I just used Bubbys One Click to root my new inspire and would like to ask a couple of questions if you please. First, what do you use to get rid of the "Bloatware? Second, what do you use to do your backups?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this Android system is a complete new experience for me coming from iOS and the iPhone. I must admit that so far I like it and I am impressed with my Inspire.

Thanks for the tip on Titanium Backup fellows I will download it tomorrow. Now what about some type of file manager for looking at the files?
capman231
One thing I gotta say. If you wanna flash a rom, you need to flash clockwork in Rom manager. But when you boot into recovery its blank so to fix this, I had to Eng s off my phone. I thought I was going to have to run commands and stuff like that to do it but it was as simple as a click of a button. Took like 5 seconds too

MyBackup Root is an outstanding full-function system and apk backup app. There's a free version and the paid version. I liked it so well I gladly paid for it. It seems to do a lot more than Titanium for thorough backups. But Titanium is equally an outstanding backup app. MyBackup Root I think is just the new app on the block and is probably why it isn't well known yet.
I used MyBackup to install all the market apps that normally install during a setup. But the new ROM I installed on my HD2 didn't initiate the setup. I had used both backup apps to create backups of all apks + their data and all system data with MyBackup and used Titanium to do a batch backup. I chose to try MyBackup for restoring all my usual market apps and it did an excellent job of it. It didn't install some Google apks, like Maps or Voice Search, but it was an effortless job to find those and install them.
Either Titanium or MyBackup will suit you well.

You can't go wrong with root explorer. Although it's not a free app, the price is worth it.
Root explorer is excellent, I paid nor it, must have for pushing system files. Then I use astro free version for my regular file browsing stuff.

Titanium Backup. I've only been using it for a day, but everybody I've ever heard who has it says it's wonderfully amazing, and it seems to work pretty well from what I can tell. Root required. If you're looking for something without root, then you won't find much.

I'll second that... its the best i've seen/used
I bought titanium because of all the good reviews....but....out of the 30 or so apps I have installed, it seems to only backup a few...like 8 or so. I kept wondering if I was missing something simple, but when doing batch backup it always list a small portion of the apps I have installed.

Titanium Backup
I've been using it since it first came out.
No problem backing up and restoring 200+ apps on my Nexus One.
Plus it will do settings, sms messages, and bookmarks.
Update. Since I updated to 3.1 and rooted again, seems all 150 or so items are being backed up....yay!

I found this thread while trying to figure out if there is any way to backup BEFORE rooting.
I have a stock 3g Xoom with 3.1 I would like to root it, but my understanding is that it will be wiped, and then I will have to reinstall everything and reconfigure everything, as I now have it, and like it.
So, my question, and I think the question of the original poster, is whether there is a way to backup before rooting? Or is there a way to not loose everything I have now, when I root.
I have used Titanium Backup on my rooted Evo, and it is a great app. But, as was stated, it will only work once the device is rooted.
Sorry if this question has been posed already, I tried searching the forums.
I finally rooted my Thunderbolt with Bamf remix 1.5 and have everything setup. When version 1.6 comes out and I want to upgrade, what should I use to backup all of my apps and data so I can restore everything after upgrading the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
Use Titanium Backup for apps and data. If you need help, let me know. Titanium Backup's UI isn't the most user friendly.
You should always make a backup of your current ROM before flashing anything new. Incase something goes wrong you can revert to your backup. Just use ROM Manager for that.
Thank so much. I made a backup and saved it as update.zip. The problem is when I browse my sdcard with root explorer there is nothing in the "Titanium Backup" folder.
OK nevermind. I think I've got it.

Okay, cool. I would recommend getting the Pro version so you can do batch backups. Although, that feature might be on the free verson. I dunno.
I think you can do batch backups on the free version but only for Apps. I think I tried that last night.
On the free version you have to manually hit install for each individual app and the paid version does of for you in batch mode. It is well worth it to purchase the paid version of titanium, along with root explorer and rom manager if you are new to the root game. Good luck.
Just got my sensation from walmart earlier after selling my mytouch on here and I'm trying to find the best method to use to restore apps without root atm. I haven't factory reset my mytouch so I still have it. What method have my fellow xda'ers used?
You tried titanium backup?

If you reinstall from Market, you'll have to find all the free apps on your own to reinstall them.
Issues including this are why I'll wait till it's unlocked and rooted. Apps like Titanium Backup are too good to live without.

I'm thinking I'm just gonna download apps I use on a daily basis and once root is out I'll restore them all
i just dont get why google dont provide its own app to backup the stuff locally with encryption... every time getting a new phone means losing all data, it is craps like this makes me appreciate the *god forbids* iphone and itune. hopefully the new unlock bootloader allows root to come out fast enough so i can just titanium backup and restore it
Mybackup Pro did work for me, but only just. It restored all the apps but w/o the data.Just an example: It restored my Acrobits VoIP software, but w/o my 3 SIP accounts, which I had to re-define manualy.
I use MyPhoneExplorer, wich gives You ability to backup/restore not only contacts, calendar, notes etc... but also applications. But, as paulmor said, in this app also, You can't backup settings in apps, but only the *.apk files (install files).
See my other post
How to Backup App and Game data... For between flashing of Roms.... And i do it constantly...like every 3-4 days...thnx to techno advancements....and MIUI Builds...
YOu need Titanium Backup to do this. Run a batch backup before flashing and a batch restore after.

titanium backup is nice. just don't like the fact that I have to "accept" and then install for a lot of the apps. oh well, better than downloading from the market... much quicker with TB

The paid version allows batch restores without having to click each time. It's a little pricey but totally worth it.

And you also can manually back it up.
This new app, SyncIt, will sync your game save files to your Dropbox account! This works across phones and for flashing!
you can also backup your apks with mybackup pro and astro file manager pro

True.. just found this out by reading Titanium's FAQ online.
I'm going to try all apps+system backup and see how it restores to the new version of the same ROM. keeping my fingers crossed!

I´m using Titanium Backup and I´m satisfied
Last time i used Titanium Backup and restored with it, my market dident recognized the apps :/ is it normal or where i just unlucky ?
I am getting the infuse on Tuesday when it comes in FedEx. Right now I have my Captivate rooted and I have used apps to backup my Captivate when installing or updateing Roms. The apps I have been using are ones that need to have my phone rooted. I am not sure if I want to root my infuse as soon as i get it. I am wondering what are some good apps that I can backup my data with on my Captivate and transfer it to my Infuse with out having to root my Infuse?
Or is there not a way to save all my game saved data?
I personally use Mybackup root but Titanium backup is a good one too..
Unfortunately, I think root is going to be a prerequisite for you to be able to restore your previous apps. TitaniumBackup is an excellent choice. Just remember to only restore apps, never system data; and to also only restore apps that are missing rather than just batch restoring everything that you have backed up.
Rooting from my experience does nothing but open doors for you though. So, it won't hurt to give it a go. =)
Rooting and titanium backup is the easiest.... I came from a captivate too and have all my apps and data from it on my Infuse now.

Ok so I will have to root to be a backup to save all the info. One click will work on this phone like my captivate correct?
Its funny but I'm in the same circumstance u are, my infuse should show up tomorrow. Personally my favorite app for baking up/restoring apps is titanium backup. For text my backup pro.
(my backup pro is slower with apps, & I tend to have problems with titanium correctly backing up text /call logs.
I plan on rooting my infuse, flashing a rom. Then installing them manually just because I want to start fresh.
But in the future I'll use the titanium/my backup mix again.

Yes, but you MUST have the Infuse drivers installed for it to work!
