I am moving from an HTC Rezound to the g2 and have all of my apps/data backed up on the rezound sd card. I want to restore the apps data part on my new G2 so I dont lose all the data related to each app. How would I go about doing this since the G2 does not have an sd card slot?
Thanks for any help.

I do this all the time, very easy. First download the titanium app on the G2. Open the app on the G2 and go through the initial setup/screens. Once that is done, plug in your HTC Rezound or sd card into your computer and locate the Titanium folder. It contains all of your apps/data. Save that folder to your computer. Then plug your G2 into the computer and copy and replace the titanium folder on the G2. Remember that there are going to be alot of apps that you wont be using from your old HTC so i recommend running titanium after transfer and deleting all the htc apps that are in titanium and backing up all the apps that are on the G2.
Or you can get MyBackUp Pro and do a Migrate backup.
Install the app on both phones. Make sure both are on the same wifi network & in the same room
On the old phone, hit the migrate option & select the apps & data you want transferred to your new phone.
On the new phone open the same app, go to Migrate hit that and wait for the data to flow from your old phone to the new one in a special zip file.
The new phone will take that zip & unpack the apps & data by itself!
Incredible & easy

Looking for best way to transfer paid apps/data from Hero to Evo. Is it as simple as just swapping the sdcard? I suspect there is phone specific install data embedded on the card.
I used Astro's app backup utility when I installed 2.1 and it worked great. Would that be a way, if I did just swap out cards? Install Astro from the Market and pull in the Hero backed up apps onto the Evo. Give my wife the Evo sdcard for her to start fresh with as she will have the Hero.
It sure would be lovely to get a reply to @soonerbuck's q...
Why don't you use
APPS2SD?
I'm going from a Samsung Vibrant to a G2X. I'm just going to try the G2X for a few weeks and see if I like it. I've been using Titanium on my Samsung for some time now. Do I just copy the Titanium backup folder from my old phone's internal SD and copy to the new phone's SD? Do I move any other files?
Thanks.
That should work no problem. Just don't try to restore system apps and files to the new phone. User apps and data only. And yes all you need is the folder labeled "titanium backup".
Thanks I'll give it a try
yes just copy the titanium backup file to your new phone and download app on new phone
As long as its rooted.

I just tried this while moving from a rooted Droid 1 to rooted Droid 2, I keep getting that the restore fails. Tried various times... is there something I'm missing?
I've never worked with the Droid but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Did you move the file to the removable sd card and then move it from phone to phone or just copy it from one phone to the next with a computer?
Did a full backup with Titanium and moved sd card to the new phone. Tried to restore a few different apps and I keep getting a message that it failed.

ok, take it easy on me boys and girls. I am new to droid (2 months) I am a former Blackberry abuser. So I have an EVO 4G, rooted, I moved my apps to sd card before rooting , and now I can not seem to find them on the card. I know they are still there but can not figure hoe to access and reload them. Can any one guide me on this one?
What do you mean you moved them to the SD card? Like you backed them up or you used the default apps to sd in Froyo?
If you just moved them to the SD card as you would in "manage applications", then you'll need to redownload them - only part of the app is stored on the SD card. If you backed them up, you either need to use the same app you used to back up to restore, or locate the apk files with a file manager and install them.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I think you backed em up to the SD card? Use a file manager like astro. And don't call the evo "Droid"
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Yep, if you moved the apps to the sd card using "manage applications", you didnt actually move the app, jsut the data. So if you rooted and installed a new rom or something, you have now lost all your apps. This is why you should at least make a nandroid backup, and also backup apps with Titanium Backup.
If you got your apps from the android market or amazon appstore, you'll just need to reinstall them from there. Unless you backed-up your app data with something like Titanium Backup, you lost the data in those apps. But you shouldn't need to pay for any of the apps you already bought, just reinstall them.
I am curious about what is the best way to back up apps from my current Evo and restore them on another phone? I'm asking because I shattered my Evo's screen last night after a year of taking such good care of it...and through Asurion I will be receiving an Evo 3D. Sad to leave this dev community, but I will gladly take a dual core phone over my OG.
I use TB Pro to back up and restore between roms. I normally avoid Google's backup/restore app process because it takes too long over the internet, but does that service also backup the data for the apps as well? Like saving all my info in games and such. Thanks for any input
titanium backup, just be careful with what you restore on the new device (system settings for example are a no-no)
How am I going to restore apps that are on another phone with TB?

Go on the sd card of your current phone, copy it, [or use the same sd card] start up new phone, install titanium backup, then simply restore all apps+data, NOT system settings.

This. Also TB allows you to upload your backup to a dropbox account as well, no need to move the SD card but you trade speed for convenience (dropbox process takes longer since it has to upload when the backup is created then download when you restore to the new device)
And BTW OP yes TB will also backup your game data
TB is a sure way
Sorry if this is too basic a question and I should know this already, but... I've currently got a rooted E4GT that I've had for quite some time. I'm planning on moving to the GS4 in a few days and wanted to know how to move certain applications WITH their data intact from the E4GT to the GS4. Prime example would be the application ColorNote. When I install the application on the new GS4 how do I import the existing data that's been saved on the E4GT? I have set the application to backup the data to SD card on the E4GT already but I don't know how to import the backup back into the application (unless it will do it automatically if I put the same SD card into the GS4??).
There are probably other apps as well. I know the data is backed up for each of them but I don't know how to restore to the new phone...
Any pointers for this newbie??
1. DL Helium
2. Select which apps you want to backup... *MAKE SURE YOU SAVE TO EXT SD CARD!*
3. Get your new GS4.
4. Insert your SD Card into your new GS4.
5. DL Helium on your GS4.
6. DL all apps that you backed up to your ext SD Card.
7. Restore app data from Helium from your ext SD Card.
Hopefully that helps man.
