Hey guys,
First post here... please help!
I'm migrating from a rooted MDK S4 to a rooted ME7 S4.
I took a nice Nandroid backup using CWM on the MDK S4.
ME7 is rooted but no CWM or TWRP so I can't restore the Nandroid backup as I normally would
Tried Nandroid Manager pro AND MyBackup Pro root separately (with a factory reset in the middle) on the new ME7 S4... but whenever I restore apps + data, most of the replaced apps crash. Like Nova launcher will crash over and over
When I uninstall a crashing app and reinstall from Play store, it works perfectly! Restoring my data on top of that app works fine too. I just have ~140 apps and can't do this manually.
I've tried MyBackup's migrate feature -- same results.
Bolded my problem above. Any idea why these apps would be crashing on the new S4? I wish there was a way for me to tell Play to download all my apps to the new device and then just drop my data in on top!
Thanks guys

Hello people and geeks,
I just got a new phone, Galaxy S4, and I did a Titanium Backup (pro) on my two years old phone, Galaxy S2 (CM 10.2).
So I put the sdcard from S2 to the S4 and I was about to restore the backup when my girlfriend invited me to go to a craft brewery local festival. Then we went there and drank a lot of the best quality beers that I tasted in my life. :silly:
When I came back home, there was my brand new S4 phone waiting me to restore Titanium Backup from ssdcard.
I can't remember very well, because I was pretty much drunk, but I did the restore.
To short the story, I ended up with a inoperable phone, showing error messages every second after boot up. To solve it I did a factory reset and installed Samsung's stock ROM.
Now the phone don't show errors anymore and seems to be working well, as would be expected.
Here it goes where I need your help, mates:
The apps menu on S4 is showing system apps restored from S2. Yes, by mistake I restored system apps from Titanium Backup.
Even after factory reset (from TWRP) and formating the /system and install stock ROM again, there are some apps from my old S2, I can't get rid them and don't know what to do.
What I can do to get the S4 back exactly to factory default?
There is any way from this system apps are being installed from SIM?
What the repartition feature from Odin does? It can be useful to my case?
Thank you in advance!
This might be a noob question...
Hyperdrive has a new update and based on what I've read I would have to wipe the phone and flash the update on the phone.
Is there something that I can do to save or reinstall the apps I have after I flash the new update? Instead of going and installing each app individually again?
Thanks,
Angel
Titanium backup with save all of your apps and their settings.
Once you install the new ROM than you just restore all the missing apps and its data.

couple things, if you have playstore apps, you can set that up to reinstall all the apps fresh and use tibu to restore data. Many issues happen when you try to restore everything thru tibu or any other backup programs.
In 4 years of flashing roms, I have never encountered any issues when installing roms or upgrading roms when I install apps fresh and use tibu to restore some of the data. I dont like chasing problems which take a lot more time.

+1 This is by far the best method. Even just trying to batch restore through TiBu sucks because it takes almost as much time as going through all the prompts on the installs. You can tell google which apps you use on a device, and then re-download them through the play store without having to deal with the install prompts. Then after that, you can just restore the data like decaturbob said, and then I'd suggest a reboot so all the apps fully close and re-open. Most important one for backup for me is Tasker as I've spent countless hours setting up all my triggers and profiles.

I use ROM Toolbox Pro. Once you get it root access there are no prompts to go through as mentioned about the TiBu... just select whatever apps you want to install from your backups and then choose restore app or restore app & data. I try not to restore the data because is usually does cause at least one issue.
I did a backup of my rls14 setup using safestrap, wiped the slot, installed a clean rls15 and then restored data only from my rls14 backup and have not had any issues so far.

THIS.....^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.
Thank you

think i've figured out a method of attack
ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.
solved
just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.
Titanium Backup on Lollipop
It seems like TB 6.1.5.6 can't get root right on Android L. I have no problem with KK. Anyone have got this problem like me?

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
I have a Verizon LG G3. I took the OTA update to 5.0.1 (VS98523C), rooted my phone and installed Titanium Backup, made a backup, and then proceeded to delete system apps. I'm getting error messages about weather apps so I want to restore them but can't because apparently TB needs to download them from the store. I installed TWRP so I could restore from Nandroid backups.
Is there a place I can download TWRP backups? I've seen threads on how to restore to stock but I don't want to lose root, I just want to restore the device to stock-but-just-rooted. It was such a huge pain in the neck for me to root that I don't want to lose root and re-root if I don't have to. It seems like someone would have uploaded backups but I've been searching for a while and all the search results just seem to point to how I can install TWRP.
LG g3 one click root is fast and simple if you need root. If you uninstall system apps make sure to reboot after or you'll get errors with the app trying to load. I don't think you can just grab someone else's backup. It would probably work but I doubt anyone wants to share all of their data with everyone.

You needed to have made the backups.
You can install one of the clean ROMs that is basically the OTA, like Jasmine.
Nandroid backups come from you making a backup of your system.
Thanks, I just installed Jasmine and (so far) it's working great. It fixed my problems AND now I can use all my apps in dual window mode!!! This is better than stock!
P.S. I did a nandroid backup right after installing Jasmine
I haven't updated my phone in a while. I don't get the over the air updates anymore. I saw the new update and thought it was time.. My phone is rooted and I'm running G900tuvu1ane6 and want to update to 6.1 and then root the phone again. Can you let me know if I can do a straight update without messing anything up or do I need to do an incremental update? Also, what is the best way to root the new version. Are there any issues with mm that I should be aware of. Thanks in advance.

No. You can go straight to 6.0.x
Flash twrp flash supersu
Not really. There's been a crap load fixed/improved since KitKat tho lol
Hi!
Yes, you can
You can by using ODIN
Go to sammobile to download the last MM version
Download ODIN (sammobile has a link to ODIN)
The phone will be swiped. You'll lost all data
Fisrt boot can take 8 minutes or more
The root again
So I'm running a backup now with twrp. If my phone gets wiped with this update, what is the best way to save and restore settings like app data and personal info. I think twrp is just for a full backup and restore correct?

You can restore just data with twrp but honestly I highly suggest just starting fresh especially going from KitKat to marshmallow. So much has changed betwen the 2 from dalvik to art, file structure, etc etc. Back up your contacts and just restore them. Download all your apps back log in etc etc. Take you 10 minutes longer and starting completely fresh and clean.

I'm agree
There are a lot of changes from KK to MM.
you can use google backup and restore mechanism to restore some kind of configuration: when you are running first wizard google ask: "restore from previous phone"?
This restores desktop confiig and install your apps you installed from play store
Whatsapp restore automatically from last backup
Call log and SMS can be backup and restore with "SMS backup and restore"

I followed instructions I found in another thread but it didn't wipe the phone completely. Not sure what I did wrong but the phone seems to be working well with the existing apps.

I was trying to remove bloatware and I've been finding threads for other phone's firmware but they have different apps. I've seen some apps that remove bloatware automatically but don't know if I should use one of them or just uninstall apps through titanium backup. If I use titanium have you guys seen a good list for the newest firmware?

Helloooo
I have a galaxy s5 900T, but I am in Europe and I have problems with the mobile network.
Individual network frequencies are unavailable, so I do not have 3G and 4G networks in some places.
I'm thinking to install software from Europe version of s5 900f on my s5 909T but I am not sure is that possible.
Can someone explain to me whether it is possible or why not. For example, CyanogenMod is the same ROM for both models (900F and 900T, and mire else s5 with Qualcomm procesor.
