Hi All
I am using JB CM10 preview and enjoying alot. I just want to take backup of all installed apps with user data just like the toolkit does from a PC, only I want it from the mobile itself. The routine for backup and restore is built within the os as everytime I want to take backup or restore apps I have to confirm to/from mobile... so I was thinking there maybe a way to take apps backup from within the os without any toolkit or without using PC .

Hi guys,
I am considering to upgrade to a new rom. Before I start with the procedure I have just one question:
Is it possible to backup the device before upgrading with a Backup App and restore after the rom upgrade?
I done it a lote of times with the Windows Mobile Devices and it worked like a charme, is it possible in Android Devices.
What´s the most indicated App to do it?
Thanks in advance

Or you can use ext4 recovery to restore data partition. Not recommended for different base..
Edited, you must have an existing nand backup.

Keep in mind that on Android, apps you have downloaded from Market will be backed up to your Google account.
Go Menu>Settings>Privacy and then tick Backup my Settings and Automatic Restore. Then when you install a new ROM and sign in with your same Google account it will automatically start downloading all your apps again.
For everything else I also use Titanium Backup but another alternative which some people prefer is MyBackup Pro.
Sorry nub Q,...
Best way to switch roms without losing all my apps every time... Running asop 4.2.1 and would like to check out a few others. But jus thinking about having to redownload all these apps and log in again makes me tired. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.

Titanium Backup.
Been some problems with titanium back up when flashing new roms, see galaxy nexus development threads for some examples, if you want a relatively failsafe method that stores your apps off phone you can use a file manager like astro to back up all your apps into apks then drop the backups into a folder on your computer via usb, along with any media or data you want preserved, then reload after fully wiping phone and flashing new rom, you might have to download a file manager to install the apks if rom doesnt have one. Gather you have a custom recovery installed, dont forget to update it prior to flashing new rom so you can recover if all doesnt go to plan. Good luck

If you're interested in using your PC to back things up, you may as well give apk batch installer a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880
If you are using the latest version of titanium backup, you have the option of creating flashable zips of all your apps with data included. Tried it a few times and it seems to work flawlessly for me. The key is to avoid restoring any system apps. I have about 70+ apps to restore and setup. Before it would take me an hour or two, now is done in about 10 minutes.

Titanium backup is useless unless you actually have the pro version. Pro version makes it all one click, set it and forget it. Definitely recommend it for any custom rom flasher.

I'm currently using an older FrostyJB rom and would like to update to the latest version. The problem is that I've spent alot of time tweaking the settings, downloading apps, and tweaking app settings to my liking.
Is there a way I can save all the apps, app settings, and data? That way after I update to the latest rom version, I can just load it up and won't have to fiddle with downloading all the apps and setting them up again.
Nandroid backup!
From cwm (rom manager)or (goo manager) from the playstore! It does a whole backup of all you're stuff.
Also titanium backup's you're apps n stuff. Either or but if u want the whole thing I suggest a NANDROID BACKUP!!!
U BETTER AXXEEEEE SOMEONE ABOUT IT! dont forget it

Titanium backup look up a tutorial vids on YouTube. You can just select backup data and then restore it after wards. Make sure you only select data not system

All of what he said.
Also it might be safe to assume you can just flash over on top of the old version, just don't report bugs if you have some, if things start acting weird and you get force closes, then wipe and start over. Longest run on ever.

Yeah um gonna try that too thanks for sharing.
Yep. Titanium backup is what you need.
Me I use app2zip in order to backup my apps and what i like about it is that it makes a zip that you can flash right after you flash a rom.
It says that if your data is not erase it will restore it but it doesn't work all the time for me so I use a different app to backup apps and phone data to restore them.
More steps than TB but free

I don't think he's looking to restore a full backup such as a nandroid. He's wanting to flash a newer version of a rom and make sure all his settings are the same afterwards. I'm sure he wants to have all his messages and bookmarks and apps and widgets to all be there afterward.
Honestly, I don't think there is such an app as I would have found it by now. I hate flashing rom updates every other day and having to restore my messages (and finding out that the backup is from a week ago so I've lost a bunch), downloading my apps and having to reset the settings (usually forgetting an app or 2 every time), not having my bookmarks anymore, etc.
I know you can restore a lot of this stuff from TB, as I usually do, but I always had worries about restoring things from one build onto another for compatibility reasons and to avoid FC's and such. I don't really think there is a foolproof way of doing what he wants. It's a little safer to do this by hand but inevitably you will lose or forget some things along the way.
Using TB I encountered many problems after a frosty upgrade awhile back. Something about the file system? Has anyone encountered this, as I would also like to upgrade from an old nandroid frosty bk

I agree. I prefer this over TB when it comes to backups but that's my personal preference.

Did you try to restore system data? If so, then that's the problem. Never do that for any reason (when updating the rom).
What I usually do is restore apps like evernote with data basically apps that have info on it. While others ones like Pandora without data in which I could start from Scratch without losing anything. If you want to keep actual settings really I think the only way to do it is if your upgrading the same rom to a different version and rom has to support it.

I am rooted and at .67.
In the process I lost all the settings, apps etc that I had installed. In planning for future changes how do I avoid losing all my icons, folders and settings etc? Is there a way to have the device to exactly the state I had it before flashing a new ROM? I come from Blackberry where every last setting was stored and restored.
I have Titanium installed but not sure if I am on the right path.
Titanium should do the trick...

Titanium is the right way, now you need to backup the right apps. But I'm not 100% sure which app stores all the settings .
Just remember that if you do a backup during a 4.2 based Rom and try to restore onto a 4.3 based Rom. This will most likely to restore or not work afterwards.

Considering the phone isn't rooted, I assume I won't be able to use Titanium. Is there any other app that doesn't require root where I can backup the data from my apps to restore on the Note 4?

Just got off the phone with Samsung support...the absolute best way to back up everything on the phone is to use samsungs homegrown app...
go to www.samsung.com/us/kies
It didn't work that well in the mac environment. but once we switched out to windows 8.1 it worked great..I had a problem with S-voice that stopped working and talking back to me...they couldn't figure out what was wrong..so we backed up everything...contacts, messages, photos, videos, app's you name it..music ect ect...it takes about 10 minutes to complete...backup all of it..don't do individual things...once that's done...we wiped the phone..restored it...apparently even on the At&T phone you can get into it..to also enable ADB....im assuming that's where someone will be able to get root access....then when its finished we restored it..and it restored everything including my apps...from unknown sources . The program on that page is KIES and that's what you need to run. don't mess with anything else. Hope this helps all.
I think I may go with helium. I'm on a custom rom so no sure how well kies will work for me?
