I just backed up all my apps in My Backup and for all of them I got a Market Link not found unablento connect to market error.
Im in Thundershed 1.4 rom.
Any idea why I would get this error?
I dunno but why don't you use titanium backup?

I use both. I usually prefer to reinstall apps from my backup because titanium mixes in some (system?) apps that don't play well from one rom to another.
It seems that updating my backup fixed the problem.
It's always best to exclude system apps from your backup. If you don't back them up then you should be ok.

My Backup does that automatically so it reduces my chances of screwing up. I do use titanium for individual apps....just don't like using its batch feature.
I don't know how some developers can write great code all night long. The later it gets the more obvious my errors are the next day.
Yea I used my backup for a while but I got tired of the errors I was getting from using it. You can filter what apps show in your batch list in tibu which makes it easier for keeping system apps out.

I've never figured this out over several devices and many flashed roms... You'd think I would have. Is there a way to auto install all the apps I had on one rom after I re flash? I'm tired of going into the market and hunting down each and every one.

Two words "titanium backup"! Plus if you use Google play music it backs that up too.

Thanks, I'll mess around with titanium backup and see if I can figure it out

Its pretty straightforward. Run a batch to backup all user apps + data. Then after installing a ROM you can run another batch to restore missing apps. I highly recommend this app.

Sometimes the play store reinstalls everything for me automagically, and sometimes it doesnt. I wish i could track down the reasons behind why its so random.

Pretty sure its in the rom. With CM10, upon first boot, there is a choice of "restore my google account to this phone" and if you tick it, it downloads all of your apps (and also wallpaper and wifi passwords, maybe more.) So as far as I can tell, some roms simply dont perform this step.

Just don't do system apps/settings. You're asking for bugs/problems backing them up and restoring them. The only exceptions are "Call Log" and "Messages(SMS & MMS)" both will be in yellow text. Don't do "Messaging" it is the actual app, not the data.

^^What he said. It's ROM specific.
Thanks everyone. I have had most of them automatically reappear, synced through the store, but I have a few apps that were from elsewhere, plus for some reason when going from stock to cm10,not every app appeared. Maybe because of going from an ics to a jb base?

So I have a rooted Asus Transformer (TF101), and I have several games on it that I've made quite a lot of progress in. I was wondering if there was some sort of app or something I could use to back up the save games/data across device reformats. When I went from JB 4.2 to JB 4.3, I thought I had used Titanium Backup correctly, and ended up losing nearly 2 months of progress in several games. Does anyone know if I need to have the Pro version of TB or if I just used it incorrectly? Or even another alternative?
I used Titanium backup (free) several times and never had any issue. Make sure to save apps+data and if device is rooted it should work. Some software for pc (such as Moroboro) can backup data but it don't always work, and this one is pretty invasive.
You can just backup the app data with google in sync settings
I use titanium also
Hmm... I'll have to give it another go after work and class then, and check out the google syncing, thanks for the replies.
another question, somewhat related:
Is it possible to use TB to restore saved data to a non-rooted device if I decide to switch the games to something else?

I've switched ROMs often in these past few days, and one of the few things that annoy me is that I lose my SMS every time. Is there a way to backup and restore? I thought of Titanium, but then I know it's not ideal to use Titanium after clean installs

I've always used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
Saves SMS messages to an xml file on the device.

Looks to be exactly what I was after!
I should have thought to look around in the play store, I just never believed there would be a dedicated app for that.
Thanks for the help!

Titanium works great... I restore all my SMS and MMS all the time when flashing new ROMs. Never had an issue.

There's no problem using titanium on clean installs but the onus is on the user to understand the difference between data/app data, system/app data and why clean installs are required in the first place.

Titanium backup has an option in the menu to back up sms/mms to xml. Much cleaner than contact/phone data in normal backup options on there

Yeah, careful who you listen to. Lol
Titanium backup is an amazing tool for flashers.

Never had a problem restoring SMS/MMS from Titanium...
try Hover Chat ... it offers message backup and has a preety nice pop-up window for messages - I find that very useful
I use the PRO versions ( more skins )

Is that why on some roms the phone process FCs when I use titanium to restore sms/mms? I've been using titanium for quite a while now and experience this from time to time, but never took the time to look into it. The only thing that resolves the problem is throwing the phone into airplane mode and clearing the phone data I had just restored.

Yes I would suspect so.

I tried helium and purchased pro. Although it kept getting dropped while backing up to drive ( possibly because my data speed is very low until they fix it, and my broadband gets installed) what can i do though I use my apps all the time so I can't exactly start checking out all these awesome Roms cause I'll spend more time redownloading apps then trying :/

Helium Backup Premium is the best one out there. Alternatively you could try Titanium backup which also allows backing up to cloud services but it requires root to function.

Is it normal to be asked to enter sign in info after restoring Facebook? I'd assumed one of the benefits of backing up and restoring apps was that login info would be retained... Otherwise may as well just reinstall from Play.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Yes it is, the Facebook app doesn't play well with titanium backup. And yes you could just skip backing it up or you could backup your accounts and restore them and get what you want

Well, you've discovered that Titanium Backup is not completely bullet-proof, i.e. there are some apps that just don't play well with it. Your posting tone almost implies that Titanium Backup is now useless: .after all, you can just reinstall all your user apps from their respective play stores or other sources if you need to. Of course, backing up, freezing/removing, or restoring system apps is another story, but after all, how useful can that really be?
Having to login again is pretty minor if the rest of an apps settings and data are preserved...was that the case with Facebook?
Lol... Yeah my tone did imply that... But am finding it really useful and prob wouldn't be without it now my phone is rooted and flashed especially with all the ROM updates! Do need to get to grips with some of the other features...
