Move from one Milestone to another (different ROM & SD-Card)

[maango]

So, I finally have got my hands on another Milestone which means that I can play around with different ROMs as much as I like and still be able to be sure that people can call me on my stable phone. But, installing ~20 apps by hand and restore of messages every time is a pain in the as and therefore I would like to simply make a backup on the SD card and apply all the apps.

I thought that I could simply make a backup via Titanium Backup to SD-Card 1, copy that content to SD-Card 2, install TB on my other Milestone (which uses SD-Card 2) and just restore that way as you do every time you install a new ROM but no, TB can't find anything to restore.

Any thoughts how I should do?


*Milestone 1 uses CM 7.1.5 and Milestone 2 uses CM 9 4.0.4

TB allows you to change to change the directory on the SD card it uses for backups. Make sure it's looking in right one on the 2nd Milestone.

Thx man, turned out the folder with the backup was inside the TB folder (sd/TitaniumBackup/TitaniumBackup/"all backup files").
Well, TB manages to restore some of the apps but not all of em...hmmm...

Think I'm going for installing all the apps by hand insted, takes longer but at least works. Hehe.

As my understanding is with app2ext (default with Kabaldan's CM ROMs) to install all apps you need only copy them from MM1's ext into MM2's ext. During restart all apps should get installed. Obviously its just apps no data, but here the TB may help...

One command, if moving from one ROM to an other do not copy the lib dir from the ext partition.
