Ok, I need your advice on this one cause I am a bit confused...
Ok lets say I am using a certain rom and have installed all the apps that I want. I have done a nandroid backup in case of something goes wrong.
Now, I want to flash another rom but want the apps that I already was using to installed in the new rom also. I know that I can backup with titanium but my concern is that when I will restore them will create duplicate folders or files on sd... is that going to happen or am I talking bull?
Can someone please suggest me a procedure to safely back up apps in order to use with another rom without messing up my sd folders or create duplicate files?
Also when I'll backup my apps do I have to back them up with their data also or not?
My apps are located on sd-ext and phone, none on SD so when I will restore them will they be placed where they were before?
It doesn't create duplicates.
You can use nandroid backup or titanium backup

so after flashing new rom, can I use advanced restore to restore only data and sd-ext?
So I backuped all my system data and apps with titanium backup and now installed different ROM, and when I try to restore missing apps and data it asks for approval for every single app I had installed. I need to press "install" and then "done" for each app, and not only that, if I don't want to install and press cancel it stops working and I need to go to task manager, kill titanium backup and do everything again..
Any ideas how to make that process automatic?
u can try another version of it.....since the data is in the sdcard .the versions wont mattr
Do you have free or full version installed ?

I have a free one.
What approval does it ask for?
I'd be wary of restoring all system appsndata coming from a different ROM.
Try restoring data for Titanium Backup by itself first to see if helps it remember.

Hi.
I want to find out wich is the BEST COMPLETE BACKUP of any android mobile phone program and if i can install it to an UNROOTED android phone.
I hear that clockwork is the best but i don't know if this program can work fine with UNROOTED phones because it suggest to install it only to rooted phone.
So please the persons who KNOW can answer to me with proof.
A LOF OF THANKS FOR ALL.
gotta have root for those backup programs.
Sync your contacts to Google and there you have a back up of them. Any paid apps from the market will always be allowed to be downloaded by you since you paid for them.

So isn't there any program that it can do a complete backup of any android phone WITHOUT rooted or sing into google?

O...nope. your definitely going to have to root to have access to that.
"I love my Springfield XD40"
firstly you need root for any significant backup, withought it the best thing i would sujest is connecting your phone to a computer and just copy everything over, that will save most apps and things. But even with root i am not aware af any comprehensive backup app because there is so much to backup: ROM, Kernel, Contacts, Data, Apps as well as different locations where they are: OS storage, internal SD and external SD.
despite this i have found helpfull combinations of:
App Backup & Restore
Mobile Backup II
MyBackup Root
Titanium Backup
ROM Manager
some need root, some don't and some are partialy limited without root, but all were helpfull and have saved my rear a few times

There is a way. Bring a storage device like a thumb drive and go into a sprint store or a radio Shack. They have machines (cellebrite) that can backup contacts pictures video and sd contents. Or you can do it yourself buy pushing everything to dropbox.

Yeah, that's not "everything". If you want EVERYTHING backed up on your phone, you're going to need root. Normal "copy everything off of the SD card" doesn't get you things like app data or preferences/settings (like ringtone and notification tone settings, as two out of a thousand possible examples).
Now, if your device has fastboot enabled and you have an on-hand recovery image, you can likely
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
(make appropriate substitutions for your on-hand recovery image file and device), and then do a nandroid backup from there. Aside from the data written to your storage device (on-device or SD card), that shouldn't permanently modify your system in any way.
With the titanium backup that it work ONLY on a rooted mobile we can make A FULL COMPLETE BACKUP of any android mobile.
And when i am saying full complete backup i mean(Rom, kernel, apps, settings e.t.c.) ALL the things that it has the mobile this time.
And after a change of rom or kernel i can restore ONLY the apps and settings to the changed rom/kernel?
A LOT OF THANKS.

TB doesn't backup kernel and its settings, widgets placed on homescreen, and certain system apps when you reflash same Rom. Only one way is a android backup which is same as an image backup in windows.

So there isn't any program that backups EVERYTHING so you can restore it by choice everything you want....
Clockwork doesn't do a COMPLETE FULL BACKUP of any mobile?
I search one program that can make a A COMPLETE FULL BACKUP of any android mobile device like samsung galaxy s2.
Clockwork backs up your entire system. Including apps installed to sd card, but it won't backup info on your sd card normal storage (the one you can use a usb mass storage).
clockwork nandroid backup+regular backup of sd card = full backup of everything on your phone.
Of course, successful restore of the backup without modifications will only work in phones with the same model (no restoring a gingerbread backup of an htc device to an ics samsung device for example)
So clockwork can make a FULL COMPLETE BACKUP of entire monbile into an external usb har disk corrrect?
Then you can restore ONLY the apps if you install a custom rom to the mobile or the restore must be a complete and not a part of it.
A 'nandroid' which is done with clockworkmod or twrp or amon-ra is a complete backup...
Titanium backup does an app by app backup...
Titanium backup will also let you open the backup and pick out apps to restore if you use clockworkmod or twrp

Yes but not to a USB hard disk. You can chose from internal or externa SD card.
After that you can move it line any other file.
Pretty comon on flashaholics. They try a ROM and a few minutes later flash his entire system(nandroid backup) back.

What is the twrp.
And the complete system backup you do with clockwork can toy restore ONLY the apps from this backup to a custom rom or kernel that may you have installed at the mobile like samsung galaxy s2?
Where is the clockwork and titanium backup topics so i ask here to.
A LOT OF THANKS.
One more time .. recovery=clockworkmod and does a backup equivalent to an image file in windows. You can save backup to pc, flash other roms and restore your user apps+data from titanium backups and start using. If not happy, restore cwm backup and it'll be exactly how you had it before. Do a nandroid backup, transfer to pc and look inside using winrar, 7zip etc and you'll see what it saves.
When flashing different roms you may or may not restore data from apps via TB as certain data may affect stabily, each custom rom lets you know. For TB best to gooble search their site for guide, troubleshooting, q&a.

So bottom line is that i can make a complete full backup with clockwork and then can make apps restore with titanium backup correct?
If i leave the oficial rom and change the kernel then i have any problems from the apps restorations?
Nandroid does the full image backup everything, system, boot, apps, data just like windows image restore
Titanium backup for apps + data is great when using same apps across different roms .. read up on its site

I already checked other threads about this topic, but I have more specific stuff to ask about backup of user apps + system data, since I'm doing the GB>ICS update with downgrade+fullwipe+root:
- won't the restore of system data bring back old gingerbread files/broken stuff (I had a problem with video recording, I don't want to bring it with me)?
- are the phone contacts part of the "system data"? Can I just backup those and not the rest of data, since I don't care at all about sms or phone settings in general?
- do i lose photos and videos in the SD card if i wipe-flash a new rom?
- can I choose which user apps to backup? I don't really need to backup 'em all
- after the full wipe, all i have to do is redownload TB, look for the backup in the SD card and restore it?
Maybe there was more, if i remember I'll post it here =)
- do i lose photos and videos in the SD card if i wipe-flash a new rom?
Nope
- can I choose which user apps to backup? I don't really need to backup 'em all
Create a label. Its under Filter options.
- after the full wipe, all i have to do is redownload TB, look for the backup in the SD card and restore it?
Yes. After you install TB the backups are already listed there with a Smiley face

Hey buddy...
* for contact- you should backup ur contact to sdcard or ur gmail account.
* in full wipe, all contents like photos. And videos or others are not deleted.
* you can backup ur user apps and data using titanium backup and get back after flashing new rom through it do don't worry about user apps.
* yaa only redownload TB from play store and get back ur all user apps through it.
Cheers...
Sorry for bad english...

but you shouldnt backup apps from gingerbread and try to restore them under ics
i heard with some apps this will bring you force closes
Ok then, let's say I backup contacts directly on the Gmail account, as for the apps, does the backup save the whole app or just the data/savings? I don't mind reinstalling all the apps since Gmail keeps them saved on my account, I just don't want to lose some settings and games' savings, what should I choose in the end?
Edit: and backing up apps moved to SDcard, does it bring them back automatically to SD when you restore? Or should I move to phone every app I want to backup?

titanium will do this job
if you want to backup it will ask u wether u want to backup only the data or the whole app
if u restore it will ask this again
Great! So if I backup the app data only, then reinstall the app on ICS and restore its data, I shouldn't encounter the compatibility problems you mentioned, right?
Exactly
I did it several Times this way and all went great

Sorry stupid question let me clarify as I've installed Roms on my tablet before but I have an S3 now. If I do the back up option and save it to the SD card or something, and then flash a new rom like Cyanogenmod on it, with the backup that I have does that mean if I restore that backup it will put my phone back to exactly the way it was before I flashed it to Cyanogenmod? Like all the apps, settings etc untouched? I'd assume so but wanted to check to make sure it doesn't mean it's just the rom or something that's backed up and that it's the apps settings etc too.
Yeah it will reset it to the way it was but just in case, use some backup apps to backup your apps and data.
