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
Hello everybody.
I am using the Samsung Galaxy S for a couple of weeks now. Since that, I have only flashed a rooted Stock-Kernel once and did nothing else yet. Previously I've been using a HTC Tattoo and before I continue to try out different ROMs on my SGS I'd like to verify one thing.
The issue I wonder about is, that so many people are flashing so many different ROMs and try them out before they finally decide for one (or continue testing further ROMs). The problem I always faced with my Tattoo was, that after each new ROM installation I always had to reinstall all apps and lost complete personalized app data.
To speed up the re-setup of my phone I tried the app "App Backup & Restore", but this only backups the APKs and gives me the option to reinstall all apps manually. For example in case of apps like "Sleep as Android" or K9-mail it sucks to loose all personal data.
Therefore I am looking for an alternative way to store apps in that way, that I can always restore the latest status before flashing (including all personalized data). In the course of that, I found the following apps, but I am not sure, if these will cover my requirements. And to be honest, I'm not courageous enough to start with any try&error approach Does any of you have some experience with one of these apps and can describe which functionalities are really covered by these tools? From the market descriptions it didn't become clear to me, if my requirement is covered or not.
Titanium Backup or AppExtractor
Alternatively, could you let me know in which way you do it? Do all of you "flashers" always reinstall all apps manually from the scratch without the previously personalized data stored? I hope not.....
Thanks and Regards!
Titanium backup you can backup either the data from the app or just the app then when you restore you can restore the app or the app plus data
Because when I update my rom it normally comes with updated versions of the apps I already had, I just restore the data so then you have the updated app with the same data a f settings that you had before

thanks for the quick response.
and do you or anybody else know if this is also mapped correctly to Android Market? from previous tries i know that recovered apps are not always shown as "installed" there. but i guess it depends on the mechanism behind?!

Hello everybody.
I found it out another way in the meantime. Unbelievable, but true all links to market will be obcviously kept. As I understood, because of the installation mechanism. It's possible to install via a link to market and then to restore the customized data.
But which app can be recommended? Sure, I guess Titanium Backup?! What about jrummy's App Manager Pro? Any experiences? Seems to be quite new and covers also my requirements?
You know any criteria I didn't consider yet?
Thanks dudes

Newbie Question
If I did a backup of data with TWRP recovery and then flashed different rom and then tried to restore the backup would it work?
Most likely you will end up with a bootloop or Android Core constantly crashing. If you want to backup and restore apps data, I'd recommend using Titanium Backup instead.
If the new ROM is similar enough, and you only restore DATA, it might work. But like the last response, it might not. I also suggest (and use) Titanium for migrating app data. Although be aware that Titanium causes problems when restoring Whatsapp (and maybe a couple other apps that I don't use)? I've used Titanium with no problems on the 3T (as I have on countless ROM flashes on several Android devices).

Thanks a lot
I'm currently running MIUI Global 8.2, Stable 8.2.2.0(NAAMIEB). I want to back up my app data before flashing Paranoid Android. This is my first time installing ROMs, and therefore I haven't yet unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP or rooted my device. How can I backup my app data in MIUI, without root, so I can restore the app data in my Paranoid Android ROM?
I've tried Helium without any success - it keeps asking me to enable PTP mode and install ADB drivers (both of which I have done, but the phone isn't detected by ADB command prompt). Google backup of app data doesn't work well in MIUI; I can only backup Google apps with a few third party apps.
Thanks.
If anyone could come up with something?
:crying:
I'm in the same situation.
You will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP anyway to flash third-party ROM like Paranoid, so just go ahead to unlock your bl.
but, if want to backup and restore data from and to MIUI system, it can be done in Settings-Additional Settings-Backup and restore(doesn't require a unlocked bl). It will backup your data in your /sdcard/MIUI folder, copy it else where and keep it safe.
You Can use Helium, works on non-rooted devices and is able to backup app data from most of the apps. But once you do root, I'd recommend switching to Titanium Backup Pro because it is just so much more better. Helium is the app you're looking for buddy. Hit the thanks button if I helped.
What's everyone using for full backup and restore ?
Quite regularly I've been flashing fastboot between chinese , global ,Eu stable ,Eu weekly and developer preview android 12 and usually Its a pain in the ass to reinstall the apps
(Mi backup solution from cloud and PC isn't good enough and loads of apps just won't work without being reinstalled fresh which is time consuming and boring)
Is there anything like a Nandroid backup possible that's works reliably ?
I haven't flashed roms regularly in several years, back in the day we used to use clockwork mod and TWRP but these are not available yet...

I'm using swift backup.
Using Swift Backup too. Works for 80-90% of the Apps in average. Just some banking apps need fresh install.
And again Swift Backup... I used Titanium Backup much in the past, but for some reason it became pretty unreliable when restoring so I switched...

Yeah same here. TB is outdated, but was very good in the past!
Migrate worked great on the MI9.
Didn't test on the Ultra because already have global version m
I switch between super backup and swift. both work really well for me, but with Super Backup, you don't need to sign in with the Goolag
I see everybody talking about swift backup.... Bit can you do everything with the free version. I mean all apps, launcher and logins are saved and works 100% with restoring ? I tried it once and I thought it wasn't working without paying for the app
