Hey guys
so whenever i need to flash new rom we need to format data and system before so i was thinking any way to format data without
losing apps
as apps are installed in data/apps and data/data
is it possible ?
i hate restoring again and again using titanium b
The whole point of formatting /data is to erase all the apps. Use TB

I'm just curious if after wiping data and cache when flashing a new rom will you still be able to run titanium and restore apps and data. Now I've made a backup copy of the internal storage and placed it on my pc, but the transfer rate is so slow that I'm compelled to ask my question.
yea you'll be fine running titanium.. and wiping data will not touch your music/photos
Hi,
My question is:
Im using a custom rom with darktremor, If I do a data wipe and factory reset to instal a new rom will I loose all my apps? Will I need to flash darktremor again? And when I flash it, my apps will appear,since they are on a partition?
Cm9.0 is about to come and I want to know that...
Thanks
wiping will erase all your non-system apps including those on you sd extension. you will never be able to have your app from sd ext unless you back it up before wipe.
By back it up you mean use titanium backup ? It wont delete the partition, right ?
Messed around without an backup! i know! Crazy kids.
Anyway, i installed TWRP after and wondering if it is possible to backup all apps and data from internal storage and restore after wipe.
I mean, i wanna to get it restored as it was before but without the saving of the settings on all apps and Android for that part, then it should be OK OK (?) cause it was the changed of settings that made it F'CKT.
There is to backup:
Boot
Recovery
System
Data
Cache
EFS
Modem
edit:
I can use Advanced Wipe and there is:
Dalvik Cache - Did not help!
System
Data
Internal Storage
Cache - Did not Help!
Micro SDcard
Is it System? or? :/

You have to wipe the data and system partitions obligatorily, but you do not have to format the datas like photo, video etc obligatorily

WhatsApp have a backup script for the messages... For save the pictures, video etc of WhatsApp you can, with a file manager eg. ES File Explorer, copy the files in your external SD Card or in your DCIM folder in the phone's memory.
Then with any tool like Titanium, I'm not sure, you can save you messages and, I'm sure the data of your app.
While switching ROMs , can we restore data (internal+sd-ext) from previous ROM using twrp?
Those Who have tried it or having knowledge abt it please share..
Files stored on Internal + External SD has nothing to do with with switching ROMs.
Explanation, while backing up from twrp you get options like system, data, cache and boot.
"Data" here represents application data which includes user apps and their data (data of system apps too).
Example- You downloaded a song from chrome. That song resides on your internal storage but isn't considered as data of chrome (lets say it's external data) , while bookmarks in xhrome is considered as internal data.
So if you're worrying about your songs or photos. Then don't. Just dont wipe your internal storage or external one and everything's safe.
Now about the data partition, it's absolutely fine to restore data only from previous backup of twrp. However it may conflict in the new rom. Suppose you have a data backup of lollipop rom and you're trying to restore it on a marshmallow rom, it'll give you headache a little bit.
None of the VALUABLE application data resides on external storage. (Exceptions are always there like I've seen clash of clans caches in external storage, it's not valuable thats why I've highlighted this word earlier)
Anyway I don't think twrp back up the data stored on external storage (correct me if I'm wrong here).
So you're good to go if you're about to restore data from same version of android. Just restore and see what happens.

With SD-ext, I mean second partition which is used for link2sd or app2sd...restoring that in a same Android version on different ROM..will it create problems?
P.s thank you for your reply..?

Yes twrp won't backup linked data.
I've tried this for once.
Just do data backup from twrp and then restore it in new rom.
Since you won't be wiping your second partition of sd card. Files there won't be harmed. After restoring you'll get it working like in the previous rom.
