Does anybody know what the apk for photobucket is called? I cant find it under system/app
I just rooted my G2 yesterday and got rid of all the useless apps that Tmobile included in the stock ROM. If you are rooted, just use Titanium Backup to delete the apps you don't want. You will see a list of all the apps on your phone under the backup/restore section of Titanium, click on the app and touch un-install and its gone. Couldn't be easier, however you do need to be rooted.

Yep..
I don't use Titanium Backup, no reason I just seen it installed when I installed a rom, than I deleted it because I didn't think I would need it, Rom Manager allows me to do back-ups, and I use Root Uninstaller app to delete my stock apps.
I don't deny Titanium Backup is good, I just never used it. I may check it out later though. Root Uninstaller allows you to backup your apps, but you have to pay to restore them with the full version, and I bet Titanium Backup allows you to do it for free, but whatever?

I'm looking for the best possible solution to backup my apps and apps settings (Handcent Gmail, etc) so when I flash a new rom I'm able to open up the app thats already configured relativity head ache free.
Is this something apps 2 sd would do?
MYBACKUPPRO, TITANIUM BACKUP, ASTRO FILE MANAGER, etc etc - Just search the market for "backup" and google the diff apps to see the features of each.
+1 for Titanium

DITTO makes everything easier
Titanium for sure
dunno about mybackup pro but titanium backup donate has gotten me out of some stupid situations before. It does the apps / data / system data all seperate and lets you restore each or all at once...going to and from CM6 and keeping two roms updated to play around with has never been easier.
Titanium backup. Back up app+data.
If you are going to a new rom and not the same rom it is best to install the apps fresh and not install the apps using Titanium back up. The apps that are saved are saved with the first roms settings and sometimes just the littelest diffrence could cause all sorts of issues leading to FC's or something else.

Didn't know Ti had this issue but MyBackup Pro doesn't. I've flashed different roms to test (always gone back to Fresh because it's just my preferred) and MBPro has always restored apps+data with no issues. The newest version finally doesn't list SU, which always gave me errors back then until I figured not to restore it. Anyways, Ti and MBPro are both great options.
Newbie question here.
What are you guys using to back up your phone when you flash a new rom?
Is there an easy way to reload all the old apps when you flash a new rom? or do you have to reload everything manually.
I just put the starburst rom on my phone and really liking it. I assume I will want a flash a later version at some point and am wondering if there is an easier way to the apps back and such after flashing.
thanks
TitaniumBackup. When backing up, I would just backup the apps, and not the system data. I have StarBurst too, and it works great.
FYI if you have the free version, when you restore apps you have to manually hit install, done, install, done. If you buy Pro, then I believe you won't need to.

Exactly what Apoc said. But just buy it. Its WAY worth it
Be careful using Titanium backup to restore apps. It can cause big time problems when restoring backed up apps from different ROM bases.
AppBrain is a good app that will keep track of all the apps you have installed and you can use it as a reference to reinstall them from the Market. This is what I do, then I use Titanium Backup to restore the data to those apps.
Ok so I bought some apps from the market when I was running miui and now that I flashed a new rom those games have disappeared I'm not sure if there is a way to get them back or not but I'm not worried about it. How can I save the new ones I pay for that way when I flash a new rom they will be there??

Anything u purchase or download should be saved under my apps on the play store.
I personally use titanium backup pro to keep all my apps backed up.

+1 titaniumbackup is worth it... get the paid version. ou can do a batch back up, set up a backup schedule and restore apps that you have deleted as long as you have a backup of it. one of the 1st apps i bought and iv never regretted it,
As stated the apps you buy will always be available in the market for re-download but I would suggest at minimum the free version of Titanium Backup. It doesn't have all the features enabled but it will still do the job nicely and will also back up the data in the apps.. You can also D\L ES File Explorer and use the App Manager there to back up just the apps but no data in said apps.
All of your apps (paid and free) should be listed in the market when you hit Menu >> My apps. Personally, I don't recommend restoring all your apps using TB etc. I think it's better to just start fresh and download them again.
However, I do like to backup data with TB (My Backup Pro also good for this). I find there are cases where I do want to restore data for an app.
Wanted to throw an idea out there. Titanium Backup and Mybackuproot take up space, I backup all apps thru attachments on my gmail account. Just log in to account and download, however, cannot backup data this way, but just throwing it out there.
Is there any app that can restore all apps+data where I don't need to re-download and re-organize my apps all over again? I came from iOS and iTunes pretty much restores my phone and all the apps exactly the way I had it if I were to switch to a new iOS device. I was hoping android could do the same. For example I have apps in folders but when I keep flashing roms and I try to restore my backups I never get all my apps restored and I even have to download lots of apps all over again. I have the paid Titanium Backup Pro, MyBackUp Pro, Rom ToolBox Pro and I've used TWRP.
All of those apps will do that. I have both titanium and rom toolbox. I prefer titanium. It's fast and let's me backup and restore sms/mms too

I use Titanium Pro to batch backup then restore APPS and APP Data. Works great with about 100 or so apps I have on my device.
Then only SYSTEM data I restore is call logs/messages.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I am saying that those apps that I have paid for I have also used and not a single one will do a mirror restore after I flash a rom. Even if I go back to stock rom and restore I still have to download old apps and almost always have to remake every page and folder. What I am asking is if there is an app or program like iTunes that can do a mirror restore where all the hard work doesn't have to be repeated every time I flash a new rom?

Some launchers (I use Nova) have a backup/restore for your layout so you don't have to keep redoing it. Is that what you mean? Placement of your widgets, folders, and apps and such?
I use titanium backup and it restores everything for me. After flashing, download titanium and run batch restore. Mine even sets up nova how I had it. Titanium works, I use it almost every day. I flash alot and only clean flash. I can have my phone all set up in like ten minutes.

<<THIS!
I'm on jellybean 4.1.2, rooted, titanium backup installed. Once I back up a system app such as at&t locker or allshare play, what if I go ahead and delete it via TB? Can I completely restore it via TB later with no consequences? Thanks for any help on this.

Yes you can delete and restore apps without any consequences as long as you only delete apps that you know for sure what they are and what they do. Allshare is fine but some apps are important for the system and your phone wont run without them.
