I've been using Titanium Backup for the past few years, but I don't won't to root my M8. Is there a similar app you guys recommend in the Google Play Store that will backup my apps + data w/out me having to root my device?

Isn't there a non-rooted version of titanium Backup that would backup all your downloaded apps? If not there are plenty of apps out there. My backup for one
I think Helium may work but you need a computer if the phone isn't rooted.

I used to use MyBackup a lot, though I used the root version. It works, but it's not as easy at the HTC Backup.
I've had good luck with HTC Backup linked to Dropbox and/or Drive. However, it doesn't always restore ALL of my apps. It consistently leaves off about 5 or so with each restore. I have no idea why. It's not biggie as I can just download them manually. I like that it restores my homescreens including widgets and it restores all my saved wifi locations.

Nandroid doesn't restore apps. Market does. Or Titanium Backup, or Astro File Manager. If you're on a Froyo rom, market should immediately begin restoring apps as soon as you log into your gmail account. Always make sure you answer yes to all the prompts when logging into your gmail account, as that is what syncs market, contacts, etc.
Can someone recommend a good app for backing up data and apps? I found several programs that backed up apps, and I finally found one or two that supposedly backed up settings and data. I decided I could save time by asking here. I miss my old Resco Backup program for Windows Mobile.
Thanks

The apps are limited in what they can do without root. If we get a real root solution then you have a couple of options. titanium is the one I use only because I paid for it years ago. There are others people recommend of Titanium.
MyBackup and Titanium Backup are your friends, but both function better with full root.

Backup by rycovery.
Go to rycovery menu/advance/backup
If you want retore.
Goto rycovery menu/advance/retore
Or advance retore/retore data, retore boot, retore system.
You can use my backup pro.

Thanks. I looked at My Backup Pro. It looks like what I want - both data and apps.
well i just restored my email data and now getting FC's.
Titanium Backup will be your best friend
+1 for Titanium. Data and app backup, sync to dropbox, all kinds of useful batch scripts.

If you buy titanium you have the batch restore facility, so it's a one tap operation but still takes a while to restore then all

Try mybackup root

App2zip creats a flashable zip via recovery but some apps may FC.
Titanium backup is the best. If you pay for the apk it has batch processing. You don't have to do the restoration one by one.
Sent from my GT-I9001
try GoBackup from Market.
Try AppBackup & Restore or Clickfree
so, just that.
Great phone, now I'm about to throw away my tablet (I used to think my Tegra2 was the best there is)
Now I just whant my Iron Man 3 progress there on my phone.
Asphalt 8 is also desirable
And root to get to use SixAxis!

Data sync from the play store. Must be rooted and have both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. You can choose to move data or app and data. Obviously, the bigger it is the longer it'll take.
Edit: guess you can sync to the cloud now. That's cool. I might use it more.

Thanks for the reply. But it requires root and that's something I still dont have on mi X
You can use helium to do that, even w/out root. Just need to hook the phone up to the computer with the helium desktop app running and you should be able to pull the data then from your old phone and put it on the new phone with the app.
+1 for helium, it works great!

BusyBox
I was going to use the DataSync app to copy a few app data files for games,
but I couldn't get DataSync to start on my Moto X because BusyBox wasn't
installed. I've tried two or three of the BusyBox installers on the Play
Store but all have failed to install. My old phone is a Droid X-2 and is
rooted with BusyBox and ready to use the DataSync app. Has anyone got
BusyBox to install on the Moto X? Should I change the install folder? I
don't have much experience with BusyBox other than installing it on my X-2
for some app. I may just try the Helium desktop app for the app data copy
but I would like to know about BusyBox in case it's needed later. DataSync says it does work with the Motorola phones but I'll try it anyway. Thanks.

Busy box installed fine for me... Have you tried normal install vs smart install? Not sure how much of a difference it'll make but if you haven't, at least it'll be something new to try.. Works both ways for me and I've never had to change the location.
I always had issues getting data back on certain apps with helium. Must just be me, I hear great things about it, anyway, data sync is just something I'm more familiar with. Easier too.. At least for me. But yes, busy box has worked for me on stock rooted, stock rooted SS, and TMo port to VZW.

I read somewhere to boot to recovery so the r/w permissions were off. Once I did that and BusyBox installed with no problem. Also, DataSync worked awesome and was super easy. I uploaded the two apps to the other detected device no problem.
Can anyone confirm that any of these methods work on iron man 3? I've tried titanium backup and my backup pro in the past and the game days never synced. Always had to completely restart the game...

The helium method works for sure. I've used it on many apps and games to transfer settings / progress. Used it on 4 different devices so far with out problem.

I think you might need to enable a setting when you're using the backup to install. There should be an option to either just install the app, or to install the app and all previous data. I think. Sorry if it wasn't too helpful; I haven't used Titanium for a year now.

Hi guys I'm another user in search of transfer game progress from Iron Man 3.
I tried many applications like Helium, Titanium Backup (with a nandroid backup), My backup Root and nothing works for me.
Always Iron Man 3 reset to begining (tutorial)
I´m not tried DataSync, but i'm not sure is working or not
Anyone please confirm any method for sure ??
Many thanks in advance for
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Chile XD
I also tried to change my Device ID (with the same as the old S3) and nothing happens again!!
And I tried to do a Nandroid Backup, choose the game Iron Man 3 and restored it with Titanium Backup Pro (I purchased it) and nothing again!!
I usually go into /data/data and pull its directory. That is where saved games and settings are typically stored.

Thanks smokedkill, I was able to transfer using files from /sdcard/Android/obb/ and /data/data. This was a test from a new setup with a small score. I will update once I have some more achievements in the game.
I'm trying the Pure CE Rom...and up on trying to restore with titanium backup, it seems to install between 5 and 30 apps and then freezes.. I've tried copying my backup files to my internal storage, and am getting the same problem.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions?

It's not wise to batch restore apps between different roms. You're experiencing an incompatibility of apps between 2 different roms. If you watch your batch restore process you can see what app is not restoring. Uncheck that app and repeat the batch process until it hangs on another incompatible app. Uncheck that one and repeat the process until it finally completes.
Some tips for ya. NEVER restore system apps. They are red in color. You may experience bugs or glitches. Some apps that are yellow like bookmarks, Wi-Fi passwords, etc won't restore all the time. Some white apps that you previously installed on say a 4.3 rom may not restore on a 4.4 rom properly. Bugs or glitches may occur. Titanium backup works best when restoring to the same rom. If you experience bugs or glitches, perform a factory reset and refrain from restoring apps and data together. For the best experience, let all the apps install themselves from the Play Store. Then batch restore data to the apps that NEED data restored.
I'm already on 4.4... so I would think they would all be compatible... plus I just start ttb over, and the app that it froze on installs fine..
