I think there is a way to use your AppBrain account to restore all of your apps onto a new phone... no data, though.

I think most phone solutions (TiBU for example) require root to backup your applications.
But.. if you had Froyo the market remembers the apps you downloaded and you could've re-downloaded from the market
Of course... you would then have to root/download a leaked Froyo ROM that didn't currently toast your Android ID.
...... shoot just check out app-brain - if that doesn't work I think you'll be hosed.. just write down what apps you downloaded and re-download when you get your new phone.

Thanks for the advise...I'll try

have you tried MyBackup Pro from the market?? its $4 i believe and you can backup w/o having root, although if you do decide to root it has more advanced backup features

[Q] How do I get the stock android keyboard?

I recently flashed the cognition v2.3b4 rom and restored everything, but I cant restore the stock keyboard even though I backed it up. This happened to the live wallpapers too but my main concern is the keyboard.

U might be able to pull the apk off an older rom that contains samsung keyboard and use adb to install it.

[Q] SMS Apps not compatible with liberty rom?

So i have looked for handcent sms and go sms in the market and they do not appear...i got a link to the app in the market and on the top there is a bar that says the app is not compatible with your device? Is this a known issue?

I know there's been some market issues with liberty but I've been using go sms with it. I haven't had to download it since its been in my backup but it works fine, i'd assume if you can get the apk and side load it you'd have a work around.

i install it using titanium backup too but when i go to the market i am able to find it and actually just installed the 11/1 update. (Go SMS)

The latest Liberty fixes Market issues supposedly.

yes but you should be backing everything up so i don't see why it matters. backup, wipe, flash, reboot, restore, reboot, and youre right back where you left off.
Edit: I think he has a patch in the thread as well if you really don't want to flash the new ROM, but like i said its pretty quick and painless if you use Titanium

[Q] Anyway to "link" and apk installed app to the market ?

Kind of a weird question but if I install an application from an apk, how can I "link it" so it shows as installed in the market and get auto updates?
I am planning to flash my rom and i have d/l quite a few apps that I want to avoid d/l again (internet not so good in our part of the world) so just using apk to install would be much faster
thanks

Titanium Backup can recreate market links. It's called "Attach to Market (forced)". I don't know if the free version can do it or if it's only the pro version, but either way, it's a really great app and totally worth the money if you go for the pro version. It does require root, though.

Market will make the links automatically as soon you login.
Be aware that some apk's you collected can be incompatible with particular device.

thank you both for the quick reply
I do have titanium backup free I will check this
Deaad you mean there is nothing to do ? all apps are taken from my current ROM (Stock) running on the note

I think that I missed your question.
If you need to flash a rom make a CWM backup first in case of emergency.
In case you need to wipe first than you need also a titanium backup.

XDA app not on market???

I have started to set up my old G1 as a back up phone to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and one of the apps i want to install is XDA Premium but i can not find it. Please note that i have just recently rotted my G1, in the process to install custom recovery and update radio. Any suggestions?

untill you upgrade you may not find it, some apps won't work or even show up in the market on older roms, I assume you are donut and probably need to get to either eclaire or froyo before it will show
alternatively you can try a google search for the .apk and manually load it, it may fail but worth a shot
