On non-rooted only! Not interested in rooting.
Is there anything (samsung, carrier, google play app) that can move all the settings from an identical phone to another.
Must be like 400 settings I changed and then it seems like every app needs to be tweaked and have the account info put in again.
I mean yeah, photos, contacts, apps all come back down but ...WOW still a lot left to do, I spent hours doing it manually.

you could try mybackup pro
My backup pro don't work without root. Without root you can only backup apps, but no data and setting from the app.
Only HELIUM works without root!

Thanks
From the play verbiage it look like "MyBackup and MyBackup Pro will work on all Android mobile devices, regardless if they have root access or not."
I will try it.
I tried Helium and seems to work but seems it is only app settings and data - no system settings. Although, I haven't tried a restore yet so who knows if it really works but it backed up.

Of course will work MyBackup on all devices, but the App - Data Backup need root.
Maybe you should use booth
Helium is good for Backup Apps including App-Data

Both is the conclusion I came to.
My Backup for system settings
Helium for app settings.
But unless someone knows for sure I wont find out if that is a successful strategy till I am forced to.

So I understand the idea of switching roms, but there's a lot more to my phone that makes it useful. While a lot of data will be fine (all data that sync with google will automatically be pulled in), I'm worried about the rest of my data, such as apps and the way I have them configured. I'd imagine its annoying to have to reset them each time I install a new rom.
Is there any proper way of handling this so that one can flash a new rom, but automatically install one's apps as well as perhaps reset their configured state to the state one saved?
just wondering what's considered the best way to handle this?
Titanium backup gets most of it, adw has settings backups... Its tollerable and you get quick at it.

Some flashes allow you to do an advanced restore/data, too. And many apps allow you to save/export/import your settings.

My backup pro is great for apps and data, wont lose angry birds progress.

Titanium, but it's not all smooth sailing. Many times, it won't relink 5-10 apps to the store, and the fixer wizard thing won't work. You have to reinstall the app... but the data is still okay.
Can we start generating a safe to disable list for the Nexus 10? Or I suppose, a consequences of disabling list would be more appropriate.
I've seen lists for other devices, but usually the lists are filled with manufacturer installed bloatware.
I have disabled Currents, Google Search, and Google+ with no noticeable problems.
I've done youtube, talk, maps, google+, google play movies/magazines/books/music, earth, currents, and exchange services. The strange thing is, some of the start-up processes for these apps are still running. I want to disable NFC and Wallet, but I a few folks mentioned something about corrupting their NFC chip (on other devices), so I'm a little concerned.
If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup to "freeze" them, then they can't start services.
If you don't want to buy titanium backup, and you're rooted, just use a file explorer to rename or delete them in /system/apps

Great, I purchased titanium backup a while ago, but didn't realize that freeze was different than disable in the settings/app menu. Thanks for the info.

I don't think there's a difference between the two
Except not everything you can disable in settings/apps,TB you can freeze anything
But freeze/disable has same effect
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is like a thing in google play or an app wich can just save/remember the apps you have each time. I install roms on a lot of android devices but always hate searching my favorite apps and downloading them all again.
Or do I just need to backup the apps in the recovery or something.
Any help would be appreciated

Paid version here as well. (Namely because the paid version offers a number of little things that help a bit, such as SMS, Call Logs, and other settings in XML which is more compatible with being restored on various devices, also there's the extra troubleshooting if you can't seem to get an app restored).
Helium (formerly Carbon) ftmfw! Not only will it let you back up app data only if desired (very useful as it saves space by only backing up the app data e.g. account info, saved games etc) and save backups to the cloud, you can sync app data across multiple devices so you can carry on your Angry Birds mayhem on your tablet right where you left off on your phone. I have the paid version of Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox Pro and Helium and by far Helium is king

After flashing a ROM, I tried installing Titanium Backup and restore my app+app data on a game I got a lot of progress. The only problem is (and this has happened after restoring with other ROMs too), is that when I restore with Titanium backup, that specific app that I restore no longer receives notifications. I tried clearing the cache, but that doesn't work. I tried removing game, and installing directly from play store, and notification receive just fine. But if I install the APP DATA from titanium backup, the notifications stop working.
I don't want to have to start all over again and beat hours of levels just for notifications.
Any fix on this?
any update, please?
Sounds pretty buggy to me. My guess is that the game might have been storing data somewhere it shouldn't have been (and therefore TiBu missed it?).
To be clear, after installing from the market, you're only restoring the Data part (not app & data)? Your post seemed pretty clear, but just checking.
Further, I suggest, looking through all the settings in the game itself and see if something got reset within the game. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas, sorry.

I've tried both. I've tried restoring App+Data via TiBu. I've also tried installing from the market and only restoring the data portion.

I've tried switching off/on the notification setting in game. Still doesn't notify me unless I manually open the game. The game is called "Super StickMan Golf 2". I've gotten so far and I don't' want to have to do it all over again. Especially since it's multiplayer and the skills you've earned carry with you into multiplayer sessions.
TB messed my textplus notification as well.

It's weird because some apps work that TB restored. For example, I also restored SnapChat with TB, and those notifications work perfect. Except other applications don't (like SuperStickManGolf 2) unless they are installed fresh from the market.

You'll find that tibu is far from perfect. It takes longer, but I almost always restore apps from the store after flashing. There are a few I know tibu will restore and I selectively restore those and get the rest from the store. Also, don't restore system data.

It almost makes TiBu worthless if you can't (or preferably shouldn't) restore the app's data from it. It's too bad they don't have a fix for this. Again, all my other apps (+notifications) work from TiBu's restore (app+data), except Super Stickman Golf 2. ARGH...
If someone finds a fix for this, I'll marry them.... forever
This just happened to me as well but to all restored apps that have notifications. I tried restoring with helium and the same thing happened. Reinstalling the app fixes it. Pretty odd.
Anybody ever find a solution to the SSG2 notifications?
Not willing to lose my single player progress but would love to get those multiplayer notifications working again...
@kalmoa Notifications on this game are jacked in general it seems like. I've started over from scratch and still receive no notifications anymore. Every now and then I'll get one with no rhyme or reason. Sooo annoying.
First off shout out to Vmmatty over in the Android central forum http://goo.gl/kha4Uy
It seems that Verizon is trying to be sneaky and just hide Samsung Cloud to push you towards their cloud. But it's actually there, they just hid the icon.
If you use an app like quickshortcutmaker and you look for Samsung Backup and Restore (com.samsung.android.scloud)
You can create a short cut for it and boom. You can now access Samsung Cloud and get your free 15gb.
Nice! I just did a backup on everything but my apps. Worked like a charm and my free 15gb are showing. Thanks for this!!

Nice, I noticed the app was in the firmware last night but wasn't sure how they hid it.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! works perfectly, FU Verizon!
Thanks a Lot for this Info, works fine was able to backup my phone , has anyone found the settings for the device maintenance yet or is it completely non existent ?
Yeah, backup worked for me as well. I saw the original link to this discovery and was thankful. I find this piece of "bloatware" worthwhile and far more robust than VZW cloud.
Man. I sure wish some more attention and scrutiny would be at Verizon for their low practices

Delete smt on Cloud
How to delete or view smt on Cloud? Anyone know how to manager SS Cloud on PC? I want to delete synced gallery, but i can't find any option to do it. Can't tap on Gallery in Samsung cloud usage: prntscr.com/cblhij
is it possible to copy files from cloud to the phone or SD card? anyone tried that?

Same. Apps fail to backup, have tried troubleshooting to no avail.

The solution is to temporarily enable all of your Package Disabler bloat apps, do the Cloud backup, then disable the bloat again.

I was also not able to back up my apps via Samsung Cloud. Your solution worked and allowed backups to complete. I went in and enabled all apps, then after the backup disabled them again. Thanks.
