Is there any good backup software that will create like an image of the phone as is, software installed, ringtones used etc that can be used if you ever have to hard reset your phone ??
I use MyBackup Pro (get it from ppcware*) - it can backup your apps, phone settings (including APN's) and so on...

You cant restore the CM7 system apps to devoid final. You can restore the apps/games that you downloaded to the devoid final though titanium backup. Just dont restore apps like google maps/talk/ etc which comes preinstalled.
PS: hows the devoid final rom ?
That's right, Use Titanium Backup. I haven't flashed void.final yet because of all the hassle of restoring apps and data.
Firs things first... use Titanium Backup or something similar along with you nand backups. This should make restoring apps easy. Run the backup batch and then the restore batch on the new rom. I do not recommend restoring system data, it may cause faults in the system, especially when going from 2.2 to 2.3 and back.
So, man, restore the nand backup of your CM7, use Titanium Backup batch, re-flash your void.final and then restore the Titanium Backups. That should do it. This procedure is a must if you want to test custom roms, or just flash often.
Cheers!

Mate, better get used to Titanium Backup, it's a life saver if you like modding.
Word of advice: update your backups, and (this is an important one) backup (copy on HDD) your Titanium backups (you can find them on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/)!

Yeah. Getting Pro with better scheduling (plus Dropbox sync) is worth it, IMHO. Also, the backups are much faster with Pro.

Ah, you mean SMS/MMS... Well, dunno about Titanium. I am backing them up via GO SMS Pro; never liked the stock messaging app really. It can do scheduled backups (binary/XML, full/incremental) and even send the backups to your email.
i will try SMS Backup and Restore from market. if it does not work, i'll try yours! thanks for ur time man and all of u there who shared his time answering my questions!
Hi, I'm now using the MiniCM rom. Everything works fine and its a really really awesome ROM.
MiniCM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
But I'm facing ONE deadly problem, There's no "Backup and Restore" app in it.. I've tried searching the net for the .apk but most of them, after installing, shows a "LOCKED" as I'm not running the official ROM..
Someone please give me a link to the cracked one that will work for my MiniCM ROM? I know there's one, I used it before , but deleted it after i changed back to stock ROM. Now I changed back to MiniCM and I really really need the app..
Please help thanks for your time
First of all you were posting on the wrong section. This should be posted in General Section. Second posting of warez here are not allowed, with regards to your query you can search for titanium backup, to backup/restore your application, but if you want to backup your system use xrecovery for that! Hope it this helps.
Alright, but all my contacts were backed up using Backup and Restore, i need the same app again to restore my contacts.. Titanium backup couldn't do that.

you should have backup your contacts using titanium backup or just sync it with google..its easier that way
Yup just sync it with google or you can export it to SD. In froyobread the fix for Restore and Backup is by just editing build.prop, coz dx uses Sh!t instead of Sony, and that causes the problem in Restore & Backup, i dont know with MiniCM

I have very little knowledge about this kinda stuff man. I don't even know what's build.prop :/
you can always reflash to stock 2.1 rom, restore your contacts using Backup and Restore, then sync it with google account before flashing any custom ROM.
ps: and you posted this in the wrong section, and you should do a search first since I think I've seen someone posted backup and restore apk somewhere.

So what do you all suggest I do now?
Google myphoneexplorer.
OR you can do manually using this steps (dont need internet access to save your contacts)
1. goto "Contacts"
2. press menu button -> Import/Export
3. select "Export to SD card"
it will saved as 001.vcf (you can save to your PC if u want)
to restore, using same steps 1-2 and for steps 3 select Import from SD card
Use Backup everything, it backs up everything except the contacts, you have to do this manually.

if you can't find a working Backup and Restore apk, then I'd say you should reflash to stock eclair (or restore an eclair xrecovery backup if you made one), and restore your contacts.
then, you can rebackup your contacts again using any of our suggestions (google sync, export to sd card, backupeverything, or myphoneexplorer).

Hi all, i've been trying to restore my sms-es from a nandroid backup. Apps like appextractor do not work as my backup was made using the new method introduced in CWM 6. The data files are store in a file called data.ext4. is there anyway to extract my data? Thanks!
Use the app called NANDROID browser to find the SMS files (something.db I think, google "where are texts stored in android"), extract them to the sd card, and paste them into the correct system location.

Tried that but it only shows boot and recovery

Most of the time , nandroid backup do NOT save SMS , most of the time ... :/

Well AFAIK, CWM nandroid backup is backing up every single file what's in the phone's flash chip. System, boot, recovery and data (which contains database for SMS's too) so if other files are there, so should be SMS database also. Can't tell how to extract it from there since its using this new blobs structure now, but maybe there's a way..

I was wondering why appextractor wasn't restoring sms backups on nandroid.
I tried the TiBk and it works but when showing conversation list when opening mms app, the time of when the last message was received is the time when it was restored. all the sms's time/date are good though when viewing the thread.
EDIT: Nevermind, it works perfectly, date/time is all good in conversation view, just when it was restoring that it was messed up.
I can't find a program that can "explore" nandroid's made with CWM 6+ based recoveries, due to the change in format. Nandroid Browser and Titanium Backup no longer work for this purpose. Anyone find one?

Almost a month ago now so I'm not sure if you're still looking for a solution, but I've found that the beta version of AppExtractor v2.0 from AppsByAndy is able to read and extract apps and data from nandroid backups created with CWM6.
I went and bought a couple of his apps even though I didn't need them. Just for appreciation.
Oh and specifically I used the app to restore SMSes. Worked so well I'm going to use it for clean installs in the future.

Have you tried hooking up to a PC via USB. Then explore the CWM backup that way ?

Even that is difficult. I've tried using unyaffs but CWM6 no longer produces a data.img to explore / extract.
I can't post links yet (10 post miminum before I can link). If you can be bothered, do a Google search for "Koushik Dutta New ClockworkMod Backup Format" and the first link should be a Google+ post giving an overview of the new backup format from ClockworkMod 6.
Edit: seems I can link.

Thanks for the Info.
Hello everyone, since we're not getting android nougat update officially, I decided to flash RR 5.8. Can anyone guide me through the process of backing up apps and their data which I can restore in the ROM ? A detailed guide would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You have to root MIUI.
Once rooted,
use "Titanium Backup".
It will backup App and its data (all apps you can including System apps).
then flash the ROM of you choice and use Titanium backup to restore the apps and data (I would suggest to install the app and then restore its data fro titanium backup).
Hope it helps your need.

A::: Just install the app and do not open the app. after that restore "only data" for the app.
Can you please guide me through the details here ?
A::: i have covered all the details. in my previous and this comment.
still, here it goes again.
back up app+data.
flash the ROM of your choice.
install the app from play store/any where.
restore only app data from titanium backup.
These all info is based on my experience and nothing can be guaranteed. for me everything was working fine after backup and restore.
