[Q] Backup then ROM Upgrade then Restore Apps Possible?

Hi guys,
I am considering to upgrade to a new rom. Before I start with the procedure I have just one question:
Is it possible to backup the device before upgrading with a Backup App and restore after the rom upgrade?
I done it a lote of times with the Windows Mobile Devices and it worked like a charme, is it possible in Android Devices.
What´s the most indicated App to do it?
Thanks in advance
Jorge

U can use titanium backup...download from market

Or you can use ext4 recovery to restore data partition. Not recommended for different base..
Edited, you must have an existing nand backup.

Keep in mind that on Android, apps you have downloaded from Market will be backed up to your Google account.
Go Menu>Settings>Privacy and then tick Backup my Settings and Automatic Restore. Then when you install a new ROM and sign in with your same Google account it will automatically start downloading all your apps again.
For everything else I also use Titanium Backup but another alternative which some people prefer is MyBackup Pro.

Advance Data Restore After Upgrading To ICS

Am I the only one having an issue with a advance restore of data after upgrading to a ICS rom? How do I go about just restoring contacts,sms and other data without causing a boot loader problem.

Restore your GB backup and go to the playstore and download sms backup and call log backup apps. They work great and save everything in xml format. And you cant restore data from a GB rom to an ICS rom.

One easy way I always do to backup my contacts and sms is go into contacts, then select options and tap backup and backup to sd card.
Then factory restore/ install a new rom and then just restore your contacts from your sd card.
Hope I helped you out.

titanium backup will work in most cases. restore app first, and if you absolutely must, restore data for apps one at a time in case any apps dont play nice.

Thanks guys

For reference when the ROM has a different base, you should avoid advance restoring because well... Different base. You can usually restore user apps+data with back up apps though

Yes contacts sync through google
No, apps will not carry over between roms regardless of their location. Look into titanium backup or similar apps
Again, titanium backup. For one click restores, you'll need the pro version. Well worth it.

seems to be easy. i will try it.

titanium backup is another good app for this. i believe it can now backup/restore sms and call log, though not tried this feature yet.
also backup your contacts to google if you haven't already.

look on your sd card...a folder called TitaniumBackup
edit: just in case, your nandroid backups are stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, assuming you're using cwm or 4ext.
it's good idea to keep a couple safe on the PC.

backup all with titanium. then you try simply instal beta 8 over 7. When it will not good, then wipe all, install 8 and restore apps from backup.

titanium backup is the best solution for this..
you can also backup apps with App Backup & Restore... it will backup the apps and restore without downloading the apps again

Titanium Backup is the way to go. I fully recommend paying for the pro version if you plan on flashing a lot.
Just search the Play Store for it.
It also has the ability to backup your phone log, messages, and wifi hotspots, which is increasingly handy.
You also have the ability to back up to GDrive and DropBox.
Just don't restore system apps or data, as you don't want to restore older versions into a new ROM.

I use titanium backup to backup my apps. So I don't have to download it again from market after formating my device. Still I have apps that I have backup last December. I restore backup after installing any mod or formatting the device. I didn't face any problem yet.

Titanium backup makes a backup of any app that you want - may it be a system or a user app to the sd card. It even backs up the data of that application - for example if you backup angry birds, then even your progress level gets backed up. Now, when you want to restore your backup the only requirement would be to have superuser access ( rooted phone ). When you restore a backup, you will have an option of only app or app+data. If you select app+data then you will get your angry birds progress back! That's how tb works.:good:
