How to backup touchwiz folders and icons - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys! I've been formatting my phone more frequently as of lately as I've been trying roms, and I'd like to know is there a way to backup the icon order or folders or anything like that? It's kind of a pain putting all my icons back in order and such every time! I'm not rooted. Is there a way? Thanks

Some launchers have the ability to save the layout, launcher pro and adw come to mind, doubt the stock one can.

No rooting is required to restore and backup with Titanium Backup Pro with Touchwiz?

Yep, need root.

Yes I did read your first post! Indeed you said you are not rooted, But,.... you didn't asked for any way without root did you? You just asked and I provided an answer, one you would of found of you had actually searched?
Just got to be a little clearer to exactly what you need, so Users wishing to help don't waste their time

You have to root if you wanna use Titanium Backup
I think other app or other solution you still need to root cause you have to mass with system app(touchwiz) so you need root.

Titanium Backup is idiot

I´ve made titanium backup of all my apps (stock froyo rom) then installed Bi-Winning rom and now I can´t restore my phone to how it was with Titanium, it doesn´t lists any of the apps I had installed neither the "interface" settings (volume, profiles, icon settings), the stupid titanium backup lost all my data and apps, where are them??? I have backup them!!!
do you have a filter on? Did you go menu, batch, restore missing?
you never restore system apps.

Also, Before flashing anything new .... ALWAYS.... just copy everything on to your computer in a folder. Then, if the flashing cause any data loss you also have a secure back up to restore from. BUT 1st follow s15274 advice, it is the obvious do that first

Yes I have all the filters set to ALL. Man this program is so idiot. I hate it. It doesn´t work. You install a new ROM and all your apps are missing, there´s no backup. I´m gonna destroy this thing. Could it be a problem because I did a "restore factory/clear data" on CWR before flashing the new ROM? or this idiot backup program is just a **** plain and simple? WHERE IS MY STUFF??

I don´t know why people post when they don´t know exactly what they are saying. I have just uninstalled Titanium PRO and re-installed Titanium non-pro and all my apps appear again. Very strange. Could it be something related to a "root" version of the non-pro? Well the PRO should also be root.

I was referring to someone saying that cwm factory reset would delete the titanium backup files.
I still don´t understand how it´s possible that the PRO doesn´t show my backup files and the non-pro does.

ok so I´m idiot and you are all smart guys. So tell me, why the PRO doesn´t show my saved apps and the non-pro does? I have made the backup using the exact same PRO installation file.

There aren't separate pro and non-pro apps. All the pro app does is unlock features in the base app. So idk what you screwed up but you did somewhere. Did you legitimately buy the pro app or sideload it?

So I guess trying to avoid a flame war the op sent me a pm that he did indeed sideload the app. Hence this thread was opened because he was mad that his stolen app did not function properly. Therefore I conclude that the op = idiot

This thread is what's wrong with xda.
soon as i read the thread title... i knew something was wrong.
just to make this thread a little worth, I´ve found a way of restoring all the apps without the annoying titanium messages for each app. Here is how:
Make a backup with both MyBackup root and titanium backup free, for both app + data.
After installing a new rom, perform the restore of app+data first in MyBackup. It will not popup any button durring the restore, but it will fail to restore apps settings (data). After that, run the batch restore operation in Titanium but in the last screen select just "data", not app+data. It will restore all apps settings (data) correctly. All free.
Congratulations...you found a way to profit from other people's work without having to give anything in return.
If you're going to be a pirate, no one can stop you. Just keep it to yourself and don't come whining for help when it bites you in the butt.
Yep:

Freezing with Titanium Backup is the best way -- that way the next time you update your software, they are still frozen.

You still can uninstall the apps with free version.

If your phone is already rooted and you are willing to take one more step, try one of the Omega ROMs. They letz you choose duifng installation what bloatware to install and what to omit. And you can always install previously omitted bloatware afterwards.

Best restore apps method?

Upgrading to new roms is a pain, because it takes a lot. For people who work or italian students that have to study 229 pages of literature for the next week, this is often a pain.
I am looking for the quickest way to put all my stuff on a newer rom (im on 4.1.1 stock rooted, gonna upgrade to foxhound)...ive searched the web and fastest way seems to be titanium backup...that's good and all...but it doesnt convince me too much.

TB pro
or the newer Carbon .
Data only from Nandroid yes .
Flash new rom boot recovery restore data only works 99% of the time .
Only problem can be the odd app conflict or a conflict if you move from ICS to JB .

Could do that with a micro sd, plus in italy internet connections are low speed, so it would be a total waste of time and broadband to have it sync thru wifi...

I believe titanium backup pro is best method, cause restoring just data on foxhound made it crash.

yeah, or you could do it with a click of a button, see which one's more convinient.
Local syncing does not use any traffic, it syncs locally.
but if you've already made up your mind I guess there's no point in asking.

Titanium back up I believe it does one app at the time and then I have to keep on giving it permissions, is it just me? Nandroid back up is an "image" of the actual ROM, data, settings etc. so if you try it, you would go back to previous rom, etc.

Backup the apk and data also of the app using titanium backup or system cleanup (fully free) and try restoring it using the app when changing Roms it should save your progress, apparently the game might be assigning a hidden user id every fresh install and it will obviously change every fresh install.

one-click restore apks

Hi all! I change rom a lot of times in a month and every time I have to restore applications using Astro file manager or other similar apps, clicking "next, next, install" for every app is very boring, especially when you do it a lot of times. I'm looking for something whereby restore all my applications and data every time by one-click (or a.zip) but I don't want to pay 5$ for titanium backup, neither to crack it. Can you suggest me something?
