Titanium back-up?

Sorry for such a noob question but I've searched and can't find it? I'm upgrading from Captivate to a Galaxy s2. I've done a full back-up via titanium back-up on the captivate. When the S2 arrives, do I just restore it on that or will that not work between different model phones?

From my experience, it does not work properly. The apps reinstall, but the data on some apps does not transfer over. I had to start Stupid Zombies all over again, for example.

Thanks for that. I'll go to my plan b, write down the aps I have currently and just reload them via the market when the new phone arrives

The 75 apps I had on my Desire Z all restored fine onto my SGS2.
I also restored my call list/sms/mms with MyBackup Pro.
If you just want to make a list of your installed apps you can export a list with aTrackDog

I was also able to use all my backups from my desire and restore onto my sgs2 without any trouble.

If I could also ask something...
I had the SGS and now I have the SGS2...I made a backup of everything with titanium backup and after the restore an the new phone the memo app (Samsung notepad app) didn't return my notes which is VERY important to me...Is there a way to open and read my notes??

I suggest you try restoring user apps with data (letting alone system data).
If something goes wrong you can reinstall the specific application.
You can also restore user apps without data if you wish.

I would just reinstall apps no data.
There is also an app called Sharemyapps that you can use to send yourself or friends a list of your apps in email/text etc

[Q] How does Androids built in app backup work?

So I've been using titanium backup now for about 3 years. Sometime between then and now Google has included a service that backs up your apps and app data for you, and restores them on your new or freshly wiped phone.
My question is does it really backup all your app data? I'm assuming it just re-downloads the apps from the play store and restores that apps data? And how often does android backup your apps data?
Some clarification on how this works would be great. Thanks.

Yeah want to know this too!
And how I'm able to delete these apps, because every time I accidentally leave the box ticked, it downloads apps I don't use... Like freakbook, and its pretty annoying, that's why I don't use it anymore...

The app have to support application backup for it to work.

I, too, would love to learn more about managing what's stored in Google from our phones. I've been on Android for years now, and can't imagine how much crap is up there that would be worthless today. Having an option to review your backed up apps and data with the ability of pruning would be wonderful.

A Google search has found this

you'll probably run into issues when switching roms, if you're going to restore system data everytime.

So far I have settled for a Nandroid backup and mybackup from the market.
Titanium serves the purpose as well. Although I'm not much of a fan yet.

Titanium backup, only use it to backup and restore user apps though, use gapps an google playstore to restore system apps.

Best way to move app data from old phone?

Hello
I just got my note 2, moving on from the Galaxy S2 running CM 10.1. I have not rooted my phone yet but tried us my backup pro. It worked except for none my apps have my old data, such as saved games. I had problems with this before with titanium pro. Has anyone tried google backup or any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Download the app on your new phone and sign in with the same account thats linked to the old phone

I do it with Titanium backup. It works fine. Apps are fairly easy to restore with data. Big games are much more troublesome. Their data are bigger and store in different areas so no so easily backed up.

If you haven't rooted yet, try Carbon. It doesn't require you to be rooted to backup apps and data.

[Q] (Q) How do i Transfer over games saves?

I just bought the 2013 Nexus 7 and downloaded all my apps. How do I port over my CSR Racing and Real Racing 3 saved progress from my Nexus 7 2012? I have spent hours and hours playing these 2 games not to mention made in app purchases i don't wanna start all over. I don't have a FB signing in via social media isn't an option.

If there's any app that'll do the job quick & easily it'll be Titanium Backup. Backup app+data from the old and restore on the new.

You could try helium.

I have used it before.
Doesn't one of the new google services transfer over saved game data also.

Copy the respective data folders from your old nexus' sd card, and paste them in the right place on the new nexus.
If there are any additional folders, google them, and find them in your old nexus and paste them here too. I did it in Raging Thunder game I used to play on my old Desire, and even Smash Cops Heat, though I don't play them anymore, they worked back then with all data intact..

Easy peasy
open titanium backup> backup those games> plug your nexus 7 to the PC, and get the folder in sdcard/titaniumbackup, then plug your new nexus 7 and transfer the folder to it.
now open titanium backup in your nexus 2013 and restore the games.

First thing we need to know is if you are rooted or not. Titanium and many other backup apps only work if you are rooted.

Titanium is a real arse in my case. Hugely messy, and doesn't seem to wok in my case. i've tried it on two devices, my old desire and new nexus, but it seems to like being stuck. Often used to cause bootloops on my old Desire, and now doesn't work on my new nexus, so I've ditched it, and I'm using other methods for that.

Obviously, you will need to be rooted...

Using Helium partially worked I was able to upload my game save files to Dropbox but I couldn't restore them down to my N72013 Helium kept giving an error message. So I don't know where exactly to copy & paste gaming files to on the N72013

If you have helium on both devices, you can sync the data of any app between the two. Works great.
