I hate it when all apps are removed to change ROM. I want to try Nik's JB and I dont want apps to be removed whatsapp....
try Ultimate Backup Tool for non-rooted and Titanium Backup for rooted
In this case it should be enough to do a nandroid backup. You can test JB and if you finished testing, you just restore your old stuff. The JB ROM is amazing but it's not a daily driver yet so it's kinda needless to install all your apps on it
I backed some using titanium but how how to restore them?
What about the backup and and restore on the recovery? What is that used for?

After backing up with titanium on your old rom
Download titanium on your new rom and you can re-install, but beware that restoring data from different roms may cause FC's
Can you set Titanium to only restore the apks, no data and cache? That should avoid most issues I suppose?
The interface is a little ... busy... so I havent really given it a go yet.

Buy the premium version of titanium backup then you can batch install apps instead of installing one at a time.

Yep. What I usually do, is go on the batch section click restore app, and choose app only. And then use app+data for my games, so I don't lose my scores and saves.
You could always restore the data partition from your old ROMs nandroid backup. Works for me.
For rooted phone, I'd suggest Go Backup.
Titanium Backup is much more powerful, but some essential features, like batch backup/restore, require paid version. And it loads pretty slowly on my Incredible S.
Go Backup offers backing up both apps and their data, as well as SMS/call log/contacts/wi-fi access points. Go dev team has recently added backup merging feature, which works fine either.
Today I installed 4.1.1-based ROM from Nikhil, downloaded Go Backup from the Market, ran backup restoration and voila, in 5 minutes I got all my apps back, including paid ones.
This app is constantly being updated, which is also a weighty argument (at least for me).

That seems like a great idea, anything not to do, or just copy and place..

I'm using 4ext, I just choose advanced restore and choose data partition.
So if I restore my ROM from a previous backup, it will restore all my apps with data too?

Thanks for the info, when Nicks new roms settle in a bit and I try them again I'm going to try your method.

Is it really the same restoring an app from a backup as from Google play? Market links work and the app is registered by the os, integrated into the share menu (facebook for instance) and so on?
Just trying to learn how android works... Something like that would never work in windows, registry entries would probably break...
Nonverbose can you please explain more about the nandroid backup. I tried titanium and it worked.
I am curious about your method.
Best

nandroid is the backup/restore function in you recovery A nandroid backup will save your COMPLETE ROM with all apps, data and everything else. After a backup you can install whatever you want on your phone and install new things, whatever. And if you had enough, you can restore your backup and your entire phone will be just like when you did the backup It's also a great method to switch between ROMs for example your daily driver (let's say ProjectX) and JB Evolution You can configure both ROMs like you want it, do backups and switch between them The process of backing up/restoring a ROM takes about 5min.
I hope this answered all your questions
Yup I tried this one today but I didnt know it was called nandroid. Thanks
I am currently running CM7 (2013-01-01 nightly) on my Galaxy Ace. When I want to try a new rom I go through the usual steps: make a CWM backup, wipe, flash the new rom, play with it for a while, and then restore my backup to go back to CM7.
Everything works fine, except for one major issue: I can't install apps remotely from the Play Store site after restoring the backup. I click on Install, it says the app will be downloaded to my device shortly, but nothing happens. Wiping and flashing CM7 again fixes it, but that means losing my backups. Is this a known issue? Is there something else I should do after restoring a backup for the Play Store to work correctly again? Thanks!
Can you still login to your GMail account?
Maybe you just have to reconfigure your Google account (and wipe some caches)
Try Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All Apps/find the market app and open it, then force stop the app, then clear catch, clear data, then uninstall updates. Now back out and reopen the market app and then follow the sign in instructions.
Hope this helps.

@ OP : Forget cwm backup. Backup all your data with titanium backup & after a fresh flash, use the " restore data only " option in the titanium backup app.

I'll try that, thanks! If you've restored a Titanium backup before, it'd be awesome if you could check that installing apps from the Play Store site works after the restore. I'm a little weary of losing my CM7 setup again only to fix this issue. Thanks again!

Really speaking, I never use titanium backup as the only things that matter to me on my phone are the contacts & the info I provided earlier was just from a hint of what I had come across before. I can't try it out for you coz I'm currently unrooted. But definitely the data backup should work fine without any issues at all. Just go ahead & try out

Is the Play store installed on your phone? If it isn't you won't be able to dl remotely from the store. If it isn't you will have to find a version of gapps to work with your rom.
I have a rooted HTC One with:
Android Revolution HD 20.2 by mike1986
Version 4.3
HTC Sense 5.0
Kernel: 3.4.10-geee1312
Build #: 3.09.401.1
I resolved my issue with not being able to backup. I found the legacy folder. I've since reflashed my ROM.
However, now my "restore" is stuck at 0%. It's been like this for 10 minutes. Whats going on?
NEW ISSUE: Now I can't restore. I've fixed my backup and reflashed my ROM. Now my apps won't restore back... Please help!
Same issues. Have no resolution from developer. Hate the app and it's support and don't use it anymore. Anytime I restored settings it soft bricked my phone. I use Helium now and certainly won't recommend TiBu. Glad I had 3 backups with 3 apps and put them all to the test.

Did you guys backupped also the system app?
If yes it's this the problem.
Titanium working fine here, never had an issue
Backed up everything in batch. Restored using ever possible combination of the app and data or just getting a new app and restoring data. Soft brick every time by trying to get back anything attempted. My 2 other apps restored perfectly every single time. Developer ignored me-certainly won't recommend.

It's normal if you're trying to restore a system app.
And the batch will backup all...
Is this the prob
It's advised to backup and restore only the data of the system app

Yes, did just the data on the restore as well as app+data - had the same results with restoring apps that weren't system related as well. Just a pain that I don't have to deal with, with other backup applications. TiBu has just not been great for me at all.
I just got my Note 3 and I restored my SMS/MMS using Titanium. Currently there are duplicates of my previously sent messages in some threads that have the pending circle like they are trying to send. Has anyone else seen this happen before? Any advice on how to get rid of them without manually deleting them all?

Delete it and restore them using the snapshot..if that doesn't work try the XML
If you are still having problems try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore You can backup and restore and it will ask you if you want to delete duplicates. I always use this app when factory resetting or whatnot.

That is OK if you only what to restore text. It claims to back MMS but it doesn't or I must of done something wrong. So far I have used Kies to backup and restore. I haven't tried titanium back yet.
