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...

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.
Dear all,
Like you, I've been flashing roms a lot. Some roms, however, require or need full wipe. With Titanium backup, I could easily restore app+data. It is even easier now when Titanium Backup can restore from Nandroid (tar format).
By searchin and reading around, I now know that backing up [SMS/MMS/APN] item means I could restore "SMS logs". What about "call logs" and other system settings, such as home screen layout.
I saw a [Contacts/Calls] Contact Storage item, I wonder if it is the one for call logs? I once backed up contacts (with another app) and then re-synced with Google, ending up with doubled contact list.
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.
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

Check that article out. Some of those work pretty good too. Happy modding!
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
