Backup App.

Hi All, can you recommend a Backup App that will restore my phone to exactly the same way it is set up now, I want to do a factory reset but don't fancy setting everything up again as I have quite a few apps set up. Phil

I've heard great things about Helium but have never used it since I'm rooted and use Titanium. Great developer too:

Keep in mind any app you use will backup and restore your apps and data, but will not restore your Home screens the way you had them. You will have to put your apps on the screens manually.

Unless youre using a custom launcher with backup option :thumbup:

Such as?
Okay, AFAIK: GoLauncher, ADW, Apex and Nova all can do this. Great for when I factory reset, Nova get's it all back together in a sec.
Also, if Helium doesn't backup your SMS (like I said never used it...), there's a great app for that:

I've used it a few times on my wife's phone since it's not rooted and she has a gazillion texts. Takes a minute or two, but works great.

Goddamn launchers never backup my widget placements though

Samsung does. Samsung Sync Backup take care of call logs, sms, mms and wallpaper. So along google sync, Helium and Nova, pretty much can restore the entire phone.

Nova does it nearly fine for me usually mate

Not got Nova, got Apex and Holo. Only so many JB launchers I can have
