If i remember correctly, titanium need rooted device rite? Is that means non rooted got no real software to backup apps?

O... that one. Haha Okok!!! Thanks thanks

TitaniumBackup has a free version which has a certain limitation.

If i'm not mistaken you can still backup as usual.

I think TitaniumBackup's "Pro" version has additional features like Dropbox linked or smth like that.

Correct me if i'm wrong :3

AFAIK using Titanium Backup without root, you can still backup apps but not apps+apps data
FYI - With Kies, backing up applications does not mean your apps data gets backup anyway, only the apps.

Hi all, just bought a 2nd hand S3 with android version 4.1.1 and found out that there's no s voice app on my apps screen, tried Google but no answers, how can I get the s voice function back again? Thanks in advance!

could it be hidden in the app drawer?
try going into app drawer > menu button > show hidden apps

Ah, thx for clarify abt TB

For un-rooted phone you cannot do data backup (example : your games app scores) but you can backup the games apk.
Use AndroZip File Manager to do all your apps apk backup.
For contacts you can use Gmail itself or use Super Backup appto do backup on contacts..logs..sms..bookmarks. i think this Super Backup app also can do your apps apk backup.
For songs..photos..videos..you can use external sdcard.

hi all sifus,just wanna ask if i applied sticker on my back of s3
is that possible to use UAG case?
coz after i applied,i try to put on my old case,it couldnt fit in

Switching custom or stock roms..?

Custom roms - read at that custom rom thread instruction.
Stock roms - for same version (JB to JB) no need to do full wipe. Enough by doing wipe cache and dalvik.

if switch from stock to custom -> yes
if switch from custom rom A to custom rom B -> yes
if switch from stock to stock -> no

go to xda developers.
can learn alot.

hey.. may i know why u wanna change keyboard? samsung keyboard got chinese input ah...

Thanks.

I got the rom from xda though haha.

So, If i do full wipe... I need to backup data and put it on the sd or on comp ? :/

after I flashed to UK JB, all langugue packs gone. Left English. Any way to install back those packs? Now damm leceh keep switching kb. =/

yeah... it is always recommended to do a full wipe..

do titanium backup and nandroid backup...just in case...

1. advisable to back up.. (sms and whatsapp)
2. sync your contacts with google contacts so that your phone numbers wont be lost. you may check your contacts at https://www.google.com/contacts/
3. backup your files (images,vids,etc)

after that you may perform flashing.
however, just because you've done flashing doesnt mean its completed.

learn about flash counters, yellow triangle issues (if happen), and learn how to use CWM (recovery).
everything can be absorbed on xda!

Mind teaching how to use nandroid and titanium? Still quite new to it

And since full wipe .. I put backup in sdcard?
