Does anyone know how i can save my internet bookmarks? I have to factory reset my phone but dont want to lose them

You can try Mybackup Root or Titanium Backup. You have to backup the Browser app and data...if I'm not mistaken.

Well that would've been helpful info in the beginning. The only other way is letting google save it. After you factory/data reset your device be sure to log into your google account during the setup. Dont skip the setup when it going through the prompts. It might save it like that. Other than that, I'm not sure what else you can do.

If I switch to a new ROM wipe my cache/data yaadaa yaadaa, then when I'mon the new ROM can I go back into CWM and go into advanced restore can I restore just my data will I get back all my apps and data and everything will be good? As long as my backup and new ROM are both EB01?

For just restoring Apps and the data when switching between roms, I recommend.....no, HIGHLY recommend Titanium Backup. Not only does this app backup apps and the data of the apps, it also backups the market cache, so on the market, the app would list as being installed. It's incredibly useful. It also allows you to uninstall system apps by the way.
I know that and that's not what I'm getting at, I don't want to get titainium backup pro and the regular titainium backup takes forever to restore because u have to hit install for every app and its very tidious sooooo, I came to the conclusion since its in my backup files why can't I just restore it from there because its just one click and no hassle... but I want to know if that works.
P.S. I have titainium... and mybackup root too...

It is tedious, but in my case worth it. I have not used MyBackup Root in app backups, but you can try.

It may have apps that are specific to the previous ROM. I've done it and it can work but if its a differnt ROM it can cause problems. try it and see.
Personally I'd save up the 6 bucks and buy Tibkup if you are going to flash ROMS Titanium Backup is going to be one (if not the one) most used application you will use. If you can't part with the 6 bucks get MyBackup Root I don't think it prompts you for restores but I could be wrong (I haven't' used it since I bought TB)

It doesn't always work. Titanium Pro is worth it if you're going to be flashing multiple ROMs. The time saved will equal much more than $6.

did i miss something? Batch Restore your app people....in the full licensed version, pay the money...it deserves it...phenominal app....only must have app i have come across since I've owned my original Droid....worked even when I switched to the Inc, and copied the backup folder over...(Apps+Data only, obviously no system stuff)
is that what you're getting at on post#3...pay the money and forget about worrying...I always wipe everything between roms, even updates to the one i'm running...then TiBU after flashing new rom...takes a couple minutes and I'm back up and running...even with Go Launcher, homescreens are backed up minus widgets
This post has nothing to do with TiBU at all, and its not the purpose, I just want to know if I can take the data from a backup and install it with my new rom?

It does have something to do with tibkup if you want to restore your data. You've been told basically NO to your OP and to use tibk. If you don't want to listen why ask?
I already know about tibu, loomi.g for an even easyer way thoo...

Which would be to BUY titanium Backup Pro or MyBackup Root
Other than that you can take a chance and restore /data or if your on 2.2 or higher let Google restore all your apps from the cloud but a lot of ROMs don't seem to auto restore.
Stop being cheap. It's worth it.

Hello!
Before I want to root or upgrade my phone, I want to know if there is any possibility so take backup of all applications installed, settings etc?
I have spent a whole day setting up the phone, and I dont want to do that again....
I miss something like acronis og norton ghost functionality.
Also, when I do a ROM upgrade, will I loose everything? applications and settings?
Get Titanium Backup from the Market. (I'd strongly recommend getting the pro version!)
You can backup all installed apps and associated data and then restore them all after a hard reset or ROM flash.
Titanium is a VERY good app that does a lot more than just backup and restore, so the small price for the pro version is definitely worth it. (I am in no way affiliated with Titanium Backup It's just proven invaluable to me on many occasions!)
I checked the titanium app and it seemed promising. But it only worked on rooted phones....
I was hoping not to root my phone, as Important afraid I will loose warranty

No root no backup .

You need root access in order to backup app data, so there's no way round it.
Ok I see. Thanx alot for the replies. I guess I just have to figure out how to root and take it from there.

I just joined the root game with the purchase of the Rezound so i never learned how to backup and restore things. i just installed titanium backup and kinda backed everything up, took the files off of the sd card and put them back on and restored them when i flashed a new rom.
Now i heard about this method were you create an update.zip folder to flash in recovery and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this?
I thought it only installed titanium but I dont know. I will say this I run my backups on a schedule every night at 2 am everyday. I use force redo of backups. Then I know I'm backed up. I also sync that to my dropbox.

Ding ding ding. Drop box works great for this purpose. Then, if your internal/ext. Storage gets erased, you will always have it at your disposal.

Just so you don't have regrets later, just get in the habit of only backing up the user apps. If you jump roms you could run into some issues restoring system apps. Done there, been that

May want to look into MyBackup root, if all you're interested in is app backup. I have found it to be a little faster and it's free version allows "silent" restoring of apps.
Quick question. I am going to flash a new ics rom soon and have done things like this before, but I always am required to wipe everything before I do it. How do I get everything back after this? I know titanium backup can help with some of that, but not all. I want to do this in the morning before class and still be able to use phone normally in class. How can I do this? Thanks

What kind of data?
With something like this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ext.recovery.control&hl=en
I agree, what kind of data? All contacts should be synced with google and you shouldn't restore system data between roms, it can cause problems. I use titanium backup for all apps/app data.

I use mybackup root.. no issues so far

Im currently on hyperdrive 7 and was looking to flash a different rom to try out, but neither rom toolbox pro or tibu will allow me to backup apps and data. I usually use rom toolbox pro, but when I try to backup app+data, it just starts failing every app. I tried tibu again just to see if the problem was rtp, but it will only restore the app without data. Most stuff I dont mind losing data on, but I have a few games and other things I dont want to start from scratch on. Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you successfully backed up and restored these before?
On rls6 I was able to restore everything and backup before moving to 7. When I got to 7, my apps would restore, but no data with them.

Check the backup/restore folder path. It may have changed.

My usual backup location is on my external sdcard, and it doesnt work there. I tried using internal too, and it failed as well. Typically, its set to extsdcard/app_manager but thats a no go.

Did you backup rls6 before install rls7,if you have a backup try to restore a backup.and maybe that fix your problem..

He already has the app.
Maybe make sure TiBU has SU access?
I did make a backup of rls6 when I flashed rls7, but have deleted it due to thinking everything was fully functional and trying to save space.
Also, I have titanium backup pro, purchased it a couple years ago but have found rtp to be more reliable. Both have superuser permissions.
Thank you all for your help, I think im just gonna have to bite the bullet and start from scratch again.

I love titanium backup for backing up my Apps and I use the nandroid in TWRP for backing up my complete ROM. when I screw up and get into a no boot problem, I can boot to TWRP and do a complete restore
