Does anyone know what it is in a ROM, that when you sign into Gmail, it downloads all your applications that were installed on your device? Ive noticed alot of ROM's lately that are lacking this feature, and was curious as to what allows a ROM to do this.
Thanks
Your market saves all your paid apps. The rest you have to have a backup with like titanium backup

no offense. really, but thats not true. if you use a g2, or nexus s, or cm7, when you sign into gmail ALL your apps re download back to your device
Oh right forgot bout that lol feel kinda dumb... But that is true.

It also happens in the Glacier.
My theory is this. the first time you sign into your Google account via a Android phone it picks up the phone model. and the first time you sign in it figures you just got that phone so it will re-download the apps to that phone. and once you change ROMs and resign in it think "hey this phone already as the apps" so it doesn't kick it to the new ROM.
In any case the best thing to do is use Titanium Backup.
Sounds like a good theory to me.

Check under settings /privacy /back up + auto restore. I believe that's what the initial setup access.
I don't like it, new rom = new app install, just easier to eliminate problems not related to rom.

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.
I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

But did you wipe everything before/after the flash?

Yes, everything but the (obviously) external sd card.
The only thing I didn't do was repartition. Do you think that could fix it?

Try repartition. I did with 512 pit and no problems installed this way on 6 phones.
Good luck.

This to me seems like a problem with Titanium Backup: because both times you experienced it after using it, and no one else here have reported anything like that with JVK.

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

It explains everything related to the backup with TB and why you're experiencing this error.
It happened to me exactly the same..its because you used Titanium and restored system data.

I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

Ok, I'll give it Google sync a try and backup my data using other means. Does anyone know how long does it take to make a full backup via Google?
And will this include wifi and apn settings?
Thanks again

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.
Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?
Thanks once more

Hey, I'm new to android (own all apple gear, iPhone, iPad, ATV ect.) I just purchased a nexus 7 about a month ago and am pretty comfortable with it now. I rooted and unlocked and am wondering how I make a full system back up. I have been reading web pages and forms for days and found thousands of methods but most require a insane amount of steps and various programs. I'm just wondering if someone can let me know of a app that allows a complete backup (ie. All my apps, games and saves, settings, screen layout) kind of like a iCloud backup.
P.S. I'm aware of titanium backup, from what I'm reading all this app does is back up apps/games and their settings/saves along with everything else out there... I want to save everything ! Including my screen setup, widgets, settings, everything
Thx !

Titanium backup, save your apps with your apps data.

But does titanium back up settings...like home screens set up for example?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Use a custom recovery like twrp or cwm,easiest full backup ever.If you want to be able to update or change rom with same apps and data after install then titanium is a god send.

Of course, titanium backup apps and it's data. Means, all your setting or score (games) will be backed up.

I'm happy with twrp it handles the encryption does everything I need
Does anyone know a good app that will sync a folder on your phone and computer over wifi? It would be nice if I made a change to the fold on the computer or on the phone if it would mimic that on the other.

Sorry I should have gave more info, it's for music. Mostly flac files. I don't want to stream that much lol my data plan would be shot. Since I have a lot of music and download some straight from my phone and do a lot of work to rename folders and songs it would be nice to have it update on both but not were I have to stream them.

For anyone looking for this I found an awesome one. Cheetah sync is what I just started using. You can choose to sync from computer to phone, phone to computer or two way. It's free but it looks like you have to pay 2.99 after a trial period.

Titanium Backup (worth the money) has a media sync add-on that sounds like it would do what you want. I haven't tried it (don't need it).
It does require root, but that's already done
If you have a file server set up (or you have "shared folders" set up in Windows) AndSMB works really well.

What about titanium media sync?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I thought about trying titanium media sync but wasn't sure if it's what I was looking for. Haven't heard of andsmb. Cheetah sync seems to be working well. It is nice because I can choose to 2 way sync where if I have deleted a duplicate or added tags or changed a song title it will update on the computer as well

FolderSync
Airdroid
Personally I use AirDroid, and I love it for syncing music/movies and whatnot. You can change up files on there also.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
I'm using airdroid too, it's not a syncing service, but it gets the job done. As happy as I am switching back to an android device,I really miss iTunes sync, even the tethered sync beats anything I've found for android.

The App you are looking for is BtSync http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html
It can sync folder between multiple devices, it can sync files through wifi LAN or through internet, there is option to sync through wifi only.
BtSynce is available for Android, windows, linux, mac and even for NAS devices :good:
Its very efficient in syncing large multimedia files, also its free.
Google drive?

Samsung Kies if your on windows/os x
I don't have access to a laptop or computer are there any other options
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
does kies include saving app data like saving game progress, for example you reach level 10 of a certain game with 100 credits, etc . kies is cumbersome for transferring text messages.. not sure if it will work with whatsapp messages too.
i am asking this because soon i will upgrade too to the note 3 and I dont root also. how about the titanium/helium i keep hearing about? thanks, thanks
I tried helium but it kept asking to connect to computer I thought I could just save to sd card

Good Luck with the backup. I found whilst moving from IOS to Android that the backup for non rooted devices leaves a lot to be desired. This is one area Sammy needs to get sorted out properly. I mean can they not emulate / copy itunes or somethng? lol
itunes saves app data? sorry im clueless about apple-related stuff lol.
some of the games i play can be stored in google cloud but i am not sure if it will work properly on a new phone.
craigel, from what i understand, for sd cards you can store pics, files, etc, as well as apps, just not the complete app data if i am not mistaken
Don't rely on kies. It's garbage.
Try Mybackup
