I just switched from Nexus 5 to Max 2. For Nexus phones and most of AOSP based rom (Lineage, RR), there is an option to restore your previous phone's (or rom's) apps and data when you boot your new phone first time. (Link)Obviously, LE's stock rom does not have this option.
I am fine to install all of my apps manually, but I also would like to have the apps' data restored (like setting, preference). Is there any way to get this option on stock rom? Or Any other method to restore data to new rom? Titanium backup?

Hi, i've got myself a new SGS2 a month ago (first android phone) and i rooted it with CF-ROOT yesterday.
Im running Android 2.3.3 with KF3 kernel, and my question is if i can try out CyanogenMod by using "Restore" in CWM, and go back to my own stock ROM when i please ? Will all of my settings and apps save when i'll jump back to stock ? i did a backup already (backup of apps and data aswell separately) and wanted to make sure before doing anything. Oh and, when i'll install CyanogenMod, will i be able to restore my apps AND all data (photos, videos, random files) on it ?

Yes it is possible to switch between the stock rom and cyanogen.
That's how I use it.
I have a backup of my stock rom and another with cyanogen on it.
Normally I use the stock rom. After a few new nightlies I make a new backup of my stock rom and restore my cyanogen rom. Then I update cyanogen to see what changed and if it is ready to be used as my daily rom. If it's not I perform a backup of my updated cyanogen and restore my stock rom.
And so on until Cyanogen is good enough.
Things like photos, video, music etc should be fine (which doesn't mean a backup isn't a good idea some people lost their pictures at the beginning.)
You could backup/restore your apps with Titanium Backup. But I wouldn't recommend it. It's better to start from a nice and clean source without old rubbish.

just remember your original kernel and ROM.. other than that everything should be fine. Always backup your backup lol
Hello guys,
I have a question about that PACman rom from this thread. Currently I have this ParanoidAndroid rom with modified FXP136 kernel. Have I to do a full wipe of my phone to install it? Teoretically this and that are same (4.1) version of rom and I don't really want to delete all apps configs, PA settings, etc.
Or if I have to, there is second question - how can I backup EVERYTHING (except rom of course, CWM backup is not what I want) - this include apps, application configs, wifi settings, last calls, sms (ok, this can be skipped, because I already knew and used SMS Backup And Restore or something like that), even icons, etc from Trebutchet?
Ouh, I would do a nandroid backup and after that:
1. Flash pacman without wiping data, flash the recommend kernel for pacman and see if it boots, if not restore your nandroid backup.
2. Back up your data/apps using titanium backup, maybe titanium could backup trebutchet with all data (+icons), but I'm not sure

If you don't care about the apps that you have installed, and just want to save the PA config then you can use the backup part of paranoid preferences. Then when you install the PAC rom just restore with your PA settings.
Cheers,
Evil.
Thanks for your respond.
I wiped /cache partition and installed this PACman rom. It runs fine without wiping, just Paranoid settings was overwritten, but it's not big problem at all, whole settings of the phone stayed. Next day I'll write if I'll get any problem with this or not (I have to test everything).
By the way, can anyone tell me which apks or just applications are in this PACman rom by default? I want to check if there is everything what should be.
Everytime i switch roms all my app icons are deleted while all the app's data and folders on my internal sd card are intact... The only way i know to get my icons back is reinstalling every single app i had before which is truly annoying. Anyone knows how to keep all apps when switching roms ?
Thanks.
PD: Avoid the use of titanium backup, its stated not to use on almost every JB rom.

You switch for new versions of a ROM or switching for one ROM to other ROM ?
I believe the best option for recover your applications is the Titanium.
I believe you had this problem because the /data folder is different for Rom to Rom.

Na, i have no issues updating a rom, thing is when i change to another rom.
no other way to fix it without titanium? cm10 (which im currently on) clearly states not to use titanium backup
What? If you change ROMs, you generally have to do a full wipe. That means losing apps. Titanium Backup is one of the only ways to backup/restore data for user apps, or other apps that are similar.
did you switch from an ICS Rom to a JB Rom ? you cant migrate ICS apps to JB Roms - it simply doesn´t work
and you can use "MyBackup" to backup and restore apps ...
Both apps work very fine, but i think titanium is still better
Does CWM have the capacity to run a restore from a Stock ROM while the ROM in action is Dorian RED PILL? Or would that cause infintely bad issues?
If not possible, I am interested in attempting to develop something that could allow this to take place!

What do you want to restore, the previous ROM or apps and data?

I was wanting to restore apps/data. I didn't back up my texts before I switched ROMS so I wanted to go back, back up texts then come back to R.P.
Restoring data would only work ok if the roms are very similar: same custom or stock rom base which contains almost the same apps and version. But, restoring stock data to a custom rom will most likely just give you a bootloop.
Titanium backup already has an option to selectively restore apps and data from a nandroid backup, though it doesn't fully work when changing android versions (gb to ics).
It would be great if you could make an alternative to selectively restore apps and/or data from nandroid backups using a UI.

ARGH...that's what I was thinking. I'll start looking into an alternative and see what I can come up with.
I have an HTC Sensation with a Sense rom installed. I have a nandroid backup and also titanium backup for the apps.
I want to install CM11 rom, recover some apps with titanium, change to ART and use the rom for a while. And then, make a nandroid of this rom.
My goal is to use both, maybe change weekly.
Will I have any problems switching nandroids, regarding the apps in SDCard? The information saved by each rom will cause problems between them?
Any thoughts on this?
The info and configuration of the apps in SDCard installed in a Sense rom will be affected by a new CM11 ART rom (and switching between nandroids)? Or it only affect the part of the apps that are in system space, therefore, no issues?
