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
I was wondering if i could flash this VRZ_XT875_5.7.983.xt875.Verizon.en.US_cfc_01.xml.zip using Safestrap (in Safe mode) so i can have a Stock Rooted Rom without the bloatware. I dont want to delete the bloatware in my Non-safe system because i want to be able to update if the send any OTA updates for it. Has anyone tried this?
Not a good idea!
Why don't you just buy Titanium Backup Pro from the Market and freeze all the bloatware? That way when a OTA is available all you have to do is unfreeze the bloat.
I thought about that. If you freeze it its still there right?
My thing is, I dont like opening my app drawer and seeing a bunch of useless apps that i have to scroll through to find the one im looking for.
Try a new launcher that lets you exclude apps from the app drawer (as opposed to Blur, which to my knowledge only lets you include apps into categories).
I used to use LauncherPro, which has that exclude functionality. There are other launchers that work better with rooted phones though.
Alright i will try that. Thanks guys for the different suggestions. Very much Appreciated!

Freezing keeps them on the phone but not seen in the app drawer. You can also create a new folder in the app drawer and just put in what you want to see, the open the app drawer to that folder.
just do a back up in recovery before you delete anything so when you want to do an ota update you can just restore to the backup.
I got the s5 Active and recently rooted and flashed safestrap. I was wondering what the best way to remove the bloat from the stock rom was? Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you want to do. You can install a ROM that is bloatware free, freeze apps with Titanium Backup, or you can manually uninstall them.
For the first option you would just have to search for a bloat free ROM such as the one I'm running: Extreme Debloat.
For the second option, you would root your phone, install Titanium Backup, and just go down the list freezing one application at a time until you're satisfied. (I only specifically froze the AT&T apps in my app drawer, nothing outside of that).
For the last option, there are a few applications that you just run and they uninstall a "list" of bloatware. I don't remember where I saw it, but the application was made by someone on XDA.
I'd just use TiBu and remove what you want instead of a ROM that someone else decided what stays and goes as a lot of stuff is dependent on other stuff
Thanks for the help guys.
I am contemplating giving up my root to update to 5.1.1. But I need some advice, on what apps I can use to backup and restore all my apps with app data without root. Also, what apps can I use to remove bloatware without root? These are my two main reasons for root. Thanks

There is no app that will remove bloatware without root. As far as backups go, your best bet would be helium backup,

I think your only option would be to go into application manager and just disable the things you don't want to use. However, there is a finite list of apps you can disable.
Hey there,
I have been trying to debloat my phone but whenever i uninstall AVG the phone can not boot to the system. I am on the latest firmware 47.2.A.11.228 and i am uninstalling apps using Titanium Backup. My phone is also unlocked and Magisk is my root of choice.

Son of a *****! This always happened to me when I've installed Pie but hadn't pinpointed it to this app, I thought it was just Pie being glitchy with TB so have stuck with Oreo. Might give Pie another whirl this week and try and figure that out.

Actually I found out that other people had a similar problem and it's just best to freeze AVG.
One other thing I found out is that if you plan on using Gmail app you need to keep Chrome browser at least frozen. If you delete it Gmail won't work.
Weird I didn't come across this when I removed it. I deleted the AVG folder from system apps via TWRP though and not from TB.
