Best app for backing up apps - Desire General

Have used titanium backup in the past but find that restorations can sometimes fail. Can anyone recommend an app solely for app backup and restoration which saves all saved game data as well ?

Thanks. Will give that a try.

Use my backup root, its the free version of my backup pro.
I prefer it over titanium as it has never let me down.

Titanium and SMSbackup+

i use titanium backup pro you can restore after a wipe very easily all automatic of course you have to reconsider that you can't use files from froyo for gingerbread its natural i think

Probably obvious addition to thread - I use Titanium Backup Pro - remember to restore app AND data. I've never had any issues.

Titanium Pro of course! Never had any problems when restoring Userapps + data this way.

For me the main difference between free and pro is the option, that with free you have to enter every app and system data manually, whereas pro does this automatically. So if you do not flash roms very often, titanium backup free is sufficient.

When I tried "My backup root" it didn't re-install any paid apps.
When I used "Titanium PRO" I used the one bundled with the ROM I flashed, which wasn't current, and was different from the one I backed up with, and I had FCs. So make sure you always download the latest, even when it's bundled. Oh, and I had to reboot before the changes it made were applied.
There can be problems with reapplying system data from one ROM to another ROM, so in that case, just do the apps.
Alternatively, use appbrain to keep a list of apps

Tried both (Titanium and Mybackup). I prefer Titanium Pro since it had nevet let me down.
Once had a problem with Titanium not restoring some apps, but that was due to the lack of space on the phone.
Cheers

I use MBP which I find really good except that it does not backup Wireless Keys and Account info. Does Titanium do this?

[Q] What is the best way to backup apps before installing a new rom?

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.

How to back up my 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.

[Q] Restoring everything from my Backup?

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.

App backup

Does anyone know how to take the apps backup and restore them on any custom rom ????
My Backup Pro and Titanium Backup. Available on Play Store.
my backup pro is taking long to backup
Tough luck.
Try TB.
I used to use App Backup and Restore app from Google Play. It converts the apps into apk files that you can reinstall later. You'll lose your data, though, that's why I switched to TB.

Use titanium backup paid version, it's the best backup app. I use it all the time when I migrate through ROMs. Very easy to use and efficient. You can also backup user and system apps. And also I think you're in the wrong section.

Backup Solution since no Titanium Backup?

Pretty much as the topic says. I'm in need of a backup solution for my note 4.
A bonus would be able to restore apps that have been backed up using my titanium backups I have stored, but the ability to backup this existing phone is most important.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi, I used Helium found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en
It works pretty well, restored my apps and data from my previous phone. However, it will not restore TB backups. You'll have to install Helium on your old device, back up your apps + data, then restore to the N4. Helium did not handle MMS well, so I installed Mybackup Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro&hl=en to handle SMS/MMS.
Fortunately, with the release of lollipop, Android will finally incorporate full app/data backup a la iphone, making programs like TB somewhat obsolete.

I think most people want TB just b/c they can freeze apps and it makes a great app manager. Really, backing up apps is good for switching roms, otherwise nandroids are slightly better since it retains all the widgets. So many widgets fail from restoring with TB
In general when flashing ROMs or switching phones it's not a good idea to install apps from a backup. Just do a clean install and you can be assured to not have any problems. When restoring a backup all sorts of things can go wrong, including data getting corrupted.
