http://androidforums.com – Alright, so I've had my phone rooted for a while now and I think I'm ready to flash my first ROM. I'm currently on stock and think I'm going with AOKP 4.2.1 Build 2. It seems like it has all the features I'm interested in. I just have a couple of questions. I'm assuming a "clean install" is essential here? In doing a clean install, I understand I'll lose my apps and all that, but will I also lose my media (pictures, music, etc)? Or how about my Titanium backup? I've completed a nandroid backup. I'm currently running a Titanium backup of all my user and system apps. I read somewh (General)

I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.

1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?

2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?

Hey guys Having a few problems when i restore app data after a ROM flash with Titanium. I've searched around, but can't find anything that works for me :(

Basically, i'm trying to flash PACMan v21 to my GS2, from rooted (dorimanx kernel) stock 4.2.1 touchwiz rom.

Hello guys just switched to the s2 from a htc desire. I have rooted the phone successfully. I am on stock ics 4.0.4 with stock kernal (brickbug one)

I have installed Titanium backup, and i wanted to know if its safe to remove system apps with it? including samsung apps? also cleaning the dalvik cache with titanium backup if its safe to do that?

So I flash new ROMs on my phone constantly and I would never be able to bear being such a flash whore without titanium backup. I'd like to root my nexus but I keep reading it deletes everything and as dumb as it seems, I want to keep my Garfield data! I've read about nandroid backup but it does the same image right?

Hello All,

I've already successfully rooted and installed CWM touch.

I have also spend hours and hours reading the forums before actually attempting to flash my first ROM. To which the process seems straight forward.

But after all I have read, I still have some questions and need some clarifications on few things.

Hey guys So I was using the Xenon HD 2.0 ROM before and then I decided to flash CM 10 (Made a NAndroid Backup though) Backed up my Apps and all the System Data by Titanium Backup. CM 10 flashed PERFECTLY. Everything was working. I restored the data, it asked be to Reboot the phone and so I did. But now the phone is stuck on the CM boot screen (BOOTLOOP). No Recovery Mode.

Am I rooted or not? 33 weeks 6 days ago

I installed stock OTA JB a couple of days ago and lost root access. I tried using Voodoo to restore root but that failed. Finally I used Wugs tool and it seemed to be successful. Titanium Backup is working as rooted as so do a couple of other root apps.

I just installed Barnicle, and when I went to run it, it indicated that I was not rooted.

You need to have a rooted phone.

If you did not backup your apps before you rooted go to the market and download Titanium Backup and AppTyrant and backup your apks, apps and app data only. Do not backup system apps or system data.

1. You will actually need two recovery's, 1st.

I have Titanium Backup PRO and it works fine but is a pain.

When I say its a pain, its because when I flash new roms multiple roms per day, I always need to install the gapps and then go to the market and download the Titanium Backup app and the licence for the Titanium Backup PRO to work with a single click restore. Then I must wait till all apps are restored and then reboot.
