Titanium backup is your friend.
You can back up all installed apps onto your sd card and then restore them onto the note ii.
Some apps may not work unless they are installed 'normally', but for 95% of them, it'll be find.
If you find one acting weird, uninstall it and reinstall it.

i know that but, actually i was trying to avoid root on my note 2, scared
just install androzip free and use its app manager menu, saves all apps as apk to be copied and installed else where...
what i do is actually use titanium backup to back all apps and their data and then have the apk for titanium.
Install TB then use it to install everything else in one batch operation.

is it possible to obtain full root without wiping phone data? all i want to do is remove apps that i dont use...like most of the sprint/htc crap i dont care for a custom rom only want a custom kernel with all tweaks
I don't think it's possible. However, once you do get full root access and nand unlock, you would be able to remove the apps you don't want, set your phone up, and you could do a nand backup.
It can be a pain in the ass, but it's well worth it.

Use the unrevoked method. Then use a backup app like titanium, backup your stuff then go through the root process then restore your backup. There are plenty of guides on how to do this.

Titanium backup has a market doctor feature that links your backed up apps back to the market
Definitely root and use titanium backup. But keep in mind with a custom ROM you are going to lose everything you have. Any apps that store data on sd card will probably be fine.
What I did before I had Titanium Backup was flash custom ROM. Then once booted I make sure things look fine, fully sync to Google, then reboot. When I come back from that I turn on WiFi and go to market and Download section. Any apps I previously downloaded will be in that section waiting for me to download. Download them all at once, DO NOT leave that section before downloading everything again, or you will lose that list.
Once done, open apps and customize to liking. Then download Rom Manager if you don't have it already. Flash clockwork and let it do its thing. Then do a NAND backup from Rom Manager. Once that is done do backup with titanium backup.
Sounds like a lot of work, I know, but you only need to do this once. Then incremental backups with titanium and you are set. It is a lot of time up front but can save a ton of time and headaches down the road. Trust me here.
I have Titanium Backup PRO and it works fine but is a pain.
When I say its a pain, its because when I flash new roms multiple roms per day, I always need to install the gapps and then go to the market and download the Titanium Backup app and the licence for the Titanium Backup PRO to work with a single click restore. Then I must wait till all apps are restored and then reboot. Takes about 20 minutes. I would like this time to be shorter and a simple install right after the rom is installed like a .zip install within the clockwork mod recovery just like the .zip for the gapps.
Is there a way to take the apps from Titanium Backup PRO and the system data and make them a .zip so I can flash them in Recovery mode?
Even if you cant do the system data, is there a way to have a .zip that I can install in CWM Recovery mode?
Any help for this is greatly appreciated.
This can be done but there is a app called apo2zip not sure how it works on jb though

titanium backup pro allows you to create a flashable .zip that will install titanium backup as either a user or system app (your preference). you can flash it after your rom, boot up, restore your pro key then do a batch restore of all your apps. cuts out a bit of the hassle.

Don't know of any tool that will convert TiB backups to cwm flashable .zip. However, you can create an update.zip of TiB itself within the app, which can be flashed using a custom recovery. Saves your from the hassle of signing in with your google account and downloading plus installnig TiB + pro key from the play store before you can use it.
BTW: flashing multiple ROMs per day? Talking about heavy usage.
Yes this is what I was looking for. Just didn't know how to do that. Didn't know titanium backup pro did this option.
I have roms I like and those that work on some things others don't. I love the cm10 but also the aopk rom. Then on Sundays I need ICS so the Verizon NFL app will work. I use about 10gbs a month.
Hello there, I have a HTC Wildfire S I bought last week, I've already unlocked the bootloader, installed the CWM recovery and rooted the phone but I wanted to try new roms but at the same time I do not want to reinstall all my apps from my stock rom so I wanted to know a way of making a backup of the actual rom while keeping the installed apps so I wouldn't have to reinstall them, like going back time.
Yes I've made a backup of the stock rom after I rooted it and yes it is on some place safe.
Thanks.

Use Titanium Backup app to backup all the apps and their data and keep the TitaniumBackup folder from SD card in a safe place and after installing a new ROM, transfer the TitaniumBackup folder into the root of your SD card, install Titanium backup app and then restore apps.

Cwm backups all data in their current state, including applications.
If you're talking about bringing your already installed apps to another Rom,I wouldn't recommend doing it.
It worked as you guys said, thank you so much now I can enjoy CM10 and rollback to my stock rom with my apps already installed
Hi,
I recently got my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE T705. Done rooting it, now I want to somehow remove the bloat applications. What are the known bloat applications that we can safely remove so it won't eat up memory.
Also, I am interested in installing a ROM. how do we make a backup of touchwiz?
Thanks in advance! :victory:
To remove applications and backup applications use an apk called titanium backup. You can backup all your apks and delete bloatware from it too. And here's a link of a list of things to remove/debloat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2861180. There's also a paid version of titanium backup so you can upload the backups to google drove or Dropbox. Since your rooted I would install twrp recovery to also backup your whole ROM before flashing in case something goes wrong. The twrp installer is in the playstore. I forget how the installation goes for it but your have to select the type of device you have in which its some sort of weird name. May I ask what ROM are you installing? Hope this helps!

Thank you for the information.
I downloaded an application called "TWRP Manager" its asking me to select the device and also warned me that theres a chance that i might brick the device. I tried to look for SMH-T705 but its not listed there so I didn't continue.
Edit: I've made further research and was able to install TWRP Recovery. I feel safer when downloading and trying out ROMS now

Anyone have any luck using helium restore on the Pixel? Whenever i try to restore apps its says that it completed the restore but the app is not installed. I've tried it restoring my apps from the Note 7 and even taking a new backup on the pixel and restoring it...same problem.
Someone mentioned that it does restore the data, but not the APK... so presumably you could install the APK via the Play Store and it would be set up the way it was from your original device.
I have not tried it.
yes that is correct. i ended up trying that after i posted. Installed app from the playstore and then restored the data and it worked. Still a pain in the rear to manually install all my apps from the store first. I wonder if anyone has found a way to get it to install the app as well. I do have it set to backup the app as well as the data in the backup settings
