A word of advice to the the people using TiBu to restore apps onto jellybean:
I've seen many people having trouble restoring with TiBu especially coming from ICS. Even when I was still using my S2 LTE.
Give Rom Toolbox Pro a try. You can easily backup your apps and data as a batch, and restoring them is a piece of cake. Never had any problems.
Although it is considered better practice to restore apps without their data, as it could potentially cause instability issues due to bad data. I've always restored the data as well and, in my experience, had no issues in particular. Even when the data was originally ICS based.
Just throwing it out there.

Isn't rom manager a collection of several apps in one? The back up interface looks identical to tibu but requires too much digging to get to.
They are both good tools but it seems like tibu is more flexible with app backups and is updated much more often.

Zero problem restoring apps from GB, ICS, or JB (upwards each time) from TiBu here, on both my Galaxy Note and Nexus 7. Why N7? I moved TiBu data from another device there and installed it from there.
All fine. Normal caveats apply.. Must reboot for services/running apps to start, must recreate accounts, anything that needs to run as a service sometimes might even need to be manually ran, etc.. None of this is ICS/JB/TiBu specific.
Just don't restore system info between roms and there should never be a problem

I've always used "My Backup Pro" since the Dell Streak, as apparently TiBu didn't play well with it. I never seem to have the problems people report with TiBu.
I always restore APK's first, reboot, then restore data to a FEW apps that I know won't be problematic...
I think you can use "My Backup Root" to try it free...

While I own both the paid version of tibu and rtp I prefer using tibu for backups. It was made to do just that and it's the best at it IMO.
TB is by far the best backup app out there. The problem is not with TB but with the user who doesn't know how to use it correctly.

Most of the problems people report are due to user error. If people would rtfm and learn they would have a much better experience.

If I switch to a new ROM wipe my cache/data yaadaa yaadaa, then when I'mon the new ROM can I go back into CWM and go into advanced restore can I restore just my data will I get back all my apps and data and everything will be good? As long as my backup and new ROM are both EB01?

For just restoring Apps and the data when switching between roms, I recommend.....no, HIGHLY recommend Titanium Backup. Not only does this app backup apps and the data of the apps, it also backups the market cache, so on the market, the app would list as being installed. It's incredibly useful. It also allows you to uninstall system apps by the way.
I know that and that's not what I'm getting at, I don't want to get titainium backup pro and the regular titainium backup takes forever to restore because u have to hit install for every app and its very tidious sooooo, I came to the conclusion since its in my backup files why can't I just restore it from there because its just one click and no hassle... but I want to know if that works.
P.S. I have titainium... and mybackup root too...

It is tedious, but in my case worth it. I have not used MyBackup Root in app backups, but you can try.

It may have apps that are specific to the previous ROM. I've done it and it can work but if its a differnt ROM it can cause problems. try it and see.
Personally I'd save up the 6 bucks and buy Tibkup if you are going to flash ROMS Titanium Backup is going to be one (if not the one) most used application you will use. If you can't part with the 6 bucks get MyBackup Root I don't think it prompts you for restores but I could be wrong (I haven't' used it since I bought TB)

It doesn't always work. Titanium Pro is worth it if you're going to be flashing multiple ROMs. The time saved will equal much more than $6.

Batch Restore your app people....in the full licensed version, pay the money...it deserves it...phenominal app....only must have app i have come across since I've owned my original Droid....worked even when I switched to the Inc, and copied the backup folder over...(Apps+Data only, obviously no system stuff)
is that what you're getting at on post#3...pay the money and forget about worrying...I always wipe everything between roms, even updates to the one i'm running...then TiBU after flashing new rom...takes a couple minutes and I'm back up and running...even with Go Launcher, homescreens are backed up minus widgets
This post has nothing to do with TiBU at all, and its not the purpose, I just want to know if I can take the data from a backup and install it with my new rom?

It does have something to do with tibkup if you want to restore your data. You've been told basically NO to your OP and to use tibk. If you don't want to listen why ask?

Which would be to BUY titanium Backup Pro or MyBackup Root
Other than that you can take a chance and restore /data or if your on 2.2 or higher let Google restore all your apps from the cloud but a lot of ROMs don't seem to auto restore.
Stop being cheap. It's worth it.

I am getting like half of my apps Force Closing any time I try and run them. I performed a full wipe when I installed it... Could it have something to do with my Ti Backup restore?
Most likely ... What was the last back up you performed? If it was from a GB ROM that will definitely cause issues.
Typically I just restore data from certain USER apps only, never any system apps. I have been OK thus far doing it this way.

I just joined the root game with the purchase of the Rezound so i never learned how to backup and restore things. i just installed titanium backup and kinda backed everything up, took the files off of the sd card and put them back on and restored them when i flashed a new rom.
Now i heard about this method were you create an update.zip folder to flash in recovery and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this?
I thought it only installed titanium but I dont know. I will say this I run my backups on a schedule every night at 2 am everyday. I use force redo of backups. Then I know I'm backed up. I also sync that to my dropbox.

Ding ding ding. Drop box works great for this purpose. Then, if your internal/ext. Storage gets erased, you will always have it at your disposal.

Just so you don't have regrets later, just get in the habit of only backing up the user apps. If you jump roms you could run into some issues restoring system apps. Done there, been that

May want to look into MyBackup root, if all you're interested in is app backup. I have found it to be a little faster and it's free version allows "silent" restoring of apps.
For those of you who use this, how effective is it vs titanium backup?
5 stars
Imho it is the gold standard.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
It works fairly well. Remembers apps, different settings like wifi spots, bookmarks.
For app specific data, it's hit or miss. Mainly because it's up to the developer to decide if they want to include their app in the backup service.
That being said, I use titanium 99.9% of the time, just so I know for sure that my app data is being saved.
Thanks for the replies. TB used to be reliable, but now I've found restoring data is hit and miss; can cause many fc's.
I'll go ahead and try Googles backup system i guess

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.

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.
