The most efficient method for backing up playlists/apps? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I've used Wondershare MobileGo. Doesn't seem to back up the playlists on the music player application of choice. I need something that's going to restore my playlists on Google Music and Poweramp and put the specific tracks on those playlists back, as well as something that can restore all applications and SMS/Call logs to my phone after a wipe. I can't seem to find a good application that does all this (correctly) in one. Anyone have any suggestions?

Titanium backup.

Yes definitely titanium backup for the apps and i think Super Backup will backup call logs and sms but i'm not sure if it's works good or not as i have no experience with it.

Titanium will do sms and call logs as well but I've seen some people have issues. However, you can use "sms backup and restore" and "call log backup and restore" from the market. They work pretty well. I use them all the time.

[Q] Moving/transferring bookmarks between phones/ROMs

Hey all,
I did a short search for this info both in this forum and outside, and it seems like no one has come up with a solution yet. For the last thread like this one, please look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13160755
I flash ROMs regularly on my DInc, and I would like to start consolidating as much info as possible. Does anyone know of an app that will either transfer or sync bookmarks between phones/ROMs (ie, get the data on a SD card)? I am not interested in third party browsers - I'd like to keep it simple.
If I have to go searching through data directories, I will. But it seems as if this should be easier than that. I have heard of issues with Titanium Backup - often causes errors/fc's, so I am also not looking at that as a solution right now.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I back mine up and restore them issue free across roms with Titanium Backup. Never had a problem, always use stock browser.

SMS backup?

So I use this program to backup all my SMS and mms but it has a bunch of SMS I don't want. Does anyone know of a way to erase everything and then back up again?

You can look in the market for a file manager. I prefer Astro File Manager and its free. Kinda works like when you click "My computer" in windows, you can find the file that the messages are backed up in, delete them, then just backup your new ones to replace it.
Would you know where they are kept? Have root explorer and was looking for anything called SMS backup but didn't find anything. I looked on the SD card and in system/apps. Appreciate the help.

Generally the app will make a folder on the root of your sd card. I can't say specifically what it would be named, but look for any indications like the apps name. I can guarantee you though, that it will not be in system/apps because apps that have the backup functionality would not designate them to where they can be gone alone with the app if you uninstall.
What app are you using? Maybe I can replicate it and help you find it.
Its called SMS backup + and I believe it may cost a little money I could be wrong though. Again any help is appreciated thanks

From what I see... It may just be backing it up to your GMAIL account. I'm doing a backup now so I'll check for you.
Yeah I just figured it out it snycs to your gmail and if you open your lables you will see SMS. From there you can just delete all then redo it. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

I'd have to disagree. SMS backup + is the easiest one I've ever used. My main reason? No files to keep since it all goes to gmail.
SD card goes bad no big deal where a you could lose your backups otherwise.
You can also restore certain SMS by using the star feature

You myst be rooted for this. Use titanium backup to backup everything to your sdcard on the old phone. Then put that card in the new phone and restore. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM APPS OR DATA. That will only lead to major headache.

Probably going to get a Note 2 soon, coming from an S3

I am running CM10 on my current S3. Can I export my SMS/MMS from the S3 to the Note 2 or will I loose them? Everything else on the phone is either in the cloud or a program that I need to re-install so it's not an issue. Thanks!
Pretty sure there is a app that backs up sms

I have titanium backup and I know that does, I just don't know if it restores to a different device correctly
Search for sms backup+
Backups to gmail account just like email.
But then again you are on cm10. That might make a difference.

Use sms backup+ for texts and as for apps and such drag your titanium backup file over and restore
It will work. Titanium backup. But besure to restore asap. It will disorient the order or wipe the newer stuff. I brought my stuff from my samsung infuse. The note 2 and s3 are damn near the same phone software wise. Especially if you go aosp to aosp.
You can cloud the titanium backup via dropbox. But its a bit weird. Id just save it to the sdcard and swap.

Q. Apps backup and restore

Just wondering if i create a backup of my apps (whats app, games etc) and then restore them after installing any custom rom, do i need to re-register them?
Like for whats app, do i need to register it again? Asking this question because i used a number which was 'accidentally' transferred to someone else by vodafone and yet my what's app works fine right now.

You cant restore apps from a unrooted phone. You need root. You can it do with titanium backup.

For non-rooted apk backup.
"Appmonster" is the one i am using now. It only will backup your added stuff easily. Different programs have different mechanisms for licencing, so there are some that certannly will have to re-connect with the store or something before they will be the paid version. Others that it is a part added securely, and one (piece of crap) wanted to licence verify every day. Appmonster does not backup extra external data stuff, So i do that manually, and again it might still have to connect to finish. or check licence.
there are 2 others that do the simple backup installed apps to apk packages, both worked (unrooted) for what you can do unrooted, i just happen to be using appmonster because it was simple, and aimable to a folder. Some paid programs are not able to be backed up with it, some secured stuff .
Try Helium too. Need to hook up to a PC for it to work though. Works with uprooted.
