Backup solution of Market apps

Hey. I've asked this before, but never really got a clear answer.
I currently have a bunch of market apps installed on my phone and SD card. Last time I cleared my phone, I did a backup using Titanium. Upon restoring all of my apps, it didn't seem to restore them as much as it seemed to reinstall them, since I had to accept the security risks for each application individually and hit install, install, install, install, etc.
With the VERY SMALL possibility of an official 2.2 coming out soon, I know I will need to flash my phone back to 2.1. That said, is there a better/easier way to backup AND restore my apps?

The donate version of titanium backup automatically installs your apps

Well any time you try yo restore your apps it can cause problems with force closes so try to use titanium as least as possible. The.only other way is to.do a backup and.then you can restore data thru cwm. Its always just a better idea to just do a fresh install on it.

Wrong, I've never had titanium give me fc issues. Restore apps With data only in titanium, don't restore system data.

Mybackup pro. Its simple. It works every time. In my experience, It restores faster than titanium and more reliable. Restores the full apk+data+market link. I think titanium is the app of choice due to its geeky ui. Can anyone show me otherwise?... id be curious to see if there are any advantages.

The best way to do it is to reinstall the apps via the market and just use titanium to restore the app data

i love Mybackup Pro, works great. i like how it puts the apps back in the exact configuration that you had them on your homescreen. but, it did fail me once or twice, where i went to restore, and it said 'could not get backup set'..... maybe that was something funky i did? otherwise i love that app.

i like using the market, but how come it usually only lists a limited number of my apps that i got form the market? it doesn't seem to add them to my list as i download more...

I got no axe to grind as I have Titanium Backup Pro, MyBackup Pro, and a few other misc backup tools. I use them all. However, I never backup system data through anything other than cwm.

Any data that's not specific to a 3rd party application.

Longer way but will provide a fresh install of apps is just use AppBrain.

Any data that isn't specific to a third party application would be my Google mail, my Google Calendar, and my Google contacts. All of which is maintained by the Google cloud, and replicated down to me when I wipe my phone.
Not sure what other data there is that isn't related to a third party application that I would need to back up???

For example, your wifi networks and passwords, bluetooth pairings, your call log and text message history are all system data you can restore.

[Q] Backup and restore for a non-rooted N7

I got my nexus 7 recently and seems to have the battery drain issue. I monitored the apps running and all that. Adjusted settings according to some of the threads I've read.
I wanted to reset my N7 and don't plan on rooting it yet. However, I've spent hours downloading apps, placing icons and widgets where I like them on my screen. I also created google chrome website via link icons on my screens to quickly access my favorite websites.
Is there a App on the play store that will restore the apps, settings, wallpaper, icons and widgets?
So far I see there's titanium and nandroid (requires root) and mybackup (without root).
*I was happy to get rid of all my apple products but only miss the restore function

Under settings go to Backup and Reset. Make sure Back up my Data and Automatic Restore are selected. It will save your settings and a list of your apps on Google's servers. When you re-setup your Google account your apps will automatically re-download and install.

You can use wug's nexus root toolkit, take a full apps backup with data and shared folder. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

TitaniumBackup ruins notifications

After flashing a ROM, I tried installing Titanium Backup and restore my app+app data on a game I got a lot of progress. The only problem is (and this has happened after restoring with other ROMs too), is that when I restore with Titanium backup, that specific app that I restore no longer receives notifications. I tried clearing the cache, but that doesn't work. I tried removing game, and installing directly from play store, and notification receive just fine. But if I install the APP DATA from titanium backup, the notifications stop working.
I don't want to have to start all over again and beat hours of levels just for notifications.
Any fix on this?

any update, please?

Sounds pretty buggy to me. My guess is that the game might have been storing data somewhere it shouldn't have been (and therefore TiBu missed it?).
To be clear, after installing from the market, you're only restoring the Data part (not app & data)? Your post seemed pretty clear, but just checking.
Further, I suggest, looking through all the settings in the game itself and see if something got reset within the game. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas, sorry.

I've tried both. I've tried restoring App+Data via TiBu. I've also tried installing from the market and only restoring the data portion.

I've tried switching off/on the notification setting in game. Still doesn't notify me unless I manually open the game. The game is called "Super StickMan Golf 2". I've gotten so far and I don't' want to have to do it all over again. Especially since it's multiplayer and the skills you've earned carry with you into multiplayer sessions.

TB messed my textplus notification as well.

It's weird because some apps work that TB restored. For example, I also restored SnapChat with TB, and those notifications work perfect. Except other applications don't (like SuperStickManGolf 2) unless they are installed fresh from the market.

You'll find that tibu is far from perfect. It takes longer, but I almost always restore apps from the store after flashing. There are a few I know tibu will restore and I selectively restore those and get the rest from the store. Also, don't restore system data.

It almost makes TiBu worthless if you can't (or preferably shouldn't) restore the app's data from it. It's too bad they don't have a fix for this. Again, all my other apps (+notifications) work from TiBu's restore (app+data), except Super Stickman Golf 2. ARGH...
If someone finds a fix for this, I'll marry them.... forever

This just happened to me as well but to all restored apps that have notifications. I tried restoring with helium and the same thing happened. Reinstalling the app fixes it. Pretty odd.

Anybody ever find a solution to the SSG2 notifications?
Not willing to lose my single player progress but would love to get those multiplayer notifications working again...

@kalmoa Notifications on this game are jacked in general it seems like. I've started over from scratch and still receive no notifications anymore. Every now and then I'll get one with no rhyme or reason. Sooo annoying.

deleting unwanted stuf or bloatware?

hello!
i 'd like to know if there is a list of safe to remove or freeze apps or android services we don't need or don't harm the device.

Yes. Several threads. Use search button and don't post question here.

I use this trick. Install titanium backup and try freezing things. If you're like me, you use all of Google's apps, so really have no need for things like LG's web browser, email, file browser, etc. These are all safe to get rid of, but just to be safe, use the "freeze" button in titanium. If, after a while, everything seems to be OK, go ahead and delete the frozen stuff. This way you're not screwed if you accidentally get rid of something important

How to get Samsung Cloud

First off shout out to Vmmatty over in the Android central forum http://goo.gl/kha4Uy
It seems that Verizon is trying to be sneaky and just hide Samsung Cloud to push you towards their cloud. But it's actually there, they just hid the icon.
If you use an app like quickshortcutmaker and you look for Samsung Backup and Restore (com.samsung.android.scloud)
You can create a short cut for it and boom. You can now access Samsung Cloud and get your free 15gb.

Nice! I just did a backup on everything but my apps. Worked like a charm and my free 15gb are showing. Thanks for this!!

Nice, I noticed the app was in the firmware last night but wasn't sure how they hid it.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! works perfectly, FU Verizon!

Thanks a Lot for this Info, works fine was able to backup my phone , has anyone found the settings for the device maintenance yet or is it completely non existent ?

Yeah, backup worked for me as well. I saw the original link to this discovery and was thankful. I find this piece of "bloatware" worthwhile and far more robust than VZW cloud.

Man. I sure wish some more attention and scrutiny would be at Verizon for their low practices

Great find! Sneaky sneaky Vzw

nice find, no option to back up pics though....

Nice
thank you for the great find

Delete smt on Cloud
How to delete or view smt on Cloud? Anyone know how to manager SS Cloud on PC? I want to delete synced gallery, but i can't find any option to do it. Can't tap on Gallery in Samsung cloud usage: prntscr.com/cblhij

is it possible to copy files from cloud to the phone or SD card? anyone tried that?

Keep getting backup failure when it tries to backup apps

Works Great!!! The quickshortcutmaker app is not really intuitive but it work great!

Sounding off.. Me too, as well as a family members phone also failing to backup during Apps.

Same. Apps fail to backup, have tried troubleshooting to no avail.

The solution is to temporarily enable all of your Package Disabler bloat apps, do the Cloud backup, then disable the bloat again.

I was also not able to back up my apps via Samsung Cloud. Your solution worked and allowed backups to complete. I went in and enabled all apps, then after the backup disabled them again. Thanks.
