In a way yes. But make sure you keep at least 2 copies of your EFS backup, one on the phone and one on the PC. And you should keep one in some cloud service. Your other backup (system, data) can be stored anywhere else you wish.

Good backup practice should be weekly for most things, which can be automated via Titanium.

You can also go down the path of flashoholism

Rooting is done when you flash chainfire root file.
Recovery only for slightly advanced users who want to do backup/restore rom n flash custom rom, kernel or modem

one question, does GPU really important? Mali 400 seems to handle thing pretty well although it is old. NFS:MW run pretty smooth on it

He/She's running the PSP emulator. That will surely impact performance.

ops, sorry for my bad english

Thanks for your assistance in rooting my device.

Now My PC didn't detect my phone.
May I know which folder is store the backup file? I already rename the backup file but when I try to search using Astro file manager, I can't find the file.

\TWRP\Backups

Yes i did test it on my s3 before but it not only lags, but force closes as well. Instant uninstall without even trying to find out the reason of failure.

Thanks joytest. Such a huge file. Around 3.5GB in my phone (ticked all option in TWRP backup).
So for better backup, I should get Titanium & Nandroid is it? Since they provide online/cloud backup.

Not necesarily. Nandroid is done via the recovery. So what you have is a "nandroid" in TWRP format. A nandroid is everything on your phone, and is an insurance policy in case you screw up flashing a new ROM.

Titanium backs up your app+data and lets you make selective restore or full restore after a new ROM.

Ok. Will try out custom ROM once I have confident and installed Titanium in my phone.

hi there, what's the major difference between N7100 and N7105 in term of specs besides LTE 4G? thanks

im choosing in between S3 LTE and Note2 since their price is good now lol

Nandroid is a Must incase your phone fail to boot up. Than you boot to recovery n restore
Titanium Only works in a working phone. It only restore 90+% of your apps n
Some stuffs eg sms, call logs etc you need another app to back up it

since lowyat SC was under renovation, then 1u SC got a lot people today
just pass by @@

Thanks. The backup 3.89GB vs cwm 1.8GB .
I see the EFS backup is very small. Two files less than 100kb. Strange.

Today's latest score statistics on "Best" ROM:


This is filtered for ROMs that have at least 3 entries. Max score 45.

Column A is ROM Name, Column B is ROM Version. Column C is the number of submissions.

I made a weighting score for Speedy Updates based on number of days between updates, and adjusted some scores which were too high on Speedy Updates.

Tb also backups sms and call logs. I would say its 100% backup of the phone. Tb have an advantage in u can schedule it to run daily so the backup is up to date. Your nandroid may be weeks or months old if u dun do it often hence tb is top choice for me. I went for months without a nandroid n never felt insecure at all.
