Stock non-rooted ics to jb upgrade, backup/restore apps and data

Hello all, a totally stock 8013, never rooted.
I use it for work so I would appreciate the best way of backing up and restoring that will get my app data, and background and apps back on my tablet as quick and easy as possible.
I would use Titanium backup but again not root which makes my table a great candidate for upgrade.
Thanks for the advice!

You shouldnt lose any apps when you update so I think itll be ok.

yes if you upgrade from ICS or any previous version to 4.1.2 You will not loose any data
If your device is upgraded by the OTA update you will for sure not loose any date
To use titanium back to back and restore you need to be rooted

I need the same, no root necessary and a Backup/Restore app, I saw Simple ADB Backup, does any body know it?

[Q] Migration advice?

I am currently on Verizon Gnex that is running Cyanogenmod. When I get my Note3 it will be my first time moving from one phone to another.
What would be the best way to move my apps (especially the data saved by each app) from a rooted non-stock device to an unrooted stock device?
I currently have titanium backup but since root isnt yet available on the note 3 it doesnt sound like that will be useful.
Thanks for any help / advice you can give..

Although I have not tried it myself, Helium looks like a good option. Does not require root and developed by the infamous Clockworkmod.

I used Helium without issue

I used Helium and everything went swimmingly. Backed up everything on the Note 2, saved in Google Drive, then went to restore on my Note 3. The only drawback is that you have to have all of your apps already downloaded on your new device before you can restore them, though the app does link to that respective app in the Google Play store so that you can redownload it.
i also read about a fix for Titanium Backup users here:

Helium will let you back up the full apps as well as data. It just takes far longer to do so. I like some older versions of apps and some that are no longer available.
And Boom goes the dynamite! now Free

[Q] How to uninstall factory app ?

Hi Guys,
I want to remove some app provided with VRZ notes 3 by default.
i'm talking about amazon, backup and other.
any possible way to do it ?
Thanks in advance.
PS: i did root it already but still impossible to remove.

I typically disable or freeze them, but I believe (not fully positive as I haven't tried it on the note 3) that you can use ROM Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup to uninstall the system apps.

@Diocat, thanks will give it a try and get back for the results.
Beside I've learn that the bootloader has not been released yet by VRZ, so i guess we won't be able to get a custom rom installed until then!?

MyBackup Pro need Root if you want Backup App Data!
Helium works without Root and make a Backup including the App Data

Helium is said to be the only one that works without root - but in my experience it worked for very simple stuff but never worked for more complex things (like restoring your level in Candy Crush).
Also a lot of (Google and Samsung) stuff can be backed-up to Google Cloud and Samsung Cloud.

[Q] Can I delwte bloat myself when rooted?

I have done a lot of reading trying to learn the rooting world.
One thing is unclear to me, once rooted can I delete bloat ware apps as I please? I know many roms delete the bloat but if I stayed on the stock rom can I delete apps that I am not able to delete unrooted? If so, is there a guide for how to do so? Thanks.

Not without a helper app like Titanium Backup ROOT. And I would strongly suggest you backup everything first, just in case you delete a program that you really need.

I use root explorer and just delete the apk's manually. Works the same I would guess.

Or you can manually rename them.

I use Root Explorer and copy the apps that I'm deleting (over 100) to my computer then delete them from the system.
