which launcher are you using ?
Nova launcher has option for backing up these data.

"Go Backup" also have option to backup icon layout, wallpapers etc.
I use TB for apps and Go Backup for others.

you actually have "batch" option in titanium backup trial version itself, using which you can backup the apps based on certain scenarios
Clockworkmod backup. Then when switching, go to recovery, advanced restore and restore /data only.

how about in CWM? i mean the nandroid backup
Note that external data stored on the SDcard (such as Maps, textures, ...) will not be included in the Titanium Backup. At least not by default.
CWM compresses all app/storage backups by default afaik.

exactly , cwm > nandroid backup creates backup for ur entrire rom

with titanium app u can also do that , selecting the apps of your choice
there's another app in market named GO backup
u can backup ur app and data too what that

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!

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:

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.

restore touchwiz settings after wipe

Hi all, I just want to ask if there's a way to restore touchwiz settings (icons and widgets positions, home and lockscreen backgrounds,... ) after a full wipe.
Thank you
Zio
using Titanium Backup
Hmm... You're right... I'm not used to restore touchwiz. I always use titanium but never thought that the function to restore missing apps wouldn't restore touchwiz cause it's already there when I install a new rom... Stupid me!
Thanks

I would be careful in restoring TouchWiz as it is a system app isn't it? Could end up in FCs, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Otherwise you could use for instance Apex or Nova, they both got functions to save the settings & desktop.

Why would it? As long as the version is the same, you're good. And you can restore data only
Alternative method .
Nandroid backup .
Flash new rom .
Restore DATA only from advanced Nandroid backup .
As with a TB restore not everything is guaranteed on new firmware . But i have used this method on every SGS3 firmware with no problem .

hello,
on a rom where touchwiz is not installed (pandoriam 4.1.2), would you advise to (or not) restore an app (touchwizz, for example...) from a backup (titanium) from a stock 4.1.1 rom ?
I guess not, but just in case... (or : is it doable to find the 4.1.2 version of apk in the rom's archive and install it from scratch, not reflashing full rom ?)

I do need to amend this and say some launchers will play friendly with Titanium's backup restore feature.. For example, when I use "Next" launcher, Titanium backup will restore the positions of the icons. I Believe it all depends upon the launcher, not necessarily the ROM.

No it doesnt because restoring any system data is not really supported in any way shape or form.
This is one of the things you get used to flashing custom roms.

Only restoring a Nandroid data backup on I9300 does that 100%.

How to backup Home Screen?

Hi. Is there anyway to full backup the Home Screen, including shortcuts, folders, widgets etc? I'm tired to setup it on and on everytime I install a new ROM. I've tried MyBackup Root, but it restores only wallpaper! Thanks
Don't think stock but nova launcher has backup settings. Probably no good for you though
