Root sms/mms backup? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there are many SMS back up apps but honestly they all suck. Is there a root SMS backup app out there? Or at least one that is really fast?

You need to Freeze the App first and then do the Restore of the Data.

Just use SMS backup and restore, I use it everytime I flash a rom
I need to stop unintentionally stealing peoples sigs

Cheers mate. I use Titanium and had the same issue with the default messenger not seeing the restore but once I installed a third party messenger app both could see them. I will keep this in mind for future flashing.

How to backup touchwiz folders and icons

Hello guys! I've been formatting my phone more frequently as of lately as I've been trying roms, and I'd like to know is there a way to backup the icon order or folders or anything like that? It's kind of a pain putting all my icons back in order and such every time! I'm not rooted. Is there a way? Thanks
Some launchers have the ability to save the layout, launcher pro and adw come to mind, doubt the stock one can.

Yes I did read your first post! Indeed you said you are not rooted, But,.... you didn't asked for any way without root did you? You just asked and I provided an answer, one you would of found of you had actually searched?
Just got to be a little clearer to exactly what you need, so Users wishing to help don't waste their time
Cheers

You have to root if you wanna use Titanium Backup
I think other app or other solution you still need to root cause you have to mass with system app(touchwiz) so you need root.

What is a good back up app besides TiBu?

I just need something that does batch back ups, and relatively fast.
rom toolbox
you can use the app manager and root browser parts, just careful with the other options, you can mess up rom and have to sbf

You can't use TiBu to backup CM7/Blur apps and restore them to CM9.
.... You will get the same results using any restore program to go from gb to ics... Has nothing to do with tibu but the fact that most apps are a bit diff on ics

So I can't restore any of my apps to CM9 in any way?
From my understanding, apps can be backed up and restored with no issues. They are just apps you will be downloading again from the Play Store anyway. Your system apps though, dont try. Use titanium backup to backup your USER apps and their data and thats it. No system data or system apps or anything else. When you get CM9 installed, they should restore with no problem.

Have you used CM9 yet? I want to be sure.

I'm on cm9 now. I don't remember if I restored from TiBu after switching or not. But the worst that will happen is it will give you and error or it will install but not open. But I really don't think you will have problems. Just don't mess with the system settings and system apps.
If you're worried about losing something, just do a nandroid backup of your ROM before doing anything. Then if something goes wrong, restore the nandroid.
I haven't had a single error restoring apps in cm9 using TiBu. I never restore system stuff anyway but I can see where it would cause problems with the different framework.
Is everyone on CM9 for the X2 liking it so far? I was CM9 for the X but my X crapped out on me and Verizon is sending me a X2 as replacement. I understand the cam corder still isn't working but has anyone tried using LG Camera for the cam corder? It worked for me on the X with CM9.

I have used App Backup and Restore before but found that in flashing ROMs it is best to just re-install via Google or nandroid back.

Removing apks

I used root explorer to remove Twitter and friend steam and facebook from system-app but yet they are still in the app drawer and I can sign in as if I've done nothing. If anyone can help I want those things completely removed.

There are 2 twitter apks and 3 friendstream apks that need to be deleted. But again using rom cleaner it wipes those out for me
But default rom cleaner script doesnt remove apps like facebook or twitter or google movies and stuff.
are you referring to use a edited user txt file to remove em .
isnt there any update txt file somewhere which i can use
I flash ROM's all the time and it's a pain to open the zip and remove apps you don't want. Or sometimes you do an update to an existing ROM and just forget.
Here's an app I've been using for a couple of years, very simple and lightweight, will even backup the app before removing. I posted it in the apps section, but here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939056&highlight=stock+app+removal

Best tool for backing up and restoring user apps?

What do you guys recommend for someone who likes to flash roms frequently for backing up and restoring user apps? I have titanium backup with option to backup user and system apps. Is it advisable to restore system apps after flashing a new Rom? Its such a pain to flash new Rom than try to install the apps from the googleplay again etc.
So any suggestions?

Titanium Backup bro, get it from playstore

TB for sure. and its not a good idea to restore system apps when changing roms. it will more than likely break things.
RomCleaner and done
I have Rom cleaner, but it won't restore user apps unless they're installed. I've noticed that with some roms, singning into Google account automatically starts downloading apps from googleplay but it doesn't happen with all the roms.

Anything good for backing up bookmarks? I used bookmark sb on last phone including on jelly bean. On this phone wont work at all.
Aren't your bookmarks synced to your Google account?
Also, yes, TiBu does sync bookmarks.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Titanium back up. Number one rated app. No questions.

Carbon backup. Easy to use and simple. I use that in combination with MyBackup (for contacts and things like call logs) and it's a very easy solution.

one-click restore apks

Hi all! I change rom a lot of times in a month and every time I have to restore applications using Astro file manager or other similar apps, clicking "next, next, install" for every app is very boring, especially when you do it a lot of times. I'm looking for something whereby restore all my applications and data every time by one-click (or a.zip) but I don't want to pay 5$ for titanium backup, neither to crack it. Can you suggest me something?

Nandroid backups. You can choose to only restore the /data partition if you want.

Stop being a troll. Either buy titanium backup or write an app yourself.
