Titanium Backup

One of the various things your stock Android doesn't do is backups, which is where Titanium Backup comes in to rescue you and nearly 2 million other Android users. This is possibly the most popular backup app in the Android Market, and with good reason. Titanium backs up all of your installed applications, all of the data and settings in those apps, a significant chunk of your phone's settings and data, and system apps from your custom ROM if you've gone that route.

You can back up apps individually, as a group, or all at once, and you can choose to restore apps, settings, data, or a combination of all three. Premium features include a data migration option, which is important to use when jumping between ROMs or going from a ROM to a phone with factory settings; a Dropbox sync option, so your data is easily restored; multiple backups per app; zero-tap batch restore; and an app "freezer" for keeping an app unchanged. If you're still not sure it's the right backup option for you, the developers have made a helpful FAQ to get you familiar with the app.

Price: Free; the Pro version costs $6.04
