i tried to take a stock rom(KG5) and take everything out of it.
by everything i mean to take everything im not using(from the stock rom-which is the most[prefer a lot of 3rd party apps])
when i flashed it without all these things i automatically restored data from the CMW backup i did.
the result is wicked!! but...
here is my qustion:
what kind of apps the restore data actually restore. i know it restored the launcher im using(because i eraced the TW LAUNCHER from the CMW file)and my other apps but does it restore all of the samsung apps?samsung APK's?
i figure its not because going to SYSTEM\APPS shows no sing of the other APK but i might be wrong.
i wanted to share it with other people but i figured that if it restore other APK or SAMSUNG apps it's useless. does it?
thanks for the help.
I would think when you do a backup in CWM it will back up exactly what you have on the phone at the time.
If you flash a new rom then restore from CWM, all you are going to do is write over your new rom and replace whatever was on your phone at the time you made your backup.
you didnt understood.
i ment that i did advanced restore---restore data and not a whole restore option(or restore system option).
i did changed the rom,kernel and modem(it didnt restore it from the old backup) but im not sure about the actual system files
I am also interested in this so i dont make another thread on the subject.
So using CWM restore,what does restore data and restore system actually restore .
Thx for your time.
data restore restores your /data partition
It is all user apps that you have installed and most settings.
System restore restores all apps that is preinstalled on the phone/in the rom that you have backed up.
So if you flash another rom, and then only restore data in advaced restore you will only restore your own apps from market or manually installed.
So i will get my own apps back and the settings i had before .
Thx alot man.
Not all settings, but all your app settings.
Most system settings are stored under /system
Like wifi, apn and stuff like that.
Hello,
This has been discussed in the past but a) it a long time time ago, so maybe newer tools are out and b) no definite conclusion was drawn, so please can I ask again, what's the easiest way to back up all apps, data and settings (idealy including home screen settings, ringtones, everything) to survive a superwipe (i.e. restore it after a super wipe and new ROM version installation)?
Thanks in advance.
Use CWM Recovery to do a complete backup. Very easy to backup and restore.

But restoring a CWM backup will overwrite the new system with the old one. What I want is backup all data, apps and settings but not the system data. And then restore them after I install the new ROM.
ok here is my situation. im stuck with hughesnet and have a data plan of 10gb. i want to change my rom and want to backup all my apps and app data (ABOUT 6 GB) so i wont have to download anything once i get a new rom installed. if i backup the data option in twrp recovery will that keep my app apk's and their data? and once i change my rom and restore the data backup, will that mess up the rom?
Or should i use something else like titanium backup?
doing either way will work. The only thing you will really run into is if going from one rom to a diffreent rom and ty to replace the system apps.
It backups the whole system and data partition into separate files ...so as long as you are moving from same rom type to another like sense to sense or aosp to aosp ... Just flash new rom then restore only the data partition and you are good to go

thanks for the info, i used titanium and backed up the user apps which also included the user app data, i dont need the system apps
Hey, everytime I want to flash a new ROM or even new version of the same ROM,
I like to clear everything beforehand and factory reset my device.
The issue is everytime I do that I have to download all my apps again and configure the device all over again (apps & phone settings) .
I need some guide about backing up the maximum data possible (settings and applications) while still keeping the new flash as clean as possible.
I own Titanium paid version.
Thanks a lot!
if u have titanium backup than all you need to do is backup all your user apps + data. then when flashing a new rom you can rather manually wipe the phone through recovery. in twrp you can go to wipe and then advanced wipe and choose Cache,Dalvik,Data and System..DONOT choose internel storage else youll wipe everything even ur media and backups.
in titanium you can create titanium backup as a zip file for you to flash, so create that.after flashing a new rom flash the titanium backup as well, so as soon as your phone is up and running you can go straight to titanium backup batch actions and restore all user apps and data. you wouldnt need to download your apps again.
hope it makes sense and helps
Hello everyone,
Can I ask how do I exclude all sensitive data when I perform nandroid backup of the system and data partition of my phone using the latest TWRP recovery v3.1.1-0?

There really isn't a way... What I would do is backup system and data, then copy all data apps you want included to the sdcard. Then factory reset. (To remove sensitive info) Skip thru the setup wizard, enable unknown sources, then backdoor the apps. (Still with no google account tied to the phone)
Next make a new backup of system and data for whoever you're sharing this with...then restore your original backup so everything is back the way you had it.

If you plan on sharing it. Don't. Nandroid backups also back up stuff that is device dependent. Many devices have been bricked because they restored a Nandroid from another device. Even if it is the same model.
