Hey guys!
I need expert advice about appz and app data backup. Well i want to try a custom rom but i don't want to install all my appz again and don't want to play all game levels again. So i really would like to know the simplest and effective way to backup data?
PS: I heard about Titanitm backup but i also heard that it can brick device. Please suggest me a simple way with steps.

You can do a backup app + app data with Titanium backup, find them on Market just search Titanium

But mate i read on some sites that wrong titanium restoration can brick my device. That's why i 'm kinda afraid of using it.
Dude, i do not understand how someone can brick a phone using titanium backup. Maybe that guy did not gain proper superuser access, resulting in a bricked phone? Also, I think a lot of users here in xda use this app everyday, and I don't think most of them get bricked as titanium is very easy to use
Hey don't worry I am using titanium backup since a year and am not getting any problem. Yeah I admit it that some times restored apps misbehave but that is all when you play with extreme level of setting believe me and also don't forget to press thanks button

Using Titanium Backup ever since I got my first Android.............
NEver had any kind of problems. and Titanium jst restores apps it won't do anything with system as long as you haven't asked it to. So no worries abt it.....
Thanks to all of you. Now i guess i'll be using titanium backup from now on.

may be u mean the rom manager.. yep, rom manager restoration will brick our ace.. but titanium back up is safe to use..
Titanium backup is a good app too.
Titanium backup would never brick your device. I have never heard anything like that. Its upto someone who should be smart and careful enough at the time of restoring. For example, if you try to restore the system apps and data based on CM7.1 ROM to something completely different ROM, its obvious you will get trouble. But, bricking the device completely? nah....

So what is the EXACT way to backup APK's and its data? The last time I used MyBackup Root, it caused force close on the restored APKs so I had to manually restore by replacing the data/data folders. Long story short, it was a lot of work and I want a backup way that will actually work. I only need to backup APK+Data. Stuff like application settings (ie GPS maps/locatons), game data, etc. So what is an app that will do this and will work for sure.
Thanks
I have always used titanium backup pro & never had a problem

Titanium backup
hey, before I update my xperia x10 to 2.3., I would like to know if I backup now on 2.1. with the free version of titanium backup (not buying the pro) my games + data will I be able to restore them later when I'm on 2.3.? Can I backup data with the free version at all?
OR, I can also do this with Backup and Restore program? I have B&R on my x10 (of course) and I backed everything up, then when I update to 2.3. and download that B&R for 2.3. will it restore the game data too? I don't wanna lose my progress, espcially angry birds :/
Thanks
i think u wont get B& R for 2.3 ..m not sure on this ..ya but u can backup your app using Titanium Backup !!and regarding data m not sure using Titanium Backup !!
Hope it works !!
Thank me if it clears u a bit !!
Edit:
It works bro it will backup eveyrthin ur app and the data ...,so u can go ahead with TB
Go ahead - that's how I keep my Angry Birds (all 3 versions) and a few other games going through all these ROM updates, custom ROM tests, etc...
I think I only had a problem once when I used Apps2SD or something like that. If you have never moved anything to your SD Card you are good.

there is a link on the xda forums for a 2.3. version of it, I am not aware of who developed it though, do you think it would be able to restore game saves? I'll try TB it when I root it

TB does not fully work
Hi,
My experience is that TB does not save all app data. I have a banking app with token configuration and TB can't save this token data. The only way is to use xRec backup and restore, but many times a custom, not stock-based ROM is not compatible to restoring an xRec backup.
So, when I change to a non-stock ROM I lose banking app's token data. Any help?
hey , ive notice that most of my apps are not on the list for when it comes to updating & ect ? is it because i got the market update or my phone don't like me ? Thanks
Are you running a custom ROM?
If so a simple build.prop edit might resolve this.
Also are you using Titanium backup? If so then run market doctor through titanium.
Yes I am using a custom rom and i havent used tituam backup but i have done a backup before with recovery.
SENT FROM THE BEST PHONE IN THE WORLD!
Only way I know is use titanium backup and run the market doctor. You have to buy the license to use that function I believe. I use it for backing up apps and app data only. Then I restore after I flash a new rom and everything goes back right where i had it before with the data. Saved games etc.

I tried restoring a backup of a stock ROM, but upon start up, it comes up with the tutorial setup to find it hasn't restored any of my applications, only my system settings. Can someone explain what the hell is happening?
What the hell are you doing.Restore how ???.

By restoring a backup in CWM. It just doesn't seem to restore any applications.
Can't say what your problem is there, but it might be worth investing in titanium backup pro (batch restore saves a lot of time and effort). Hope you get your apps back.

I use Titanium Backup already It's just easier using a nandroid back up for me. Didn't back up in Titanium Backup unfortunately but I managed to retrieve me apps by using App Extractor to extract the applications and contacts from the nandroid backup

If you only wanna restore your apps use advanced restore and select restore data

How did u make backup of the stock ROM?
Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?
