Hi,
I'm maybe migrating from a white to a blue sgs3, is it possible to do a Nandroid backup on the white, move the sd card with the backup to the blue and restore to the blue sgs3?
Would I run into problems with imei nr? Or anything else?
Thx

Or you can do Titanium backup of all the apps+system and then restore on your phone. I did it from my LG O3D to SIII w/o issues, except for some incompatible apps.

I use GO-LAUNCHER EX > and every thing is cool....The best there is!
but every time I change a Rom > after I Restore screen configuration >> the widgets are Not included , and I have to reinstall them one by one
Is there a way to backup/Restore the screen widgets???

No, it's an android limitation that widgets and locations can't be backed up and restored, that we hope will be fixed with ics

Not possible to Restore after flashing a new ROM but with Desk Migrate you can copy widgets from this launcher to that.
What about using Titanium backup and back up both the app and the data? It might work

Titanium backup restores the settings but you only get an error loading widget where the widget used to be.

Go Backup & Restore claims to have the feature, but it's buggy and doesn't always work half the time ya get the same "Problem Loading Widget Error" I've tried everything from copying my existing Go Launcher folder to my sd card and restoring it upon new rom install and it only worked one time then never worked again.
And you necroed a 2yr+ old thread to say that, eh (which everybody worked out around the time that thread was created) ?
Hi after Installing a new rom when I go to restore apps and data with titanium, I keep getting error messages at the end for example messaging not responding, Contacts not responding, process.acore error message etc so I have to restore back to previous rom wot could be causing this? Thanks

installing apps shouldn't cause problems
I think it's when I restore the data that's causing the problems? Any ideas? I cheerz

Do not restore system app only their data.3rd party u can restore apps + data.if an app fc's or acts weird then clear it's data in appmanager.

Well, don't do that. As has already been said, only restore system data. I personally would reinstall the apps and then restore the data.
Please realize that CM9 is not Samsung based like Omega V18.
Hi all,
Is there a way to backup the Sense Launcher Icons/Folder/Widgets besides using another launcher like Go, Nova, or Apex?
I found a post somewhere that says to backup "launcher.db" in /Data/Data/com.android.launcher/databases but I could not find com.android.launcher/databases on the ROM i've installed.
I hate having to redo my icons/folders/widgets when installing a ROM and having to do a full wipe.
I have Titanium Backup but I've read from some posts that suggests not using it for this purpose.
Thanks for any suggestion..
I can't confirm if backing up the data base will work but I know that e.s. file explorer will get you there. Install it give it root permissions and go back it up.
No. Unless you do a full NANDROID backup, everything will reset. Hornet, if you use any launcher other than sense, you will retain everything.

When i switch roms I restore all my apps then i go into tb there is a green high lighted backup that says HTC Sence desktop hit restore data on that and all my folders and icons and most widgets restore back to where they were, the only widgets that don't never restore for me is power control and power amp for some reason.
Don't forget to go in tb and back it up before you wipe all your data.

I used to use titanium then switched to my backup pro and have great results obviously as long as I am using the same ROM or base to backup the screens etc. I switched to nova and that backup restore works great again for using on the same ROM or base.

hi,
I am currently running CM10 build 201210003
and thinking about flashing to build 20121107
is there any risk of data wipe.
Thanks in advance.
Do you mean like apps, or your sdcard? You can make a nandroid backup if you mean apps.

i meant apps. i guess i will do a backup and see what happens, thanks
BTW i have a weird bug on my current build, if the screen lock is on (PIN), the home button stops working. i dont know if this has been experienced by someone else, it drove me crazy until i figured it out.
Thanks for all your efforts FE.
Little ashamed to admit it hut I have never actually backed up any phone I have owned. Atrix, vivid, s2 but I want to do right by this phone and downloaded titu. And online nandroid. From this point on I am a little lost as to how to back up my files. I am rooted but still haven't unlocked the bootloader the reason is I want to install the camera mod and have a backup incase anything goes wrong. When I downloaded online nandroid I could not get it to update and would not let me back up my phone do I need to be unlocked as well? Also is this any different from using titanium backup and or which one is better than the other

Well I got nandroid to update seems I didn't let busybox Install completely but still is this a better back up than Titu provides?

Nandroid backs up your current ROM configuration. So, however you have it set up, all apps, settings, etc, it remembers and will restore you to that same "image". TiBu is more for backing up and restoring apps, en masse. It also allows you to restore text messages, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings and a few other things. It gives you the ability to uninstall system apps with root or freeze them if you choose which its often safer until you figure out whether or not remove a system app will negatively affect stability. Hope this helps.
