Hey, im looking for a way to backup JUST my apk's and there app data so i dont lose settings or game progress. i plan on doing a clean flash tomorrow
where are the apps/app data folders located?, i was planning on using a file manager to copy the folders to my pc unless theres a better way
i see a few spots where the apps apk's are at but dont know which one is the correct one
Thanks for anyone who can help :good:
(removed)
ES file manager has the option to backup apps and there data
i was trying to do it manually because i didnt want any system settings/Files from the data folder being backed up and restore upon the clean flash.
But i got it

I think I'd use titanium backup it's easy to restore only the app data. But I know Carbon works to do what you need also.
Thanks I'll look at them both :thumbup:

Have a look at AppMonster. I use AppMonster Pro and love it. And you can set it to back up apps as soon as you download them. I don't think it does the app data though, but just for apps I find it a lot easier on the eyes than Titanium. I use both so depending on what I need I know I'm covered.
Looked at all of them and carbon seems to be the best for my use :thumbup:

I want to have all my apps data ( like game saves, login info etc) saved when I flash a ROM update. It's a huge pain to manually re-setup EVERYTHING. Apps and contacts come back which is awesome but all the apps and settings are all back to square one..

I'm sure you could use root explorer to save the configuration files for these apps and reload them later with root explorer as well... but... you might create glitches or issues with the new rom... (aka it will end up being slow or have FC s)

Titanium Backup will save all of your app data and settings...once your apps are backed up, flash a new rom, download titanium from the market and use it to restore all of your apps with their data

Just so u know there is a FREE version of titanium backup on the Android market...
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You don't have to pay for titanium backup (though in my opinion you should support Android developers). The free version does it too (unless something has changed since I last used the free version). You just can't do it in a batch which is much easier.

Saw this thread and downloaded the free version of titanium backup to try it out before buying the pro version. but when i try to backup my apps and user data with a scheduled backup, it fc's before finishing the backup. Will this happen with the pro version as well? or is there any way to fix it?

I've never had issues backing up or restoring apps with Titanium free or paid version. Are you using other apps while it's creating the backup? Personally, I don't do scheduled backups. I only backup just before flashing a new rom so that I know everything is current.

well with the free version you cant do a batch backup, so i ran a scheduled backup from the schedule screen. i reinstalled the app, and it seemed to run fine. thanks for the response though, much appreciated.

Yes you can. You can do batch back ups and batch restores. The only differences I've noticed between the free and paid versions are:
Free - Only schedule one back up at a time. When running a batch restore, it stops on every app and you must approve to restore them. Special services disabled
Paid - Schedule unlimited backups. Restoring a batch does not require approving each app. Special features, such as Market Doctor, are enabled.
Sent from my Floyo Tazz using XDA App
^ Bro - If you have to click on every app to restore, one by one... that isn't really "batch" mode, by definition
Get the paid version, well worth it, and nice to support the dev of such a well made and valuable app.
I wouldnt be caught flashing/changing roms without it !
For ppl that have trouble with Titanium Backup, try My Backup Pro. It sometimes works when TTB will not.
It's still a batch restore selection. And it restores app data as well. Only it prompts you on every app and asks if you'd like to install it.But yes, I agree, the paid version is a must.

on the pro version there is a new feature to backup apps to a flashable zip file, which should make the whole restore process super fast. You can just flash a new rom then flash your apps with data back and not have to do manual restoring.
I haven't tried it yet though.

It is possible to delete them from what i understand... but from what else i understand, if you delete them, you'll need to put them back if you intend on doing any of the OTA updates in the future. So... yea.... po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
titanium backup....
the best bang for your buck on any android device
I use titanium backup and just delete them if for some reason you need them back just reflash a rom.

I used to use titanium backup pro up until about a week ago. Then I found Antek which does what I need it to do, all I ever really used titanium backup for,which is freeze bloatware. Never really used it to back up much stuff cause unlike most people I choose to reinstall everything fresh when I flash a ROM. It just feels newer. If all u wanna do is freeze bloatware, I would go with Antek.

Don't delete.
It's a real PITA if you need to restore an app for any reason.
With the processing power, ram, and storage why would you need to delete?...

As for OP's question, Titanium Backup Pro by a landslide.
IMHO everyone should own this app since its like the "Swiss Army Knife" of Android apps...

One of the many reason I prefer System Tuner Pro, much more features than just app management, and it's still being updated with new features very frequently.
And not the least, it's still cheaper than Titanium Backup Pro! It can actually replace both TBP and System Panel Pro for much much less bucks! And still offer more features than both apps united!
STP should be the 3rd app on any Android phone if not the first considering it offers many features without root requried!
The first 2 could well be ClockWorkMod and root for those wishing to have extended control over their phone.
I use bloat freezer and love it. It seems to be much more descriptive on the thing I'm freezing than TiB which usually reports com.something

I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

Does this still work?
I have downloaded the files and use titanium to restore...
The app runs but gives me the "device not supported yet" banner.
I can use it to manage my account and all... but no play...

Downloads are available on the forum for the stock GB and the latest leaks. I don't see what your issue is. Just reflash.
All your apps are at the play store.
Learn to back up SMS and phone logs. Use titanium back up and push everything to Dropbox then you will be able to flash fearlessly.
Just to expand on what ranger said...thx ranger [email protected]: get the paid ver of Tibu...Titanium Backup you will not be sorry best $$ spent, plus google the youtube vid on how to use the tibu...best time spent...

No ones freaking out buddy...all I'm saying is that I had a very nice collection of backups including a backup of my note stock out of the box. Just about every rom out there stresses to make a backup and not to use tbu especially for data, which is why I don't use it. Obviously I know I can just make a backup of my current rom and flash any rom I want but I wasn't sure or didn't know stock gb was or is available just in case I need to get my phone warrentied for any reason. And when I flash a new rom I never restore apps and such, the only thing I restore are my sms ...I like a fresh phone.

Thanks for the replies guys but I wasn't concerned with apps and data, all I basically wanted to know was if stock gb was available in case I ever need to return my phone (I made a backup of gb on my sdcard which I lost) I don't care about call logs and I do backup and restore my SMS. I tend not to use tbu since my roms suggest not to use it especially to restore data.

I think you misunderstand. TB is one of the top apps for android and everyone who is rooted should get familiar with it. But you need to use it wisely. Using TB incorrectly can cause ForceCloses with both User and System apps. When using it on the Note and especially going from a gingerbread to ICS ROM it is suggested to restore user apps only but not the associated data.

Upgrading to new roms is a pain, because it takes a lot. For people who work or italian students that have to study 229 pages of literature for the next week, this is often a pain.
I am looking for the quickest way to put all my stuff on a newer rom (im on 4.1.1 stock rooted, gonna upgrade to foxhound)...ive searched the web and fastest way seems to be titanium backup...that's good and all...but it doesnt convince me too much.

TB pro
or the newer Carbon .
Data only from Nandroid yes .
Flash new rom boot recovery restore data only works 99% of the time .
Only problem can be the odd app conflict or a conflict if you move from ICS to JB .

Titanium back up I believe it does one app at the time and then I have to keep on giving it permissions, is it just me? Nandroid back up is an "image" of the actual ROM, data, settings etc. so if you try it, you would go back to previous rom, etc.
