Default What backup app?

I'm looking to go from CyanogenMod v3.6.2 to JACHero r2.3.3. I want to backup my apps (or even just keep a list of them), my SMS/MMS and my bookmarks. What app is best to do this with?

Thanks

Tony

I second Backup for Root users as its very good. Just don't forget these steps before restoring with such a tool (after a wipe that is).

1) After the wipe and flash of said ROM, open the market and accept the terms and conditions
2) Download and install a program that has a license that you also have to accept
3) Open your browser at least once and browse to any page
4) Now you can do a full restore with Backup for Root users

This then should avoid any force close issues with the browser and issues with the market.

I third that. Great app!

If you're using Apps2SD, you won't need to back up anything, as they'll stay on the EXT 2/3 partition for you.

I've purchased MyBackupPro and its a very good program also. If you don't mind paying the fee then go for it as it has a good interface. However if you know how to use ADB/Gscript then really you wouldn't need it.

With either you can't go wrong.

Really don't need an app at all :P Just adb pull /data/data and /data/app. Of course, if you have adb working ^^

Haha I agree with you nephron =] Only thing is that it doesn't backup your applications.
