Use Titanium Backup
i USe Go Backup Pro. U can Go a Backup direct to ur Dropbox... Very nice.
Personally I use MyBackup Root. It's free and if you're rooted (you are if you're flashing ROMs) it works perfect to backup / restore apps and app data.
i use titanium backup too..
but, wht abt nandroid backup?

Nandroid you just do thru recovery, either TWRP or CWM etc

One thing to keep in mind., backing up the apps will not work when going from 4.1.2 to say 4.3 or 4.3 to 4.4. It will be messy. You would be better off installing from play store or Gapps for that version. Should work fine if the rom is the same base version though. Good luck.

I have not found this to be true.
I restored apps from my Nexus 4 (with data) from 4.3 to my Nexus 5 on 4.4 and everything came out fine.
Using Titanium Backup or MyBackup it basically installs the market APK same as if you installed it from the market.
Gapps yeah you need the right version.
I'm on 4.4 rom and going to a 4.4 rom I just have alot of apps I like and such. I would like them to stay I stalled.

I use Titanium Backup. And i think it's the best way to backupyou device.
I even use backups that i generated with my HTC Desire on my new SGS 3 over the boundaries of a new ROM.

I am agree with majority answers…
Titanium backup pro is best app for backup (with data)
Twrp is better than cwmr in terms of functionality and nandroid backup size
If you like to backup only application (no data) you should go with myapp sharer application.

I used online nandroid backup and the nandroid manager, it is super easy to use.

I did a titanium backup before flashing Cleanrom 4.5 to include rpm and radio. I was very happy with cleanrom 2.1 and need to revert back due to poor battery life, very poor. Can someone help with the steps to revert including tibu help? I tried a search, but the search function is temporarily unavailable. I only see restore apps and data in tibu and not sure if that will revert me completely. I also think I need to flash the old rpm and radio, but am not sure. I waited 2 days for the system to stabilize, but no love. I also loaded crap mods and acidmusic mods, but don't think that is the battery drain problem. I am on vacation and need to fix this as I need my phone battery to last. Any help would be appreciated.

Titanium backup is only for apps and data to revert to 2.1 you will need to flash it in recovery and then flash the modern separately.

Found it on my sd card. As soon as the phone charges I will give it a go. Thanks for the quick responses.
Also don't forget, you will need to do a "Wipe/Factory Reset" before you flash CR2.1

Thanks. I wiped everything. Reverted back and battery life instantly improved. Will wait for a clean rom kernel before I upgrade again.
Sorry, new guy here. I was getting tired of waiting for Jelly Bean to arrive on my GS3, so I decided to install a leaked build. I want to update my build to the most recent one (preferably the official one), is there a way to do that without losing my applications and application data?

I'm using BLK1, so how would I update it? I've tried checking Software Update on the "About Phone" and nothing comes up.

You won't get the ota because Verizon doesn't recognize the version you are on. the best way to where you are is to flash it I Odin. Follow section five here

Thanks! Also, how would I save my applications? It says that it is a full wipe. I have Titanium Backup Pro but not sure on how to restore backups. Does Titanium Backup save app data as well?

Yes it does. By full wipe it formats internal sd card so make sure to backup anything you want to keep

It's a "no-wipe" version, but the preferred method is to full wipe when changing to a new rom it seems. Less possible problems show up.

hi
i don't know about nandroid back up (maybe i do but i don't know i do) but i myself made a back up of my stock rom in CWM becase sometimes i need some of it's features(currently using CM11 very much) so when ever i restore it everything(and i mean everything) restores back to the way it was.everything.... all settings, all apps, their data, cotacts,even phone logs and etc.
but i don't think cm11 works for i9105.
some friends tried it and their phone won't boot i suggest you to search more or ask devs in it's thread if it's fixed or not.
good luck.

At most 3GB
I have many things on my internal sd card and the backup is huge.
The system is also big by itself
Actually cwm is nothing dangerous. Why don't you just try before u ask

about 1.4 gig system partition.then you need to add size of installed apps. and suggest you wipe cache partition cuz it's not really nessesary to back up.
so it depends how much u used data partition its more than 1.8Gig probably.
---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------
i found this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cls.partition&hl=en
maybe you can estimate how much u need for back up.
my advice is to wait..nothing is stable so far.
be patient and wait for more stable custom roms
I flashed with CM last January by following this tutorial 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/rom-cyanogenmod-10-2-official-nightly-t2382579'
If i restore my phone it'll go to cyanogenmod or to my old stock ROM? All of my apps will go? And my battery is getting drained a lot and I guess its due to candy crush?? Sorry for being noob!

Did you take a backup of the stock ROM ? Then you probably can restore it to stock. Otherwise you will have flash via Odin or something. And yes if you flash stock rom you will lose all your app data but you can save apps then reinstall after reverting back to stock
Take a look at this too

hello,
Wanted to try out new ROMs. I used Xprivacy. If i nandroid backup my phone, try out new ROMs but decide to restore my backup, will I have to re-do my Xprivacy permissions?
Thank you!
EDIT: If it matters, I'm running 4.4.1 on Nexus 5 (Cataclysm)

You can buy the donate version of XPrivacy that has a backup feature included. The point is that restoring app data from nandroids to other rom will probably not work. If you restore your full backup your setting will be restored of course.
Could you please share the result?
Edit: confirmed
