How to BACKUP & RESTORE after full wipes quickly

Ok guys I thought I would write a quick guide to help with backing up and restoring you data apps and some system data. Following this guide you should be able to restore most of your setup in about 10 minutes or less after flashing a new rom or doing a factory reset / data wipe. This is what I do only. It may be of use to you or you may have a better way and thats fine.

Anyway here we go -

IMPORTANT - Do these steps before you want to wipe data or install a new rom

I always save Contacts to my Google account and not the device or sim card. The all get restored as soon as I log in

1. First you will need Titanium Backup (and pro key). Yes its a paid app but for the amount you spend you will surely save in the future with time.

2. Ensure you have enabled USB debugging in Settings / Developer Options

3. Now open Titanium Backup and accept any Superuser prompt. If, like me, it has a warning that your Android ID has changed then I just press ASK ME LATER

4. Now you will want to open up the Batch actions. Do this by pressing the tick next to the Menu heading

5. You will want to first backup your User Apps. These are the apps that you have downloaded and installed. This will backup the app and data. So RUN the "Backup all user apps" section. Now select all the apps you want backed up and press the green tick to start. This can take some time if you have a lot of apps.

6. Now you want to backup your system data. Be careful here as you only want to restore the data of some of them. Installing system apps on new firmware will lead to problems so only backup the ones I have selected in the image

These system apps I have selected will keep your Bluetooth pairings, Bookmarks from stock browser, your call log, clock settings (alarms etc), Dictionary, your sms & mms messages, your home screen settings and layout and your wifi access points.

Ok now all your data apps and some essential system data will be retained for a quick restore when you need it :D

When I do a data wipe I only do data wipe. I do not format sd card.If you do make sure your Titanium Backup data is stored to your external sd card and not the internal one or you will lose everything. You can look in Titanium Backup settings for where to save your backup if needed.

Ok now to restore -

1. Enable developer options in your phone settings and enable USB debugging.

2. Download Titanium Backup and pro key from Playstore. Open the app and accept superuser prompts etc. Now open Batch Actions. You want to go to "Restore" section and press RUN on restore missing apps with data. Select the apps you want to restore. I have APP+Data selected. Now press the green tick and let it restore. It will take some time.

3. Now we want to go to Batch actions and we want t press RUN on Restore all system data. If a Question pops up I press "Let me choose myself". Now select the system data you want to restore. You will get a prompt about changing the messaging app and this is fine. Select yes.

When this finishes you need to reboot your phone. All you will have to do yourself is change your prefered system settings like ringtones, screen on settings etc from the Settings app.

Hope this helps some of you
