So I have been putting off asking this question and have searched everywhere.
I am currently running a Rooted 2.1 eris with the Fresh 2.1.1 rom on it and absolutely love it. I was just proud of myself for doing this......took following a few different sets of instructions get to the point that I could even load Fresh but eventually got it.
I started over and found and reloaded all the apps I had downloaded before from the market. My question is with all the "Recovery Images" and NAND backup talk (I have both) is there a way for me to have skipped downloading each app again once I Flashed the new rom? I would like to play with a few other roms but don't want to have to find and reload every app again from the market.
Thanks in advance to everyone on these forums. I learn something enw everyday! Wish I had the patience and knowledge to create my own ROM.
when they (ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle) get it fixed, you can use this.
until then there are some adb commands, lets see...
to backup apps
mkdir /sdcard/appbackup/
cp /data/app/* /sdcard/appbackup/
to restore apps
cp /sdcard/appbackup/* /data/app/
reboot phone
I use titanium backup. The donate version will restore all of your apps automatically.

Ok, so I wanna start trying a lot of different roms, but didn't wanna keep losing all of my apps/settings, how exactly do i do that? someone told me to use Titanium Backup, and i got it, but am not quite sure how to use it... -.-; lol
There is a backup guide in my sig.
To be honest you'll learn to live without most of the settings backups you make but the app backups are useful. If you're going from rom to rom the settings will often not work - for example 2.1 backups won't work on 2.2. Sense UI backups wont work on Vanilla. 1.5 backups are a no go on 2.1 or 2.2 etc...
well google saves my contacts for me, but is there anyway to get around having to re-install all my apps?
Yes, use bulk backup of installed user apps in titanium, then restore them on new rom.
Donate version means no need to manually allow each app to get installed.
it works

Is there an app, that i can use to download a list of apps from the market. Like a text file with apps, trigger then the market and download all the apps in the text file, to save time.
Are you wanting this so you can install all apps at once after you wipe or install a new rom?
Use Appbrain.

Yes you are right.I know i can use titantium backup. But i could use it only when i have all aps installed.
If i don't have the apps, i have to choose and download it, one by one. You know what i mean ? It would be easier, if i have a list of apps that this "app" download all and install it for me.

Hmm...
You know if you use Titanium Backup you can restore all apps to the rom you are running at that point in time. I backed up all of my apps just now on CM Nightly #177, wiped all data, flashed a Sense rom, and the restored all of my apps back with a batch restore. I may be misunderstanding your post, and please forgive me if I am, but this works for me.
Also, I could point you in the direction of a tool where you could create your own update.zip. The tool allows you to create a zip containing all of the apps you use and then flash it after a you install a new rom.
Hope this helps. Forgive me if I misunderstood.

1.) I didn't know it was possible to do a batch restore?!
I've gotta look into that.
It would be a time-saver!
2.) Would you share that information? I have the same apps that I restore with every new ROM flash.
Would this only restore the apk? or apk + data, like Titanium does?!

I can't remember if the the batch restore is part of the paid version or not. I think you can batch restore in the free version but it isn't as automated. It is still a lot quicker than doing them one by one though.
Just open TB > Menu > Batch > Select the appropriate method
Here is the thread for for the tool I was talking about. regaw_leinad created it. Not sure about being able to restore app+data but off the top of my head I don't think you can.
Hope this helps!
So I have a custom ROM uploaded on my x10 but I see some others I would like to try. I have Titanium Backup but I am having trouble with it. When I switch the the new ROM will it keep all my apps or will it just keep the .apk so I can install them all again? I have a lot of apps so if there is a way it will keep them all installed as well as contacts that would be awesome. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
Use xrecovery to backup and restore and everything will stay the same.
I just tried that and noticed it leaves it just where i left off, awesome but now I am wondering if I install a new ROM will all my apps/data still be installed?
They will be wiped... but when you reflash your backup, they will be back...

I assume what you want to do is flash a different ROM then re-install all your apps + data within that new ROM?? Titanium will easily allow you to do this, just click menu>batch>backup all user apps + system data. That will allow you to restore all your apps and data by running the batch restore after booting in the new ROM. Once you do that and verify your apps are working etc, I recommend backing up with xrecovery because that makes switching between ROMs a lot easier.
Hopefully that helps you out.

Be cautious though some apps will crash when restored from one Rom to another to be sure restore one at time, or just install the app I used my back up root free from market

ok... i'm a pretty smart windows guy. BUT this is my first smart phone which translates to "i'M A DANG NOOB".
so i rooted my phone. started to download apps. and now want to try Das BAMF ROM.
how do is save the apps that i have already downloaded and installed in the stock ROM so that i may apply them to the DasBAMF?
thanks
mark
geeze i feel soo dumb aaargh!
I used Astro to save my apps before i changed my rom- menu, tools, app manager/backup select that apps you want to back up and done.
TitaniumBackup is the way to go. Also, install Clockwork Recovery. Do a nandroid backup before installing a new rom.
Definitely just pay for titanium backup pro and use that. After flashing a Rom just skip setup, open titanium backup and restore everything then restart the phone .
Batch scripts are under backup / restore tabs menu.

I use(d) Titanium Backup Free. In this version you have to confirm every app while restoring. So if u often flash roms, the paid version is a wirthwile investment.

I'm using the PKMN Rom right now. When a new version comes out, I would like for it to auto-download the apps from the play store that I used to have. Is there something I have to change in the new rom to do that? A build.prop edit? Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup is your friend.
I came across a file
In the Rom zip try deleting sq-lopt
It's in /system/ect/init.d/
This would require a reflash tho
Joel could correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah, I have TiBu. But, it'd be nice if it auto-downloads after registering my g-account. Just wondering if it was a little mod I could do myself. That's all.

Thanks SCP! I will try this on the next PKMN update.
I've never gotten my Rezound to restore its apps or its wifi networks. I've also noticed that after a wipe, during the setup process, its asks you if you want to keep your device's networks and settings backed up with Google, but does not give you the option to restore your phone from Google like my Eris and my Transformers do... Has HTC just omitted this functionality??
Gingerbread did that for me but not ics. But I don't mind. Don't like it to auto download anyway.

I don't really think it's a good idea to restore from TB.
Although I paid for TB last year, I don't even bother installing it anymore.
When I flash a new rom I find it is MUCH better to reinstall an app from an APk than to restore it. I now use AppMonster Pro to save the APK from all the apps i use to a folder on my card and then clean install them on the new rom.....
The only times I have had it auto download was by signing into google during setup wizard.

Hm, I had a totally different experience. I had about 220 user apps installed. I did a batch backup with Ti Backup, and then a batch restore with data. I think there were seriously one or two apps that I had trouble with. I just wiped the data on those apps and set them up manually.
I guess I don't really see what the fuss is. Now I tend to just install apps from the Market so I get the latest version, and restore data on the few apps that I require lengthy setup.
I also tend to keep archives of my Ti Backup folders, because there are some times I need to go back to an old version of an app because of some crappy update.
I've done batch restore with data with Ti Backup with 200+ apps multiple times with virtually no issues. Some examples of apps I try to install clean are LBE Privacy Guard and Busybox Installer.
Maybe people are restoring system apps?
I always restore lots of different data and apps with tb and have no problem... Just don't restore something in red on system apps lol
