Changing ROMs recommend that you wipe everything. Titanium back up is pretty good. Research it a bit because I don't know about app scores.

how do i backup on titanium if after i delete everything titanium is also gone?

Once you reboot into your new system just install titanium backup, it automatically finds where you have backed up everything on your storage

but do game scores and things in game save?

Titanium Backup backs up your apps plus the data. So yes, your saved games as well.

Make sure to use CWM to backup your current rom before you wipe.

Widgit - titanium backup pro

Hi,
Which widgit backs up just the apps I've installed with their data? (such as game progress)
Backup all new versions seems to just backup the app & not with its data.
All user apps with data seems to backup things I don't want, such as dialer, fonts, and everything else.
I just want a widgit that does a backup of the apps I've installed with its saved data.

if you mean the extra data you download for the game i dont think that can be backed up by titanium unless you copy the folder from memory card and later put back there after restoring app from titanium

No, i mean the data as in 'saved games'
Which widgit does a backup of only the apps I've installed plus my game/app progress?

A combination of "back up all user apps + system data"; to clarify this bu's YOUR installed apps + their data not "system data" proper. Add to this a "filter by label". You'll have to set up labels in Ti BU if you haven't already, and add new apps to the appropriate label group. So theoretically you could have a combination of system and user apps backed up by filtering by label if you choose the correct b/u option.
I b/u manually, so I can't confirm your thought that the data isn't being backed up.

The one your mentioned seems to backup everything,
Bluetooth pairing , calender, calculator, accuweather etc
I wouldn't class these as 'user apps' as i didn't install them.
Pain. Lol

Setting up labels might work. I'll play around with it today and see how it works. Might make a not so manual guy outta me.

Just replicated what you noticed; it backed up data for apps that I didn't install from market, and that aren't classed as a user app, etc...
Applied a label that I already had made (user apps, the ones that I installed and chose to be labelled as such), it backed up only these apps. You could break it down by label further, Games, etc... It just requires you to not forget to assign an app to a label.

So, when installing a new app / game, I'd need to add this to the label?

Best Backup App for Epic Touch?

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?

My backup pro

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.

[Q] best way to back up personel

before i take the red pill and flash the wicked rom, what is the best method to save personal data phone #,contacts, calendar appointments, email passwords, alarms, etc.?
the wicked rom says not to backup system apps, does that include app data?
thanks

Titanium Backup. You can restore app settings, say alarm clock settings, Temple Run accomplishments, etc.
I just export my contacts to my sd card and import back on a new rom. You can also link your contacts to a Google account.
I run Wicked, never had any issues at all.

Don't forget to make a backup through recovery just incase something goes wrong. You'll have something to fall back on.

Like said, make sure you make a backup through your recovery as well! Something unexpected might happen an it will save you much time.

well all would have been well, but apparently titanium did not know that i was using an s3 and must have saved back up to internal.
all i could find was my old backups from my old phone.

Search your internal storage, it shouldn't of been deleted. Go through a file manager and if you can find it, go to titanium >preferences >and restore location.

yeah, you have to change backup location in titanium settings. In the S3, it uses your internal memory as an internal sdcard. That is where it saves all your personal junk by default. When you wipe though, it is possible to wipe without wiping that data, a factory reset should be enough. If you change in settings though, you would need to configure it to use your external sd card.

[Q] titanium backup question

hello i made backup on my friend s phone, which includes all his apps and data using titanium, i did not backup system apps as i dont need them, but i made back up of all his user apps with their data.

I hope that TB has a security feature for that. Copying user data from a device to another one can be identified as hacking...
