Hi there. I have a one month old HTC One X with AT&T, and I just noticed a line of dead pixels on my screen. I'm planning to return it and ask for an exchange. I was wondering if anyone could point me to backup apps that don't require root. From what I've read, app data backup without root is not possible, but can I backup stuff like my messages, my homescreen layouts, which apps I have installed, etc, without root? And is there any way to restore all these in one go?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi
I am migrating from a Desire to a Desire S and I'd like some advice.
Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to transfer bookmarks from one Android phone to another? I'd rather not install an app if possible so I'm hoping that I can browse to a file storage area.
Also is there an easy way to transfer the list of remembered wifi spots between Android phones? I'm not expecting that the passwords would be transferred just the list.
Lastly, is there a way to transfer my Locale settings?
Thanks in advance
Update 24th April: I've transferred my bookmarks and backed up my sms (at least the ones I wanted to keep) - simple enough but notes, recognised wifi spots, etc are still "trapped" on my original Desire.
Also i'm not interested in rooting my phone - so please don't suggest anything that requires a rooted phone. Cheers
No advice is I guess sometimes the best advice one person can give to another being

Backup your settings with Google and import it on your desire s. You will see what u get back otherwise search in the data partition
what about Transfer data app?

Titanium backup can do the job?

Desire S haven't been rooted yet so it's not possible.

Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by "back up your settings with Google..." I looked through my original Desire and despite that could not find the "backup" feature that is so frequently referenced.
If you can advise on how to access the data partition, I'd appreciate it.

Hey Guys, i'm new to Android so i'm not sure what the best backup\restore program to use is. I want to root my phone, but I'd like to know what the best way to restore everything on this phone would be. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!
As if right now the bootloader is still locked so you can't really do backups/restores. They did use the bionic bootstrap which allowed them to do backups but it's a big risk. Your best bet is to just wait. If you do root you can always unroot.

Thats not true. You cant backup the complete rom but you can backup all your data/apps, mybackup is my app of choice for that task.
But if you're just trying to root the phone, it doesnt wipe data so no backup would be needed. Just a FYI. But it is always a good idea to have current backups just in case.

Titanium Backup is a famous good one.

Between titanium backup and mybackup root you should be able to get all the major stuff backed up.

I have always used Titanium Backup to get all of my apps and personal data. It really helps to save time when you decide to constantly rom jump around. Grab the apps and all of the green highlighted items. That is usually your settings, homescreen layouts, and other stuff I believe. Mobilism usually has a newest version of titanium backup to test try.
mybackup root is better for restoring large numbers of apps (for free) because you don't have to acknowledge each app

I had no qualms about supporting the dev of titanium backup. Best app purchase I have made.

Agreed. Plus the UI is much more user friendly too
Hi, I'm new to all this, just recently rooted my phone.
Just wanted to know if I can use the data I backed up in one particular rom and then restore it on a different one if I decided to change it.
Thanks
P.s thanks to all the developers for the great job their doing.

if you mean apps then yes of course you can
Make sure not to restore data from system apps or you could get problems and FCs.
this is my first android phone, but before i had a windows mobile phone for years. I did a rom switch on that phone. But now i want to remove some stock app on the sensation (like facebook, twitter and other stupid stuf) with stock rom, I still didnt do anything with it.
Can anyone help me please, sorry for the hussle
thanks in advance

First of all you need to root your phone even If you don't want to flash any custom rom. The reason is you want to remove some of the system applications. After rooting you can use titanium backup to remove these app. But make sure you have nandroid backup if anything goes wrong.

Good evening, good news i succesfully made my phone s-off and rooted it. (2hours) Now i got a question: i try to remove twitter and facebook. The application installer removed it from the phone because i saw the data going down, but i still have the icons in my programlist. Is there any way to remove them, without booting a hole new rom. As you can read im still a newbee here.
Btw titanium backup says im succesfully rooted. Yay, Hope someone knows a answer.
And Xda Congrats with the 50.000 achievement
Boys keep up the good work !

Congrats and welcome to XDA. I would never go back to anything other than an Android OS. It is so much more customizable than anything else out there. I would say read through the forums and see what you can do and what you can tweak. Also, if you get bored you can try flashing different ROMS and see what you like best.
I was already member of xda years before in the time of qtek 2020i. (guus they called it then xda or mda. But unfortunally i lost my account from then, so had to make a new one. Otherwise i was not a newbee . For now i still like the stock ROM of htc. (stable and all functions work. Unlike the bèta verions of ics)

Hey guys,
I am using Titanium Backup Pro to delete bloatware on my HTC One S and while the apps appear to be deleted after Titanium runs, everything that I delete just comes right back after a reboot. I saw something in a post that said this is probably some code that HTC slipped into the kernel.
Any suggestions? My Htc One S is running Android 4.1.1, and HTC Sense 4+.
Thanks!
y not try a custom ROM without the bloat?
