Will bulk backing up my apps also include their data? For instance, if I bulk backup my apps and I happen to have a steam authenticator on my phone, will his data be saved in the backup or am I going to get just the apk's?

i want to restore my Galaxy S to the stock rom, but i want to retain all my apps that i have installed and settings etc...
so in titanium backup, should i batch backup just user installed apps, or user installed apps + user data?
Just installed apps. User data is like.. brightness, bluetooth, roaming etc system settings that won't be compatible across different types of ROMs
gotcha thanks!
app-data is the data saved by apps (saved games, saved pwds, etc)

This is probably a little late I know, but I always back up apps + data.
This will allow me to go into my apps without having to log in again and also apps like Mileage will have all my entries still in there.
So... my suggestion is to always back up both apps and data every time.
How do I backup apps with their corresponding data? I noticed when I batch backup just the apps & then reinstall them in the future, the data that I created with the apps (i.e. recordings from Voice Recorder, files from Color Note, etc.) don't get saved. It gets saved when I do a batch backup of the apps with system data. The problem is there are so many things I don't care to save from the system data. I just want the corresponding data for each app.
I'd like to install TweakStock, but I've had my Charge since July, and I've of course got a ton of apps on it - including a lot of mobile Authenticators which are of course impossible to reinstall (you've got to remove Auth from the account it's attached to and then re-attach a new install. PITA!).
So... Do I HAVE to factory reset? What's the technical reason for even recommending reset? OTA updates don't...
Changes to the framework, systemui, and other system files can cause things to really not play nice if you don't wipe. Random FC's, random lagginess, and general sluggishness can come out of not wiping.
Are the authenticators part of apps? If so, Titanium Backup should be able to back them up. You just root with superuser without losing anything, and then you can run TiBu or any other root backup app you want from there.
I'll look into TitaniumBackup then. I'm already rooted, but I'm reading that TweakStock is fairly awesome, so... Thinking of installing it.
Yeah - Authenticator apps. Google Authenticator, Paypal auth, SWTOR mobile Authenticator... etc. You can't really reinstall them; you'd have to remove authentication from the account, and then re-attach, it's a pain in the butt.
I'll look into TiBu... Thanks!
I use the Google Authenticator and backed it up via Titanium Backup. I've wiped and reloaded, restored Google Authenticator from the backups via Titanium Backup and sure enough, I open the app and the accounts it was setup are still there.
The reason is that not only does Titanium Backup backup the app itself but also any data that's associated with the app. So, you can even backup where you are in Angry Birds and restore that later. I use Angry Birds and Google Authenticator as examples of apps that Titanium Backup is great at backing up and restoring.
So that potentially means one less detach and reattach for an "authenticator" for you.

I'm in the restore phase as we speak! We'll see if all is well.
100% success. I used Odin to install TS - which DOES do a reset as part of it. Restored with TiBu. All is well. <3.
There are several Points in Titanium Backup - which of them contain the Accounts for VOIP data, which I want to recovery from my CM12.1 to my CM13 backup?
Where are the Account data for my Google Account?
I guess in both cases I just have to recover the data, not the app - right?
Did you ever figure this out? Also wondering whether Titanium Backup can save/restore the SIP (VOIP) accounts.
No, still no idea.
Hello, I've had the oneplus 8T for 2.5 years now. For a week now I have rooted it again, after 2 years ago. So I did a backup until today with the oneplus app. And I manually uploaded it to the cloud.
So I'm looking for an app that can backup apps, data, SMS, call logs, contacts, settings and the layout of folders on the phone's desktop. And of course the application can upload the backup to the cloud. To be able to have the scheduling option.
I did some research on my own and discovered the Following, but I need your help.
Swift Backup:
Backup apps, data, call logs, contacts, sms.
Stores the backup in the storage and in the cloud.
I also discovered Neobackup, Titanium Backup and Backup rom. Can you write me what are the differences between them? Because I haven't understood...
I read somewhere that Neobackup is the best but it does not backup call logs, sms, contacts. And it doesn't upload to the cloud either.
Note, the comments I read about swift, it was 2022. So I want answers with the latest versions of these apps.
Swift Backup is the best overall
kaskander​TWRP/OrangeFox backups whole device partitions (like /system or /data) with everything inside them.
By restoring this backup you can revert your whole device (android version and your data) to the state on the time of backup.
Apps like swift, titanium, neo backup, backup your apps and their settings, also you can try to backup system apps settings to restore layout of folders (lancher app settings backup).
Titanium backup was once a gold standard of android backup apps, but as it is not being developed since 2019, it can't handle split apks and doesn't work very well with the latest android versions. So it can still be used, but not recommended.
Swift backup works well with the latest android versions, you can choose to backup your apps and data locally or on google drive or something similar. If you backup your apps in the cloud you can easily access those backups from another phone and restore them.
Backup files are encrypted too and app is proprietary one.
Neo-backup, as far as i understool does everything as Swift backup, and is open sourced.
Alternative to Titanium Backup?
Hey everyone, I've been using Titanium backup for a few weeks now but one thing irks me about it.. even though it successfully backs up my apps and I assume my data - when it comes to restoring the backup, it always re-installs the apps in a...
