[Q] does free titanium backup also backup game data? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, before I update my xperia x10 to 2.3., I would like to know if I backup now on 2.1. with the free version of titanium backup (not buying the pro) my games + data will I be able to restore them later when I'm on 2.3.? Can I backup data with the free version at all?
OR, I can also do this with Backup and Restore program? I have B&R on my x10 (of course) and I backed everything up, then when I update to 2.3. and download that B&R for 2.3. will it restore the game data too? I don't wanna lose my progress, espcially angry birds :/
Thanks

i think u wont get B& R for 2.3 ..m not sure on this ..ya but u can backup your app using Titanium Backup !!and regarding data m not sure using Titanium Backup !!
Hope it works !!
Thank me if it clears u a bit !!
Edit:
It works bro it will backup eveyrthin ur app and the data ...,so u can go ahead with TB

Go ahead - that's how I keep my Angry Birds (all 3 versions) and a few other games going through all these ROM updates, custom ROM tests, etc...
I think I only had a problem once when I used Apps2SD or something like that. If you have never moved anything to your SD Card you are good.

there is a link on the xda forums for a 2.3. version of it, I am not aware of who developed it though, do you think it would be able to restore game saves? I'll try TB it when I root it

nope I've never used apps2sd, also I have never rooted my phone, will I be able to normally update even if it's rooted (to the stock 2.3., I'm on stock 2.1. now)? I never rooted my phone yet, can anything bad happen?

TB does not fully work
Hi,
My experience is that TB does not save all app data. I have a banking app with token configuration and TB can't save this token data. The only way is to use xRec backup and restore, but many times a custom, not stock-based ROM is not compatible to restoring an xRec backup.
So, when I change to a non-stock ROM I lose banking app's token data. Any help?

Correct Way To Backup APK+APK data?

So what is the EXACT way to backup APK's and its data? The last time I used MyBackup Root, it caused force close on the restored APKs so I had to manually restore by replacing the data/data folders. Long story short, it was a lot of work and I want a backup way that will actually work. I only need to backup APK+Data. Stuff like application settings (ie GPS maps/locatons), game data, etc. So what is an app that will do this and will work for sure.
Thanks
I have always used titanium backup pro & never had a problem

[Q] Some apps are not updating/showing up ?

hey , ive notice that most of my apps are not on the list for when it comes to updating & ect ? is it because i got the market update or my phone don't like me ? Thanks
Are you running a custom ROM?
If so a simple build.prop edit might resolve this.
Also are you using Titanium backup? If so then run market doctor through titanium.
Yes I am using a custom rom and i havent used tituam backup but i have done a backup before with recovery.

Only way I know is use titanium backup and run the market doctor. You have to buy the license to use that function I believe. I use it for backing up apps and app data only. Then I restore after I flash a new rom and everything goes back right where i had it before with the data. Saved games etc.

[Q] How do you transfer apps and data to a new phone?

Hi,
Supposedly I buy a new android phone, let's say going from Galaxy S1 to S2. How can I transfer my stuff from the old phone to the new one?
Thanks
If you're rooted on the old and new phone you can use Titanium Backup, it can backup your Wifi settings too.

I don't know any other way
Pretty sure Google Play will install your previous apps automagically.
As for the rest, you can use apps like Titanium backup and SMS backup to transfer your other stuff and whatnot.
And don't forget to move your music, photos, videos as well.
Why do you go into radioshack. They have a cellbrite machine and its free to transfer everything over from your old phone to you new one. Better yet go into radioshack and buy your new phone there.
What if i want to install the latest version from the Play store instead of restoring from a backup? I do not care for the app settings. Is there a way to do that?

What does backing up ROM contain?

Hi all!
Quick question: What is backed up when backing up a ROM with Clockworkmod? Is it only the ROM or is all my apps + data backed up too? I am considering if i should flash a Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly to try out, but i want it to be easy to get back to my current version of Cyanogenmod.
Thanks in advance
/gammarik
Anyone? I want to make sure that i can get back to my CM9 easily with all settings and apps intact after trying CM10.

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

You can simply backup your apps and data via TB and

On some clockworkmod versions you can do an advanced restore and just choose data. Never tried it but maybe give it a shot

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.
