Just a question regarding upgrading from a one ROM to another ROM, can we like preserve the applications that we had install in our phone so that we don't have to reinstall them again? Or we have to reinstall everything? What about paid applications does market automatically knows that you've purchase the app already? Thanks...

You can use an app called Titanium Backup to save copies of your applications and their settings. Then restore them back again on the new ROM. Usually the apps restore automatically anyway once you enter your google account details onto the phone, it will download all the apps you had installed previously. If you do it this way all your settings will be lost though.
And yes, market will remeber what apps you purchased.
Thanks for the quick response.. Much appreciated...

Greetings everyone, i had to do a hard reset today, and restored all apps via mybackuppro, however they are not showing up as downloaded in the market place. Is there a way to sync all apps to show as downloaded in the marketplace so that i will receive apps updates? tnx
Help please...: (
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes, that is correct.
You need to use an application that can restore Market links. I use Titanium Backup Donate version, but I'm sure there are probably other apps than can do this.

Tnx for the advice, not rooted though, so i cant use TiBackup, any other programs like TiBackup for non rooted phones?

Sorry, I'm not aware of any apps that can do this for unrooted phones.

Tnx again, resorted to redownloading everything just so it shows up up on the market list, but if anyone knows a better way just let me know

For an unrooted user, I'd suggest using AppBrain to sync all your apps, and if/when you wipe or install a new ROM, you can just download AppBrain again, and have it re-install all your applications for you from the Market.
Unfortunately, it doesn't do this automatically, as you need to manually confirm each application install from the Market, but it does save you the bother of having to search for all your apps again.

Dave
Hehe, thought of using appbrain right after the last redownload i did

Hi guys, pls assist...
I want to hard-reset my Desire but not sure if this will wipe everything (contacts, sms, emails, installed apps, homescreens, settings etc.) Or, will they be backed-up and restored back exactly as it was before(?)
Well, when I applied the latest OTA firmware upgrade, that was the case; I mean everything was in place as if nothing has changed, because in privacy settings "backup my settings" and "automatic restore" options were enabled. May I expect same after a hard-reset too?
Sent from my untouched HTC Desire using XDA App
Hard reset wipes the data and settings on your phone.
OTA does not.
You should use some kind of backup app in order to restore to the state before the factory reset.
Thx 3722, so I hv decided to postpone this for now..
And, next question in this case, if I use any 3rd party backup app and use it to restore my phone, shall the Market recognize my installed apps as if they have been downloaded and installed via market? Actually that's the only thing keeping me away from hardreset.
Is there any backup utility or a method ensuring installed apps recognized by market after restore?

Titanium Backup is what you need.
Its in the market ;-)

Yes, Titanium is the most popular backup tool and it needs root.
If you don't want to root you can use appbrain app and sync thru appbrain.com once you've reset the phone, to install the apps that you had previously.
Hmm.. I m not rooted and dont want to root just for that (will consider rooting just in case we do not get gingerbread and/or the new sense officially)
As to the appbrain app -already installed in my phone- if i backup/sync apps with appbrain, then will they be linked again to the android market, so that i will be able to get future updates, or only by appbrain?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
When you use appbrain the apps are installed from the android market, so you should have them linked.
See this thread
Thanks for all your valuable input, will give it a try soon.

Hi all
I am running the stock rooted froyo rom...i am also s-off and have installed a2sd+ and almost all my apps have been automatically shifted there....
My question is, if i wanna flash a new rom how can i retain those apps and its state (like lvl 2 in a certain game)...is there a way to backup and restore?

Titanium backup in the Market, there's a free and a paid version.
Free version backs it up just as the paid one.
The main difference in the paid version I noticed is when restoring, you don't have to click anything when batch restoring.
With free version you have to backup and restore every App manual.
If you have 100+ Apps, it will take a long time....

Titanium backup?
Probably the most useful program you will see mentioned all over these forums is "Titanium Backup". It is the best. It will back up all of your apps and the data associated with them. It will also back up your system data, which can be useful if you are restoring to a new device with the same ROM, but can break things (obviously) if you're switching from one ROM to a different one.
The free version of TB will allow you to restore your apps one at a time, and the paid version (recommended) has a batch mode, where you can restore everything in one go.
Of course TB requires a rooted device. If you are not rooted, you could use the backup feature of a program like Astro File Manager, but it is limited. It cannot back up the data for the apps (your Angry Birds high scores will be lost! ), and certain apps are "locked" and cannot be backed up unless you're rooted.
Thanks for the help! I already have the paid version of titanium backup. Just Jane to figure it out now! Lol

Doesn't HTC have built in solution for this?I thought I see something about this during setup ....
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
During setup you can configure with pc and with bluetooth some file from desire to one
If you're rooted on desire, you can use titanium, if not, you can use carbon
if you just want to transfer the apk's without data, you can just copy all the apk files from data/app/ to your computer then copy them to your new phone and install them manually also.

Use titanium backup to put all your backed up apps into an update.zip, transfer it to the One and flash away to get back all your apps and data

Use an app called Helium. With it you can back up your apps to your phone, computer, or Dropbox. You have the option of backing up just application data, or both the appdata and the app.
When you launch Helium on the new device, you can just restore from the method of your choosing. It takes only a few moments before you have all your apps back as well as all of the applications' settings/data.
