I am running on limited data usage plans and so I cannot upgrade the system apps(Google Maps, Google Search, YouTube etc.) everytime I flash a new ROM with full wipe. Tried to backup system apps using Titanium Backup Pro and restoring into the new ROM but failed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:fingers-crossed:

Why can't you go on WiFi and upgrade? In titanium backup did you uncheck exclude system apks?

Still not working.... When I restored YouTube v4.1.23 with the data of v4.5.17 it is not happening!!!:crying:
I use app extractor to add my apps after I've changed ROMs. So the apps you have now gets copyed in the form of apks. Install with package installer.

Why don't you download full gapps package once(for your android version), and then flash it over everytime you flash a new rom?

Gapps are usually integrated with Samsung based roms. After flashing a Samsung based rom you would just need to upgrade. I use app backup restore to backup the apk's. Try it and lemme know if it helps.
No.This is for cm base Roms.For Sammy ,you can extract the respective apk from the zip file and place it in system/app and changing permissions.
Edit: Don't Samsung Roms come with integrated gapps?at least the basic ones?

Cheers People
Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-root-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpd-88120/
Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

What type of data? Music and photos are saved to the external SD card for me, and as for game save data, I believe that is externally backed up as well.

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

Hi ,
I am a noob. I just installed CyanogenMOD 9 in my Sony Ericsson live but the problem is I can't install PLAY STORE, GMAIL etc. The apps can be installed but the problem is when I click(touch) on them to open nothing happens. Every other app is running good.
I have another question :
Though I survived the no-playstore horrible moment where nothing can be found to get any File manager or Titanium Backup which I use to restore all of my apps saved and backed up on my SD Card. Then I downloaded Titanium backup from their homepage using browser and restored some of my apps as per needed.
What does a person usually do to install apps after flashing CyanogenMOD?
Also, how can I install play store or Gmail app now?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Are you on cm9/10, because on the kernels of them cwm is integrated! :good:
Cwm isn't an app, it's a recovery for our phones...

Hi, So I had the play store installed and managed to mess up all my apps. It is not longer there on my tablet and I trying to reflash it in this way. CWM says that it installs successfully but the Play Store isnt in the app drawer when I reboot. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Hi!
I was wondering, before I do something stupid , if there's any problem on doing an advanced restore, restoring only data, so I could get my apps, contacts, etc on my just flashed ROM Cyanogen Mod 9, for locked bootloader. I have two nandroid backups, one with the stock ROM ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10, and the other with a custom rom, I think called ZXperience.
So, can I do a data restore easily without messing anything?
Thanks!
PS: I'm using Sony Xperia U

Well, I had 6, so I install the v5... I did na advanced restore from the stock ICS ROM. Now, when turn on, it shows sony logo, then it shows cyanogen mod boot animation, then flashes, get's back to sony logo, and then to cyanogen mod boot animation again and so on.
I can't still boot into CWM Touch Recovery.
How can I restore my settings, contacts, etc?

I wasn't sure, a little odd, but it's ok. I used Titanium Backup Pro to restore app+data from a nandroid backup. Much easier.
Thank you so much for the help and patience!

APN Backup and Restore is what I use and I'm on 4.3 Bean Stalk. Its now v1.9 and I had it working with v1.7. You have to convert it to a system app via Titanium Backup. With v1.9 there is an option to disable the check for ICS devices.
I tried using APN Backup and Restore on 4.4, even put the app in /system/priv-app folder, but does not work. I was actually searching for a fix and came across your post.
If I converted a few Google apps like Google plus or news stand etc to use app using titanium backup and then flashed gapps during custom ROM update, what will be the result? Will it be system app again or remain user app or will I have 2 copies?
