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!

hi there,
I just searched the forum and couldn't find something...
is it possible to backup my existing stock-swype (for example as .apk) so that I can use it later on with e.g. CM7...?
I know that there's a swype beta, but this has an expiration date and I would like to continue to use my stock swype e.g. in CM7...
thank you very much...
Use something like Titanium Backup (IF YOU ARE ROOTED) and you can backup System apps.

ah, okay... didn't know, that swype easily is just a system-app. but that's nice.
so when I back it up via Titanium Backup, will I get an .apk, which I can use to install swype e.g. in CM7? will it work there?
If you back it up with Titanium you can restore it to any ROM you are using. Just restore the app and not the settings.
Other way is to go into system/app and copy the swype app and save it somewhere then you can install it by placing it in system/app of your new ROM and rebooting.

sounds promising! thank you!
On a side note titanium backup will most likely create a zip with your swipe apk in it if I remember correctly.

Getting Swype to work with some roms can be a pain in the arse. I recommend SlideIt from Market if you come across a rom which doesn't work with Swype easily. I've tested this with 4 different roms & it works perfectly with each, no dramas with install, no FC's. $6 well spent.

Why not the settings?
How do you generally know to restore with or without the settings?

PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
Yeah use Titanium Back Up as mentioned in the post above.
Once u open TB, on the top right of the screen u will see a tick within a box. Click on this. It will open Batch Backup/Restore options.
Click on Backup all user apps before flashing a new ROM.
once u have flashed a new rom, click on Restore missing apps with data.
Titanium backup
Ultimate Backup
App2Zip - You choose the apps you want and it puts them in a flashable zip on your SD card or internal storage. When you install your new ROM, just install the flashable zip and you have your apps back. Only thing is, it doesn't save the app data with it
AppExtractor - You can extract and install apps AND/OR app data from CWM recovery backups. You can also restore WiFi info, Bluetooth settings, contacts n I think a couple of other things.
All in the market.

After installing new rom tb pro is also gone right?

Use batch backup to backup all user apps + system data. Also you'll need the tb apk for re installing after flashing

Indeed, just click on 'Back up' to back up your apps and their data, but only on your own user apps, never system apps. After flashing, install TB from the Play Store and click 'Restore'.

There is no need to backup your contacts, they are automatically backed up by your google account. As soon as you sign in on your new rom it will sync your contacts for you.
If you want to backup your apps you should just use the batch icon in top right and then choose the section for backup of user apps and it will backup your apps and appdata.
On your new simply re-install TB and then use restore option. If it doesnt find your backup location/show backups in batch you will need to go to preferences and choose backup folder location again.
To do all this silently (not click install on each app) you will need to be rooted and have pro version.
PS. This is not a galaxy s2 topic. These types of topics belong in the general/android section as its not device specific.

...there are several ways to do that..
apps
- through tb..normal backup->restore..update.zip...your choice..
- or any other b&r app
contacts
- sync via google
- import/export trough app (.vcf vcard)
- through tb..backup&restore Contacts data then reboot
[Kontakte 4.1.2-eng.root...]
& optional , cause i don´t know atm if needed..[Kontakte-Speicher 4.1.2-eng.root...]
cwm-backup to be save :angel:
yes..at the new rom you will have to install tb first in order to use it.
dowload the apk from authors website to your external sdcard
.u could do.
dowload titanium-backup-apk to your phone..
sync your contacts with google..batch-backup all inc sys apps+data..
make a cwm-backup..copy cwm & titanium backup folders to a safe place..
do your rom-update
do the appropriate settings and install tb..restore what you need and have fun :victory:
Or if you've bought titanium backup you could restore it from store after installation

Allright thanks everybody, it worked
Hi everyone. I'm about to flash a ROM and see that TiBu has the ability create an update.zip file to make restoring much faster. I have a concern with this though. Usually when you create a backup you only want to create one with User Apps only. If anything you may make one with User Apps + System data but just not restore the system data because it can mess with the ROM. When you create the update.zip file and flash it in, doesn't it restore all the System Data too, messing things up?

The update.zip (I always rename it to apps.zip) is made however you back up your apps, so it can be with or without data, it's up to you. I usually make mine without data.

So when you originally backup you choose "User Apps" only, not "apps + data," correct?
Also, what's the deal with creating an update.zip for installing TiBu in recovery mode?

Correct, just select user apps.
Creating the .zip is just an easy to get all your apps back. Just flash it in recovery. Takes less time than downloading tibu from the app store then running a restore.

No, just the one zip, TiBu should be in the backup you made.

Interesting. Thanks a lot for your help.
I just tried to create an 'Update.zip' and it didn't create the zip. It only created a .tar entry for every one of the apps I chose.
I have been searching for an answer for this question for a couple of days now but have yet to find one, so I decided to go ahead and make a thread for it. What I am wondering, is how to create a backup of all my user data, apps, and app data that I can restore on different roms? I am currently stock rooted, however I have downloaded and wish to flash ARHD Rom, but I don't want to have to re install everything from scratch I just want to be able to click "restore" and have all my apps and data back.
Any Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys.

Because you are not rooted go this route. You do not require root.
1. Use the Helium app and copy the folder it creates onto your computer, it's called "CARBON." This will copy all apps and app data.
2. Use HTC Backup from the app store and backup everything onto dropbox. This will also backup your apps + data. It will be on a cloud storage so no need to push anything to anywhere.
3. Go into your SMS and hit the menu button. Backup all user text messaging. Copy to computer.
now you can report everything to anything.
After you are on your new ROM.
1. Run HTC Backup (comes with rom) and restore everything.
2. Use Helium to restore any missing apps.
3. Restore SMS.
Done.

Yes, you can flash a clean Rom then restore your data file from a previous backup. the only problem with that is that whatever problems you may have had before, may be present still. Otherwise, it doesn't hurt anything. In fact, both CWM and TWRP allow advanced restore where you can select portions of your back up to restore..one a time. In my opinion, it allows you to see, if a backup fails to restore, where exactly it is having trouble, be it in system, boot, data..etc. I literally just did this, restoring a data backup onto a clean Rom, and so far no issues. I understand what you mean by not wanting to set everything back up. System settings, widgets and app placements. You had the perfect setup and it took you forever to get it that way. Titanium backup and Rom Toolbox don't always restore these things like they claim to do.
Edit: I am finding the hard way with this phone, that unlike my old LG Mytouch, when you flash a firmware upgrade, non OTA push I mean, it doesn't stick to system. It's saved to data. So if you flash a data file from a backup with an older version, your back to that version. With my old phone, we could swap Roms after an update all day, and the baseband and firmware updates would stick every time.
