Backup and Restore applications and settings after wipe (ROM upgrade)

Hello
I have just had my first Android phone a couple of days. One question has come up.
After I have wiped and put in a new ROM, how can I reinstall all my applications and settings in a easy way? Seems to be to much work each time I upgrade a ROM (DeFroST), so it must exist a way to do this. I can see this application Titanium Backup that is always within the ROM. Is this the solution?

Replacing android build without loosing data.

Do you know of any free ones that do the same mate ?
Well contacts are most important to me, you can use gmail to sync contacts, mails sms ect.
I'm wondering if there's anyway to backup Android apps, so if theres a new build we can just transfer these apps to our new built. I'm pretty sure i'll stay @ Froyo from darkstone, but i think it won't be to long until a RC comes out..
Anyone can answer which i can use for backing my apps?? Or perhaps get the .apk's from the market?

get ASTRO File Manager from the market, it has an app backup feature. all apps get exported as .apk's (unfortunately thats what's causing the rampant piracy! )

[Q] App backup ?

I'm still pretty new to the android roms, I can appreciate the great work being done here!
What methods are you using to backup apps, especially those from the market? For me the biggest draw to android is the apps. Even when trying all the awesome roms here I also want to try out of the apps from the market. I assume that if I buy an app from the market I would be able to download it again without paying for it again. ???
Someone said that titanium backup will do this, but if this is the solution then we would need an apk for titanium backup.
Still, I think, better yet it would be nice to be able to backup, copy the apk file from any program I have installed so when I try out another build or android rom I don't have to go back to the market and re-download any and all apps I like.

Titanium backup is available in the market for download. You can backup the apk using a dike manager program if you would like,so when you install a new build you can just install it from the SD.
Personally, i prefer to just use app brain to synch NY apps and i use the launcher pro backup for my home screen.

App Monster. Its free and you can download it from the Market. You can backup all your downloaded apps to your sd card and batch install them if you try out a new build.
In future please ask questions in the General Discussion Forum.
Thread moved to HD2 Android General Discussion.
Mark.
Titanium Backup is also available from the market for free. The paid version just restores easier. (You don't have to click ok for every app) Titanum backup also backs up settings (data)
Your purchases are linked to your gmail account, and you should be able to download again.
Just don't ask the apk of paid version here. It's warez.
I recommend My backup Pro... backs up apps and market links and just works...

You're gonna need to start backing up and restoring what you want to keep. I recommend titanium backup.

Titanium Backup will backup all apps and most data (like settings, preferences etc.). Beware that if an app offers to download something for additional functionality, that will not always be backupped, as it isn't always stored in the same location. No harm done there, as it doesn't contain settings in such scenario. If you restore the app, all settings will be restored too.
Sincerely,
Mac

nope. you pick the apps you want to backup and then in the new rom you restore them all.
i wish there is a simple way to change rom like copy one file...
but you all say thet titanium backup is the right thing to do so....
thx.

[Q] Migrating apps to a new ROM

When migrating to a different Android ROM, what is the easiest way to migrate over the apps? Would doing a data restore from the old rom work or maybe titanium? I would hate to have to do a list of all the apps and find them all over again...
Thanks!
titanium and / or astro will actually let you back up your apps (the apks). i use astro (tools > backup i believe - and is free. or if you used markets, etc. will work too of course.

I use Super Box (download it from market, its free)
First you have to back up all apps into SD card.
Then, everytime you change android,
Firstly reinstall Super Box, and then choose menu "Installer"
Then you can see all your apps (in the form of installer file .apk)
Just click what ever you want to install in the new android rom..
Cheers...
If you are on nand rom wipe data in cwm, install new rom then dovan advanced restore with data and if u used a sd-ext also restore the sd-ext.

Will the google apps market save the info of the apps I have? so that it just reloads all my apps into my next rom?

Why do you have to individually re-install each apk? When I used WM and SPB Backup and did a restore, it restored all my apps back without doing an individual re-install. Isn't there an app (Backup/Restore) that will do that in Android?

Yes but that only installs apps you have installed via market, It doesnt install apps that you side loaded and it doesnt restore the app data, only the apk file.

Yes, what you need is Titanium Backup Pro, It is THE best backup solution on Android for apps/data.
You can do anything in batch (pro version).
Trust me when I say that this is what you need!

I have been using TB V3.8.8.1 and it requires a re-install of each apk. Still looking for a way to re-install/recover without the individual re-install.

Did you even bother to read what I said properly?
You need the "pro" version, then you can use the "batch" option in backup/restore. I use this all the time, I can restore ALL apps in 1 go, Absolutely no need to restore individually!!!!!
You can even create a update.zip and flash via recovery instead if you wish

Yah! I read what you wrote. I just told you what I am using. It is a piece of dung. I am glad that you have such a good disposition. Maybe you should take some time off and try to learn how to communicate with others. You are much to blunt! If you can't hack it, move on. Tell me, what is the purpose of TB.

Im going to tell you this one LAST time..
TB DOES support batch and DOESNT need to do it individually. If you are having to do them individually then you do NOT have the "Pro" version, You need to purchase (or get elsewhere) the Pro ticket to update your version before you get all the extra features.
Once you have the Pro version you can restore ALL your apps in one click without having to restore them individually.
Also why the fook are you trying to insult me for you ungrateful p.o.s, I'm here trying to help you!!
TB is the best program in its field, It has the most features and its the most advanced aslong as you have the Pro version, If you are looking for something more then you are simply out of luck so get over it and upgrade.
Also as I said before, TB also allows you to create a update.zip so you can also flash them via recovery and not via Android.
You understand now??

You just confirmed your 'knacker' attitude. You did not read my posting and understand what I said. So, move on dude. TB can't be the best if you must use the PRO version. The non-pro version implies that you can do a BATCH restore and it does not allow a Batch restore. I got over it before I posted.
BYE BYE!
