Excuse my nooberance - but I want to test out some different firmwares, roms and kernels.
Once I've installed new firmware, kernels or roms I'd like to be able to easily and quickly restore all my apps and settings. What is the easiest way to do this?
I've CWM installed and have made a backup of my current state - but is it simpler to use something like Titanium Backup as from what I understand the backup I've made with CWM is like a complete image and if I restore that image it will overwirte any other rom, kernel or firmware - but maybe I've misunderstood (quite likely - as there's a lot to learn about Android coming from a long time iOS user).
Thanks in advance.
yes you can use TiBU to restore almost anything. However it is recommended to restore only "user apps and their data". You can backup messages and call logs using samsung account or use "MyBackUp" app for it.
TiBU however is most widely used.
There are guides and tutorials for using Titanium Backup but I'll give a little info to maybe clear things up for you.
A Nandroid backup will indeed backup EVERYTHING like a complete image, so yes if you installed a new ROM or Kernel, and restored the Nandroid backup, this would overwrite and you would be back at square one. Nandroid backups are useful if you are doing modifications to the system like new themes or changes to settings etc, in case it goes wrong you can restore.
Download Titanium Backup (I do recommend getting Pro version).
Backup your USER apps only. NOT THE SYSTEM APPS.
Choose any system apps you do require (maybe)
Then on the new ROM you can just restore all your user apps.. simple..
PM me if you need any more help and I will go into more detail
I had taken the titanium backup in stock rom. Now I have installed some other rom which is lagging I want my stock rom back. So can I use the same titanium backup
I don't think so. I believe Titanium Backup if for apps only.
We cant
They're correct. This is why it's always suggested to make a backup in your custom recovery - called a nandroid. Otherwise you'll have to install the stock firmware and re-root.
Hey, everytime I want to flash a new ROM or even new version of the same ROM,
I like to clear everything beforehand and factory reset my device.
The issue is everytime I do that I have to download all my apps again and configure the device all over again (apps & phone settings) .
I need some guide about backing up the maximum data possible (settings and applications) while still keeping the new flash as clean as possible.
I own Titanium paid version.
Thanks a lot!
if u have titanium backup than all you need to do is backup all your user apps + data. then when flashing a new rom you can rather manually wipe the phone through recovery. in twrp you can go to wipe and then advanced wipe and choose Cache,Dalvik,Data and System..DONOT choose internel storage else youll wipe everything even ur media and backups.
in titanium you can create titanium backup as a zip file for you to flash, so create that.after flashing a new rom flash the titanium backup as well, so as soon as your phone is up and running you can go straight to titanium backup batch actions and restore all user apps and data. you wouldnt need to download your apps again.
hope it makes sense and helps
I want to ask you about one thing. It is possible to backup current whole rom with installed apps and settings and make it zip file that it is possible to future restore by flashing rom like a custom rom in TWRP?
My phone: Lenovo k3 note (rooted)

yep you can do all of the above, it will backup even the files (photos, videos...) on your device storage and give you a flashable zip that you can restore after and you will get EVRYTHING back to your phone, it's called a NANDROID Backup ... you can do it with a custom recovery such as TWRP indeed
I use to flash new Roms every time. But then everytime I have to install the basic apps again from playstore .
To avoid this reinstalling , I made titanium backup of apps and I restore apps on different Roms from titanium backup app. But here problem is I have to root the rom to use titanium backup on every rom.
I just want to ask , how can I make a flashable zip of some important apps so that with new rom flashing I can flash this all zip too....so that apps get installed without root.
And as flashing from twrp install gapps in system partition ...so can i install apps in data partition from twrp recovery ?
Use nandroid Backup

Look carefully there is an option for making flashable zips for backup in Titanium backup itself so just find it and use it but i would suggest to try and check it first because it doesn't always work so try it first before fully relying on it.

Yes I tried it too and it is not working for me. There is option of making update.zip from titanium backup. But when I flash thi zip from twrp,nothing happens. No app gets installed .

There is an app in playstore app2zip or something developer @jrummy
please try that too and report back .
First make backup of all apps in titanium with data. Then just tap on "tickmark" button on top-right corner. Here find "Recovery Mode" and Run recovery mode with desire apps with data. Name it whatever you like.
Now Go to twrp and flash that "Recovery.zip" file that you created in flashing zip. Restart phone after 1-2 times to make it stable. (you will probably can get app crash frequently by flashing zip"
But I think in this method too you need installed titanium backup for "app-data" installation. (All apps will installed without titanium backup but you need TB for data installation)

I think miui has better options for local backup which u will not find in custom roms. I hope our devs should have included this in custom roms.
If i remember There are 2 options in miui
1-User settings
2-Apps and data
If u moving from one from custom rom to another then its always better to backup and restore only "apps and data".. Never restore" User settings". Coz restoring user settings brings bugs and crashes. Coz different custom roms got diffrent tree.
Make sure if u backup using titanium then never backup user settings. Only backup apps and data.
