Hello All,
Is the Titanium Backup app worth keeping on the Note 10 Plus?
There is no root, so I really can't use this app for creating backups.
When I had my Samsung note 9, I backed all the data to the Samsung cloud & did a restore to the Samsung Note 10 Plus.
Some of these apps were so old that I did not want to lose them because they were paid for apps when I was on rooted Samsung S4 Vibrant.
Now that I am on the Samsung Note 10 plus, there is no use of keeping some of these apps because there is not root correct?
What practical use would the Titanium backup serve if there is no root?
Titanium backup served me well because it backup apps with their configurations.
What app are you using for backups to external MICRO sd card?
Last Question, if I have the Samsung Note 10 Plus phone, this is the right place to be in the Samsung Note 10 forums?
Titanium Backup is useless without root, but you can root Note 10 & Note 10 Plus using Magisk. Do a Google search for instructions. And you will get more help with Note 10 Plus by posting in the Note 10 Plus forum. Good luck!
if you root a Samsung phone, you will break Samsung KNOX.
Forever.
( KNOX is the security mechanism in Samsung phones )
then, you will lose any warranty claim and it also affects the phone's resale value, if you want to re-sell it.
also, it will impact your Samsung Pay or any other Banking Apps, which rely on KNOX.
( you can use Magisk, to 'convince' banking apps that your phone is not rooted, but still,
there are limitations when KNOX is broken )
What are we using for Backups of APK's, docs, galleries & other directories on the internal phone?

I just bought the Nexus S, but I fear the process of importing all my apps and settings from the N1 to the NS. I have about 80 apps, approx 20 paid apps and 20gb used on the external 32Gb memorycard. Of course, I will need to trim down the data amount to lower than 16Gb that is available on the NS. All of the apps that can, are installed on the SD card.
I have both a regular gmail account and a paid Google Apps account that are synked with my N1
So, must I set aside a whole working day manually re-installing all apps and reenter licence codes & settings & synk settings, or can I simple log in to the new phone and experience - like magic - that everything is transferred wirelessly? (I would consider believing in Santaclaus if that happened)
i moved from hero to nexus s and had the same problem, i used titanium backup to restore most of my apps+data, it will automatically link the apps to the market and install them on the next best place (for example it was on ext on my hero but got moved to internal on my nexus s)
but rom-/systemapp-settings had to be reentered manually because the rom got corrupted when i tried to restore my settings (for example google account)
hope this could help you out a bit.
I've gone through 4 phones and my paid apps have followed me. The non paid apps don't though. I definitely recommend Titanium Backup for those as well. Especially if you have game saves or something. I don't mind re-entering information for like connecting to my server but game saves that would piss me off to lose.
The free version I think you have to restore them individually but the paid version you can do them all at once I believe. Coming from the same android version always helps this process too.
Google login on the new phone should push a lot of stuff to the phone, but you might need to make sure the setting on the Nexus One to back up your setigns on the cloud/mothership is turned on. It's not been 100% reliable for me in the past moving from one phone to another.
Agreed with the others who suggest Titanium, it's been a life-saver.
We're assuming you're rooted, because to use Titanium, you must be rooted. Also, get the paid version, it's under $5 and adds a lot of functionality, like batch restore of all your apps.
On caveat when moving from one phone to another (or even one ROM to another) is that when you restore with Titanium, you just want to restore apps + app data...you don't want to restore system settings, this could, supposedly, lead to some trouble.
i see this asked a lot, but i must be confused. i thought that anytime you sign into an android phone with your account, all free and paid apps you have automaitically download to the phone, simply by signing in. i know when i completely wipe my phone, sign in upon boot up, and all apps return like i never even wiped. i can watch them install one by one over a 15 min period.
even my wallpaper gets saved to google's server, and placed back onto the phone as my wall paper. most settings too.
the one thing you will not have saved are texts, oh and any app-specific data from the old phone.
Your app history is tied to the sign in account (free and paid).
The data/settings for the applications is the issue at hand. Some developers sync the data to cloud services, some don't. For the latter you must to the titanium backup deal to move stuff or copy the sd card contents. Some devs opt to just create a folder on the sd card.
Most google applications (obviously) sync data/settings to the cloud. They offer devs a service to do the same. As more devs use it or their own you'll be able to seemlessly switch from device to device withou a hassle.
if i didn't want to use titanium is it as simple as zipping up the content on the nexus one's sd card and then somehow importing all contents (app data, etc) on to the nexus S?
then after that reinstall any apps that i have downloaded or bought?

Yep, it's pretty much that simple.
What is your favorite advantage that you get from rooting your device? To me it's mostly getting rid of the HTC interface in favor of the AOSP flavor.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
Definitely having the ability to get rid of bloatware, but on the Bionic it gives me the ability to change the webtop into something closer to a real linux laptop.
Wireless Tether is all I can say...
and bloatware
Remove pop up ad
Be able to remove bloatware
Be able to change permission of apps, to use hacked GPS app.
Titanium backup
etc.
Losing the bloatware and running everything free of those pesky ads. I also like being able to send phone calls from numbers not in contacts straight to VM or having them blocked without the phone ever ringing.
Removing Bloatware and Titanium Backups.
remove apps / backup the DATA from an apk
Cleaning up the device form Bloatware and Apps i never use. Getting the newest Android Version which is not official supported by HTC, i own a HTC Desire.
More App Space, because HTC was a bit stingy with itnernal memory!!!
The best user expirience of my device, to keep it up to date for everyday use. Iam not into buying a new one for at least 1 - 1 1/2 year from now.
Titanium Backup
Ability to edit /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to give read/write permissions to my external SD card. ES File Explorer and Titanium Backup could not write to my external card until I edited this file.
Uninstalling stock apps, moving apps to sd card and using adblockers
I think most people benefit from having free apps mainly.
Best reason is to install Clockwork Mod Recovery so you can do a complete backup.

Backup Rom. remove adds and moving progs to sd.
Remove programs from Operator and install apps not available to my country

As long as you use the sim you had provided with the phone (e.g. if it's a at&t phone and you have an at&t sim), you don't have to sim unlock the phone. Also, I think c.m. 10.2 has no sim lock. Anyway, your apps and data (e.g. music, pictures) will all be deleted, so if you want to keep them, use a backup app like the titanium backup to keep them all, but if you do so, note that you have to install the app again after the c.m. setup, because as I said, all your apps and data will be deleted. As for the browser, of course you can install any other you want, although c.m. has already one.

Thank you so much, done the titanium backup already, I have my pictures etc on cloud so thats not a problem, can I just back up apps to the SD card? I am aware not all apps can be stored there but the majority of mine are. Sorry to ask loads I want to be 100% sure before I flash the rom lol

Don't feel sorry for asking "too much". That's what xda is for. Anyway, I think you can backup your apps in your external sd card but via a backup app (let's say the titanium backup as far as we've already mentioned it), because your phone doesn't have that option itself - as far as I know, I don't own a samsung phone. Check it out. If you can backup your stuff to the external sd card, I recommend you do it, so you'll be more sure for your precious apps' safety.
I have read all the posts on web related to the questions i am posting below. After spending over many hours on this effort, i decided it is best to ask here before i waste more time. Here is the situation:
Old phone - Galaxy S4, new phone - LG Q7+ (tmobile), Task at hand is moving apps/data to new phone.
On old phone, i am not able to see an option to force "sync" or time it when i go into Settings -> Accounts -> Backup & Reset
It does indicated that i have correctly setup the backup gmail account & have two accounts (google & whatsapp) on Accounts.
The last backup was done 12 hours ago on the samsung, but when i try to restore it on the LG - it fails. I do not see any SMS or photos on my new phone. Only apps are being restored, but not data.
Next, i tried LG Mobile Switch, which fails because of unknown reason. BTW i have SD card on the old S4, but none on the new LG
All this is being done on wifi at home because the new phone does not have a SIM card yet. I was planning to move the sim card from old to new phone, if the restore was successful into LG Q7+
Where am i going wrong ? Buying another SD card for the LG is not possible, because i want to accomplish this task within next 24 hours.
Should i be trying Helium backup / restore since the devices are from 2 different manufacturers ? Everything i read seem to indicate that this should be easy to do, but i am unsuccessful.
BTW - the galaxy S4 is running android 4.4.4
Thanks for any comments.
Here is what i found out and wanted to share it here.....
LG mobile switch app is not robust enough to handle varied situations. In my case, it got stuck because it could not move media from SD card (galaxy S4) to internal storage of LG Q7.
Even trying to use that app without the media (just contacts and sms is all i wanted) did not work in my case. Perhaps could not work between android 4.4.4 to version 8.1.0 on my new Q7+
The only app data i had were in few apps (s-memo, sms, contacts, call logs, whatsapp). I didn't have much apps and so opted to go the free route.
Installed Super Backup and backed up my data from Galaxy S4 to google drive.
Super backup is not very user friendly and could not work well with a new phone which needed to pick up data from google drive (sync issues).
After fiddling around (since i am not android expert it took some time) i found the issue of why it was not easily finding my cloud files.
Reset my LG new phone to factory conditions, and without using any of the attempts it made initially to restore backups. Install Superbackup on new phone.
Restore everything from google drive.
Seperately, i made a whatsapp backup and restored it & photos on SD card had to be moved onto internal storage of Q7 (which does not have SD card storage).
Atm hve my olso note 4 (stll working) wih a sd card and on the sd card I have my photos รจ on the main memory serveral ther photos in dfferent folders (il dipends of witch application I have used t get that pic).
So by the way I need to know how I can backup and restore all the photos and t transfer them from my note 4 to my note 20 ultra keep the chronological order.I knw for sure that if I move them forst on my computer and than on note 20 ultra i wl loose the "original order" ,I dont want to use ant virtual storages (t save/keep my privacy) so how I can d?
I was thinking maybe if I instatll on my note 4 Smart Switch and I do the backup of all photos (photos that are in the different folders of the mai memory of the note 4 + the phos that are n camera folder of my sd and then restore them (On my note 20 ultra by this moment I'm not planing to use a sd card) with wifi with smart swtch (so they will move from andrid lollipop (note 4) to andrid 11 (note 20 utra) wil that be a good way to have everything o the same chrnological orden or not?
Any other suggest/tips?
My note 4 is nearly dying (eMMC problem) so first I do this josb first I will save everything Let me know what do u think
Thanks
Helen
i would use smart switch to transfer data. i think it stands a better chance of preserving chronological order of all transfered data
