Best Free Back-Up App

[icu222much]

I'm looking for an app that will completely back-up my phone. This includes contacts, wallpapers, settings, images, ringtones, apps that are installed, and even my launcher plus its settings. I was hoping that it will be a simple set-up (ie - press here to backup your phone) and simple process to re-install your backup (ie - select your backup file and apply changes).

I have a HTC One S on Fido.

Is the phone rooted? If not, the best you can do is backup things like your apps, SMS and contacts. Look into an app called my backup pro

If you are rooted, a nandroid will take a snapshot of your phones current state and can restore it to exactly that state at any time

Check out "Helium - App Sync and Backup" for another non-root backup.

But as stated, you can only back up just so much unless rooted.

I just restored from Helium after a factory reset a few weeks ago and it returns everything as far as I see, even my game progress.

hey guys, I have same problem. I need to backup app data, and after hearing so much about Helium, I installed it. but oddly enough, it doesn't give me an option to save backup files in SD card, its like it doesn't even recognize SD, but allows me to pick the apps, even those that are installed in SD. and I cant backup in internal memory because I want to factory reset my phone, plus it gives me a Desktop Password error

It doesn't work with Motorolas and some Sonys, sorry about that.
