What is the easiest / best way to backup my app settings so I can restore them after I install a new rom. Google seems to take care of all my wifi settings, etc fine, and reinstalls all my apps from the google marketplace, but I have to manually log back into all of my apps, and re-setup all of my apps which is a pain.
I tried installing Titanium backup, but I'm not sure what to select to backup. I don't want to backup the apps since those reinstall automatically fine, I just want the settings for the apps backed app.
Any recommendations?
Titanium allows you to back up system data without backing up the apps. Just launch titanium, hit the menu button, select batch, and run backup all system data

Titanium backup can backup any app including its settings and restore just the settings or the whole app. As was stated above it can also backup settings only for system data.
yes ... but when you restore app + data ,you will feel so bad , specially when you have more than 100 apps ...

I have a full backup and If I select restore missing apps+system data I get FC after FC. If I just do restore all user apps and data all is fine. now the only thing I'm really missing is my sms/texts backups. Anybody know how to restore JUST those in titanium backup ? Our even just a forum and not a WIKI for TB ?
Thanks
Restoring your user apps plus data is fine but restoring system apps is never a good idea the only data I ever restore from the system is memo and bookmarks but ill give you a simple solution restore your user apps and data then if you want to use gosms to backup and restore your text messages I've been doing that for a long time
But if you must use titanium backup only backup the system data you need aka bookmarks memo and texts then just restore them
All you do to restore individual things is scroll through the list and tap on whatever u want then hit restore

to retrieve the sms you have to restore data for [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage and reboot your phone
Get sms backup and restore its much easier to manage them

Anyone have a sucessful method of restoring apps with the specific app logon info (account used for apps)? I currently have the premium versions of Helium and Titanium but neither seems to restore app (data) with app account credentials so I don't have to log back into each single app after a wipe. I just wanted to know what others used since everything I've tried has been hit or miss.
I've nothing. Have to log into everything manually.
OK so I noticed an option with Titanium Backup (MENU --> PREFERENCES --> BACKUP APP EXTERNAL DATA and there is an option to RESTORE the external data a bit further down so I checked that). I tested it on a few apps ( selected to backup\restore external data, logged into apps and backed them up again, uninstalled apps, re-installed and confirmed that app account info was not there, restored data only and rebooted phone) and it restored my login info for the 5 apps I tried. I'm in the process of redoing all my backups (with the save and restore external app data options on) and then I'll do a complete wipe and install of a clean ROM and I'll see if that's the trick.
partial success it worked for some apps but not for others (about 50-50). The search continues.
Hii guys .. I have been using titanium backup from a long time. But from sometime it doesn't seem to be working that good for me. I backed up my apps and data .. Then isntalled a custom rom (bliss pop) i restored the backup (app+data) and although all apps got restored, the data was gone. I lost atleast 8-10 gb of data because i had a lot of heavy games. Do i have any means to recover that data? If not is there any other alternative backup app than titanium backup? For future preference. Otherwise i won9be able to change roms or return to stock.
anyone ?
Hmm..titanium backup is supposed to be the best backup app, dunno why that happened to you.
Anyway, you can also try helium. Its free. I've never personally tried it but ive heard that it works all well as TB and it has a sync feature so u don't need to manually backup all the time when u have some thing new in an app..
Try helium backup. Used to use it when my phone wasnt rooted. Obviously not as good as titanium backup.
Search for Backup+ on xda. An awesome alternative to Titanium backup. Trust me, you'll love it.
TiBu doesn't backup large game data files unless explicitly set in the options. By default it will only back them up if it's under 32MB (See Backup app external data & Select external data by max size)
I use my backup. It's an awesome app. While I was using tb, I switched to it. It's free for a month, so you can try it.

You can do manual backups of heavy games.
1.try backup on apk of the game using app backup and restore app from the play store and backup the apk.
2.most of the heavy games data are stored in Android -> obb.. So keep a backup of obb on the system or phone by just copying it to another folder.
3. After installing a new rom. Place the obb in the android folder and then install back the app from the app app backup and restore.

Press on thanks if I helped you
I was asking earlier about how to make a list of all the apps I have installed, so that when I root my Note 4 (which involves wiping the phone), I can go through the list and easily remember which apps I should reinstall. But someone suggested just using a backup app like Helium, and then restoring them once I root my Note 4.
Will that actually work? Can I just use a backup app like Helium or Titanium or MyBackup, backup all my installed apps and their user data, then root/wipe the phone, reinstall said backup app, and I'll be able to restore all the apps I have installed, and they'll just work?
And if so, does it include things like user data for each app like configuration options and locally stored saved games? Can I go through the list and only restore the apps that I really want, unchecking all the ones I don't want reinstalled?
I'm looking for an elegant way to manage multiple user data for an app on a rooted android phone.
Titanium Backup offers one method but its clunky.
With TB I'd need to set up UserX on the app. Backup app+data - > Backup1
Then wipe data, set up UserY, Backup app + data - > Backup 2. etc
But then if Backup 1 is restored, more data added and then backed up again it makes Backup 3
Id thus need to keep track of which user corresponded with which backup.
Ideally I'd like a backup app that can associate backed up data with a given user, or even just the ability to label the backup file.
Any suggestions?
