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

I flash a lot. I'm getting sick of manually reinstalling apps. I used mybackup pro but it seems like it would forget apps. Right now I'm using AppBrain. Is there any way to back up all apps then reinstall them from the back up and have them run like nothing ever happened?
android should install them automatically once you link your phone with your google account. Other then that not that I know of, unless you move all apps to sdcard.
I think it only does that on the stock rom.
nope, did it for CM6 and Enomthers rom (sorry i cant remember how to spell it)

I would love to switch out the stock ROM on my VZW Galaxy Tab.
My question is, how do I save all of my app data?
I don't care about downloading in reinstalling apps from the marketplace

Install Titanium Backup and backup all your user data.
Just open Titanium Backup and go to menu and then Batch. Here you can see how it works.
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.

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
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.

Hi ppl
Is there any way to have all apps installed the way it was before switching to a new rom ? I mean when I try out new roms I have to install all apps again. I've tried my backup pro and titanium but they only restore all apps. Anyone has a faster way of doing this??

I'm using MyBackup root therefor. Here you can restore all apps with the data in batch mode. But I think MyBackup pro should also do it.
Did u backup your apps along with all their data? There is an option in Titanium Backup to do so in the batch option. I still have my high scores of Temple Run
MyBackup Pro seems to be the best bet considering Titanium does create issues for some folks.
But do remember restoring apps can produce errors in the working of the ROM which otherwise wouldn't exist.
Safest best is to clean instal your apps again.
Tx guys but I cannot get all apps installed . It only restores them with their respective data. I don't wanna install all apps again one by one after flashing a new rom

Titanium backup has a batch restore mode where you can restore more than one app at a time. If this is not what you mean, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I haven't used titanium but I'll check it out. Just to make sure do the apps get installed or just restored? I mean do I have to hit the install button for every app?

Listen buddy, this is a community here. Respect others to get respect for yourself.
Your posts are quite inconsistent.
In the same thread, at the start of the post you mentioned you have used Titanium & a couple of posts later you state you HAVE NOT yet used titanium.
with incorrect/incomplete info no one would be able to assist you correctly & your frustration levels are going to rise.
@letmedanz I didn't mean to disrespect anyone but the way nonverbose responded wasn't cool.
Anyway what I meant when I said I used titanium was that I installed it and removed it within minutes. But I'm not here to prove anything so am gonna forget it and apologize to whoever I offended.

That's cool buddy..
Anyhow, a couple of options are available...
at most times when you install a fresh rom, android automatically installs the apps you had on earlier.
This happens when you run the new rom for the first time, in the initial setup.
Provided you have synced your phone with your gmail account.
once you provide your wifi and/or apn details android will automatically download and instal all the apps.
your second option is as you mentioned, third party apps like titanium & mybackup pro.
personally, i prefer MBP cos titanium has given me more than one problem.
MBP is a neat app, you can either backup/restore all apps or just select a few.
howevre , i still believe it is best to reinstall all apps after a new rom instal, cos restored apps may force close or have other issues specially if you are changing between GB & ICS etc
+1 for Titanium backup !!!
You can backup personnal applications, but their settings and your system settings too !!!
The retore process is quicker than google process because you haven't to download applications from network.
Settings...Image?

I have titanium backup pro and have not figured out how to restore all the settings. Maybe I'm confused, but I have to spend hours setting all the preferences, screens widgets etc each time I flash a new ROM. I've heard you can "Image" backup. Does Titanium do that?
Go backup and go backup pro is best..It don't prompt to install each and every app every time..batch restore with data..easy than titanium backup..

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you post. Titanium backup pro HAS batch restore mode in which you don't have to INDIVIDUALLY install every app.
