Titanium Backup does this. You can backup/restore apps & settings. Also, you can extract the .apk files and copy them to your sd card.

You Can Also Try AppMonster!

I'll second the Titanium Backup recommendation, makes it easy to get your apps back where they were after your flash a new ROM or wipe. It's a must have app for any Android phone IMO and is good enough to be a sole reason for rooting (I rooted my mom's OG Droid just so she could use TB)
Is there a auto install for titanium? Instead if running batch and clicking install for every app?

The paid version doesn't require you to click install for every app (it's a true batch operation).
Do i need the premium key??

make sure that your data and contacts are syncing with google, you can do that by menu>settings>accounts>autosync

Backup PingChat, WhatsApp

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way of backing up PingChat conversations as I am going to Factory Reset my phone an I don't want to lose my stack of important convos. I had asked the developers (Enflick) and they had said such feature is unavailable but may be included in future updates. Which I can't wait that long as my phone is messed up.
Where are the PingChat files saved on the device if there are any?
Is there any app thay can back it up on SD?
Thanks in advanced.

Dead screen and reading internal memory

Hello everyone.
Today I dropped my Desire and smashed the screen. The phone is working, but LCD is dead. Is there any way I can read and make contacts and sms backup on my PC from my bricked screen Desire? Is there any Windows tool to read internal memory when I put the phone in bootloader?
Thank you all in adwance for your help.
I doubt it. If there was it would of been posted by now. You could something like qtafb but o doubt that's what your looking for.

Is it rooted?
You could create a Nandroid and then somehow extract the data from the nandroid files.(?) Depending on what recovery u use you should be able to do this without screen.

You could use a app called
Adb filemanager

It's not rooted, everything is stock. I have searched through this forum and didn't find any solution for my problem. It seems like the only way is to send my phone on service for a screen replacement.
Well, thank you guys for your help. It's not so bad afterall, now I have a one more reason to upgrade to a newer phone, DHD or maybe wait a while till Sensation comes out.

[Q] Restoring Apps from TB to different ROM

I may be having a blonde moment here but I am I right in thinking that is I restore my apps and the app data from TB in a different ROM that will be ok? If that makes sense?
Of course it's ok, that's the whole purpose of TB...
Thanks, I think did just have a senior moment. I think I mistook the app data and system data were connected in a way. But never mind all sorted now.
Thanks again

Datasd2 help!! Phone semi bricked!

Hello forum, I just joined today mainly for the issue I'm going through right now. I have a Motorola Triumph from Virgin Mobile that runs Froyo 2.2. Lately, I've been getting low storage space notifications and it was driving me nuts. So I went on Playstore and downloaded Data2sd and to be honest, I really didn't know what I was doing. I launched the app, granted the superuser permission, and I created a 300mb partition onto my sd card. Then I selected data on the menu option and started selecting all the movable directories to move into my sd card. Everything seemed fine since I was keep getting the "moving succeeded" message, only until I rebooted my phone. That's where my problem is. I noticed my wallpaper was gone and the android launcher was keep crashing, not letting me do ANYTHING at all. I'm so frustrated and I really dont know what went wrong. Please help! I don't wanna reset my phone because I dont want to lose all of my important contacts! I apologize in advance if this has a simple solution, I'm still kinda a noob at modding android phones. Thanks.

If the contacts are the only problem, i believe you can backup them via ADB. Also, try uninstalling Data2sd. If you want a guide ask me

Do you remember if you had Debugging enabled?
By the way, did you try pulling put your SD card before booting, to see if it fixes?

And finally, what ROM do you have?

Nevermind, i got it fixed! all i did was somehow manage to open my browser and download home++ beta launcher. Through that, i was able to back up my contacts and whatever I needed, and did a factory reset. That fixed the problem! now I've found a better app than data2sd and that is links2sd. That works like a charm thanks for taking your time to help
