if i upgrade to a different rom will titanium backup or w.e keep its backups?
Yes, but make sure you don't format the SD card. Please note restoring system data between different ROMs is not recommended at all!
Also, you might want to use the dropbox sync feature just in case the SD card fails.
So i cud just flash a diff rom without sd card in? N android n htc recomend cyanogen n support new roms they say just be carefull

You can keep it in, just don't format it explicitly.
Once you wipe (everything except SD card) and install a new rom, you can download Titanium Backup from market and restore user (not system) apps. They should be there since the backups are on the SD card.

Am sure this has been answered but couldn't seem to find an answer So if it has provide the link please...
Anyway Am still using the 2gig sd card that my hero came with but wish to use a bigger card..The only issue is I use App2sd card... On WinMo there was never an issue you simply just copied all the data over to the new card a hey presto it worked. But with android it does seem that simply(nothing ever is) when using Apps2sd because of the dam partitions.. So my question is this how do I move EVERY THING over to a new sd card inc the partitions and the data within them???? I doin't wish to have to reinstall 300+ apps noiw that I have the phone after 2months FINALLY working properly..
regards
Lohtse

After restoring my phone from being soft bricked, i try to install an app and it says there isnt enough free memory. My SD cards dont have anything on them besides what it needs to run the stock programs.
Any suggestions?

Here is what I would do. Dowload titanium backup,
Install Rom manager,
Backup your SD card
create EXT2 partition >> This will format your SD card
Then use restore missing apps option in titanium backup to reinstall all your apps.
Doing this will enable your phone to use SD card to store apps. Rejoice

Fack ! I really wish I knew how to do wat u jus typed!!
I want to backup my ROM before (finally!!) flashing CM9. But I'm a little short on space on my ext. SD card and I'm insterested about one thing. If it backups just the basic operating system, I have no problem with that... But if it backups OS together with all of the apps(from the market ofc), then I have a problem...
I hope I'll get an answer soon...
You should always have a full nandroid backup before flashing another rom. Things can and do go wrong. Saying that, you can do an advanced backup and just backup what you need. Alternatively you can use TB and just backup your apps.

It backs up everything including apps. If you just need the system data, you might just reflash the old ROM

I'd rather revive my old thread rather than starting a new one.
I just wanna know if NandBackup erases Int or Ext sd card contents? Usually I'd go the safest way possible by backing up to a blank sd card, but currently I dont have one.

Nand doesn't erase anything. It just backs up everything. I have restored about twice and its no problem.

Hi, this is a dumb question, but I want to do a clean install of Jellybeans 14 (or 15 when it's released).
After the install, is it advisable to restore apps/settings through Titanium backup or a similar application? Or do you guys reinstall all apps from Google Play and reset all settings manually instead and start fresh?
Thanks!
A lot of people do it both ways.
I personally use Tibu but only restore the apps. There were a few apps I used to restore data with the apps and after having bugs with those apps I just decided to use Tibu to install the apps without data. I do have a separate backup folder that has full app and data backup just in case I would ever need them.
Most people recommended using Tibu to restore apps only but each phone is different and you may have no issues when restoring apps + data.

I usually restore data on games and a few other apps that are difficult or time consuming to set up. Otherwise, I just restore apps.
Thanks everyone!
I have a couple more questions:
Do I have to install a ROM downloaded into the external SD card, or should it be installed off internal memory?
If I do SD Swap, which directory should I download the ROM into?
Thanks!

I always put the ROM I am flashing onto my external SD but thats just cause I have more room there and like to keep a few different roms. As for SD swap the only thing I know about it is that it absolutely will not work on AOSP ROMS, but for flashing I dont think it will affect anything. I could be wrong though.

I have an S3 with Omega v42/4.1.2 and a 64 gb SD card which is almost full (the SD card is tricked into thinking it is the main memory so that I can install all apps to that).
I would like to upgrade to Omega v46/4.2.2 but I want to capture an 100% backup of everything just in case.
Is that possible? (when I reboot into recovery and do backup it only spits out a 2-3GB file).
Before I give suggestions, i'd like you to answer a practical question if you'll indulge me.
If you were to backup a 64 GB sdcard via recovery, where would the backup go?
Its also worth pointing out that the "swap" you're using now cannot work on 4.2 roms at all.
Best bet is to titanium backup apps and app data, nandroid backup then copy everything from your removable card to pc.

Good point. Just thought there is a way to dump it directly to the PC via usb.
So on 4.2 you can ONLY install apps to the phone memory and not trick it into thinking the card is the main memory?
Correct. You can use folder mount though
