If it is set up to do so, once you enter your Google account credentials it will automatically download your apps to the device. Otherwise you can go into the play store under your apps and download them.

Once you logged in with Google account in new tablet every app will be installed automatically from play store.

I recommend backing up using Titanium Backup, copy the backup file to the Nexus 7 and restore. This way, your data is also restored. Useful for games or apps that do not have backup capabilities. I.e. Generate data file.

If your titanium backup backups are stored on Google Drive you won't have to transfer any files. If there not then do so now

If you're not rooted you can't backup with titanium and the 1 app at a time is only for restoring with the free version of titanium.

well, that also means we have to be rooted when trying to restore to Nexus7 right?

Yes, Titanium Backup requires root to function in any capacity.

Is there anyway for Titanium Backup Pro (or another Play Store app) to create app+data .apk files that an un-rooted Nexus 7 could install?

ADB backup, perhaps...

download DataSync in the play store...you can transfer apps and data over wifi.

I personally just sync with AppBrain app market. That allows you to automate the process of downloading some what. Not as nice as titanium,buy it is an option that won't force you to root day 1.

Google sync downloads them all. I use adw launcher that allows you to back up app placement on you home screens. Makes it real easy to resetup everything when I flash to a new rom.

Titanium won't work on my play either.
I purchased pro for my hero, and i can install, but the application is just not available in the app draw.
My backup root installs and works fine but i just can't find how to remove the bloatware with it.
I do have root access so what can i use to get rid of what's app, postcard etc ??

Did you also download the free version? Pro download is only the registration key! You need to install both.

Is there anything out there with the ability to backup that doesn't require rotting?
my backup pro, it's what i use tbh i dont always root

No because in order to do a full backup you need R/W Access to the /system and /Data folders
See above you don't have to have root to read only to write.
most of the apps you will back up won't need write access check it out on the market or try it yourself

AFAIK You need root to read from /system and /data/data/ but maybe im wrong. i know for a fact that you need root to even read /system. go check with a file explorer that dosent need root
your right with what your say but for backup you won't need access you don't need to back up system apps anyway.

Root question

Comrades, Just got myself a Nexus7 and rooted it as soon as I got home but titanium backup gives me an error message saying could not open and my device may not be properly rooted!! I used the root tool app.
Can I re root using the same steps without any damage ?
many thanks.:thumbup:

You need to unlock bootloader first before you can root.
Make sure to backup your data, it will be wiped when unlock the bootloader.

Do you really need titanium backup right now? if you just bought it and tried to root it as soon as you got home, you shouldnt have anything on your device of importance do you? lol
if you did get root, titanium needs a busybox installed for it to work. get the busybox app by stericson at the market. open the app, install busybox.

Yes, like most people I've spent a couple of days tweaking, downloading, transferring files and basicly using the tablet.
I did not sit will an empty tablet waiting to sort out the titanium problem. Thanks.

[Q] Noob root question ab out backup

I am planning on using WugFresh's tool to root my Nexus 7 32 gig. Do the backup and restore tools put back all the apps and data or do the apps have to be reinstalled? I just want to be sure I don't lose anything and it would be really nice if I could root and have everything right like it is on the device.
Thanks in advance!
Just use the tool to backup if you don't know how to backup manually.

Backing Up And Restoring ???

Hi Guys i am going to buy a new device tomorrow and sell my nexus 4 i'd like to know what is the easiest way to backup all my data from this device and restore it to my new device ?...
Thanks !

Titanium backup should work, but don't restore any system apps. If you want pics, music etc copy then to your pc and copy then back to your new device

You can also use Helium Backup, it will backup everything including contacts and Apps
