Hello everyone, I wanted to get your guys opinion on which one is better Rom Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup Pro & Root Explorer. I recently played around with Rom Toolbox in a friends phone and wow I was pretty impress with the short time I had with it. It seems to do everything Titanium Backup and Root Explorer do and then some. And I'm wondering what is your guys take on it. Since I was finally gonna cough up the money for titanium backup pro but then i was introduce to this and now I'm contemplating which app should I buy.
Thanks in advance.
Why don't you try them all and decide.
You can download them from the market.
I like TitaniumBackup Pro and Root Explorer separately.
Cheers

I have all 3, and love them all. ROM toolbox has more options, but Titanium Backup gets updated more. Hopefully Titanium Backup will be around for many more phones to come...

I tried the free version to them, except root explore cuz their isn't one. But the reason I was asking is because I'm not sure which one I should buy the Pro version to. Honestly I'm not in a situation to be spending a lot of money, so was looking for only one (at the moment). I think I might end up going for ROM Toolbox Pro. But I was a bit undecided since people only mention Titanium Backup when it comes to backing up your apps/data.
I use all 3, but if I had to choose I would go with TiBu and Root Explorer. Both have worked flawlessly for me for a long time, and as was mentioned, TiBu updates are frequent. Rom Toolbox still needs to become established imo to warrant replacing the other 2.
Hoping to revive this thread because of recent app update...
I am also looking for opinions about ROM Toolbox Pro: I have used the free version a little, and it has undergone a pretty extensive update in the last couple of days....
Wondering if it's worth the $5.00, since I've already paid for the usual tools: TBPro, CWM paid version, SUElite, etc...
Anyone used the new Pro version much? and what's your opinion of its capabilities???

I have the paid versions for all 3, for most common uses tbpro and root explorer are all that's needed, toolbox does add the features from the two plus boot animation (most do not fit our screen), the font changer is nice, about the only thing I really use much with toolbox. Toolbox has a few other features, but I'd say if you already own TB and root explorer then there is no real need for toolbox unless you want to do away with the other two apps and just have an all in one app.

I recently was deciding which to get too and chose titanium backup and root explorer. Quite happy.
Root toolbox does a lot but suffers jack of all trades, master of none syndrome.

Titanium backup pro and root explorer all the way.

I have Rom Toolbox Pro and Rom Manager Pro along with Root Explorer and all 3 I use for different things. Rom Toolbox just keeps getting better and better, it really is making a fanboy out of me. With scripts to turn off camera sounds AND speed up the file system and the ability to run them at boot AUTOMATICALLY with one click? Epic +1. Root Explorer is just friggin awesome and I don't know what I'd use if I didn't have it.
Titanium pro wins for me.Rom toolbox has force closed on me twice (been installed for over a month) over the weekend. Root explorer comes in second.
Toolbox just got update and has some hidden feature. I've yet to find it

I was considering ditching my old stock Droid X "File Manager" app for Astro, but I'm hesitant to do so since the market doesn't have the generic stock one for me to redownload. I discussed this in another thread of mine and the guy that responded said with Titanium backup on my phone Astro is kind of useless. I'm not 100% sure of that. Any thoughts?

Just install Astro and if you don't like it delete it...It doesn't hurt to have both
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I already installed Astro once and liked certain things about it, but the stock file manager has something called "Shared Folders". I was afraid that uninstalling it might mess up the "Media Share" app since Astro doesn't have that particular feature. Other than that I think Astro is more expansive and runs much more smoothly. Does uninstalling the stock file manager mess up Media Share?

Well I guess the OCD in me want my phone to be as "clean" as possible. I hate for apps I don't use to be running in the background and I hate running multiple apps that do the same thing (like "Social Networking" vs Tweetdeck"). Anyway, I appreciate your input. Thanks.

Uh freeze the apps with titanium backup, esp sys apps, then you don't have to worry about trying to reinstall them if they cause malfunctions...
{~DX«Fu$¡¤Π»2.0~}
Nevermind about Astro. I paid for "Root Explorer" last night and I'm pretty darn sure it's superior to any other file manager that I've seen. Also, I renamed the stock File Manager app to ".bak" by using Root Explorer, so now I don't have to worry about reinstalling it if I wanna use it again. I wish I'd done that with all the apps I've uninstalled in the past.... :-(

+1 for Root Explorer.
Root Explorer is by far the best with functionality. You can also get Explorer, which is the free version of it.
Root explorer is MILES ahead of all others hands down.

I just put root explorer on my wifes dinc and it is definitely the best one out there. I just hope she is careful with it lol

Reason I ask is because...I rooted my EVO now everyday I am in the dev section looking for new roms and kernels. I really don't want to deal with that stress with my Tab...Unless I am missing something that's a must have with root.
Tell me...
I don't want to flash a new rom yet as I just got my Tab on Friday. But I must say, rooting is necessary if you want to take full advantage of the device's capabilities. Barring flashing a custom rom.
Applications like Titanium Backup and Market Enabler require the device to be rooted. And those are just the ones I've installed thus far. I'm sure there are many other useful applications out there which require su access.

Is annoying!
Market Enabler and Root Explorer were the deal breakers for me.
Stress? How can rooting be stressful? If anyting, it'll reduce the stress by allowing your device to function properly.

No problems here, maybe try uninstalling TB and reinstalling then trying the pro key again. Silly question, you are rooted right?
Yup, rooted to the foolest! And, yup, I tried the uninstalling and reinstalling thing and still... no glory! Guess i'll play around with it till it kicks in. I just don't understand it. Thanks anyway

Visit the Titanium Backup official site and in particular the wiki.
The feature I use most on TB is the freeze feature. It is also useful to backup settings for programs, like K9 mail, that do not have a backup feature built in.
Useful info. Marv... Thanks.

Hi. Sorry if this has been discussed before, but has anyone noticed MyBackup missing from the Market? Has it always been gone? Hmmmmm...

Me, too- but were you able to get it to work? Every time I tried to use the (paid) MyBackup Pro (which got automatically downloaded the first time since it was a paid app), every time I tried to open it I got a dialog that said "There is a newer version in the Market, would you like to download it" and if you said "Yes", it wasn't in the market after all, and saying "No" aborted the program.
... I've sent a note to the dev, but yeah, since the Titanium Backup and Busybox guy(s) fixed it for the Xoom. TiBR is a better solution after all.
Oh well. Yeah I prefer titanium backup over anything, but I just use mybackup for my call logs. I'm weird and like to keep them. The Xoom is actually missing a few apps. Its only a matter of time!

Enjoy man. I also had a GNexus previously, and I found that the hardware on SGS3 is so much better. Camera, storage, processor, everything is much better. You just have to learn how to deal with Samsung bloatware and be happy
right choice

Removing bloatware requires you to edit Rom and that requires root

Please note he said deactivate, not remove. You can still freeze a lot of the bloat without rooting. Go into system settings - application manager - all. Select the bloat in question then select disable. The bloat will no longer be able to run and won't appear in the app drawer.

But a lot of the bloatware can be removed with root only. The easiest way imo is to root and use titanium backup to freeze them.

Yes I know you need root to remove it. He asked how to deactivate it without rooting. Deactivating != removing.
