I'm interesting in installing in this custom rom. As I haven't done this before(I'm not noob in tech stuff, so I can do this easily) I have a question. As I have read, installing any custom rom, including Ultimate sola v2 requires wiping all data. I'm rooted and I use titanium backup for backup/restore. Question: Will I be able to restore without problems after installing ultimate sola? I have a lot of data and I don't want to lose it.

Both regular data, like contacts, call log, messages and data from games and apps, like angry birds, cut the rope etc.
Should not be a problem restoring game data. As long as you backup the system data.
Titanium backup cannot backup messages and contacts. You need a separate backup for that. Contacts can be simply synced with your google account. Messages will need to use MyBackUp Root. I use this and Titanium to backup everything.

Titanium Backup ( Free version) only supports backing up of all apps along with user data. For contacts - Sync with Google, Messages - use 'SMS Backup and Restore' app (by Ritesh Shahu)
And in case of some very important data, if you dont trust these apps, just manually copy important data to your PC and later you can try and restore in case these backup apps fail to restore.
Hope it helps
Might wanna hit Thanks button if you found it helpful

Im concerned about the upcoming update: Im using MIUI rom and i will swap to MIUI v4 (iCS) as soon as it comes out... but im tired of losing my user data between every rom swap...
I know Titanium Backup should be the way to do this... so, is it safe to backup all the apps and the apps' data and then restore it on ICS? even when the backup was made in a GB rom?
Any alternative way of doing so? What do you usually do / recommend to do?
Thanks!
You can back up and restore the apps no problem, though I would be careful restoring user data. What I do is restore all apps and use sms backup/restore for my texts and Google takes care of my contacts.

Well, I don't really think it should matter if the backup was done in GB and restored in ICS. One thing could happen, is that you may have been using an application that isn't yet compatible with ICS. Other than that, I don't really see why there should be a problem.
Have a good day.
The biggest problem is for the apps settings and games progress and so... with titanium backup, i should backup user apps + data and then restore it in ICS?

To be a 100% sure put the TB folder on your pc and on an external card.
I tried restoring TiBu apps backed up on GB when I flashed an LPQ ROM and TiBu hanged on some of the restores. I had to restart each time it hung on a restore. I tried using batch restore, and restoring individually, both ways it happened on different apps and the same app. It was weird because my SMS logs restored no problem but some of my apps could not. Luckily I had a Nandroid backup so I quickly went back to my daily driver.
Titanium backup likes a phone reboot after first install .
Install open reboot phone less likely to freeze or hang on backup .
jje
i also had over 200 applications, out of which some randomly failed to install on CM9. After failure of restore, i again have to start restoring process in titanium backup from start leaving that applicatoin. Luckily, I dint find any problem in restoring to PURE ICS rom, it just resotred everything like a charm. Some applicatoin (like smartstats) were crashing after restore. I just wiped the data () and then it worked.
Hi
I'm new to rooting and custom roms, so far I've rooted my s3 (i9305) and added a custom recovery. I'm currently looking for a custom rom to update the stock version I'm currently running (4.1.2). I have titanium backup installed and everything is backed up, however many of the posts I've read suggest not to restore apps + data from titanium backup. Can anyone explain why, is it just titanium backup that causes problems? What about using other backup apps like helium? Can I restore just the apps using titanium backup, or should I download from the play store instead?
For me the most important stuff is contacts and calendars (which are in my google account), so that's easy as I just re-add my account. My call logs and SMS are backup to my google account using SMS backup, so I assume it's ok to restore this data as well, I'd also like to be able to restore my firefox data.
Any advice would be appreciated to a noob, I know how to do it, just want to know what the potential risks are of restoring apps and data.
Thanks
Dave
Try app backup and restore if you have a lot of apps it could potentially take up quite a bit of space but you could always backup to cloud ,or external hard drive, or flash drive

It is normally okay for u to restore apps. But not recommended if u are coming from touchwiz to aosp roms. The frameworks are different and u may experience force closes. U can try to see if u have force closes.

Now I know this is a boob question but I've read so many conflicting answers.
If I switch roms and want to keep all data, eg game saves, app data, WiFi settings, launcher settings etc, what is the best practice to do so?
In the past I've used ROM toolbox pro to backup apps and then restore in new ROM?
But I've read that this isn't recommended?
What is recommended? Backup via recovery?
If so how is it done?
Assuming I'm switching ROMS completely? Eg CM11 to cloudy?

Where did your read that? Its not a good idea to restore system settings but restoring user apps and their data is perfectly fine. If by WiFi settings you mean access point passwords then that should be fine too.
If your individual apps have a built in backup function I would also use that to backup your data just in case.

Ah ok. Thanks.
Read it in a few threads.
So I'll just use ROM toolbox pro then.
So it can't be done via twrp backup of 'system'

A nandroid backup (backing up via recovery) is a backup of your entire system, not only apps but also your ROM--so basically if you restore a nandroid backup you're phone will be entirely restored to the way it ways when you did the backup.

I don't think you can do a backup of just your app data in recovery.
If you wanted to restore your user apps & data it's the data partition not system you would need to restore but the data partition is where recovery backs up to. How can recovery write to/read the very same partition that it's simultaneously backing up/restoring.
Hey guys, im thinking about Installing PureX v9 rom, but i want to keep all my data on the Internal storage and all my apps+appdata, so what is the best way for doing a backup that will contain everything on my phone, then after installing the rom I'll restore it
Thanks!
If there is an SD card available, download an app like titanium backup,set it up so that it will backup your data too(if that is what you want), and take a full backup.
Once you have installed your new rom, simply restore the backup.
The app should take care of everything else.
Hi @Mokiwipeout I have a question... Helium Backup is also a good backup plan right? Like it backs up the app data etc..?

Haven't used it, but you can always do some research on helium backup, and find out whether its users like it or not

Hey
Im using Custom Roms now for over a year, but i always have one problem with restoring data.
I mostly use the Google Feature, that restores all your apps. But all the time i have to login in every app again and again. I mostly als make a Titanium Backup, but when i restore these over the preinstalled apps some apps crash or on Lineage OS the whole System was unusable. I also make a TWRP backup, restoring is not always possible when you switch to another Rom.
I also dont own Titanium Backup Pro, so autoinstalling dont work.
How do you restore apps + data ?
What guide did i miss ?
Thanks in advance
move up.
I 'm also interested which app for backup is recommend.
I know oandbackup and TitaniumBackup.
Till know I only tried oandbackup but there are several problems. Backup to SD-Card doesn't work. Also to internal storage the backup was complete but only a few MB big but should have a lot more.

TRY THIS APP
https://apkpure.com/backup-app-backup-restore/com.k2.backup
used to be on playstore but now removed
it copies your apk and data and restores it next time!
however later i found bug that it doesnt restore automatically
1. make backup by backup+ on customrom 9
1b. make backup of all APK by https://apkpure.com/app-backup-restore-easiest-backup-tool/mobi.usage.appbackup
flash new rom android 10
2a. restore APK only made by https://apkpure.com/app-backup-restore-easiest-backup-tool/mobi.usage.appbackup
2b, now create new apkonly bakeup only by backup+ and https://apkpure.com/backup-app-backup-restore/com.k2.backup
2c, restore "DATA ONLY" of PREVIOUSLY made backup by BACKUP+

After letting Google install all the apps just restore data from titanium, NOT app+data. Also, if you do this often just buy titanium. You spend so much money on the phone and titanium also works on all your future phones. It really saves you a lot of time and is well worth the money.
Titanium is the answer , it is feature packed as hell.
Also if you want to use a different android version backup to another version (Like from 9 to 10), you can always just restore the Data, it works for me always.
You can let google download all your previous apps in android 10 and then restore only data from Titanium, you can obviously batch select the apps to restore.

About the best way to Backup & Restore Data on Xiaomi phone, if there is a computer, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Assistant. It's easy and safe. You just need to connect your Xiaomi phone to computer via usb cable, enable usb debugging on it. A deep scan later, you can take backup of your Xiaomi phone with 1-click. After that, you can use it restore data from backup directly.
