and it will be fast too.
You can try using app2zip.
using titanium backup pro
I already using titanium back up pro..look optoion,,and make flashable zip..and when it finish the file name is update.zip.. now U just flash your own app+data
I recently just tried to restore one of my backups of a different rom and got an MD5 mismatch error. I understand that that can come from errors during a download of a rom but why would I get that error now? Could it be because I renamed the file after it was backed up? Thanks in advance....

If your file name has spaces in it, it may cause the MD5 mismatch error.
Or the backup was moved to a pc then moved back to the phone. Windows adds a few bytes to a file so the sum is a little different.

I hate windows....it bites! I mean ":cyclops:bytes"
I did it all on my phone using a file manager. So if I change the name to something without spaces it should be fine?

I had the same problem the other day - a known good backup wouldn't install. After much searching and asking I ended up considering the backup scrapped and moved on. Then the next day I tried again and it worked fine.
Do you have another backup?
Did you change the name of the backup?

I have had this issue since I like to store my older nandroids on my Win 7 PC. Do you know of any way to identify or remove the extra bytes? It would have to be after the file is transferred back to the Note I imagine.
Your should try renaming your file.

Hi
if you did your backup using CWM and you renamed it after doing the backup I suggest you use "." instead of spaces; example if you rename it "CM9 ROM" try "CM9.ROM" or if you backup your stock rom and rename it "stock android rom" tried "stock.android.rom"
Cheers from DFW
Ok well I did that and I thought it would fix the problem but now I keep getting this error message in my recovery. Got it when I tried to reflash the recovery that I properly named and then again when I tried to flash on PA's 4.1 CM10. What in the heck does this mean??

I think that means that your version of CWM is not compatible with the zip you're trying to flash.

Aw man. Well I just had the newest version but reverted back to 5.5.0.4 because it game me a lot of issues. Strange but I also got the same error when I tried to restore from that one backup.

I could be wrong, I don't know for sure.
But, you could see what recovery other people are using in the ROM thread.
I copy my backups from SD to computer and back and have run into this issue. I followed the instructions in this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114 and it fixed the MD5 mismatch issue. I guess these commands "clean" the backup of whatever windows does to it when copied. Worked like a charm! Also, I always change my backup names and am sure not to leave spaces. This works even if the name is not what CWR generated.
Bigjoe, can you please add this to your Super Everything page -- probably in the CWM section? Thank you.

Use an older version of clockwork recovery (5.5.x or touch 6.1) and they create a single zip, latest clockwork did offer an option to change the way it backups last time I checked also.

I tried to use zip from CWM but it doesn't seem to do the full nandroid backup. Any ideas?

It created the zip file and some other files in the folder, however the size is too small to be the recovery image. I doesn't create the full image. Still doesnt work. Is there a way to create a full nandroid backup into a single file with all the settings as it is done in normal cwr backup? Any help appreciated.

Just change default backup to tar then backup as normal that should work.

Creating tar recovery results in multiple files in recovery folder not a single zip file. My question was is there a way to create a single zip file that can be flashed in recovery as a custom rom.
I use the older version of cwm which creates full nandroid into 5 or so files. I then zip it into one but you have to unzip it to restore it. I don't think there is a clean way to create one full flashable nandroid with all your data and settings etc... I would also like to know if there is a way.

The same thing for me, searched for forums and no success. Thank you for your answer. Perhaps you could also know if there is any possible way to install stock samsung bootanimation on CM10 rom?

Not on CM10 they might have different locations for there boot image not sure.
In regards to the Nandroid I was just thinking about it actually and I find it quite strange as to why after ALL this time there isnt a way to create a FULL nandroid with apps,settings,themes,data.contacts, EVERYTHING all in the one file so its flashable. I mean it wouldnt be that hrd for the dev to do it as there is an option for the update zip. I really dont get it. Wouldnt everyone prefer it that way?

I fully agree, it would have been much easier for testers to get back to the rom they tuned and customized. Any ideas are always welcome.
Yes. It will be very easy to keep the backups if we could make a signal zip file. so we can name it with date and keep.
Does anyone know if making a zip file with Titanium Backup work with the new partition layout?

Of course. TB has nothing to do with the layout. It is installed to /data. The phone determines where that is located. I still use the same zip that I was using on the old format.
