Personally I think you can't go wrong with titanium. It's a lot easier with the pro version. But as far as restoring apps you can't beat it.

Cloud services, augmenting locally stored zips and APKs for me. Choosing apps like Nova and ChompSMS that allow a local settings backup are key to the ROM-hopper.
Between a custom Gapps package, TBO, and pulls from APKmirror and some zips, I get most of what I need. As far as the data portion, that's where cloud services really come in.; often all that is needed is a log-in and it's there.
I should say that I am a productivity user, not a gamer.
I Used Titanium backup pro and flashed a new ROM. So far so good. thanks again for all the info

I did a mild search and didn't find anything, so sorry if this is a repost.
I want to try new roms, but don't want to go through the headache of redownloading all the apps that I have, is there an easy way to back up my existing apps so I can flash a new rom and just "reload" my old apps?
Does Titanium backup do this? (i've never really used it)
Yes. Use titanium. But use it only to restore apps, never system settings

You can also use MyBackup Root (for both apps, data). The interface is very simplistic and straight to the point, if you don't want all the stuff packed into Titanium.
No dumb questions. Most roms will just auto restore your apps when you sign in with your gmail acct, but some do have the feature disabled so then I would recommend titanium backup. If your new to the root game I would definitely recommend the paid versions of root explorer, titanium backup, and ROM manager at the very least. With the paid version of titanium you can also run the market doctor to restore the market links for your apps if for some reason they do not show up I'm the market after you restore them. Good luck!
Awesome, thanks guys! I appreciate it.
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if there is a way to install in "batch mode" apps from the market. Since I change rom very often, it takes me a lot of time to install over 200 apps, one by one, from the market every time.
Thanks everybody.

Why don't you use Titanium Backup? You can just use the Batch option to backup and then restore all your apps with data. (you should have the pro version for this). You don't have to depend on the Market (or the Play store) for restoring the apps. Titanium Backup even restores the apps with the market links. Couldn't live without it.
Ok thank you for fast reply.... I already bought titanium pro but if I restore the apps from titanium, will they updated from the market? Or what happen with the purchased apps? Thanks you for your help!

Titanium Backup Pro not only backups up your apps and data, but it also backs up 'market links'. So after restoring your apps, your market app will recognize the installed apps and you can update the apps in the future when you get any updates. And it will also work with purchased apps, so don't worry.
My silly method for new roms .
Update apps on the market .
Update the Titanium Pro backup .
Do a Nandroid backup .
New rom .
Restore apps from TB .
Nandroid in reserve in case you want to go back to old rom .

Wow! Perfect!
Now last question: i heard that somebody suggest to restore only the apps and not the data, because it can creates some problem for mixing old data with the new system. Is it true or i can go on in this way?

You can restore Apps+Data for all your apps. No problem. But do NOT restore with Data for any system app coz your new ROM will have different system data. You don't have to worry about normal apps though.

Now I'll try this method to change my stock rom into the new Miui v4!
Hello,
I am trying some ROMs here to have the best comparison and best choice exactly for me and to fit my needs and expectations ...
I stay on some ROMs for a while and install some of the applications. My question is now hot to make backups and restores the best wa possibles?
I have used programs like Titanium backup etc but I always have to install all programs again from Google Play and the restoring is very difficult when updating rom is needed very often and sometimes with full wipe.
So my question is how to do all this most comfortable, quick and best way possible step by step? I think man users appreciate this advices
Thank you.
The Application Backup tool in Astro File Manager has always been my method of choice. It backs up all the APKs to your sdcard so no more downloading from Google Play every time.

Ummmm no, nandroid will get you your previous rom. He is trying to play with new roms and get his apps reinstalled easily.

Nandroid and TB pro are what most use as as backup and restore .
TB restores all apps that you backup and you would only use Google Play afterwards to update apps that have been updated since your TB backup .
CWM Nandroid + TB over 500 roms tested and restored no problems for me .

Titanium just stucks on first restoring application on 0% and nothing is really restored when I tried only install from play and after I can restore app data not app+data together ... :-(
First run of TB on a new rom .
Open TB let it find and accept root .
Close TB reboot phone then use TB as normal .
Now 501 TB restores .

Retrieving previously purchased applications
Your application purchases are tied to your Google Account and can be installed an unlimited amount of times on any device. So, for example, if you remove 'My Favorite Game' to save memory, you can reinstall it at a later date with no charge by simply visiting My Apps. Note: free applications are not saved to My Apps after you remove them.
If you are being asked to purchase an application you have already purchased on Google Play on an existing or previous device, you might be using a different account than the one you were using at the time you made your purchase. Because the application is associated with a different Google Account, you are being charged to purchase it again. Additionally, if you are missing certain apps (free or paid), they might be registered under a different Google account. Fortunately, you can recover access to these apps by simply switching the account you’re currently signed into on Google Play.
The process to switch your account is dependant on the version of the Google Play Store app you’re currently using. You can find out which version of the Google Play Store app you’re using by going to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All, and selecting Play Store. The version is listed under the Play Store title. (On Android 2.1 or lower, you might need to select Menu > Filter > All to find the listing for the Google Play Store app)

Thx this helped a lot finally working quite well and restorin all apps
I do not have any problems with installing apps from Googl Play I just wanted to restore them at once which is now possible thank you all for participating
I'm about to flash my first rom in over a year, and I don't remember some of the basic stuff that I used to pride myself on knowing. I'm coming from stock, and moving to viper. Should I use mybackup pro or titanium? Should I backup the system items or just the user apps? Didn't viper remove some things? Won't they just be restored if I restore system items?
I'm cool with backing up in recovery first, so no worries there.
/feeling like a noob again

You can use either of those backup options. I would suggest not backing up and restoring system settings after you flash. This is usually a primary cause for issues. But Apps and data are fine.
In the past I restored settings and it would drive my custom ROMs bonkers.
Since you're coming from straight stock, it might not be a bad idea to backup system apps, but I def wouldn't restore system apps on a custom rom.
Happy flashing.

Can you backup an app such as.... Google Authenticator?? Or banking apps that have somehting like one click login enabled?
I have always started from scratch when I flash a ROM, and that's SUPER annoying. HAHA. I'm a newb.

I don't know about Google Authenticator, never used it. Banking apps and other apps that require sign in, you can back up using titanium backup. When you flash a rom, using titanium backup restore app+ data.

Hi
I'm new to rooting and custom roms, so far I've rooted my s3 (i9305) and added a custom recovery. I'm currently looking for a custom rom to update the stock version I'm currently running (4.1.2). I have titanium backup installed and everything is backed up, however many of the posts I've read suggest not to restore apps + data from titanium backup. Can anyone explain why, is it just titanium backup that causes problems? What about using other backup apps like helium? Can I restore just the apps using titanium backup, or should I download from the play store instead?
For me the most important stuff is contacts and calendars (which are in my google account), so that's easy as I just re-add my account. My call logs and SMS are backup to my google account using SMS backup, so I assume it's ok to restore this data as well, I'd also like to be able to restore my firefox data.
Any advice would be appreciated to a noob, I know how to do it, just want to know what the potential risks are of restoring apps and data.
Thanks
Dave
Try app backup and restore if you have a lot of apps it could potentially take up quite a bit of space but you could always backup to cloud ,or external hard drive, or flash drive

It is normally okay for u to restore apps. But not recommended if u are coming from touchwiz to aosp roms. The frameworks are different and u may experience force closes. U can try to see if u have force closes.
