[Q] How to Reinstall all apps after full wipe? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

App data? You don't have to restore it. It asks you if you want to.

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.

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...

A backup is a great idea but the problem i encounter is that as soon as i log back into my google account it starts to download all the apps again anyway.
Any idea how to stop that happening? Having a solid backup would be way easier than wasting all that mobile data every time i flash a new ROM, which is often.

Forgot to add that as u log back in to your Google account after a new flash, if its prompts u that Google is able to restore apps and settings for u, decline it.

easiest way to restore apps

From thunderbolt ? Without tibu and root? Market didnt sync
bump?.............
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.
Yeah I can't seem to get titanium backup or mybackup pro to restore any of my apps, I'm rooted with custom rom verizon lte version

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).

backup all with titanium. then you try simply instal beta 8 over 7. When it will not good, then wipe all, install 8 and restore apps from backup.
titanium backup is the best solution for this..
you can also backup apps with App Backup & Restore... it will backup the apps and restore without downloading the apps again
Titanium Backup is the way to go. I fully recommend paying for the pro version if you plan on flashing a lot.
Just search the Play Store for it.
It also has the ability to backup your phone log, messages, and wifi hotspots, which is increasingly handy.
You also have the ability to back up to GDrive and DropBox.
Just don't restore system apps or data, as you don't want to restore older versions into a new ROM.

[Q] help please?

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.

Do you want to restore data too or just the apps

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

The problem is, Titanium backup requires Root

Restoring vs. Reinstalling Apps...

I'm planning to do a complete wipe of my phone because of a few issues I'm having with it (random reboots, apps force closing, etc.). I was wondering if a fresh reinstalling via the Play Store would be better than restoring my apps via Titanium Backup or if it actually even made a difference at all? And if I did reinstall the apps through the Play Store I assume the only way I could get the settings, etc. is if I made a backup and just restored "app data" with TB or is this just the same data that I already have on the internal SDcard that doesn't get wiped after a factory reset?

I always do a restore using TB without any issue. But in your case with some apps FC. Is recommended a complete clean install from Play.
And the apps data is the one which get wiped when your make a factory reset.

I'm no expert, but I always just reinstall from the app store. I figure a clean install is probably less trouble. The only conceivable drawback that I can see is if you have apps that you have paid for, but I ASSUME that would be synchronized with your Google account. Every time I flash a new rom I sign in (after I set up my wifi and my apns) and go to the play store (takes a few minutes for market to change to play store) click menu >my apps and there they are , all current apps (that came with rom) and every Google app I've ever had. Just be sure that the rom you flash has gapps included or you will have to download and flash proper version of that as well.

I have used TB to do batch restore of all missing apps + data every time I have flashed a new ROM. It's always worked great for me. The paid version will auto restore, but in the free one you have to press accept for each app as they are restored.

I always restore through google play that restoring with tb kinda like starting fresh on new roms plus I can play all the games over again
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the tips guys. I think what I'll try first is to restore with TB and then any apps that force close repeatedly I'll just uninstall and re-download from the Play Store.
