Let's say for example, that in the future I'll upgrade to the Android 4.0. As far as I know all my info and apps will be lost (I could backup them but I am too lazy). But, will the apps I downloaded remain in my Google account so I can see on the Google Play what apps should I download again?

Only if you paid for them does it really keep track (if you go from your computer you can access the log of apps downloaded and add 'em that way. Or titanium backup pro has one click batch backup/restore...

Data on your internal memory not on your SD card will be wipe out if you upgrade your stock ROM. I just flashed a custom ROM yesterday and my apps installed on my SD card are still there, but of course I also performed a nandroid backup first and titanium backup as well. All the apps I got from Play Store (aka android market) are still showing when you click "My Android Apps" link.
Thanks for the info guys.

I decided to go back to stock after trying some of the custom ROMs here. I backed up all my apps using ASTRO. After flashing back to stock and rooting, I restored the apps but they are not showing up on the downloaded apps in the Market. Is there a way to fix this?
It will remember your apps from the gmail account you used when downloading them.

No, what he's saying ia that the market won't recognize that those apps are installed on the device and won't notify you of updates, etc.
If you're rooted, you can use titanium backup. Its free and it will update the market place to show the apps installed.

From thunderbolt ? Without tibu and root? Market didnt sync

The Market doesn't sync your apps from one phone to another. You need to have selected the option to back up the info on your phone and have restore on.
You can find this in the Back-up and Reset menu

thanks but I have both phones set to backup and auto restore....so you're saying your apps installed on your nexus from your old phone?
Yes almost all apps installed except for a few (Flash 11, Adobe Air, Adobe Reader). Most likely because they weren't compatible.

Adobe Flash 11 is supporting ICS. Came out yesterday.

So... this whole Google back-up thing; It restores all my (compatible) apps AND the data associated with them? ...
So If I flash a new rom... can/should I rely on this cloud backup thing to get my apps/data back, and is there advantage to using Titanium instead (other than not having to download the files)

I remember JBQ from Google talking about this on twitter a couple weeks ago. The option to let apps restore from the market with data is available for every dev to put in their apps, but very few actually use it.
I personally wouldn't rely on the market to restore the apps with data. For most apps, it won't restore data, just simply re-download the app fresh.
Why can't you use tibu? Put the tibu folder on your galaxy nexus and proceed to use tibu.. worked for me

My GN automatically downloaded all my apps when I first signed in. Obviously this didn't include any previous settings. If this failed you could always try installing app brain on your old phone,syncing and then doing the same on your GN.

What martonikaj says is true. I've read it as well. The devs of apps just aren't that into it for some reason. It only restores the apps, not the settings (at least from the third party applications).

I know, I was talking about prior to the flash release 4, days ago.
I started checking out some roms to flash and saw something that caught my attention. No all, but a cpl roms say "wipe data, dalvik,cache, system, sdext". i am running Energy 1/12/12 sense 3.5 rom with anthrax kernel and dt a2sd. If i wipe my sdext wont all my apps be gone? is this step necessary? do i just need to avoid these roms or is there another way to restore my apps? or woould i have to make sure they are backed up in Tibackup then redownload from market and then restore data after flashing new rom?
You should do that procedure with ANY rom. Yes, your apps will be gone, but that's a good thing, means the rom will run smoothly and not have "leftover" bits from old roms. Use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps.

You can reinstall those too. Those purchases are linked to your Google account, so when Market signs into your Google account, it will know what apps you've paid for, and you can simply re-download them.

Capt, sorry for being such a noob, but i thought the there were 2 reasons for partitioning your sd card...1. save internal space and 2. save apps so that you could jsut restore them when you flashed different roms. I am trying to learn as much as i can about this stuff.

Actually there is no 2. The reason to partition is to get more internal space and so your able to manage your storage settings to your liking

And, because I am the king of overkill, I also make sure all my apps are on a list in appbrain so I have a handy list to go to if I have any problems with titanium backup or want to do completely fresh installs for any reason.
Yea Titanium will backup both the app AND it's associated data (i.e. game saves). If you buy the pro version (VERY worth it) you can backup and restore all your apps with one click.
But as everyone else said, your paid apps are always remembered from the market, so you can always just re-download them. This won't save your app's data, but it can be done.
You can now also use Google to backup and restore your apps and when u sign in on a fresh install it reinstalls all your apps from the market but its slower than tibu since the download and install instead of just installing from a compressed backup on your SD
Edit: also mybackuproot will backup.and install apps with one click and its free but last time I used it I couldn't find a way to pick and choose apps like in tibu you can run a batch and check off ones you want to reinstall and not have to install em all

I am doing full wipe almost every week because of new developments on Sandvold´s ICS. Is it possible to quickly reinstall all apps and widgets after a full wipe? How?
Titanium backup from market or my backup root what i use because u can just save the app without all the data. Just backup all apps then put the backup file on ur computer, then once u have flashed rom update just download the app again off market then send ur backup file back to ur phone(usb) then using the app to restore apps

For me (using BCM ICS) it works great with the google backup. Just choose to backup settings like apps, Wifi passwords etc via Google. When I enter my google password the first time using the new rom, it asks if it should restore my settings. It then downloads all of my apps directly from the play store. However for most apps it doesn't include your app data, but that's OK for me.

I have installed Titanium (free version), and it says:
(...)
Hypershell (fast): NO (only for donators)
Apps installation fast/auto: No (Hypershell required)
(...)
I guess Titanium only does the full backup, with fast apps installation if I donate, right?

The free version of Titanium also restores all your apps with data but you have to confirm each app to be restored. This can be somewhat annoying if you have lots of apps to restore.

But I cant find "Google Backup" on play store. What is the name of the app?
PS: Ive already installed Titanium, but I also wanted to know about "Google Backup"
It's not on Play store. It is found under settings in aosp and >= Sense 2.1 roms. It remembers apps list and starts downloading them after you flash a new rom. I hate this feature.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
Right, it's nothing you need to install. It should be at Settings -> Backup & reset -> "Back up my data".
It can be a bit annoying, especially if your device immediately starts to download tons of data before connecting to wifi, eating up your mobile data limit. (However this backup includes wifi passwords, too). So if you don't have unlimited data, just ensure your device connects to wifi after restoring your google account.
Re:
From what my friend told it should work with the Play Store.
it doesn't seem to be possible with all roms though? Only once my past apps have installed automatically...
How do I backup my paid apps downloaded from Google Play and then restore them when I do factory data reset?
And my phone is not rooted.

All your apps should be saved on your google account......
Usually Google play already save all your downloaded apps (paid/free) in your My Apps section (in PlayStore press Menu->My Apps). Another option is to get AppBak from Google play & use it to backup/restore ur apps

Really? Even those games that have game save?
Well I'm not sure it saves the app data too as AppBak only create a txt file with all the apps you have & their download link (from which it restores them).
If you want the data too then you should try Titanium Backup,I read it saves app data too,but its a lil complicated to use,u might want to check out tutorials for it
