the title says it all , i want to backup everything in my phone so when i flash new rom i don't take time getting back everything like it was
Sync with xiaomi cloud, will make good backup of your setting and home screen, with apps it's not good, it will restore the apps but not app data and it very slow. So i make local backup with titanium. After clean flash i setup a new device, install titanium and magisk manager and run xiaomi cloud sync, after restoring home screen i run titanium restore and then enter google account.
This way you will need to reinstall 2 or 3 apps, for example dropbox is always crushing after this. And bank apps don't like it. But everything else restored like it was before clean flash.
It's the best way i found.

I used AppsOrganizer and am starting to use FolderOrganizer
but
when I restore the settings to these apps after a rom flash
they are at best scrambled, at worst they load the system down from undisplayable configs
has anyone managed to restore the folder/app setup in these Apps?
or is there an alternative to these apps that will backup and restore properly?
I am using TiBu for backups
I hope I dont have to buy another app to make this work, but please shar whatever works for you
I use 'App Organizer'.
After any ROM flash, I restore all my user apps and data, including this. Then start the app, and do a 'reload'. This process would take out any missing apps from showing up. This process always works for me.
Hi all,
Is there a way to save locally all the apps installed on the phone? My HD is rooted and I like to test new Rom, but I do not like the fact the phone have to download everythime I flash all the apps from the market. I bought a very powerfull backup programm... But I've to download it every flashing time. Is it possible to copy the *.apk from the system/apps folder and put there again once flashed?
Any suggestion?
I think what you are describing here is the Google back up service that reinstalls all you apps at once after a full wipe. This is optional and can be switched off
Personally I use titanium backup and on the occasions I need to do a full wipe I keep the titanium apk stored on my sd and then when the green robot appears on the welcome screen I press all for corners of the screen to exit the set up. I install titanium from the SD and use it to restore my pro key version. Then use batch restore to restore everything it takes a while but its automated at least.
After that has completed I log into my Google account and run the market to check for updates since last backup.
I'm not sure if this is faster than using Google restore but it means you can restore without wifi.
If your talking about being able to wipe the phone but leave system apps in place. Then I don't think this is possible.

so something that has been unclear to me still is how to reinstate all your apps, settings etc from a clean wipe.
for example, a new update for a custom ROM comes out that highly recommends a clean wipe. how do you back up and reinstall your apps after the wipe? what's your process?
Titanium Backup will back up all of your apps and you can optionally restore all data for those apps. It'll be as if you never wiped your phone lol.

Titanium Backup can also make a zip backup of all apps/data that installable from TWRP. The backup takes a little longer but the install is very fast.
I also like ease backup from the play store. Does the job like tibu, but much cleaner and simpler ui.

Yeah, I generally use a combination of logging in to my Google Account at the first run of a new rom (which starts the account backup process from Google), then finish off with Titanium. My process starts with just restoring the missing apps, then I do all the data. I look at it like a new OS install on a computer - for me, it takes a few passes and a couple of restarts, but in the end it's shorter than starting from scratch with layouts, settings, logins etc.
Hi all,
Can Samsung Smart Switch restore/transfer 3rd party launchers like Nova? Can it restore all my apps data?
Thanks
No, but you can do the backup and restore with "Helium Backup", create a backup of Nova Launcher inside of Nova Launcher on a SD card and restore the backup on your Note 9

You can do a Nova backup to an SD card or to your Google Drive and restore to your new phone.
Doing a full phone backup and restore to new phone takes some work and time. As others stated above, for Nova backup your settings to your SD card, then put your SD card into your new phone.
For texts, calls and phone settings, Samsung smartswitch will do all of that. For apps AND their data you have to use Helium. Helium is slow and often takes many tries to get certain apps to fully migrate their data. I suggest backing up the app data from your old phone, then when you install the new apps on your new phone, just have Helium install the new apps fresh from the play store but let Helium add the DATA for those apps in as they install. That has worked the best for me at least. You can try to do full app and data backup via Helium, but that takes much longer to transfer the apps and data to your new phone.
I really, really wish Titanium didn't need root to do app/data backup and migration. Titanium works so much better/faster than Helium, but at least Helium works (most of the time).
Is Helium safe?
It will not mess with warranty, knox fuse, secure folders?

It's completely safe. Does not mess with any of those things. Warranty is safe. Helium is the only non-root app and data migration tool that works (to my knowledge).
I just tried Helium, it can't backup about 70% of my apps :'(
I need help to restore my GBWhatsApp Plus chats!
On Samsung Note 8 Android Pie, GBWhatsApp Plus 6.65 ([email protected]_hoak)
1. Did my phone backup va Samsung Smart Switch.
2 . Followed the steps to get the call recording function (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/call-recording-android-9-t3846235/post78869864)
3. After my restore, when I tried to start GBWhatsApp and clicked the red button "Restore", loading bar appeared and app closes by itself.
4. Tried the following to reattempt s/n 3 but no avail:
a. Restarted my phone
b. Upgraded to GBWhatsApp Plus 6.70 (GBWAPlusv6.702.18.327_arm64v8a)
c. Restored GBWhatsApp application backup specifically from Samsung Switch
------------
P/S: I did not manually backup my chat in GBWhatsApp as I subconsciously treated that it was automatically backup-ed like the original WhatsApp / taken care of by Samsung Smart Switch.
Also, was trying to research on restoring GBWhatsApp chat backups and I stumbled on posts mentioning about GBWhatsApp folders on the file mangaer, however my phone shows WhatsApp folders instead, is this because I'm on the GBWhatsApp Plus version?
Is this all making any sense? Is there anything that I missed / else that I need to do successfully get my chats back?
Currently, I'm running GBWhatsApp 6.70 (from s/n 4b) in the meantime. Really want to get my previous chats back and later do a merge of previous and current chats.
Appreciate any kind help/advice on this! :crying:

1stly backup your whatsapp account to your Google Drive. Insert your GB SIM into your device and install whatsapp normally. There will be an option to restore from your back up,
This is the very reason why prefer Telegram over Whatsapp.

You're referring to backing up previously or currently? Since I'm on GBWhatsApp Plus, I don't see the option of auto-backup to Google Drive except manually clicking back up. What do you mean by GB SIM? Original WhatsApp? I'm confused

I felt the same when this happened. Unfortunately, most of my contacts on still on Whatsapp and I need functions from the GB mod.
I want to do a factory reset. And the app doesn't save data on cloud.
Will built in backup/restore work in my case?
I found my app in Google Drive backup folder. So at least the app I am interested is safe.
But still need an answer regarding how Samsung backup works.
Thanks!
Not sure about Smart Switch but the normal backup that you restore when you setup your phone initially, does not backup app data or the APK. It just reinstalls from the Playstore.

Yeah, this is exactly what I was talking about, I've backup and restored my phone from Samsung Cloud atleast 20 times already and it has never restored app data. It will backup a list of the apps you have installed and install that list when you initially setup the phone but that's it.

I always backup apps with Google and data, desktop settings, and other settings with Samsung cloud backup. I have never had problems with restoring after that.

You aren't understanding this question, he wanted the app data backed up, so after he resets his phone, the app is exactly how it was before the reset. Google's backup doesn't do that either. The only way I'm aware to have that backed up is Titanium Backup, which requires root.
Like I wrote, when I backup with booth Google and Samsung cloud. My apps data and settings are exactly like before after Factory reset and restore.
Ok so.. To be clear.. Nothing.. Nothing backs up the apps data like titanium backup.. I used it long time ago, but i stopped rooting since few years.
Now the difference between samsung backup or cloud or switch (all almost does the same thing) and Google backup cant be determined..
Here is my experience..
Google backup does backup apps data and settings perfectly when using a pixel phone.. So pixel to pexil..
Samsung cloud or switch does backup SOME apps data (Samsung to Samsung). And does backup the majority of Samsung native apps and settings (always misses something when restoring)
However, i noticed that as long as you are backing up and restoring to the same phone (same device not only same brand) then either Samsung or Google do restore the most possible..
You have to keep in my mind that there are apps that i couldn't restore its data no matter what, and mostly these apps are the ones that have higher authentication (Instagram, WhatsApp, shipment tracking apps, banks apps and so on).. But i was always able to restore apps like Talon or Fenix (twitter apps)..
I believe that some apps do allow restoration as long as its coming back to the same exact device (simple formate and restore) but others dont no matter what..
Recently i did a factory reset after updating to pie (i didn't factory reset during the beta so my apps where already setup on pie) so moving from pie to pie in samsung and same device using SD card and Samsung switch. I would say most of samsung settings where restored, 40% of my apps data restored, i had 2 or 3 apps completely not restored and i downloaded them again from play store.. Most of samsung native apps settings were restored..
I would advice, doing both Samsung switch and Google backup (keep in mind that Google back is now activated and u can manually backup ur device anytime) thats what i did, and when i restored the last time, i restored from both, because when u do the setup, first google asks you if you want to restore then samsung asks you too.. So i did both.. And i would say it worked better than what i expected, minimal setup overall compared to a fresh device setup.. But expect an hour or 2 of double checking of you do check all apps after restoring like me..
This thread is relevant to me. I want to root my phone, but first I want to backup my apps and data. I know in future I can use Titanium Backup but how to backup now without root. Is everyone using Smart Switch and Google Backup. I looked at Helium but most apps say they can't be backed up.
