Hey all,
I did a short search for this info both in this forum and outside, and it seems like no one has come up with a solution yet. For the last thread like this one, please look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13160755
I flash ROMs regularly on my DInc, and I would like to start consolidating as much info as possible. Does anyone know of an app that will either transfer or sync bookmarks between phones/ROMs (ie, get the data on a SD card)? I am not interested in third party browsers - I'd like to keep it simple.
If I have to go searching through data directories, I will. But it seems as if this should be easier than that. I have heard of issues with Titanium Backup - often causes errors/fc's, so I am also not looking at that as a solution right now.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I back mine up and restore them issue free across roms with Titanium Backup. Never had a problem, always use stock browser.

That's how I moved them from my dInc to my Tbolt too. Works great.

What are they backed up as? File name?
Within titanium, it's [bookmarks] browser V. x. x. z

Titanium Backup does this. You can backup/restore apps & settings. Also, you can extract the .apk files and copy them to your sd card.

I'll second the Titanium Backup recommendation, makes it easy to get your apps back where they were after your flash a new ROM or wipe. It's a must have app for any Android phone IMO and is good enough to be a sole reason for rooting (I rooted my mom's OG Droid just so she could use TB)
Is there a auto install for titanium? Instead if running batch and clicking install for every app?

The paid version doesn't require you to click install for every app (it's a true batch operation).
Do i need the premium key??

make sure that your data and contacts are syncing with google, you can do that by menu>settings>accounts>autosync
Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Get rid of the double-ended dildo. That'll free up a fair amount of space.

lol. That's actually the ever-helpful Gingerbread keyboard on my NookColor. Gotta love it.
The latest paid version of Titanium Backup allows the deletion and restoration of system apps. You should see a red Happy face, IIRC.

Yesterday I upgraded to CM7.1 from CM7.0.3
Everything was working great, until I tried re-installing the drivers for the Call Recorder app (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048195 )
Later, the camera wasn't working, and the phone wouldn't mount to my computer!
So I restored the backup I had made that morning after flashing the upgraded CM and I end up with a fresh wipe! I thought the backup would basically be a saved state of the rom. Or did I do something wrong? I was using CWM 3.0.2.4 I believe, not version 5
So, in case anyone was wondering, I did lightly search the subject, and I don't believe my problem is as severe as the other cases I've found. Some people are simply unable to restore any backups, while I was somewhat still able to.
What I hope to do is to be able to retrieve the app data from this final backup. Possible?

You didn't happen to backup this app/data with Titanium did you? That would be the simplest method to restore a particular application and data...

unfortunately not. I used to use titanium routinely, but after using recovery, I thought it was redundant.

I am running CM10 on my current S3. Can I export my SMS/MMS from the S3 to the Note 2 or will I loose them? Everything else on the phone is either in the cloud or a program that I need to re-install so it's not an issue. Thanks!
Pretty sure there is a app that backs up sms

I have titanium backup and I know that does, I just don't know if it restores to a different device correctly
Search for sms backup+
Backups to gmail account just like email.
But then again you are on cm10. That might make a difference.

Use sms backup+ for texts and as for apps and such drag your titanium backup file over and restore
It will work. Titanium backup. But besure to restore asap. It will disorient the order or wipe the newer stuff. I brought my stuff from my samsung infuse. The note 2 and s3 are damn near the same phone software wise. Especially if you go aosp to aosp.
You can cloud the titanium backup via dropbox. But its a bit weird. Id just save it to the sdcard and swap.

Good info, thanks. I'll probably go to the CleanROM once I get it. So not sure its aosp to aosp, but I'll still give it a shot.
Goback up works well too, it also backs up MMS and call logs

I want to start fresh after the kk update. I have a profile for me and my son. I looked into helium but it has iffy results judging by feedback I read. Are there any other options? I would like to avoid root for now but since I bought square trade warranty I suppose it's not a huge deal.
I back all my stuff using KIES. Backs up my apps, snotes, system settings, etc.

helium is working fine for me but you have to connect your device to a PC and runa script to be able to save or restore anything.
price for non rooted devices and probably the reason for low feadback.
I also use it to transfer apps from my phone to tablet.
Any one tried mybackup from the playstore?
Been thinking of testing it out, but never find the time....

I've had varying success with Helium. When I do a system reset and try to restore from Helium about 80% of the apps will restore with data and the rest just fails. There's no explanation of reasoning behind which ones fail. And, when restoring all of the apps the process stops when a restore fails. I have to then start restoring after the failed app.
If you are relying on getting that data back don't count on Helium.
So apart from all the great guy stuff do search on Google for full backup android using adb. No rooting needed.
I would give you the link but I am on my phone today...

I am using it for a long time, very fast with backup & restore sms`s & call logs, but toooooo slow restoring apps.
What about Ultimate backup ?
Any way to backup screen layout? Without root that is...
