Hi,
I'm using titanium backup each time I restore or flash with a new ROM but I have not find an easy way to restore only the :
APN preferences (Internet access / MMS)
Saved Wireless network
Different accounts
For the accounts & wireless I've found them in titanium backup, but unfortunately not for the APN settings (and I have to enter them manuallly each time...)
I've seen that google keeps a backup of our phone... hmmm... are all these settings stored? if yes how to restore them?
Install APN Backup and Restore Then convert it to a system app in TB. More details on the play store.

Application Widgets
Bluetooth Pairings
[CONTACTS/CALLS]
[VOICEMAIL]
[WALLPAPER/SETTINGS]
[SETTINGS/BLUETOOTH]

[WALLPAPER/SETTINGS] - backup your HS wallpaper
[SETTINGS/BLUETOOTH] - backup your bt configuration
Thank you I thought voice mail was stored server side.
What do you mean by created account what are they specifically?
I also forgot to ask about one does anyone know what "applications widgets" would be?
Also is there an option to store all your android settings?

So u have some account like google or not?
If u selected backup all user applications and system data so after clean install or another ROM u'll have all settings back in phone.
application widgets - don't know sure what it is but i think that it's backup all your widgets app...
Thanks so there isn't really an option to copy over everything from settings? Also what is a good custom recovery to load so I can do a nand backup?

I'm using cwm (ClockWord mod recovery)..so from my opinion I backup only few apps which is hard to install again thats all..all my contacts are safed on the server of google and other apps I install again..after 30 minut is all back
I've got about 6 different wifi networks saved on my phone and would like to save them and the passwords so I dont have yo re-enter them each time I change roms.
Whats the best way to do this.
Go to settings, privacy and select back up my data. Your passwords will automatically be restored once you sync your phone with your Google account.

Yes I'm rooted. In titanium backup I've backed up
Wi-Fi 1.0
Wi-Fi Access Points
Wi-Fi Sharing 1.0
Wi-Fi Sharing Manager 1.0
Should this do it. I only have the free version of the app.

only "Wifi access points" is required...if you have backed up from GB rom and restoring on a same version of GB then others will not make any harm..otherwise better dont any otherr system data..
Dear Friends,
Quick question here:
How can I change or add my MMS settings or get an APN going for the EVO LTE? I know the common solution is APN Backup and Restore, but for me it is not working, DESPITE the System App change using Titanium Backup. I successfully converted it to a System App, but APN Backup and Restore still cannot change the APN I want, due to permissions on ICS.
What can I do here? Especially since in the EVO, there is no APN menu either, in the Mobile Networks settings?
Thanks for all your help!
I am new with this and I have one question.
Is it possible to back up wifi passwords, email accounts and all those stuff, before flashing a custom ROM so I can just restore them after flashing.

Yes. Root your phone and use a backup app like Titanium Backup. Then save the folder somewhere, flash the new custom rom, restore the folder and then everything else you want with the app.

I have Titanium Backup.
Is there anything else I should backup other then "Backup all user app + system data"?

No, just copy the TitaniumBackup folder with all the backups somewhere that won't get lost.
Also, when you restore after installing another rom, DO NOT restore the system data. Only the user stuff. Or at least not all the system data. For example wifi points are ok, but don't restore any system apps.

Is it a problem for you to be a little more specific, please.
When I look at "Restore" section of Titanium, I don't see how can I restore only wifi points or email accounts.

Press the option button on the main page from TB.and scroll down to:
Backup data to XML....
Than you can choose to back up your WiFi,email and call log.

You can restore user app and data without any problem but if you want to restore system data then always use xml (TitaniumBackup will suggest you for that). If you will not use xml for system data then after restoring data your phone will crash and a lot of services will not work and terminate itself.
and finally you will have to reflash again.

I did xml backup for messages, wifi and call logs and I did "Backup user app+system data".
Is that what are you talking about?

When I had my iPhone, I can do iTunes backup to my Mac and when I have a new iPhone, I can do restore of the apps and data from the previous iPhone. It restore everything, including apps, the apps data, email configuration, etc.
For Android, there is "Backup My Data" under Settings --> Accounts. Does this do the same thing as the above?
For example, I tried to do this:
1). Check "Backup My Data"
2). Associate this with one of my Gmail account
3). Get a new Android phone and... I don't see "Restore" in the same Settings.
I DO see the settings to Backup My Data in the new Android phone, but I am afraid if I checked this, it will overwrite the data in Google's server
I am trying to figure out if Backup My Data can re-download all the apps installed in the older device, including the apps data. I don't care about email or contacts, since those are synced to my Gmail accounts.

Backup and restore works by backing up which apps you've installed, contacts, etc and, when you get a new phone, it will restore these items back. During a new phone booting on, fresh ROM, the setup allows the user to restore from Google account that you backed up to it. IT happens also when you flash new ROMs as well during setup. The backup function allows, before getting a new phone to backup and then restore in new phone during setup. The apps however will need to be reset to custom settings because the phone will redownload them from play store yet will not have any of the settings you previously did.

Ah, that's key. That means I have to redo ALL the settings in each app again. I was hoping Google backup will restore individual app settings AND data, as described in my 1st post. In Settings --> Accounts --> Google account, I have the "Sync App Data" checked, but I guess it's not doing anything to backup app settings and data.
OK, I guess I have to use Titanium Backup or Helium instead. With Helium, once I installed an app (whether it's Playstore or Amazon's Appstore), I can restore the data and it works exactly as it was in the old device.

Yes, a custom backup (ie Titanium or Helium) backup your data from the apps. Google just contacts, etc for minimal restore from one device to next. One of those or related should work because they make an extractable file you can drag/drop from one phone to the next and be able to restore very well. Helium may be the better way to go. Ran into problems recently with Titanium since 4.4 but may be fixed by now.
does anyone else have the problem when installing a new ROM that Google doesn't restore the apps? I have had this problem nearly every time I have installed a new ROM, and eventually have to end up restoring (which is a total PITA.) I often wonder if I am missing something, as this drives me completely nucking futs.
