Okay so maybe some one can help me here. I am trying to restore my texts via Titanium Backup, but for some reason it seems like they don't want to show up. I was thinking it could be because due to the fact the last rom I used was Blur based GB rom(from the D2 leak), and my current rom is a stock CM7 based rom, but I doubt that could be it? Before the GB I was a latest on a stock Froyo(i.e. no Blur) rom, and my text with ease showed up the Blur sms software when I moved to the GB rom. Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks
There is a program in the market called sms backup and restore. Give that a try

I fixed the issue(well the text is there but its out of order which is better than nothing I guess), by enabling migrate system data in Titanium Backup.

I have looked around and still haven't found a concrete answer to this.
What is the best way to backup and restore with Titanium Backup?
Usually, before i flash new ROMs, I will delete all backups, and then rebackup everything.
Then when I actually flash to a new one, I will restore "all missing apps + data"
Is this the best way to do things?
The reason I ask is because of some glitches I have ran into with some ROMs, specifically Axura.
I love the ROM, but whenever i restore after flashing it, the lockscreen will stay on after receiving a text message, until i turn it off manually. This is very bad for the battery if i go for a while not noticing a msg.
Any ideas?
After so many flashes its good to flash to back stock through odin. You also need to make sure to check repartition box in odin to make sure there are no skeletons in your closet. Also when restoring apps and data, only do data when going from a 2.1 rom to 2.1. Ive reaf people having problems reinstalling data from 2.1 to 2.2.
Fear the beard...
Another thing I do now that im flashing strictly 2.2 is only restore missing apps and essential system data such as email, accounts and sync settings, wifi settings, and messaging if I want to preserve my texts. Others that might be handy are phone settings and wallpaper settings this last will restore wallpaper and fonts and some other user settings. I have contacts set to sync with gmail. Im sure there's one or two I've forgotten but you get the gist of it.

I ONLY backup & user apps+data. then I use mybackup pro to back up + restore texts, call logs, bookmarks, system settings. Haven't run into any issues doing this.

Disturkis4u,
when you do this
are you flashing from 2.1 to 2.2
or
2.1 to 2.1 or 2.2 to 2.2?
I've done it for both.

i backup user apps and data before every flash. sometimes i batch delete previous backups if there are apps i no longer want/need just to clean things up so i can just run the install user apps+data without going through the list and deselecting ones i no longer want. i've also backed up accounts, wifi access points, and a couple other of the green options in system data. i've never had a problem after restoring.
Does Titanium backup restore game saves or any progress you made?
so I had a full system + app backup made in titanium while on vipers ROM. I just flashed to team XRONs ROM and then did a full restore through titanium.
My question is, is titanium smart enough to not overwrite newer version of things when restoring?
I'm basically wondering if its technically possible to restore back to an older version of sense components via a restore.

Yea it will restore the last backup, so ifs an older version that's what will be restored, you can always select uncheck what you don't want TB to restore.
I know that it won't help here but in the future, you may want to consider MyBackup Root for your backup options. You can find it in the market and it is free.
TB does the restore in batch mode relative to the last incrementally saved
backup, gives you the option to uncheck the apps you would not like to
install, which is very convenient.
I haven't had too much problem restoring backups of apps when jumping from one ROM to another. If you jump between Sense and AOSP ROMs, Titanium doesn't handle that well. With the 3D, there isn't a fully functional AOSP ROM yet, so you shouldn't have to worry about that now.
I wouldn't restore any system backups when jump from one ROM to another though. Just apps that I have downloaded from market, that's always worked for me. I don't usual restore apps that are part of the base ROM like Internet and Messaging. You may be able to do that go from one ROM to another, but you could be restoring older versions of apps.
I will have to look into MyBackup Root. Curious if it handles Sense to AOSP backup of Apps better.

I think that the Root version is free, the Pro version costs.
I used it coming over from stock rooted to viper. I unchecked everything viper's rom already had so it just imported new stuff for me (saving me at least 15 market downloads) and some other one off items and settings. Worked well. Just takes a second to dig through some times and make sure not to lay down unnecessary crap. Its also color coded for convenience.
Hi to everyone I really need help, I installed the lastest leak in my photon and yesterday I was trying to install the Alien rom, I couldn't make it load so I restored the last rom (the leak), anyway when I was restoring the apps withTitanium Backup I accidentaly restored a messaging app that I have from another phone I think I got an error in the process, the messaging app looks fine but is not sending or receiving anything it's just empty when I try to send a message , is ther any way to restore this app without havinng to pass through the long process of restorng the rom, any help will be apreciated.
I recall restoring the Dialer data SMS/MMS/APN app, app+data mode and it told me that is a system app and I selected restore anyway accidentaly, what I don't remember is if this was a backup from another phone, I think it was.
Nevermind I've restored only the system partition and works fine now

I am currently on CheckRom 6 and i want to update to an CM9 or AOKP based Rom. So which part of my backups (Titanium Backup &CMW) can be restored after the update? Nothing? Just apps? Apps & app data? SMS/MMS?
I read that there are Problems with CM9 and Titanium Backup. Does this also apply to AOKP?

You will get all your apps and data, but sms and contacts can somtimes fail restore as there are thr diffrences between diffrent roms.
Also for the CWM i am guessing that you mean nandroid backup, if so you will get all of you that. Check out my sig for a link to moving roms and backing up data.
Thanks. Yes, i meant a nandoid backup but i wanted to restore only the sms/mms via app extractor. But it is not a big deal if it does not work, sms are not that important.
For people who are interested:
My experiences for updating from CheckRom 6 to Resurrection Remix 1.8.1:
-restoring user apps with titanium backup: worked fine, no problems
-restoring sms/mms with SMS Backup & Restore (from Google Play): FC when opening sms app for the first time. Tried Go SMS and it worked fine, all old messages were there. Tried stock app a second time: works too, no more FCs.
I read the basic guide in the HTC section, and then skimmed through various threads as well..
but havent been able to get answers.
My current phone: S2 i777 (running SHOstock3 v1.7)
Old Phone: Motorola Atrix (running GB)
Titanum Backup version: Free (non pro)
I backed up my SMS from Moto Atrix.
TB shows 2 entries, both with same names: Messages 2.3.4
Both have red smiley icon next to them.
I exported the files to i777 S2 and tried to look up the concerned entries. Upon clicking Messages 2.3.4, it showed 2 options: App Only and App+Data
Now accidently i clicked upon App+Data instead of going back. TB started with the attempt and i did force closed the TB app.
The phone seems to be working fine atm.
1) Do i need to worry about anything ?
2) How to restore the SMS via the free TB version ?
(if i have missed out on the thread/discussion, do excuse me and link me up pls. I did tried to look up.)
I recommend using SMS Backup & Restore instead.

Yea. i looked up a few threads for this issue, and this sms backup app's name came up.
Thanks for confirming it :good:
Atm my main concern is that my phone's OS shouldnt have been altered/messed up by the failed sms backing up operation of Titanium Backup.
ATM it seems to be running fine and no forced closures experienced yet, but i dread something like a bootloop or other complications on rebooting or during extended usage of current session.
Any symptoms to lookout/check for the OS getting messed up ?
I was able to backup few apps successfully.. just this sms backing up has given me a scare.
Btw, i am running Shostock3 v1.7. Kernel is jeboo 1.1
The only thing that may happen is sms will close but I doubt that as you stopped it.
