I'm sure google will do its part but it only restores my contacts, calender, & gmail I believe. I usually use Titanium Backup to restore my apps+settings but it will not work since my 3D won't be rooted.
What's the best non rooted app that will backup and restore my apps+settings from my EVO to the EVO 3D?

honestly just bite the bullet and restore everything from the market and sdcard and set everything back up . to prevent troubles
Lets first think about rooting before moving the rooted files over lol.
waiting patiently for root to occur first.. then, load up all the apps and data FRESH.
U want a clean install, not a move.
yeah, guess you're right. forgot quite a few of my apps only work if rooted. not just TB. so other than manually writing down what apps I have installed, whats best to use to reinstall my apps (without their settings)

Use Titanium Backup on the Evo to "send data" ( list of all your apps) to your email. open it on the 3D. As a little reminder when market borks.

+1, I was going to sat the same, it can restore apps, app data or both, also miscellaneous data like SMS, mms, Calender, music play lists, bookmarks...etc... It works great, rooted or not....

AppBrain can help, you can create a list of apps and restore to your new phone.
Honestly, though, for a new install, the Android Market does a great job now of installing. Go to My Library (I believe) and you will have a list of your apps. Just click to install each one you want on your new phone. I found that if you queue up too many at once, you might get an error, but that was on my OG EVO, so it may have had to do with memory limitations more than the process. This doesn't give you a listing of currently installed, so if you have too many extra apps that you have removed from your previous phone, you might have a bit of sorting to do.
Iv e been playing with this method of reinstalling with my last few ROM changes and it works just about as well as TB or anything else (assuming you know what apps you're installing). I guess it's a little trickier if you have apps from different sources (Amazon, etc.)
I doubt hes very worried about re installing all his apps,thats fairly easy. logining into all the services/apps you use is the annoying part. as far as I know,only a rooted app can restore that type of data,which is unfortunate.

I'd be wary of letting any of the backup apps restore services, bluetooth pairing, etc. across devices. Might be okay, but if it's not, you'll probably have wasted a lot more time fixing it than doing it the sure way the first time.

No. Here is a link to the app in the market.

I'm really hoping we can get a soft root this weekend, perhaps by the folks over at unrEVOked who released the initial soft root for the OG EVO.

It only transfers contacts from the evo 4g.
MyBackup Pro transfers everything over, but I lost nearly all of my app settings. By the time we get root I'll already have all of my settings restored manually. Getting my saved game files from titanium will be nice though.
Wait, MyBackup won't restore app data? So how the hell will I be able to restore my Angry Birds progress?
I am using Samsung Dive, I just tried it and it found my phone, though it needed wifi. I like it, it of course works and I'd be happy to stick with it, but am just curious if there are any potentially better options? I'm hoping for something that would work with just a GPS signal, if that's possible. Happy to stick with Dive, though.
Also, for backup, I'm using my Samsung account and daily backup. I'm guessing this is enough, is there anything again more effective?
Please note I am using stock and have no interest in rooting. Thanks for any help!

Cerberus is by far the best anti theft app out there.
Find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus
Afaik, Dive also has GPS tracking.
Samsung backup only does your settings. I'm sure you have already synced up contacts and are saving new contacts in your google account, so that's taken care of.
The only remaining thing is your apps and you'll have to be rooted for that I'm afraid, either to do a Nandroid or Titanium backup.

I use SMS backup/restore for SMS, very simple.
If you get Google + or dropbox you can instantly upload photos you take.

I use Avast! Mobile for antivirus and theft protection. Does everything Cerebus does, plus antivirus, all for free.
If you are rooted, nothing beats Titanium backup. With a Dropbox or Box or Google Drive account, it will back up your files to the cloud.
Anyone else use Android Lost? Seems good, but hard to say until you really need it.

Thanks, just installed Cerberus, however the Device Admin rights seems quite scary. I'm guessing without that enabled the app can't really do its job?
So when you say Samsung backup only does my settings, what do you mean? The settings of the phone itself? (Display, sound, etc.).
Yes I have Google account syncing my contacts, calendar, etc.
For apps it doesn't seem a big deal, I'll just keep screenshots of my downloaded list if I had to wipe and reinstall. Particularly as I will not be rooting.

Yup, I use Dropbox and have a task in Astrid reminding me to upload all photos every couple days in case I forget
I just tried ultimate backup and backed up all my downloaded apps to the sd card, it seems to have worked? Is it a bs app or have I just backed everything up without root?
There is an option in dropbox to upload photos as soon as they are taken. No need to remind yourself
When I root i will need to try titanium.

Admin rights are only required for the app to become uninstallable. Everything else works without it.
Having some issues with rom I'm running, but also want to know for when I flash CM10 from sense rom. How can I keep my texts, email accounts synched, app data, or reinstall it after a factory reset type wipe?
Do I go into recovery and install what file? I didn't see data as an option in twrp, only system (for wiping anyways). What is the best way to do this? I'm currently dirty flashing everything, but that won't always be doable.
Specs: S-off, newest radios/firmware, stock/goodies rom. Ummm, twrp 2.2 I believe.
Use titanium backup to back up and restore apps and app data. Emails and contacts are synced with your Google account. It's not a good idea to backup and restore system apps and data. There are apps in the play store for backing up texts.

U know, I did that on my og EVO and hated restoring each app one by one. I have tb premium now though, so I can one click restore right? For some reason not all of my contacts restore with Google, so I don't trust it. Isn't chrome supposed to back up all your passwords and usernames for websites as well?
Sorry guys, haven't wiped data since og EVO. It really got me hating to flash New roms, turned into an all day event restoring and getting it running again.

I use ROM Toolbox Pro rather than Titanium. I have flashed and restored apps/data successfully with RTP, it's worth the price.

Have to look into that. What features make it better than titback, lol? I've seen it in playstore and even reading the reviews don't get too heavy into what's so great about it. I have pretty much all the other tools it has already like file manager, overclock, backup/restore apps.
I believe u. Just really want to know what makes it so good other than a lot of tools in one app.

Nice interface, easy to use.
Backup/restore of apps actually works (I had issues with Titanium)
build.prop editor is included
Ad blocker
You can manage apps (like Titanium) and freeze/uninstall/etc
It also has some ROM management tools that look pretty sweet, though I have not used them to date.
The developer is also easily accessible via email, and is responsive, so if you have issues you can contact him.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
I love Rom toolbox and its like 50 apps in 1

Sorry if this is a real simple question and I'm sure it is, I just can't seem to find the answer. When I flash a rom I use app2zip to restore my apps. Everyone always says "don't restore data!", they seem to push this point. The problem is I can't figure out how not to restore data, every time I restore an app or a bunch of apps through TWRP my data is restored as well. All my email accounts come back, my memo pad notes etc and I think this is what is giving me buggy performance with my new rom.
If someone could give me some direction on this I would really appreciate it. Again I apologize, as I'm sure this is the wrong place to post this but I can't post in very many places due to my low post count.
Thanks
Anyone?
It seems like from what I read app2zip doesn't back up data, only the apps. But I reinstalled my rom the other day and when I restored my apps all my old data came back as well including email accounts and emails, not to mention numerous issues causing my phone to freeze. I ended up starting from scratch and reinstalling every app separately which can take a while.
I'm running jedi mind trick X2 on a samsung galaxy S2x
Any help would be great. Thanks.

Use titanium backup...it gives you choices to restore app or app+data
Using XDA premium through A5
Okay, so I need to update my ROM (and kernel) to get my phone fixed up according to this thread.
My questions:
a) how do I backup my MS exchange emails?
b) how do I backup my contacts? (I always save them to my Google account so will it just update them once I put the new ROM on and it will sync automatically?)
c) Can I put the new CheckROM on my phone and then flash a new 'safe' kernel?
Thanks

Titanium Backup is a great app
Well, as far as what you're concerned with, you don't need TB. Just add the account after you flash your new rom and they should sync right back. At least ot applies to those emails and contacts you mentioned. Apps require a specialist backup app like TB. SMS can be backed up using SMS backup and restore.
And yes you can flash your rom and flash the kernel

Titanium Backup
As we all know TB is a great and powerful app for android users. It can restore all you apps and stuff with one click. Sounds nice doesn't it? Change Rom --> lost all Data and Settings go TB one click and baam back to normal. But i have to say it doesn't always do everything very clean and can mess up some stuff. I always like to install very clean so I format sd card and wipe everything before new roms and that prevents sooooo many unwanted issues but you loose all your data and have to start from scratch. I only use TB to backup app savedata from games which is awesome.
Summed up: TB is awesome but not perfect, you might run into issues.

Likewise, I've been using tb for years with no problems whatsoever.. Until last week.
I restored my backups as normal, but a couple of apps misbehaved.. push notifications didn't work, and Gmail wouldn't auto refresh.
Turns out the device id got screwed up. Tb offered to restore the old one, but that didn't work either. Took bloody hours to sort it out.
Generally though, tb is awesome!
