Trouble With Titanium Backup and Stock -> GB Harmonia

[I3ig Al]

Hi guys back again I got my phone all done up and ready for customizing and so on, and I started my girlfriends phone today.

She already has several apps and email data going on stock. I used titanium backup to do a full backup of user apps and system data (minus the bloatware apps from Stock) and then installed Harmonia 2.0. Once I had the fresh Harmonia install running I logged into her gmail and downloaded Titanium Backup from the market, and told it to restore user apps, then restore system data.

everything seemed to work fine and no errors showed up but the email app and several other things keep popping up force closed/crashed. I'm not sure if I did things out of order, or if it doesnt like going from 2.2.2 to 2.3.X.

For now I just reverted to stock, hopefully someone with titanium backup experience can give me some insight.

Also if anyone wants to comment on Titanium Backup vs MyBackup Root/Pro go right ahead, I just grabbed Titanium because it was free

When using TB, never restore system data. You will always have problems only restore user apps. Don't even restore bloat.

So are you saying that it is not possible to carry over data like contacts and email setups? I don't want to interpret your post incorrectly, just want to clarify.

I really hope thats not the case, since my GF has quite a bit already done that we would like to carry over >.< if Titanium can't do it, is there another app that can? or is it just not possible to do it between android versions?

Your contact list should re-populate.
Email only takes a second to put in.

back after a dinner, I realize now that contacts and email are bad examples my fault on that.

we have for instance angry birds, the call log and SMS/MMS threads, a grocery list app with lots of items already typed in. I got the apps to be backed up and restored without data after flashing Harmonia, but once i tried to restore the data everything went to .

Surely there is a proper way to restore data after flashing, else why would the tool exist? Did I do somethin wrong, or does it not work 2.2 -> 2.3?


anyway thanks for the replies you two, happy new years! i'll be messing with it more tomorrow and see what i can find out.

Sms and mms backup and transfer just fine for me between roms but I am using Mybackup Pro.
Angry Birds backup is a pain, and there is a separate app for it.

Sometimes it helps to restore APK's and then data, doing it together sometimes doesn't work.
