[HOWTO] Backup my SGS, Backup Apps, Best practices before & after flash

---

Good evening guys,

I tried to backup my diary entries using Titanium Backup, but when I tried to restore them on the new Firmware they didn't appear. Same for my SMS Messages...

Could you tell what exactly I have to backup?

Thank you for your help!

Backup Methods Before Flashing?

---

I've been using MyBackupPro, but it does not save any of my settings. I have to set up a lot of stuff like email accounts and so on every time I flash.

Is there a better way?

Have you tried titanium backup? I find it works best.

No I haven't yet. I read reviews of MyBackupPro, saying it's the best So I bought it.

Does Titanium Backup save preferences, including passwords and email settings?

Hey,

I believe it does, it saves all of my preferences with games like Alsphalt so it should do the same with your e-mail.

Try it, it's free.

stupid question: Is somebody working on a custom recovery image with Nandroid or something?

I hope someone is, that would be best option, titanium is brilliant though and has saved me a few times, I have it scheduled to backup everynight.

I also use Mybackup pro for sms and call logs etc.

neither can bring your homescreen widgets back as before.

Is there anything that saves your facebook/google links in contacts? That's the thing I find most annoying having to go back through them one by one...

Titanium backup in its current form is not functioning correctly on my phone aswell as many other galaxys users

yes - unfortunately Titanium Backup currently won't backup the databases :(
