Well I finally decided that I'm going to unlock my phone sometime this week because of all these roms I'm missing out on, but i have 1 obstacle keeping me from doing that. From my understanding when u unlock u factory reset without a backup of anything. I was wondering if there is a form of temp root that still works after the ota so o can use titanium backup before a factory reset. I can care less about settings and all that carp, I just want to backup my apps and settings. If anyone has an idea feel free to respond please!

I had some of the same concerns when I recently unlocked and rooted my Rez. I don't thnk there is any way to temp. root since the OTA, however, you might look at MyBackUp or App Backup. Both are backup programs that work without being rooted. After root, MyBackUp bought back in about 90% of my programs. There were several I had to go back to the Market to get. My settings were not saved but I think that is my fault. In MyBackUp you can choose to save both apps and/or data. I had just saved apps.
Goodluck! It is well worth doing.

Confused, are you trying to temp root or perm root?
I think he means that he wants to perm root but since he has to do a factory reset nd doesn't wanna loose all his data from apps then perm root nd get his data back correct me if I'm wrong

I tried using mybackup pro but none of the app data would restore =(
I am trying to transfer my game data from a defective rezound to a new one but both are OTA updated.
Did i miss something? Are we sure mybackup pro can backup/restore app data on the rezound?

I have MyBackup Pro and you can backup apps and data. I haven't used it for that before so I can't speak to how it restores but it did a great job of restoring my phone and home settings.
I'm running it on a rooted phone so I don't know if that changes the options or not.
I was in exactly the same boat and mybackup worked for some but not all apps. I looked all over, but if you already got the OTA installed then you don't have other options. Sorry man. There is no temp root after OTA due to fixes against zerg root exploit.

If you have Root access it will backup all Data/Settings for All applications.
If you have no root access, it will backup integrated apps data/settings.
darn it, well thanks for the closure at least
Ya thanks guys but I guess I'll just wait a few months before unlocking. Might get s-off before u no . I'll for sure unlock after ics though

As a lot of us do here we are constantly flashing new roms and what not that require fresh installs. I've been using Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data, which I love btw. The only thing is I have quite a few apps, around 120. Going one by one to restore them takes some time. Is there a way to auto install them without me having to press install on each one?

That is a feature of the paid version of Titanium Backup. When you send the developer a payment on pay pal, he will send you a file with a license key to unlock the pro features that you place on the root of your internal sd card. I highly recommend paying for it as it saves a lot of time and hassle.
Yep, Titanium backup. With the licensed version, it will restore all your apps and data/settings in a batch job with no user interaction.
I wish AppBrain would do this too.
Lastly, I just switched over from the HTC EVO. The Cyanomod ROM (CM6) has remote backups through Google, so it will install the apps automagically. I'm pretty sure this is a Froyo thing, but CM6 is the only ROM I know of that does the auto-download/install thing.
Ah ok yeah was planing on getting this since I flash a lot.

How do you like the vibrant compared to the evo? I had the evo for a week and liked it but I think the vibrant will have be the phone for me especially once cm6 is ported over

Could be IMO, but Titanium is 1000 X's better than My Backup Pro. Everything about Titanium is better, and the developer is amazing.
Unfortunately, I was one of the few that got left behind when VZW pulled the update. I really want to update, even with the VM bug and everything. I came across this guide on how to manually upgrade to GB but I noticed it said it completely wipes my phone. Now I know Backup Assistant saves my contacts, my music is on my SD card so I'm not too worried about that. I'm afraid I might lose app data suchas all the hours and HOURS I put into Angry Birds Rio to get 3 stars on every level. Can anyone help me find a way to fully save all of my app data before I manually upgrade? BTW I've never rooted and I'm on stock Froyo
Do you plan on rooting? If so use the Revolutionary method it works great and there are plenty of How To guides to step you through it. As far as backing up your Angry Birds, Titanium Backup works very well. However, you do need root access for that app to work. The free version will do what your looking for. The pro version adds a couple nice features if you are going to play around with some different ROMs.

I'm still fairly new to the root world. I don't know or have not read of any way to back up your apps reliably without root access. Titanium backup, and Mybackup Pro are the 2 most common apps used to make back ups. There might be more? Titanium requires root, where Mybackup claims to have some functionality without root access.
From mybackup pro's website:
Key facts about MyBackup Pro:
Works on non-root phones, as well as root phones.
Root phones have the ability to backup APK+Data and Market Links.
Titanium has a free version that you can use that will back up your apps and all of their data. The Pro version adds a couple nice features that are handy for people that flash roms and like to change stuff around often.
Without root access Mybackup only does:
Application install files (If phone has root access, this includes APK+Data and Market Links)
Contacts
Call log
Browser bookmarks
SMS (text messages)
MMS (attachments in messages)
System Settings
Home screens (including HTC Sense UI)
Alarms
Dictionary
Calendar
Music playlists
Integrated third party applications
Not really what you want. Since you would lose your angry birds data and spend hours trying to gain 3 stars again on the levels! If you flashed the new Ruu.
It boils down to what you are comfortable doing I guess. Rooting is not for everyone. If you do not want to root you are pretty much stuck waiting on vzw and htc to get their OTA fixed and pushed back out.
Rooting is easy with Revolutionary, but you do void your warranty and open the door to being able to delete important system files. Once you root most likely you will find it hard to resist the urge to flash and try out new roms to!

Could you link me to the guide you are referring to?
I think the easiest way is to just root it. Revolutionary method is pretty easy (I hear). I used the old school ADB method (which was nerve racking for me bc I am no Android guru). The Revolutionary method is a little harder to un-root though.
Are you opposed to rooting bc of the warranty issue? After you root than you can back up all your data. I don't know of a way to back up data wo root. Plus with root access you can flash some sweet roms.
If you will link me to the guide I will try to remember to get back to you with some more thoughts

Yeah, I don't really wanna root. I might have to try that out. But when you say:

Oh yeah. that file will most certainly wipe you out and you'll have to start all over. I still haven't found a solution for backing up wo out root. Sorry.
I'm pretty sure backing up the .apk part isn't a big deal, worst case you can just redownload that. You want the DATA part backed up. The apk is just the file format android uses to install software. Like .exe in windows. (I'm pretty sure at least.)
The post from android police you linked will definitely wipe everything. If you don't make a root accessible back up you will lose all of your app data.
I totally understand the warranty concern. I held out for as long as I could. I received the OTA to GB and was very unimpressed. After hoping for months that the update would be more than what it is, I took the leap into freedom of root and made my phone what I wanted it to be.
Sounds like you should check out some new backgrounds to keep you interested in your current setup.
thepolishguy - Don't worry about it bro. Thanks for trying to help. Left you a thanks
Stratejaket - That's Exactly how I was feeling. If this GB update fix doesn't come soon, I will definitely look into rooting. Lol I was getting bored with this thing lol. Also left you a thanks for trying to help. *runs to zedge for a new background*

Try System Tuner (free on the market)
adjust clock speed when the phone is on standby. You will see a significance in battery. Or you can try a different battery app. Explore your options.

highly recommend titanium backup on the market it's worth the price...you can get rid of bloatware with it too, and back up and and all programs and their data...
the person above is right, system tuner is a good program, but I don't know how it'll do with the stock kernel, if you downclock your phone you might start to see some lag...if you do decide to do that make sure you go to boot settings in system tuner and make sure set cpu on boot completion so everytime your phone restarts you don't have to reset the settings you put in system tuner..
honestly the best way to get a better battery life is don't install a lot of junk and you can also use the program juice defender...
install badass battery program and see what is sucking up the battery...
good luck

Hello,
Similar situation here. Rooted my Droid Razr Maxx today to remove the Verizon bloatware. I only did this because they where insisting I update their apps and give them more permissions and I didn't use them either.
I'm not looking to use a custom rom or anything, just wanted to remove those apps. I did use the backup option on each app prior to deleting it.
The Beginners guide suggests I add CWM. Is this really needed for my situation or should I get this setup as well? I won't be loading any roms and plan to stick with the default one. I am fine with it just wanted the bloatware to be gone.
I would've flashed a recovery first. Just because you can make a backup and reflash it just incase something goes wrong. Like removing something you shouldn't have. To each his own. But if the RZR Maxx is anything like the older Moto devices you can use RSD Lite to go back to completely stock. So since this is the HTC Amaze Forum I don't know if that option is available for the RZR. You can navigate yourself to those forums and ask over there.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

If you ask me, those apps that you have frozen are quite important to your phone. I have to go to work I am late so I'll try to respond in depth tomorrow when I get back.
I need to exchange my phone (shutting down randomly).
I really don't want to have to set everything up again. Any suggestions on the best way to back up an unrooted phone before I return it? Id prefer to NOT have to root, backup then unroot.
[edit] So far, I've moved all apps to the SD card, what else can I do?

I use SUPER MANAGER which doesn't require root and it will back up all your apps and some settings (but move the apps jack to the device first). Then when you get the new device just restore all the apps. Some settings won't move across but at least he tedious reinstall will be easier.
Super Manager has many other great features BTW.

I am looking for a backup and restore app that covers everything without the need to root the XZT. There is a built-in app that seems to have covered it but does it? I have just had to re-build my device and used the restore from the PC companion and it was awful. I've spent another day re-downloading and configuring settings and apps.
Is there an app that backs up and restores everything including the folders and icons on the home pages?

Is there a reason why you don't want to root it? Afaik you wont void your warranty unless you unlock your bootloader.
