Backup apps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to flash a new rom, is there any way to backup all my installed apps (including the ones I paid for) so that after I flash the rom, I can get them back? I don't mind if I lose their settings, I just don't want to have to go back to the Market and manually download each one again. Thanks.

you should try appmanager (search the market)
you can back up most your installed app on your SD card
then you just have to re-install all the apk files...
but the best way I found is to use appbrain: it allows you sync all your apps on the appbrain website, and you can create custom lists of apps as backups...
check appbrain website for more details

Astro File manager, it includes an App backup function, and it's free:
search for it on Android Market
OR
Spritesoftware Android Backup, it is ONE U$D only:

Here is a link to Astro:
http://www.androidfreeware.org/download/astro-file-manager-2.2.4

Titanium Backup.
- It does BATCH backup and restore of all your apps (including the paid ones), along with all their corresponding data and settings...It can even do this in the background (with updates in the notification bar).
The donate version ($4 minimum) gets you Hypershell, which makes everything that TB does about 2x faster (or more).
I've got the Nexus One and between Modaco's Desire ROM updates and CyanogenMod-5 ROM updates, I switch back and forth all the time. TB makes the whole process a heck of a lot easier. HIGHLY recommended.

Thanks, I installed Astro and it backed up most of my apps, but it didn't let me backup a few of them (it said "private" and wouldn't let me check them off to back them up) and it wouldn't backup any of the paid apps. So I might try Titanium Backup instead like Namuna suggested.

Does appbrain let you backup paid apps, and apps you've already installed prior to using appbrain?

You cannot backup private applications. It's a security thing.
I use ASTRO for backing up applications and vCardIO for contacts.

So if I upgrade my ROM, I have to re-buy all the paid apps that I've already bought?

No, and Titanium Backup backs up paid apps, free apps, backs up all of the settings and backs up the market links so when you restore them, you can still get updates.
Best app for the job by far, the free version works great but I highly suggest donating. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
As for paid apps, they actually are linked to you account so you don't need to back them up, they appear in your downloads list in the market when you sync to your Google account without you doing anything

I'm really embarrassed to ask such a noob question, but my N1 isn't currently rooted. I'd like to root it to have OpenVPN functionality. I work with computers, understand that rooting breaks some of the security and have read several guides.
Anyway, how do I back up? Everywhere I read things like "Use Titanium backup, you must have root access on your phone for this."
What I want to do is to back up my settings, and back up any license keys for apps that I have. (Do I need to do that?)
Also, from what I'd read, its a good idea to backup the pre-installed google apps prior to rooting. How do I do that?
And how about my contacts, sms messages etc?
I have read that Astro was useful for backing up apps. I already had Astro so I backed up all my apps, I'm just not sure if that's the same sort of backup as needed in this case.
It must be a stupid question but I don't see an answer out there.
Thanks.

I said that I'd already backed up my apps with Astro (although I did wonder where the backup had been stored).
Thanks for the Spritesoftware Backup tip though, looks useful.
I've read that the licenses are associated with the google account rather than being files stored on the phone so that should not be a problem.
And I think that the google apps can now be redownloaded but I'll check on that.
Thanks again

U may also use AppMonster Pro - it makes backups for all the software installed, and also when upgrading to a newer version.

you can use "estrong' file explorer ,and it is free

MyBackUp Pro
I use MyBackUp Pro as it two different back up options and allows you to backup to SD or Cloud:
1) Apps; Apps+data --> allows you to backup most of your paid apps too.
2) Data (includes the home screen).
Can tick all to restore all, or you can include individual items.
Then when restoring after a wipe, restore apps first, then Data, so that your home screen restoration works (if you do it the other way the widgets will not load as there isn't an app installed yet).
There used to be a free version which was the full version yet limited to 30 days - check the market.

So does that also include mp3s and documents? I've got a bunch of stuff on my kindle fire, but I don't want to lose some of the music I have. I've backed it up on my computer, but I'm not sure where to get some of the things I use.

[Q] How to properly use Titanum Backup

Ok, I have finally convinced my wife to let me play with her vibrant. I plan on rooting it tonight but before I put the new ROM on her phone she wants me to try to backup her apps. She does not want to lose all of her data for her current apps. Stock 2.2 is always freezing or messing up on her and she is getting really annoyed!
My question is this, in order for me to move everything over (app and data) is there a step by step guide for Titanium Backup so I can do this properly?
(When I did it to my phone, I screwed up and lost everything on my vibrant and I don't want to do this again.)
I know with MIUI it has a backup feature which is awesome and this is more than likely what I will put on her phone.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
It is pretty simple really. In Titanium just hit batch and backup all apps plus data. You can also choose to save the backup on external micro sdcard just in case.
When I did that last time it wouldn't put everything back I guess I don't understand the process
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
What exactly did it not restore? Hit menu and batch and you can see what apps you are going to back up. Similarly when you are restoring you can see the list and it also gives you option to restore the app + data or just the apps. Just make sure after making a backup that you have backed up every app that you wanted.
It shows you everything in batch menu screen.

Only one other suggestion I have is do not back up system apps. Restoring system apps + data doesn't work nicely with one ROM to another. Just use backup user apps menu.

If you are going to MIUI, use Titanium Backup sparingly. Do not restore any system (red) apps and do not restore apps offered in the ROM. When I first went to MIUI, I restored my apps one at a time rather than use restore all apps. I didn't have an issue nor did I lose any data. Also, do a nandroid backup and I would backup all the files on the phone to your computer. This way you can move the apps to the system/app folder if things go south. I hope she enjoys MIUI, I do.
How do I move the files to the computer?? What folder is it located in? Do i need to download root explorer for this...I have to completely redo her entire phone and I plan on wiping everything and starting from scratch, I believe somehow someway something was messed up and Miui did not install properly. I want to start her over from scratch like a brand new vibrant off the showroom floor.
Hook your phone up to your PC and pull off the folder called TitaniumBackup and put it on you desktop. Once you "clean" your phone, you can put all that back on your SDcard. Pretty easy really.
titanium backup has a dropbox option now which backs everything up to your dropbox.
and unless she's using google voice, she's going to lost her text messages. similarly with call history. contacts and wifi stuff should be backed up with the google account. so, like the picture posted above, just 'backup all user apps' then after flashing the new rom 'restore all apps with data'.
Backup and restore problem Titanum Backup 8.4.0.2 PRO / Galaxy S9 Plus
Hi
I have used TB 2-3 yrs ago and it wask ok..not many problems.
No I have a problem with all backup jobs I make..all of them not are marked with these smilies but ? ( I guess smilies means OK and no error backup and "?" means some error/missing in backup
And; when I restore a OLD backup With smilies, after the restore the smilies is away/missing and this "?" have apper instead of the smilies, so it seems that TB destroy the old OK backup after it is restored.
Can this error be a fail in options? Something I have to set in options for get it to work?
Hope for answerd ( and hope this quest is posted in correct group. If not, pls tell me
Regards

First and foremost WRONG SECTION.... U think asking question in Original android development section is rite??
BTW stock apps means system apps only... The apps u install from outside is third party apps... U asking abt the apps u installed before or installed after flashing?? Before means obvi it ll be in SD card.. After means it be ll in ROM...

I'm talking about this
that does nothing.
that screen only comes up, when you flashed a stock ICS 4.0.3 rom without wipe. it does not actually install apps, it just scans app folders like /system/app/ and /data/app for already installed apps to integrate in the launcher. maybe it also checks compatibility with android 4. but at the moment that screen shows up, all apps are already installed.
it is just a marketing thingy to pretend to perform app migration after upgrading the OS. if you upgrade through kies and had auto-restart checked and were unable to get to recovery to perform a factory reset prior to the first boot, you will see that screen appear after the first boot "installing" all your apps. then if you reboot into recovery, factory reset the phone and reboot, you will see it only "installs" the few stock apps and all user apps are gone.
this migration, together with not wiping your phone when flashing, will make it slow and unstable over time. it is the same thing with a windows pc. of course one could upgrade the OS, say, from vista to 7, and installed programs and settings might get migrated but in the end, everybody who knows, what they are doing, will still format c: prior to installing a new OS and install the programs afterwards for them to run perfectly.
and all stock apps, that survive a factory reset, wipe are in fact system apps in /system/app
they can still disappear when flashing a new rom.
your best bet is to backup all your apps with titanium backup pro and after flashing a rom or performing a factory reset, you select batch and restore all user apps + data. that way, you can simply install 100+ apps with a few clicks, and their respective settings (scores, customizations...) will be restored as well, which would not be the case with the way you suggested.
so, not only is your way not practical, it is also next to impossible. and it would make no sense, crumming all user apps in the 512MB system partition and leaving the 2GB data partition empty.

thanks for replying
sure I'll not put my all apps in the system/app. I made a rom and put my apps in the data/app and after flashing I got all of my applications installed and working too except some of google apps like google+ and drive. I think that screen shows us it's installing the apps not just scanning, because I searched the rom for these apps I didn't find it, so I think it's packed somewhere and I hope to find it

Sorry, no way. There is no possibility to run this app on higher android - as I wrote before. It is not supported.
YOU CAN EXTRACT IT, maybe installation could work too, but you cant run it and restore your old backup...
Maybe when you use some Costum ROM based on official ROM with android 2.1
EDIT: Official infos from SE -> Not supported on 2.3+

No you cannot backup app data without backuping the app first. In Titanium Backup the main function is backuping the apk of the apps which cannot be deselected. The selectable options present are only for backuping app cache and external data etc.
But you can recover only the data without the app. So after setting up a new rom, you can install the apps from play store and then recover the app data with titanium backup.

You can use labels to only back up selected apps. So give the apps a label and then run a script saying to only backup apps with this label.

Can't stop phone from contacting google

Hello everyone,
I'm using several non-root samsung devices (S8, S9, S10, S20) and I've been removing everything google related. On purpose, I've removed many features/services (NFS, GPS, etc) and I only want them to act as normal phones. I also test them to see how they behave when connected to a wifi, to see if they try to connect to a remote system. Based on my limited testing, the phones use amazon AWS to get version information for samsung updates.
Unfortunately, the S10 and S20 also constantly connect to google at
172.217.169.164:443
216.58.206.163:80
But I can't figure out which packages are to blame. So far, I've uninstalled everything related to google (framework, play store, services, apps, etc). Anyone knows how to figure out which apps are trying to communicate to google?
Thank you.
PS:
here is my blacklist, in case anyone wants to take a look:
https://gitlab.com/samcleaner/samcleaner/-/blob/master/assets/blacklist.json
I have reason to believe that the package "com.sem.factoryapp" is the one constantly accessing 172.217.x.x.
Still not sure about the other IP address, but if pointed to by a browser it comes up with google.com search page.
Hi mate , in my case I installed netguard to block the Google stuff from accessing the internet,,,
I have a question since you published this script you may have some knowledge about adb :
Can we backup a non rooted phone's settings using ADB ?
I want to backup all my settings in the settings app, and the debloated apps as well, because it's a real hassle to go all over from the start if we reset the phone.

@Maybeyou using recovery mode, you can backup user data, it backup all your apps, 2FA apps, settings, etc.. even sd card encryption key in case it's encrypted or you use the extended internal memory option using sd card on android 6
it will generate several high size files on your sd card, and you'll be able to restore you data using the restore function
next time, open your own thread though.

Of course you can backup a phone by means of ADB: this has the advantage the backup gets stored on your PC's disk space - you define the location., whereas Android's stock recovery allows you to backup the phone only to a SDHC-card inserted what must have a storage capacity of >= phone's internal storage size.

Sorry bro for asking my question here in your thread, I still don't know how to backup settings and the debloated apps :
In the non rooted Samsung with android 9 stock recovery, there's "apply update from adb" options and it says " adb sideload" when selected , but I don't know what to do from adb on PC, and another option " apply update from sd card" . Is that what you referring to by using recovery? Can you show me how to proceed please

Of course you can backup a phone by means of ADB: this has the advantage the backup gets stored on your PC's disk space - you define the location., whereas Android's stock recovery allows you to backup the phone only to a SDHC-card inserted what must have a storage capacity of >= phone's internal storage size.

Thank you very much sir, I did a duckduckgo search yesterday ? but didn't found anything useful
Anyway thank you , I'm gonna try to backup right now ?
Update after backing up my non rooted Samsung by using " Adb backup -apk all -shared .....".
I had to reset my phone so I tried " adb restore backup.adb " it didn't restored my debloated version of the firmware, it only restored the apps that I did install + medias like photos and videos .
Is there any solution for that deprecated command ?
