Back up apps with data and settings - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
after trying several roms at the moment, it bothers me more and more to install all the necessary apps again, set them up, log them in etc..
There is Titanium Backup etc. but I read that these have problems with Android 12/13. Is there an app that can help me here?
I imagine it like this: Install on existing system, select apps, then it will create a file with the apps, settings etc. In the new Rom, I install the app and say, please restore backup X. Then everything is there again as usual, without reconfiguration etc..
Thanks and greetings

Use ADB.

I'm not sure, but I have always used Titanium backup, you can see this guide: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34040-guide-titaniumbackup-tutorial/
to back up all my apps. However, I don't have the pro version, so once i restore all my apps using titanium backup, I use an app called Super backup to restore all of my contacts, call logs, messages, etc.
Hope this helps, and as always, dont forget to backup a nandroid just in case something goes wrong
Cheers, hope this helps

Backup App and User Data Help?

I have been searching for an answer for this question for a couple of days now but have yet to find one, so I decided to go ahead and make a thread for it. What I am wondering, is how to create a backup of all my user data, apps, and app data that I can restore on different roms? I am currently stock rooted, however I have downloaded and wish to flash ARHD Rom, but I don't want to have to re install everything from scratch I just want to be able to click "restore" and have all my apps and data back.
Any Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys.

Because you are not rooted go this route. You do not require root.
1. Use the Helium app and copy the folder it creates onto your computer, it's called "CARBON." This will copy all apps and app data.
2. Use HTC Backup from the app store and backup everything onto dropbox. This will also backup your apps + data. It will be on a cloud storage so no need to push anything to anywhere.
3. Go into your SMS and hit the menu button. Backup all user text messaging. Copy to computer.
now you can report everything to anything.
After you are on your new ROM.
1. Run HTC Backup (comes with rom) and restore everything.
2. Use Helium to restore any missing apps.
3. Restore SMS.
Done.

I am rooted, what I'm really wondering now is if I can restore the data portion of my nandroid backup after flashing the new rom or if that will result in a bunch of FC's?

Use Titanium Backup and it can grab apps from a nandroid backup and restore them. navigate for this feature through the options menu.

Yes, you can flash a clean Rom then restore your data file from a previous backup. the only problem with that is that whatever problems you may have had before, may be present still. Otherwise, it doesn't hurt anything. In fact, both CWM and TWRP allow advanced restore where you can select portions of your back up to restore..one a time. In my opinion, it allows you to see, if a backup fails to restore, where exactly it is having trouble, be it in system, boot, data..etc. I literally just did this, restoring a data backup onto a clean Rom, and so far no issues. I understand what you mean by not wanting to set everything back up. System settings, widgets and app placements. You had the perfect setup and it took you forever to get it that way. Titanium backup and Rom Toolbox don't always restore these things like they claim to do.
Edit: I am finding the hard way with this phone, that unlike my old LG Mytouch, when you flash a firmware upgrade, non OTA push I mean, it doesn't stick to system. It's saved to data. So if you flash a data file from a backup with an older version, your back to that version. With my old phone, we could swap Roms after an update all day, and the baseband and firmware updates would stick every time.

How to backup & restore my favorite apps

Running with OnePlus one. I'm still at the ROM & Device discovery stage. Trying custom ROMs and constantly reinstalling my apps. I'm not comfortable using Cloud BackUp or Google Sync.
What I would like to do is to create a backup of My favorite apps & contacts to store on Slackware box, that I can restore onto whatever ROM I choose to try on my OnePlus one but don't know how.
Need to know will a backup using TWRP, of System, Data, Boot, Cache will Restore my Contacts and Apps?
Also, can I remove Google Calendar, and Cloud Notes from ColorOS ver 2.0.6i.US_Fun rom? If yes, how? So I'm looking at Titanium Backup Free versioin, Ultimate Backup Free, App Backup & Restore Free, Easy Backup & Restore, System app remover, Super Backup: SMS & Contacts?
Yes, I'm rooted, have TWRP installed, ADB & Fastboot, Busybox is installed, ES File manager, & Terminal Emulator. If I can achieve what I want to do with software that is installed instead of downloading more, please just tell me how. I have searched this forum and read but I still need direction.
Thank you.

[SOLVED] Titanium Backup (v8.2.2) Keeps Refusing to Restore Settings Configuration

SOLVED
Hey guys,
I'm trying to restore my previous Titanium Backup configuration on my Note 8, on which I just clean-installed the latest DevBase ROM. Normally, I just backup the following folder in order to save Titanium Backup's configuration for later restore, then after the ROM is installed, I restore the folder, install Titanium Backup and everything is restored:
sdcard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\​
However, for some reason, the latest version doesn't seem to be restoring from the backup. Any suggestions on what to do to fix it? Really need this my configurations to quickly restore my Note 8 back to normal. Thanks in advance.
Haha can't believe I'm not the only one. Was already buzzing authors but for now no reply. Up until now that always worked. But now since yesterdays flash it doesn't any more. I've been trying to make it work since then without any success. Is your ROM PIE based?
What's even worse for me, i also tried cleaning everything and fresh install TiBu without any settings. I've made a new label, attached an app or two to that label. Then I selected in preferences I want to sync settings, TiBu created /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup with corresponding files. After I uninstall and reinstall TiBu first nice surprise is that it force closes. It will not work until I delete /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup, after that program starts but it never restores it's settings from /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup
I've tried few PIE roms and never managed to find a working sollution. Thinking of going back to Oreo just to test this out then to scream at TiBu makers if it suddenly decided to crap on us. Oh I've also tried old tibu versions. even cracked ones, since I do posses original bought key for TiBu.

Yeah, experienced EXACTLY the same issues. I figured out a solution to the problem though; on first install of Titanium Backup, DO NOT OPEN IT YET, instead, MANUALLY grant it its app permissions via Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup, place your settings folder in the com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder like normal, then launch Titanium Backup. Here's a detailed step by step process:
1. Ensure you still have a proper backup of the Titanium Backup settings folder, then uninstall Titanium Backup AND Titanium Backup Pro Key (if you also purchased it)
2. Install a root file system app (like Total Commander) from the Play Store, launch it, and navigate to and delete the following folders:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
+
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
AND (if you also purchased it)
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro​This will ensure you start off like it's your first time installing the app, and will avoid any crashes due to whatever conflicts.
3. Restore your backed-up Titanium Backup settings folder to the following directory:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup​
4. Re-install Titanium Backup (and Titanium Backup Pro key, if you purchased it). DO NOT OPEN IT YET!! Otherwise, you'll have to repeat steps 1. to 3. above
5. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup and manually enable its app Permissions (at least Storage, but I'd recommend enabling ALL of them like I did)
6. Vuala, now you can launch Titanium Backup, grant it SU permission, and it'll recognize the backup like it should ​
Hope that helps

How backup and restore WhatsApp (no Gapps) and everythi9ng else?

I have one Rom installed on my phone and it's already not the original one. I want to install the latetest version of a different one (from Ressurraction to CrDroid). I know how to do it and I know that I will have to format everything.
I don't have google drive or any google services installed. I do have access to a computer where I could just push and pull things with adb.
All my apps are form F-Droid, except for a few that I've manually downloaded, such as WhatsApp.
So, I have a few questions:
1. How do I fully backup WhatsApp so that I can restore it again, after formatting everything? When I follow WhatsApp instructions it just doesn't work: I receive a message that the backup could not be restored. Is there a way to make sure it would work? Maybe even backing up everything with another program?
2. Is there a way to back up all other APPs and data and everything installed and restore it in the new Android release? I've tried to manually use adb push/pull but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance
For instance, under GNU/Linux you can generate an archive of your /home/user directory and extract it in your new computer and ALL your data from all installed apps will be restored just fine. You might need to reinstall all apps again, but the data will be there!
How to do something like that on Android?
You give me the impression that you have Magisk
Simply use Migrate app to backup all applications , contacts , call logs and messages , this should be enough if you are only installing new ROM
But if you are wiping the whole internal storage ethen
Also manually copy The WhatsApp , DCIM,Document ,Download,Pictures and other important folder to your PC via MTP and restore them
