How to backup apps in sd card?

Hi all
I am running the stock rooted froyo rom...i am also s-off and have installed a2sd+ and almost all my apps have been automatically shifted there....
My question is, if i wanna flash a new rom how can i retain those apps and its state (like lvl 2 in a certain game)...is there a way to backup and restore?

Titanium backup in the Market, there's a free and a paid version.

Free version backs it up just as the paid one.
The main difference in the paid version I noticed is when restoring, you don't have to click anything when batch restoring.

With free version you have to backup and restore every App manual.
If you have 100+ Apps, it will take a long time....

Faster App Install After Flashing

You do not have to go to Google Play when reinstalling all your apps.
On a rooted phone, using a file explorer program, go to the data folder, then go to the app folder.
Here are all the apps that you have downloaded.
All you have to do is to make a folder on your SD card (or where ever you want) and copy all the files to that folder.
Now when you want to reinstall any or all apps, they are there to install.
I have all my apps reinstalled in about 10 minutes after flashing.

Or just use Titanium Backup. Will Auto re-install all your apps for you.

Yeah. Anyone who flashes uses titanium....it does all the work. So much faster than doing a manual install.

Make a nandroid before flashing the rom. Flash your new rom. Without leaving recovery, choose advance restore and restore Data form the nandroid you just made. Reboot.
You'll have your apps restored before ever booting your new rom.

Does titanium or nandroid restore your icon locations and layout?

Restoring a nandroid /data backup will, I don't think titanium can...could be wrong though. But if you do a nandroid restore, you need to be on the same type of Rom. Ie stock ics restoring a stock ics nandroid data file is fine, but if you are on asop and flash nandroid data from a stock backup it may cause issues.

If you use a 3rd party launcher, restoring it from TiBu will restore all settings in most cases.

Thanks. That makes sense. I spent a good hour laying out my icons and widgets that I did not want to go through that again but don't want to test it out to see what works.

If you use Titanium Backup, you can choose to save the layout for your TouchWiz-based home under system settings (shows up as TouchWiz), and if you restore that, it'll keep your layout, except perhaps for widget placement, if they're a third-party widget and not installed when you restore the TW settings. It'll definitely work on third-party launchers too, though.

[Q] How to backup app + data?

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.

Backup Questions!

I wanted to know that if I restore from a Nandroid backup, will the user profiles on my stock room with their respective apps also get restored? Also how Titanium backup be used to backup only specific apps for different user profiles.

Yes, the user profiles will get restored along with your apps as long as your nandroid was made after they were set up and the apps installed. The restore from your backup will be Exactly like it was at the point in time it was made. Have never had more than one profile on any of my devices so can't answer your TB question.
