Hey guys ,
Title says it. I just need to know what the HTC Backup app actually backs up ? The one thats in the settings menu. Does it include app Data Or the apps themselves ?

If you use the backup on the phone it back's up everything apps call sms home screen and so on
Good question op.
So does it backup all apps data or only those that have been coded to take advantage of Google's app data backup options for instance.
I may have to do a nandroid and reset to see what happens.

For anyone who is interested.
I just installed viper and restored my phone from the HTC Backup .
It restored settings, messages , contacts , home screens, folders, and also downloaded apps . However my app data were all gone . I had to set up every app from scratch again .

Titanium Backup does this. You can backup/restore apps & settings. Also, you can extract the .apk files and copy them to your sd card.

You Can Also Try AppMonster!

I'll second the Titanium Backup recommendation, makes it easy to get your apps back where they were after your flash a new ROM or wipe. It's a must have app for any Android phone IMO and is good enough to be a sole reason for rooting (I rooted my mom's OG Droid just so she could use TB)
Is there a auto install for titanium? Instead if running batch and clicking install for every app?

The paid version doesn't require you to click install for every app (it's a true batch operation).
Do i need the premium key??

make sure that your data and contacts are syncing with google, you can do that by menu>settings>accounts>autosync
Hi,
I want to know if there is any way of backing up PingChat conversations as I am going to Factory Reset my phone an I don't want to lose my stack of important convos. I had asked the developers (Enflick) and they had said such feature is unavailable but may be included in future updates. Which I can't wait that long as my phone is messed up.
Where are the PingChat files saved on the device if there are any?
Is there any app thay can back it up on SD?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
Which widgit backs up just the apps I've installed with their data? (such as game progress)
Backup all new versions seems to just backup the app & not with its data.
All user apps with data seems to backup things I don't want, such as dialer, fonts, and everything else.
I just want a widgit that does a backup of the apps I've installed with its saved data.
if you mean the extra data you download for the game i dont think that can be backed up by titanium unless you copy the folder from memory card and later put back there after restoring app from titanium
No, i mean the data as in 'saved games'
Which widgit does a backup of only the apps I've installed plus my game/app progress?

A combination of "back up all user apps + system data"; to clarify this bu's YOUR installed apps + their data not "system data" proper. Add to this a "filter by label". You'll have to set up labels in Ti BU if you haven't already, and add new apps to the appropriate label group. So theoretically you could have a combination of system and user apps backed up by filtering by label if you choose the correct b/u option.
I b/u manually, so I can't confirm your thought that the data isn't being backed up.
The one your mentioned seems to backup everything,
Bluetooth pairing , calender, calculator, accuweather etc
I wouldn't class these as 'user apps' as i didn't install them.
Pain. Lol

Setting up labels might work. I'll play around with it today and see how it works. Might make a not so manual guy outta me.

Just replicated what you noticed; it backed up data for apps that I didn't install from market, and that aren't classed as a user app, etc...
Applied a label that I already had made (user apps, the ones that I installed and chose to be labelled as such), it backed up only these apps. You could break it down by label further, Games, etc... It just requires you to not forget to assign an app to a label.
So, when installing a new app / game, I'd need to add this to the label?

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
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
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.

I've tried Google's app syncing, Helium, and MyBackup and none of them seem to transfer my app data! I have apps where I absolutely must have the data from my old phone but I can't seem to get anything to work. What is everyone else using?
Edit: I don't have root

Same problem trying to use HTC's Transfer App. Also, the HTC Sync Manager does not recognize the phone when connected to my desktop.
Spent a long time on the phone with an HTC CSR yesterday before I got cut off, but no success.
---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------
Just got off the phone with another HTC CSR on these two issues: 1.) HTC Transfer App doesn't work and 2.) HTC Sync Manager software doesn't recognize the 10.
He had no clue and said he would escalate the problems. He said I should hear back in 24-48 hrs.
The HTC Sync Manager doesn't handle apps anyway. I didn't have a problem syncing contacts, messages, etc. It's the apps that are giving my trouble.
U can use modded moto migrate app or just TB the legend of backing apps with data using this ull not need to download apps and register/verify apps detail again just transfer data from old phone
And using TBP u apps also get installed automatically

Nope. I'm holding off on root at least until I get the camera update via OTA.
If you ever used HTC Backup/Restore AND if you have a backup from not too long ago, you can use that to accellerate the start-up process. I restored an M9 backup from February on my new 10 and it did make for faster setup.
Have you ever used adb backup/restore?
