I've currently got a rooted HTC Hero and using Titanium Backup. I'm now looking to move over to a Samsung Galaxy S and not completely sure how the restore will work. I'm pretty sure it will be straight forward for the 3rd party user apps but what happens with the system apps?
I'd like to have things like SMS, call logs data etc restored. But if I restore all system apps and data, will this restore system applications that weren't designed for SGS? I'm thinking of the things that might be specific to the HTC Hero e.g. Sense UI stuff.
Thanks
Try "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore"

i want to restore my Galaxy S to the stock rom, but i want to retain all my apps that i have installed and settings etc...
so in titanium backup, should i batch backup just user installed apps, or user installed apps + user data?
Just installed apps. User data is like.. brightness, bluetooth, roaming etc system settings that won't be compatible across different types of ROMs
gotcha thanks!
app-data is the data saved by apps (saved games, saved pwds, etc)

This is probably a little late I know, but I always back up apps + data.
This will allow me to go into my apps without having to log in again and also apps like Mileage will have all my entries still in there.
So... my suggestion is to always back up both apps and data every time.
I plan on rooting my t-bolt soon and flashing one of the deflated ROMs soon. What's the best method for backing up apps and settings, and should it be done prior to rooting of after rooting but prior to flashing?
Any tips/feedback are appreciated.

*Call logs backup and restore

I dont know anything worthwhile to backup your apps, its better to have root and titanium backup.

Right, and I'm familiar with Titanium Backup, but it requires root, and the current root method wipes the phone as I understand.

I generally use SMS Backup and Restore on my phones, but this was giving me a problem on the TB. I restored about 5000 SMS messages from my OG Droid, but when on the TB it will crash it. This seems to be a problem with the messaging store, as both the stock messaging app and Handcent will crash (force close).
Anyone else having this problem?
I use Mybackup Pro to backup SMS, MMS, call logs, settings, apps, etc. It has a schedule feature so it backs up everything every night to my SD card.
I've used it to restore my sms, mms, and call logs...but havent used it to restore apps or their data. (for instance, i've never restored my angry birds scores and I dont know if its possible without root)
So take a look at that app and hopefully that might help you out.
Oh, and to better answer your question, I use Titanium backup to backup all of my apps and data. Unfortunately, you will have to be rooted for it to work.

+1 for MyBackup Pro. You need root to restore app data and market links. First thing I did after I rooted was restore my Angry Birds backup from my Fascinate. lol

So, does Mybackup Pro do the same thing as Titanium Backup? Or do you use Titanium Backup as well?
I'm thinking of rooting soon, so I figured if its the same thing as Titanium Backup, i wont have to pay for a new app.
basically. It allows you to back up and restore apps, app data and market links. You can also back up call logs, sms, mms, calendar, contacts, alarms and some other miscellaneous things along with scheduled backups. I just find the interface to be much more user friendly than when I was playing around with Titanium Backup.

They basically do the same thing. Titanium backup does take a little getting used to, as the interface isn't very intuitive. Once you get used to it, you should have no problems.
Either one is good.
I looked up MyBackup on the Market and I see it'll back up apps but root is needed for app-data backups. Am I SOL for backing that up before rooting? I wonder if a non-wiping root method is forthcoming...

Dear all,
Like you, I've been flashing roms a lot. Some roms, however, require or need full wipe. With Titanium backup, I could easily restore app+data. It is even easier now when Titanium Backup can restore from Nandroid (tar format).
By searchin and reading around, I now know that backing up [SMS/MMS/APN] item means I could restore "SMS logs". What about "call logs" and other system settings, such as home screen layout.
I saw a [Contacts/Calls] Contact Storage item, I wonder if it is the one for call logs? I once backed up contacts (with another app) and then re-synced with Google, ending up with doubled contact list.
What thing do you use Titanium Backup for? Tell me their whole names please so I can easily find them in the application. There are so many things I don't know what to backup. And I can't think of any and there might be so many useful stuff I've just missed. So please share what do you backup up with Titanium?
User apps and a few bits of system data like the Data Usage Allowance settings, Bluetooth Pairings.
The easy way to use Titanium is to click on Menú button, and there go to "Lotes" (sorry have it Spanish), which for me is the option top-right.
There you have the diferent quick options, one of them is to Copy your apps, and down you have the one to restore them
For me that's the menú! Just take care, ones you start copying things don't touch your screen, just leave the device do it's work... I don't know why but if I touch anything Titanium blocks and I have to kill the process to restart the copy (same with back up, not a big deal really, just let it do its job )
I backup my text history, app data, email account settings etc. Much easier to blaze through Titanium to be right where I left off before flashing.
I just use Titanium when I flash a new rom. I nandroid the previous ROM so I can have a complete backup in case the new ROM sucks. The cool part about TB is that it can restore from nandroid, so I kill two birds with one stone. As soon as I boot up the new ROM, I extract all the apps I want from nandroid with TB.
games. but im going to look into email account wifi passwords, that would be extra handy.

whats the name of the file that u backup for text messages?
Hello, I've had the oneplus 8T for 2.5 years now. For a week now I have rooted it again, after 2 years ago. So I did a backup until today with the oneplus app. And I manually uploaded it to the cloud.
So I'm looking for an app that can backup apps, data, SMS, call logs, contacts, settings and the layout of folders on the phone's desktop. And of course the application can upload the backup to the cloud. To be able to have the scheduling option.
I did some research on my own and discovered the Following, but I need your help.
Swift Backup:
Backup apps, data, call logs, contacts, sms.
Stores the backup in the storage and in the cloud.
I also discovered Neobackup, Titanium Backup and Backup rom. Can you write me what are the differences between them? Because I haven't understood...
I read somewhere that Neobackup is the best but it does not backup call logs, sms, contacts. And it doesn't upload to the cloud either.
Note, the comments I read about swift, it was 2022. So I want answers with the latest versions of these apps.
Swift Backup is the best overall
kaskanderTWRP/OrangeFox backups whole device partitions (like /system or /data) with everything inside them.
By restoring this backup you can revert your whole device (android version and your data) to the state on the time of backup.
Apps like swift, titanium, neo backup, backup your apps and their settings, also you can try to backup system apps settings to restore layout of folders (lancher app settings backup).
Titanium backup was once a gold standard of android backup apps, but as it is not being developed since 2019, it can't handle split apks and doesn't work very well with the latest android versions. So it can still be used, but not recommended.
Swift backup works well with the latest android versions, you can choose to backup your apps and data locally or on google drive or something similar. If you backup your apps in the cloud you can easily access those backups from another phone and restore them.
Backup files are encrypted too and app is proprietary one.
Neo-backup, as far as i understool does everything as Swift backup, and is open sourced.
Alternative to Titanium Backup?
