Hi all. I was wondering if there is a way to backup the STOCK e-mail app (emails, accounts, settings) and WITHOUT ROOT. I have done many searches on Google, but most of the threads are quite old.
Pardon my newbness pls but wont titanium backup work? I mean I think it only needs root when you need to uninstall system apps?

Helium, or just use Google's in built backup - when you reset or anything you log back in to your g account and it auto restores everything for you -- and gives you an option to restore old apps also.

From everything I read Titanium doesn't do a good job with backing up the stock email app.

Are you sure that the google built in backup actually backs up the email accounts and settings??? Even though I have google backup enabled (I think), it has never really restored anything important.

When you re-log back into Google it gives you the option to restore backed up data.

Could always try the grabbing the data folders from the system and put them on your PC, then just swap them after a reset etc. Other than that, there's Google's cloud back up which is built in, or see what else is available (not sure what else there is tbh)
try MyBackup Pro

Did you backup all user apps + system data using Titanium Backup?
If so, clean install EB13, re-root, download TB from Market and restore missing apps and system data. There you go.
If you did not, then you're SOL :/
I'm pretty sure you're intelligent enough to backup, however.
I always did full backup,will the latest one click root work on the update to Froyo..because I had the one-click before
Your contacts should have returned when you synced up with your Google account.

You actually can back-up your contacts from the Contact app on your phone. It puts them right on your SD card in a .vcf file too
Whosdaman: Yeah,that's the best option and I've been using that on my phone too.
problem solved,I already thanked those who helped....Much appreciated!
Im using Titainiam backup (free version), is there anyway to back up all apps/SMS/contacts/other data with just 1 click? From what I can find you have to select each 1 seperatly?

About...3 clicks. Menu -> Batch and from there select the one that fits your needs the best.
Quick question re Titanium Backup.... It says it needs "ROOT", does this mean it will not work with a non-rooted system??
I'm using the standard Orange, non-messed with Android (which I'm quite happy with), can I still use Titanium Backup?

The problem with non-root backups is they can't backup everything.
If you don't want to root, then you will probably not be able to backup your apps+data.

Do you what they won't backup?
TBH, Data I'm not so worried about (everything is backed up to the google account online anyway), it's the apps that I've downloaded and paid for that I don't want to lose.
GoSMS Pro will do this for you. I mnow it is a whole seperate SMS app, but it is a guaranteed way for it to work, and doesn't take long. And you might find you like it for SMS anyway

You [will] would not lose anything, they are always available for re-download on the Market or the AppBrain Android Market, unless you use their remove option to remove them from either of your lists of Apps.

What is stuck in root?
When ever a App tries to gain Root Access for the first time Superuser will appear on your screen and Ask if you what to give the App Root Permission or not, and whether to remember the permissions that are given [the default is remember].

Mind you - it's all academic anyway because I have no idea when (or even if) I'll be getting the update. Still seem to be stuck on 1.84.61.2 (as far as I can see). Orange aren't known for their speed on software upgrades.

You sure about that? I am sure google only keeps a copy (id) of what you have downloaded, but not the data within the app. So for example you bought a game, google will know you have bought the game so you can download it, but the data on the game will be lost, i.e. high scores etc...
And also, what about data from apps that you have not use a store, i.e. you used an installer to install it, the data will be lost for that app.
MyBackup Pro is good, but it can't backup the data within the apps (unroot) and that is the problem because of google security.
yes i know that but the superuser app dont appear for me i dont know why?and its just for this app.all other apps appear for me and there is no problem.when i start the app its i get trying to gain root access and the superuser app dont appear???
so this is a no go then

Yes I am sure of what I wrote, I did not say anything about data being stored.
I do not know about what MyBackUp can and can not do.
Titanium BackUp can back up all Apps and Data. [data can not be restore to a different Rom though]

Do you a CWM installed, if so you could try booting in to recovery, and use the fix permissions to see if it helps to clear the problem with SU.

I was wondering how to backup an app WITHOUT backing up the data along with it. I have been having permission problems with my restores after flashing new roms. I believe it has something to do with the user data that comes with the apps.
Basically, how do I backup apps alone, without any of my personal data coming along with it?
Is there such a function on Titanium Backup? I have been using this.

With Titanium Backup you can restore Apps one by one. or as a batch option. You do not have to back up personal data with the app data.
This is what i do when i switch ROMs. I just skip the sign in, then log in via the accounts and sync option, then use the market to download T/Backup and batch restore and allow Google to re-sync my phone and use tit/bac for my apps.

Right, that is what I meant. When you just backup apps alone, the app data comes along with it. For example, when I restore angry birds alone, I still have all of my accolades. I was wondering how I could restore apps similar to freshly installing it onto my phone.

Yes. If you do a batch restore you can have it do "restore apps with data" and it will act like you never left the game.

Yes you can also restore apps w/o user data.
you can also unlink apps from the market. So like with the recent flash update you can unlink the app from the market so you do not get market updates. so i can keep 10.1 and not worry about 10.2.
So how would I do that?

Backup an app, then restore it as a fresh app without any data from before.

after you've rooted
after you've made sure s=off
you need to install the TB from the market and the Pro Key
once you you do that open the app up, download BusyBox via the "problems" button.
Then go to the "backup/restore" button and pick what you want to freeze/backup/restore
if you want to do a batch option from the main screen press the menu > BATCH > then select what you want to .

You can also try MyBackup Root. Its free and a little easier to use than Titanium. Seems to work great for me.
As well as ES file explorer or AntTek app manager.

hey i used titanium backup to backup all my apps while im waiting for x10a global generic. i've never restored from titanium backup before. how does it work? does it just create a log file for you to automatically redownload everything on the market or does it actually store everything locally and restore them that way once i reinstall titanium after the new flash? i ask because many applications have many settings and saved information. like password keeper, i'd like to know if i need to write all those down in the event that i will be redownloading the program all over again, thanks.

It stores apks and its data locally, in your SD card so, no you won't need to download your apps again.

Is password keeper an app? If so, I believe it may. However, I cannot confirm for I have not tried it. Application settings, saved games, yes. But be reminded depending on the different roms you switch, the application data may result error with the app, which is why sometimes I only restore the app when that happens. Or you can make an extra backup with MyBackup Pro, just to be on the safe side.
I use keeper and Titanium restored it with all my passwords between my firmware upgrades and wipes. However I am with x10a and I am afraid of what it will occur with 2.1 to 2.3.

Am I doing something wrong? I've restored the calls using a special program that makes its own backup, but I'd rather do it all from within TB if that was possible.
I've restored all of the green items and rebooted, but the logs did not come back.
I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that TB backs up call logs. As much as the developer maintains it you'd think he would build that in, but I'm not aware of such a feature.
Called logs are part of 'system data', which I don't think is a 'green item' in TB. Try restoring all system data. Also, if you are going from one version of Android to another, you may have to enable "migrate system data" option in TB's preferences.
"Dialer Storage" is the item that holds your call logs and sms/mms messages
It backs up my call logs...
Also, this would be better in q & a

My logs are restored when I use restore all apps and system data. You have to be careful about doing that between firmware versions.

I use both this and TB. Personally I like MyBackup for backup and restore of SMS, MMS, and call logs. TB I use for restoring individual applications and their data. But I used both to backup everything just in case one of them fails to backup and/or restore something.
