Just a quick question for you guys. I have been using my Nexus 10 for a while now, but just recently got into all the "custom ROM" stuff. I wanted to know, that if I just backup my Apps + User Data, then flash a custom ROM, then restore those Apps + Data, will it work? Also, will it mess up the ROM anyway? Thanks a ton.
As long as you don't restore any system data (anything in red) you should be okay.
Also don't forget to make a nandroid backup before flashing a new rom.
One more thing, if any of your apps can backup their own data I'd create a backup that way too. Just in case.
every will be ok
Hello everyone. I am currently on AOSP 5.1.1 rooted and xposed. I am thinking about going to cm13. I have done a full backup of all things from TWRP Recovery. If I then restore this backup, will root access and xposed be restored too? Please help.

A nandroid backup of all partitions, which can exclude internal storage and SD card, will restore the OS to the exact same state. I mean, really exact state. Only the system time, which of course can't be stored, is changed when you restore backup. Everything else, like apps and their data is as it is, untouched.
Hi. I'm having issues with the battery life on my OPX and I would like to try some stuff. However, my OPX is my daily driver and i'd like to have real backups that can help me get back to business quickly if I make a mistake.
One such this is to try to turn off Google Services/Backup. However, how do I back up my app settings, then? How do people who go around testing ROMs and Kernels do it? Do they just blow away everything every time?
I'd also like to try other kernels, maybe even using a kernel manager, but I need root for that. After rooting, how can I update to the next OOS 3.x release? I'm on OOS 3.x, and for now I only want to be on OOS 3.x (no custom ROMs if I can avoid them), updating only when OnePlus releases a security update.
For backing up my phone apps instead of Google Services/Backup, I tried:
* MyBackup - will backup all APKs, but app-data will only be backed-up in rooted phones; it will also backup most of the things I also want and for what I'm already using it (SMS, MMS, Calendar events, Contacts, Home screen settings, etc.)
* Helium - will backup APKs and app-data, but only for half my apps; AFAIK, it won't back up the rest of the phone state, I'll have to keep using MyBackup for that.
Questions:
1) If I install TWRP and root with SuperSU, can I unroot? Can I then dirty-flash (for example) OOS 3.1.5 over 3.1.4 and re-root?
1.1) If I can't dirty-flash, how do I safely install an OOS upgrade on a phone with TWRP and root?
2) Will MyBackup backup and restore everything properly if I root?
3) Will Helium back up all apps if I root?
4) Would it be better to keep the stock recovery (booting temporarily TWRP from fastboot/adb just to install SuperSU) and then work with FlashFire? Does anyone use Flashfire with OPX?
This is a duplicate of a thread I created on the OP forums but it seems the official forums are as dead as OPs support for the OPX...
Thank you.

Your best choice is magisk manager,install magisk and root with systemless root,follow their official thread for procedures, if u done everything properly, u ll hv root access and u ll not face any problem while getting sys updates.
Helium backup? I prefer titanium backup(requires root) it ll work properly
Another simple method,Take a full backup in twrp before playing with ur mobile,root it using twrp,install xposed watever, and when if opx get nxt update,u can install it manually from twrp..jst as simple and restore previously backedup data..

OK, installed Magisk, rooted and tried again.
MyBackup failed twice to finish a backup, once it just reset while in the background, the other failed almost on the last app with "Not enough space" (SD Card still has 50GB+ available...)
Titanium Backup is refusing to backup to the SD card. When I try to select the SD card as a backup storage it won't allow me to create a new folder or select an existing folder. A rooted app refusing to write to the SD Card? Are you sh*tting me?
Now I have installed systemless Xposed for Magisk and ”Marshmallow SD fix" module. Apps still can't write to the SD card
Hi everyone
I used to use orange backup to make a scheduled backup of my device.
This now seems to be defunct.
I was wondering if there is anything similar I could use to make a nightly backup of my phone to my NextCloud server.
I have a OnePlus 6T, it isn't rooted but does have TWRP installed.
Would be nice to have the system backup automated without having to mess around going into TWRP.
Thanks for your help

So i run The latest miui. Rooted with magisk.
Some time ago i backup this rom. Installed a custom one. Didnt like it.
When i tried to restore The rom. My Phone data was envrypted. And no password worked. I tried every password i have ever had. So my whole internal memory was lost since i had to format everything.. I really dont want this to happen again..
How do you restore stuff without this happening?

It's not recommended to restore miui with twrp. There are two options how I would proceed:
1. Use Migrate app or Titanium backup. Flash rom, boot and than restore apps.
I always backup via Migrate app, it dumps everything in a zip as backup including call logs, sms, apps etc. That zip can be flashed via twrp.
2. Remove all passwords, lock screen fingerprint screen lock etc from MIUI, rom should not be encrypted and than backup via twrp which you can restore later. Though I personally wouldn't suggest this method.
