backup it using backup and restore apps. also export your contacts to sdcard. in case backup and restore doesn't work.
about the apps, download it again.

For your Apps, you can use App Monster Pro.

That is a good question from paradise_human.
For the apps apk, I used adb with pull command.
But I still wonder how I can backup and retore my personnal parameters of apps and phone (brightness, wifi parameters, etc.).
So I'm interested in an answer too.

MyBackup Pro.

Sync with Gmail.

Go to contacts app push more and backup contacts. For sms I use sms backup and restore.

or MYPHONE EXPLORER version 1.8 comes with an android APK and a pc application you can connect via wifi/bluetooth or usb you can then download or sync all your contacts and messages etc to your computer then just sync em back the same way
I use MYPHONE EXPLORER all the time to backup my contacts/messages I even use it as a pretty FAST way to upload and download files without the hassle of using my usb data cable

How about Sony Ericsson PC Companion and Titanium backup pro?
Does it support?

Didn't try those two but used gmail sync for contacts and a third party free software sms backup and restore. For both apps are available in market.
Worked perfectly fine for me.
Hope this helps.

In theory it shouldn't be a problem although bear in mind that you will need to have root access and superuser before you can use Titanium on your SGS2

I have just backed up all my apps from my HTC Hero.
Currently downloading all my SMS with SMS Backup + but after that's done I'll be attempting to restore some apps. will let you know how it goes

Titanium Backup 2.2.1>2.3.3

Hi Guys
I have the rom that you can see in my signature. I'd like to know if, when I'll install the JVH 2.3.3 ROM, I can restore my saved apps with TitaniumBackup without problems.
Thanks

Yes, just remember not to restore system apps. It is also best in my experience not to batch restore but do it one by one, and for most of them just restore the app, not data. Only restore app+data when you really need whatever settings were in the app.

so if i restore app+ data, would I be able to restore the game save files?
like for baseball game..i developed my player to be really good (trained for many hours)
i dont want to lose him

lkh5650, saves are in these programs and will be restored along with them.
I am moving from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 using Titanium restored all the programs, their data and some system data, as pim (log of calls can not be restored). Everything else I do not advise.

thanks for the reply
does that mean i only need to restore the app?? i dont have to restore app+data?

lkh5650, I always choose "Restore all apps with data", and then remove the check mark in the list of unnecessary items (all red - is a system software, and optionally the green - leaving only pim).

Thanks guys!
However, I backup the 90% of the "user apps" (I exclude big games and so on). Then there is no chance to restore system apps or something like this.
Thank you again!

Note that you can't revert SMS/MMS from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1 with TB, the database are incompatibles.

Contacts/Texts/(+other system data) is okay from 2.2.1 -> 2.3.3
However, if you backup system data from 2.3.3 and restore it to 2.2.1 you will get force closes.
So you can upgrade and keep your data, but can't revert

Or just save all that to Google or your SIM card and restore as needed.

my experience
hey guys,
i moved from JPJ 2.2.1 to JVB 2.3.3 with all ease and no probs at all. even restored all my messages and contacts. here's what i did.
1. backup eveything with titanium. all of it.
2. use go sms to backup all your sms's.
3. use contacts to export ur contacts to sd.
4. flash JVB da way u want.
5. once ur on 2.3.3 and running all well. install TB. goto batch option. click restore missing apps. in the menu select apk only. and recheck all apps are user apps only. if there is a system app (in green or red) deselect it.
And voila! all ur apps are back. now u can pick and choose wich ones u want to restore data for. personally i found restoring data for games is no problem.
6. via my files app goto ex-sd card and find out the .vcf file that was created by contacts and click it. itl will restore all ur contacts.
7. reinstall go sms. and restore your messages.
8. create a nandroid as quickly as you can so u can avoid all the inconvenience and simply restore data from nandroid when u change to another gingerbread from this one.
Cheers! and happy flashing

Moving from Sense 3.0 to MIUI -How to keep messages?

Hey guys,
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 6.1.4 and I want to move to a MIUI based ROM, the only thing stopping me is that I want to keep some specific SMS and MMS messages but I can't find a way to backup AND restore MMS messages. Some claim to do it but I have heard of people having issues going between different ROMs.
Can anyone link me to a guide or app that can allow me to backup and restore SMS and MMS messages that will work going from Sense to MIUI?
I am unable to buy apps so if you suggest an app please consider this.
Thank you and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Use mybackup root. You can download it in market.

Every time i've changed ROM i have made a backup of all SMS on my phone. I use Sms backup+. Unfortunately I'm a new member and I can't post any link to this application, but it's very easy to find it on Android Market.
It uploads all your text messages to your gmail account and afterwards once you've installed your new ROM, you just download the app again and reset all the messages! Works very well, and also it's free!
Good Luck!

I use smsbackuprestore its simple, free and works with any from and any SMS application, even worked when I moved from MIUI on my inspire to my galaxy nexus

even Titanium Backup pro is brilliant, works all the time for me

Afaik, tit backup doesn't backup the messages itself. Anyway, when I restore a backup (full backup ofc), my sms messages are not restored
I use SMSbackup & Restore seperately... I don't know if this backups mms messages as well

Why are U unable to buy apps?
Titanium Backup Pro works great, and you can backup too many other things, such as your score in games, some of your configuration settings...

running smsbackup+ here to,
run the app, backup to gmail, and then restore, worked perfectly for me. no matter what rom i am using.
i solved the massive amount of sms being restored back after a couple of months by simply assigning them a different label in gmal. so im still able to find them if i need, but wont overfill my phone.

I use gosms to make a backup file in my SD card, install new rom and then gosms to restore all SMS from backup.
Yours truly.

SMS Backup+ is a very great choice. Easy upload of your files to your gmail account. Hassle free.!! Do try it.
Here is the link

I also use SMS Backup+. It works perfectly fine.

The only one I know that backs up both sms and mms including pictures is Sprite Backup. Check it out.

I removed the original SMS app and installed Go SMS pro. There are built-in backup/restore functions in Go SMS pro.

I always use SMS Backup & Restore, incredibly easy and quick to get them off your sd card and back into your SMS app

I used Mybackup pro, used from gingerbread sense to ICS, and back lol.

I'm also using SMS Backup+ . No problems so far

I always use a combination of titanium backup and mybackup. Just back up all your data with both of them, then after restoring with titanium fill up what is left out with mybackup..

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for backing up sms at the moment.
Working good for me so far.

Always used mybackup pro. Works like a charm for me.
