Android 4.4 app data backup

[Ilia1986]

Hi all,

I've heard from numerous sources that 4.4 has a way to backup and restore user app data similarly to how the Google account syncs contacts, calendar events, etc.

Is this true? Can someone verify? This does seems unlikely, though, as app data is a dynamic thing, and can take quite a lot of space on the device.

If this is indeed true, ROM hopping just got 5000% a whole lot easier.

I think its the same thing Android has had for a while. It says it backs your app and stuff, but when it comes to it's nothing. Really annoying, but I hope Google does this soon. Play services does have cloud save data to your google account, but NOTHING takes use of it.
