[Q]APN backup and restore - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which one is the best app on Android market for this task?

Titanium Backup is the best as far as I know. Though you will need to root the phone to be able to backup.
there is the web site matrixrewriter.com/android/
you can easy find the app on android market as well.

Need the best one without "root", thanks.

I'm sure there's a way to do it; I, personally, don't know where the settings are stored though

Titanium Backup will do it just fine. I always back up my CM settings.

yes, you can backup apps+data with titanium backup, but how do you backup VPN, Wireless and other CM7-settings? afaik it is not possible to save those settings with titanium backup!?
if anybody could tell me where the settings are stored i could use adb shell or root explorer and simply copy them.

Your wireless network settings should automatically sync with your Google account, but there are options in TB to specifically back them up. I'm not sure about VPNs, but you could poke around for it. I only know that selecting "back up all user apps and system data" and restoring it is essentially a nandroid. Other than re-adding widgets and changing the wallpaper, I can't think of anything that it doesn't save.
ok, but this would be a complete backup. i could do this with rom manager. so my main question is: where are the CM7-settings stored?

Deleting Factory T-mobile Bloatware??

Either Freeze the apps with Titanium Backup Pro, or delete the APK's using Root Explorer (apps are in /system/app).

Backing up accounts

Is there a way to backup your accounts, so when you wipe the phone, it's easy to reconfigure?

I have titanium. I could create new zip file, but I'm just looking for bare phone setup. Besides, no recovery yet for Sprint variant.

I don't know of any way to back up accounts.
If you have a recovery installed and are rooted you can back up the entire phone but I don't know if just restoring accounts is possible using anything.
I feel your pain. For my company I have many email accounts. It is a pain to add them when I go to a new phone or something.

Best backup app

I am looking to root but have just set it all up. Whats the best app to back everything up so once roted and i have lost everyting it starts again the same way i left it
Best backup app with root access is still Titanium Backup imo. Helium sucks and isn`t worth your money to be honest.
Using Titanium Backup for years now... It's all you need!
Cheers, Axel
I need it before root so that when it is rooted i can just put all apps etc back on

Sorry, misunderstood your intention I would suggest a nandroid backup with TWRP ! This way you can recall the phone exactly as it was when performing the backup...

Root first then setup. Google will restore all apps but without media,calls,emails or text. For all this you need some cloud backup because root require bootloader to be opened so device will be wiped.

noob question about backup/restore

With TWRP, can I back up the apps, make a full wipe, and restore all of them without having problems with clean instalation? Or is better titanium backup? Or is better download all apps again of Internet?
TWRP will back up the APKs, but can't back up some of the app data saved to the /data/media folder. If you restore a nandroid after wiping the /data partition, you'll find that some of your apps will have been effectively reset. It's better to use TiBU to save it.

Don't go on that route. You may get banned from XDA.
TiBu really is worth its price, especially if you use it a lot. And somehow I have a feeling that most people on XDA forums do need an app like this quite often.
