Hello
I just got my note 2, moving on from the Galaxy S2 running CM 10.1. I have not rooted my phone yet but tried us my backup pro. It worked except for none my apps have my old data, such as saved games. I had problems with this before with titanium pro. Has anyone tried google backup or any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Download the app on your new phone and sign in with the same account thats linked to the old phone

I do it with Titanium backup. It works fine. Apps are fairly easy to restore with data. Big games are much more troublesome. Their data are bigger and store in different areas so no so easily backed up.
If you haven't rooted yet, try Carbon. It doesn't require you to be rooted to backup apps and data.

Sorry for such a noob question but I've searched and can't find it? I'm upgrading from Captivate to a Galaxy s2. I've done a full back-up via titanium back-up on the captivate. When the S2 arrives, do I just restore it on that or will that not work between different model phones?
From my experience, it does not work properly. The apps reinstall, but the data on some apps does not transfer over. I had to start Stupid Zombies all over again, for example.
Thanks for that. I'll go to my plan b, write down the aps I have currently and just reload them via the market when the new phone arrives
The 75 apps I had on my Desire Z all restored fine onto my SGS2.
I also restored my call list/sms/mms with MyBackup Pro.
If you just want to make a list of your installed apps you can export a list with aTrackDog
I was also able to use all my backups from my desire and restore onto my sgs2 without any trouble.

If I could also ask something...
I had the SGS and now I have the SGS2...I made a backup of everything with titanium backup and after the restore an the new phone the memo app (Samsung notepad app) didn't return my notes which is VERY important to me...Is there a way to open and read my notes??

I suggest you try restoring user apps with data (letting alone system data).
If something goes wrong you can reinstall the specific application.
You can also restore user apps without data if you wish.

I would just reinstall apps no data.
There is also an app called Sharemyapps that you can use to send yourself or friends a list of your apps in email/text etc

Im using Titanium right now but wanted to know if there were any others out there that did the same that are worth checking out. I want to be able to backup my apps and the apps data and be able to restore them like Titanium.
Titanium is good but I find too many errors in the backups that it makes. I want to be able to restore apps with their data.
Any suggestions?

Rom toolbox pro. It's also got root explorer, icon changer, rebooter option, app manager, and a build.prop editor. It's got nearly everything you would need.
Ill try both. Thanks for the suggestions.

The problem with titanium back up is that its"too good". It backs up the data as you currently have it much like a nandroid back up. That's great if you don't switch ROMS, cause if you accidentally delete an app then you can restore it. A lot of new ROMS don't tolerate any data at all though so it kind of renders titanium back up use less. If you do use it you will get errors because of the data it restores. Your apps need a clean install when switching ROMS. I suggest. AppBackup off the market. Its free and makes a full copy of all your apps by pulling the apk from the system and saving it as a file on your external sd. You have to re install the apps but it leaves the data alone. Unfortunately you can't save your high score onpc angry birds while switching ROMS. At least ICS ROMS.

Titanium Backup has the option to restore app and data, app only, or data only so this shouldn't be an issue. I have ran AOKP since build 32, and have never had an issue restoring user app plus data from one build to the next. I can't speak to different Roms though.
My Backup Pro.
Been using it for Months.
Excellent Backup/Restore app.
look i have used them all and by far the best for the buck is rom toolbox pro it has it all with ultimate backup built in.it will automatically backup new app if u want it to so that way if u forget before switching roms ur still good to go plus all the bonus the toolbox has makes it in my opinion the best app on the market
Astro file manager does a good job. That is what I use, it backs it up and installs your apps.

My personal favorite is "APK Batch Installer Tool" hands down! It allows for multiple back-ups to your PC, saving space on your device. Save just the APK's or APK's with data. One of the things I like best is creating folders on my PC, indicating the ROM and version. So its a no brainer if i want to restore a favorite ROM with data I simply select the appropriate folder. A hidden feature is the ability right click and choose back-up/restore all. These functions can be performed wirelessly or by usb cable. Also you can "fix permissions". With a short learning curve, frequent updates, solid performance, its become my must have app. Don't forget to show the dev some love.
The problem with titanium is that i have to use classic installer and its a pain when u got 60 apps backed up. But I still think its the best backup app out there. As for the guy saying that its incompatible when switching roms there a workaround. All u have to do is uninstall and reinstall the troubled app then restore data separately. I ran into that problem from blue kuban 1034 to 1035.

Also titanium has more options than romtoolbox btw. Not trashing on romtoolbox its still the best utility knife but just the backup functions and options comparison I have to say titanium hands down.

So I've been using titanium backup now for about 3 years. Sometime between then and now Google has included a service that backs up your apps and app data for you, and restores them on your new or freshly wiped phone.
My question is does it really backup all your app data? I'm assuming it just re-downloads the apps from the play store and restores that apps data? And how often does android backup your apps data?
Some clarification on how this works would be great. Thanks.

Yeah want to know this too!
And how I'm able to delete these apps, because every time I accidentally leave the box ticked, it downloads apps I don't use... Like freakbook, and its pretty annoying, that's why I don't use it anymore...

The app have to support application backup for it to work.

I, too, would love to learn more about managing what's stored in Google from our phones. I've been on Android for years now, and can't imagine how much crap is up there that would be worthless today. Having an option to review your backed up apps and data with the ability of pruning would be wonderful.

A Google search has found this
you'll probably run into issues when switching roms, if you're going to restore system data everytime.
So far I have settled for a Nandroid backup and mybackup from the market.
Titanium serves the purpose as well. Although I'm not much of a fan yet.

Titanium backup, only use it to backup and restore user apps though, use gapps an google playstore to restore system apps.

I want to start fresh after the kk update. I have a profile for me and my son. I looked into helium but it has iffy results judging by feedback I read. Are there any other options? I would like to avoid root for now but since I bought square trade warranty I suppose it's not a huge deal.
I back all my stuff using KIES. Backs up my apps, snotes, system settings, etc.

helium is working fine for me but you have to connect your device to a PC and runa script to be able to save or restore anything.
price for non rooted devices and probably the reason for low feadback.
I also use it to transfer apps from my phone to tablet.
Any one tried mybackup from the playstore?
Been thinking of testing it out, but never find the time....

I've had varying success with Helium. When I do a system reset and try to restore from Helium about 80% of the apps will restore with data and the rest just fails. There's no explanation of reasoning behind which ones fail. And, when restoring all of the apps the process stops when a restore fails. I have to then start restoring after the failed app.
If you are relying on getting that data back don't count on Helium.
So apart from all the great guy stuff do search on Google for full backup android using adb. No rooting needed.
I would give you the link but I am on my phone today...

I am using it for a long time, very fast with backup & restore sms`s & call logs, but toooooo slow restoring apps.
What about Ultimate backup ?
Any way to backup screen layout? Without root that is...
