What app is best to freeze apps with ? Thanks
I use Antek app root manager but I guess everyone will tell you to go with Titanium backup.
I like bloat freezer it works nice
Can you just delete them? Instead of freezeing them?

It is possible to delete them from what i understand... but from what else i understand, if you delete them, you'll need to put them back if you intend on doing any of the OTA updates in the future. So... yea.... po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
titanium backup....
the best bang for your buck on any android device
I use titanium backup and just delete them if for some reason you need them back just reflash a rom.

I used to use titanium backup pro up until about a week ago. Then I found Antek which does what I need it to do, all I ever really used titanium backup for,which is freeze bloatware. Never really used it to back up much stuff cause unlike most people I choose to reinstall everything fresh when I flash a ROM. It just feels newer. If all u wanna do is freeze bloatware, I would go with Antek.

Bloat freezer works well, there's also app quarantine and tB
TitaniumBackup pro is best for me

Don't delete.
It's a real PITA if you need to restore an app for any reason.
With the processing power, ram, and storage why would you need to delete?...

As for OP's question, Titanium Backup Pro by a landslide.
IMHO everyone should own this app since its like the "Swiss Army Knife" of Android apps...

System Tuner can freeze app and much more!
System Tuner now allows freezing/unfreezing apps very easily and much more features.

You should add after they have root as well seeing as i tried to install and it doesnt work on my phone(no root/unlock yet)
I normally just rename the apk in my system folder using root explorer. App.apk_fro

One of the many reason I prefer System Tuner Pro, much more features than just app management, and it's still being updated with new features very frequently.
And not the least, it's still cheaper than Titanium Backup Pro! It can actually replace both TBP and System Panel Pro for much much less bucks! And still offer more features than both apps united!
STP should be the 3rd app on any Android phone if not the first considering it offers many features without root requried!
The first 2 could well be ClockWorkMod and root for those wishing to have extended control over their phone.
I use bloat freezer and love it. It seems to be much more descriptive on the thing I'm freezing than TiB which usually reports com.something

I want to have all my apps data ( like game saves, login info etc) saved when I flash a ROM update. It's a huge pain to manually re-setup EVERYTHING. Apps and contacts come back which is awesome but all the apps and settings are all back to square one..

I'm sure you could use root explorer to save the configuration files for these apps and reload them later with root explorer as well... but... you might create glitches or issues with the new rom... (aka it will end up being slow or have FC s)

Titanium Backup will save all of your app data and settings...once your apps are backed up, flash a new rom, download titanium from the market and use it to restore all of your apps with their data

Just so u know there is a FREE version of titanium backup on the Android market...
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You don't have to pay for titanium backup (though in my opinion you should support Android developers). The free version does it too (unless something has changed since I last used the free version). You just can't do it in a batch which is much easier.

+1 for Titanium Backup....and the paid version is WELL worth the money.
My bad. Thanks.

Saw this thread and downloaded the free version of titanium backup to try it out before buying the pro version. but when i try to backup my apps and user data with a scheduled backup, it fc's before finishing the backup. Will this happen with the pro version as well? or is there any way to fix it?

I've never had issues backing up or restoring apps with Titanium free or paid version. Are you using other apps while it's creating the backup? Personally, I don't do scheduled backups. I only backup just before flashing a new rom so that I know everything is current.

well with the free version you cant do a batch backup, so i ran a scheduled backup from the schedule screen. i reinstalled the app, and it seemed to run fine. thanks for the response though, much appreciated.

Yes you can. You can do batch back ups and batch restores. The only differences I've noticed between the free and paid versions are:
Free - Only schedule one back up at a time. When running a batch restore, it stops on every app and you must approve to restore them. Special services disabled
Paid - Schedule unlimited backups. Restoring a batch does not require approving each app. Special features, such as Market Doctor, are enabled.

^ Bro - If you have to click on every app to restore, one by one... that isn't really "batch" mode, by definition
Get the paid version, well worth it, and nice to support the dev of such a well made and valuable app.
I wouldnt be caught flashing/changing roms without it !
For ppl that have trouble with Titanium Backup, try My Backup Pro. It sometimes works when TTB will not.
It's still a batch restore selection. And it restores app data as well. Only it prompts you on every app and asks if you'd like to install it.But yes, I agree, the paid version is a must.

on the pro version there is a new feature to backup apps to a flashable zip file, which should make the whole restore process super fast. You can just flash a new rom then flash your apps with data back and not have to do manual restoring.
I haven't tried it yet though.

None is better than Titanium Backup, IMO. Free and Pro version available.
Haven't heard anything about system tuner but Titanium Backup is awesome!

I was wondering if anyone has used it. I'm thinking about trying it out to freeze some of these useless apps running. I'm on unemployment and raising two kids by myself so I don't think buying an app I can justify lol. Tho the other question would be is freezing the crap apps does that fix the rebooting issue maybe?

I use system tuner all the time it is a good app. I like the widget. Works great to tweak a lot of things with one app. Haven't tried the back up or the freeze. I use T backup for that.

Backed up an app and froze one both work just fine. Just like T backup. Enjoy

I would recommend a full nandroid backup before deleting stuff, just in case.then a full titanium backup, in case you mess up with one app. Then start uninstalling. there are lists of what is safe to remove. Or you can freeze, then if everything is ok after a day or two of use, uninstall the app.

if i freeze an app is that the same as deleting?? of coarse i know if u delete you get the extra space..but other than that is there a real difference?
Freezing stops it from running, it's like uninstalling without losing the files. One you confirm the file isn't necessary for anything you use, then you can uninstall.

Is there a way to disable the security prompts when I want to install an application? When restoring backups with Titanium Backup, having to hit "Install->done" for a few dozen apps gets tiring very quickly.
I am using Bulletproof ROM.
That's how the free version of Titanium works tho. You can get rid of that by getting the donation (Pro) version
Sounds like its time to donate then =D, TY.

Hey, im looking for a way to backup JUST my apk's and there app data so i dont lose settings or game progress. i plan on doing a clean flash tomorrow
where are the apps/app data folders located?, i was planning on using a file manager to copy the folders to my pc unless theres a better way
i see a few spots where the apps apk's are at but dont know which one is the correct one
Thanks for anyone who can help :good:
(removed)
ES file manager has the option to backup apps and there data
i was trying to do it manually because i didnt want any system settings/Files from the data folder being backed up and restore upon the clean flash.
But i got it

I think I'd use titanium backup it's easy to restore only the app data. But I know Carbon works to do what you need also.
Thanks I'll look at them both :thumbup:

Have a look at AppMonster. I use AppMonster Pro and love it. And you can set it to back up apps as soon as you download them. I don't think it does the app data though, but just for apps I find it a lot easier on the eyes than Titanium. I use both so depending on what I need I know I'm covered.
Looked at all of them and carbon seems to be the best for my use :thumbup:
