I'm not sure about app monster but the latest versions of Titanium back up can force applications to link in the market.
You could always try that, but you'll have to wait for root.

app monster just sits in the background backing up the APK as its installed basically you end up with a folder called APPMONSTER full of APK files that you have downloaded or installed from SD card in their original uninstalled state not quite sure what your getting at regarding market links but they are as they were originally nothing gets changed from the original apk its backed up as a whole file if you mean does it appear in the market download section as when you download from the market then no! no app (at least what I have reinstalled/installed) from the SD using appmonsters cache on the sd card will/have appeared in the market downloads section
I use MyBackup Pro. I started using it before I debranded my phone and obviously lost everything in the process. I restored my backup and all the apps were linked to the market.
(also restores loads of other stuff, if u want it to, Contacts, Call Log, Bookmarks, SMS, MMS, System Settings, Android Home, Alarms, Dictionary, Calendar, Music Playlist)
It's $4.99 but theres a 30 day free trial, so if it's just for one job, may be worth giving it a go.
So, prividing that after the 2.1 update we won't be able to root
(at least immediately), if I use MyBackup, will the applications be automatically re-installed via Restore option?
I know that app data recovery is not possible without root, but will at least avoid the manual re-installation?
Has someone used MyBackup is a non rooted phone to confirm how is the restore actually working?
Ok so I'm planning on flashing a rom for the first time. I was just wondering if after running a full backup using Titatnium, if that saves all of the texts messages that I have right now? If it doesn't, is there a way to go about getting that done?
If you want to save your text messages, I recommend using mybackup pro (the free version will not let you restore data). If you can't pay for it, look up Applanet

First off, Jmoney47, please do not recommend that another user on here use Applanet. Warez and the like are not supported by XDA. Apps such as applanet are the reason there are virus' and malware on Android devices. If you truly want a paid app, then pay for it off of the market and support the developer who made it. =)
As for the original question:
I believe Titanium will save all of your data (sms and what not). i just switched ROMs and used titanium (among other things). so i'm so used to the switching process, I really can't recall all I do.
I recommend searching for SMS backup which is a free app
My Backup Root is free and backs up text. I couldn't figure out how to back up text using Titanium.

Also, Titanium Backup only backs up apps. Don't try to back up system data with it because it differs from ROM to ROM and can have serious consequences if you restore it with an incompatible one.
If you want a full backup, one you can restore after flashing a new ROM if something goes wrong, you need to make a nandroid backup using Clockwork Recovery.

Well I got everything I need to backup taken care of, but now I'm having a problem flashing the rom. I select the rom in rom manager, check to make a backup, and to wipe the data, hit ok, but then it just restarts my phone and nothing has happened. Any ideas?

I don't use rom manager, instead I use koush's droid X bootstrap. Which might be a dependancy for rom manager.
On a side note. I'm baffled by the fact that someone would come in a developers forum and recommend pirated software. Sad.

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.

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.

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
I currently use Titatum Backup. What is the best way to get back all of your old software? What is the best way to get back email and txt messages from your phone before the upgrade? Is there away to backup and restore for all data on phone after ROM change. Big headaches seem to be txt messages and email messages and software. Contacts you can just restore via Google.
Thanks for any help you can give.
I use Ti for apps only. I back up my texts and mms with the stock messenger. Contacts and emial are automaticly restored when I sync my gmail profiles. (I only use gmail email addresses and use the gmail app from the market).
I ran into an issue when I went from my previous rom to synergy rc2 and did a full restore of apps and user data using Ti. Long story short, Ti over-wrote some system files and borked my mms.
I have heard some speak of using appbrain, but I have not used it, so I can not comment on it.

Well if you didn't backup with Titanium, or make a Nandroid backup, there is no way to get that data back.

Texts can be backed up with SMS Backup and Restore. Emails should be on the email server to begin with. Apps can be backed up and restored with Titanium
The guys on the Mik forums recommend Titanium Backup (paid version) for apps and data and MyBackup Root (free on the market) for SMS and MMS messages. I also use it for my alarms and dictionary and neither have let me down yet.
I saved a copy of everything that was on my phone before I changed from stock rom to cm7...how would I then get my messages back to my phone?
I use my backup pro

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.
