Has anyone experienced weird side effects using the 'Integrate updates of system apps into ROM' feature?
It's not a good idea to reinstall system apps, especially if you are running a custom ROM or have recently updated. The apps will most likely not be compatible.

Hey XDA,
I was hearing stuff about moving from ICS to JB needing to be a clean move, and that you shouldn't restore any data from ICS over to JB, cause it'll cause problems.
I do want to backup my app data, like my game saves and what not-- over to JB when I decide to upgrade.
Are there any tips or tricks to avoid messing up my JB ROM while being able to backup and restore my data from ICS to JB?
Thanks in advance,
-J
Bump ;3
Not sure really. If the apps themselves are updated to the latest version they should be fine to restore through tibu. You can always nandroid your both ICS with your apps, or JB before you try tibu, that way when you try tibu you'll be able to revert back easily if it does in fact screw anything up. Worth a shot of trial and error, though I believe you should be OK so long as you don't do system apps.

Apps in the /system/app folder.

Back on my Atrix I dirty flashed JB right on top of ICS and nothing bad happened. So I'm assuming carrying over user app data won't cause big problems.
Is there any app to back up my apps and restore to the way I had it on the home screen. For when I update or change a ROM.
Thanks.

You can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox to back up not only the apps you have installed, but also their data as well. It will save your backups to your SD card, so when you update your system memory, your backups will be safe. All that is needed is your device must be rooted to use either.

I think he was asking about restoring not only the apps but also the app icon onto the exact same place in the home screen. If that's your question...I don't think there is something like that, but it would be nice.
use a third party launcher, most of them have backup and restore options

Have been thinking recently of using the option within Titanium Backup to convert some of my apps to system apps as I have quite a bit of spare space there.
Can anyone shed any light onto the pros and cons of doing so and if any apps should not be moved to the system!!!

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.

No, you don't need to re register again.

Okay. Then can you help me in a good backup and restore app for unrooted LG GP

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.

Hi Guys
i wanted to ask you , now that i want to remove the unneeded samsung bloatware , is all i need to do is to root the device, and then just go app by app and remove it? does the rooting remove the protection on removing these apps?

Can anyone answer that pls

I'm not sure about doing it that way. I used titanium backup app to get rid of mine.

Titanium is what I would recommend as well (after root). You can try freezing the unwanted apps first, to make sure it doesn't adversely affect anything else. Then when you are convinced the apps are okay to remove, uninstall using Titanium.
