Hi, dear friends!
I have a tuned system on my Skyrocket under GingerBread (cultivated for a long time on others phones and moved phone-to-phone with Titanium).
If I will install a custom ICS rom, will I have a possibility to move my apps from GB with a Titanium too?
Thank You!

Yes, your apps will move with you (their functionality too) from GB to ICS using TBu. Some of your apps may have ICS specific versions which ought to update automatically through the play store.
Is that what you were getting at?
*edit, make sure to save your backup remotely or on your SD card!!!
And what about some system options like stored passwords or wi-fi spot and blabla?

Do not restore system settings or system data across OS versions. It can be done, but is a lot of trouble.

This is my first post here so it'll probably be in the wrong spot and say something everyone already knows etc etc
I recently battled through an installation of the CM-6.1.3 ROM and when i restored apps using titanium backup/restore I kept getting force closes using the camera and even when trying to choose a ringtone.
The mistake i was making is that you can't just restore all apps with titanium. Your old versions of apps will over-write the CM-6.1.3 versions and cause issues. I had to go and restore only the minimum number of my user apps making sure i wasn't over-writing an app already built into the ROM.
If this is so basic as to not be worth sharing....sorry. But I imagine a lot of noobs like me with new ROM problems could trace it back to improper titanium use?
Some things to consider:
1. What was the last ROM you backed up your apps on.
2. Did you enable application moving in CyanogenMod Application settings.

You cannot backup your apps from Android 2.1 and restore them to Android 2.2 (CM 6.1.3), the data will not be compatible. And make sure you do enable Application Moving or else you may run out of space on your phone's internal storage.

I just restore my apps and their data with tb. Always works fine for me.
I dont restore any built in stuff at all, it only takes a few minutes to run through the settings.

Hey guys,
Im sure many of you know about the problems which can be caused backing up apps and restoring them to different android versions (problems with force close, reboots, general instability / compatibility).
I found this great free app which makes a list of all your apps you have installed into an XML on your sd card (so it wont get wiped when flashing your phone) and will allow you to open the XML and select an app and it will take you to the market place page for your selected app to download it again.
I find the market place 'my apps' will only remember my paid apps after changing roms and this is a much more reliable way and safer way to get your apps back, plus its just easier to have all your old apps in a list ready to download and not searching for ages right?!
I flash my phone quite regularly and with this app you can be sure you get the correct version of your apps not restoring one that's not compatible and cause problems.
Here's the App Brain link http://www.appbrain.com/app/zemna-applist-backup/net.zemna.android.applistbackup. I don't expect this to changes lives buts its a helpful tool, for free!
I'm not the dev for this app and take no credit for his / hers / their work! Feel free to hit 'THANKS' if this is useful to you.
Enjoy ;-)

to be honest not much usefull,but still appreciated...!!
I found it good, each to their own opinions I guess. Just thought I'd share cos my market never shows my free apps after flashing and its just easier to use this than spend ages searching for the all again, there're just there in a list ready to download

Already done
easiest way is to copy /data/app to your sd card. then copy all the apks from there to your computer and put them into flashtool's "/custom/app" folder. then after flashing your new rom, click "customize" in flash tool. bam, all your apps are installed without having to wait for downloading.
biggest downfall is losing app's saved "data". ei highscores and settings.
you can back these up by copying the program's data folder from /data/data to your sd card. the data folder for the program will look like this:
come.rovio.angrybirds (angry birds)
inside the data folder you will find different data files, some will be settings, highscores, etc. it will be different for every program. once you reinstall the app. you can copy JUST the data files to replace settings, scores, etc. don't copy the entire folder or you will get FC's.
That makes sense although iv never tried it. In theroy you could use the flashtool to put all the apps back on the phone and then with titanium back up restore data only and it not cause problems?

why not just use titanium backup? there's a free version. it needs root, but if you're flashing roms so often, you would already have root. you can back up everything, and batch restore everything. better than clicking 1 app at a time imo

I see where your coming from but backing up and restoring apps between different versions of android isn't really a good idea and there is different versions of apps for different android versions which is where the compatibility issues and stability problems come in.
The idea of this is it saves all your apps and you can download the right version for your particular configuration on your phone.

i hate restoring with titanium. you have to confirm each individual reinstall.
There is a batch mode you know and just leave it to do its thing automaticly. Batch restore brings everything back, I only had to confirm once at the start of the process

thanks for recommending this app, as it is really useful
i do not recommend tb/mybackup if you are switching between android versions as some apks might not be compatible
using this you can link to the market really easy and it ensures you having apps installing in the right way =)

You should read the OP again, TB isn't always the best choice. Especially between different roms and versions of android.

I use TB and restore just the app, no data.
For games like AB there are back up apps available on the AM and I've not had any problems using this method!

Your lucky then I guess. Really the idea of this is if your changing your android version though, ie; going from 2.1- 2.2 ,2.2 - 2.3 or down grading your android version. It helped me anyway....

OK – I know this sounds ridiculous but I’m getting ready to flash the Infuse with a custom ROM but I want to save a couple apps for the new ROM.
Is there a way I can selectively save these stock apps on a SD card (before I flash) and reload them after I flash (and where does AT&T/Samsung have them stored)?
Thank you guys, you all do great work and we all appreciate it.

Well is there anyway to root without losing my data? And what exactly does it erase, that's because I downloaded some Gameloft games and here my net is VERY slow (100kb/s), so I need o know if it will be erased, as well Bug Village save data, Gun Bros, Contract Killer, Angry Birds, well there's too much , so I want to know if there's anyway to don't format, for example I didn't need to format my x10 mini pro when I rooted it.
Thanks for your attention, waiting for answers

I'm kind new at this to and I didn't have much on my phone when I rooted it but I backed up my pics, vids, and other data from my sd card to my pc. If you've purchased apps from the market then they should already be backed up by google and titanium backup is a good app for backing up all apps. like I said I'm new and I was more worried about getting rooted than what I was gonna lose but if I remember correctly it flashes your card so backing up all your data would be wise.

It is the unlocking that wipes your data, so yes you will use what data you can't backup but you will get your apps back if you are synced to your google account.
So do yiu guys know someway to root without unlocking the bootloader, sorry for this questions, that's because Xperia X10 mini pro is VERY different from Xoom...
Sent from my MZ605 using XDA App
As far as I know you must unlock your device which wipes your data. Why not just copy it to your computer if you have one, unclock and copy back?
That's because Gameloft games, when I connect my Xoom to my computer I can't see it data pack. And so I have too much game data on my Xoom that I worked so hard to do (for example Bug Village and Inotia)...

Titanium Backup is what I use for all my backup needs. I then Sync it with my dropbox which syncs with my PC. So if I wipe the device I just copy it back from the PC. Titanium has an option built in to sync with Dropbox.

You should be able to just plug it into your PC and go to Xoom/Internal Storage/gameloft all my game data is in that folder.
What you really want to do is make a folder on your desktop then go to your Xoom open the folder (Internal Storage) click tools/folder options/view make sure "always show menus" is check. Click ok and close that box. Now go to edit in the menu select "select all" then edit again and copy. Go to the new folder and paste it. This will select all the files even if they are hidden. That should start to copy your files over to your PC.
Well I already made a backup of my Gameloft data pack, but I want to backup my Inotia data... Anyone know a way?

Hello all, now that ICS update is coming out for our little Blaze, I'm sure there will be lots of devs. I'm not sure how the Memory is setup on the ICS Rom, but the current GB on our Blaze has a very limited "Internal SD Memory" (Around 1.3gig, I believe) to install apps. Might I make a suggestion to the devs to include script manager tweaks in the upcoming ICS Roms so that default storage for apps be pointed to the "External SD" where we have more memory? Thanks!

I know what you guys are talking about. But what I meant is if I was to download a large game that is over 1.4 gigs, it wont have enough memory to save on the "Internal SD". What you mentioned only works if you already have the apps downloaded.

I used an app about a year ago called s2e . I can't be 100% sure but it moved app and data to external. I came from a G1 which had no internal memory . that phone was great but limited on space . if its not available there might be a similar app. good luck

I'd be happy with that. As it is easy to back them up via PC anyways. Plus with the move to ICS, I plan of completely starting form scratch and re-installing all apps from source, no backups short of the ones that are not available anymore.
Could DirectoryBind work?

When we get source, we can rewrite the package manager to point to sdcard instead of mmc then you won't have to worry about an app and/or doing it manually...
