Hello
I want to do a complete backup image of my Samsung Chromebook Plus - meaning the OS as well as the programs I have installed - both from chrome store and Play store.
I know there is the Chromebook Recovery Utility in chrome store. What I want to know is, will this backup my programs also, or just the system(OS)?
thanks

Hi,
I had an HTC incredible S and later I got a Kindle Fire. I flashed CM7 to kindle fire and when I set my google account in Kindle Fire it started downloading all apps I installed on the HTC. I stopped this action and installed the ones I wanted manually.
Is there a way (from a PC or directly from the device) to select a group of my apps and install them when I buy a device or reflash a rom?
I know backup programs can do it, but I don't see the point of storing app backups on the sdcard, while I already have them on the market in my account. (Maybe I'm wrong)
Every time I flash a new ROM on my phone, whether it was my old Galaxy S2 or my current Galaxy S4, Google Play recognizes that it is the same device as before and installs all the apps I previously installed on the phone.
My android stick computer (Minix Neo X5) does not behave this way. Every time I flash a new ROM, regardless of whether it is an official ROM from the developer (Minix) or a custom ROM with CWM, Google Play does not recognize that it is the same device as before and I have to go through the arduous process of installing all previous apps.
Is there a file or folder that I could backup on my stick computer and restore after flashing that will let Google Play recognize it properly? build.prop?

Try Titanium Backup or Nandroid Manager (both available on the Play Store). They can change the Android device id to match the previous, there are also dedicated apps if you google "change android device id".

Thanks for the post. I was wondering what I could search on Google to potentially find my answer.
I will try out these methods and report back. I was unaware that Titanium/NAND backs up the device information (I thought it was just for apps and app data)
hi
i use my google account on 2 devices: galaxy s3 and nexus 10 tab.
i recently flashed on my s3 a paranoid rom. there, i was asked to sign in to my google account (like always when u set up a phone) but then it downloaded automatically all apps i had on my phone before (under play store ALL) and id also knew, which apps i just use on my tablet and did not install those!
know, i finally found which rom i prefer to use from now on (cyanomod).
does anybody know how to force playstore to restore the device like id happend on the other rom?
and NO, have no other backups of my app, and the app data is not importent, i just dont want to download all apps manually.

Hello together,
After a bunch of testing I find out how Google Play Games Connections working under FireOS 4.5.4. This is essential for Backup Games like Clash of Clans (installed per sideload) to your Google Account for using on another Device.
I do the following:
Download the gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53319258#post53319258
Install the following apk from folder gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed\system\priv-app per sideload:
Google Account Manager 4.4.4-1227136
Google Backup Transport 4.4.4-1227136
Google OneTime Init 4.4.4-1227136
Google Partner Setup 4.4.4-1227136
Google Services Framework 4.4.4.-1227136
After that i get the following files from here:
http://google-play-services.en.uptodown.com/
google-play-5-6-8-multi-android.apk
google-play-services-7-5-74-1997312-070-multi-android
And the newest Google Play Games (3.1.1) from Playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.play.games&hl=de
Downloaded the apk via
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
That combination of files working actually on my 3rd Generation HDX 7 with OS 4.5.4 and allows me to backup my Gameplay to Google Play Games Account.
Hope you enjoy!
Google Account Manager?
Hi, I am following your guide. I can't find Google Account Manager in the downloaded zip file. Can you help? Thanks
It's the file GoogleLoginService.apk.
So is this working ok
Working!
Did it on my kindle fire hdx 4th generation running 4.5.4 os and it actually works on apps like boom beach and clash of clans! Thanks!
nothing in the folders?
I was excited when I found your post. But I didn't get very far. I download the first step and the file is empty. I'm committed to getting by amazons crap.your help is so appreciated. God I wish I could go back and never buy this thing sigh.
Thanks,bryce
Can I install with this method other applications besides games?
So I did all the steps and got everything working until I go into google play and it just comes up at no internet connection when I do have one
I hate to necro an old thread, but I was wondering if this works with the latest FireOS release? I have a Clash account I want to synchronize/transfer to a new tablet... Appreciate it!
Hello,
is there a way to get the apps automatically to my new Oppo Find X phone?
I used Google for that but my new phone doesn't have that menu point
Do you know an app where I can do my restore of Google like I was used to?
Thnaks in advance
Easiest way is to install Play Store from the Oppo App Store. Play Store will bring along Google Framework and allow you to sign in and do the restore. Otherwise I've also had some success with Helium although some apps won't backup with it. Sucks that we don't have root.

Thanks for the answer. I've done this and it works.
But I cannot automatically backup all the apps. I need to install every app separately, or?
When you first sign in with the account after installing play services one of the steps it asks you is if you want to restore your apps and settings. If you say yes it should start installing all the play store apps your account had installed on your other device. Not sure what to do if it didn't ask you. Maybe it wasn't enabled when you were setting up on the old device...
