You should always clean flash major updates like from cm13 to cm14.1
Dirty flash always leads to problems

Try titanium backup and backup the necessary apps
And then clean flash LineageOS 14.1 then install the necessary apps from playstore and restore only the app data using titanium backup
Note:- I can't guarantee about your data but you can try this (at your own risk) method it might help
& I haven't used this method i always clean flash after taking necessary backups

Can you or someone tell me the steps?
I have done it before, but i forgot how to... already have de titanium, but im afraid to start the procedure because if i do this titanium backup it will go to the internal storage and when i flash everything i will lost it.
I dont remenber the properly steps.

I have clean flashed cm 14.1, it is a disaster . Most of the apps stopped working and also system webview keep crashing. I want to flash back Cm13 most recent version but couldn't find it anywhere on web or cm website. What should i do ? Could anyone provide me a link to cm13 most updated nightly ?

What exactly does backup do.

A few days ago i put on Siyah neweset 5.0.1 kernel on my S2 and overclocked but my performance hasn't increased much so i'm gonna put Ressurection Remix ROM now but the first step on the guide says to format my phone and i hate loseing my things, is there anyway to keep my stuff on the new ROM D: ? I'm not sure what to do QQ i don't wanna screw this up, also i'm gonna make a few backups, cuz 1 isn't enough.
Over clocking doesn't increase performance per se.
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your current apps. Use SMS backup+ for your texts and call lists.
Images, vids, music etc are unaffected by formatting via CWM.

If you want to switch to another ROM, I guess it's best to backup all your apps via Titanium Backup. As far as I remember, the list displays white apps, red ones and green ones. The red ones are system apps and you should backup them since they differ from ROM to ROM. The white ones are apps which you have installed on your phone (via Google Play...). The green entries are things like "Messages" "Phone call history" and stuff like that.. I guess you can backup them too.
You won't loose your contacts as long as they are stored on your googlemail-account. So no need to safe them.
Then just backup your current ROM via ClockworkMod (I guess one backup is enough :b - If you want to be 100% sure try to backup and right after it finished try to restore the backup. If it works (in 99,9% of all cases) you can just flash your new ROM - if it didn't work try to backup+restore again. As soon as you've got a working backup (I guess the first backup will be OK), flash the new ROM and restore the needed apps via Titanium Backup again. (Just download Titanium Backup right after flashing RR and you will be able to restore every single app again).
More and more ROM devs advise not to restore apps via Titanium Backup, but it always worked fine for me
Hope I helped you,

You dont need to format everything to install a Custom Rom. Just wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache(under advanced).

Don't be ridiculous.
What about something simple like "How to backup data before installing new rom?"
In any case you should have searched google or XDA first as there is plenty of topics on how to flash roms without losing data or how to backup all your apps/appdata etc.

I can't find the button to change tittle, it must be hidden under 3 layers of bedrock.
Anyway, i've been useing this rom since yesterday, it's awesome .. mostly
Some minor disadvantages, some things like Clock crash, won't update some things but that's normal.
My stock benchmark was 6800, now 6200 D:
Probably becouse the rom uses more RAM than stock.. Overall 8.7/10 <3
I'll keep testin.
EDIT: OH YEA! what were those "modems" it asked me when i was installing it?

[Q] Is it possible to flash CM11 over Omni 4.4 without loosing apps?

Hi!
I was trying to find such information but with no luck.
What is my goal? The most painless migration from Omni to CM11 (or revert).
I'm wondering is it possible to preserve apps and their settings but change the whole ROM or is there any other way to move apps and their settings from one ROM to another (I know about Ti backup and other apps like this but anyone tested this solution?) I don't care much about ROM settings but apps are important for me.
This I9100 is my only phone so I can't stuck with "blank" phone.
Thanks in advance!
Answer: Yes and No
You can use Ti backup, then format sys&data, install CM, then Ti restore.
I've done this before when going from ClearRom to Omni.
HOWEVER, this is still quite annoying since some settings and data may likely not be properly backup/restored.
Question:
How can we install CM11 over on top of Omni, without the extra (and error-prone) steps of backup and restore data?
I was just about to ask the same question, then xda found your post for me.
I have a Note 2 ATT, and recent updates of the Omni became power hungry and eats up battery faster than ever before, plus, each time the Omni updates, I lose Gapp and SU. Often it gives me a hard time to get SU back.
So I want to switch to the newly published CM11.
I've spent the past couple hours doing this.
First I tried just format 'system' then install CM11, it boots, but gives me infinite loop on "cyongen account has stopped".
Then I formatted 'system' and 'data', CM11 boots without error. I restored 'data' from recovery, the error loop is back on.
(devik and cache have been deleted each time)
So... is there any way of doing this w/o needing Ti backup/restore?
Thanks a lot for your answer! I was afraid it's not possible
My only hope is that I don't need ROM settings but only apps so maybe it's possible with Ti.
Do you have pro version of Ti backup or is it possible to backup anything usefull with free version.
EDIT:
I'm using "update" script from SU setings to keep it installed over updates and I use PA gapps which also stay after every update

I'm also using the same configuration. But none of them work the way for me as you described.. each update would mess SU up.
As of Ti, I have the paid version, but I'm not sure if you need it to do the same..

Info on Cyanogenmod Updates

I'm currently running a cm 12.1 official nightly that's about a month old on my XT1022 and it says that cm 13 (nightly) is finally available for my phone as an update......
When I install this update, do I lose all my data and start over? All the stock cm12.1 apps that i deleted or replaced, do they return? Also i'm running TK Gapps (the latest release), so do I need to reflash it after installation? My recovery is TWRP (The latest version). Will I have to root again?

System update won't cause data loss but a nandroid backup is always recommended.
Stock apps of cm12.1 won't come but the stock apps of cm13 (this might include common apps like browser or file manager).
Yes you have to flash gapps again. You may not have to root again coz supersu comes with a backup script. (this applies to gapps too, some comes with backup script. So to be safe flash gapps again just in case)

Would I have to flash my custom Kernel (Zapdos) again? Also, What about the apps that Iconverted to system apps?
Yes you have to flash your custom kernel again after updating.
Those apps will be removed you have to download them again and make them system app.
Do one thing, the apps you moved to system, convert them back to user apps and then do a nandroid backup.
This because when you'll update rom data of those apps might remain and conflict when you'll download them again.
When I realized the update on my phone ... the apricativos part were , but I ended up doing a clean . I thought it would appear the option to restore a backup of Moto And normally the Google saves the information , but Will not appeared.

Flashing custom ROM without losing data

[Another noob question]
Is there a way to flash a custom ROM (like CM13) on SGSD then restore old user apps & data? I've read a few articles online but i doubt they work with our device. (Most include making nandroid backups on recovery and then restoring only the data.)
Hoped there'd be a way for this other than backing up all data on a PC.
Thx to whoever answers.

Different rom has different style of data storing.
So data from stock rom/cm10/11 wont work on cm 13.
But still u can try and see if it works.
Get a TWRP recovery,
Go to backup and then backup data only(u will see tick-marks and u will be able to choose what exactly u wanna backup).
Then flash a new rom and restore backed up data.
And u can backup the whole rom and restore back if u don't like the new rom.

On TWRP,u will b able to choose what u really wanna backup.
Eg - kernel,system(os),data,ems,bin
But on cwm there's only one option.
Backing up the entire rom.

Ok, so i'm going to flash a new ROM cause i find the stock rooted slower since my SGSD is really old. Can you suggest some ROMs with better I/O speed, little to no lags, or anything that's suitable for slightly heavy use everyday? Many thanks.

I use Google backup to backup my app list installed from Play Store and also contacts etc. Then I use Swift Backup to backup apps with data and apps that isn't available in PS. For photos and videos etc, you can just use SD card or transfer through PC or sync with Google Photos. Or you can just skip wiping internal storage everytime flashing new rom.

Something is wrong either with your setup or the way you flash. It is not necessary to wipe internal storage everytime you flash a ROM. Looks to be an encryption/decryption issue. Unless you have an incompatible TWRP (which should usually handle encryption/decryption), you should not face this. Wiping/formatting internal storage may be required occasionally like when people try to flash the OOS Pie.
Did you ask in the ROM thread?

Don't use DFE ever and don't go back to a previous version of vendor-firmware. And possibly TWRP.

So here's the thing. Your fone comes naturally with encryption. You go and turn it off by flashing DFE. Then you make a booboo by forgetting to flash DFE after you update vendor/firmware. And now you're sol. Avoid the problem, don't use DFE. If you want to move to a different from, back up your data to external drive, do your fresh install and restore your data as needed. That's what I do and have never had any problems.

ok thanks for clearing it up. However, if i were to not flash DFE on the next update of pixel experience and subsequent updates, will i lose all my data on the next update upon completion of encryption process?

If you've already flashed DFE, you need to remember to flash it immediately after flashing vendor/firmware next time. If you only update PE without updating vendor/firmware you should be fine. Note that in many instances these days updating PE requires updating vendor/firmware, therefore you may need to flash DFE if and only if you already use it. In my case I'm encrypted, therefore all I need to do flash vendor/firmware and PE. I don't use DFE.
Hope this clears the air.
