Anyone know of an app that will back up all my apps and settings so I can try flashing different rooms without having to read download anything. For some reason titanium backup isn't working
Helium? Haven't used it myself, but Koush does good work.

Does anyone know if it's possible to save and backup APN's for easy restoral? Perhaps with MyBackUp Pro or Titanium? This would be great when switching ROM's
Apn backup and restore from the market.

Perfect man. Thanks. I don't know what I didn't search the market. I just came on here and tried searching first
Is there any good app other than TiBu that can backup apps and data? What can you recommend?

My Backup Pro. Is the best backup app around according to me. In TB you have to go to individual app in the selection and chose. He you can back up every damn thing on the phone with just few steps. And restoring is why too easy.
It has a lite version too. 1 month trial. Trust me..I have used TB before but now I use this is absolutely wonderful

What is the big difference between mybackuppro and mybackuproot?
Do you have to confirm every installation of app like with TB? thats pretty annoying ^^
Is it possible to shedule like saving changes in data or newer version?
Can't go wrong purchasing Titanium Backup Pro !! Well worth it. Plus supporting the Dev as well with the buy.

But you are completely wrong.
If you buy the Pro version of TB, you can batch restore, batch backup, batch delete etc. etc. LOTS of things you can do all at once, like verify all backups, it goes on and on.
Mybackup PRO you have to buy as well and it isn't as nice as TB when it comes to app backup and restore.
But MBP has better functions to save SMS/Contacts/Call Log/APN etc.
TB can only save Wifi, Call log, SMS and one other thing I can't recall.
Titanium Pro is the best app I've ever purchased (twice, actually). But if you are cheap MyBackupPro Root is free.
Useboth TiBu and My backup root. mbr is free, and TiBu pro does a much faster restore than My Backup Root. MBR dies a better job on text messages,etc as previously said.

If you are looking for the best way to keep your data and app info in intact Tibu pro is worth the money in my opinion. For me it's the only way to go when trying to restore and keep my data across different ROMs.

+1 TiBu pro... Well worth the money.

Well I have restored from Gingerbread to Gingerbread before with no issues.
I backed up with TiBu and tried to go from Gingerbread to ICS and had nothing but headaches. About 60 apps won't install and keep giving me errors such as 'parsing package' etc. and THERE IS NO HELP ONLINE TO SOLVE THIS ERROR.
So I can no longer recommend Titanium Backup.
I would say use multiple backup software BUT DO NOT DEPEND ON TIBU ALONE.
If you haven't bought it, don't, not until they can fix this issue or explain why it happens.
If u restored system apps or system data after going to ics from gb, that would cause issues. Not saying u did...just sayin. Or the apps (some) may not be compatible with ics.

I did NOT restore system data or system apps.
The apps I'm restoring are compatible, I'm sure of that because some of them are updated and the same version as the market which installs them just fine.
Restoring system data or apps wouldn't cause the package parsing error anyway.
TiBu has some glitches that the developers NEVER fixed and NEVER documented or explained.
So until they can resolve what this package parsing error is, I recommend you either use 2 solutions or stay away from TiBu entirely.
I need a app that can do backups to individual apps titanium backup doesn't worm for me it says insuficient storage and I tried everything, and my backup pro was a waste of money
This is a pretty stupid question, but what should I use for non-rooted backups? I have a few apps I want to back up the data of. I usually use Titanium Backup, but I'm on non-rooted 4.4.
Try Helium. It's made by Koush of CyanogenMod fame. It requires a computer, but works as advertised.
Helium Premium ftw.

Or if you don't want to support that guy, just use adb backup. It is the back bone of helium anyway.

So yesterday I purchased Helium Premium. Set it all up, backed up the few apps that needed it, made sure the files were there on Dropbox. Erased the phone..... and two of the apps won't restore.
Awesome.
Yeah... I like Helium when it works, but it's not super robust, and when something breaks, it seems to be excessively difficult to fix it or work around it.
I can't quite tell what is a limitation of the app, and what is a limitation of the back-end ADB backup/restore process that's being used.
Anything you know that I can try? I've got about 4 hours of progress into a game that I can't restore.
A manual ADB restore of both apps worked great. Thanks!
Helium is definitely pretty cool, but I'll be sure to make manual ADB backups of critical data in the future.
Deleting bloat has been a task. Using Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall bloat. Upon restarting the phone, almost everything that was uninstalled magically reappears. Not re-installs, it is just magically back in the app drawer. Its almost like rebooting restores a system backup of some kind. Is there any way to stop this from happening? I am currently using Titanium Backup's "freeze" feature, and it is keeping the bloat at bay, but deleting it would be better because I could use the phone's space for something else.
I guess you are using stock. Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Team+Trickster&hl=en
Then reboot after deleting them.

Thats the one I thought it was. I will give it a swing, but it says that it is not compatible with 4.3, and thats what the phone has on it. I'll take a swing though!
Hello all,
Back in KitKat (I think), google's default app for phone/contacts had the option to only display contacts with numbers. (great idea!)
For reasons beyond anything I can imagine, they stupidly removed this feature. (Horribly stupid idea...sigh)
Is it possible to run the older phone app/contacts app on newer roms? 7.0?
I like the stock app. Fantastic app, excepting for the horrible stupid decision to break needed functionality by Google.
Thoughts? Options? Ideas?
Thanks!
Just a thought you could find the apk from KitKat and then install that. If it works. Use something like titanium backup and long press on the app from within TB and select remove market link. This should prevent the app from auto updating. Haven't tried it but i agree. The contact with phone numbers only was great.

Thanks for the direction. I'm a technical user, so I can chase this down. Why would they remove it?
