Im fixing to start rooting my completey stock EVO 2.2.. but first, is there a free app thats best for backing up my phone how it currently sits? Thanks.
The only thing I've heard people use is MyBackup. You can give the trial version a shot.
Once you're rooted, you should probably get the donate version of Titanium Backup. It makes it incredibly easy to backup and restore stuff.

MyBackup is good when you don't have root. After, TB is the best app. In addition after root, you can do a nandroid backup which is like a Windows Restore Point in that it allows you to restore to a previous state in case you totally mess something up. It is recommended before flashing a new ROM or kernel.

hello,
despite asking a million questions about the process, i still haven't rooted, so my phone is as stock as stock gets. anyways so my girlfriend plays frozen bubble on my phone and she is at lvl 70 and she really wants to continue that even after the phone updates to froyo. so is there any way i can back the state of this particular app with all its settings and whatnot and restore it..
i dont want to save all my apps because i would much rather start customizing a clean phone, i just want to save this one app.
how do i do it?
thanks.

i just rooted and then turned S-OFF
now im about to remove some apps, then i will install titanium backup, backup this one app, and then restore the stock recovery.
Let it backup everything as it is.
You don't have to restore everything. You can use it to restore just one app if you want.
That way, if you remove the wrong thing you can restore it.
What is considered to be the best full backup tool available so I can upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 without losing any data whatsoever?
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? If so, Titanium Backup is an excellent choice.

No, it's not rooted. What is the best choice in that case?
Thanks
MyBackup.

Titanium Backup hands down, no competition.
next best is Nandroid backup in CW Recovery
i use mybackup root and would all the time use it, i used titanium before and had often issues with it, anyway anyone has different taste .
Thanks for the information. I'm going to try MyBackup and keep my fingers crossed.
Does titanium back up the rom, or just the apps?

Hi,
I am planning to root my SGS. But before doing so, I like back it up. So what tool should I use for this purpose?
First you root it, only then can you backup 'everything'. Checkout Titanium Backup at market.
You wont lose anything just by rooting.

I rooted my phone with revolutionary and switched to cm7. I origanally used my backup root tosave my apps and it always worked. Now I have the app file but it wont open my back up. I tried to back up my apps in the stockromandit says I dont have root. Ive tried every app I could find in the market. There are a few I have that arent in the market anymore. Any ideas on how to save them?
titanium backup?
Did you back up with clockwork mod?

How did you backup your ROM? If you used recovery then you're up a creek without a paddle.
Titanium backup and start over. Best advice
Sent from the future of a long time ago.
I did back up in recovery. I ended up using my backup. Titanium wouldn't work. Then reopened the file with my back up root. Thanks for all the help guys. Just a newb learning the ropes.

The only app I back up is angry birds n that's just data backup. What apps do u really need to back up vs just reinstalling? I don't really see the point in backing up anything other than a game save

Your stock rom probably isn't rooted.
Restore the nandroid backup, then flash Superuser through recovery. You can find the file here: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
You may need to install Busybox for Titanium Backup to work, but I think the developer removed the need for it. You can use a Busybox Installer from the market to install it if you need it.
Don't restore system apps or data when you restore on CM7.

I am currently on Calkulin's rom and wanted to give blazer rom a try. The only thing holding me back is that i have a ton of programs and settings that I really don't feel like restoring and redoing. Is there a way to switch roms and then restore backed up programs or something? I tried doing a search, but I couldn't find an answer. I am imagining there may be considering how many people try different roms so freely.
Thanks
Ymmv, but what I do is a nand bu in recovery,.then.install new rom, once installed and booted,.return.to.recovery, then restore, advance restore, restore only data. Its pretty safe doing this on like OS's like gb to.gb, or ics to ics, not ics to cm9, or gb to aokp.

Just use the batch function in Titanium Backup. The pro key was probably the best $7 I've spent on the market, it automates the restore.
I like to use My Backup. It has a free thirty day trial version and a pro version for like five bucks. I couldn't survive without it!
I use Titanium Backup, you can backup all of your apps and settings, but you'll have to manually install the apps unless you have the pro version.
Titanium Backup will almost always work

I would definitely go this persons route it is the one I always use and it works allot better than titanium backup in my opinion. When I use titanium backup 50% of the time half my apps get corrupted.
Thanks for the tips. Seems I have 2 options. I may try the free route then try tb I needed.

Works great titanium backup is garbage.
With all the ROM switching I do. Is it possible to backup all your settings and apps, flash your ROM, and then restore your apps? Something other than Titanium.
Why not Titanium?

I guess to be honest, even though it isnt much, i'm looking for something free that will restore all my apps at once and not one by one manually. Don't get me wrong Titanium works great. Tried GO backup but it won't do a batch save over 200 mb.

It is worth buying it..
It is soo damn easy to back up and restore.
Check out my backup root here

The free version is fully functional. I bought the pro version as it will allow backing up from one phone and restoring on a different phone. I use this almost as much as I use root explorer lol.
