Hey, to backup my apps data, preferences, etc, would my backup or Titanium be better (I'd have to use free versions). Also I need to make sure my Dolphin bookmarks also get saved & its REALLY important that the stuff I have in my phones stock calendar gets saved.

Thanks any help
 
Ok thanks. I think I may have just found a way to actually get titanium pro too. I've seen alot of people strongly recommend it (over the free version). I may go ahead &see if I can manage to get the paid version of my backup too.
 
Just keep in mind with any backup program, if ur going from one version of android to another, for example stock phone to cm7 or something

Be sure to not load any system files or info or it'll play games with the new rom


I personally don't use a backup program for apps and such, I do use SMS Backup + which syncs to ur Google account and allows you to save calander, call log, and texts
 
Ti backup CAN (now) backup/restore text messages, Callender storage, contacts, bookmarks, Bluetooth pairings, wifi places, etc.
It can also restore apps/data directly from your Nandroid backup made with clockwork recovery or twrp.

Having said that, doesn't Dolphin have a sync feature? I'm not sure...
 
I was able to get titanium pro 5.3 . I haven't gotten to look to see if it has basically same things as newest versions yet or if I need to get newer version instead
 
You could use CWM backup and get an extremely big SD card (32 GB I believe is the limit for the Triumph). For free backup of your Dolphin Bookmarks, try turning on Sync in Dolphin Browser. For backup of other things, try Carbon. It has a Premium version. You must be on an ICS based ROM to use it though, and the only big advantage Premium has is scheduling and synchronizing between devices. You can sync it to your PC. It has the option of backing up apps plus their data or just app data. It's from the same guy that made ROM Manager.
 
I have just switched from My Backup Pro to Titanium Backup Pro. The interface on MyBackup is probably easier to use at first, but it no longer is able to backup the layout of Trebuchet, the CM9 Launcher. TB does do that. Now I read a few tutorials I prefer TB. Another wierdness with My Backup was all my text messages would be restored using the date they were restored, not the date they arrived. TB gets it right.

I haven't worked out how profiles really work with Titanium, as I tended to use different backup folders for the different levels of Rom, ie, one for Froyo bases, one Gingerbread, and one for ICS. I played with profiles yesterday, but it couldn't find them when I came to restore it.

Am changing Roms about once per day at the moment, although I tend to use CWM for that and just restore SMS/Call Log.
