Helium has your back or is it your data's back?

If your new to Android this might be what your looking for and here's why; Whenever you change your phone and re-install an application the information from that application isn't available because, well it's a new smartphone. With Helium this "app data" is being backed up so that you can restore it and get everything back to the way you had it before.

Get your sms back, your home screen settings, your home screen style, your personal choices and every nook and cranny that an app has about the data you've imputed and or custom settings.


There's 2 ways to use the application, the first method is the most used ones for people who aren't rooted. You'll need to have your phone connected to your PC/MAC to get this working. If you have the premium features then you can have the data backed up onto your Dropbox, making it convenient to restore settings for a specified app.

On the other end, if you are a user that does have ROOT, everything can be done directly from your phone. Backup the data, to the internal memory or have it have sent to the clouds.
