What's the easiest way to backup my apps, settings and contacts without root?
Use an app like MyBackUp Pro or Sprite.
Lack of root will limit what settings can be backed up (don't have a list of what can / can't, varies with app used and apps themselves).

Hello!
I want to get a new Rom on my Desire.
Currently i have leedroid 2.2 (froyo-rom) installed and i want to go for redux (2,3 gingerbread).
Last time I've changed a rom is quit a long time ago,
so I dont really know what is the best method at the moment.
I want to get my current settings as quick as possible, so I need a good Backuptool and a good "plan".
Important:
-sms
-emailaccount settings
-apps WITH appstore connection (updates etc)
-calender
-folderorganizer settings, widgets, and launcherpro settings
-contacts
Is there an "allround"-app, for saving all these settings in an easy way?
Whats the quickest solution for changing a rom?
Thanks for help!
There easiest way for backing up most of your data is to actually use your Google Account. So when creating contacts make sure it's created as a Google contact and the same for your calendar. They will get backed up to your account and will get restored when you sync on a new rom (this has saved me a lot of time). You could try something like Titanium Backup although I don't know what you can backup other than apps. There are SMS backup apps on market.
Yes best way is to use google acct to backup your contacts and calender.
For SMS - there are many apps in market which can backup in yr gmail (but not sure of restore) or can back up on your SD card. You can restore it later.
So generally,
I do nandroid backup(just if something goes wrong),
after that titanium backup (which saves all apps so you need to reinstall and saves your progress in games)
Launcherpro settings can also use back up to SD card (i dont use lancherpro but I do remember having that setting) which can you restore later.
So just download new ROM, wipe everything and flash it and 1st restore titanium backup and later restore your SMS and launcherpro settings.
Use SMS Backup + backs up/restores all SMS/MMS to your Gmail account for free.
You can also use titanium backup. But note that some settings won't work on a different rom especially if switching from 2.2 to 2.3.x.so be Caucasus when restoring.

Hey folks,
when i backup'd all my stuff on my rooted g1 i totally forgot that titanium backup needs root access to work!
now i have all those files backed up but no easy way to temp. root my desire z and can't find another way to restore the backups .. (not only the apps, more important the data of them and sms)
Is there any app for phone or computer who can do this without root? i guess no? or am i missing the super1clickeasytemporaryroot app?
No, I don't think there is a way to take the files created by Titanium Backup, and restore system-level data, like your call logs or SMS. If you still have your G1 handy, install a utility like SMS Backup and Restore (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore). Use it to create a backup in XML format, transfer the file over to your DZ, then use the same app to restore your messages.
Sprint screwed me with 4.24.651.1
cant root this new phone with this new software. SO I cant restore from Titanium backup. Any ideas that aren't to complicated? I'm not all that tek savy
Just a very quick question, as I can't find an answer on forums.
When running a backup with Titanium which is the best approach?
1. Back-up all User Apps and System with Data
2. Back-up just User Apps with Data?
The reason im asking is if System Apps with Data is not selected, i presume that I will not have all text, emails and preferences that I have setup?
Can someone correct me if im wrong
Thanks,
1st option, backup all user apps. I found it's safe to backup & restore wifi access points also (although not between CM and stock ROM), other system data ain't safe. You have SMS backup & restore for SMS's, no idea for E-email (I use Gmail), preferences should be set again manually just to be safe.
Hi there,
Its the first time that i've had a Samsung phone, coming from iPhone > HTC ONE X > SN2.
i havent put in a MicroSD card yet, as its on its way to me soon.
So i presume that all the app that i downloaded from play store is stored on the OS memory?
In this case how can i put my whatsapp backups to? so that it can detect it and restore accordingly?
also need to do the same thing for my SMS & Call log apps.
help~
Use titanium backup to backup the files. Install TB on your new device and backup one thing (a single one you want). This will create a titaniumbackup in your root of the sd card.
In your old device search for the same folder and copy all the files there. Paste the in the new folder created on ur n7100.
Now, if you launch TB you should see the backups there, simply restore first only app and after only data. Thats it.
Don't forget to say thanks if this post helped you.

Youre telling the Root way to the dude...he isnt rooted, or may not want to root.
@OP: you will have to put the backups to /sdcard/whatsapp/databases
And for sms backup and restore, there is an app SMS Backup and Restore from Market. You can use thay
My contact was on google accounts, so they came back with sync
For call logs, SMS and MMS, i use MyBackup PRO or Titanium Backup (very useful, but not a very friendly app and root needed)
For apps, i use again MyBackup PRO or Titanium Backup, but if the phone is not root, you can't restore apps setting along with the app. And even with root, some games setting can't be restored. It's the case with all my Gameloft Game, i restore game, setting and even the big game data folder, but when i start the game, it's an all new game that start
It's really a pity there is no standard backup and restore app in Android, and that you must root your phone to do such a useful task But yeah, Android is for geek
Hi guys, I would like to save my Apps and associated data using the Titanium BU.
I unlocked the Bootloader, installed TWRP 3.3.1-0924 (unoff.) and Magisk 19.2.
Device is: RN8P, MIUI Global 11.0.3 Stable, 11.0..3.0 (PGGEUXM)
Problem: I can install the Titanium App v8.04 or the v7 version. When the TitaniumBU trying to start, and there is some long error message (approx. 2 pages) that all list only Java errors.
Unfortunately, I have not tried the Titanium before (without TWRP and Magisk Root).
Now, I can not say whether it worked before this modification.
Question: Is there any Java settings in the MIUI settings. I didn't find anything in Settings / Developer mode. Maybe someone can help me. I just want to back up my data and the apps with Titanium. On my old Samsung it made a perfect job.
Thanks
regards wa2ld
I downloaded Titanium Backup from play store seemed to work perfectly fine for me.
I had trouble getting titanium backup to install from my backed up apk's but as JuanM2020 said, from the play store works fine. Only issue I have is I've noticed some apps fail to restore with titanium backup on my rn8pro, just hangs, doesn't matter which settings I change. Maybe 10% of my apps have to be manually installed from the play store and then I can restore "data only".
I did not have any issue installing Titanium backup I grabbed from apkmirror, latest version available.
Gave it root and done.
Tbh I had been looking in that solution to backup my apps due to TWRP issues with work profiles (second space) which I am using, and so far none of the apps I tried to backup and restore worked. It backed up the Apk yes (but I dont care about that I have backup of those already) but not once I could make a backup of the app data (well yes I made the backup) more precisely could not restore those apps userdatas. Simple thing I wanted to have my login passwords saved so it could be restore without having to retype them.
Whatsapp, telegram, protonmail and some others, restoration of userdata failed all times.
Still have not found any solution to backup and restore apps and their associated datas from both profiles. Fails on both.
It is likely working for some apps, but certainly not for the app I need it to work. Too bad for me.
Speaking of which is there a way to only backup OS settings alone (without all the apps) for like walpapers, colors, default apps, per app settings like notifications and such?
Thanks.
