Hi
Do you need to full wipe data if you are are on stable CM7 to go the nightlies, because my mate is on stable he wants to go to the nightly but he didn't save his contacts on google account, he saved on phone. Can someone suggest me a program how to make a nice backup for contacts.
Thanks

You can move from stable to nightlys without a wipe in theory, make sure to take backups.

Nandroid for the whole system, titanium backup for system/user apps and data.
Sms backup+ for sms and call log (syncs to gmail account, other programs may sync locally).
You can export contacts to sdcard (I think).

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?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
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
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
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.

Ya I know but all the good stuff is in the pro Version though. Frost time that am planning to use one have gotten addicted to flashing an trying new roms just hate reinstalling all my important apps. Such a pain.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
The important stuff is free in titanium, but the pro version adds enough goodies to be worth it.

Go backup is quite the beast. I would still use tibu for uninstalling system apps but go backup does everything tjbu does in a cleaner way

I'm going to try go backup based on this haha. you better pray it works!
I see what you mean by cleaner. GO Backup is very simple
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

It might be a bit late but save your picture mail (if you have any) because the sms backup Danny recommended (that I also use myself ironically enough lol) doesn't backup mms

You should also consider using an alternate SMS app like Go SMS with build in backup function.

Ill use titanium backup and then copy files to my PC for safety, its best way for me (if sdcard will be damaged u still have backup on PC)
With all the new roms coming out because of all the amazing developers, what backup apps are you all using? I feel like I'm switching roms every other day and getting real sick of losing all my texts and apps.
So what backup apps are you using and why?
Thanks for your responses in advance!

Most people on android use titanium backup if rooted. The backup app called 'helium' is nice also but TiB is the best out.

The guys in tranquil recommend using TiBU for apps and HTC backup for settings. Also, the messaging app in a lot of ROMs have built-in backups, or you can use a third party app to do this + contacts.
Titanium backup is the best back up for apps and app data. For texts I use go sms to back them up. And for contacts just sync then with Google and they will restore when you sign in on the new rom.
