I'm using CWM 4.0.0.4, and Nandroid. I've created a backup using Nandroid on one Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi. Is this as simple as dragging the folder from the backups directory to the new Tab's backup directory and restoring it? Both tablets are the same exact model - but one came with Touchwiz and the other didn't.
I did this with my LTE Tab when I found a stuck pixel on the screen and had to return it. I haven't experienced too many problems, although I am having some problems with the browser's Chrome sync. However, I can't say if this is due to restoring on a new device or not. Obviously, I can't really speak to the viability of this on the WiFi version.

So I've seen this question in other forums but just not here on Galaxy 10.1 Tab Forums yet. Here's the deal...
If possible what app can I use to backup my homescreen settings (I've spent a lot of time on one recently)? I have Titanium Backup, but will that do the trick for this? Should I look at a different backup utility such as SGS?
Thanks as always for the help guys!
I take it no one has had success backing up their homescreen yet?
Your homescreen is the Launcher2.apk app. Backing it up via Titanium Backup will backup the current layout and how you have everything set up.
HOWEVER, due to an Android limitation, it will not backup any widget placement/settings you have. There is no way around that unfortunately.
Your best bet is to make a nandroid backup via CWM and then restore that if need be. Of course that would be a complete restoration of everything but it's the only way to back it all up.
Don't know of any way to do this. I know with Launcher Pro you can backup screens and settings, but widgets are never saved.
Hey guys, I just got my S3 yesterday. I encountered some problems and I think should be no one met this problem, hope some of you can help me.
Previously I was using SGS, and I rooted and flashed a custom rom which is this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442169&highlight=doc+s+rom
So, I did Titanium Backup and GO backup (for spare) on SGS. On S3, I rooted it for installing Titanium Backup, I copied the Titanium Backup files and move it all into my S3 through PC.
Both devices running on same android version 4.0.4, SGS is on custom rom but S3 is still on stock rom. At first I think my files on SGS can be transfer and backup on S3, but eventually I did all the backups, but all the apps (only user apps) are still cannot open, such as LINE, Talkbox, Whatsapp and etc. Open the app and it will close it automatically.
And also, some of the apps such as LINE needs to register with the phone number. Previously I registered on SGS, now my number transfer to S3 and LINE cannot be open in SGS anymore. When I backup in S3 and it ask me to register with phone number, and I did, but it became a new app, no chat history, no added friends.Is it because I register on S3 and so my SGS does not recognize the LINE app?
What I concerned about is the chat history, I need it so much. Everytime I flashed a new custom rom, I did the backups on SGS, from GB 2.3.3 until ICS 4.0.4, and the backups are works. But this time, I really cannot figure out what problem I am having now.
I still using the same number, from a normal SIM to micro SIM,
1. Is it because does not working to transfer file from different devices?
2. Is it because my number use on a new device, and all the previous data cannot be transfer?
Any kind soul please give me some guidance?
I really NEED to transfer the old chat history into my S3, I don't want to lose it because it is my memories.
generally its not advisable to restore a backup of one device to another device, but as you said its working for you earlier. try restoring the apps alone in TB and later restore the data of the specific apps you need.

Thanks for reply. Yes is working only in SGS.I tried restoring the app alone in TB and restore the data of the specific app in S3, and is still not working. It still close automatically.
Does anyone knows how to restore a backup from one device to another device?
Or maybe I transfer back my number to my SGS, and everything will be same as before?
As the title suggests, on my 10.1 whenever I go to make a CWM backup of my ROM or backup my apps using Titanium Backup, my tablet hard locks. I'm not exactly sure what's going on here and am keen to get it sorted out. It's like it accesses a certain part of the storage which may be corrupted and hangs the device. I'm currently running CM10.1 nightlies and can update them without a problem.
Anybody have any insight/suggestions?
Hello people and geeks,
I just got a new phone, Galaxy S4, and I did a Titanium Backup (pro) on my two years old phone, Galaxy S2 (CM 10.2).
So I put the sdcard from S2 to the S4 and I was about to restore the backup when my girlfriend invited me to go to a craft brewery local festival. Then we went there and drank a lot of the best quality beers that I tasted in my life. :silly:
When I came back home, there was my brand new S4 phone waiting me to restore Titanium Backup from ssdcard.
I can't remember very well, because I was pretty much drunk, but I did the restore.
To short the story, I ended up with a inoperable phone, showing error messages every second after boot up. To solve it I did a factory reset and installed Samsung's stock ROM.
Now the phone don't show errors anymore and seems to be working well, as would be expected.
Here it goes where I need your help, mates:
The apps menu on S4 is showing system apps restored from S2. Yes, by mistake I restored system apps from Titanium Backup.
Even after factory reset (from TWRP) and formating the /system and install stock ROM again, there are some apps from my old S2, I can't get rid them and don't know what to do.
What I can do to get the S4 back exactly to factory default?
There is any way from this system apps are being installed from SIM?
What the repartition feature from Odin does? It can be useful to my case?
Thank you in advance!
It's a very bad time when you are not using WhatsApp. The thing is I was using s3 with root and many more. And I always use to take backup with titanium application. I took WhatsApp backup in my s3. Unfortunately in last week my s3 gets wet and now it won't work. But I have that backup file in my sdcard. Yesterday I bought galaxy a5 which I don't want root ri8 now. The main problem is I want restore my WhatsApp data. Because I was using my wp on my very old number and now I couldn't able to do verification of wp again. So I had this problem many time but now because of new phone it's very difficult to restore because tb ask for root access. I want to use my wp on my old number so please help me. Hw can I restore my tb data in my new phone which is not yet root..?
I have no full solution, but just an idea. In your TitaniumBackup folder, you should find a tar.gz file with the name of the WhatsApp apk. In there, you should find a data folder and then a /. folder, in which there should be the actual data used by WhatsApp. Then, if your new device accepts that, you should be able to push with adb these files and folders to the new data folder of your new installatation of WhatsApp.
I have never tested anything like that, so I don't take any responsibility, but it is an idea based on Helium from Clockworkmod which uses this trick.
