Your not restoring apps with cwm that is flashing the backed up rom. CWM doesn't back up apps to restore them after a flash. Use titainium back up for that

As above post said you should use Titanium backup to be able to backup your apps and restore when you want. If i was you id pay for the pro version as that makes life alot easier for you...Restores everything with the push of a button and installs them for you as well. But if you go for the free version you will have to do it one by one

[Q] Backup -- Reset to Stock -- Restore help?

I'm running stock Vibrant 2.2 from mini Kies. I have rooted and installed Titanium.
What I want to do is do a backup with Titanium, reset to stock 2.2 for some GPS testing, and then restore to my current state.
How do I do the reset?
Also I'm unclear on the restore. Will I have to root it again before I restore?
hope it helps.
Well first id make sure you have the 3e recovery set up, if you do then install the app Rom Manger off the market. flash the clockwork recovery from the app. then you can do a Nandroid back up. With this back up you can then restore to the moment the back up was made when your ready to. If you reset to full stop and remove root and all that stuff, you will need to add the root and 3e recovery again before your able to do the restore.
the link is to show you how to install the 3e recovery. And you can get a one click root prgm too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
As for the reseting to stock, you have 2 choices i can think of. You can either odin back to 2.1 then upgrade to 2.2 again, or you can use a one click root prgm to unroot your phone, then do a factory reset to it. i normally always do the the odin to have a fresh start when i want to make sure everything is in working order but thats me.
information on odin and other basic rooting help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
The main thing to remember is to always read and reread the instructions on what your going to be doing to make sure you understand it fully.
You lost me on the "your on stock 2.2, installed titanium, and now you want to restore to stock 2.2." Your already on stock 2.2...

What I meant by restore to stock 2.2 is put the phone back into the state it would be in if I took a phone straight from the factory and did a mini Kies to 2.2. Presumably that means deleting all apps I added and putting all settings back to the defaults. I would hope I would not have to reload the rom, since as you say I am running the stock 2.2 rom.
In this 'stock' state I can run some tests, and if necessary send it in for service.
However, I want to be able to quickly restore to the apps and setting as they are now.

Thanks for the detailed info. It may come to that, but couldn't I get the effect I described above with a Titanium backup?
clarification
Well with Titanium backup you can back up your apps, but thats all it saves, if you have like a lot of settings changed on your phone or ringtones set for people and stuff it doesn't help with those. But a Nandroid is a full backup of your phone down to settings phones ringtones etc. Normally i use Titanium backup when i'm going from ROM to ROM to quickly reinstall my apps, but if your doing a rest and don't want to go about re setting everything then a Nandroid is th way to go. Hopefully that clarify why i recommended it.

[Q] nandroid backup not restoring apps

I decided to try out one of the ICS ROMs today, so I did a nandroid to take a snapshot of my normal ROM setup. Normal procedure, right?
Cut to a few hours later when I try to restore my phone to its normal state using CWM. nandroid verifies the MD5 and successfully restores my phone to its pre-ICS state, but when I boot up, all my apps are gone. I get the grey Android package icon with "SD" superimposed on it for almost all my apps (including Market). When I try to launch one, an error pops up telling me the app is not installed. This persisted even when I wiped everything and re-restored from my backup. The strange thing is I have no removable SD card installed, so the apps couldn't have been moved as far as I know.
So, does anyone know what's going on here? Is this just a faulty backup or should I just cut my losses and start fresh?
Do a FULL WIPE. And try again. Report back
Done. I did a factory reset, wiped cache, and system. Didn't work—should I go the Odin route next?

Install official Samsung stock firmware then root and CWM recovery your nandroid .
jje
Try Appextractor from market. It allows you to extract apps (and more) from a nandroid backup.

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody. I managed to get things working again by Odin-ing back to stock and reflashing CWM recovery 4.0.1.4. Worked like a charm, apps included.

[Q] Problem restoring via CWM - Data

Hello, I need some help with restoring via CWM on the Galaxy S3.
On the S2 I pretty much always used CM9 and jumped back and forth between versions and backing up/ restoring was never an issue.
Now however I am using the stock ROM and its rooted of course.
I made a back up of my stock rom 'cause I wanted to try and install some stuff.
I tried installing the jelly bean transition effects but the install failed, the device felt kinda sluggish (maybe my imagination) afterwards so I decided to restore my phone. The restoring went good but the last ting that happens is that CWM says that restoring /Data failed.
I reboot my phone and I come to the first start up screen where I get to choose language and so on. Everything but photos has been deleted. I try to install CM9, and I do that without any issues. Then I trie to backup my stock backup but I get the same error message and I get back to stock setup page.
My backup is a staggering 6GB, and I read somewhere that CWM can only restore 2GB?
I've deleted that backup and done another one but that is also 6GB.
Does anyone know how to restore from that first restore or how to make future restores work?

I had this problem with my sisters Xperia X8,couldn't restore anything that i backed up.It goes for a while and stops.But she had bootloader locked.I was shore that i unlocked her bootloader but i didn't,so i unlocked bootloader,and tried to backup and restore and it worked fine.
I'm not 100% and i don't know is that the way CWM works,but i think in order to restore your data,that you backed up,you have to unlock your bootloader.But it's the best to wait someone who knows this for 100% sure.
If you haven't unlocked bootloader try that,or you don't won't to lose your warranty!?
Good luck!
I don't think that CWM has size limitation but i can be wrong.
Have you made sure that your CWM is up-to-date? if in doubt flash the latest CF-root.
was there ever a resolution to this problem? I did the same thing, rooted the galaxy s 3 and unlock the bootloader. Get a backup of my stock set up using clockwork recovery mod. Now when I try to restore, it does not restore the data. All of my apps look like they are there, but none of them are really installed. I think I can just reinstall all of the apps by hand, I would like to know how to get over this.

[q] ics, rom, flash player, fixed !!!!!!

FIXED !!! thanks
ok, ill try to make it simple, ive been working on my tab since 1pm and its 11pm and am still f*cked up
So to make a long story a short one here is what happened
Since i updated to ICS, everything was fine except for flash player not playing my videos anymore, i found a thread explaining how to fix it BUT i didnt reinstall CWM when i update so i actually did (by mistake) a complete reset on my tab (losing all datas, picture, apps etc)
I was wise enough to make a backup on sept 30 b4 i update to ICS
so i found how to re root the tab on ICS, i did it with success, install CWM with odin
then i took rom manager and restore my apps and data and this is where it got complicated
the md5 mismatch popped out, founded how to fix it using terminal emulator, did it then restore
all my apps and settings where back up except for my pictures (its okay i had them saved on my pc)
so i thought i would simply re update to ICS and my life would be great......NOT !
now i keep getting an error: system UI has stopped
went back to recovery tried to wipe everything to factory reset and start all over again,
well my tab is now reset BUT that freaking system UI error keeps coming up and i cant do nothing
the tab is reset but cwm is still installed and i can still restore from my backup so actually i guess it mean the tab is not fully reset.
more, when i plug the usb cable, it doesnt show up on my pc so i cant explore the tab manually
now i dont know what to do, i've been googling for the past 2 hours, cant find a decent solution.
All i want is toget rid of that system ui error, reset the tab and then try again to restore my old backup so i can have my apps then re update to ICS
please, am really desparate, i need help
EDIT :
i think i might have brick my tab
actually while i was waiting for a reply, i went back into Odin and flashed twrp recovery that i got from another website
then i went into recovery and tried again to wipe everythig (cache, devlak and factory reset) i was then back to honeycomb 3.1 but still getting that systemui error
then i've hit system wipe wich has wipe my rom so now my tab isnt rebooting
its stuck on the samsung galaxy tab screen
while i wait for your help, im looking around to find and set back the stock rom
i feel really dumb atm
Try re-install your rom again by using odin

If it were me I would flash stock recovery and stock Honeycomb image and then manually update to ICS using OTA's if stock rooted ICS was the goal. I would not mess with ROM manager or restore apps and data using it as it is likely where you started to get into trouble.
I have seen the system ui error message before myself and it was when I had restored all apps and data blindly over a new install of ICS using titanium. I had to reflash the ROM again and opted instead to manually install the apps after which I restored data for them individually using titanium. Its a pain to do it but the best way to ensure a stable end result. From that point on the lesson learned was to not restore all apps but just the missing ones.

thanks, after i sent that post, i finaly found the stock ICS rom for my tab and installed it,
now am back to the point where i want to restore my apps/data/pictures from my backup that i did with nandroid
thats where i need help, i still get the md5 mismatch but i know how to fix it using terminal emulator but i think the system ui problem comes up because the backup is from a honycomb 3.1 or 3.2 and now the tab is running ICS.
if i reinstall all my apps manually, do you know how i could restore my data from the nandroid backup ?
am trying to find my original 3.1 honeycomb rom but it seem that it doesnt exist on sammobile
Just manually reinstall everything and set it back up without restoring data. Otherwise you're looking for trouble in my opinion.
Just return back to original stock.

Not Rooted full backup (HELP)

Hey guys
I have a Galaxy S3, GT-I9300 with the default, non-rooted 4.3 Jelly Bean.
I saw a custom TouchWiz Galaxy S5 4.4 KitKat ROM thread and I immediately wanted to download it, but Im afraid in case I dont like it, I will have no way to get back to my old OS, so the question I want to ask is: Is there any kind of full system backup without root, or if not, is there a way to root it, backup, install the rom, and if I dont like it, reinstall the default one and unroot so I dont void warranty? Thanks.

You'll be able to go back.
I recommend backing up all your contacts, call logs, texts, apps, etc with a backup app like Go Backup, or something similar, then making sure that folder and your internal storage is copied to a PC or somewhere safe. Then you put the rom on your phone, install a custom recovery via Odin, reboot directly to recovery before it reboots to the OS (otherwise the stock system will replace the recovery with the original one and you'll have to do it again) and do a full backup of the OS and data (called a nandroid backup), then follow the install directions for the rom provided by the developer. Typically it's factory reset then install, but in some cases you will need to also wipe the system. Check the thread to see if they recommend using a different modem as many updates need the right one to make sure you have the best connection, GPS, etc.

Sorry but I lost you when you talked about installing a custom recovery via Odin and until you talked about a nandroid backup. I've installed custom ROMs on my old Galaxy Gio so Im fairly familiar with how to installing ROMs and rooting, what I dont understand is:
The part i said you lost me
How to boot into that blue and black menu (In gio it was sleep+home buttons, and in this one i dont know)
thanks

Now I'm confused...how did you flash roms and do nandroid backups on the Galaxy Gio if not via a custom recovery?
But anyway, it's always good to check out your phone forum's Stickies, especially in the General and Developer sections.

I remember vaguely that I rooted it with some zip, installed cwm recovery but before that, i only backuped SMS, CONTACTS, CALL LOGS AND APPS, not the system, thus dictating that if I wanted to go back i needed a custom rom to install. I didnt make a backup copy of the system, just the ones I said above. In this one I want to make a complete backup, preferably before I rooted it so I could go back without voiding warranty. If you have any doubts, you can PM me your skype for a faster troubleshooting, thanks

Can't back up the whole system without a custom recovery. Only the stuff you previously mentioned and some other stuff like wifi/BT connections, wallpapers, ringtones, etc.
As far as recovery, it is accessed via Home+Vol Up+Power and Download Mode is accessed by Home+Volume Down+Power.

Ok so, then I have to root it, install cwm and download the rom and install in cwm.
Suggestions on where to find the root zip file and app to backup the whole system after I root it?
If you dont mind or can help with it, a step by step on how to root it, back everything up and preparing for install would be much appreciated as im rusty from messing around with that stuff

You don't need to root to perform a nandroid backup, just have to install a custom recovery via Odin and boot to it before the system reboots as it will overwrite the custom recovery. But I already gave you a link with all the info you'll need to root, recovery, and custom rom your phone. And as I mentioned, you need to look at the Stickies in the section for your phone here on xda. I don't like to help those that don't want to help themselves first.
