All data on the phone is, SD card is fine, so pics and videos should be fine.
I've used Titanium for the apps, which in most cases also restores the settings too.
I use google sync, so Contacts are synced as soon as I add my google account to the phone (not sure how the other sync methods work for contact)
Finally, for SMSs I used the SE backup and restore app, and just chose SMS. there is an option for apps on there too, but I haven't used it.
Then, once 2.1 is installed, root, install busybox then use titanium to restore apps (don't restore system settings, as that caused me an issue with WiFi, app setting are fine though), then you will have all of your apps back, then open SE's backup and restore and choose to restore the backup you made earlier for texts
Contacts were auto for me, and photos and other SD contents will need no restoring at all, just view!
Copy and paste for my media files and SD card, and I used gmail and MyPhoneExplorer for my contacts. Titanium should do your apps and settings for them, but being a whole OS I just started from scratch with them.
I have rooted my x10i and accidentally deleted my stock calendar app.
Though I have used the titanium backup to backup first, but I found I can't restore it. I think it is the system app.
How can I restore that app back?
thx
I uploaded the stock SE calendar apk, just copy it to \system\app, then set the permission(just check the permission of other apk on the \system\app, and it should be same like the other).

I been trying to figure something out without any luck... hope someone can help...
When we use titanium backup to restore apps , then why arnt they shown in the android market...?? Like when you go to my apps all those restored apps arnt there and you can't update them... individually if you go to the apps it shows them installed and gives the option toupdate update but if you try to do so it gives an error...
Is that normal... or ia there any way around this...?? I had an issue like this with my SGS and now am using a Moto Atrix with the same thing... thought its about time I ask...

After restoring apps I always reboot and I clear Market application's Data & Cache.
My apps always show up in the market app after those steps.
Try this.open titaniun then go into backups and then menu (on your phone) choose 'more' and select market doctor.it replaces market links with reinstalled apps.

TIBU wont restore system apps
hi, TIBU wont restore apps,
I did a full system + app backup, then I transferred the contents of that backup folder from my sd card to my macbook, I then deleted the backup from my sd card, leaving just the empty TIBU folder on the sd card.
I then proceeded to un-install some bloatware like twitter, weather, facebook, HTC Hub etc, (thinking I was safe because I had a full backup on my mac that I could transfer back into the empty TIBU folder on my sd card and re-install).
so, I transferred the full system + app backup, from my macbook, back into the empty TIBU folder on my sd card and turned on TIBU on my phone.
TIBU CAN SEE the un-installed apps, they are gray font with a gray line through them, also they have an orange smiley face next to them, when I click on them, they give me the option to restore, so, I click restore and a gray box appears with a circle inside showing me its doing something, this would stay like this for hrs if I let it, it does not restore and I have to reboot my phone to make it stop.
I thought my transferring of the data from sd card to macbook and back might have corrupted something so I experimented: not leaving TIBU I made a backup of calculator as this was a system app in red font, I then uninstalled it (same gray font + line), then immediately tried to restore it again, NOTHING, just the same problem as above. what is the point of TIBU if it won't restore system apps, I've searched the web for a solution to this gray font and line problem. for such a big app I'm surprised theirs not more info on this, I'm at a dead end, some of the apps I un-installed are not in the market. I have not installed a new rom after root, all i did was download go launcher and changed a theme, sorry for the long sermon, i just wanted to explain fully, is there no way to get these apps back on my phone, there just sitting on my macbook in zip files,,,,,,thank you

It is never advised to back up or restore system apps as it can cause huge issues or not install as there are extra files need to run the system apps that don't get backed up or need other system apps to run. The point to TIBU is for backup up user apps not system apps.

I believe that the free version only backs up system data, not the actual apk file. So you can restore the data (if the app is installed), but you cannot restore the app itself. I could be wrong about this though, I paid for the pro version before the feature to back up system apk files was added. Before that, even the paid version could only restore system data but not apps.
If you're wanting to remove the apps to restore later, you can either pay for the full version and freeze them (or back them up), or you can use a root level file explorer (I suggest Root Explorer, but there's a free one in the Android Apps & Games section) to copy the apk to your SD card and then uninstall via Titanium Backup. When you want to reinstall, you'll have to move the apk back to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--.
If you have the Pro version of Titanium Backup, or if that feature is available in the free version, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. You can also try an older version of TB, they're available on the developer's website.
If neither of those help your problem, it could be an issue with your SD card. Try backing up the contents and formatting the card. It's best to format through your recovery or from the phone itself, but you can do it from your computer - just be sure to format to FAT32. The developer is very helpful, try contacting him if you still can't solve the problem.
It is not recommended to restore system apps or data across roms, but you should be fine if it's on the same rom (or possibly a variation/update of the same rom).
Good luck, hope you get it fixed!

Hey XDA,
I installed a ROM in my GS2, restored using Titanium, got this error, looked for a solution, cleared contacts data, lost all my contacts (can't fix it) - installed another ROM, restored using Titanium, got same error.
It has become QUITE annoying since I can only use the phone until this message pops up and I have to clear data again.
I want a permanent solution to this.
Thanks!
Don't restore data on system apps when you do a restore.
In fact, unless the new rom doesn't have a system app that you really, absolutely must have from your previous rom, don't restore system apps at all.
When I first started using Miui I had this problem the first few days & I discovered by trial & error (and later read) that is good practice and gets rid of most of those problems.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Would I only restore apps and games? Not contacts? How would I get my contacts back? Would I just have to ask everyone again for their number!? D:
Restore contacts from your backup . Restore only apps from Titanium if no problem then you can start to restore apps and data one by one to find the culprit .
Easier if you had a recent nandroid backup .
jje
Yeah restore your apps, games & so on, you can usually restore the app/game data as well, but occasionally you'll get FC's if you do. If so, fix is the same, restore app only/not data.
You should normally be right to restore your contacts. If you find that's also causing you FC's, you can get an app like App Extractor from the Market which enables you to restore your contacts/SMS's from a Nandroid/CW backup. There are also lots of other apps on the Market which enable you to backup/restore your contacts/SMS's/call logs/etc.

i have found the solution.
the problem is when you restore some of the apps AND data, which have a "sync" contact function will screw up the "sync" function.
All you have to do is to restore ONLY App for those apps (which "sync" contacts, for example, Hotmail or Whatsapp), then restore apps and data for the rest of the apps thru Tibu.
mine is perfectly fine now after a few trial and errors.
more info about it
I've used ROM Toolbox to backup and then restore contacts and start having these problem.
The problem, effectively seems to be a sync problem, but in my case not with fb but with gmail itself, so what I did:
1. turn off auto sync
2. remove all accounts (gmail, fb, skype). For skype you have to remove the app all thogheter.
3. Go Applications > and clear data and cache for contacts, contacts storage (any of them). Your contacts will not go away, b/c you already have them in gmail.
4. Restore contacts with Titanium backup (application only, no data).
5. reboot
6. you may still have the problem once yet.
7. create the gmail account again and allow to sync. once finish, create the other accounts (fb, skype, whatever).
Issue went away.
Hope this helps
unfortunately the process android process acore has stopped

You need to install contact.apk and contact provider.apk in root, location is system/app
to root download superuser and root browser

I think ROM Toolbox needs to fix up there Bugs!!!
Last Night
I used ROM Toolbox but only for changing settings and I ended up with the same error on my Desire HD, Testing Your theory now!
Cheers! Thanks Champ!
just some hints from developer point view, if any of the 3rd party application used the system id as application id, once the application fc for any reason, you will see the error, so, I would suggest you install apps that you totally trust that are stable, then try other apps later

I'm experiencing this problem too. It starts after a while and affects everything and anything e.g. messaging, whatsapp, talk, drive you name it.
This problem started ever since I update to resurrection 2.6 could it possibly be because the update was in my phone and not on the sdcard?

Hey, the problem is from the sdcard and not from your phone, I've experienced it and even flashing back to stock didn't solve it the only thing that did is clearing out the cache from contacts and contacts storage from application manager in the settings of the phone .
I got a new phone and I want to restore the list of greenified apps. Everything is backed up. I copied and replaced the entire `shared_prefs` folder to `/data/data/com.oasisfeng.greenify`. `greenfied_apps.xml` (there's a typo) file is holding data of all greenified apps, but restoring it didn't work. The app is still using the default settings. I've restarted Greenify and cleared cache.
Am I looking at the right place?
why not use titanium backup?

Because Oandbackup is free, and superior in my opinion. I've had Titanium Backup, the UI was convoluted and the app was difficult to use. I recently successfully restored over 100 apps with OBU.
I figured out I can restore only data with Oandbackup, I managed to move Greenify settings.
