Okay I enjoy rooting my phone and changing Roms all the time but I just have a quick question. I play homerun battle 3d a lot and I'm addicted to getting far in the game however everytime I flash a new Rom my data is erased now the question is how do I go about saving the data and restoring it after a Rom flash off about my other apps just this one. I know everyone is going to say titanium backup but how do I go about saving and restoring it thanks for the help

Titanium. Use the batch backup and batch restore functions for your apps + data. When you restore, you need to reboot your phone to let the system data populate.
I don't want to backup all my apps just that one game and its data. And when I flash a Rom do I install as usual then restore or do I just go to titanium and it'll set everything up itself

Don't install it first, just use titanium to restore that app+data. You won't lose a thing. HRB3D is awesome, I completely understand your concerns.
THANKS and my final question is do I need to have titanium backup pro to back up data or is the free one good enough
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The free one will do it. The only difference between the two versions that I have noticed is the batch restore on the paid version is set it and forget it, whereas the free version you have to hit ok for every. single. freaking. app that you want to restore.
Oh okay thanks that's no problem for ne I just need to save that game the rest I can download fresh thanks so much saved ne so much playing and replaying of the samething

I don't like titanium. MyBackup works better IMO.

I've heard a few people say that. What does MyBackup do that Titanium doesn't? Or what does it do better?
Much more user friendly IMO.
You can choose to backup your data and then deselect anything that you don't want to backup (ie. text messages, call log, bookmarks, etc.).
and/or
You can choose to backup your apps and then deselect any that you don't want to backup. It will then ask you if you want to backup apps, app data, or apps and app data.
It has a free 30 day trial.......try it out.

Well you can do that with titanium too. I will admit though, it's not a very user friendly app, at least not at first. It took me a minute to figure out how to use it. I will check out MyBackup though on your recommendation. It's always good to have multiple options. Thanks!

So I enabled this on CM6 not too long ago, I recently wiped and updated to the latest version of it, and low and behold all my applications started getting installed from the Market on their own... How does this work, and is my data going to be there as well?
I do not believe it restores data
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It only restore the Market-downloadable applications. Your data (unless on an SD card) will not be restored.
Yea, no data was restored... kinda crappy... oh well, better than nothing.

TI Backup is much better and much more versatile. Worth the money.
You just sparked my interest. What are you talking about? I've googled it but haven't found anything yet. Searched in market too.

Titanium Backup:

HOWEVER, must have root.
MUST.
Your adventure may just be beginning.
What Google Backup are you talking about?
Oh. If that's what you're talking about then I'll pass.
Google backup restores wifi profiles too.
But I love titanium and did purchase the full version.
Swyped on my EVO
I use Titanium Backup because it backs up my settings, apps, data, preferences, WiFi networks, Bluetooth pairings, Cyanogenmod Settings, etc.
Really, all I do after a wipe is to skip to the home screen, open market, add my Google Account, download Titanium Backup, and go to Menu>Batch>Restore everything
It's a Google backup feature...enabled in cm roms only...it's actually quite nice if you are flashing roms everyday
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Is there anyway to get rid of the backup feature, it's pretty pointless without data and I'd rather restore my apps with Titanium...
I just wiped and reflashed and when it asked if I wanted to use Google backup, I unchecked the box, but it started downloading everything anyway...
Nevermind, I found it...
So as far as I understand it, this is part of the ASOP. So way did htc/sprint take it out?

Any body able to get an apk, to enable this on non cm roms?

Titanium is awesome and worth every penny for the paid version if you switch roms frequently. If you don't mind a little extra button mashing the free version works well.
It saves data and the version of the app your backing up. Which is really useful if you don't want the updated version of any particular app.
stupid question but i want to swith from 1 rom to another and when i did it before i lost all my apps and eveything . how do i save all this stuff and get it to come back when i reload a new rom. ?
I prefer MyBackup Pro while others like Titanium. It is generally not good practice to load anything but apps when restoring data to a different rom. If its ACS to ACS then restoring the data along with the app is fine but if you're going from ACS to say Bonsai just load the app but no data. Its not the end of the world if you do but it may lead to some instabilities. If you need the data then go ahead but try to limit it. Do not backup/restore system data however.
Post in the right section....
Moved to Q&A.
First off, this is in the wrong section. You are not developing an app that backups apps and data, next time post this in Q&A to avoid negative attention (the guys around here will be offering it up lol).
Secondly, restoring "System Data" and "App Data" are very different. App Data is very safe to restore. Just be careful when moving from Android versions. My wife lost all of her app data when she went to Gingerbread, restored all of her apps she backed up from Froyo and got a ton of FC's so she had to downgrade back over to Froyo.
The important part of using Titanium Backup is to filter out system data so you only back up apps you have installed and the data it has written (for instance the Angry Birds App and all the levels and points etc).
here is a link to a walk through that covers the ins and outs of this app

Besides Titanium, your apps should reappear for download I the market under myapps (in theory anyway) after your google account fully syncs. You can also back up your system apps with sdx app removal tool.

Why would you choose Titanium over MyBackup? I know that a majority of the users have Titanium but I don't understand why. What are the differences? I have MyBackupPro and it has worked flawlessly forever! FIGHT!
I've had Titanium for so long, I can't be bothered to try something new/different..
It just works.
With options like freezing apps, pulling backups from nands, and controlling market links, Titanium is hard to beat. Add to that syncing to dropbox and it is a pretty good package.

Freezing, wiping cache, and wiping data are also available on mybackup pro, controling market links also. How would syncing to dropbox be helpful?

Your backup is stored safely in your dropbox in case of an sd card crash or your phone gets lost or stolen. You will still have your backup to put on the replacement.

okay, thats pretty cool, other than that, it looks like a wash. I don't think I need to buy Titanium, MBP works fine, and also offers the option of storing backups online.
After almost 1 year using MBP I tried Titanium Backup. TB is faster at backing up system data and users apps and also restoring but a little too complicated compared to MBP. Also MBP can restore apps directly to the SD card(only apps with that option obviously). Maybe TB can do it too but I can't find that option.

Right, MyBackup Pro can do ALL item titanium can do, and more.
It can backup the SMS, MMS, contacts, other system data from ANY Android version to a different Android version, so you can go from Android 2.x to Android 4.x, which titanium cannot do.
If you want faster backup and restores of Applications and their Data, you can turn on the Busy Box option in the options of MyBackup (Pro).
Also, MyBackup Root is FREE and does a lot more than the free titanium
When I do full restore of system data on Titanium I get all my settings back and have had no problem going from Froyo to Gingerbread with a backup. I don't think you have used it in a while.

As well as scheduled back ups and the customizability ( made up word?) of the backups
I bought both and went ultimately with Titanium. Mainly, it was because, at the time, MyBackup did not have a master page to see what apps were frozen. You had to select each one at a time. In Titanium Backup you could see all your apps and the frozen ones had a blue bar highlight.
Titanium. The end. I used to use mbp, but I got fc's or the app just wouldn't show up after restoring

The best thing to do is really to try both.
You can get the free MyBackup Root application, which gives you just about everything you need, and the free titanium, and try them out.
MyBackup Pro does have all items Root has, plus a few more items like freezing/disabling bloatware, market linking/detaching, etc...
It's seems they are almost identical Apps. The main difference is the interface,
My Backup Pro seems to be a LOT more user friendly whereas Titanium is for more technical minded people who love control over every little thing.
My Backup Pro - Simple interface and seems not to need root, good for the normal user or the occasional rom flashing.
Titanium Backup PRO - Geared more to the technical minded who likes exploring and control, and compulsive rom flashers.
MyBackup Pro doesn't have DropBox functionality because they also make money out of selling more space online for your backups.
A way around it is to manually get your backups on your SD Card to your DropBox yourself.
In the end it comes down to a matter of preference, as they both much do the same thing
I use Titanium and I like to be able to choose every little thing I'm backing up but on the other hand there is the case of the 'unfriendly' interface (which I gotten used by now but had to do some reading on some bits).
Titanium really needs a Usability Engineer(?) on their team. They would benefit having a 'Normal' and an 'Expert' mode for their interface.
Agreed. Titanium Backup should revamp the interface or give us a choice of interfaces: Classic or Simple
I use MBP, but I don't like it. When I first used it on Froyo and Gingerbread, it rocked. Now on Jelly Bean it regularly force closes, it doesn't copy all the data for applications, some applications don't backup or restore properly. I have never had any problems with Titanium, ever. It's just so darn cumbersome.
I have used Titanium backup on 3 different devices, from Froyo to KitKat, over the past 3 years. It has worked fine thru it all. Backups & Restores are a snap to do, and are reliable. Only problems ever has been an occasional hang up, where I have had to do a shutdown, reboot, but it did not seem to affect the restore.
Love MBP, never had a problem.

MyBackup Pro now supports Dropbox
Hey guys the new version 4.2 of MyBackup Pro now allows you to use your Dropbox account as the Cloud storage option for Backups and Restore. You can use this by running the app and hitting Menu->Options then select the "Cloud Storage Location" option and selecting Dropbox.
I always use built in messaging and always lose all text when flashing. Finally want to keep what I have. Can anyone point me to a app that will backup and restore from tw to aosp? On agats stock, going to miui.
Thanks, danono

I use "Sms backup & restore" its an app from the market that backup all your text amd can be restored whenever you want... i used to flash my evo alot and used the app to restore text messages no pic messaging tho..im pretty sure you can ise it with any rom when switching... just make sure the backup is done somewhere were you wont delete while flashing.... its the app with the blue icon and a clock theres different ones
I have only used it twice from stock el19 to calkulin 3.0 and then on ff18 so it worked for me i hope it helps.. just dont blame me if u loose ur text ok :b
I use an app called "SMS Backup" and it works just fine.
I use My Back Up Pro...Love it! Used since my HTC days…works like a charm. You can back up your data online or to your sd card. Online is bit of a hassle so I just back it up to my sd card......Never used SMS Back Up so can't speak on it but My Back Up Pro backs up everything, not just sms, but contacts (not necessary but it does) apps with or without data, setting, home screens, pictures, you name it.
I use Titanium Backup all the time. But one thing I have not yet figured out is this.
I flash a new ROM.
Go to Play Store and download Titanium Backup & License.
I restore all my apps (including Titanium).
But none of the settings I've set up for Titanium Backup are restored?
I have to go through the menu and re-do all my preferences, etc. for TB.
What am I doing wrong?
Its the first option under the preferences menu.

confirmed this does nothing, hit the option, played around on thunderbird opening and closing, even killing, no such backup file is ever created. I wipe and load up a new titanium app, use the setting, but nothing happens.
so this def does not work, does anyone know of a way that does work, maybe this time with instructions on where to find this ghost settings file?
thanks!

Yeah it's been working great for me also.
Are you using the free or paid version of TB? I have the paid version and maybe that is a requirement.
