I am just wondering whether it's possible to backup my SETTINGS and restore it later?
this is what it takes most of my time whenever I do the clean RESET.
most programs offers to backup the Contacts, Media, etc but not Settings ...
does the 'Program Data' do the Settings backup?
thanks

which option will also backup my PLAYLISTS?
I don't mean the 50GB of music files here which I prefer uploading manually, that's faster than backup.

That would be the app and data for whichever music app you use. I assume that it would backup playlists and settings for the app.

tried all day yesterday this too ...
it starts backing up fine but somewhere in the middle it says, it completed 3 out of 11, and thats it !
I've also noticed that by backing up settings it only backs up the Settings folder.
which option would it be if I wanna backup settings in other apps, like FB login, ETC?
what about the 3rd party stuff: Wondershare Mobile Trans or MOBILedit ?

Hi guys,
How do you ensure smooth replacement of apps, data (contacts, call logs, messages, home screen etc) when you have to wipe data in order to try new ROMs?
I have tried using Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro; but found that it was cumbersome and also some apps were missing and some of my contacts had duplicated onto Gmail?
What technique do you follow when trying out new ROMs?
i'm using titanium backup for "user apps" and gmail for contacts backup. that's all

Thanks, guys.
So can you get your phone back to the customized routine self (with merged contacts of fb and twitter to gmail contacts & your customized homescreen settings and all) in a jiffy using Titanium Backup or any other technique for it?
I want to let a friend borrow my Transformer Prime but I want to remove all my Gmail, Voice, etc from it. I want to leave all the apps on it. How do I do this?
you need to delete data saperatrly from system of each app
Ah.... Ok. Thanks!

System of each application????
could you elaborate a little more please?
sorry wrote it wrong you will need to wipe data of each app seperately from setting
Use Titanium Backup. Backup all the apps, then factory reset.
Or an easier solution: In Go Launcher, hide the icon (press Menu button in the App Drawer) of the apps you don't want your friend to see.
Also you can go to settings and remove accounts from various apps in the "Accounts and sync" tab, thats how I remove my email without deleting everything.
Is there an app or a simple method to backup my SMS inbox, contacts and evrything so that I.can restore it after doing a full wipe? Planning on changing roms tonight and was wondering..

try my backup root from play store
Get to grips with TitaniumBackup, essential app for rooting and flashing custom roms. It'll backup and restore all your messages, wifi data, call logs (a bit temperamental though with call logs) and bookmarks etc. Very quick aswel.
I'd recommend syncing contact and calendar information with your Google account though and not restoring those with backups.
Also consider mybackup pro, for backing up SMS and logs.

I am now also using Titanium Backup Pro it is amazing and recover all user apps or even system data ... I wonder if there is any option to delete backuped system data and leave only apps ...
I use mybackup pro and it backs up everything, apks, data, texts, pictures, everything.
It's a thing of beauty.

Hi,
I just got a new Nexus 9 and of course I want to root it to get Titanium Backup, V4A, etc.
Unfortunatly I installed everything first, before I read that rooting requires unlocking the bootloader and hence wiping all the data.
Is there a way to root the Nexus without wiping the data?
If not, does anyone know a backup sw, which also backs up all app settings? (in this case non root of course)
My last question is about OTA (does it work on a root (stock rom) device? OTA is not required, but nice to have.
Thanks upfront.
Thomas
AFAIK you will have to unlock the bootloader
If you backup to your Google account then a restore includes (Note the last para. re app settings):
"Google Calendar settings
Wi-Fi networks & passwords
Home screen wallpapers
Gmail settings
Apps installed through Google Play (backed up on the Play Store app)
Display settings (Brightness & Sleep)
Language & Input settings
Date & Time
Third-party app settings & data (varies by app)
Automatically restore app settings
You can choose to restore app settings when you reinstall an app on your device. This feature requires that you have already backed up your data with your Google account and that the app also uses the backup service. Some apps may not back up and restore all data."

Thanks, unfortunatly half of my apps wont backup their settings and these are the most work intensive (dreambox apps, etc). Any other solution or do I need to go the hard way?

Is there any way to backup apps (i have some that store data on the device and if I wipe the device that data will be lost) and since there is no Xperia transfer mobile like on my xz2 i don't see how I can backup apps and restore them after I update to android 10 manually?
Does the Google account not offer this feature? (backup and restore, within settings)

I think it saves data too.
About Migrate, it needs root.
Root needs unlocked bootloader, which means that your warranty and DRM keys will be vanished.

the applications that you use does not offer backup via with Google, Facebook or other account? if so there is no risk regarding the data

The application I use does not offer any sort of backup. It stores all it's data on the phone itself. So if i ever uninstall it and install it again (in case of updating to android 10) the data will be gone. I am not sure if backing it with google will back the application data too. Back in the xz2 days with xperia transfer it backed up everything the apps data was intact.

unfortunately I can not tell you that applications is saved, it depends on the developer of the application. But for example in my case my alarms, public transport application, weather app are saved with basic Google synchronization

I flashed the android 10 update using flasher and i can confirm that it does not save the data. It does save your installed apk files however it does not restore the app data.

I am talking about my data, all my alarms have been set as before (sound, duration, volume), in the weather application all my different places and for the SNCB application all my searches for stations and tickets have been restored none of the applications have account for backup. But as I said it must depend on the application and the developer.

Yes it does restore your home menu layout, your sms messages , your alarms , the way you have arranged your icons in the start menu. But it does not save the application data unless it is backed up by the application itself.
