Install stock rom from titanium backup - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had taken the titanium backup in stock rom. Now I have installed some other rom which is lagging I want my stock rom back. So can I use the same titanium backup

I don't think so. I believe Titanium Backup if for apps only.

We cant

They're correct. This is why it's always suggested to make a backup in your custom recovery - called a nandroid. Otherwise you'll have to install the stock firmware and re-root.

Question about nandroid backup

I get tired installing everything with titanium backup. If I use a nandroid backup can I go from ROM's such as comm romm 1.3, to Evil fascination without use of titanium backup?
Would I just go into recovery and go to advanced restore and restore just the data? Would this screw up the whole ROM or would I get my system settings and apps back?
Another quick question, and off topic:
I have update.zip on my sd card from flashing CWM many moons ago. I'm on version 3 of CWM, do I still need update.zip on my phone?
You can get rid of the update.zip if you're using CWM 3.x (or even most 2.5.x). If you aren't applying update.zip to get into CWM, then the update.zip is useless.
As for restoring data from an nandroid backup, you could possibly do that, but you'd have to restore only data, and even then you may run into problems. It's likely safest to use Titanium Backup, and only backup non-system apps/data. I just did a restore today via Titanium Backup, and it only took like 5 minutes, and I didn't see any hassle with it. Did you purchase Titanium Backup, or are you using the free version? Using the paid version may make restoring a little more painless for you.

[Q] samsung galaxy s 2 restoring nandroid backup

Hi guys,
I am facing a very curious and seemingly common problem.I have litening rom installed on my gs2. Now i want to change the ROM but dont want to lose my data. Taking a nandroid backup I noticed that there is a special option in CWM called advanced restore.Using that you can restore parts of your nandroid backup instead of taking a full restore.
Now my question is that, once I have installed a new ROM can I take a restore of only the data part of my nandroid backup to my current ROM? The backup was taken when I had litening ROM installed. Will it return all my apps , app data and other things as they were with litening rom to my new ROM ?
You should have used Titanium Backup to restore apps and app data, restoring system data across different ROMS is not typically recommended but can be done, it is totally up to you. Nonetheless, your best bet to restore any or all of this is not a nandroid backup, that is best for restoring an entire ROM, to restore just apps or data or whatever, use Titanium Backup. So my advice would be, create another nandroid of your new ROM, restore back to your old ROM, download Titanium backup, backup apps and data using that. Restore back to new ROM, download titanium backup and choose option, restore missing apps and data.

[Q] Restoring a nanodroid backup

After making a droid backup and later installing a custom kernel will i be able to get back to original sony stock thing ? by single press of restore of a backup ?
Nandroid backups do indeed contain a kernel

things to test before using custom rom,not tutorial,question post.

In Theory ,could i get a custom rom,delete all preinstalled rom apps and reuse the stock android's apps?
for example,could i make a backup of all user apps on my android,flash a custom rom,remove all apps in the custom rom and reinstall all the apps from the original android without losing data? Like Titanium Backup?
You can backups all your apps with Titanium Backup and then restore them after installing Custom ROM.
