I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1.3 ROM on Evo 4G LTE. I did a full Titanium Backup (system, apps, data) and I'm restoring single apps at a time to troubleshoot a couple of issues. Anyway, I restored my sms app (Handcent) but my sms data is all gone. I imagine it's in one of the system files I have to restore from Titanium Backup, but I don't know which file has the data.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Unless you actually backed up SMS specifically, there will be no backup. Backing up the app and data will not backup your messages.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't back up sms specifically, but it was my assumption that one of the android system files backed up by Titanium held the missing data. I assumed this because every time I've flashed a new ROM, I've gotten my sms data by doing a full Titanium restore. This time however, I didn't restore any system data, just apps & app data, because I'm troubleshooting. So, I feel like one of the system data files has the sms data, but of course I don't know which one it is :/

In Ti BU sms are stored under "Messages (SMS & MMS)"

Hey Guys this is a dumb question. I upgraded and wiped my rom but realized I have a note that i didn't sync with my ever note that i really need. Before my wipe i did a nandroid backup and a titanium backup- anyway I can find said note without having to go back to my previous rom and running Nandroid (i upgraded to HC)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
You should be able to see them when you sign into your evernote account, you may have to sign out and sign back in again. If not, try restoring data for "notes" in TB..

well the thing is....it didn't sync with evernote before i wiped. it was a pretty new note. I did both nandroid and titanium back up before i wiped.
the titanium backup didn't really restore my notes >_>..
Think evernotes stores data on the sdcard but names are not attached to the note. Have you tried restoring + data from Titanium Backup? That is why the app exsists. You could do a Nandroid backup of your current system and then restore your previous backup.
Is there an app that restores everything (apps, data, system settings) you had on your phone prior to installing a new ROM? So when you wipe your data and flash a new ROM, all you have to do is restore from the app and you're set

That would be titanium backup. I'd suggest getting the paid version though as it makes restoring much easier as you can do a batch restore vs one by one. If you are moving from say froyo to gingerbread, which have diff file structures, then you'll only be able to pretty much restore the app without data if I'm correct.

You can use Nandroid bundled in the recovery software (at least Clockwork and 4EXT work for me), just backup before installing a new ROM, it restores almost everything: kernel, system, data, cache, etc.
i prefer two apps
TITANIUM BACKUP PRO AND MYBACKPRO.....DEY BOTH ARE AWESUM
I used Titanium after flashing and it worked great! Thanks

Titanium Backup is an excellant App when used correctly. I would suggest the Pro version. Although I would caution against restoring System Data, it can cause issues down the line. App data for Games and such, usually isn't an issue though.
can it be used to backup sms,call log n contacts?
Hi guys,
I have noob question, I am gonna flash a new ROM to my phone and since i want to backup all my data and apps, i wanted to use TitaniumBackup. here is wat's bothering me, when i click on backup all user apps + system data it even backups all the system default application like calculator, email, weather etc etc. So if i restore this one a new ROM would it overwrite all the newer system default apps?
Upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5
Thanks
depends which option u choose... if i remember correctly there is option "batch missing user application/apps" or something along the line.. if u choose that it will only restore the "MISSING" apps.. >>>> doesnt overwrite anything
no
i'm using it a lot and it didn't.
Do not restore system data on a new rom/firmware .
Apps and data only .

Did you check the titanium KB: http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-howtos.html
Hello, I have a Nexus 6 running Nethunter on top of Cataclysm Android Marshmallow . I would like to back up my texts since I want to get Android N and they would be deleted. Does Nandroid back EVERYTHING up including app data? I have TWRP installed on my Nexus, but looking though the Nandroid back up options I only saw the system directories with options to be backed up. What I apps can I use to backup my messages? I do have root and busybox.
Use sms backup and avoid nandroid. Backing up with nandroid is only Good if you are restoring a botched system. And even then it has issues.
Another possibility is Titanium Backup or the OpenSoucre 0andBackup, both can create and restore a backup for your app data. Which is really night for otp apps or so.
For SMS use a specialized app like SMSbackup or SMSbackup+.

I have tried Titanium Back up, but when I restored my messages all of my SMS apps would not start and think I soft bricked too. I use Hangouts for SMS.
Thanks for the advice! I was going to just use nandroid, until I saw some replies on my thread. I did run a Nandroid backup last night and it did back up my /data partition. (Be spelling that wrong. But the partition was a massive 14 GB so I assume that's where all the users app data hangs out at)

Then use one of the sms backup apps. They may not work with android N. Restoring this type of data is always a crap shoot as it is system data and restoring that can cause issues as you have found out.

I went with SMS Back up and Restore. It looked more reliable than the others since it had material design and it got an update 29 days ago. I will probably be switching back to Marshmallow Wednesday night.

That is what I used when I used to keep my sms. I no longer bother anymore.
I restored my nandroid backup of AICP 7.1.1 but some of my settings were reset to default.. Also my messages were deleted... Is it a known bug??
Anyway to correct this??

yes got the same. Saving/restoring cache do not help for some data, i.e. messages.
You have to backup your messages also with App like SMS & Calllog Backup
