If you are a frequent flasher of ROMs on your phone, you are most likely well acquainted with the application Titanium Backup. It is pretty much the go-to app if you need to mess around with the data, apps and information on your phone between your new and old ROM. In a recent update, it managed to become even more useful. 

The biggest addition to the app in this update is the ability to “create update.zip containing apps+data, apps only or data only. Both user & system apps are supported and the file can be signed.” This allows you to back up your apps, and flash the .zip in recovery so you don’t have to wait to re-install them all from inside the application. However, that feature is only functional for those who purchase the Pro version of the application.

The update also allows you to upload files to Dropbox, plus it fixes a few small bugs. If you don’t own the Pro version of TB, this might be the time to pony up.

New Titanium Backup Update Makes Flashing ROMs Even Easier, Restore Apps and Data With Flashable Zips is a post from: Droid Life

Two well-known and loved apps both received updates this morning. If you have root, then you know Titanium Backup. This morning, Pro users can now backup applications from ADB backup files as well as use an improved Market Doctor which repairs broken Google Play links from backups. For Poweramp users, there is a new Jelly Bean notification look along with some improved file type support such as .wav and .wma. 

Poweramp Changelog:

• New “rich” notification support for Jelly Beans (Android 4.1)
• Improved .wav and .wma support
• Audio in .flv
• Music Folders selection can be 10 levels deep now
• Fixed missing last song in iso.wv
• Few other improvements and bug fixes

Titanium Changelog:

• [PRO] Can restore apps/data from ADB backup file. These backups can be made *without* root on Android 4.0+ with “adb backup” from a computer, and can be restored with TB once you have root. This helps on HTC devices that perform factory reset on bootloader unlock. Encrypted ADB backups are supported.
• [PRO] Improved “Market Doctor” and “Force attach” to properly repair some broken links that previously required “Destroy all Market links”.
• UI improvements & fixes.
• Updated translations.
