  Dear XDA members
  
  There's a "help thread" for each flagship and the Nexus 5 has been unveiled yesterday!
  
  

  • If you are starting on XDA please read this:XDA New User Guide
  • Need help? Give detailed information: ROM (version), kernel (version), mods... you are currently using. These information are very useful to be able to help you. Cheers.
  • And don't forget this:NO Best ROM/Kernel threads

  
  If you want to answer (even for a point of view)please answer gently and/or point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself.
  In Post 2 you'll find a few links that can be useful for general stuff.
  
  Ask any question here: adb, fastboot, bootloader, specific apps, hardware, drivers...
  
  When you try to get an answer, try to describe your situation as detailed as you can, at least what ROM and kernel you are using.

  No need for unlocking/rooting device to backup your apps and data apps,
  you have a Nexus device sir.
  
  it is good to learn something
  do it with adb commands.
  
  be sure that you have adb file installed (you can install android sdk)
  connect your phone to pc with "android debug" enabled in developer options
  open a cmd line where adb file is present and type:
  

  Code:

  adb devicesadb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem

  accept backup within your device screen
  this will backup your apps and their data to the pc (a "backup.ab" file is created)
  
  to restore, connect your device with adb debug enabled, open cmd line where "backup.ab" file is located and type:
  

  Code:

  adb devicesadb restore backup.ab

  accept restore process within your device screen
  
  to backup your internal sd card, type:
  

  Code:

  adb devicesadb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/

  to restore:
  

  Code:

  adb devicesadb push sdcard /sdcard/
