+1 for TiBU. Contacts should be backed up to Google.

Hi Folks
I used Titanium backup to backup my apps and stuff but it can never restore my contacts or any text messages. Even though it says that it has restored the data.
I cna restore games and other stuff no probs but the 2 most important things in a phone cannot be restored.
Anyone got any tips on how to get it to work?
Cheers
Kenny
I dont think Titanium backs up contacts or texts. Use sms backup and restore from the market to backup your texts. As for contacts, sync them to your gmail account and they will automatically be downloaded if the google servers see they are missing, like when you install a new rom for example
That, or use the Contacts Import / Export option from within the Contacts/People App. Works flawlessly everytime.
Thanks for the info folks!
Hi guys,
How do you ensure smooth replacement of apps, data (contacts, call logs, messages, home screen etc) when you have to wipe data in order to try new ROMs?
I have tried using Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro; but found that it was cumbersome and also some apps were missing and some of my contacts had duplicated onto Gmail?
What technique do you follow when trying out new ROMs?
i'm using titanium backup for "user apps" and gmail for contacts backup. that's all

(Besides from nandroid backup for total fail cases. )
Thanks, guys.
So can you get your phone back to the customized routine self (with merged contacts of fb and twitter to gmail contacts & your customized homescreen settings and all) in a jiffy using Titanium Backup or any other technique for it?
Hey guys. Witch app does an automatic backup and restore of all my contacts and apps without me having to do it one by one?
Tks in advance

Titanium Pro for apps. You should be able to export your contacts to your external SD card (or SIM) from the contacts app included with whatever rom you're using.
I Use Mybackup Pro for all my SMS, MMS, call log. For contacts they are all stored with google overlords. Apps i use Titaniumbackup
For Contacts I just let it sync in Google's cloud. It syncs automatically and is fast.
For apps, Titanium Pro Backup
For ROM, nandroid backup in CWM recovery (Y)
You can do everything with a google account. Go to privacy and backup everything in settings. It auto installs from market. Pretty good.except sms
I agree with the majority of the above - Titanium (pro) for apps and Google for contacts.
Since the poster above mentioned SMS, I'll take this opportunity to push the BRILLIANT SMS Backup+. It creates a backup of all your SMS (stored and automatically when new ones come in) and saves them in a folder (label) in your gmail account. You can also restore them whenever you need, which is perfect for flashaholics.
Get. It. Now.

With you on that.
Hi, I just rooted my HTC Inspire. Is there any way that I can transfer all my data (contacts, apps, app data, texts etc.) to a flashed rom? For example if I wanted to clash MIUI, it deletes ALL of the data. Thanks!

mybackuppro available on the market. I'm not sure exactly everything it backs up, but you can look into it.
Titanium Backup should make the job too.
For the texts I use SMS Backup & Restore, wich is very handy and efficient!
And for your contacts : Aren't they automatically synchronized with your google account ?
Is there an app or a simple method to backup my SMS inbox, contacts and evrything so that I.can restore it after doing a full wipe? Planning on changing roms tonight and was wondering..

try my backup root from play store
Get to grips with TitaniumBackup, essential app for rooting and flashing custom roms. It'll backup and restore all your messages, wifi data, call logs (a bit temperamental though with call logs) and bookmarks etc. Very quick aswel.
I'd recommend syncing contact and calendar information with your Google account though and not restoring those with backups.
Also consider mybackup pro, for backing up SMS and logs.

I am now also using Titanium Backup Pro it is amazing and recover all user apps or even system data ... I wonder if there is any option to delete backuped system data and leave only apps ...
I use mybackup pro and it backs up everything, apks, data, texts, pictures, everything.
It's a thing of beauty.
