Hi everyone. I made a backup with labels in titanium backup but I do not know how to get it back on my new device. I see all the apps. What do I need to do in order to restore based on this?

Hi All
And apologies for a noob question..
I have MRC3.2 running on my Hero and am thinking of upgrading to a 2.1droid rom... My question is this if I backup using nandroid backup thingy will it reflash the rom back to orginal or will it just restore my setting and apps etc(which is what I want to do) or should I use sprite backup and restore that way??
regards

A nandroid backup bacicaly takes a snapshot of the current state it is in, then will restore exactly how it is, so apps, settings, AND ROM. Its like system restore on your PC I think.
So yeah, if you want to change ROM, research that Sprite as I'v never heard of that. I used Titanium backup last time, It restored my apps, settings, sms,... Only problem was that It didn't save my facebook links to my contact in phone book. I'll have to do them again manually, when I can be arsed!!!
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.
NOOB question - restoring after flashing a new ROM
I get how to do a Nandroid back up...
I get how to do a Titanium Backup...
I would think you do a nandroid backup in case you want to undo everything and go back to a stable ROM and applications...
I would think that when you try out a new custom ROM you'd back up with Titanium and then simply restore your system data and applications with data after you flash the new ROM... BUT most of the new ROM's come with the instructions not to restore from Titanium as it may make things unstable....
So what do you frequent flashers do?
Do you ignore the Dev's telling you not to restore with TI or do you reinstall everything from scratch?
Is there a better way?
Sorry if this is a dumb question...I have hit the thanks button to many of you!
Thanks to all - great forum...
Personally, I restore user apps and selectively some system stuff. Like if I have a newer version of maps, then I'll restore. If it's dialer storage with mms apn etc then no. Every time I try to restore text that way it just screws up my messaging. I do restore bookmark data, launchers, widgets, email, keyboards. Best bet is to set backup limit to 2, backup prior to flash, backup before restoring. restore what you'd like if something is broken, restore data to proper system app. I strongly recommend not restoring dialer storage, just download SMS backup and restore
Over time and experience you'll get what you can and can't restore through titanium backup, from there you can create a custom label for system items that you will restore, and just back those up vs everything
Also, you can restore with titanium backup from nandroid backups now, just in case

hello,
I want to know which is the best way to take a complete backup of all my apps and restore it with the app data when i install a new app? as installing all apps is pretty cumbersome when u migrate to a new rom.
thanks for the suggestions
