I'm going to be cashing out on my Sprint Insurance because I broke my screen. What app can I run on my old broken screen (Still working) Evo to minimize down time when I get the new one?
Titanium Backup.
Thank you SilverZero

Only works on rooted phones. I used MyBackup before.

You can use Unrevoked to get a partial root for TB, then just uninstall Unrevoked and reboot. Right?
But yes, MyBackup is another option.
I'm rooted, so TB worked perfectly.
uhhhh why not just nandroid backup? then restore. then youre back to the same place in time.

I was just wondering if there is a a way to back up my phones current launcher settings so when I do a full wipe to a new ROM I can EASILY get my phone back to normal without having to reinstall all apps. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Im running on rooted Epic Experience 1.2.04, mixup kernal(not newest update), and Emotionless Beast theme.

Make a nandroid backup. Flash the new rom. Goto advance restore in CWM and flash data

I believe they are talking about booting into CWM and there is an option to make a backup. So flash your rom and then restore with your backup.
yup, "nandroid" backup is the backup option within clockwork recovery, its a full backup of your phone. flash a new rom, then boot to clockwork and do backup and restore > advanced > select your backup > restore data. voila
Thanks for the replies. I wish I had realized this 2 months ago when I started flashing ROMS, I could've had an extra 20hrs to my life.lol I always backup thru clockwork, just never checked under advanced restore.

I have a problem, I am running FR007 and I can't get Clockwork to make a working backup. If I try to restore from the backup it gives MD5 error. I also tried using Rom Manager and it gives me the android with the triangle error. What do I need to do to get a working backup.
Try titanium backup or Astro File Manager.

Out of curiosity, when you turn off your phone or, restart it, whatever it is that you do to get into clockwork...do you have your phone plugged in with the usb cable?
Yeah I get into clockwork and do a android backup but if I try to restore I get an,error. MD5 something. Titanium and astrology don't do android do they.

lol @ astrology. damn auto correct lol. anyway, you didn't pay attention to my question. do you have your phone hooked up to usb when you are rebooting to go into clockwork?
Yeah auto correct gets me alot. And no I don't have anything hooked to the phone when I try to backup.

are you renaming the backup folder?
No. It won't sync with HTC sync either if that helps.

same thing happened to me for almost all of my backups, i think it was because i put in a custom kernel. I switched back and it started to work again.
Where are you guys getting the nandroid app?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Say again?
it's not an app.. it's in the CWM recovery.. it's the back up and restore thing
I got mine from Google....
Ahhhhh, that explains why I couldn't find it. I've used the backup and recovery in clockworks, never realized that was the nandroid everyone keeps mentioning. Thanks!
First would like to say hello to all XDA members.
I have a rooted Dinc. I deleted a few bloat apps. Before that I did a backup thru recovery (backup & restore) menu. If I restore will that restore all apps?
I would like to unroot and restore as to be ready for a OTA update. How will I get my DINC back to OEM?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Yes, restoring your backup would restore whatever apps you had at the time of the backup. However I really wouldn't be to worried about getting the ota considering it likely wont start coming out for another few months.

Bout to get my nexus 4, will be dropped off by UPS tomorow. And i have a few questions, if anyone will be kind enough to answer.
Would it be a smart idea to unlock the bootloader and root it with TWRP recovery like the second i take it out of the box so that way i dont have to back anything up?
And then, when i decide to switch to a non stock ROM i will just need Titanium backup to backup my stuff and then im good to go?
Also, one more question, since nexus's dont have SD cards, wont my titanium backups get wiped when i flash a rom?
Thanks
1) Yes it would probably be a good idea to unlock and root right away. That's what I done with my Nexus 7. I didn't install recovery though because I wasn't interested in custom ROMs. If you're going to be flashing things right away then yes install the recovery aswell.
2) Titanium Backup will do that perfectly for you but you could always just make the backup through recovery. As you said you'll be using TWRP it means you can restore data separately from a backup anyway.
3) You don't need to worry about backups being wiped because they're stored in the internal SD. It's essentially just space to make sure important things can still be safe even if you factory reset.
Hope that helps

Btw I would recommend Helium instead of Titanium Backup for backing up your stuff. Works much more efficiently, at least for me. Helium backs up everything, apps and app data, launcher, WiFi settings, user dictionary, launcher setup, and all your SMS data. I really like it and I've fully replaced Titanium Backup with it.

Instead of titanium backup use go backup pro and save it to the cloud

After you root & unlock the device I strongly suggest you play around with the phone for a few days and see how battery is and its performance as well. After those few days if you want you could just install any rom or kernel you want. You'll thank me later. Lol

thank you all so much! I really appreciate the answers. I will look into all three of those options for backing up my data! Thank you. and the internal sd card thing makes perfect sense so thank you for that explanation. You all have a good day!
