So now that I finally had to use Titanium Backup I’m going to share my experiences as well:
Pros:
- It generally went very well. Contacts, Accounts, Settings, Emails, Texts, … everything restored perfectly.
- I especially like that Fennec’s search preferences were restored too as Firefox Sync doesn’t do that.
- The reason I had to use Titanium Backup - (incompletely) removing proprietary system apps by mediatek from the device with system/app-mover, causing the device to freeze -> reinstalled OS and did a factory reset - wouldn’t have been a problem had I used Titanium Backup in the first place to uninstall those apps. I’m now happily living without Browser, Backup & Restore, E-Mail, FM-Radio, …
(little) Cons:
- Restoring AnkiDroid’s User Data didn’t work, which is very unfortunate as I was just studying for a test I have next Monday.
- QuickDic’s dictionaries and OSM’s maps weren’t restored either
- Restoring multiple users doesn’t work, neither does restoring apps for other users than the owner.
But all in all: big thumbs up
