Just download it from the market again........ that is presuming you have actually paid for it. If not use astro or root explorer to make a backup of the .apk that's how I make backups of all my apps, saves downloading them everytime I mess up my phone or decide to change ROM.

Download astro file manager open it, press menu choose tools and then app backup........ backup the apps you want to keep and they will appear in a backup folder on your SD card, install the new ROM then reinstall all the backed up apps. Or you could use titanium backup to save your data too.

Contacts should be stored on the gmail account. If not then do that first.
To backup apps use a program called backup program and restore. Does not require root.
Also apps do backup on the Google account as well.

Backing up contacts?

I have synced Facebook pictures to my contacts using syncmypix, is there a way to back my contacts up with the photos so I can flash a new rom and then restore them?

I did this on ICS stock 4.0.3 :
Open your contact list
Press menu
Choose Export to storage
A file "example.vcf" will be on the root of your SD card
E mail it to yourself

Question about switching from sense 4.0 to aosp rom.

If I backup my text messages from the app will I be able to restore them when I switch to an aosp rom?

Yeah just restore them in the same way you have done before

Backups made with the stock HTC messaging app probably won't be readable by the AOSP one or other third party messaging apps.
You might want to try a universal backup tool like SMS Backup & Restore from Play store.

Will titanium backup work?

When I switched to aosp I had to use sms backup+ or my messaging app force closes.

messages apk or a way to restore back up in titanium to hangouts

hey guys need some help.
Trying a different ROM, one which did not come with messages, but Hangouts. I have titanium backup of messages.apk. Can I restore them to hangouts?
Or can someone post messages.apk ans i/s on how to install it.
thanks!

Should be the same data for both, so yes restored hangout.

Are you wanting to restore your messages to the Rom with hangouts as the defaults? Or are you ranging a separate sms app? I didn't like just hangouts as defaults so I got a zip for a separate default messaging that's native. I'm not sure I understood your question.
