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.

Titanium Backup
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

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 ?
Is there a way to convert stock Froyo to Gingerbread? I'm trying to convince my wife to upgrade simply for the battery life but she doesn't want to lose her settings or apps... I'm on Valhalla myself but I did a clean flash....

U can always use titanium backup. Its on the market for free and it backs up all your apps and data and then u download the app after a clean install and then u can restore them. But u have to be rooted

When restoring from titanium backup, does it restore installed apps?

+1 for Titanium backup. Just make sure you only back up user apps and not user apps + system data. The system data from Froyo will not play nice on a GB rom.
Unfortunately, Titanium Backup is the only way. Just be sure to backup only user apps. When you restore, restore user apps and data.
Do not use a Froyo backup in CWM to advanced restore data, since that will mess up some important functions on GB.
Thanks, I'll try that... by the way, can you use a titanium backup pro license on 2 phones? No biggie, since I have a pro licence... otherwise I'll be getting another licence...

you can use it on two phones, if they are on the same google account.
there IS a way around this, so PM me and I will be happy to share.
Pro version of TB isn't needed if you are just backing up and restoring apps. The free version works fine for that.
Hmmm...I think I made a mistake...
After reading this I believe I made a mistake. I just flashed from Froyo to GB (Valhalla Black) and before doing so did a TB with apps & system data. Is there a way to recreate the 'accounts and sync' from my back up...it seems to FC when I try to access anything 'account' related. :/

Raver has said he did not include accounts and sync in his ROM. You can pull the .apk from another ROM and push it into your system. You may try this and see if it fixes your problem.
Hey,
I'm new to all this ROM flashing stuff. I did a couple and they worked overall pretty well (I didn't expect flawless), but each time I've had to reconfigure the device all over again, reinstall all apps, etc. Any easy way to avoid doing this? It ends up leading to a lot of wasted time I could be spending finding other ways to mess with my phone...hehe.

Sync up all your contacts and use titanium backup for restoring and backing up apps.

i bought titanium backup exactly for this reason. the paid version installs everything very fast and automatically, the free version is still helpful but you have to manually press install and ok on every app.
Also along with TB try to remember to make a "Safe" NAND backup for your phone when it is set up and working great. This is a life saver when you flash an awesome "insert something here" and it eff's up your phone you then have a clean working backup to return to with little fuss. Rom manager does it along with a few others. Welcome to the fun. Remember to READ the forum carefully their have been a lot of Hard bricks lately because people tried to install a non compatible ROM.
Titanium backup is the way to go. I want to make an android application that restores all your data from a nandroid backup after you flash a new ROM...

Thanks for asking this!
Thanks for asking this! I've flashed custom ROMs on my old phone, but started over from square one each time. I assumed everyone did this. I've heard of Titanium Backup many times, but I guess I always assumed people just wanted a safety net. I didn't realize you could use it to "re-install" apps into a newly flashed ROM.

who makes this?
Go to the market and buy titanium back up its, the best out there after flashing rom go to titanium back up again and Pico the apps you want back on you device or reinstall them all
I use SMS backup and restore too when I wipe all my phone data, which I found in the market. It backups your text messages to sd card before you wipe and you can restore after. I find it quite helpful.
Make sure you restore apps only withTB don't restore data it can cause problems. I only restore data on a small hand full of apps individually.
If you use a custom launcher they can usually back up seeing and home screen use that.
I would suggest making a nand backup of a fresh stock rom before you install apps as to keep its size small

Also important to mention that if you go between different versions of Android then never restore system data as it will usually cause force closes

Yeah, I download Titanium and its da bomb, however, I was a bit concerned about overwriting system apps. If you do a complete restore, won't you bugger up your newly flashed device completely? I also noticed that when, for example, I restored Amazon WITH data, it made me enter my id and pw all over again.
Fortunately, I haven't bricked mine yet. I'm eager to avoid doing that as it would cost me $$$$ to replace it. Is it a problem returning a bricked device under warranty by essentially playing "dumb" user?
I only back up user apps.

What about when your just updating a rom? Do you still need to wipe and restore with TB or can you just flash the update?

Advanced restore in cwm, make a nandroid before you flash, then choose advanced restore and restore data, good to go, no app needed

I always use Titanium backup for restoring the apps... There are a few in the market but most of them did not work well for me (although they have quite good rating). I have a Titanium free so I have to select the apps I want to re-install and do it one at a time if you are willing to spend money I will say that you get the paid version where it is much easier to re-install
N'joy

To be honest, I didn't know about this. And so this works when going from any ROM to any ROM?? It's as simple as that? No special considerations for certain situations?

Yep. You backup your apps in Titanium, flash the new ROM then download Titanium backup again and restore your apps. It's quite self-explanatory if you actually tried using the app.
It creates the backup files on SD card, so that on data reset, the app vanishes but it's files remain in SD. So you should download titanium backup once you flash a new ROM and it will take care of apps further.
You can even backup the app data with TB, like your app settings, game data etc.
But I've seen that restoring game with data doesn't always work well.
But it works cool with other apps.
LIFE! Enjoy it while you Still have it!

You can restore all of your apps by your Google Account.
In fact, go to your settings:
=> backup and reset
=> look if Backup my settings is ticked (if not - tick it)
=> look your backup account, if it's good
=> Look Automatic Restore is ticked (if yes, it's good for you, if not it's bad, but tick it for the next time)
And if you see that Automatic restore is ticked, just synchronize your Google account, and let's play.
All of your Apps ans Settings will be restored

You can get titanium backup to create a flashable update zip with all your apps, if you flash rom, gapps and then the update zip titanium will restore all the data for the apps after the phone restarts

Hi guys...today I downloaded fifa 12 on my phone and played it a couple of hours then I backed it up using titanium backup...and flashed a new rom!then I restored back fifa 12 from titanium backup but I was shocked that it only backed up app not the 1.5gb data..now I have to download it again to play the game...my question is that is there any app which backup the downloaded files as well????..please help

I kind of understand that you'd expect TiBu to backup the entire thing, but big games are usually in at least those 3 pieces (app, game data, state/save data). The easiest thing would be to use ES file explorer or another root explorer and just save the 1.5gb manually. I also don't know why it wouldn't be right where you left it after the ROM update, unless you are one of those people who wipe everything and then install a new ROM and then restore everything again.
TiBu will save your game state data, which will have your progress and saves in it. It will also save the APK, but it won't save all of the other game data, such as maps, worlds, equipment, art, etc.
