Ok so I flash roms a lot and use titanium backup pro a lot for this but recently I switched cable providers and no longer need Verizons app. How do I take that off my backup list? Its annoying that I always have to uncheck it.
I'm pretty sure you can uninstall it and delete the backups from inside Titanium Backup. At least you can in the paid version.

Hey guys,
I have already rooted my friends phone with the 1.47.651.1 ota update and everything went fine.
My only problem is I have a lot of apps I don't want to loose, paid ones as well. Is there anyway to back these all up?
Obviously I have no problem getting the free ones back but if I had to delete the paid one is it possible to get it back without paying again?
Don't quote me on this, but i believe i have read in a few places around the forums that say you can redownload paid apps without paying again.
Did you just get the phone / have to run any of the OTA updates? It might be possible that the original unrevoked method can let you use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps, then you can run a root + nand unlocker & just restore your apps.
correct, paid apps are tied to your gmail account, so as long as you use that gmail account then you can re download any app you paid for.
I agree with Veritas - Titanium Backup will be your best friend if you plan to root, flash ROMs and so forth.
I've been using Titanium Backup since I got my EVO and I love it. Very easy to backup all user apps/data to the SD card. Once a new ROM is flashed, install Titanium Backup (your license key is located on your SD card, so as long as you dont format that, you should be fine. You can copy that file to your PC as well for a backup). Once the new ROM is up and running, simply do a Titanium restore of all user apps/data. If it werent for Titanium Backup, I would not be flashing custom ROMs as often as I do.
This takes a while but you can backup apps with most of the file managers on the market without root access. All it backs up is the apk though. Just use it for the free ones. After you root then titanium backup is your best friend

I've switched ROM's and Titanium backup is still backed up to the previous ROM. I wanna start fresh (as far as all my backups) with this new ROM.
I think I go to Backup/Restore-menu-batch- run (delete all backups (caution)).
Is this correct?
Secondly, I have many apps/widgets that I froze with Titanium. Do I need to unfreeze these before I make a new backup?
thanks much...
I would suggest not deleting your old backup just yet. Sometimes there is a setting or app that I realize I need a couple days after the fact. I would go to preferences in titanium and change the backup folder name to something else and make a new fresh backup of everything. That way you have a fresh backup without losing your old stuff just in case.
But if you do want to just delete everything then run the delete function you metioned.
As far as the frozen apps are concerned, I've never used the freeze function but I would assume that a backup is made even if it frozen because the apk is not deleted.
does any one have a list of the app that can be frozzen without disruption the use of the phone? also im ussing LP so the sense can go too? if yes what are the sense apps
I have a UK Desire Z, which I love!!! I have been reading up on rooting, and after researching a lot, I have got ADB up and running and am now comfortable using it. The next step is to permanent root/s-off so that i can install gingervillain.
The questions I have is this. I have the 1.72 ota update, so Im going to have to downgrade to do all of the above, and with this will be wiping my phone. but I have a lot of apps and things on my phone. Contacts im not so worried about as it syncs with my gmail, and I will backup the sd card on my pc. But for all the apps and other settings, what is the best backup solution. i know of titanium backup, but with that can I back it up on 1.72 ota and restore it into gingervillain? I know once ive fully rooted it and installed clockwork mod recovery I can do a full backup of the phone, but is there an efficient way to migrate everything from my 1.72 to a new rom? I know I will be getting temproot first in 1.72, so can use things like titanium backup before the wipe.
Thanks
Titanium Backup works really well. Been using it for several months now. I bought the pro version for batch restore of apps.
You will be able to use it just fine to back up all your apps then restore them all together into any other ROM you flash. They all stay in the Titanium Backup folder on your SDcard. The nice thing about it is that it saves all the app data as well (assuming you choose to back that up), which allows your apps to be restored to the exact point at which they were on the original ROM (aka game save states, passwords, preferences, etc.)

Cool, hope it works the way you expect.
This has to have been asked already, however I am unable to think of sufficient search terms to turn it ip.
What I am looking to do is back up all my personalizations(sp?), ring tones, email configurations, text messages, all apps, etc and restore them back after a rom change or reinstall of the same rom.
Thanks
If Adroid had taken a backup of your apps and Settings then it would restore them. All you need to do is to log on with the same Google account as before. If you had not enabled Backup and Restore (Settings > Backup & Restore) then it will not restore anything.
I've used Titanium Backup for this - for a more in-depth way to backup and restore. It's just important to read and understand what you can and can't do with it or you can cripple your ROM and have to wipe and start over.

I have never had much luck with the google restore. The only thing I have ever been able to get it to restore with any reliability was my contacts. Having my apps restored is below 50/50 and I always have that setting on. Even when it restored my apps it never restored my Text Messages although I do have an app for that. It is more the configurations that get annoying.

I'll have to take another look at Titanium Backup. I played with it a couple years back but never delved into it too much. Mainly used it to freeze apps on my Sensation when only the temp root was available.
Thanks guys.
I've used Ti Backup for years but it can be a little cumbersome. Helium by Koush is a little easier to use.
My last wipe was owned by Nandroid Manager
I've never restored wifi, bluetooth and SMS so reliably before. As long as you do a full Nandroid backup before you wipe, NM can hunt through your backup for whatever data you need.
As the title says, I've been using Titanium for quite some time now and it works very well for the task.
However, I'm looking for an alternative full backup solution to Titanium since it tends to freeze (even though it gets the job done) and the interface is really outdated (sometimes confusing).
Open source and free would be nice, but I'll take a paid app if the asking price is reasonable and app really gets the job done.
What about oandbackup? I used it only once but it did the job.
I use swift backup, it can backup directly to gdrive
I bought it many years ago, but it was fairly inexpensive at the time, it's an IAP so you can check whatever it supports now and see if it works out for you
I have just switched to swift backup from titanium backup because of split apks. Its pretty good and I use migrate for backing up and switching roms.
I'll look into these backup alternatives, I've tried Migrate and I really like it.
I'd like to only one all-in-on backup solution, but I don't mind having two really good apps compromising each other in features.
Can't go wrong with SwiftBackup. Works very well and has a lot of settings and customisations which you can use to adopt it to your usecase
I use Migrate now... I think so far it's the best... also I've Titanium Backup, MyBackup Pro (before)... In the midst of switching to other ones... then I tried Swift Backup... but if you want privacy... and avoiding using Google Backups... This is not an option... it is very annoying that every time installing this app, you have to make the app go online to phone home and tie to your Google Account first... even I just want to do offline local backup... I've decided not to pay for it, was intended to pay, after hearing all the praises about Split APKs. Also recently I used it (Swift Backup) to backup... I have problem restoring an app... with some error of an app. I won't count on this one too much.
Swiftbackup
Stupidly painless
No Google or Miui Cloud backups here...
Does TWRP backup work for the Poco F3 yet and how does it work exactly (never actually backup up with TWRP)?

The previous TWRP didn't restore my backup. I haven't tested the latest release however seeing the development discussions they've been focusing on ROM flashing and zip flashing so backup restore has not been prioritized so I assume it still doesn't work yet
Swift Backup + Migrate looks likes a good alternative full backup solution to Titanium Backup.
I'm still testing it out, but so far so good...thanks again guys.
Neo Backup (formerly OAndBackupX) can be a really good option if someone is still looking for backup tool. And Migrate-GPE for changing ROM and stuff.
