Is there anyway to go from Stock 4.2.2 rooted to 4.3 rooted (released on these forums).
I just want to know if I can backup ALL my data and files with TWRP, install the new rom, and restore the data and files?
Will doing a backup of "Data", "System" and "Boot" in TWRP backup my photos and downloads and music and such?
Any help? I just want the 4.3 Rom while maintaining data.

Best way to backup everything is to use Titanium Backup from the play store. It's a root app and works great.

It's best to not restore anything.

Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying message that comes on whenever I enable GPS? Its so annoying to have to see that every time I turn it on. Also, I am currently rooted running the stock 4.1.1 I believe; whatever release came with the Note 2 and I am looking for a decent ROM. I dont have alot of experience and dont wanna mess up my phone.

Thanks for the reply. In terms of using titanium backup I forget what is the proper procedure for wiping and flashing the rom. Do I backup apps and user data and when restoring only restore missing apps with data? Also whats the process us I ng twrp to flash. Ive only flashed 1 rom on my gnex and my friend helped me do it so im lost and I dont wanna brick my phone

Basically its backup all your apps and data from apps u downloaded, like facebook,twitter,etc.. the user apps, system apps, the ones that come with the rom dont ever restore causes problems rom to rom.. after u put the rom on your ext sd card..twrp, go to wipe proced to wipe data factory reset,cache,dalvik cache, install from storage the rom, flash that, then reboot... I personally purchased an app called go backup for all my backups and restore.. it only let's up backup your user apps not system apps so u can't screw up your restore, what I do is backup with go, then flash my new rom, after the new rom is up and running re downldownload go from market and restore from there, all apps are saved dont even have to log into anything again...

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?

Ahaha, sorry if I'm being to noob, but I was able to sucessfully install my apps, how do I get my contacts and app data back? I see a lot of contacts and data related files but do I have to manually placed them in the right folder or there's an easier way?
Thanks!

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!
Stay good!

Hi,
Recently i have been mucking about with flashable .zip themes but being an idiot didnt back up before i started flashing and now some of my icons have changed and i was wondering if there is any way to get them back to stock.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I know i have been a giant idiot
One way, I think would be to reflash your current rom.

You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.

i just use the stock firmware that came withthe phone so im unsure on how to reflash them
All in that thread I suggested you read although its probably easier for you to flash stock from Odin....

maybe u can use a launcher, like adwlauncher it let you change icons of your apps
If I wear to do an advanced restore and only remote the /system would that make any difference to my personal data, as it is syst apps that are modified such as the sms and phone app

Or, if you have Nova Launcher installed, you could go to Nova Settings>Look and Feel>Icon Themes>Default or Stock Jelly Bean

I already use action launcher and have been for a while now, but the problem is that parts inside the all have been changed and also my apps on the block screen
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
In that case, I think one option for you to preserve stock look/icons would be to heed the earlier post/s by rootsu - flash stock firmware from your region/country using Odin. It shouldn't take that long.

Ok, I will back up all my data, then try restoring /system to see if that works and if that doesn't ill lash the stock firmware

Right. When I mentioned earlier about taking Nandroid backups before flashing things, that probably would have been a good time to bring that up.

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.
