I just flashed cm7 2.2.1 and im wondering how to restore my apps back to my phone? or isnt it possible? my sd card has alot of space like 1.4gb before i flashed the rom, and now i almost have full space and im thinking of deleting them and start to a new one if restoring isnt possible, if i delete those things on my SD card, will there be a problem on my phone?
if you have a previous CWM backup from your early version of miniCM7 2.2.0 , you can restore your data, just reboot into recovery, select backup and restore, select advance restore, select your backup, and then select data.img, but make a backup of your miniCM 2.2.1 first
Titanium Backup could be a great tool aside from the one option mention earlier. you can even select what apps to do back up and restore.

Hey guys ive installed VillainRom 5.5.0 a little while ago and was looking to change to the new 6.1.0 However im not quite sure which steps i need to follow.
I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Do i just start from the second section? or do i need to load the recover rom etc.
Another thing i wanted to ask was ive done a full titanium backup (apps and settings one aswell as just apps one). If i download titanium again and go to restore it on a different Rom i shouldnt have any problems right? And i assume i should only restore the apps not the apps and settings?
Also i have apps2sd installed. Before restoring should i make sure the sd card has the ext2 partition before restoring from Titanium?
Final question is that ive done a nandroid backup with ext, but this is only useful if i want to revert to 5.5.0 right?
In summation:
1) From the guide where do i start to install a new Rom seeing as ive already rooted
2) Which Titanium backup do i restore? apps and settings? or just apps?
3) make sure after doing a full wipe and installing the new Rom that i have the right ext2 partition on my sd card before restoring from Titanium to make sure everything goes back to the sd card because of apps2sd?
4) Nandroid backup is only needed if i want to revert back to 5.5.0 and keep all my settings?
Thanks guys

No need to Do recovery stuffagain. Just put the ROM file onto the sdcard main folder and boot to recovery to flash it (remember your wipes)
You can restore the titanium backup with settings fine afaik
If you have ext partition already, it won't disappear or change, so you are fine
Always nandroid before flashing, but you are correct about what it does
OK thanks. 6.1.0 here i come i hope
Hi there,
There are some ROMs need a full wipe (data & dalvik-cache & sd-ext) to flash and it's so annoyed that after wiping and flashing, if unhappy with the new ROM, I restore the old one but all apps disappear.
(I guess because I install apps in the SD card then even I do a backup before flashing a new ROM, when I restore the old one all apps disappear?
Is it possible to move all apps from SD card to ROM before backup then play with the new ROM and if unhappy, restore the one one and move all apps from ROM to SD card again? Or there are any other ways?)
simples. On nandroid, choose backup nand + ext. This will backup the A2SD partition as well.
Either that or get titanium backup, which is amazing for transfering apps between roms and new versions, and the donate version is well worth the price!

Iv had issues with the restore not working when doing the +ext backup. Worth a try though,.... but Titanium is good.... the free version takes a while to restore, you have to confirm each app one by one, the paid version is "one-click".
Thanks guys, if back up and restore nand+ext work then it's great!
So I backed up my stuff with MyBackup Root (Backed up APK+Data). I proceeded to install WB's Gbred and now I am trying to restore the stuff but after restoring, a lot of the applications give the "The Process _______ has stopped unexpectedly" So I am wondering whether I backed it up wrong or is it because I don't have enough internal memory (I had app2sd). If I don't have enough memory, how do I backup half and then use app2sd and make some space and backup the other half
I have old backups containing just Data, and could restore them (SMS, MMS, Call log..) with Mybackup Root without problems.
Try to restore just data.
Wolf GB 2.3.3.
Restore apps in first, then, in the preferences go to Applications -> The second line (sorry I'm French ^^') and select the apps you want to move in SD card. After that, restore data alone
Hello
Here is my story
I was trying to upgrade to ICS by flashing the latest stock ROM XXLPS that I got from Samfirmware.
1- on the first try I did not perform a full wipe, the ROM was a no wipe ROM so It upgraded and all my apps are kept there,. after a while I start facing errors and restarts so I fall back
2- on the second try I flashed the ROM then I did a full wipe/factory reset. It was working well until I rooted it using CF-root and started to restore my apps using TB. I noticed that the problems are coming from Apps installed on external SD, sometimes it was unmounted automatically
Anyway I did a fall back using a CWM restore, I noticed after restore that CSC and baseband are still the ICS ones ? I thought that CWM backup and restore everything??!!
I have also had the same experience once....
when we select advance restore we can find these:
1) Restore Boot (which include boot image and Kernel)
2) Restore System (complete system files)
3) Restore Data (user data like apps and user data etc..)
4) Restore Cache
5) Restore Sd-ext (if we set a partition for applications in the externel SD card)
Unless the CSC is already integreted in system (2nd item) I believe these 2 items, especially baseband, are not backed up normally from CWM, otherwise there should be a restoring option too .....
Especially if you go from one generation to another (Gingerbread to Icecream e.g.) its more complicated to go back a step. You should flash a base Gingerbread ROM from samfirmware e.g. with ODIN (not a CWM version) and then try to restore your Gingerbread backup.
After you flashed the base you may change CSC before you restore your backup. This is the cleanest way to get back.
CWM nandroid is not what we know as a real image backup of a PC.
Thanks guys for the clarifications
BTW regarding the upgrade to ICS what is the best option to do it and restore back the apps or keep them ?

This you have to do with Titanium back up not with CWM back-up...with Titanium Backup pro you can restore applications from nandroid (CWM) backup.
there should not be any problem while you restore only apps on the ICS, some may not work, just unsinstall such...better you select it individually and install... but dont attempt for any system data restore....
This is exactly what I have done, i tried to restore using TB but from backup taken by TB and not from Nandroid.
It was working fine but later start to hang and restart. I noticed that the issue is coming from applications installed on external SD? Is there any issue with ICS or CF-root kernel and external SD card?

try moving all apps from ext sdcard to phone for a while and check for any issues like hang or restart
I found an open issue related to crash and reboots when a large number of apps are installed on sd card.

I've been using TiBu a lot to back up and restore my apps now that I'm flashing a lot more, but now with the smaller data partitions in the new JB roms I'm finding myself having to move a lot of apps to the sd card... which is fine. The problem is though TiBu always tries to restore everything to the data partition and will freeze when it runs out of space. Is there any way to get it to remember which apps are backed up on the sd card and restore them accordingly or no?
SOLVED
Go to TiBu's Preferences and scroll down to RESTORATION SETTINGS. Select 'Restore backups to...' and then change option to 'Original location (for TB 3.2.8+ backups)'.
Your apps will now restore to the sd card and you don't have to worry about moving them after a restore!
