App Data Backup and Restore on V10? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to backup Whatsapp from my G3 and to restore onto my new v10 (h961n), however I noticed there's no root out there atm and I have no idea how to backup and restore WhatsApp onto the new phone. I need to do this as I use a different phone number on my WhatsApp than my sim card number and I don't have the sim for the WhatsApp number with me.
I normally would use titanium backup but that wouldn't help in this case..... Any ideas?

[Q] How to switch to a different ROM while restoring all apps and messages

Hi,
I have a question which might seem too stupid or trivial.
I am currently running CM 7.1.0 ROM on my Legend. I would like to flash ogo2's Gingerbread ROM while restoring all apps and messages/contacts.
Can somebody help me with the procedure of backing up apps and messages, then flashing the new ROM, then restoring all apps/messages
I have no idea for messages since it doesn't care for me.
If you are not going to format/clean your SD card Titanium backup can be helpful for saving applications with data.
The only app you will need to install is Titanium and it restore applications+appsdata for you after flashing.
Make a backup/restore test drive before proceed with flashing.
For keeping your messages there's some apps in market that might help you, haven't tried them though.

Hi, when i did my root and flashed brand new rom, I used 3 things, I used visionary+ temp root then used Titanium Back for all my apps, I used Go SMS Pro to backup all my sms/mms, and for contacts, I used the built in export contacts to .vcf file the good thing about this is if your contacts are stored on phone (not sim) and you have more than one contact for each name + contact pictures associated they fully restore (so long as you leave the pictures alone on SDcard. If you use only sim for contacts, I have found that you can have problems, only storing the default cantact number, no picture association after backup and restore (lost a whole heap of contacts that way).
How ever, since gaining a lot more knowledge, apparantly you can actually use Titanium to backup your contacts and sms/mms as well as your apps using the "backup system data" from the batch mode, although I haven't tried this yet, I cannot confirm that it works.
for contacts you can export them to sd card, as for the sms and other apps use Titanium Backup

[Q] WhatsApp restore question

Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to restore a previous backup so my chats will come back again. I had some important messages backed up and I would like to see them again.
I have placed the backup files in the whatsapp backup and database folder and when I reinstalled whatsapp it had asked me to restore using an old backup and so I did click ok but the chats never appeared.
I would be very greatful if you could help me restore them.
Thank you.

I got the same issues with old chats not restoring after installing whatsapp. I created a backup before and can see this file in the database folder. Tried moving to the backup folder but makes no difference.
Anyone got a fix?
When you reinstall whatsapp and the backup folder is in the same place on the SD card as when you backed up... I think whatsapp is supposed to ask you if you wanna restore when you go through the whole installation process. I normally just titanium backup just to be safe, but the whatsapp method should work with whatsapp.

Sms app problem!! Help me please!

Hi guys, i've a problem...i had an LG Optimus 3D and yesterday i bought a GSIII...today I root it and i transferred the folder of titanium backup of the LG on the Galaxy...I restored all the apps and now the native SMS app doesnt work,if i try to open the app it crash probably because it is damaged by the data of titanium backup ...What can i do now? I have to reinstall te .apk file of sms app? where can i find it?? HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEE
way out
when you use titanium backup to restore sms
you should restore only Data
that is, when you restore messages, you should restore DATA ONLY
and if you restore app+data, then sms application will always crash, because sms app of one phone dowsnot work on another phone.
Now the way out is,
1. you will have to reflash the rom (donot wipe data)
2. then restore messaging DATA ONLY via titanium backup
All the best

[Q] Where is the Backup by LG program, I understand if you don't know.

Where is the Backup by LG program? I am trying to use Samsung's new Smart Switch program so I don't have to spend days and days restoring everything on my Rooted LG OG to the Note 2. The software needs a backup file but I can't find the "Backup by LG" app that is supposed to be on our phone. Does anyone know how to backup the phone to a local file? I don't think it will use a Titanium Backup. I really don't want to lose my work Whatsapp logs.
Titanium Backup will restore your Whatsapp logs.

Restoring old chat backup to a new number?

I have a sim card which has stopped working, my network provider cut me off after not topping it up regularly enough. This sim card is 11 years old with tons of business contacts in whatsapp and vital messages I need restoring. I just recently went through a process to upgrade the ROM without thinking and although that failed to work out, I put the old rom back only to find out i can no longer restore my original number with all those contacts on. Before I started to flash the ROM i did make a manual whatsapp backup to drive.
Now, I have a new number, installed whatsapp and I have no option to restore the backup from the drive I did earlier on the old number.
Is there any hope here for me to restore my old backup to the new number?
I think, you can't. Even if you synced with the same Google account, you cant restore backup from another number.
