The rumor mill has it that Google could be working on a pretty useful and much-anticipated functionality, which would restore both the apps and all of their data (not just the likes of settings) to a new device. It is speculated that the feature will be implemented into the Play Store itself. Users would be able to choose among a list of backups from all devices (both smartphones and tablets) that are associated with their account. Once you restore a given backup, all of the apps (including their data) will make their way to your new or freshly-wiped Android device in a timely fashion. It is also said that users might get to add additional apps to any given backup manually.
As you probably know, Android sports a similar restoration process, but as a whole, it is a hit-or-miss functionality. Now, this restoration feature does its thing whenever you setup your new Android device from scratch, but it usually restores apps that you have uninstalled a long time ago, whereas some of your most used ones are nowhere to be found.
If Google implements such a full-backup feature, it will venture into the realm of Titanium Backup, which is normally touted as the most polished Android backup app. Alas, said app requires root, so not every Android enthusiast can use it - there are ways to do full app backups on unrooted devices, too.
Hopefully, the rumors will hold water and Google will treat the users of Android with this functional feature.
