All your apps are backed up with your gmail and you could use titanium backup and/or my backup to backup everything.

[Q] Titanium Backup

I use Titanium Backup to back up all the download apps and restore them after I flash a new ROM. Is it okay if I use TB to back up and restore system settings, call logs and SMS?

do not backup & restore system files.

Im always iffy when it comes to system data. You probably won't get an issue if its just sms and call logs but you might want to consider backing it up with an app

Which program do you use to sync your apps?

Planning to do a factory reset and was wondering which program is best to sync my apps and its layout? I just dont want to redo my phones layout again.

Titanium backup or rom toolbox pro. Both work good.

Both of those required rooting my phone?

Sorry, if your not rooted then maybe try carbon backup. It has a way to backup apps plus data without root. Otherwise to backup the apps data too I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted.

Before I rooted I used my backup pro (but the free one works too) and I would back up apps and data and then install the app again after flash and everything would go back the way it was.

ROM Toolbox Pro backup data/app

Sup,
I have the latest version and I just can't figure out how to backup my data with my apps... With the older versions it would give me the option, now its just a generic backup... When I went from 4.2.2 to 4.3 just my apps were backed up... Any help is appreciated! Thanks

I think if you enable root in the settings it will backup data with the app automatically. Some other options are es3 file explorer which can also do app + data or nandroid manager which can restore apps+data from a nandroid backup.

Yep, it backs up app data automatically. If you go to App Manager > Batch Operations > Backup, you'll see you can redo backups for new data. I do that every once in awhile.

I've had thus issue since 4.3 too. I choose to backup app+data, then when I restore I only get the app restored no data, tried several times.

Restore text messages?

When I was on 4.1.2 I backed up my messages using titanium backup and through the messaging app. Now on 4.3 I can't seem to restore my messages. Titanium backup says it has restored it but it doesn't do anything and there is no option in the messaging app to restore messages or at least none that I can see. SMS backup and restore from the play store doesn't work either.
I have an xml file and titanium backup file.
Any advice ?
