Is it possible to create a simple flashable zip of all my apps and app data so when I install a new ROM all I have to do is flash the zip to have all my apps and data back?

I don't know if it works with Lollipop, but that feature has been in TiBu forever. With the Pro version, it does it all at once, with the free version you have to tap OK to restore each app. If you want to see how it's done, I did a screencast in the MOAR FAQ.

Thanks brotha, found it for anyone else that this would be useful for!
Be sure to thank RAMER!
EDIT: Confused a bit at the end... after clean install, we wait for the initial boot/set-up and then flash the update zip?

I usually do it rom and the update.zip at the same time so that Google doesn't start downloading my apps.

Greetings!
**Standard Disclaimer applies here: If you screw up your device trying to follow the steps in this thread, it's not my fault. The second you unlocked your bootloader, you took full responsibility for what happens to your device.**
First, I want to thank SCDevs and xdaid for putting this app out and for continuing development and support. The original thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561729
The app can also be downloaded for free in the Play Store here: http://goo.gl/Zmzmh
May I suggest that you support development of this app by buying the Donate version here: http://goo.gl/SVtyl
What does this app do? This app will make a flashable update.zip of all your apps and their data, /including system apps if you so choose, for you to flash after you complete a full wipe and flash a new rom.
While it is understood that Titanium backup can restore all your apps and data and take a relatively short amount of time to do its job, this app makes it a bit more convenient by allowing you to just flash a zip and be done with it.
Enjoy the app.
I found a bug with the restoration of 2 apps.
Chrome browser
Quickpic
Both apps had to be uninstalled and.reinstalled for them to function. Just a heads up.

Can I do a backup from stock message app and restore to a sense 4.0 text message app?

The stock sense mms.apk? Idk I haven't tried that. Haven't used a pure stock sensation Rom since last July. I'm guessing no since stock is gb and sense 4.0 is ics. You can try it tho. If you want to save your messages just use.sms backup and restore in the Play Store. It's a free app and has always worked for me.
On a side note, I know the stock ics mms.apk DOES work on sense 4.0. I'm using it on OrDroid right now.
Hope that helped. Lmk if I didn't answer your question.
************************************************-
Wait a second... I get it. You can do the backup and restore from one messaging app to another, you just have to use sms backup and restore or a similar app.

Weird. Ok so the way around that is to grab the update-binary from a rom that doesn't use aroma installer (I used aokp when I tested this) and overwrite the one found in data/data/scdev-app2zip/files then make your backup zip. I know that will work.

So I just flashed a rom and I had done a TiBU user and system data backup. BUT, i didnt do it properly so now i cant flash it in recovery. I had a lot of stuff and a lot of paid and customizable apps in there. Im still very new to all of this. I know there has to be a way to retrieve, zip, flash, im happy. I have copies of the BU on my extSD and computer if that matters. Thanks in advanced for any help.
My only answer would be to re-install everything from play store then do it the proper way.?.?.?.?

If you put the backup file on external sd you have to point Tibu at it in preferences or move to internal sd.
You can make a flashable zip of your TiBu backups???
Anyone have a link to a flashable zip that removes bloatware, that will work in 4.3 AOSP ROM's?
I can't seem to get my old one to work anymore. Maybe because it was for 4.1?

JUst use Titanium backup and freeze any apps you don;t want to use. Really not worth the effort. Unused app really don;t bother anything.

Ehh, freezing or uninstalling apps via Titanium takes a LOT longer than just flashing a removal zip. Especially when you're uninstalling about 20-30 apks like I do.
I flash a lot, and not just my phone but my friends as well.
So this method saves me a lot of time:
1) Flash ROM
2) Flash Gapps
3) Flash Bloatkiller
4) Reboot
5) Flash Titanium Backup batch zip of all apps/data
Anyways, I don't need a bloat zip anymore. I couldn't get my old script to work, so I just added all my delete lines to an existing Gapps zip. Which removes step #3 above.
So it flashes my Gapps and removes bloat, all in one zip. Should have just done it this way to begin with! :good:
And OMG I save sooooo much time & frustration by doing things this way.
Now if I can just figure out how to get the TB batch zip to flash immediately after flashing the ROM, then I can use TWRP queue flash to flash all three zips back-to-back with just one swipe.
i want to make a custom gapps.zip with purchased apps. its only for my own phone (same google-acount). i dont want to reinstall all apps, it needs to many time.
how can i extract/porting purchased apps from my phone for a custom gapp-zip?
i only know, i can use an original gapp-zip but cant rezip it, have to open it with winrar and drag`n`drop it... right?
i want to do this because i want to be the maintainer of the HTC One X (endearovu) and dont have a second one... not enough money... but next month i buy a second
its NOT for ilegal use!!!
You can make a new one for your system and user apps. If you know anything about using adb you can manually make flashable zips of your apps and read how to use adb from here.
http://varunbpatil.github.io/2013/03/02/apps-zip/
If you want to use an app to automatically do it you can try ZipMe app from the Google Play Store. I don't know how good it is. I use titanium backup most times. Test it on one app first. ZipMe has worked on my phone.
Make a zip of apps or data or apps + data and then copy it to sd card or to a usb storage then you can flash it using a custom recovery or some other way. Titanium Backup Pro can do it but it's the paid version that has the extra things like making zips.
You can make a nandroid backup then use the nandroid manager app to extract apps and data from the nandroid backup.
I would wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing any zips before restarting or while in recovery before starting

Go to Menu, Batch Actions.
Make a backup of any apps and data you want.
Go to Menu, Batch Actions.
In Recovery spot create an update.zip
Select the apps you want and name the zip.
Don't select exclude system APKs
Check sign with Zip file (with zipsigner)
It goes into sdcard folder then you can flash the file when you want to.

It is courier or haze font.
I can't get it to let me install the courier, and app force closes if i try to install that one. I can't install that font again to see which of the two it is. It is one of those from the app Font Installer root.

The font looks a little different on one deathnote than the tablet ? I use CloudyG3 rom , dorimamx kernel and twrp recovery. I like to switch between different roms and try different ones so i have ways to backup and restore everything to new one.

thats a great thing to switch but i am more PAC rom specific link
jyes if you see the fine deathnote font on a 10" screen with 1280x800 where the fine lines betwen the pixels goes lost and see the font (theoretical... dont works ) on a 720p screen with 4,7" that can show the fine lines...
however it feels stupid to use an tablet with a lower resolution than my phone...
Hey guys, i've made a MIUI Debloat Script for ALL MIUI based ROMs (even Chinese as i included crap apps such as Baidu to debloat exclusive from that ROM). The idea is to keep a simple and clean system. You also can install a Full Hosts File so you can block ads without installing a third party app.
Tested on mi-Globe
To install download the MIUI-Debloat.zip or MIUI-Debloat-Safe.zip or MIUI-Debloat-Full.zip and Hosts.zip
Download:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=296356
Instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL?
Flash the Debloat zip AFTER the first boot and initial setup!!
1 - Download and save the choosen zip file to the folder that you use to flash zips.
2 - Reboot to TWRP recovery.
3 - Make a FULL nanobackup on TWRPs "BACKUP" section (data, system, vendor, boot, all you can/need).
4 - Select the zip you just downloaded and flash it.
5 - If you want, flash the hosts.zip after.
7 - Reboot.
What apps will it exclude from my system?

One of the apps that i debloat is GreenGuard.
I have no idea of what it do, nor i noted anything missing or something broke on the phone.

Hey M8, you need to download notepad++ on Windows and 7-zip.
Save the zip file on Windows and open with 7-zip
There navegate to
META-INF/com/google/android/
and extract the file "updater-script"
Edit it with notepad++ and add the files you wish there
drag and drop the new file on the zip folder that it was and it's ready

There's a long list of bloatware to freeze or uninstall, I'll try to find it again and share it, maybe you can add to the script.

Hey M8, how are you doing?
I use Orange Fox (the latest version) too so it isn't the problem.
The only things i can thing are:
If your Orange Fox isn't mounting the system partition or if it's mounting it as Read only. Do you know if it display a error message after you flash the script?
2nd is that most MIUI core things that it debloat wont show for you (except if you seek for them with an app such as link2SD) and the things that show on the launcher, such as the Google assistant/Search app, will still be there if you at a point updated it via playstore.
Why? Well once we update a system app via playstore, it wont re-write the app on the system partition, it will create a new one on the DATA partition.
Try to uninstall it via the Playstore and check if after, the green button appear to Install it, or to Update it.
If it show Install, the script did work as the system app was removed and now you removed the data trace.
If it show Update, then it still is there and i have no idea why.
Guys, i've made a new script called MIUI-Debloat-safe.zip
It is the same, how ever it don't remove some core apps.
Why? Here is where i may need your help, with a older version of the script (one that was exact the same as the "safe" version i actually had better Deep Sleep. Maybe there is such a thing of remove too much, as google gapps check for one and another.
What it wont remove?
/system/app/greenguard
/system/priv-app/GoogleBackupTransport
/system/priv-app/GoogleFeedback
/system/priv-app/GoogleRestore
/system/priv-app/MiRecycle
I do, how ever recomend to use an app such as AppDisable to freeze GreenGuard, as when i had epic Deep Sleep, it was frozen so you guys can test if it is indeed better or not this "older" version of the script.
Maybe i'm wrong as each battery cycle is different, but still i think i own you guys to share this.
If you want to test it, make 3 battery cycles with the normal script and check the deep sleep statistics.
Then reflash the ROM (to re install the apps it debloated) and flash the safe debloat script.
Check the statistics on 3 battery cycles that are close to the ones you did with the first and report to me.
If the "safe" version indeed is better with BB and you frozen the GreenGuard system app, i'll remove the normal version and make a new one that is exactly as the safe one, but without the GreenGuard app to test.

file explorer is needed. yes you can install another from playstore but sometimes its needed. example if i have a theme in sd card. to choose theme in my case using solid explorer it doesnt allow me to select browse file. if file explorer is present then you can select or browse for file.

Thanks, i'll check the other list out.
About the File explorer, i also use Solid Explorer and if on system things i work with Document provider, it work fine to me (then on it i open solid explorer on the swipe bar). But i'll update the safe script to keep File Explorer and Email
