Can anyone confirm that it will restore both apps AND data when making the switch from 2.2 to 2.3? I had problems restoring data on CM7 using Ti-Bu. Apps would restore fine, but apps+data would fail every time. I'm just wondering if I'm looking at the same scenario here, or if it was possibly failing on CM7 due to something beyond my current understanding (possibly that my data backups were made on comm rom, which is touchwiz based, and the data backups therefore wouldn't be compatible with AOSP?). Any help would be appreciated, thanks =)

Don't think it's ever a good idea to restore data across any changes on the os.
But if your using the gb leak then you can't have had it for to long meaning you have little to lose by trying. Worst case your just reflashing costing you an extra hour at most.

TiBu works fine with the GB leak. I restored apps w/data. Just not system data.
Thanks much guys, I haven't flashed it yet, I just wanted to get a little preliminary info first

I tried a ROM and found it to be a bit buggy. I did a nandroid restore back to pre rooted GB. Was I supposed to clear user data and both caches before the restore? Or does that not matter with a complete restore?

I have to think that its prolly suggested that you do so?? I usually wipe/restore whenever I flash something major, and I have avoided a lot of issues up until this point
I have never cleared data/cache before a restore. It is not needed. Been crack flashing for about a year and a half.

I get a vdm client quits when i try to update my prl or profile. Can anybody help? First happend on clean rom 2.5 so i flashed viper 1.3 and still have the problem.

If you haven't already try doing a clean install of whatever ROM you decide to stick with. Then, try running the updates before any titanium backups or anything like that. Also, are you on HBOOT 1.5,4, or 3? Are you using Rev's method of root or HTC's? If HTC make sure you're using the fast boot method when flashing the ROMs as to have a matching kernel along with them. Hope something here helps.
Maybe it is titanium backup. Thats the only things that have changed since the problem started.

Oh and, for future reference, this thread should have been posted in the q & a section. Letting you know lest you get flamed in the future.
Thanks. This seems like the other 200 questions on general, so i guess ill never understand what goes where.

Nope...if you start flashing roms and playing with this kinda stuff get used to factory resets...not trying to put you off but when you start getting into roms ect..the benefits outweigh having to redo your phone. Its a pain and it always seems like once you have your phone just the way you want it a new rom or something comes out. Just do a nandroid backup in recovery that way if you don't like it you can revert back to the way your phone was setup the way you had it. That way you always have a backup.
Try titanium backup. It'll let you backup your settings before you wrote your phone.

Don't listen to him. Never restore settings. This causes a lot of problems. You can do it for Apps, but not the Apps and their data. That sometimes causes problems too.

Eclipse is super clean and super fast.
Well there's very few things that im worried about losing but my calender (pure grid calender) is one that I don't wanna lose.....I emailed the dev and asked if there was a way to back it up so im waiting for an email back on that.....I have my apps backed up via titanium backup free and sticky notes I can just write down or something.....I ran minimal x immediately when it came out so I have some experience with Rom's but no where near calling myself a pro.....so with eclipse will I flash it the same way as I did with MinX?

I use Pure Grid Calendar... have for over a year.. across the D1 and the X2 I have flashed my phone so many times I couldnt even begin to make up a number.... NEVER.. lost my calendar info. Its synched into google. Auto restores when you go thru setup after flashing the ROM

Is that a setting in pure grid or something?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
no, pure grid, if you will remember, asks you on setup which calendar you want to use. By default, its set to the google one. SO, you set your phone up and the calendar syncs.. then you install pure grid again and it grabs the already synched google calendar.. thats all google.

I agree. I 've been backing up my apps and their data with Titanium Backup since I started flashing roms and have had no problems...

Apps and data across updates to these rom has always been fine. Going across versions (froyo/gb etc) has been known to causes issues, as well as settings. The settings issue is widely accepted as a way to introduce bugs. You'd know this if you'd been flashing roms for longer than a few weeks.

I don't want to start a whole thing here...yes titanium is a great program but i have run into problems with it not restoring properly and causing some problems. I always prefer to just do a fresh install if im backed into a corner, but Titanium works great but i ran into some issues with it not restoring settings/accounts causing FC and ghost email accounts that could not be removed. Maybe its just me i used it a couple of times and it worked but it just didn't seem like a clean restore for some reason. Again just giving opinion here not trying to start anything...**Opinion Only**

Nandroid is seriously best thing u could EVER do before flashing or at any point for that matter. If there is ever a point where u say damn I really like how my phone is righteous now. Wish I could get back here if something ever messes up. Then just go into recovery using system recovery app and make ur nandroid. I keep em on external sd card cuz there's more space for plenty of em. And then I use root explorer and rename or add on something to the name of the backup so I don't forget which one it is when im restoring it. When u male a nandroid it automatically puts the date and time of creation as the file name.
Trust me. Nandroid will save your butt on occasion if u flash ANYTHING. Its awesome to just press restore and presto your right back where u were.
Not a TB fan here... just a personal preferences...
Best way I've found to get back up quickly is... having the rom auto download your apps and when its done, go into recovery and do an advanced restore. Then choose data only. That's assuming you made a backup of course.

Would it be too much to ask for someone to walk me thru flashing this?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Check the stickies.. theres instructions for flashing stuff... also, just so you know, the Eclipse ROM is not one of the ROMs that auto downloads your apps. You will need to do that yourself then do the data resotre.. if you are going that route. If you are using TB, you can restore it all but.. I dont use it so I have no clue how to do that.

A nandroid backup is done thru cwm (the only place I know of) when you boot into recovery (like if your flashing a rom) you'll see a section that saids "backup" that is where you conduct your nandroid backup up...once you create the back up you can restore using that backup from cwm as well. The backup pretty much copies everything on your phone, from system files to music...this is in my oppinion very important to do especially if your planning on going flash crazy like most of us. So to answer your question about switching, to the best of my knowledge if you created a backup while on GB and created a backup while on ICS than stands to reason you could toggle...but I will tell you that the restore process does take a while, after a few of them you'll be sick of it and I'm not quite sure why you'd want to toggle. I created a backup of GB when the ICS leak first came out just in case there were a lot of issues, I've experienced very few problems while running IcS so I have zero reason to ever go back to GB.

Not really... Get almost the same use with ics. Not enough difference to go back to GB.
