I'm not sure how or why because I wasn't doing anything special or extravagant.... But my Bluetooth, NFC, and linked connecting/sharing services uninstalled themselves.
Can anyone please post up the apks/folders for AT LEAST Bluetooth... I could care less about NFC I just don't want to factory reset and redo all my customizing :'(
It's quite easy to backup all your settings etc in various apps & launchers. I switch roms regularly and backup all my settings and restore easily. Sorry I can't be much of a help with apks but resetting isn't so daunting

Thanks for the positive influence Craig I just think it might be easier at this point to try and install Bluetooth, 1 thing go do, instead of free installing all the apps I have...
If it doesn't work out I'll try that!

If you are remaining on the same ROM you'll have absolutely no problems backing up and restoring your apps and their data using Titanium Backup. That will save you a lot of time downloading and setting up your apps again.

Will that back up custom manually installed dialer, gallery, messaging, file management, etc? Apps that I've overwritten to change?

Yes, it will backup any apps you have installed and already installed apps and their data. Have a Google on how to use it or watch a YT video about it but it's pretty straightforward. It's very useful for "freezing" bloatware. It's a rooted essential app. Even your texts can be backed up and restored with your Samsung account, or more preferably, an app called SMS backup restore.

Have a question about the google backup option, where it automatically downloads and restores apps. Is there a way to clear out the apps it has in memory, and then back up fresh? I used it a while back, and now I have a nice clean set up the way I want, but when I turned it on it starts downloading all the old apps I no longer wanted.
Any ideas how to reset or clear out that list?
Thanks!

I've never found a way to clear google's list of apps on their side. However, if you skip google setup during the initial setup of the phone, and then setup your account later, it will not automatically download your apps.
Cool. I didn't know that.
You should try titanium backup. The 5 is worth it. After I install a new Rom I skip all the initial setup and just restore with Ti backup and reboot and everything is perfect

It is actually what I use. Just have been curious about the Google Backup and restore service for a bit now. Thanks for the reply
Curiously though, no-one knows how to do this.. lol

+1 - I found Titanium Backup to be one of the greatest apps. I had a ton of issues with Google trying to re-download all of my apps and created a mess of things. I just keep a backup copy of Titanium Backup on my sd card (the .apk) so I don't even have to open the market to download it. Restore apps after rebooting into my new rom and done! No More issues.
if u want to get rid of a app when u turn Google backup on you got to let it install and them uninstall it and sync
If you go to the web based version of the Android market you can edit what apps are associated with what phone. I actually have an old Droid that I mainly use as an alarm clock in the docking station and I just download apps from the online market and then I have the option of which phone I want to send it to.

Seems the inly one that backs up data also.
MyBackup has a non root version now! It is in the market.
I love My Backup Root...intending on buying pro soon.
I don't get the purpose of these backup applications unless you have like 80 apps. I can remember all of the apps I normally use. Google backs everything else up don't they?
I use it mainly for backing up the data from within a program. Things like high scores on games.

I have like 80 apps, plus I need all my data.
So with mybackup I could back up my game save data and transfer it to the 3d?
Absolutely!

u sure mybackup will restore an app's data on a non-root phone? not just the app apk? i have seen several places that restore the app's data wont work.
i actually only have the paradise island saved game that i am really interested in....
As far as I know, in order for an app to restore your apk data, it needs root access to write to the system.

That is right, a phone has to have Root access and then MyBackup can support the Data of the applications. But, it will also work on non-root phones.
Also, it can backup and restore system data like SMS, MMS, bookmarks, music playlists, etc. for NON-ROOT phone and BETWEEN ALL ROMS, which is something no other application on the market can do.
MyBackup Root is a free application for root users that will give you the ability to restore ALL your apps at once, without having to click through each one by one, like titianium free makes you do.
U can always unzip the apk in the titanium folder and install the app

But that is a pain, using MyBackup it will do everything for you.
mybackup root only lets you back up and restore to the same model phone
I have tried to restore app n data to my 3d from my 4g. Only app gets installed; data does not. SMS and contacts restore fine.

Jumping from rom to rom the app reinstall process becomes something of a pain.
What do you guys do to speed this up?

There is an option that google can sync all your apps. But I don't use that.
I use titanium backup PRO (non pro version does not work too well in this case). It's not about installing needed apps faster but also I keep my data, for example highscores

You have to be a little careful in ny experience in reinstalling all apps and data using titanium.After a few reinstalls you can get issues with memory / slowing, particularly if you are changing between different versions android.
I use Mybackup Pro to back up call logs and sms. I use app2zip to save a cwm flashable version of all my apps (to save reinstalling them all). I use a titanium backup to restore the datavto a few critical apps. That way, the installs are as clean as possible.

Do you keep highscores or game achievements that way? I play some games where I really don't want to loose my progress, unlocked content ...
I use GO BACKUP it works great for getting my applications and data back. Had no problems at all with it.
Go with titanium back up pro. Only back up user apps and user app data. Otherwise you'll have issues.
To the poster that warned you about being careful restoring apps don't listen. You won't have any problems if you restore user apps and data, only system apps and data will cause issues. I have yet to experience any issues restoring user apps and data and I've switched roms, switched android versions (gb to ics) switched devices (multiple times) and have never had issue restoring user apps and data
And why you want the pro paid version is it has a batch operation. If you don't have the pro version you have to sit there and press "install" for each app it restores with the pro version its automatic so no need to confirm every time a app is restored

thanks guys for the useful advice! although i think ill try the free app2zip before paying for ti pro key.
Here is the problem. I've been using custom ROMs since they became available on S3. Most of this ROMs recommend doing a WIPE prior to flashing via CWM for a clean install. It was ok but then I noticed that my Facebook App, Messenger and even inlcuding the built-in Email app doesn't give me any notfications whatsoever. But if check the said apps, new messages and alerts are there, the only difference is there are no LED Notifications and No Tones and No Alerts even at the Pull Down Notification Screen. I have checked the app's settings regarding sync and everything is ok. I tried both this methods, restoring apps from Titanium Backup and restoring the app's apk files which I managed to save thanks to Android Assistant. I even tried uninstalling those apps then downloading them again from PlayStore, only to encounter the said issues.
What can I do about this? Since then I was forced to just directly flash the ROMs without any Wipe.
System settings?
So does that mean you have checked the system settings as well?
Yes I did

Yes. I've checked everything. Quite strange actually
Yeah I came across this problem as well, but my email notifications and everything all show up except facebook. Whenever I get a notification for facebook, it is only through email and not through the actual app itself. It doesn't bother me that much but would be great if someone had an idea how to fix.
Any updates on this?
I have an original SGS, but always go through the same problem whenever I clean install a new ROM.
I've found out that if:
- I restore app+data from Titanium Backup -> No notifications
- I install app from Play Store, then restore data from TB -> No notifications
- Complete fresh install of app from Play Store -> Notifications work.
Such a pain having to follow this method, and makes me wonder if something is going wrong when TB is restoring.. food for thought anyways, hope this helps!

Data from another rom can mess apps up, if you restore data via titanium its probably from a different rom so that could be messing things up. Or the data in titanium could be corrupt download all apps from play store, and delete the titanium the backup folder and re backup see if that fixes it.

That certainly makes sense, cheers for the heads up!
Another question, something that probably won't work but makes me curious.
You know when you update nightlies, and it gives you that screen when you boot saying 'updating apps'? What is that process doing, and would that correct the data in any way?
So I've been trying to figure out how to perform post-install actions to my ROM similar to how OEMs do it when you set your phone up for the first time. Here's what I came up with:
This video shows the process of factory resetting your device, booting up for the first time, and post-installing and activating the Xposed Framework along with a module and personalized settings for that module. Please leave feedback on what you think.

Sweet!
Looks cool, kinda reminds me of Sashimi from the Windows Mobile days.
Could this be adapted to restore other settings, like for example, accounts (email, facebook, exchange and the like)?

It sure can
This seems pretty cool... But isn't this almost the same as restoring app and app data with titanium backup or ROM tool box pro?

Kinda.... It's more for ROM chefs who would like to provide an out-of-box experience to their users with pre-defined settings, apps, and more.
This will eliminate the need for all these post-setup instructions that ROM chefs like to include in their OP. It also eliminates the need to store apps in /data/app during flash, because after you factory reset, it gets deleted. This way, you don't need to reflash the ROM and no matter how many times you factory reset, it will set up everything the way the ROM chef intended post-boot.
If I turned it into an app, or found a way to make it more user friendly, end users such as yourself would no longer have to worry about incompatibilities between different ROM versions when restoring things with TitaniumBackup.
