simple question .......currently using jellytime rome realease 21 and know i want to change the rom bt i dont want to download all the application once again ........what to do
I'd suggest that you purchase titanium backup.pro from market, it well still save you hours if you continue to flash.
With it you can re-install all of your applications, although not a good idea to do the system ones, automatically for you, once you back them up using the product

Just wanted to add that you could do that with the free version as well, with the batch mode. I dunnot how it works in the paid version, but i've been backing up my apps with the same. The only con of which is while restoring the apps, its not completely automated. You have to keep pressing install on every dialogue that pops up. But hey its free and it works and its simpler, so..

That is true, but it is always better to support a dev that is adding great value to your device which indeed is the case with Titanium Backup. If one can afford it if course.

That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.
Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?

You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/
Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled
the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.
Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.

That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........
You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.

I am interested to know what apps are good that aren't on the marketplace. I would like to find some other cool stuff I can put on this phone. I put swype on and that was fun to side load. Would like to do some other stuff. Inform me please.

You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

I got my replacement phone from amazon due to the cracked screen. What is the best/easiest way to make a backup of settings and apps and load it onto a replacement phone? Both old and new are rooted. And then along the same lines, what is the best way to wipe personal info from the phone I am sending back?
Use titanium backup and rom manager

Make sure you pay for the full version of Titanium Backup, it makes life so much easier from the free version.
So buy titanium premium and backup to the SD card? I have the free version but it doesn't seem to back up in a way I can restore on the new phone easily at all.
Don't forget to backup your contacts to sim card or use google backup.

Holy crap! I've been using the free version for the longest because I didn't think Pro would add anything worthwhile. I just took a gander and saw "0-click batch restore"! , that alone is worth what the pro version costs.

When you restore, never restore system data, it'll likely cause random issues/bugs. You either want to restore "missing apps + data" (though, I've had issues that I believe could be tied with this option) or only "missing apps".
Lol yea the 0 click batch restore is pretty fkn amazing.
Like that infomercial guy said you batch then "set it and forget it"

Might be more of a google market question, but thought I would start here.
I have 1 MT4GS with 90 or so apps, getting a second MT4GS. Most apps are market, but some from other spots. Is there a way to massively update/download the apps I have on current phone to new phone. In the past, I have just downloaded them one at a time from market.
Thanks in advance...
Possibly
Just an idea, you could make a backup of your current mt4gs and then restore it on the new one? Ive never tried it but I dont see why it wouldnt work
Your google account should keep record of your downloaded apps and redownload on the next device you sign in on... Usually...

I know with previous phones this didn't work. I would connect to my same account with the new phone, but it wouldn't show that I had apps loaded. Example, the eBay app would not show installed, I would have to load like it was a new app install. It would be great if that would do that, or it would show 90 updates to be applied. But I haven't done this in a while, maybe newand improved market will allow. I guess I will find out when I get receive the 2nd phone.
Thanks..
Well if your rooted and your next phone is rooted then you can use titanium backup to backup all your apps. If you CWM installed on both then you can make a nandroid backup and either restore it on the new one or use appextractor to restore the apps. But if your not then your best bet is let Google restore the apps that it does and manually resinstall the ones that it doesn't.
all of your payed for apps will certainly appear in the market under my apps and you can just go thru clicking on them one after another after another. the ones that were free though, i dont know any quick/easy way. i'm sure theres an app that will track all your downloaded apps regardless of if they were free or not.
The market website actually keeps a log of every app you downloaded. You can then send them right to your phone from there.

This is what I'm seeing, it show my paid for apps, but not the freebees. FYI - first phone is not rooted, second one is..
I also logged into google and google market on the pc hoping to see 'my apps', but no luck there..
So looks like a download at a time..
Thanks all for your inputs...
That is odd. I still have stuff on the Web Based Market list that I haven't used since my old craptastic Behold II 2 years ago.

I've done this before with my old MT4G. I would just flash a backup of my previous phone onto my warranty replacements... So I can say it does work....
roms make a difference
I have been trying out different roms and they act different with Market.
These 2 work like I mentioend before, only show bought apps:
Bulletproof
Doubleshot Lite 1.2.4
But this one does an auto download of all my past downloaded apps, very cool.
RootzWiki and install Undeadk9's ICS-splashed ROM: RubiX_ICS_v5.3_release-keys_signed
I love TiBu, but I'm a cheap guy. I like the fact that you can sync with Dropbox. So instead of buying the full version, I downloaded DropSpace (Free) and set it to automatically backup the folder of my choice (in this case the TitaniumBackup folder) at the same schedule as my TiBu. Problem solved!
P.S. I also use AppExtractor to restore the last state of any apps I had installed in NANDROID backups. My Titanium is set to back up new apps and newer versions, so it skips over new data in old programs. Doing things this way ensures that I have the most recent data without having to run Titanium AND create a NANDROID backup. Saves me time!
Anyone else have any other alternatives to Awesome but paid apps?
If this post gives you ideas, I wont mind a bit of thanks

Wait till you have to restore a lot of apps. This method won't save you a single second! It's well worth paying for Titanium Backup for many other reasons but being able to just click restore once and leave it to it is soooooo much better!
MIUI=Problem solved. If you can root, you can flash a Rom, and MIUI has batch backup and restore built-in, including contacts which I don't believe TiBu does. I think Cyanogen might also have this capability, though I didn't check when I test flashed CM9.
That said, if you don't want to flash a Rom capable of this then it's definitely worth the money for TiBu Pro because restoring one at a time is a PITA, and Google Apps Backup will not run again if it fails to complete the first time after an SBF.

Zing.
For what it's worth, TiBu Pro's auto restore is REALLY nice, but the price is also pretty steep IMO.

Not understanding what you're saying here...
If a guy comes to me and offers me what TiBu offers and he says give me $6 and I'll hook you up, I'll pay the man if I'm not capable of doing it myself for free. But in this case, I don't mind a little extra work to save me the cash. Besides, the more simplified a process is, the less you know about it. And when I repair and re-install other peoples phones, I cant convince them all to buy a $6.58 app to use possibly only once.

I did purchase the key for AppExtractor. It was a cheaper $1.99. A 3rd of the price. I'd been looking for this functionality for so long that I just impulse bought it. It allows you to restore what you want from your NANDROID backups. You can select all and have it just run. That should take the same amount of time as Titanium, right?

I can agree with you about doing something yourself for free and it is impossible to get someone to spend seven bucks on something they may use once. I have the pro version and it is one of my greatest tools when it comes to customizing roms to my liking;not just restoring apps but modifying framework apks.
Forgive the total derail, but batch restore is totally worth the price of tibu

It would probably be about the same time to restore, but to backup is a pain. You have to turn your phone off to create the backup, whereas with Titanium you can leave it running in the background.
It's good to have more choices though.
Hello friends,
Just a quick question about updating roms.
Is there an easy way to save all my apps and homescreen configs where and what size widgets, icons and what ever else I have changed. Including all the settings I may have changed.
I only ask cause I see many roms have nightly builds available, but I think trying to use these and setting everything up again would drive me crazy. But all info I read says I need wipe data and caches and reflash Gapps everytime I change roms or update.
If there is no easy way to save all my preferances, do any frequent rom flashers have any advice?
Also as a sort of side note the versions of AOKP i got from this site is labeled OTA (no idea what that stands for) but the ones on aokp.co are labeled nightly and milestone. Anyone know the differneces? Should I be running OTA over the nightlies or Milestones?
Thank you,
GK

Seems wrong to steal from a developer that asks for a little bit of money for his most likely long hours of work that in turn makes my life much easier.
Also it was 5 dollars if you can afford a phone I am pretty sure you can afford an app that is going to help you back up, sync and restore your apps and data.
Also is this not a forum for developers?
