Titanium Backup question

ajf · 8 Mar 2013 at 16:02

From reading, am I correct that this backs up all apps and their data/settings?

Could I use this to restore those apps and settings when I try out different ROMs, or would the backup only restore to the ROM it was done from originally?

I have flipping between a couple of ROMs and it is getting tiresome to set everything up and download apps again!
I set the option for Google to backup but it doesn't seem to be very reliable and often only puts back a handful of the apps I use.

Works with all rooted roms I have ever used.

Yes should work with all rooted roms afaik. Its a very handy app.

Thanks for the replies and I will check out Carbon too.

You should avoid restoring system setting across different ROMs, that can cause issues. Everything else - Apps (incl google apps), texts, accounts, contacts etc - has always been fine for me

Also will add that I wouldn't restore apps that synchronise data over the Internet (and run a background process). No harm if you do, however they may not sync properly, meaning you'll have to clear their data and reconfigure everything anyway.

OK.
I assume Titanium and Carbon can both do selective restores then of settings and individual apps?
Not used or bought either yet!
