thanks.. i used to use mybackup pro alot. but it kept giving errors and such,, seems like thats been resolved! wooh! thanks for your suggestions
I would also suggest using AppBrain Market. It will help re-sync your apps with the market. Also make sure you do not restore any system settings after the upgrade since this will inevitably cause conflicts with the new ROM.

Can anyone recommend a decent backup app available on the market? Ive tried sprite backup and when i restored it didnt restore half of my settings or any of my apps.
Looking for something to run a backup and when restored it looks exactly like it did before
Is your phone rooted? If it is then get Titanium, if it's not then MyBackup Pro.
Titanium is by far the best.

Im not rooted yet. want to be 100% confident how i unroot for warranty claims before i take the jump
MyBackup Pro should be fine until you root. Titanium is an investment!

Rooting does scare me more on the samsung. Rooted my HTC desire and it was easy to restore to virgin state.
Thanks for your help with the backup software options
It is all new to me too, just moved from the Nexus One.

Hey all,
I did a short search for this info both in this forum and outside, and it seems like no one has come up with a solution yet. For the last thread like this one, please look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13160755
I flash ROMs regularly on my DInc, and I would like to start consolidating as much info as possible. Does anyone know of an app that will either transfer or sync bookmarks between phones/ROMs (ie, get the data on a SD card)? I am not interested in third party browsers - I'd like to keep it simple.
If I have to go searching through data directories, I will. But it seems as if this should be easier than that. I have heard of issues with Titanium Backup - often causes errors/fc's, so I am also not looking at that as a solution right now.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I back mine up and restore them issue free across roms with Titanium Backup. Never had a problem, always use stock browser.

That's how I moved them from my dInc to my Tbolt too. Works great.

Im using Titanium right now but wanted to know if there were any others out there that did the same that are worth checking out. I want to be able to backup my apps and the apps data and be able to restore them like Titanium.
Titanium is good but I find too many errors in the backups that it makes. I want to be able to restore apps with their data.
Any suggestions?
My backup pro

Rom toolbox pro. It's also got root explorer, icon changer, rebooter option, app manager, and a build.prop editor. It's got nearly everything you would need.
Ill try both. Thanks for the suggestions.

The problem with titanium back up is that its"too good". It backs up the data as you currently have it much like a nandroid back up. That's great if you don't switch ROMS, cause if you accidentally delete an app then you can restore it. A lot of new ROMS don't tolerate any data at all though so it kind of renders titanium back up use less. If you do use it you will get errors because of the data it restores. Your apps need a clean install when switching ROMS. I suggest. AppBackup off the market. Its free and makes a full copy of all your apps by pulling the apk from the system and saving it as a file on your external sd. You have to re install the apps but it leaves the data alone. Unfortunately you can't save your high score onpc angry birds while switching ROMS. At least ICS ROMS.

Titanium Backup has the option to restore app and data, app only, or data only so this shouldn't be an issue. I have ran AOKP since build 32, and have never had an issue restoring user app plus data from one build to the next. I can't speak to different Roms though.
My Backup Pro.
Been using it for Months.
Excellent Backup/Restore app.
look i have used them all and by far the best for the buck is rom toolbox pro it has it all with ultimate backup built in.it will automatically backup new app if u want it to so that way if u forget before switching roms ur still good to go plus all the bonus the toolbox has makes it in my opinion the best app on the market
Astro file manager does a good job. That is what I use, it backs it up and installs your apps.

MyBackupPro. Never any problems and always works. I flash a lot and it doesn't disappoint!

My personal favorite is "APK Batch Installer Tool" hands down! It allows for multiple back-ups to your PC, saving space on your device. Save just the APK's or APK's with data. One of the things I like best is creating folders on my PC, indicating the ROM and version. So its a no brainer if i want to restore a favorite ROM with data I simply select the appropriate folder. A hidden feature is the ability right click and choose back-up/restore all. These functions can be performed wirelessly or by usb cable. Also you can "fix permissions". With a short learning curve, frequent updates, solid performance, its become my must have app. Don't forget to show the dev some love.
The problem with titanium is that i have to use classic installer and its a pain when u got 60 apps backed up. But I still think its the best backup app out there. As for the guy saying that its incompatible when switching roms there a workaround. All u have to do is uninstall and reinstall the troubled app then restore data separately. I ran into that problem from blue kuban 1034 to 1035.

Also titanium has more options than romtoolbox btw. Not trashing on romtoolbox its still the best utility knife but just the backup functions and options comparison I have to say titanium hands down.

Does it exist? I've just been fresh installing everything since day one, and I'm fine with that but if there's a faster way without sacrificing stability I'd take it. I've heard both good and bad about titanium backup.

When you install a completely different rom, a full wipe is necessary. No way around that. Titanium backup pro will help you restore apps and data quickly. Free one prompts you to install each app individually.
Yeah, I used tb to install apps and data but that seemed to slow the ROM down to a crawl. Even just restoring apps seems to inhibit the ROM a little bit. I'm more than willing to just fresh install the few apps I do use just to be safe. I get super OCD with making sure I get a good flash.

I don't think there's any way quicker to restore apps and sms than with TB and SMS Backup and Restore...there's always the backup feature in Nova Launcher too (if you use that). For a long time, I stopped making nandroid backups, and after flashing multiple Roms every week, I appreciate their true value now lol
I absolutely adore nova's restore feature resetting up my screens was my least favorite part of flashing, especially when I used to use a ton of widgets.

Hello
I just got my note 2, moving on from the Galaxy S2 running CM 10.1. I have not rooted my phone yet but tried us my backup pro. It worked except for none my apps have my old data, such as saved games. I had problems with this before with titanium pro. Has anyone tried google backup or any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Download the app on your new phone and sign in with the same account thats linked to the old phone

I do it with Titanium backup. It works fine. Apps are fairly easy to restore with data. Big games are much more troublesome. Their data are bigger and store in different areas so no so easily backed up.
If you haven't rooted yet, try Carbon. It doesn't require you to be rooted to backup apps and data.
