I plan on rooting my t-bolt soon and flashing one of the deflated ROMs soon. What's the best method for backing up apps and settings, and should it be done prior to rooting of after rooting but prior to flashing?
Any tips/feedback are appreciated.

*SMS backup and restore
I dont know anything worthwhile to backup your apps, its better to have root and titanium backup.

Right, and I'm familiar with Titanium Backup, but it requires root, and the current root method wipes the phone as I understand.

I generally use SMS Backup and Restore on my phones, but this was giving me a problem on the TB. I restored about 5000 SMS messages from my OG Droid, but when on the TB it will crash it. This seems to be a problem with the messaging store, as both the stock messaging app and Handcent will crash (force close).
Anyone else having this problem?
I use Mybackup Pro to backup SMS, MMS, call logs, settings, apps, etc. It has a schedule feature so it backs up everything every night to my SD card.
I've used it to restore my sms, mms, and call logs...but havent used it to restore apps or their data. (for instance, i've never restored my angry birds scores and I dont know if its possible without root)
So take a look at that app and hopefully that might help you out.
Oh, and to better answer your question, I use Titanium backup to backup all of my apps and data. Unfortunately, you will have to be rooted for it to work.

+1 for MyBackup Pro. You need root to restore app data and market links. First thing I did after I rooted was restore my Angry Birds backup from my Fascinate. lol

So, does Mybackup Pro do the same thing as Titanium Backup? Or do you use Titanium Backup as well?
I'm thinking of rooting soon, so I figured if its the same thing as Titanium Backup, i wont have to pay for a new app.
basically. It allows you to back up and restore apps, app data and market links. You can also back up call logs, sms, mms, calendar, contacts, alarms and some other miscellaneous things along with scheduled backups. I just find the interface to be much more user friendly than when I was playing around with Titanium Backup.

They basically do the same thing. Titanium backup does take a little getting used to, as the interface isn't very intuitive. Once you get used to it, you should have no problems.
Either one is good.
I looked up MyBackup on the Market and I see it'll back up apps but root is needed for app-data backups. Am I SOL for backing that up before rooting? I wonder if a non-wiping root method is forthcoming...

With smsbackup and restore i made a backup of my 12000 messages, but, when the app, after a clean install of jb rom, restore all the messages the sms app seems not to support them and ceash, any suggest?
I use SMS Backup and Restore a lot and it has worked fine always for me. But I've hardly 100 sms to move backup/restore.
- Go back to your nandroid and try different backup/restore app.
- Try checking a different SMS app to see if that crashes as well.
- Try looking at logcat and see if there is something you can do to avoid crash.
- Maybe 12000 is too many. Contact developer with logcat to check if he can help.
as your profile says you're using a paranoid rom.
in cm10 sms app there is a limitation of 500 sms per contact/thread. but you can deactivate this in settings.
i also have many messages which i always backup/restore on rom change and i tried different apps for this. main reason for sms app forceclosing was mostly the 500 sms limit so try to uncheck that box in settings of the sms app and restore them afterwards.
but i also think 12000 sms are little to many, i recommend you to sync them to your pc, save them and delete old messages on your device. you'll find many programms on google and your sms app will open and load faster a lot on your phone

What is the current status of the app backup feature of marshmallow?
in some articles published in october I read that theoretically verey app data (the app has to support the api23 and the backup feature) would be synced into the cloud to make it easier to restore on a new or wiped phone.
But neither did I find anything in the settings that data would be backed up or in the appmanager. Only under settings-accounts-Google I saw the entry App data. So Google is the only one to sync app data??
I hoped that this new feature would replace Titanium backup anytime at least for backing up app data.

I have been used Titanium backup for a while. The developer is not updating the app anymore and it doesn't work well on Android 10. What app do you use to backup apk and the data now? Thanks.
you can use
oneplus switch
but it can only back up oneplus 8 phones ...
it backups apps, calls, sms, laucher settings, and system settings

Actually, you can also back up data on your oneplus phone to your computer by using oneplus data manager software. Usually, data including contacts, text messages, call logs, photos, videos, music, ebooks, etc can be easily transferred to computer for backup. Maybe you can have a try. Hope this will be your help.
I also use OnePlus Switch for some of my backup needs...
And if you just want to backup the apk, SAI has a "backup" options that extracts the apks. Very convenient
