like the title says, can I restore Apps+Data without rooting, or do i lose all data, settings, scores in games etc.
I've tried searching it, and using Astro, and MyBackup. Anyone?

I'm having a lot of issues with Froyo and I want to format the phone and reinstall it. However I was wondering if it was possible for me to restore the data for the application that I installed. I'm talking about things like high scores on games.

Only if you are rooted.
You can use MyBackup Pro (not free) or Titanium Backup (freeish) to backup app "data"
Settings > accounts/privacy allows for auto restoration of settings and apps, I think it may restore app data as well...
Alright so I've been running Froyo off of SD (version 6.7) and I'm looking to upgrade to 6.8 and at the same time install it to internal memory. My question is what's the best way of going about saving all my files (Saved games in emulators and such) and then restoring them? Does Titanium backup do that or does that just restore the basics and not saves and actual data within the app? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Titanium has multiple options. Just back apps with data and then you can decide how you want to restore them. At restore time, you can choose to just restore app or app and data.
Hi,
ok, so I've read a bit, but I want to clarify.
My wife's O2X has poor battery life, starts lagging terribly after few days, reboots sometimes, locks up sometimes, etc.
So I want to try new ROMs. Most of them.
I've already root'ed the phone.
What I would prefer is to keep contacts, messages, sync settings, wifi settings, bookmarks, photos, and, preferably applications along with their data. I know this is much to ask.
For contacts, we sync them to here Google account, so that's somewhat safe.
But for others?
I've read about Titanium backup, that it does wonders. My question, however is, does Titanium backup work only for SAME ROM? E.g., if I flash from stock to CM7 or BD, can I still restore the backup?
Does it backup/restore applications themselves, just the data?
thanks, and sorry if this was stupid.
Hi,
Titanium backup will backup your application with data (if selected).
Restoring apps to other roms should be okay, I did that before.. but I didn't try to restore contacts from one rom to another before. Cm7 is different from stock rom, so im not sure if can restore contacts and messages.
But if you use sprite backup, it can backup and restore from one rom to another without problems. Only that the options are very limited comparing to Titanium backup. It is included with Modaco roms.
Cheers!
titanium backup can restore apps from one rom to an other if the app is compatible. ive done it a lot.
not sure about all messages and such but ive seen some apps on the market that can do it. just search for backup and you get a ton of apps for backing up different stuff.

If you want to backup all what you mention in one motion, a good idea is to perform a clockwork mod backup.
And to use Appextractor in the paid version: it can restore apps + data, wifi settings, messages, and many other things.
The main issue is the size of the backup, as it is a complete and total backup of the all the system, around 700MB for me.
But doing this you have 2 things for the price of one.
Besides that way there is no app that can do all you want in one motion.
About compatibility, backups should be compatible with other ROM except for specific data perhaps.
Hello!
The best available BackUp solution for contacts, SMS, calendar data etc. is MyPhoneExplorer.

Best App for backup of apps is Titanium Backup – as already mentioned.
thank you all very much.
I've got all the info I've needed.
Got the ICS OTA update. Liking it, but read hear and on other forums a Factory default result is recommended to clear/clean up remnants
from Gingerbread. I dont know who it works, but since I've downloaded and tried hundreds of other apps, I bet they have remnants laying around also.
I've rooted my phone (razs_edge)
I've installed the free version of Titanium Backup and ran a backup with system data + all apps +data
I've about to due the FDR. Should I also wipe the internal SD card? or just the FDR?
Once FDR is done, should I actually restore EVERYTHING. or will that restore to much?
I just want plain system data back, and they the apps that I really want to keep.
which restore method do you suggest?
The best way to restore after an FDR is to let your apps restore from the Market. Most will restore automatically, the rest you can restore manually. The only things I would restore from a TiBu would be data from user apps like games, or things like bookmarks. Restoring System apps and most system data is a good way to mess up your clean FDR. Your sd-ext is not wiped by an FDR, but I think the internal sdcard is. Just back it up to the computer before the FDR so you can restore any of it if necessary. All your gmail and gcontacts will be back on sync if you've set 'Back up my data' and 'Automatic restore' under settings > Backup and reset.

Great reply! Thanks.
I know contacts and calendar and stuff will be restored from Google servers. Not sure how important to me they are,
but are SMS messages restored from Google. or do I restore those manually via TiBu? I glaced at the 270ish entries and nothing jumped
out at being the one for SMS messages.
Thanks.
Sorry, forgot about sms because I use Google Voice and they stay in the cloud (and remain available) unless I delete them. I think there is an app in Play Market that will backup/restore your messages. I think TiBu can do that also, but I'm not sure which setting does that.
Edit: In TiBu, if you touch the 'folder' thing at the top right, and choose to backup all user apps + data, you can select 'Messages(SMS & MMS)' to back them up.

Great thanks. I didnt know what the sms/mms was called. If I had scrolled through the list slower I would have seen the green font
(must be for system apps and/or data) names messages (sms/mms). so it does appear to save those.
still very new to TiBu. I'll learn. Thanks for the help.
My wife's note was acting up so we wiped it and backed up the apps using something from the play store - unfortunately, the backup was just of the apps themselves and not the data -_-
Her phone was unrooted so could not use titanium backup. We reset everything but upon "restoring" the apps, we realized no data was backed up.
How can I go about recovering the "wiped" data? Mainly the whatsapp stuff...
Thanks in advanced!
p.s. this is internal memory not on sdcard
When signing into whatsapp, don't the conversations and contacts reappear?
