Im trying to copy my backups of angry birds and other games from my Verizon Galaxy Tab to my SGS 2. Both are rooted and have titanium backup installed. I tried to copy the files over but cant get it to work. I read other threads but none had clear directions for me to follow.
Can someone show me how to copy a titanium backup from my tab to my sgs2 and have the apps work with game data preserved?
Thanks in advance
Put your backup files in /sdcard/titaniumbackup.
If titanium backup still does not see them, then uninstall titanium backup and reinstall it. It should show up.
tried that. I guess im not doing something right.
I copy the file titanium backup from the tab to the sd card on the tab. then I take that file and copy the contents and paste in the titanium backup folder on the sgs2 but it still doesnt move the angry birds stats over. hmm guess i just got to play the levels all over again
But it is seeing the backups? Then try restoring data only after you installed angry birds.

Ok here is the deal. Until the end of May I had a Samsung Galaxy S but on a trip over to New York it got stolen. I now own my second SGS II (don't ask) and I'm trying to restore my backups of Angry Birds I did on my SGS. But after I put the three files in my "/sdcard/TitaniumBackup" folder I can't choose to restore them in Titanium Backup. Am I doing something wrong here? I really don't wanna play them all over again as I had 3 stars on every available level up to then.
What I can do though is to manually download them all from Android Market, do a backup and exchange the backup files to my original ones. Then restore. I get all my scores back but when I then update my Angry Birds all the scores are reset to zero.
Anyone know of a solution? Or could someone send me a set of backups that works?
I'm bumping this thread.
No one?
Just check if usb debugging is on. I had this same issue and Ti wouldn't allow me to restore until USB debugging was on.
Leave the files in "/sdcard/TitaniumBackup" . Then uninstall titanium backup and install it again.
I had a similair issue and this way it found my backups again.
I have had titanium on my thinderbolt since I got it, and run backups pretty much every week. My question is: is there a way to take the backups that are in my dropbox, and inplant them onto the titanium backup on my galaxy 10.1? thanks
edit: it used the search function, and hasn't gotten the hose yet
i havent done it myself yet but try this:
download the folder onto your phone and move it to the root of your sdcard. then go to settings>batch and under restore, choose the operation that suits your situation
I'm having a problem getting games to work after the data folder is manually copied into sdcard/Android/data it always says it needs to download them by wifi even though I'm putting the exact same files in there that its downloading down to the last byte, I even copied then deleted the files they downloaded through wifi and then copied them back in and the game doesn't work.
Anyone can tell me whats going on here this doesn't make sense to me I can't backup my games!
Would probably be better if you backed up the Game app and data using Titanium Backup or My Backup. Then you can restore them intact.

I could try that but Titanium Backup has hung for me before trying to backup Shadowgun so it might not work for all games, I'd really like to understand why removing and copying back the game data breaks the game, it would be great if I could just keep the files safe on my PC.

I've used Titanium Backup to backup the data of several games (Let's Golf 3 for example with 1Gb of aditional data) and when reinstalling the ROM the game worked without problems or saying to redownload the data.
The main issue with backing up just the /sdcard folder of the aditional data is that the app probably has some variable saved saying if the aditional data has been saved or not, so maybe if you only save the /sdcard folder and reinstall the app from the market, as it doesn't have its original data will prompt you to redownload the aditional data.
I would suggest you try the following:
1) Backup the app from Titanium Backup (app+data). This does a backup of the app you download from Market, not the aditional data.
2) If you're gonna format /sdcard partition, save the aditional data in your PC or an external device to be able to restore it. Just do a copy/paste.
3) Once resintalled the ROM or whatever you're doing, restore first the /sdcard folder saved in step 2.
4) Restore the app from Titanium Backup, select restore app+data.
5) Run the app and it shouldn't ask to redownload the data.
If you're still having problems, please post which app is the one you're trying to restore.
For some reason titanium backup doesn't work for me, it will backup successfully but won't restore the apps.
My Backup pro restores the apps correctly but any downloaded data isn't for some reason. Some help would be great.

maybe coz ur ROM not same with ur ROM when make a backup
I am the type of guy who trys a rom for a few days then moves on to another. One thing i have hated is loosing my apps, and game saves for them also. I use titanium backup, but alot of times it doesn't back up my game saves. Also my issue with titanium back up is when i restore my apps i have to manually select install on all the apps i add.
Im looking for a way to hook my phone to my computer and MOST importantly back up my sms and photos. but would also love to back up my apps and game saves. is there a better option then titanium backup?
thank you
For 1 get titanium backup pro! you will not regret it. This will allow auto backup/restore and you wont have to click to restore 1 at a time.
Depending on where the app saves data, Titanium backup will store your game files. However big games (gameloft etc) store files on ur sdcard.
What I do is backup my sdcard + Titanium backup. This should basically get everything. And in many apps you can backup setting's manually to sdcard (most launchers,GOSmS,etc).
I use a program called Allway Sync. Anything would work (or just copy entire drive every time) but this is how i have it setup. I plug in my phone to computer. SDcard gets H: , External SDcard gets I: and with Allway Sync it just does a 1 way backup to a folder on my computer (propagating changes and deletions). This way if i haven't changed much since last backup it will be done in under a minute instead of re-copying 10+gigs.
Then you can get more detailed with Allway Sync settings and exclude the junk folders (cache,tmp, etc) so it slims your backup down more making it clean.
Once I change rom's or anything I switch direction on Allway sync and copy files back onto sdcard's and then use Titanium Backup Pro to restore all app's.
Wonderful idea. i will look into all that. thank you very much

Can u please show me how can i restore the back up with titanium back up bro? When i wipe all data to flash a new rom, so do i need to reinstall titanium back up and just go there to restore all data?
Thank you
Install TiBu, then batch restore. Only backup user apps and data. That will restore everything from the app and it will do it automatically.
Miui backup is the best by far, but you have to be using miui.

Ok, so i have made backup via titaniumbackup earlier. i installed few custom roms to my Samsung galaxy S3 and restored my apps succesfully to that rom. however i didnt like those roms that much so i installed the old stock rom back. this process unrooted my phone, now im running stock galaxy s3. i went to play store and downloaded titaniumbackup + the pro license which i have. i went to the app and saw there were no backups or anything, i went to my phone files and saw my titaniumbackup folder to be emty for some reason.
Now the question, after i did backup to my phone earlier, i copied titaniumbackup folder(with app files data etc) to my pc.
Is it possible to do a succesfull backup of these files if i copy the titaniumbackup folder to my phone? (apps+data are in that folder)

In order for Titanium Backup to work you'll need to re-root your phone because you mentioned you lost root when restoring the stock ROM. After you have regained root access place the contents of your previous backup into the empty Titanium Backup folder then use Titanium Backup's restore function to restore the backup you transferred from your computer to your phone.
