Hi there, so basically (as you'll probs see in my sig) I used to have a HTC Desire HD. On that was a brilliant ROM, spent ages on it and it had LOTS of data and apps. One time I backed it up through Clockworkmod and a few days later it bricked. I managed to breath life into it but I couldn't restore that file because I moved it to my PC and so much time had passed that I couldn't find it. Recently I found the backup and saw the apps and app data was still inside (opened using winrar). Is there any way I can move this app data and the apps to my Galaxy Note 2? I had a Titanium backup but it was on my phone memory which got wiped, the SD card was untouched. If there's an incompatibility between HTC and Samsung recovery backups could I use my dad's HTC Wildfire to put the app data on then Titanium backup and move the apps and app data over?
Sorry if it's a long read.
Huzi.
Ok i did the same thing, i have back up files but the phone is stuck on samsung screen.

Any user guide out there for if you are replacing your phone with a new phone of the same kind andwhat to do in trying to getting everything onto the new?
I am replacing my broken htc thunderbolt with a new htc thunderbolt. I want everything to copy over, even the data in memory on the phone. I assume something can be done. I've searched the q/a forum briefly but thought i would just post a question.
I'm guessing your not rooted. If you are you can use titanium backup.
Otherwise you will be limited in your choices and you can't backup data. Use astro file manager to backup apps. sms backup and bookmarks sort and backup. That's all I know of. Also make sure your contacts are saved to google.

Oh, great. I didn't think of looking that up, man. I will definitely go and get familiar with it. Thanks!

It's very easy especially if you just simply move your memory card from your old phone to new phone. You should backup your apps first though. I use Astro for that.

What does that mean ?
When I got my eris replaced, I nandroided the old one and flashed it back to stock before sending it back. Then I rooted my new eris and flashed my nandroid back.
Assuming your rooted and keeping the sd card from the broken phone, just insert old sd card in new phone, root, and restore nandroid backup. You'll be exactly where you left off.
I have a Motorola Photon with a cracked screen. Sprint insurance sent me a replacement Photon.
I'm trying to use Titanium to do a complete backup of the broken phone to restore to the new phone. Old phone backed-up (system and user apps) elements are around 580, but when attempting to restore to new phone, it only sees about 220.
The TB wiki doesn't offer any help.
Please, someone with knowledge help me out as I need to get this busted phone shipped back soon.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure your filters are set correctly and the new phone is rooted.

Using titanium with system apps can be problematic. Try doing just user apps.

I just did this because I had to wipe my phone (don't ask).
1. Root (the AIO root worked for me--I was on 2.3.4).
2. Install Titanium Backup.
3. Put the SD card in if it isn't already--the one with your backups).
4. Restore only the user apps and data.
Should get you back where you were before--it did for me, except because I installed this de-bloated ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297 ), GO Launcher noticed a couple of missing widgets (from the stock ROM when I backed-up the data for GO) when I restored it. I'm just in the process of replacing them with the market equivalents.
I'm a total nub to the Photon, but had done a lot with the Epic 4G. Some terminology differences to go through. PM me if I can help.
I'm going to be getting an S3 in the next few days and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to bring all my apps & settings from my one x with me? I have titanium backup pro.
Would I just back it up to sd card then load from Titanium once I get my S3?

Sure u can. Just copy the TB up folder to your pc then once you got your new phone just copy the TB folder to your new phones sd card. But to avoid any force close just restore app only and make sure you havnt back up any system app from you previous phone.

What you can do is set your titanium backup location to a folder on your external sd, and then batch backup all of your downloaded apps + data (dont backup system apps) on your old phone to that folder. Move that sd to your new s3 and re-download TB. Point the backup location to the existing folder on your sd, and then batch restore all of your apps (dont restore data, unless its for specific apps such as games).
And how would you copy sms/mms-messages, contacts, logins (facebook etc.) and mail (that is: not gmail, but k9mail) from an old Desire to the S3 ?
TB does not seem to do this well, that is to say, not when I just tried this.
It does not even offer a 'restore' option from a just created backup, since it's just created and does not regard it as from a different phone.
Are there any other apps that do android phone-migration well?
I have installed a few custom ROMs, but i'm a noob when it comes to phones, and every time i switch ROMs i start fresh with apps: redownloading them (about 100 from amazon and google), reconfiguring my home pages, and all games start back at level 1. it takes a long time to do all this, but i assumed that switching ROMs is like switching PCs (you need new drivers, you need to reinstall programs, etc, so you can't just copy A to B).
is there some better way to automate this so that any of the following are true?
-my apps reinstall themselves in a step or two?
-my homepages are reconstructed automatically? i'm guessing this is the least likely, since homepages/launchers/etc probably differ per ROM.
-my game/app data is saved and restored easily? my kids don't want to lose their ice age village
i have titanium backup free, which i have used for complete backups in the event of a phone crash or something, but i don't know about app transfers across ROMs.
thanks for any help. this would save me a ton of time in the future!!
(i'm going from rooted stock to CM10 on my nook tablet, if that matters).
back up your apps onto your sd card with this app
Some launchers (such as apex? not sure) allow you to save your configurations onto sd card and restore them later.
and not sure about game data, but maybe find the folder for the game on the sd card, make a back up and rename it back to previous folder name when you install new rom?
hope i helped
Use utilities like Go Backup or Titanium Backup .
They will help you restore app+data so you are always with current data.
Go Backup helps you restore call log as well

Definitely in favor of the Titanium Backup, 'cos it can also backup/restore wifi passwords, accounts, sms, bluetooth pairings...
Hi guys,
next days i will change my htc sensation XE with galaxy nexus and i need to make a perfect backup/restore between the phones.
My idea is to not lose the data of any application and hope that restore are succesfully due to "microsd" vs "no microsd" internal memory phones.
Titanium backup remain the best software or there are valid lternatives ?
Thank you
It's recommended not to restore application data between phones/ROMs. It can cause a lot of force closes, incompatibilities and errors. Also, you need to be rooted to restore data. You should always do a clean install when you get a new phone, which just involves adding your Google account, letting the phone restore contacts, apps, settings etc automatically, and then reconfiguring all your apps. It doesn't take too long to do that if you do it quickly. For the SD contents, don't backup the entire card and restore it to the new phone. Just backup your personal files like pictures, videos, music, downloads etc and copy them back to the new phone. Don't copy any folders when you don't know what they're for. It won't cause any problems if you do, but there'll be a lot of leftover junk which isn't required in some automatically created folders.

Just use titanium backup....for backup of user dictionary, contacts and messages - use GO Backup.
For sd card things, 1st let your phone create folders itself...now replace those with you sd card contents.....apk resize themselves automatically so you won't have any problem regarding display or incompatibility
