Yup, I second that. Great app, and works great across builds. I just migrated from FroyoStone v3.1 to the FroyoHD beta and all my apps, messages etc were transferred.

is the free version enough?? or do i have 2 buy the pro one??

and if so.. how do i make a system copy with it? lool the tool is complicated!

Free version is fine, it's what I use.
http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php <-- 5 seconds on google took me to the wiki which is what I used to learn how to operate the software.

I'd recommend paying the small amount for the full version. With the lite version you have to click "install" and "done" for most apps when you restore. I had over 200 apps on my last restore so that would have taken quite a while!

just copy the current date.img to the new Android .

copy your sd card files over to pc which includes all your backup of titanium onit, once you have flashed rom, formatted sd etc and new rom is installed get titanium backup back off the market copy your sd files back and then restore but if you are changing roms completely and not doing an update id recommend just doing a back up of your apps because if you restore over your existing settings it may corrupt the rom (NOT TO SURE NOT TRIED IT MYSELF)

Very thanks for all good roms & answers.can you help me too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16145088#post16145088

Well I want to try a CM7 rom over the sense I've been using. I guess I'll just try the backup and see what happens. Should I use titanium or nandroid?

Hi,
Restore the nandroid backup you made before installing a major change on your phone.
Did not make a nandroid?Why not?
Re-flash the ROM without wiping anything.
It should restore everything back as it was.

[Q] Google Play Services for custom rom

After Trying many Custom roms i found that in only hyperion latest build google play services works no other rom allows it After doing a lot of search in google and xda i found out a reason for .It occurs due to signing of apps by kitchen or by removing there odex part or by editing there signature. The solution i found out was flashing gapps to remove edited gapps and then doing data cache and dalvik cache wipe but and updating apps from market it will get automatically installed but this method didnt work for me. And many more method were tried by me but non worked for me please help me out i want to sign in in youtube in latest version

I had same problem. But few days earlier, I tried mobgenie software on desktop to install the google play service on my samsung galaxy y with hyperion rom. Amazingly it worked. Better use latest google play service (.apk file).
Hope this process will work on any android device with custom rom.

will work on any stock based rom
you just have to wipe data and then mount system and flash the zip
you dont need to install the rom again as you are wiping data
if you dont wipe data it will bootloop

My device is comprised of the api 22 sdk and moverio sdk. Is there any way to get around the issue of my "custom, stock rom" not being compatable with the installer?

Restoring apps after flashing a new rom

Hi.
This is a general question to all rom flashers. How do you restore apps after a clean install? I know you can use TB and other tools but for me they take too long.
I tried creating a cwm flashable zip afyer some research and it flashed fine. But some of my apps now are force closing. Some are working fine.
I dont care about apo data/settings.
I just want to install all my apps in 1 go. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
I know that TB paid version has this feature but I am sure there should be a way to manually do it as well. Any alternate method?
Thanks in advance!!

Hit thanks if I helped you!!

I use TB Pro and restore first the App and then the Data separately and i think its the best and fastest method to restore Apps after flashing an new Rom.
And it tooks less then 10 minutes and you are done .
A methode whithout TB i dont know but i maybe whit a script ?

Yeah I know about TB paid version. I think I ought to try it.
I used apk_mass installer tool previously but it doesnt work on the 9500.
I am sure there is a manual way to do it, lets hope someone points in the right direction.

I don't like paying for apps, either. But some of them are way worth it. TB Pro is for sure one that falls into the way worth it category for me.

Found this tool. Version 1.5a worked fine.
