I'm considering momentary switching ro android 4.1.2 from Gingerbread. Althou i have great battery life, but i also have Note 8.0 with 4.1.2 and i like some features not included in 2.3.6.
Anyway, if i do nand backup via CWM or via stock backupwill that contain installed apps, system settings, apps settings, desktops, icons, launcher and its settings? What else? Is this backup something like creating ISO image of whole hard drive partition on PC, or I s it just firmware backup?
If so, is there any way to create image of everything i have in phone including apps and settings?

From what I've experienced, yes, it will. It's a mirror copy of your phone.
Everything except the modem & the external SD. Restoring one also won't help you if you have borked EFS/IMEI, do a separate EFS backup with kTool/similar as well.

I like to try different roms, but the problem is i always need to insall all my aps en settings. What is THE BEST way to have all my aps i previously had instantly when i install a new rom?
make a nandroid backup before you install a new rom, and restore it when you're done. though i had issues with the apps stored in the ext partition of my sdcard. i'd like to see the ext partition being saved and restored with dd, but for now nandroid does it via tar. usually works, but not always, at least for me. had to wipe just yesterday for this exact reason.

I do this, but i actually want to use my aps on multiple roms. A nandroid backup restores the rom completely, thats not what i want.

You can't! Even if you don't wipe, the APN list is going to be part of the ROM, so will replace any APN list you may have had on your device beforehand.
The best you can probably do is backup your APN list via an application like this, and then install the application again after you've installed a new ROM (assuming you've wiped) to restore the APN list back again.

Dave
apn list is not a thing i care about, i know the settings. It's a lot less work than reinstalling 30 aps
if you are using apps2sd then don't backup/restore the ext partition. apps will be kept this way, but not the market db. so if you install an app through the market in the first rom it will be installed in the other rom, but not in the other market.
i don't think there is a way to share the settings. you could theoretically move /data to the ext partition aswell, but it will break at least if you switch between 1.5 and 2.1 roms...

Sorry - when you said "aps en settings" I presumed you meant your APNs rather than your applications.
Titanium Backup is what you need.

AppManager works well too, although it wont back up protected apps. I just redownload them from Market instead.
Then I use AppsInstaller to reinstall everything. Can be time consuming with 90+ apps but it's better than having to download them all again.
I haven't wiped since I got Titanium so that might work better.
Also, if you look in the Themes and Software section I think there's a PC program that will let you back-up and restore your apps.
Hi.
I want to find out wich is the BEST COMPLETE BACKUP of any android mobile phone program and if i can install it to an UNROOTED android phone.
I hear that clockwork is the best but i don't know if this program can work fine with UNROOTED phones because it suggest to install it only to rooted phone.
So please the persons who KNOW can answer to me with proof.
A LOF OF THANKS FOR ALL.
gotta have root for those backup programs.
Sync your contacts to Google and there you have a back up of them. Any paid apps from the market will always be allowed to be downloaded by you since you paid for them.

So isn't there any program that it can do a complete backup of any android phone WITHOUT rooted or sing into google?

Not that I'm aware of. What are information are you trying to back up?

Everything so even the mobile doesn't open at all i can restore it and recovered at the position it was when i was make the backup.

O...nope. your definitely going to have to root to have access to that.
"I love my Springfield XD40"
firstly you need root for any significant backup, withought it the best thing i would sujest is connecting your phone to a computer and just copy everything over, that will save most apps and things. But even with root i am not aware af any comprehensive backup app because there is so much to backup: ROM, Kernel, Contacts, Data, Apps as well as different locations where they are: OS storage, internal SD and external SD.
despite this i have found helpfull combinations of:
App Backup & Restore
Mobile Backup II
MyBackup Root
Titanium Backup
ROM Manager
some need root, some don't and some are partialy limited without root, but all were helpfull and have saved my rear a few times

There is a way. Bring a storage device like a thumb drive and go into a sprint store or a radio Shack. They have machines (cellebrite) that can backup contacts pictures video and sd contents. Or you can do it yourself buy pushing everything to dropbox.

Yeah, that's not "everything". If you want EVERYTHING backed up on your phone, you're going to need root. Normal "copy everything off of the SD card" doesn't get you things like app data or preferences/settings (like ringtone and notification tone settings, as two out of a thousand possible examples).
Now, if your device has fastboot enabled and you have an on-hand recovery image, you can likely
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
(make appropriate substitutions for your on-hand recovery image file and device), and then do a nandroid backup from there. Aside from the data written to your storage device (on-device or SD card), that shouldn't permanently modify your system in any way.
With the titanium backup that it work ONLY on a rooted mobile we can make A FULL COMPLETE BACKUP of any android mobile.
And when i am saying full complete backup i mean(Rom, kernel, apps, settings e.t.c.) ALL the things that it has the mobile this time.
And after a change of rom or kernel i can restore ONLY the apps and settings to the changed rom/kernel?
A LOT OF THANKS.

TB doesn't backup kernel and its settings, widgets placed on homescreen, and certain system apps when you reflash same Rom. Only one way is a android backup which is same as an image backup in windows.

So there isn't any program that backups EVERYTHING so you can restore it by choice everything you want....
Clockwork doesn't do a COMPLETE FULL BACKUP of any mobile?
I search one program that can make a A COMPLETE FULL BACKUP of any android mobile device like samsung galaxy s2.
Clockwork backs up your entire system. Including apps installed to sd card, but it won't backup info on your sd card normal storage (the one you can use a usb mass storage).
clockwork nandroid backup+regular backup of sd card = full backup of everything on your phone.
Of course, successful restore of the backup without modifications will only work in phones with the same model (no restoring a gingerbread backup of an htc device to an ics samsung device for example)
So clockwork can make a FULL COMPLETE BACKUP of entire monbile into an external usb har disk corrrect?
Then you can restore ONLY the apps if you install a custom rom to the mobile or the restore must be a complete and not a part of it.
A 'nandroid' which is done with clockworkmod or twrp or amon-ra is a complete backup...
Titanium backup does an app by app backup...
Titanium backup will also let you open the backup and pick out apps to restore if you use clockworkmod or twrp

Yes but not to a USB hard disk. You can chose from internal or externa SD card.
After that you can move it line any other file.
Pretty comon on flashaholics. They try a ROM and a few minutes later flash his entire system(nandroid backup) back.

What is the twrp.
And the complete system backup you do with clockwork can toy restore ONLY the apps from this backup to a custom rom or kernel that may you have installed at the mobile like samsung galaxy s2?
Where is the clockwork and titanium backup topics so i ask here to.
A LOT OF THANKS.
One more time .. recovery=clockworkmod and does a backup equivalent to an image file in windows. You can save backup to pc, flash other roms and restore your user apps+data from titanium backups and start using. If not happy, restore cwm backup and it'll be exactly how you had it before. Do a nandroid backup, transfer to pc and look inside using winrar, 7zip etc and you'll see what it saves.
When flashing different roms you may or may not restore data from apps via TB as certain data may affect stabily, each custom rom lets you know. For TB best to gooble search their site for guide, troubleshooting, q&a.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda premium
So bottom line is that i can make a complete full backup with clockwork and then can make apps restore with titanium backup correct?
If i leave the oficial rom and change the kernel then i have any problems from the apps restorations?
Nandroid does the full image backup everything, system, boot, apps, data just like windows image restore
Titanium backup for apps + data is great when using same apps across different roms .. read up on its site

Everytime i switch roms all my app icons are deleted while all the app's data and folders on my internal sd card are intact... The only way i know to get my icons back is reinstalling every single app i had before which is truly annoying. Anyone knows how to keep all apps when switching roms ?
Thanks.
PD: Avoid the use of titanium backup, its stated not to use on almost every JB rom.

You switch for new versions of a ROM or switching for one ROM to other ROM ?
I believe the best option for recover your applications is the Titanium.
I believe you had this problem because the /data folder is different for Rom to Rom.

Na, i have no issues updating a rom, thing is when i change to another rom.
no other way to fix it without titanium? cm10 (which im currently on) clearly states not to use titanium backup
What? If you change ROMs, you generally have to do a full wipe. That means losing apps. Titanium Backup is one of the only ways to backup/restore data for user apps, or other apps that are similar.
did you switch from an ICS Rom to a JB Rom ? you cant migrate ICS apps to JB Roms - it simply doesn´t work
and you can use "MyBackup" to backup and restore apps ...
Both apps work very fine, but i think titanium is still better
Greetings,
I'm loving my GS4 so far and I've gotten it rooted and just wiped data and flashed gruesomewolf_sacs_custom_rom.
My question for ya'll (and forgive me if this is in the wrong place) but how do you handle going quickly and easily between ROMs without brain damage?
What I mean by this is yes I did a Titanium backup and SMS backup before I flashed the new ROM however you still have SO much to restore after you flash a new ROM. I'm the kinda guy who tweaks all my settings, widgets, ringtones and such just the way I like them and I hate when I have to do that all over again. So yes, I am able to restore apps, and some data from the Titanium backups but I still have to go back through and set all my ringtones and all my widgets and settings within certain apps all over again.
That's probably just the name of the game and I need to get used to it if I plan on flashing new ROMs but I'm just wondering what's the easiest way to back the most up and get the most restored?
Thanks for all your input!
I felt the same way as you when I switched ROMs. It was such a pain to reload everything customize it the way you had it before.
My solution was simply use TitaniumBackup prior to flashing the next ROM and Batch backup all the apps and app data that you will want.
TitaniumBackup also has a Batch Restore function. So I just use that function after flashing the ROM. I think it can also restore designated ringtones as long as you back up that system file that contains the ringtone selection. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which one that is.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah that's kind of what I'm doing, I guess I'll need to explore Titanium Backup a bit more. I'm curious if it actually backs up and can restore system settings as well. It does a pretty decent job of backing up apps + data but I never know if when doing a restore if I should restore the system data as well because it could be different from ROM to ROM.
Thanks for the advice!
Hi guys, I was wondering is it possible to use Titanium Backup to make a full backup of my S2, and when i say full backup, I mean a Full Image of the Smartphone?
Like we can do with a PC or Mac?
If yes can someone point me to a guide?
If not, is there any app capable of doing it?
Thanks in advance.
No. Titanium cannot do this. A nandroid (CWM) backup is the closest thing to this; backs up everything except your external SD card & modem. It is essentially a 'snapshot' of the phone at the time you took it & if you restore one, it will revert your phone almost exactly to the state it was in when you took the backup (apart from the external SD card & modem if you've changed it as previously mentioned).
No, it is not possible to do a total 'image' of an Android phone as you would a PC, but if you do a Nandroid backup & also Titanium backup your apps regularly (either weekly/every few days or before you make changes to your setup), that will enable you to either recover or revert any changes quickly/easily.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome
Just one more thing....if your on 4.1.2 make sure you bkup preload or nand wont restore.
Backup of S2.
Hello, i too would like to find a "way" or a "guide" to do a full backup of everything on my phone with a single click. Yes I'm New to it all... and before i rooted with siyah i backed up my phone via (KIES) followed the youtube root video Yep! Rooted my phone happy as larry THEN BANG! Kies wont recognise my device! Backup On My Pc USELESS! and yes i am at my wits end to try recover them text messages but ive started from scratch now on the dark side, now i wouldent mind a FULL BACKUP of everything .. except sd, so i can bring my phone back to samsung land get my contacts etc.. then cross back over to the darkside.
list of installed apps:
titanium , es file explorer , mobile odin , my files (lol) , air droid , spooffw , busybox , triangle away , sms backup & restore , bluetooth file transfer +++ more tried everything lol.
Thanks For Reading!
For 4.1.2 go with philz kernel. Go into recovery and tick preload Bk up and you will have a working nand on stock jelly bean read about it:thumbup: For custom Roms like cm aokp id use dorimanx 9.whatever and use hawkerpauls preload Bk up and restore scripts. Or you could just use hawker scripts for both jb and custom Roms.check to see if what ever your backing uses preload.
