OK so im running CyberGR V10, and im wondering how to properly make it to where my apps get backed up so that when i try out a new rom or wipe and flash his latest that it will auto restore the apps from the market.
I currently have it set to backup my app data to my google account... but even when playing with other roms like odie's miui it never had an option to restore my apps. Maybe im missing something.
You could try titanium backup, there's a free version

Hey,
I have the international version (I9000) of the Samsung Galaxy S, and I flashed the beta of CM7 which is 2.3.2,
I was wondering if there was a way or an app that can backup so that the restore works in 2.2.1?
You mean backup your apps and restore them? Or something else? If you are talking about the apps, yes, just download Titanium Backup. Be aware, with changing versions, you can only backup and restore apps, not system settings or any other system software.
So also the data of the apps will get restored right?
Anyone knows?

I haven't used TB in your specific situation, but it has always restored the user apps & data anytime I switch ROMs.

Actually I had experience restoring the WhatsApp app+data using TB from 2.3 CM7 ROM to 2.1 stock ROM. But WhatsApp reports corrupted data so I guess some app might actually change the data structure in higher version ROM. So be prepared when downgrading your ROM.
so i have titanium backup..
anyway..just flashed my first rom....and when i booted the first time. i set up my google account. Before i could even get to titanium my phone was downloading all my apps and contacts from google.
Any opinions on googles ability to restore stuff? Im contemplating wiping again and disabling auto restore before i set up google. Is it worth it?

Google backup works just fine for downloaded apps and contacts, so why bother?
Well for me this didn't work. I did some wipes now but the Google backup functionality never worked for me. Therefore I always use TB.
well this is the first time ive flashed a custom rom. Was running stock for the first few weeks of root.
The first time i flashed and set up my phone google didnt do anything
Was having some probs so i decided to wipe and reflash...the second time google went crazy and started dowloading everything from the market.
I always use Ti Backup. In my experience, Google backup doesn't always backup and/or restore all my data and I end up uninstalling and re-installing through TB anyways.
If you choose to go the TB route, remember to force a re-do of all your backups (or at least of user apps) before wiping data and flashing a new rom. That way you'll ensure having the most current data from your apps when you re-install.
Also if you want to only restore from titanium, just skip the google sign in setup, and uncheck the restore from google setting. Go to the market and download titanium restore all the apps and data, wifi and bluetooth settings only. Restoring system data from an old rom or stock rom to a new one may bork your system.

Yes but make sure your phone wont autosync. When you skip the setup that should also skip the autosync as well. Just in case go to settings, accounts and sync and make sure autosync is unchecked. Sign into the market and get titanium backup. If you have a rom like coredroid, it may already be included. Check your particular rom for details.
Well I used titanium after I reflashed. I restored all user apps. System data is where I'm confused cuz there is so much data. I'm thinking contact sms Bluetooth settings wifi settings and sense desktop are what you would want to backup. Most of these were in green type.
However..... After restoring I still noticed multiple copies of friendstream and a lot of weather apps which all seem to be the same thing. I dlfeel like I got a bunch of dupes
Quick question. There have been times where I've read that it's not good to restore stuff from Titanium Backup when flashing a new rom but is it on to just restore the apps without data? I think that's essentially the same as just downloading then from the market right?

At the batch menu you can restore missing apps with data. You just don't want to restore any system data.

Ok thanks. I thought the app data as a problem also.

I always restored my missing apps without data in the past (didn't restore any system) just to be on the safe side, but that's good to know that restoring data works fine for user apps.

Wanted to know what you did is it applicable if you are upgrading your rom from gingerbread to ics?
And i also did that but was always on gingerbread
I used titanium backup when for the first time to backup all my apps + app data and restore it after installing a new rom. It didn't work. It took forever to install the apps because I didn't pay for the premium version, and after it did install it didn't actually transfer the app data properly for most of my apps. My save games were lost and most apps didn't log me in from the save data.
So i downloaded Go Backup, which is much simpler to use and always works. Backsup all apps you want, and restores them in the same way titanium pro does, all at once without you having to accept each app. And the difference is my game saves and app accounts were auto logged in the first time I opened them. I would say Go Backup is a much better solution if all you need to do is backup apps + app data. Don't waste your time with titanium (and it's crappy UI).

Not entirely sure about that. I'd imagine so, but haven't had personal experience with such.
I've noticed that after flashin gapps (gapps-ics-20120429-signed) for cm9.1 there is nothing installed like gmail, youtube etc. Should i reflash it?

The thing is you should not restore system data from other Android version, because this broke things in the system,
now if you talk about apps, you can restore the data for that app and probably you don't have trouble whit that app,
but some apps install specific version of the app for specific version of the Andriod, in this scenario you'll have problem with that app,
but there aren't so much apps that work in this way.
I hope explained this well, and sorry for my english.
Good luck.
in short...always install new apps,,,no backup nothing like that
(thanxzzz)
Use titanium backup to back up app data . working fine for me..
So, I'm going to install a new rom. I'm going back from JB to ICS. I was planning to wipe everything using TWRP. Meaning I'll wipe: system, cache, dalvik, factory reset, and android secure. Now I'm looking for a good backup app that can help me restore all of my apps and their saves after I install the new rom. I want to restore all of my games together with all of my save files. I've heard of Titanium and Go although I hear that titanium is only good if it is the paid version. Hopefully, you guys can provide me with a great backup app that is free. Thanks.
For root users: Titanum Backup.
For non root users: Carbon.

My phone is rooted. Is titanium backup still good even though it is just the free version and not the paid version?

Backup and restore is in paid version only
But u can find the cracked version from google
Restoring system files after installing rom is not advisable
I recommend only to restore some files like games data files from titanium backup but not others

The Free version can do backup and restore just fine. You need Premium version to do batch restores.

Yes, its good enough, unless you want more goodies like batch restoring of backed up apps, unlimited schedules, cloud syncing, restoring from nandroid backups etc. For that, you need to go PRO. Trust me, its worth the money.
P.S. Even if you're rooted, you can use Helium (previously Carbon) also. :good:
Do you guys know of any free backup app that can do batch restore?
Titanuim back up is the best app to do that. The free version makes it longer to restore because it asks permission for every singal app it restores. so if you have a 100 apps, then you'd have to press "yes" 100 times and i found that so annoying. lol. It is worth every penny you pay for sure. And just like the other guys said, I don't recommend restoring the systems files at all, you will get a lot of FC's and error messages and it gets soooo annoying. Restore only the "missing apps". If you like the how you organized your touchwiz, back it up then restore it on the ROM.I have been using titanuim for too long and I know quite a bit about it. Just ask if you have anything question
For me Titanum Backup is also the best backup app for android
Titanium is so worth the money if you want to backup and restore frequently.
