Sync and Backup All Your Apps and Their Data in Android – How To

Android is a platform full of possibilities and there is no doubt about it. But there was one problem for me whenever i tried to install a Custom ROM on my device. All the apps that I installed were removed but also all their data too was eliminated from the device. As far as the apps are concerned, I am fine with it, but in some apps you can’t sync your achievements, thus loosing everything and need to start from the scratch. Now that was the problem I hate from the start. I search a lot for this and finally came to a conclusion that only Helium can help me in this matter. Helium is available on Google Play Store, both Free and Paid, Paid one allows you to Sync data over Cloud storage. You can back-up both your apps and App data using Helium and its easy to use interface helps way too much in this matter. So, without any further ado, let’s look at how we can install and use Helium.
