How to update from omega 27v to 28v without losing games data? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, is that possible? Everytime I do a backup restore with titanium backup full version, it never restores the game packages, which makes me a bit reluctant in doing a full wipe before flashing a new Ron

Only wipe cache, and dalvik then just flash....any options to format data....decline

Open titanium, press menu choose backup data to xml.
For TW, backup the TW apps and restore only data. Widgets cannot be restored though, only folders.

[Q] Question regarding Titanium Backup

Hi,
So i'm planning to stick with the Apex Launcher and have reorganized how I want it to look and so forth. My question is, when I do a flash for a newer version of a custom Rom, say for example Omega series, what do I choose in Titanium so that it backups up my current Apex Launcher settings as well as all my games with their saved data, bookmarks, and any purcahsed apps? Thanks
Backup all apps + system data but..
Restore Missing apps + data. dont do restore all system apps if you move to another firmware/custom rom

I see. Also, before I update to a new version of any custom rom, I usual;y do a factory wipe reset in CWM, clear cache, and clear dalvik. By doing that, would it somehow affect the backup in titanium if I were to do one?

Nope, just save your backups in your External SD to be sure

Sorry to be a bug, where is that option to "backup all user apps + data to external sd? Or do I need to move it manually? if so where is it stored in the internal SD?
once you have backed up all, copy and paste the folder "titaniumbackup" from internal SD to Ext. SD or your PC

Move your existing backup manually first
Set it before you backup again. Preferences, backup folder location, detect, whole device.
You'll pretty much lose your home screens. You shouldn't need to wipe between versions of the same rom

You will not lose your home screen if you're using other launchers it will be backup-ed like any other app, been wiping and restoring thru TB and my Nova Launcher home screens are still intact from which i backup-ed.

Thanks for the info. That's true I dont need to wipe between versions of the same ROM. I guess I'm paranoid
I just have 11 apps that I have downloaded, is there a quicker way of doing it instead of selecting each one by one? Wouldnt choosing "Backup all user apps" mean EVERY app currently on my phone including the ones that I personally didn't download?

Well if any problems occur after flashing, then you need to do a full wipe that's way you need to back-up all apps

Why wouldn't you back-up all? in worst case scenario it would be very useful plus you have options in restoring to not restore all apps so I think that would be fine.
If your worried about the size of the back-ups don't worry it will not go even close to 500mb, as you said you have only 11 apps at the moment :good:

Ok thanks again!
Also, what happens if I do a user apps + data backup in titanium and decide to upgrade to another version for example, omega 6.0 to omega 7.0, will there be a conflict with the data portion of the restore because the developer might have changed something once I do a restore with "missing apps + data " in the 7.0 version?

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

You can simply backup your apps and data via TB and
After installing a new ROM just restore APP+DATA via TB... best way to sort and backup and restore apps individually :thumbup:

On some clockworkmod versions you can do an advanced restore and just choose data. Never tried it but maybe give it a shot

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.

Is there a way to back up/restore everything between roms?

Just wondering. I just flashed JellyBeans and so far I'm not sure if I want to keep it. Might go back to CleanROM. But it gets tiring having to set everything up over and over. There has to be a way to just back everything up and restore it after installing a new rom.
Titanium Backup (app) can backup/restore your apps and appdata.
A Nandroid backup (recovery) can backup the entire rom, basically creating a duplicate of what your phone is currently running.
refer to the glossary section of my guide.
Thanks guys.

So that nandroid backup restores the rom and your apps? 'Cause I've been using titanium but having to reinstall each app anoys me.

No, not when you take the backup. When you restore you shouldn't have to either.

Don't use this to restore your apps between flashes. It restores system data too abs you very well will have issues on your new ROM. Use titanium backup to restore your apps. Of You pay for the pro version it t only takes 1 click.

Hello everyone,I want to upgrade CM 10.1 but is it possible to back up my all apps or everything in phone now.After I jump CM I want to use my phone like previous.As short as I dont want to loose my info.Thanks.
Titanium backup for your apps and data, sms backup for your texts. Sync contacts to google, call log, there's an app for that as well but can't remeber the name.
Stuff on the external sd can be left as it is, make sure you back up any photos etc from your internal sd.
Wipe everything when you're installing cm and everything should be there

Titanium backup batch user data question

Hi,
I see in titanium backup you can select a batch backup or restore of user apps.
Can you restore using batch just user data obviously I do not want to do system data since that can cause problems.
Thanks,
Bryan
I know you select and restore user apps + data in batch and ignore system apps while restore.
Just user data not sure.
Pressing THANKS easier than typing.

True..
When I install a rom upon reboot it will automatically install apps from market which is ok so then instead of going to each app and restoring data only would be nice to batch it.
Thanks,
Bryan
The general consensus is that restoring data can introduce problems but there are people who do it.
Personally, if I can keep data in Google I have it in Google. Otherwise I try to pick apps that have their own backup/sync routine. Rather than doing a wholesale restore of data, I'd be selective and restore data where I really need to. If you have problems you can uninstall the app and then reinstall the app asking from TiBu without data, or just install a new copy from the store.
And of course have a nandroid backup.

Hi,
I always thought the problem was restoring system data but not user data? I am only looking to batch install user data picking the apps I want and having it saved for future batch restores.
Thanks,
Bryan
I have one suggestion /data/data is where user data is being stored. You can multi select those directories using es file explorer compress as single zip file and restore it back by extracting at /data/data
I tested with an app manually it worked. Even permissions were retained.
