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 ??
Uninstaller for root

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.

If you have a rooted phone you can use rootexplorer to remove some unwanted apps from the system/app folder there is somewhere on this G3 forum a list with apps you can remove but for the moment i cant find the name of the thread

Here, at the end of this post ("Clean ROM" section): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15391697&postcount=5
And I recommend you Titanium Backup. The free version just works.
i recommend the es file explorer as an alternative.
use titanium explorer
backup the apps you wanna remove and then remove them
even if you run into probs you can restore from the backup

[Q] Titanium backup and ICS ROMS

Didn't see this question asked in My Touch forum so here goes.
I backed up all my apps with TB and flashed from Energy Rom to Blackwings ICSandwhich. Full wipes and the whole 9. When on BW's ROM I can't get TB to restore apps. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Don't install backups from GB to ICS or vice versa.
It causes problem.

You can restore apps, just not data. Except for ics only apps, don't restore those on a ginger bread rom.

Well, ok, yes. Sorry. I use titanium to restore my data. If I want an app by itself I get it from the market to ensure the latest version. Silly me.

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.
