Hi I have a Samsung I9082 I've just rooted it using Root Genius.

I only rooted it so I can backup using Titanium backup & just factory reset then recover without having to install apps again and again, I should have read more as apparently its not advised to factory reset while its rooted.

I haven't installed a custom ROM or anything. Just rooted. What can I do now to be able to do what I originally set out to do?

Next step would be to install Titanium Backup - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en

Once you do this, open the app and go through its menus to Backup your apps and optionally system data.

When you do this, Titanium Backup should write to a folder called TitaniumBackup on your external storage/SD card. You need to copy that folder to your PC.

Once you've done that, you can factory reset your phone and delete everything. Copy the folder back to the SD card, reinstall Titanium Backup. You can then again use the menu options, choose to restore your apps.
