Titanium Backup.

One method is to just download them again from the market, or use a backup program to save and then restore them.

titanium backup works really well. I dont know how good it works while switching between roms. Its definitely the best though

But I have to setup all the homepage settings again, is there any chance to save that setting as a file?

Use titanium backup. Before rom flashing.
1. Backup all USER apps.
2. Backup [desktop] htc sense. This is for your desktop configuration or home pages if using sense.
Flash new rom. I usually wipe data, factory reset since I have back ups. This way I always get clean installs of new rom.
After flashing, download titanium backup from market. In titanium backup
1. Restore missing USER apps + data. Note only user apps.
2. Restore DATA ONLY for [desktop] htc sense. Note data only.
You are now all set .... enjoy your new rom
Also using titanium backup pro version is easier since you don't have to manually say install for each app.

Thx! It works!

I use a combination of titanium backup and mybackup pro because they both have their pros and cons.
MyBackup Pro allows you to backup sms, mms, call log, calender data, homescreen apps and settings, and many more..
Titanium backup is more about apps and less of sms,mms, homescreen and call log backup. ( I probably don't know how to do it)

I went to "backup/restore" tab in titanium backup pro...now how do I backup all of my apps? lol

Also, does backing up/restoring apps mess up anything when getting a new rom?

Or you can download mybackup pro. I use that and titanium backup just to be safe

Some widgets may not load correctly the first time but all you have to do is erase them and put them backup on the homescreen...most people fix permissions after doing a restore and everything runs perfect

Question before flashing. Backing up everything

Before I flash to paragon I have a question. Currently iam on cognition2.17(i think). Can I use rom manager to back up my phone in its current state(with contacts, apps, settings, txt msgs and so fourth)?

If your question is can you rom manager backup then restore over paragon, no.
Titanium backup for user apps
Export contacts to sd
Its if I don't like paragon, I can revert back to my current set up.

If you flash cog first then restore, yes.
But you need to flash cog first, and if you are on 2.17 make sure it is 2.17 and not a 2.2 variant
Does rom manager backup apps like titanium?
Not exactly, rom manager can help you make a backup of your rom. This includes apps, TB just restores your applications ac/dc system data. So restoring one only does apps, the other restores a previous rom.

How do you guys restore apps and settings from switching between roms!!

I know this is a noob question, but how does everyone reinstall there settings and apps after superwipes? Do you guys use titanium? Cause I thought titanium restores like that made crashes. I'm going from HD 3.6.11 to 6.0.1..

Yes titanium is the way most here restore and back up apps. The trick is to restore apps with data only and NOT system data. Restoring system data from another rom to a new different rom will conflict and cause force closes. Kinda self explanatory if you think about it a bit. But bottom line titanium is the way to go when traveling from rom to rom. Titanium is good, but nandroid backups is THE way to back up your set up prior to flashing new stuff. Happy flashing.
But you don't need to restore your system settings other than bt profiles and wifi access points.
When I was using my Desire I used to use mybackup pro. It is a great app. Try it. It will restore your apk's as well as data.

Download titanium backup. Click on the backup/restore tab. Then tap your menu button on your phone. Hit batch. Backup user apps. That will put a folder in your sdcard called TitaniumBackup with your backups in it. After flashing a new rom, download titanium backup again and go to batch. And hit restore user apps with data

+1 for titianium.
as far as contacts go, you have these backed up automatically to your gmail account when you set it up, or do a manual export to your sd card from within the 'people' app.
how about the green system info
My question is similar and having learnt the hard way when installing the system apps and data causing new ROM to FC often.
However, other than the "missing app and data" do you restore anything else? which is safe to do? I assume the account info, access point, MMS is ok? How about the desktop? Is there a way to restore how the apps were organized (i.e. the folders they are placed)?
Also, when you reinstall titanium backup after a new ROM, will it automatically know you can download the pro version if it's bought in market place? Or else, how can one avoid having to pay again to reinstall?
Thx.
You can restore SMS & MMS with the stock Messaging-Program.
Thats the way I do it: Save Apps with Titanium, Store Messages & Contacts to SD-Card and make Screenshots from my desktop´s.
When you change the OS, you can´t restore Systemsettings. Like the Desktop as well.
The Titanium Pro can be activated on a different OS Version. Just download the free one and activate it by the given Key from the paied Version.
Use Titanium Backup its the best one out for android os
So take a screen shots of the folders the apps r in and just reorganized it all over? There's no way to do it automatically then?
Thx

There is a system setting for allowing you to backup the Sense desktop. I forget exactly whatever its called in titanium but it does work after you flash a new Rom and need to restore.

Titanium pro is the best tool with daily schedules of Redo backsups for modified data and new apps.

Best backup solution

Hi all,
In preparation for the upcoming ICS upgrade i was planning on doing a hard reset afterwards to start afresh but was wondering what is the best way to back up the following:
Contacts
Apps
Settings
The rest i can deal with sorting out its just those 3. Do the apps stay in the memory of google play once i log in again? Also do contacts automatically sync to my gmail account? Or do i need an app for these
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
contacts you go to contacts press menu key then choose import/export to external storage then it will back it up when you flash a rom grab a file explorer from market find the .vcf file in your root of sdcard or sometimes located in system
For the rest i use titanium backup from market its free but it worth being bought..

Contacts: Google should sync those automatically assuming you added them under your Google account.
Apps: If you have Google Backup and Restore enabled it'll re-download your apps automatically but use Titanium Backup as mentioned above.
Settings: Titanium does this too.
cheers guys, i'm downloading titanium free for the moment hten will buy the proper one when i get paid
Correct that im not rooted so cant use titanium anyone have any other ideas?

[Q] Titanium backup and the rooted skyrocket

Just wondering If this app is a good idea to have or do we really need it?
From what I have been reading, it is... doesn't cwm and a nandroid backup accomplish the same thing.... Also is the current version compatible with the ics leaks and all current roms?... I will continue my research but thought I'd throw this out here... It is a question.... Thanks...
Cwm backs up 95% of your setup (it doesn't catch the modem), it's also an all or nothing backup and restore. You can't selectively pick apps or data to restore. That is where titanium comes into play. You can selectively backup your apps their data and your user data (texts, mms, contacts). This is really useful if you flash new Roman. You don't have to reinstall all the apps and data from scratch. You can do batch backup and restore. Titanium also allows you to recover apps from Cwm backups. It's really useful

Titanium works wonders with ICS. I use it after every flash. The previous post described it perfectly. Backup and restore what you want. Its a must have for a flashaholic. I highly reccomend it. You wont regret it. Oh and you can delete, freeze, and unfreeze apps that you dont use or bloatware.

Yes, I've used TB with the ICS leaked ROMs.
I'll third that. I was without home internet few over a month and instead of re-downloading apps and using my data I was able to just restore using TB whenever I was flashing roms. I just started using it and wonder what I did without it.
Titanium Backup is awesome if you switch out ROMS and want all your APPS back without individually re-downloading them.
You can Backup selectively or all apps at once. Restore them selectively or all apps at one.
You can even backup to Dropbox for those unique apps that you don't want to risk losing.
If you are rooted, Titanium Backup is an essential App in my opinion.

Noob question, how to get all apps back after flashing new rom?

When I wipe my phone to flash a new rom, It takes a while to download all my apps again.
How can I get them back quicker/easier?.
Thanks
Most people use Titanium Back up. It's fairly painless

So backup apps + data? Apps only?
Thanks man
Ps. When I click on backup all user apps, apparently I only have 3 apps? I clearly have a ton more than that. What gives?
I use Titanium to restore data on a few important apps like games and such, but I always download my apps fresh from the market every time. I use an app called App List Backup to keep track of what apps I had installed.
