hello
I have a unrooted s9+
any recommended apps to backup my apk files? I tried helium bit its going crazy.
There are threads about this issue, you should search before creating a new one, if you want to backup only the apk files you can use Super Backup Pro, it won't backup the data only the apk's.

im not looking for old and outdated thread. for one, apps which worked with my s7 failed to work with s9+.
I tried Super Backup Pro last week, google backup is not working. tried few other backup apps, but 95% of them will just give you a local backup. im looking for something like dropbox, google cloud backup.

check that out, false advertising. they claim their product will upload to cloud servers, but i already installed and no such options/
so im asking for real user reviews here

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.
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.
any changed need to be made or could i back it up like you do when transferring to other phones?
anyone know? can i backup the google accounts on the device too?

Good evening everybody,
I have been starting to flash different ROMS, and what is the best way to restore data and apps? (titanium backup? Or something else?
It takes a while to re-download Everything from the Google play store.
I am on skydragon Rom with VZW.
I have titanium backup and also jrummy ultimate backup pro.
Thanks again for the info

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

Hello there,
I know one can use apps like Migrate or like Titanium backup to do this, but the restriction is that the phone needs to be rooted.
As I use my phone as my daily driver including several banking apps, I do not want to root it.
Any idea of any backup apps that work as good in a non-rooted phone?
Thanks

Super backup but i think it only backups apks but not game data. You can also check helium backup.
