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

Actually, you can extract a cwm backup using Titanium Backup, but I am not sure about the "quality" of the backups

I tried restoring a backup of a stock ROM, but upon start up, it comes up with the tutorial setup to find it hasn't restored any of my applications, only my system settings. Can someone explain what the hell is happening?

By restoring a backup in CWM. It just doesn't seem to restore any applications.
Can't say what your problem is there, but it might be worth investing in titanium backup pro (batch restore saves a lot of time and effort). Hope you get your apps back.

I use Titanium Backup already It's just easier using a nandroid back up for me. Didn't back up in Titanium Backup unfortunately but I managed to retrieve me apps by using App Extractor to extract the applications and contacts from the nandroid backup

If you only wanna restore your apps use advanced restore and select restore data

How did u make backup of the stock ROM?
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?
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.

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!

I think that will make so much easier for me the fact of testing more ROMs on my cellphone, thanks you
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:

You could also use yaffey to extract anything from a CWM backup:

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.
Hi everyone,
I had upgraded my Galaxy Gio from stock rom to custom rom (CM 7.2 based), and now I want to restore just a few apps + data (for e.g. Memo) and Contacts (from stock rom) from my Nandroid backup, so I want it should be on the current custom rom.
How far I tried to do so, I could'nt get it done. I tried with NANDROID MANAGER, I installed it and tried to restore some apps + their data, (the apps was in previous rom in System/Apps so Nandroid Manager automatically wanted to install it in system/apps), ok, the program showed as it's installed with no broblems, BUT after reboot as it required, NOTHING HAPPENED, so I looked in system/apps and data/data with root explorer, those apps & data were there, but it was not installed.....
I also tried to restore the Contacts from Nandroid (Contacts Storage), and I ended up with erasing all contacts I had currently on the phone (anyway that wasn't a problem, cause i had an regular backup of it).
So I would like to understand what the problem is, and how is it possible to have my previous memos and contacts restored to my current rom?!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?!
Thanks in advance.
If this were me I would make a nandroid of current ROM, wipe clean, restore nandroid of old ROM, use titanium backup (preferred but there are others) to backup apps and data (I use a different app for contacts and SMS/call log but I believe titanium can do this too) then I would wipe clean, restore nandroid, restore what is needed from titanium
May sound like a lot but should be finished in less than a half hour with all

Thank you for replying.
But I had read some posts that if the current rom is EXT4 based and stock rom is RFS based, then CWM wouldn't restore the backup normally (because the sd card has to be rfs format - something like this if I understood). So i'm a little bit afraid to do that cause I don't want to get stuck on boot....
Any sugestion for that??
Thanks in advance.
Well sd-card is always formatted as fat/ntfs irrespective of the rom....
Sent from my Spice Mi-515 using xda app-developers app
Like in the post above you will never have an SD formatted in rfs, but there are some recoveries that have issues restoring backups depending on the format the backup was made in but this doesn't appear to be your case (like if a backup was made in yaffs2 but recovery uses tar) so I really don't think this should be an issue for you. Having said that I have never used your phone before and if you're very concerned you should find another who has to ask. But I'm still 99% sure you're safe to do this
