I've flashed many zips and i dont want to restore them, i only want my files and user apss+data. Does nandroid backup also includes flashed zips & mods?

yes,it will backup everything including system,data,cache,recovery,boot and every partition of your internal storage.the flashed zips and mods are located in the system folder and probably it will be intact after restoring.

Hi
I want to install a costume Rom on my phone
but first I want to make a backup of my stock rom (just in case)
I found a backup option in the CWM app
so i need to know:
dose this option backs up only the Rom or will it back up the kernel also?
Are there better ways to backup the rom?
in general what does the "create a backup" option do? (in CWM in mean)
thanks in advance
best regards
backs up all but not the EFS and Modem

the backup option will backup every thing on you system and data partition but not the kernel and modem..
there is no better way than this..
correct me if I am wrong:
1-the backup options backs up my data (such as save data for games) too
2-if I want to restore to my stock firmware,this backup WON'T do it properly since it won't restore the kernel

It backups everything including kernel except modem and efs. So if you restore it back you will have your stock kernel there

As Bala said Kernel is backed up..so I may be wrong here..but I read somewhere that kernel is not backed up..so anyways..you will have the stock kernel if I am wrong..
the games data is stored on your internal sdcard..so it wont be backed up..and in between if require a factory reset it will be lost..
thanks guys
you helped me so much (and fast)
and one more thing i remembered right now:
the backup will be a CWM flashable zip file.right?

To restore you go to backup and restore and select restore(from internal or external sd card) depending on where the back up was created.
Do I just go into TWRP/install/choose zip file?
I made a nandroid backup with EFS/Modem backed up as well. If I don't like this rom, just restore everything minus the modem/efs, right?
Hi everyone. I'm about to flash a ROM and see that TiBu has the ability create an update.zip file to make restoring much faster. I have a concern with this though. Usually when you create a backup you only want to create one with User Apps only. If anything you may make one with User Apps + System data but just not restore the system data because it can mess with the ROM. When you create the update.zip file and flash it in, doesn't it restore all the System Data too, messing things up?

The update.zip (I always rename it to apps.zip) is made however you back up your apps, so it can be with or without data, it's up to you. I usually make mine without data.

So when you originally backup you choose "User Apps" only, not "apps + data," correct?
Also, what's the deal with creating an update.zip for installing TiBu in recovery mode?

Correct, just select user apps.
Creating the .zip is just an easy to get all your apps back. Just flash it in recovery. Takes less time than downloading tibu from the app store then running a restore.

I would have to flash in two zips then, right? The update.zip which flashes in TiBu and the apps.zip

No, just the one zip, TiBu should be in the backup you made.

Interesting. Thanks a lot for your help.
I just tried to create an 'Update.zip' and it didn't create the zip. It only created a .tar entry for every one of the apps I chose.
i have unlocked bootloader, installed custom recovery by NEXUS prime, rooted my phone
Now i want to know if install the the custom mods of apps ,toggle panels etc >>
q1- how to uninstall these customs mods??
q2- when i do factory reset what will happen do these custom mods changed permanently in my stock ROM???
q3- before installing anything i have been suggested to make recovery of that, now how can i make recovery of toggle panel or icons??
1.: Generally, there is no uninstall method. Workaround: Make a nandroid backup prior to installing and restore that backup for uninstalling.
2.: A Factory reset just wipes your data, cache, dalvik cache partitions. The mods you mean are installed in system partition.
3.: Do a nandroid backup after you installed the mods as well, so you can restore it anytime you want to have it back.

A nandroid backup is one of the most important things with custom roms.
In CWM and TWRP there is a backup option that will make a backup of your whole phone. So if you restore it later it will be the exact same as when you made the backup.

to reflash i must needed that original ROM that's the main problem sir
I use to flash new Roms every time. But then everytime I have to install the basic apps again from playstore .
To avoid this reinstalling , I made titanium backup of apps and I restore apps on different Roms from titanium backup app. But here problem is I have to root the rom to use titanium backup on every rom.
I just want to ask , how can I make a flashable zip of some important apps so that with new rom flashing I can flash this all zip too....so that apps get installed without root.
And as flashing from twrp install gapps in system partition ...so can i install apps in data partition from twrp recovery ?

Look carefully there is an option for making flashable zips for backup in Titanium backup itself so just find it and use it but i would suggest to try and check it first because it doesn't always work so try it first before fully relying on it.

Yes I tried it too and it is not working for me. There is option of making update.zip from titanium backup. But when I flash thi zip from twrp,nothing happens. No app gets installed .

There is an app in playstore app2zip or something developer @jrummy
please try that too and report back .
First make backup of all apps in titanium with data. Then just tap on "tickmark" button on top-right corner. Here find "Recovery Mode" and Run recovery mode with desire apps with data. Name it whatever you like.
Now Go to twrp and flash that "Recovery.zip" file that you created in flashing zip. Restart phone after 1-2 times to make it stable. (you will probably can get app crash frequently by flashing zip"
But I think in this method too you need installed titanium backup for "app-data" installation. (All apps will installed without titanium backup but you need TB for data installation)

I think miui has better options for local backup which u will not find in custom roms. I hope our devs should have included this in custom roms.
If i remember There are 2 options in miui
1-User settings
2-Apps and data
If u moving from one from custom rom to another then its always better to backup and restore only "apps and data".. Never restore" User settings". Coz restoring user settings brings bugs and crashes. Coz different custom roms got diffrent tree.
Make sure if u backup using titanium then never backup user settings. Only backup apps and data.
