Android OS

I'm fairly new to android and I'm looking to learn more, I apologise if this has been covered but it's late and I really don't feel like reading back through God knows how many pages to find stuff. I'm looking for good apps, paid or free to install if anyone has any suggestions. A good backup app would be great, if that's possible. I've rooted the phone already. If there's any other tips I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Have you installed clockwork mod recovery? It allows you to create an entire backup of your device For backing up apps, use Titanium Backup (there are free and paid versions!).

Thanks for the reply, I will take a look Do you prefer AOKP to CM9/10? If so, why?

I don't think clockworkmod recovery supports my phone yet but I'll bear it in mind. I've got titanium backup pro, haven't gotten used to it yet but will do sometime soon. Seems like a good app though.

The most popular backup app is Titanium Backup but personally I like MyBackup Root. Then as already mentioned you can do a complete backup of the phone (not the memory card) using nandroid in recovery mode.

Do you have Rom Manager installed? If your phone is compatible, then you can flash either the standard or touch version of CM Recovery via Rom Manager.

When will Jelly Bean be coming to Samsung Galaxy S2's? Or are they not getting the update?

I've installed the ROM manager now but haven't flashed it with CM recovery due to compatibility issues - it's still in beta. Is it worth using a beta version or waiting until it's fully supported?

Edit: Went ahead and installed the beta. After a couple of attempts I managed to get a backup(13.3MB~ - is that normal?). Froze a couple of apps with titanium and that's it so far.

That seems rather small tbh. What did you use to make the backup?

Doubt they'll release it officially. Wouldn't surprise me though if you can get a decent custom ROM for it though.

Clockworkmod recovery. It's beta 2. I think I read backups are typically supposed to be 15mb to 20 mb.

I haven't got a clue about that stuff. Damn, really wanted it on my phone

Looking for a bit of help.

I've got the One X but I'm really, really unhappy about the battery life so I'm going to swap it for an S3. However I'd like to know if there's a way I can backup all the information from the One X and import it easily to the S3? I guess email settings doesn't matter, but in terms of all the apps, texts etc?

Any help is appreciated.

Aren't all apps you purchased from the google play store linked to your google account? So if you just log in to your S3 with your account and go to my apps on the play store it should all be there?
