[Q] Please help me

My phone is about to be taken away (XPERIA X10) for a replacement in few days. I want to back up everything on it, not just the apps or settings. I want to back up the Android 2.2 which I have on it, all the apps in it with the settings.
I had 2.1, i have got everything ready, such xrecovery and etc.
Could you tell me a way I could also backup my root files (not the sd files).
Thanks
does any one know what I could use
Is your phone rooted? If so, you should use Titanium Backup. You have the ability to backup all your system files and data files. However, keep in mind that when you restore system files, they will need to be restored on the same version of Android that you had on your original phone. If not, you can have many conflicts on restore.
If your phone isn't rooted, there are several backup programs in the Android Market and Amazon's market that do backups.
Don't know if this will help, but if you could provide more information on your question, you will probably get more specific answers.
Good Luck!!
As long as it's a replacement of the exact same phone with the exact same OS, I'm pretty sure you could just use something like Titanium Backup to handle all this if your phone is rooted.
I do have my phone rooted, I want to backup everything, everything, so I can restore the phone as it was. Dont worry about the new phone, i can root and get android 2.2 on it.
As said, Titanium Backup is your best bet. If you're talking about something similar to a nandroid backup through your recovery, you cannot restore those across phones with causing major problems.
Backup your apps + data with TB, but I wouldn't restore any system data. Download the rom you're currently running & have your root method handy. Setting back up shouldn't take too long. I'd take screenshots as well to help when setting widgets back up because TB or any other app cannot restore those.
EDIT: Also backup your contacts/calendar through gmail. Go in to your Accounts & Sync settings and choose sync now. Don't restore anything backed up with Google through Titanium Backup, you might get duplicates.

[Q] Extracting data from old backups

Hi all,
Before my old tablet was returned to the store, I had made a nandroid backup of all my files. This is the same backup I tried to flash over my new tablet, which made s*** hit the fan, hard.
That being said, I've got my tablet working, rockin, and rollin. But I do have some important files that I'd like to extract from that nandroid backup. Whats the best way of going about doing this?
In specific, I know that CWM allows me to perform a selective restore, where I can choose which partition to restore individually. Would this method be advisable?
In particular, I'm trying to get some of the settings files for some of my apps, for example, FuelLogPro. It had all of my saved fill-ups for the past few months and that's data I'd rather keep (although I won't be crying if I lose it).
Any advice?
Thanks,
Opethfan89
You have this app : Rom Toolbox lite which works well
Try it, really simply and free.

[Q] Android Full image backup ?

Hi just wonder if i could do full image backup of my Galaxy s3 i9300 before trying new custom roms?
My s3 is rooted
Did full wipe and then tried many custom roms.
Choosed the best one in my opinion PARDUS 13Beta4 rROm for my needs.
Then spend all day setting my phone up - apps and accounts (got plenty different types.), wigets.
Now i want to try different ROM and dont want to spend all day setting my existing rom again in case if i dont like new rom.
I hv heard of many backup solutions but did not try any of them yet.. ( dont want to loose anything ,inc msgs.logs etc)
I know apps and conntacts are backed up to google account but :
is there any thing that could backup image of my phone.. so i can recover it exacly to the same state as it is now incl rom settings messages, state of folders on iphone internal memory etc. ..everything in one go! as for example windows image backup does.
Thanx
You can always use CWM and create a Nandroid backup of your phone. Titanium backup is another good choice and probably more inclusive than a Nandroid backup.

[Q] Titanium Backup - dropbox back up

Hi,
recently purchased the titanium backup pro.
I have 2 android devices that are using it
samsung tab s and a S6.
I noticed that both devices upload to the dropbox in a single location - dropbox/TitaniumBackup.
Will it cause any issues of files being overwritten as there will definitely be some overlapping apps that i got for both devices.
Or will the file name be individualized so that will not be any problems when i restore back ups.
Another thing is, i usually do a manual restoration of my backup to the sdcard , now that both backups are in a single location, how can i "correctly" seperate them so i can transfer the correct one back to my device?
Or is there a feature within titaniumbackup that im not knowing, which can help to directly restore the backup from the dropbox location?
Btw, im upgrading my Samsung Tab S OS kitkat to lollipop.
will my data backup be still valid for usuage?

Backup

Hi, looking at the recovery menu I can see an option named restore from backup, now the question is ..... How can I make a backup of my unit? I use to try ROMs and want a easy way to got back in case of emergency
Thanks !
Most use Titanium Backup which can backup and restore apps, and some of the apps config/data.
It is still a somewhat tedius process, so those of us with experience don't rush to try every ROM, but it is much faster than having to install and download the apps from the appstore, and having to remember what you had installed etc..
Hi !, yep, I use Titanium BCK too but I need to make a whole system backup, I'll try with nandroid online backup....let's see how it goes
Thanks
