I have a Arc S with Stock ICS 4.1A.0.562
My bootloader is unlocked (via Sony's method)
I am rooted.
I am using Link2SD to store many of my apps (space runs out quickly!)
If I flash to the newer firmware- is there a method of keeping all my apps, accounts, history..etc?
Use Titanium Backup or similar.

The free version works well but when you want to restore, the batch function to restore requires you to tap accept for each file.
would recommend you for the pro key,
save your self from boring accept for every app.

Hi... Like everybody here, I love to try new roms, versions, etc... The problem is that everytime we full wipe our phone, we obviously lose everything.
I was looking for some tools to help me to backup/restore my apps (including swype, which seems impossible to backup) quickly. Titanium backup can't restore automatically... What about Rom toolbox pro? Worth it?
Thanks
There's always cwm which will backup whole ROM it includes apps and data, combined with titanium you can restore phone back to stock.
Cwm will not back up automatically.

I don't want to backup to stock or restore the rom... I just want to have my apps and data back quickly when I change my rom...
Titanium Backup up is simply the best. Also My Backup Root is worth trying.
Titanium is good but the noisy thing about it that you should press install for every app you restore.
if u tried Titanium Backup Pro you wouldn't ask expect for auto restore

Sorry mate you are wrong with pro version you can select batch option sand restore all system or user apps with data is available.
Select option key then select batch.

I vouch for that app as well as nothing can beat this ... saves me a lot of trouble!
I have backed up all the games from stock 2.3.4, i'm now back running gin2jb and have the titanium folder on sd with all the games there, but when i open titanium backup it's showing nothing in the restore section, but there showing all 6 at the verify backups.
BTW i found my bootloader was unlockable and managed to do it and now using Doom kernal
Click the menu button in the backup/restore tab and click "batch". In restore options, restore all apps with missing data. This should do the trick.
Alternatively, in the backup/restore tab, find the apps you want to restore, press it and then you should have the option to restore there.

Can you import them in titanium? Menu>import. If that doesn't work you could flash back to your old rom, send the backups you want to your sd card by long pressing each app you want exported and clicking "send latest backup", make sure you select data + app (easy import), and then flash yor new rom and import them and that should work.
You shouldn't have to do it that way but since all else is failing this would be an option.
everything going well, now i want v6 supercharger, but it wont let me install busybox from the market it's been around 10 mins on version 1.18.2 saying installing

I am considering to install a new ROM for my Wildfire S, my phone, has been rooted, and with a number of apps installed.
I would like to find out a method to reinstall (or restore) all the apps in a short time, which some of my apps are on the phone and some are linked to SD.
Can I use some method similar to Nandroid that can allow me to restore the apps just like restoring the system?
Thank you

I've learned that restoring apps using TB may cause problems.
Is there another way to get the saved files for apps. Like copying it to have a backup. Where can i find such files?
Thanks in advance.

Restoring apps causes problems mostly if you try to install JB-only apps onto ICS or ICS-only apps onto GB.
Certain Play Store apps have multiple versions, for example one for ICS only, one for GB only etc.
Problems occur if the apps installation fails, one possibility is above, but there are others aswell.

Thanks for the answer.
So, is it safer to download the app from play store, to get the right version as you said, and then restore the data using TB
Or will it change the apps version.
I often change rom so app data is always deleted.

Download the app from Google Play and restore the data only. It works fine. I have used this method many times when switching from CM10.1 to stock ROM and vice versa.

What my friend on the post above me said it's always the safer, but something I always use and never failed (perfect recover of everything, apk and data) is Mybackup ROOT, I got horrified when tried to use titanium once, and instantly came back to mybackup, for me it's the best, you do backup everything.

Thanks but it doesn't backup the data. I mean, only the apk's so the progress in games are wiped out.
Still. Thanks.

Will try this one.
I switch between ICS and JB roms. Haven't tried GB yet. XD
I think this is really the safest one.
Thank you.

Sounds like a great app.
I will also try this one.
Or maybe combine concepts with the previous post. Just to make things even safer.
Thank you too.

This method is OK since you restore the data without touching the main app, so it doesn't matter which ROM you install the app on.

Before installing the new update, I want to backup some application data. For example the Simpsons game. just copy the folder found in /data/data/(com.ea.simpsonsgamename(sp?)
Then after installing update, reinstalling game, just copy that folder back?

I'd recommend Titanium Backup Pro. It's 5 bucks and you will find immense use for it. You just click Batch and it does all the work. You update and the restore and you will find this works with no headache or data loss.
You can use the free version of titanium backup, but you won't be able to batch restore.

Forgot about that, D'oh! I have the paid version too.
Just be sure to restore app and app data only when changing roms. Restoring system data can cause issues.

the free version of titanium allows batch instore but you have to individually click "install" when the application pops up. a little annoying if you have lots of apps but worth it if you dont wanna spend money
