Personally I use Google for email/calendar/contacts so there is always a backup.
That said I also bought My Backup Pro which is superb and not that expensive.

Kies
Titanium Pro
Google

You can also try the MyBackup app..

Will try MyBackup. Thanks.

GoContacts is a free app and allows export/import/backup of contacts.. it's pretty decent. Although Titanium Backup can do it all

[Q] What do you guys do to your data and apps when installing new ROMs?

Hi guys,
How do you ensure smooth replacement of apps, data (contacts, call logs, messages, home screen etc) when you have to wipe data in order to try new ROMs?
I have tried using Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro; but found that it was cumbersome and also some apps were missing and some of my contacts had duplicated onto Gmail?
What technique do you follow when trying out new ROMs?

Thanks, guys.
So can you get your phone back to the customized routine self (with merged contacts of fb and twitter to gmail contacts & your customized homescreen settings and all) in a jiffy using Titanium Backup or any other technique for it?

Best backup app

Hey guys. Witch app does an automatic backup and restore of all my contacts and apps without me having to do it one by one?
Tks in advance

Titanium Pro for apps. You should be able to export your contacts to your external SD card (or SIM) from the contacts app included with whatever rom you're using.
I Use Mybackup Pro for all my SMS, MMS, call log. For contacts they are all stored with google overlords. Apps i use Titaniumbackup
For Contacts I just let it sync in Google's cloud. It syncs automatically and is fast.
For apps, Titanium Pro Backup
For ROM, nandroid backup in CWM recovery (Y)
You can do everything with a google account. Go to privacy and backup everything in settings. It auto installs from market. Pretty good.except sms
I agree with the majority of the above - Titanium (pro) for apps and Google for contacts.
Since the poster above mentioned SMS, I'll take this opportunity to push the BRILLIANT SMS Backup+. It creates a backup of all your SMS (stored and automatically when new ones come in) and saves them in a folder (label) in your gmail account. You can also restore them whenever you need, which is perfect for flashaholics.
Get. It. Now.

[Q]Any way to transfer data to flashed rom?

Hi, I just rooted my HTC Inspire. Is there any way that I can transfer all my data (contacts, apps, app data, texts etc.) to a flashed rom? For example if I wanted to clash MIUI, it deletes ALL of the data. Thanks!

mybackuppro available on the market. I'm not sure exactly everything it backs up, but you can look into it.
Titanium Backup should make the job too.
For the texts I use SMS Backup & Restore, wich is very handy and efficient!
And for your contacts : Aren't they automatically synchronized with your google account ?

try my backup root from play store
Get to grips with TitaniumBackup, essential app for rooting and flashing custom roms. It'll backup and restore all your messages, wifi data, call logs (a bit temperamental though with call logs) and bookmarks etc. Very quick aswel.
I'd recommend syncing contact and calendar information with your Google account though and not restoring those with backups.
Also consider mybackup pro, for backing up SMS and logs.

I am now also using Titanium Backup Pro it is amazing and recover all user apps or even system data ... I wonder if there is any option to delete backuped system data and leave only apps ...
I use mybackup pro and it backs up everything, apks, data, texts, pictures, everything.
It's a thing of beauty.

alternatives to titanium backup?

Hi,
it looks as if Titanium Backup is not supported anymore - or at least there is no way to request support, since their support forms stopped working and a mail to their email address listed on the playstore only gets you a canned reply pointing at the ... support forms.
So, what alternatives to TB are there? What i'd need is a full backup, full restore, and it should be able to sync backups into google drive or even better nextcloud.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
