I am in the middle of trying out new Roms, like omega and AOKP, etc, one thins that bugs me is having to type in my username and password for skype/fb/samsung login, etc. i have about 9-11 different logins all of which have to be input everytime i wipe and load a rom.
I have Titanium BAckup so wondered if i can just restore this specific information. I dont do a full restore just in case it interfered with the apps, i dont mind downloading apps again or losing messages , but would just like to restore the saved password list. on the S3 go to Settings- Personal section - Accounts & Sync.
I tried restoring a "Keys" file before but this had no effect unfortunately
I'd like to know if there's a way to backup and restore all your configured sync accounts within JB.
I find it very annoying to have to redo each one after every flash.
Unfortunately TitaniumBackup doesn't work well for this anymore
I'm guessing everyone here enjoys having to type in 8-10 different account passwords every time they update or flash a new ROM
Titanium fixed their account backups for JB
I had official 4.1.2 jellybean and i backed up contacts with titanium. I put cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and was trying to restore contacts but after i restore i get error message "android.process.acore" all the time. I did factory reset and error was gone but my question is how to restore contacts without having that error??

It's because you can't restore a system app (ie contacts, the phone app, messaging app etc) from ROM to ROM, if the ROM itself is different to the last one you made the backup on. So the end result of what you'll have to do is sync your contacts to your google account. Then when you sign in to your google account on the new ROM, your contacts will sync to the new ROM. At least that's how I do it.
As far as getting your contacts back, if you had a nandroid backup of your system before flashing CM, just restore that and sync your contacts to your gmail account. Go back to your CM nandroid (assuming you have one, if not make one before starting this process) and sync your contacts down from your google account.
If you didn't make a nandroid of your stock setup before flashing CM, then re-flash the stock ROM you were on previously using Odin or Mobile Odin. Now you should be able to restore the Titanium backup of your contacts app (yes, the app itself) successfully onto the stock ROM. From this restored app, sync your contacts. Then go back to CM and sign in, voile, contacts have synced.

Nope. As Hopper said, restoring via Ti restores the app itself (plus the data obviously) and that won't work from Android version to Android version (or framework to framework - I.E TouchWiz to AOSP & VV). His suggestion should take all of 15 minutes.
tnx for your tips

Hey all,
I've used the beautiful Titanium Backup tool to restore Accounts & Sync numerous times on my old HTC Desire S. It ran Android 4.0.4.
I've recently upgraded to a Xperia Z1 (Android 4.4 rooted) and after attempting to restore the backup from the older device, it doesn't seem to do anything.
Is there any way I can restore my old accounts to my new phone? I have quite a few different email accounts and I've forgotten some of the passwords, it'd be great to be able to restore them on my new phone.
Cheers all,
Djstanley.
Hello,
I recently was messing around with the firmware on my Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 (SM-A310F). I tried to install the Xposed Framework, but i failed to do it, and my phone did a complete factory reset and wiped all the internal data. I made a backup before (using Titanium Backup Pro) but that backup is also gone (don't ask me how). So, i had Facebook Messenger installed on my device. (I don't have Facebook, so i use facebook messenger without a facebook account.) So my question is, is it able to retrieve all the data inside my Facebook Messenger (contacts en chats)?
Yes ofcourse messenger will retriev all data because it runs on server
hit thanks if i helped u
