Im trying to find a backup app that backups app data, contacts, call log, messages, photos/videos. Basically almost how iTunes backups iphones but i want to back all that up into google drive. Is there any app that does that? I found ones that do somethings but not all unfortunately. If google just came up with a system like this it would make android even better but so far they haven't

Closest thing to that I can think of is Titanium Backup, but your phone has to be rooted to use it.
It doesnt backup sd elements as far as i know though

You can look to MyPhoneExplorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client
But I think it only synchronizes the backups on the pc
I am using a combination of Titanium Backup and Foldersync.
Titanium Backup to backup my phone/apps/... and than I use Foldersync to sync some directorys of my SD card to a FTP server.
Syncing with Google Drive is possible in both apps.
Not a single-app solution but works great for me
I wish i could talk to a dev about this idea because it would really come in handy. I mean most of us have 5gb of free space on google drive not being used so it would come in handy thats for sure

Is there a way to save installed apps locally (SDcard)? I bought Mybackup but to restore it I've to log in in the market and the phone start automatically to download all the apps saved. I want to save Mybackup app... but how????
Suggesting you Titanium backup, its the most widely spread app.
with pro, you can even sync backups with dropbox. You can backup any app you want, even batch backup is available.

Or you can use Appmonster. It backups installed apps on sd-card as installable apk-files. Only the apps are backedup, no data!

I just delete them, if you mess up, you can always ODIN restore your phone or just reflash the ROM.

True, or just save a copy in Dropbox folder or something

I deleted them too.
I also deleted the sprint tv, ID, sprint zone. I also deleted the ap mobile app since I don't use it. I also back them up on my dropbox and my external sd card. I used titanium backup.
Does anyone have any experience with this app? Its free with a pro version from the Play store like Titanium Backup, but I ran into a lot of problems with TiBu freezing. So anyway, I know if you format parts of your card the back up is lost and I know you can move the storage place, but it gives the option for free to store backups in DropBox. ( Something that is only in the paid TiBu.) The thing is I can find no way to restore from DropBox. All the apk's are there in the folder I created, but the app doesn't seem to be able to access it. Just wondering if anyone uses this app in this way or has had any better success with this over others.
Does it need you to download from dropbox before you can restore?
I dunno, just wondering. Hope you figure it out.
It just doesn't give any option to restore from drop box. I just thought it was a nice alternative and a free one that used drop box too. It also restores apps pretty quickly...more so than Titanium anyway. I guess the work around is to just change the save to the external sd for now.
I have it, works great. I got the pro version so i could backup up data too. Saves everything to ur memory card.

Hi folks,
I would like to invite your suggestions on what backup apps you are using which have the ability to export/import full backup on cloud without using PC in the process.
I am on 4.2.1 stock and rooted. I just don't want to store the backup on phone itself(not too much storage on nexus anyway).
Thanks for taking the time to read the post!

Titanium backup. Awesome tool, will backup all apps and data on any schedule you like, or just manually, then sync to the cloud storage of your choice.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Agreed. I use Titanium and sync it to my DropBox, all automatically on schedule
Titanium is great for sure. Although I am now using Koush's new backup app, Carbon. It is boss!
I just signup for Box and they gave me 50gig free

Super backup

Also using titanium pro for my backups.
Titanium Backup, then it can syncs to Box.com/Dropbox/GoogleDrive.
But I just change the folder of Titanium to the actual titanium folder on the sdcard and transfer it to my PC.. upload on my ISP is slow and would take forever..
Been using Carbon for backing up data and super backup for sms/call log backups. I love Carbon, back-up to Dropbox and Google Drive is pretty slick.
And with super backup, I always have the file emailed to my gmail for safe keeps.
Carbon. It's fast and let's you auto sync backups across multiple devices.

I have been using tb pro for ages but I had noticed some inconvenience when restoring backup up apps taken from another rom...
any one else experienced the same ?
Back up alternative
Hi there,
I use an online back up service. The one I use has an appfor mobile devices. If you would like the link drop me an email and I will send it for you.
Hope this helps.
Just started using Carbon and as a former Titanium backup user I'm quite impressed.

Seems like carbon is getting popular. I would give it a try as well.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I use carbon and sync it to my box account. You get 50gb storage on there for having an lg device
When you guys say carbon syncs between devices can you explain how exactly? Do I have to hit a sync button then it syncs between? Is it automatic for certain apps you specify?
I use data sync to do this auto, but it's a beta and occasionally has issues.
I do it manually. I've heard there's a way to do it automatically but I haven't discovered it yet

Carbon w/ Dropbox is working great for me. Saved me from hours of reconfiguring after a bad install got me bootlooped.

DataSync
I don't understand why carbon is getting so much attention?? DataSync has been around much longer and is much better than carbon. Carbon only has its use for those who don't want rooted devices. DataSync automatically syncs your data from apps/games every time you start/close that app or game. You can use it with box, dropbox, ftp, drive (in a week or so), wifi, bluetooth. It does everything Carbon does but better and automatically. You set up a list of apps you want synced or backed up and it backs everything up every time you have used an app on that list.
The new alpha release is very stable and works great! U can get it here.

DataSync. Titanium did not work for some reason, so I searched for alternatives. The paid version is capable of auto backing up and syncing to other devices. But since I don't have more than one Android device in use, I don't need that and can live with dropbox backups.
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.
