Hi guys,
I am considering flashing a ROM to my phone (something with I have not yet done) but obviously wouldn't like to lose my apps, SMS, etc.
Is it possible to download titanium backup on the S5830i, flash a new ROM and then restore everything to how it was on the stock ROM?
Many thanks.
Titanium backup is good and it works 2 but it quiet slow processs.... And for me it sks.... I use android commander and install all apps back to mobile via pc and use myphoneexplorer to backup messages and other stuff... U should try it... It wont back app data.. But for me it works take almost 7 minutes for all process

This section is for android development. Don't ask questions here!
U cannot restore stock rom with titanium backup, for that install clockwork recovery mod and backup your current rom(a must step before flashing any custom rom)
U can install titanium backup on your phone, u can backup all your apps using it and then restore those apps once you are on custom rom.
I guess this is the wrong section.

If you use titanium backup to backup your apps...when you flash your new rom, restore using the app+data option and it will re-install the app and restore it the the specific time when you backed it up. Ie: coin dozer lvl 10 (backup)..restore app (lvl 1)..restore app+data (lvl 10)
Or Dark Summoner..you can player migrate to another device / rom..but it takes a week before you can do it again. If you backup DS with titanium..amd restore it when running ypur new rom..you wont have to wait 5 days to transfer: )

First, as someone mentioned, it is in wrong section, please refer to guides. It should be in S5830i General Section.
Now for the TB, you can use titanium backup to backup apps + data ( what u done in the app, like saving levels/stuff in games) and restore them in the new ROM, however you CAN'T backup SMS as far as I know.
If you want a nicer solution you can use CWM and do a NanDroid backup ( a backup of the whole Stock ROM with sms and apps and everything) Incase you fail installing the custom ROM so u can revert back to the one you had before
It is possible to backup sms and call logs. I use "sms backup & restore" and "call logs backup & restore" app in the market. Its free a d backup perfectly. Not a single info missing.
For contacts, I cant find an app that backup perfectly as it is at the first place. I use "backup contacts". But lost contact pictures and contact group.
*if there's someone here know any app that can put contacts back into groups after restore from backup, please tell me. Thanks! ^_^

I know kies, but its a risk if you change firmware/rom. Kies won't recognize the device.

Yes...the problem will only occur.with some custom roms. If you are using a stock rom. You wont face any such problems.

I'm a little problem with titanium:in the list of app there isn't super users and so i can't do a back up of its updating....
Why is it for general section? Shouldn't it be on the Q&A section or this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089279 ?

Hi, I'm now using the MiniCM rom. Everything works fine and its a really really awesome ROM.
MiniCM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
But I'm facing ONE deadly problem, There's no "Backup and Restore" app in it.. I've tried searching the net for the .apk but most of them, after installing, shows a "LOCKED" as I'm not running the official ROM..
Someone please give me a link to the cracked one that will work for my MiniCM ROM? I know there's one, I used it before , but deleted it after i changed back to stock ROM. Now I changed back to MiniCM and I really really need the app..
Please help thanks for your time
First of all you were posting on the wrong section. This should be posted in General Section. Second posting of warez here are not allowed, with regards to your query you can search for titanium backup, to backup/restore your application, but if you want to backup your system use xrecovery for that! Hope it this helps.
Alright, but all my contacts were backed up using Backup and Restore, i need the same app again to restore my contacts.. Titanium backup couldn't do that.

you should have backup your contacts using titanium backup or just sync it with google..its easier that way
Yup just sync it with google or you can export it to SD. In froyobread the fix for Restore and Backup is by just editing build.prop, coz dx uses Sh!t instead of Sony, and that causes the problem in Restore & Backup, i dont know with MiniCM

I have very little knowledge about this kinda stuff man. I don't even know what's build.prop :/
you can always reflash to stock 2.1 rom, restore your contacts using Backup and Restore, then sync it with google account before flashing any custom ROM.
ps: and you posted this in the wrong section, and you should do a search first since I think I've seen someone posted backup and restore apk somewhere.

So what do you all suggest I do now?
Google myphoneexplorer.
OR you can do manually using this steps (dont need internet access to save your contacts)
1. goto "Contacts"
2. press menu button -> Import/Export
3. select "Export to SD card"
it will saved as 001.vcf (you can save to your PC if u want)
to restore, using same steps 1-2 and for steps 3 select Import from SD card
Use Backup everything, it backs up everything except the contacts, you have to do this manually.

if you can't find a working Backup and Restore apk, then I'd say you should reflash to stock eclair (or restore an eclair xrecovery backup if you made one), and restore your contacts.
then, you can rebackup your contacts again using any of our suggestions (google sync, export to sd card, backupeverything, or myphoneexplorer).

I tried restoring a backup of a stock ROM, but upon start up, it comes up with the tutorial setup to find it hasn't restored any of my applications, only my system settings. Can someone explain what the hell is happening?

By restoring a backup in CWM. It just doesn't seem to restore any applications.
Can't say what your problem is there, but it might be worth investing in titanium backup pro (batch restore saves a lot of time and effort). Hope you get your apps back.

If you only wanna restore your apps use advanced restore and select restore data

How did u make backup of the stock ROM?
Hi. Thing is that I've been using MIUI for a long time now but I wanna use regular Android now and I've like 7K SMS'es that I wanna bring with me. I've tried a whole bunch of SMS backup tools but they all seems to import the messages in a wrong order even though the dates are right. Extracting the messages from a Nandroid doesn't work because MIUI uses a different sms database format or something.
So I'm just wondering if anybody can help me with this or have any experience.
Thanks
How about using thirdparty sms backup app from market to backup the sms on miui rom that u use, then after u flash another rom just use the same app to restore the sms. Its not that hard to figure that out.
Anyway "sms backup and restore" by ritesh sahu never failed me, on stock, miui, or cm.

Titanium backup has an option to backup and restore messages in XML format. Give that a try. I usually use SMS backup and restore by Ritesh Sahu.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough but that's exactly what I've been trying. SMS Backup & Restore, MyBackup+ and other apps I forgot the names of.

Hello everyone,I want to upgrade CM 10.1 but is it possible to back up my all apps or everything in phone now.After I jump CM I want to use my phone like previous.As short as I dont want to loose my info.Thanks.
Titanium backup for your apps and data, sms backup for your texts. Sync contacts to google, call log, there's an app for that as well but can't remeber the name.
Stuff on the external sd can be left as it is, make sure you back up any photos etc from your internal sd.
Wipe everything when you're installing cm and everything should be there

The nandroid backup you had taken then, will restore the phone as an exact snapshot of how it was then. Any apps installed since (or SMS received for example) will be lost, but the phone will be exactly as it was when you took the backup.
If there are SMS that need to be backed up, I recommend SMS backup+, it will back up SMS to your Gmail account. You can even browse them as emails in gmail.
Any apps / data that you want to backup over and above what is in the nandroid backup, use Titanium. With this, ONLY backup and restore USER APPS. System data is incompatible.
Hope this helps. There are some guides in General, under "Roll-up Sticky thread". You should be able to get all teh info you need (including back ups) from tehre.
