I rooted my new galaxy sIII in hopes of using titanium backup to restore the apps off my old htc evo 4g. On the new phone the apps don't show up when I try to batch restore...
Any Idea how to get this to work?

did you put your old sd card in your new phone?
I have the feeling that titanium is searching your phone's internal memory rather than sd card for your backups.

In titanium, press menu the preferences. Scroll down to backup location. Find where you have them stored and they will show

That is correct, a lot of the apps search the 'sd card' but it won't automatically search the external sd card, the user supplied one.
Question's been answered, but I want to mention: be careful when restoring data like contacts and messaging. That's what I did that required a couple of factory resets to fix.
User installed apps restore just fine, as you would think. Even Swype, which surprised me.
All I restore is missing apps w/data

I rooted my Photon, installed Titanium Backup and backed the phone up to my sd card. Today, i exchanged my Photon for another Photon.
Do I need to root the new phone in order to backup using Titanium?
I guess what I'm getting at is that if the phone needs to be rooted again, it would seem there's no on the fly solution to immediately backing up the phone. I'd have to re-root the phone which means having my laptop handy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
How do you guys do it?
Thanks again.

Yes you need to root again. I havw tried titanium unrooted and it says it wont work. The only one i ever got to work without having root was mybackup pro but you have to buy the app when restoring to new device when using mybackup pro. Not much info but hope it helps.

I have a broken-screen Photon and want to use TB to restore to my new Photon.
New Photon is rooted, but TB will not see all my elements. It don't think it's seeing any of my downloaded apps & data.
Any advice on what I need to do? I just want my new Photon to be like my old Photon.

I've tried everything that I can possibly think of, with no luck.
I did a fresh app only save and that didn't work. New phone would not see the apps to restore.
I can't figure out how to get my app saves off my old phone to be recognized by TB on the new phone. Do I need to download all the apps from the market? Do I need to factory reset the new phone and start over?
This is really starting to drive me crazy. It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult.

I now have a suspicion that y new phone is not reading my SD card correctly. It's not seeing all my pictures or videos. I've unmounted and remounted the card but no change.
Continually confused.
Try moving your titanium folder to internal storage and see what happens

This was the key (I hope, at least). I realized I was using the internal storage SD mount for my saves. I changed the directory to sd-ext and created a new folder there to perform the app & data save.
It's working through a restore right now, but I may be close.

Chalk this up to inexperience. I was backing up to the internal SD, not the external. Once I restated to external, it worked pretty well. Now just some tweaking to be done.
Thanks all for your help!
How can I back up everything on my phone, settings, email accounts, apps, ringtone and notification settings, music, etc..etc... and then restore them to the new phone?
I use my backup pro. There are many apps that can do this. I've used this app for a while and it works flawless. I recommend saving your back up on to your ext micro sd cards. So you won't loose your back up on the wipe. Once restored, go to the app store download my backup pro and restore.

If you use mybackup pro and have root, it'll backup to your SD card and then you just copy to your comp. It goes in a folder called reware I think it was.
Then put it back and restore on the new phone.

I got my Galaxy S3 today and I'm currently using Galaxy S2. I'm going to root it the S3 using CF-Root. I have already rooted my S2 and have backed up apps and system data using Titanium Backup Pro.
Once I root the S3, will I be able to restore the backup on to the S3?
The reason I'm asking this (stupid) question is because there are three types of backups in Titanium Backup Pro and I'm not sure if they will work when I restore on the S3. The three types are "all user apps", "all system data" and "all user apps + system data". I've backed up the S2 using the third option but I don't know if it will restore onto the S3.
I wouldn't restore system data from an S2 on to a S3. Just restore apps only if anything. To be honest I'd play it safe and manually restore them from the market. That way you know your only getting S3 compatible apps.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I can check if all the apps I got on S2 are compatible with S3 before I restore them. I want to be able to back up all the in-app data and restore it onto the S3 such as games etc.
Will I need to back up system data to be able to do this or just back up apps?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Ok but only restore app+data. Do not touch system data. Even restoring system data on a different rom causes problems let alone a different phone model.

There isn't an option for app + data. There is only an option for app. Does this option also back up app data?

By default, backup all user apps will automatically backup apps data, as well as data from external storage unless the size is larger than 32MB.
Everything are configurable in the settings, change them accordingly to fit your purpose. I think restoring user apps from s2 to s3 will be fine, but not recommended for system data, always let them generate in their own ways~

Copy the folder /sdcard/TitaniumBackup to your S3, all the backup will show up in S3 as uninstalled apps.
I was wondering how do multiple ROM users switch between roms so fast. It seems so slow for me to always reinstall apps, login and password, for each rom. Even using Titanium with just data is slow because you need to spend time to reload apps.
Are people just using nandroid backups to switch and taking a new nandroid when there is a ROM update?
Just wondering how you guys do it.
Thanks.
Do you have titanium pro? You can restore apps, all in a row without having to tap buttons in between each app
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Titanium Backup Pro is your answer my friend. Also a lot of apps allow you to save/restore your settings. For example, I use Nova Launcher and I can save my desktop configuration, so when I switch to a new ROM, I'll first reinstall Titanium Backup and use it restore my apps in one fell swoop, and then I restore my Nova settings which restores my home screens, widgets, shortcuts, app drawer options, etc. Finally in the Messages app, I can restore my text messages.
That and I'm a big OCD nerd who enjoys starting over from scratch, so even without all these shortcuts it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to me. That's just me, though.

I had read on some threads before that the best way is to save on data on Titanium and then reinstall your app from appstore then restore data only. Is this true cause that is what I would do but still took forever to restore apps from the Play Store.
Do people run roms from nandroid backups and just update the rom when needed?

I back up both the app and the app data and I restore the app and the app data together, all using Titanium Backup. I don't touch the Play Store at all unless I'm getting a brand new app, or if I've lost/corrupted one of my backups somehow.
If a restored app gives me trouble (very rarely), then I will uninstall the app, and then restore only the app without the data.
I don't know what you mean by "run ROMs from nandroid backups." A nandroid backup is like a system restore point on your computer. Like a snapshot in time of your ROM and never changes. So after you make or restore a nandroid backup and install even one app it will be different than your backup copy.
What you are using right now is your "system ROM" or "live" ROM if you will. Nandroid backups are just checkpoints you can activate again (restore) if your system ROM breaks or you made a change you want to undo.
Some people have more than one favorite ROM. So they will install a ROM, set it up to their liking, then make a nandroid of it. Then install a different ROM, set that one up, and make a nandroid of THAT. By doing this, one can quickly jump back and forth between multiple ROMs by simply restoring the appropriate nandroid. Having a bunch of nandroids can take up a lot of space, and if you don't rename or organize your nands it could get confusing!
Hopefully this answers your question?

Is there any way to back up Google Apps data? I have 4 gmail accounts and it takes time to have to set them up each time.
System apps generally perform poorly from data restore and can actually affect the overall performance of rom. Gapps are considered system apps so I wouldn't count on restore. I've never actually tried it though
Only app I back up is my texts.... I do clean install each time.

Backup "Accounts" in Titanium Backup. It will save your accounts and passwords, then all you have to do is set up the apps again. I haven't had issues with TBP and backing up system apps yet, but I know it's not recommended.

Settings and system apps are generally not good to restore across roms. I've been using titanium for about 3 years now for user app/data and hardly have any issues.

i switch roms like crazy and im runing cm10 right now im running it on a clean install so far only thing ive restored is XDA so i dont have to login and subscribe to threads again but other than that i dont restore anything else
I use system tuner pro. It has an option to restore apps and widgets to where they were on your home screens so you don't have to set it all up again. You can also back up or restore everything all at once with a 'one-click' option.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
If you use similar roms you can just format the system without affecting the data. But still it is better to reinstall everything. Also use titatium backup for all your apps and my backup root for your personal stuff. I change roms allot. Doesn't take too long.

Titanium pro backs up all your accounts so u don't have to sign in with them all again. It also backs up texts, call logs, and WiFi access points.
Only thing I haven't figured out is for it to backup your home screens like some of the other apps listed.
So this is my first non rooted phone is there anyway to get my titanium backups working.
I still have my old device if there's a different way to backup my data I'm all ears

Assuming you can get to the factory recovery option from boot (stand on one foot hold these three buttons or whatever) you can use TB to make an update.zip of your backed up stuff, not sure but i know that the factory recovery on all samsung devices in the past have the default option of "apply update.zip from SD card" might be worth a shot. Worst case it just fails the update.zip and you haven't really lost anything.
after i realized titanium backup required root... (always using a galaxy nexus, i never even noticed, lol) i ended up purchasing my backup pro. doesn't backup settings of your apps though unfortunately and required me to click install for every app.
Lol the settings\data is the important part

Just letting people know this method did work. All apps + data came across from my galaxy nexus. even things like my nova launcher which made me very happy.
