So, i've tried to restore my market apps after a factory rest and flashign a new rom, it never works, no matter if i use a custom or a stock rom, when i enter the market, i can't restore the apps i had, having hundreds of apps installed, manually doing them all, is a pain...
does anyone know of any app that can do this? or if there is some way to confgure the phone or market to do it?
Use titanium, available in the market. Thank me!
Edit...by pro version for batch reinstall,pps...u shouldn't be flashing roms if you don't know about backing up and restoring!

Titanium Backup is the app you want. It will store all your apps and app data in a folder on your SD...so that when you reinstall a new ROM, or factory reset, it pulls all the info back out of that folder.
While it will save and restore all your apps, the free version requires you to click "Yes" and "Done" to install each app, where the paid version will let you do it as a batch....yes to all, done.
And if you haven't rooted, AppMonster is a good alternative..

I know how to backup and restore, and i know titanium and it's not what i want...
i want a market restore, if install from titanium (which doesn't work across different OS versions) the apps are local isntalls and the market won't pass me updates from them, what i want is to have an app that reinstalls everything from the market so i can get update notifications, and so the restore will work regardless of what OS version i happen to flash into the phone.

If you want to restore market links you need to be rooted

Android comes with an option that when you sign into your Google account on your phone that all you market apps restore on their own but Samsung removed this option, so TIBU is your only hope, or appmonster

If your Market app does not detect re-installed apps, you can clear the Market app data at "Manage Applications" menu. This will trigger the Market app to rescan your apps..
Happened to me before and that did the trick.
Titanium backup has allowed me over the years to go from 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 2.0 -> 2.1 -> 2.2 -> 2.3 while changing handsets quite happily, so not sure why the OP thinks it cannot.
I did have to purge market cache and data once or twice, but as long as I remembered to run market access first its never failed to reattach or relearn what was installed post restoration.
Also found Joel (the author) to be helpful and responsive the once or twice I had a problem via emails ...

You have to enable backup data. Go to Settings>Privacy. After fresh installation ROM, you have to sign in Google account. After a while, your apps will appear.

Same happens to me. Have done several FR and even switched phone, but it has never worked (the standard from Google). Any suggestions?
As far as I observed:
The google way only works on AOSP-ROMs (Cyanogen).
Samsung disabled the option (just not in UI *fail*).
Restoring data across OS-versions does not work 100%. System-settings often work, system apps hardly ever work, Other apps sometimes make problems (Angry Birds never works for me).
With Titanium restoring completely breaks when switching from CM7 to a Samsung-ROM or vice versa
So I have S-OFF'ed and rooted my phone, and used Ti Backup to backup all my apps before wiping and flashing a new ROM (both CM7 and ARHD).
When I go to market, it doesn't show all the apps I used to have downloaded except paid ones. Yes I did sync account data.
Ok... no problem I will restore from Ti. Nope, still doesn't appear on the installed app list in market after doing so.
Hence, my question is, how do I restore this list? Without it, I won't know if my apps have updates, which is important.
This may be an obvious question and I may just be missing something stupidly important, but I wish someone would be kind enough to provide the answer thanks!
I am trying to restore my Angry Birds data back to my phone but Titanium Backup is saying i cannot restore. So i did some poking around on the internet and found out that the Captivate does not have Sideloading enabled. So I try to follow method 1 of this how to but i ran into a Problem with SQLite.
It gives the following error: qAdmin: Cannot perform this operation on a closed dataset.
I am running Team ICSSGS Android 4.0.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19680233#post19680233 with the stock Gingerbread bootloaders for the Samsung Captivate.

Hmm... the fact that you are using a custom rom, ICSSGS, means that you have root access and all the benefits that come with it... such as installing apps that are not available on the market or is not designed specifically for your specific handset by sideloading... so this feature, sideloading, that you are concerned about is definitely available with the rom you are using. Make sure that you have the "Unknown Sources" turned on. That will make the sideloading possible on your Captivate. Go to Setting->Security->Unknown Sources.
The fact that you are having issues restoring data for your game app is not related to the sideloading issues.
Have you wiped user data, Dalvik cache and cache when you flashed the rom? I am not sure if TIBU is having issues with the ICSSGS, but I have restored many apps using TIBU without issues...
Good luck.

Thanks. I was able to restore Angry Birds and continue to play!
Evening All.
I have not long since got my HTC One (UK version of it makes any difference).
It is S-Off, bootlooader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery but currently running stock firmware. I've had a play with ARHD and liked it. However it's a bit of a nause having to re download apps every time I update. The internet were I am is very slow so this takes time.
I know backup solutions exist however I get conflicting reports about the apps. Having come from an iPhone (which I still use as a work phone) I am looking for a backup solution that with either a brand new phone or a factory reset and a new/custom Rom I just hit restore and it puts all my apps data and settings as it was when I backed up. Including things like my layout in widget locker and nova launcher.
I was going to be using helium but then read that you still have to download the APK for all the apps again from Google so that seems a pretty defunct choice.
It's there an app which will backup my phone, I can remove this to my laptop. Then factory reset, reinstall the app (I'm assuming you have to do this) and then I put the backup back on the phone and restore it?
Cloud options are no use due to the slow internet.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.
Carl.

I use ES File Explorer to backup all the app apk's and HTC backup to my google drive for settings / mms / contacts/ etc
Titanium Backup
Hey,
My HTC One is a GPE device and is currently running version 5.1. I would like to switch over to CM 12.1.
What is the best way to keep all settings after the ROM has been installed? It's recommended to clear all caches and data while installing CM, so all settings are gone.
I would like to keep all the settings and configurations like: accounts, bluetooth devices, wifi networks, apps settings,.... As much as possible.
The device is not rooted and I can't change it, because some applications I need for work stop working when the device is rooted.
Is Titanium Backup a possibility? Are there other (and better) ways?
Thx,
W.

Since you can not root the phone then you should not put a custom ROM on the phone since most will root your phone. Also, Titanium Backup requires root.
