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 ?

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

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?
Hi after searching I wasnt able to find an answer to this.
I am using Titanium Pro Backup, Go SMS backups, and ADW EX backups.
However after installing new ROMS (usually the CM7 Nightlies) I still have to enter in all my email accounts, widgets, App Drawer Categores, and a few other minor things.
Is there such a thing as a complete restore of my settings without reverting to the previous ROM?
I am sure I have missed something out there that does this?
Thanks
are the nightly full ROM wipes or are you wiping yourself, if they are not then dont wipe.
However you should be able to restore stuff like email accounts by restoring the email client data, just find your client in titanium and click restore, make sure you just restore the data. Note however, I find titanium a bit wobbly with email settings, i have often have force closes so I try never to wipe data with updates.

if you are using social hub for your email clients then for some reason data stored for social hub cannot be restored fully. using titanium backup if you restore data for email.apk and social hub.apk it only restores imap email accounts such as Aol and gmail only. for some reason it does not restore hotmail and yahoo email accounts.

it has restored mine in the past I believe, although I haven't had to do this for a while so I could be mistaken.
Thanks very much for the replies. Didnt realize I didnt need to wipe data for the nightlies. Makes life much easier now.
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
Phone: samsung galaxy SII
Rom: checkrom revohd v4
Kernel: Syiah 2.6.35.14
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.

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.

Hey guys,
Basically exactly what the title says. How do I transfer my person data (i.e. text messages, contacts, memos) from a Samsung stock ROM (4.04) to a AOKP/SP ROM? When I've tried with titanium backup it hasn't worked because the apps aren't the same and so don't have compatible data storage systems.
I understand that my contacts can be sychned to my Google account and transferred like that but even so I would still like a more concret way and a way to transfer my other data (texts, call log etc).
Thanks.

For my text messages and call logs I use SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore. Both work and are available on the play store for free and I have never had any problems with them. For the contacts I just sync it to my google account, I have found that this is the easiest way to keep track of them.
If you want to use titanium backup to backup your texts and call log, use the option backup data to XML format.
