I am getting the Evo next week and im wondering, I have app monster on my hero, if I copy my files from my hero SD card to my Evo SD card, will I be able to get all my apps back through app monster?

Use titanium backup to archive the apps on one phone, copy directory from hero to evo, recover apps on evo.
I think that should work, but I don't know if AppMonster preserves market links, meaning after you install them they might not be scanned by the Android market for easy updates and integration.
If you're rooted, Titanium Backup is the most preferred, as it preserves not only the app installs and market links, but also app data and settings. It's free, too. Of course don't back up the system data since it's going to a different phone.
Alright imma download titanium and use that instead. Thanks a lot!

Subject says it all. I'm looking at flashing Cognition but I'm hesitant if I will lose all saved games. I have titanium backup but have only used it to removed at&t bloatware. Can I use that to backup saves? And if so.. how?

I use titanium backup and it has always restored my Angry Birds' saved games... I was three star-ing everything so I wasn't about to flash and lose it all either HAHA. I say use TiBu and you should be fine, though there are anomalies and I am not responsible for any lost saved games haha
Is there a "how-to" for titanium backup?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
TiBu -> Menu -> Batch -> Backup all user apps
Flash ODIN
Flash new rom (you can click wipe data, it doesnt delete your sd card stuff, in fact, i recommend it)
Install TiBu (if your rom doesn't have it included)
TiBu -> Menu -> Batch -> Restore all apps with data
Click install, install, install. Done.
If you're really anal (which i was for a while), put in an external sd card and copy the titaniumbackup folder from your root folder to the external sd card and then take it out. lol
Ah sweet. So if I'm understanding those steps... the internal sd card is not treated like internal ROM storage that is wiped when you flash your phone?

No, but if you did, for instance, an Odin 3 one click back to stock, and clicked the master clear button, or if you do a factory reset, etc., that would wipe the internal SD card. So, if your ocd like me, connect to your pc and mount the SD card, and transfer everything on it to the PC hard disk. Then repeat that whenever you're going to flash. Just in case, you know.
Backup all user apps or backup all user apps + system data?

Do all backup stuff. You can later select what to restore. You can go in and just restore browser favorites if you want.

All my apps that were on the SD card had their links broken even though the SD card was still fine.
So I wiped my install and started resetting things. One of my first steps was to reinstall Titanium Backup but my app list doesn't rebuild. If I install an app from the market, TB then connects that app to the backup history. I can restore data or old backups thereafter.
Anyone know how I can get TB to build my app list without having to manually install from the market?
Yes, I own the pro version.

I've been using Titanium Backup pro for 3 months and haven't met such problem... do a disk error check for your SD card Fat32 partition in windows, see if it finds any problem.
Did you backup those apps using another version of Titanium Backup? I wonder if there was compatibility problem across older and newer Titanium Backup versions.
I'm fairly new at this rooting thing, I initially rooted stock, and then went on to a custom rom someone on the board made. However, I'd like to play with other ones, but I don't want to have to reinstall my apps every time. Is there a recommended way to backup, and what exactly should I be backing up?
I've installed Titanium Backup and backed up most of my apps that way, is that the preferred method and all I really need to do?
Thanks!!

I had a bad experience with using the "Backup" and "Restore" options in Recovery completely destroying my Nook's boot partition, so I'd personally stick with Titanium Backup. I paid for it, and it was well worth it. This let's me install any ROM and with literally a single tap, all my apps are reinstalled.
Titanium Backup is just amazing. It's probably one of (if not THE) the most useful apps ever for anyone who frequents XDA. And free, if you don't mind tapping for each app. Just don't restore system files etc (ie the "red" colored apps).
Depending on which recovery you are using, you may have to use the accompanying kernel...

Q I installed Titanium Backup and it is driving me nuts, it creates the folder on my SD card, says it's complete, but the folder is empty. I tried just the apps, apps and system, but still the folder is empty. The notification note says complete with the time, but still an empty folder even after I deleted it before a new backup.
Auto-nooter 3
Uninstalled TB, and reinstalled it, works fine now. Must have been a flakey install.
I find appbrain the easiest solution to reinstall my apps. Then if necessary, use titanium to restore data.

Personally I run all my ROMs from a MicroSD card. This way I don't have to worry about screwing up my Nook and I can pop the Card into my PC and use "dd" to make Images and Flash them back. It makes switching ROMs quick and easy and if I decide I like the New ROM I can use Titanium Backup to mass Restore(Pro key needed) all my Apps. If I don't like the ROM or if something bad happens I can just "dd" a Backed Up Image to get my my Old Install back and it's like I never switched ROMs. Aaahhh.... Life is good.
PS: I keep Two cards, One for my Everyday ROM, and the Other for Testing.

I have been using Atrix 2 and just bought Atrix HD. I want to transfer some of my apps and backed-up data from Atrix 2 to HD. I've backed-up all data to SD card from 2 and now I can't restore any of those data to HD from same SD card. When I browse the SD card with ASTRO, I don't see any of backed-up data from Atrix 2. Anyone know whta's going on....?
Please help.....
thanks
Try backing up one level and going into "external1" - that's the external sd card.

How do I do that?
You might need a different file explorer if Astro can't see the root directory /.
You need /mnt/external1/ for the actual microSD.

If you downloaded all your apps from market, all you have to do is login to your google account from the play store and it will start downloading and re installing all your apps

Thanks for that advice :good: but it’s not the apps that I need to transfer… I need to transfer data on apps. i.e. msecure, I have all these login information for different websites, when I do “restore from SD” it does not see any of my backed up data.
Also, does anyone use apps called ES Security Manager or Seal? How can I get any of these apps to lock specific apps I need. Does the phone has to be rooted for these apps to work?
Thanks in advance….

I can only comment on mSecure. I use the Dropbox sync, using the same password on each device, to keep my devices all synced with the same data.
If the apps don't give you an option to change storage location, then we're out of luck since Moto has once again changed the main storage path.

I thought it was generally not a good idea to transfer/restore app data from GB (A2) to ICS (AHD)?

I think app data is fine. I've always been told that it's system data that you don't want to backup and restore.
Currently on a stock 2.3 rooted Incredible and waiting on the Verizon Htc One. My only concern (besides rooting) is transferring old save game data from the Inc to the One.
Will this be as easy as putting my Titanium Backup folder on internal storage of the One and just hitting restore to get my data to transfer or will I have to jump through hoops?

Yep, but depending on the game it may store data differently for 4.0+ versus 2.3 (I doubt it tho )
Your game might also save saved data to the SD rather than to /data. So titanium backup might not even be needed (but I can't be sure if that is the case)
