Hi.
I come from an HTC Desire and I have some backups that I made with MyBackup Pro of some app's data. Relevant data like some games progresses, Libra's database, etc. MyBackupPro has an online backup and I backed the data online on the HTC Desire and tried to restore it in the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus recognizes the backup, shows the apps that are backed up, but when I press Restore it says that I should reboot the device and that the restore was OK almost instantaneously. Nothing is restored, no data is transferred to the phone..
Is there any other way to migrate this kind of data? Shouldn't MyBackup Pro be working on the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Maybe the app needs an update for ICS? Try to check their site to see if there's a reported problem, that's most likely the case.
Should have gone with Titanium Backup. I never had much luck with MyBackup anyway. Titanium is rock star on ICS.
The only problem Ive had so far has been restoring SMS with Pro.
Even with busy box installed its suuuper slow at the moment.
I sent them an email, I'll wait for an answer.. But I guess it is due to incompatibilities with ICS too..
AmesCell, I have always used MyBackup while using the Desire, never had a problem. Anyway, I still have the Desire and can use Titanium, but my Galaxy Nexus isn't rooted, and Titanium needs root.

Your signature says your Desire is rooted. Rooting the GN is easy. I go through 4 phones a year. I couldn't imagine doing that without Titanium.
Yes, the Desire is rooted, but I wasn't planning on rooting the GN so soon. I just got it 2 days ago and I want to see how this goes without any "hacks"..
I wouldn't have rooted the Desire in the first place if it wasn't for the lack of updates, etc... That's the main reason I bought the GN, having a more official support. Let's see, I'm almost sure that I'll root it in the future, but I don't want to do it right now.. I'll just wait for the Rerware answer to my email and see how it goes.
Thanks
Any update?
Rerware already answered, but no updates. Although I think I know what the problem is. I am only backup up app's Data, because they are already installed in the GN. But this is a "root only" feature and, for what I understood, non-rooted devices cannot restore this kind of backup, only APK backups. I asked this to the guys at Rerware to see if there is a workaround.
When I have news I'll post them here.

restoring your data/sms/backups is a "hack"
Hi,
Did you manage to find a solution to this problem? My phone is rooted and it still doesnt restore anything. Just like you said it finds the backup but then when you select the arrow next to apps to tick which ones you want to restore nothing is shown..
I need this to restore my game saves, spotify offline music etc
This happened to me with my sensation before. Somehow the backup got corrupted to I deleted it and started from scratch. Sorry to hear this happened to you it seriously sucks losing akk that stuff. What I've been doing is using from manager to restore my data partition and I've never had any issues SO FAR.
Enable advanced options, click restore and restore backup and only select the data.

I managed to solve the problem......
First my story:
I decided to install new ROM on my phone....i backed up apps and data with My Backup Pro (i bought the app)
My phone is rooted of course.
So i installed the new ROM and then i installed the My Backup Pro and started to restoring apps but i didn't get the app/data/app+data popup
and of course i couldn't restore my data from apps. i got really frustrated and browsed the web and couldn't find anything.
I started everything from the begining uninstalled all apps and figured it out that i did something wrong....and that is this that My Backup Pro doesn't work as it should without busy box...u have to install Busy Box before installing the My Backup Pro!
Follow this tutorial in order to restore your apps + data
Backing up apps on android (rooted) after installing new ROM
With My backup pro application
1. Backup apps + data
2. Backup dictionary
3. Backup all other data you want to
Install new ROM and then start restoring by this order
1. first install busy boxes i found there are two (BusyBox and BusyBox installer on the google store. install both)
2. install My backup pro and when asked to install additional options for rooted phone choose yes (now you should be able to choose between app/data/app+data to restore)
3. restore apps + data
4. thats it...enjoy!
It worked for me!! :good:
I thought I'd share this. Its probably known but I forgot about it until today when I had to return my Note 3 because of a defective touch screen. Go on the app store and download Helium. Install the small program on your computer linked in the apps description. Plug your phone into your computer and backup your apps. It backs up to your phone, not the computer but needs the computer app if you don't have root. It'll backup the app and the data without root. Restoring works great. It does not have the same issue as Titanium Backup right now. I prefer Titanium Backup, but right now, I want to keep my phone unrooted.
Anyone successfully get Helium to recognize the tab s 8.4 wifi (kit Kat). mine is not recognizing; pretty sure not a driver issue because adb works, and helium pc app recognize my Note 3.
on another thought, does anyone have other recommendation on app backup and restore without root? Thanks.

Both Google and Samsung provide native backup facilities already on the device.
I've been using Titanium Backup for years and I'm just now wondering if its functionalities can be achieved without root. I think Kies has an app backup option which I never tried. although I doubt it can be used to restore app backed up from another device (one of the features I need from TB).
Hello everyone!
I will get my OP3 next week and i would like transfer all my app data from my non rooted phone. I have tried helium in the past, but it didn't work properly and titanium will not work because i have no root.
Do you have any suggestions which software can do that?
Cheers
App backup local or pc doesnt work.It backsup only contacts and phone logs etc...
Any solution?
I tried MI PC suite but it wont recognise my phone and is pritty old (2015 version)...
Any other Pc app or smt?I need it because of bank app settings.
Thanks
I am pretty sure bank app setting is not transferable
Thanks.
I am also interested to know what is best backup to use these days in old days I use titanium backup that was when I root my phone. I haven't rooted any in years.
