Android backup plan

[mitraark]

My phone LG Optimus L9 is cluttered with lots of apps and junk files, I was planning to backup the important stuff like Contacts ,Messages ,Whatsapp .. etc.. any app that lets you comprehensively backup select stuff on the phone ? Anything else I should be backing up?

After backup I want to root the phone ,and use External SD card partition as internal memory.

take app backups using titanium backup and for messages and contacts use super backup

For paid and rooted titanium backup
non rooted helium

Use helium or Android ADB backup... I recommend ADB You'll feel little more comfortable with command line in future.

@OP: You can try manually taking backup of stuff which is more reliable if done correctly since you don't have to depend on any third party app.

I created a thread regarding backup long before which is still relevant today: *www.digit.in/forum/mobiles-tablets/164382-guide-backing-up-your-android-data.html

PS: Titanium backup works best only if rooted, so if you can root first then you can use it.

I only want to take backup of apps installed, by that I mean the obb files and the files in Android folder, don't want to loose the progress made say in the 40th level of a game. Which of the apps mentioned above is good for that?

Will it save/export game/app's data shifted to sd card via apps that use root?
