What are you guys using to successfully back up and restore Bluetooth pairings?
I'm trying out a lot of the awesome ROMs being released and it is a PITA to pair the E4GT to my Honda over and over again...
I used Titanium and tried to restore the BT settings but that didn't seem to work.
There is a separate "BT pairings" system app that you have to backup and restore with Titanium.
Mybackup pro has option to backup data. i belive it will back up ur bluetooth settings.

I know your pain! I had the ringtones restored once but I don't recall if it was titanium that did it or the import that did it. I have since changed how I restore with titanium. Sorry but I honestly don't recall.

Both Nand and Titanium restore ringtone assignments. You can do Advanced Restore Data if you are a flashaholic.
Im using Titanium right now but wanted to know if there were any others out there that did the same that are worth checking out. I want to be able to backup my apps and the apps data and be able to restore them like Titanium.
Titanium is good but I find too many errors in the backups that it makes. I want to be able to restore apps with their data.
Any suggestions?

Rom toolbox pro. It's also got root explorer, icon changer, rebooter option, app manager, and a build.prop editor. It's got nearly everything you would need.
Ill try both. Thanks for the suggestions.

The problem with titanium back up is that its"too good". It backs up the data as you currently have it much like a nandroid back up. That's great if you don't switch ROMS, cause if you accidentally delete an app then you can restore it. A lot of new ROMS don't tolerate any data at all though so it kind of renders titanium back up use less. If you do use it you will get errors because of the data it restores. Your apps need a clean install when switching ROMS. I suggest. AppBackup off the market. Its free and makes a full copy of all your apps by pulling the apk from the system and saving it as a file on your external sd. You have to re install the apps but it leaves the data alone. Unfortunately you can't save your high score onpc angry birds while switching ROMS. At least ICS ROMS.

Titanium Backup has the option to restore app and data, app only, or data only so this shouldn't be an issue. I have ran AOKP since build 32, and have never had an issue restoring user app plus data from one build to the next. I can't speak to different Roms though.
My Backup Pro.
Been using it for Months.
Excellent Backup/Restore app.
look i have used them all and by far the best for the buck is rom toolbox pro it has it all with ultimate backup built in.it will automatically backup new app if u want it to so that way if u forget before switching roms ur still good to go plus all the bonus the toolbox has makes it in my opinion the best app on the market
Astro file manager does a good job. That is what I use, it backs it up and installs your apps.

My personal favorite is "APK Batch Installer Tool" hands down! It allows for multiple back-ups to your PC, saving space on your device. Save just the APK's or APK's with data. One of the things I like best is creating folders on my PC, indicating the ROM and version. So its a no brainer if i want to restore a favorite ROM with data I simply select the appropriate folder. A hidden feature is the ability right click and choose back-up/restore all. These functions can be performed wirelessly or by usb cable. Also you can "fix permissions". With a short learning curve, frequent updates, solid performance, its become my must have app. Don't forget to show the dev some love.
The problem with titanium is that i have to use classic installer and its a pain when u got 60 apps backed up. But I still think its the best backup app out there. As for the guy saying that its incompatible when switching roms there a workaround. All u have to do is uninstall and reinstall the troubled app then restore data separately. I ran into that problem from blue kuban 1034 to 1035.

Also titanium has more options than romtoolbox btw. Not trashing on romtoolbox its still the best utility knife but just the backup functions and options comparison I have to say titanium hands down.

system tuner hands down
I've used Wondershare MobileGo. Doesn't seem to back up the playlists on the music player application of choice. I need something that's going to restore my playlists on Google Music and Poweramp and put the specific tracks on those playlists back, as well as something that can restore all applications and SMS/Call logs to my phone after a wipe. I can't seem to find a good application that does all this (correctly) in one. Anyone have any suggestions?
Titanium backup.

Yes definitely titanium backup for the apps and i think Super Backup will backup call logs and sms but i'm not sure if it's works good or not as i have no experience with it.

Titanium will do sms and call logs as well but I've seen some people have issues. However, you can use "sms backup and restore" and "call log backup and restore" from the market. They work pretty well. I use them all the time.

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...

I'm currently using Titanium and just wondering if there are any apps that possibly do the back up and restore quicker than Titanium. It currently takes more than an hour to restore. Granted I probably have a bit there to restore but just wondering if there are better options
restoring from a nandroid backup is pretty quick. also 'sms backup and restore' is fairly good.
err on the side of kindness
I'll look into the app. Nandroid I can't use as I'm usually switching roms
