buy the pro version...

First off, you should never backup and restore ALL apps with Titanium, especially when switching roms. You should only backup downloaded apps, not system apps. System apps vary with every rom, and restoring them with another rom will cause a lot of problems, as well as take forever. As mentioned above, the Pro version does batch backup and restore.

That's a nandroid backup, i.e. a complete system image. If you restore that, it restores the rom and all apps, just like it was when you made the backup.

titanium
Batch backup/restore icon in Titanium backup pro is located in the top right corner of your screen.

What I like is the option under titanium, press the menu buttoon, choose extract from nandroid backup.
From there you have options for data + app or whatnot, and after you hit the checkmark. Auto installs and never had a problem.
Just need a nandroid and your done, always extract my same apps from previous nandroid backups.

[Q] samsung galaxy s 2 restoring nandroid backup

Hi guys,
I am facing a very curious and seemingly common problem.I have litening rom installed on my gs2. Now i want to change the ROM but dont want to lose my data. Taking a nandroid backup I noticed that there is a special option in CWM called advanced restore.Using that you can restore parts of your nandroid backup instead of taking a full restore.
Now my question is that, once I have installed a new ROM can I take a restore of only the data part of my nandroid backup to my current ROM? The backup was taken when I had litening ROM installed. Will it return all my apps , app data and other things as they were with litening rom to my new ROM ?
You should have used Titanium Backup to restore apps and app data, restoring system data across different ROMS is not typically recommended but can be done, it is totally up to you. Nonetheless, your best bet to restore any or all of this is not a nandroid backup, that is best for restoring an entire ROM, to restore just apps or data or whatever, use Titanium Backup. So my advice would be, create another nandroid of your new ROM, restore back to your old ROM, download Titanium backup, backup apps and data using that. Restore back to new ROM, download titanium backup and choose option, restore missing apps and data.

Quick question regarding titanium backup

Straight to the cut...
I wanna change rom and backup my apps with titanium in order to use them with another rom. Some apps are on phone, the rest on sd-ext and none on sd. So...
1. If I backup my apps then I have to install titanium on new rom and restore them. Will titanium now where to place the apps again (phone/sd-ext)?
2. Do I back the up with their settings or just the apps?
Thanks!
Im not sure about sd-ext but backup your apps + data. This will restore them to their exact original state before

Click the ' RUN - Backup all user apps + system data. Should do!
It should restore all apps+data to the place they were when you backed them up.

Q: When doing wipe is there way to backup all apps and settings and then restore

I tried checking guides and using search but found nothing, this may be stupid question but when trying new rom or patching newer version of rom which requires wipe all things are reset and apps are gone. So is there program to save settings and all the apps and then after wipe restore them so everything would be like before wiping?

Yes, you can make a Nandroid backup "it saves all setting apps" you installed even The alarm clock that you setted to go to school:
1- Go to CWM" Clockworkmod Recovery menu"
2- Backup and Restore
3- and u will have a bunch of choices (Backup to internal or External SDcard) (Restore from internal or external sdcard)
after you choose wait for the device to complete backup and then reboot, the next time you want everything as it was perfectly you just have to restore the Nandroid backup that you made.
Important : DONT EVER CHANGE NANDROID BACK FOLDER NAME because MD5 checksum recognize only the folder name that was created during the backup.
Hope this helps !

Thanks alot! I always though that cwm's backup and restore was for ROM
Should i advanced restore and restore data only, wont it restore the whole "older" rom too if you make complete restore?
Using nandroid backups to restore data after flashing is a bad way to do so, because it does exactly that - restores all the apps and settings, which essentially equals to a no-wipe. Use Titanium Backup and backup only user apps

Okay, thanks. Did not know that. So i can backup my apps with Titanium but what about all the settings? Is there method to back them up? I use Apex launcher so it does have backup but those system settings, anyway to back those up?
read the app details

Titanium backup backups apps+settings, so u wont lose any progress on games, even facebook and twitter remain all the same, no need to log back in after restoring the apps. And for your launcher, im using nova launcher and in settings i can make a backup of my homescreens etc. So if i do a full wipe i restore my apps with TB and the nova launcher backup and everything is back to as it was before the wipe! Hope this helps

Titanium Backup Not Restoring Apps from Nandroid Backup

I have an LG G5 with LOS 14.1 and the Donate version of Titanium Backup. I'm trying to restore some apps from a recent TWRP backup.
I can select the apps I want to restore and TB goes though the process of restoring the apps.
At the end TB says the restores are complete, but there is no change and none of the missing apps are restored!
Can some please tell me how to fix this? Thanks!

TiBu is broken.
I've moved to Migrate in Google Play.
I've figured out how to restore an app from a TWRP nandroid backup.
1. Clear the app's cache
2. Put phone in airplane mode (to prevent app communication between steps 3 & 4)
3. Use the Nandroid Manager 2.4.2 app to restore the app only from the TWRP backup.
4. Immediately afterwards use Titanium to restore the data only from the TWRP backup.
5. Disable airplane mode
6. Start the app
This works perfectly, because Nandroid Manager chokes on restoring data, and Titanium chokes on restoring apps. It takes extra time, but so what - restoring an app is an essential operation.
