Hi,
i transfer my contacts with phoneexplorer, that works.
But is it possible to backup apps and appdata on S2 and restore them to Z2.
I put my SD-Card from the S2 to Z2 and i try it with appBackup, the apps could be restored on the Z2 but the appdata not.
i try to restore colornote, shazam, and nitrodesk mail client.
All apps are unconfigured without any data.
The difference i see between S2 and Z2 is, that the SD-Card (many from my apps and data are there) is
S2 ../external_sd
Z2 ../sdcard1
Is it possible to configure/rename the folder sdcard1 to external_sd and should that work or any other suggestion?
Thanks in advance

If you're rooted, try Titanium Backup. It does a hell of a job. It helped me transfer about 150 apps along with their data from S3 to Z2

Okay thanks,
my s2 is rooted, i root the Z2 too and try titanium.
Great, Titanium works like a dream.
I had restored all Apps with data and settings on the Z2, except Navigon.
After restore Navigon crashs, installing from play works but all favorites and routes are empty.
I try to export the tables with some sqlite tools as csv but imports failed because there's a blob field in every row that can't be exported.
You can also try Xperia Transfer Mobile from Play. I've installed it but never used it.

All data on the phone is, SD card is fine, so pics and videos should be fine.
I've used Titanium for the apps, which in most cases also restores the settings too.
I use google sync, so Contacts are synced as soon as I add my google account to the phone (not sure how the other sync methods work for contact)
Finally, for SMSs I used the SE backup and restore app, and just chose SMS. there is an option for apps on there too, but I haven't used it.
Then, once 2.1 is installed, root, install busybox then use titanium to restore apps (don't restore system settings, as that caused me an issue with WiFi, app setting are fine though), then you will have all of your apps back, then open SE's backup and restore and choose to restore the backup you made earlier for texts
Contacts were auto for me, and photos and other SD contents will need no restoring at all, just view!
Copy and paste for my media files and SD card, and I used gmail and MyPhoneExplorer for my contacts. Titanium should do your apps and settings for them, but being a whole OS I just started from scratch with them.
Having always rooted my phones I never had an issue backing up apps and data via Titanium backup but am now looking for a solution to back up apps and their data on my non-rooted Z2.
Having just flashed the latest Z2 firmware via Flashtool which wipes the phone, I've restored backups I had made with Sonys Back Up and Restore app only to find it didn't backup all it said it did, so had a number of apps and data missing.
Can anyone recommend a solution to this

I was in the same boat as yourself, Ive found a good one is HELIUM, plus helium will state what apps don't have a backup option coded into them so unlike sonys own app u wont be annoyed when some apps do/don't backup Also Helium allows cloud backups as well as internal and external sd card backups
Im currently using helium for apps and Mybackup pro for my text message backups as I found heliums message backups were weirdly in the opposite date order to normal use( instead of latest being at bottom of list it was at top)
Thanks mate, will give Helium a try

Just confiming, does Hellium doesnt back up the app data like TB?
I know ive read somewhere there is an app by chainfire for app and data backup for non rooted but at first glance it seem a bit long winded so never bothered with it.
I used easy backup which restored my apps, sms, mms, call log etc all no probs but yeah problem was no data backed up so had to set them all up like email, settings etc all over again.
I understand Unlocking and Rooting an Xperia is a tough task. But the stock ROM is good enough.
A good article here. It helped me and it may help you too buddy.

well your not gonna get the same level of backup due to lack of root, but for me it saved things like game progression(i.e angry birds) but didn't save things like custom widget sets in HD widgets app. But not the end of the world.
Ive started looking at my backups a bit more in detail and asking do I really need a backup of some apps, as some are just install-login to app and use no custom data to speak of to really backup. Or other apps like XDA app and game progression which have custom settings and progression Id like to save.

bro, Last time I used Helium is when it was called Carbon, I tried it with Xperia S and it didn't worked at all, after that I saw this in it's description in Play Store
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

I lost hope after that, so does it work now on Z2 ?
I'm still not in a hurry to have Z2 as there's still no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, and I will not unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition first ( which requires root )... so I've been looking for a way to copy some of my app's data from my old phone to Z2, I used to use Titanium Backup always but you know, no root = no TB...
so can you confirm please that you used Helium to backup AND restore app's data to the Z2 ? or you're just guessing from a non-xperia experience ?

I used helium to backup my apps on my s3 then install them on my z2, ive also backedup up my current apps on my z2 since, but like ive already said helium cant backup certain apps as the app developer hasn't allowed backup function. Helium did the job for me for my game progression and a few apps where I wanted current setup saved.
Hi,
I would like to know which option in Titanium Backup can backup my messages (from viber/whatsapp, etc.) and games (Candy Crush for example (note that i don't use facebook)) because I'm moving from the stock rom of samsung 4.3 to CM11 (first time I want to install a rom).
Thanks for anyone who may help

Backup all user apps will do just fine.
It will backup data of those apps too, so you are good to go!

So shoudln't there be any special setting to backup game saves/progresses?
no, you can backup data game like other apps
when i see the backup properties - both data and "external data" should be marked? Or it's enough that only data
And one more thing - the folder "Phone\TitaniumBackup" is the one I should copy to the SD
Depends from the app: both marked if has external data like TomTom navigator with maps or Real Racing with data about tracks and cars, only data for most part of apps
I suggest you to set up as default folder for backup a folder on external microsd.

Backup all (even unbackupable) Android apps!
Enable backing up of all Android apps. Useful for adb tool/Helium app.

First, thanks! I will test right now.
Awesome:good:
OK guys .. where is the feedback " those who already tested it " ..
Such app is always welcomed
Thank you Dev
Will test on 5.1 and report back if it works
Edit: doesn't work
could you give an example of unbackupable app?
E.g. SuperSU, AquaMail. Not possible to backup them via Helium without this module.
It would be a great mod if it would work 100% but there are still some apps on my phone I can't back up with Helium such as Facebook, Messenger and ebay. For some apps it works. Using a Xperia Z running stock 4.4.4 KitKat.

Yes, some bug(?) on Helium side. Flag for backing up is enabled for all apps.
How to use it? After instalation i don't see anything

I found out how to activate backup for the rest apps in Helium. You habe to start the apps shown under deactivated backup once. After that you can back them up with Helium.
Edit: I should have tested it first. The apps area listed under able to back up but the process does take too long. So it does not work.
Edit 2: The result of another test is that I can not back up those apps on my external sd card but on my internal memory.

It does not create any shortcut. This mod disables the hook in apps that deactivates the possibility to back these apps up with Helium or adb. There is nothing to set up.
What are the advantages of this over titanium backup? I've never come across an app I can't backup
Great! It's working... :good:
It's my suggestion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/idea-hook-androidallowbackup-t3063979
Great Minds Think Alike
I was just thinking of how I'd go about this :good:
Edit:
I was gonna name it BackupAllowed, as it made more sense, if you wanna have your pick.
Does it backup the data as well or just the apk?

This mod doesn't backup anything. You'll need another app like Helium.

Thanks. OP really needs to put a full description in the main post.
backups?
Have u ever heard of titanium backup?
Titanium backup is not backing up some apps fully called Modern combat 4 whose size is 1.97 Gb (backups only 24 Mb) and the other app called Nine whose size is 338 Mb (Backups only 91 Mb) even after setting value of 2048 MB (2Gb) in 'Select ex external data by max size in MB'
Here's what the dev says in help section:
" v. Extended Backups
Some applications (especially games) require more than just the APK and settings data. In most cases, these are assets of the particular application. In our terms, we call these “external app data”. With Titanium Backup, you can create backups containing these if you have enough storage on your device. To do this, you just need to go to Titanium Backup’s preferences and look for “Backup app external data” option. If you decide to set a limit to the external data, the subsequent option in the preferences namely “Select external data by max size” will allow you to set the respective limits.
Note that Titanium Backup only includes external data that is stored in /sdcard/Android/data/ directory. Some files like the OBB files are big and are downloaded straight from Google, thus never contain user generated content. These files are NOT included and are NOT considered as app external data by Titanium Backup"
Any better backup app? Please let me know.
I recently got a new Z2, it came with android 6.0.1 preinstalled.
I currently use a xperia ZL and want to migrate everything to my new phone. Contacts and calendar are easy, but how can I easily copy existing apps from one phone to another?
I have a very very poor internet connection, it woukd take days (!!) to download everything from PlayStore again. And app data would be lost.
Since I don't have root on Z2 titanium is not an option.
How do you guys migrate your apps and app-data to a new phone?
How about ShareIT ?
You can send multiple apps from one phone to another using WiFi Hotspot.
Install an apk backup app on the old phone and copy the backup folder to new phone. To restore you can do it with the help of the backup app or do it manually yourself via a file browser to select and install the apk. This does not back up app data/settings (because not titanium/root) but atleast you won't have to use internet to reinstall the apps.

To transfer apps and their data use helium backup. But make a backup using a Webbrowser, not to the internal storage because other phone won't detect them. Then just restore via website on the other phone with the same app.

First, thank you all for your tipps!
I read that helium doesn't work on xperia-phones, does it only affect the backup on sd card?
Just curious because backup to a web server is not possible for me due to my bad bandwith.... [emoji30]
I managed to copy all apps to my new phone. I will now try to export the settings from some critical apps and import them again on my Z2.
So again, thank you for your help!

Helium worked fine with lg g3, xiaomi redmi note 3 so it should also with xperia.
The backup is being performed to internal storage, but that option won't let you recover the apps on another phone, only on this one.
That's why I mentioned webbrowser backup. It's not backup to a cloud.
It backups to your computer storage. Internet speed doesn't matter.
Understood. Thank you!!
