Hi Guys,
Recently no matter what ROM I was flashing I was getting FC and crashes. I thought either the ROMs were buggy or my HW had problem. It was very frustrating. Finally I found out:
It's the Titanium Backup which causes the problems.
Most of us have back up and restored lots and lots of times over different ROMs and this causes some of the system files to be overwritten while they are not compatible. Also note that I was trying to be very careful but still this happened.
So please do the following:
1- Delay your Ti restore stage and see if you have problem with your ROM or not, most likely not.
2- Once restoring don't restore data for most apps or file systems, only restore the app. and see if everything is ok or not.
3- For messages use something like SMS back up or sms back up +, etc.
Yea its a known issue with TI if you restore data especially for any system apps.

Yes, it's a known but forgotten issue
I am getting like half of my apps Force Closing any time I try and run them. I performed a full wipe when I installed it... Could it have something to do with my Ti Backup restore?
Most likely ... What was the last back up you performed? If it was from a GB ROM that will definitely cause issues.
Typically I just restore data from certain USER apps only, never any system apps. I have been OK thus far doing it this way.

Last backup I preformed was a full backup of stock... This is my first rom... I know cherry has been popped... kind of a big deal.
I have had the same experience, even when moving between froyo Roms. Seemed to happen mostly with Amazon "free app of the day" apps i downloaded.
I just posted a process for backups and restores in the thread right before this one that has worked well for me. ( Link below)

How do I backup my rooted phone?

Did you try to fix permissions? Good place to start.

When i had this problem, fixing permissions from Rom manager didn't help. Maybe I should have done it from recovery? My problems seemed to be apps from the Amazon market.

Lately I've been having an issue where titanium backup has been freezing up. I'm on Saurom VI (Att) with transfuzion 3.2. I'll go into TiBu, start a back up or scroll through the list of apps and it will black out then ask to wait or force close. I've tried fixing permissions, reinstalling TiBu, enabling superuser and reinstalling superuser so I did a nandroid restore. Anyone else having an issue?

Seems silly to suggest but is usb debugging on
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Yeah, but it's not like I just enabled it. Haven't had any issues. The only thing I did today was install the transparent Google play and the transfuzion dialer update. Doesn't seem like a reason TIbu would fc. I just saw a thread regarding the issue so I'm going to read it now. Thanks for the thought/ idea.

There's a thread going on here for this already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571281
In the international forum, they were suggesting to chat the Play store/market app data and change some settings in TiBu. However that didn't work.
I actually ended up going back to a previous day's nandroid backup and it solved the problem. I do think that it is related to the market, though.
A word of advice to the the people using TiBu to restore apps onto jellybean:
I've seen many people having trouble restoring with TiBu especially coming from ICS. Even when I was still using my S2 LTE.
Give Rom Toolbox Pro a try. You can easily backup your apps and data as a batch, and restoring them is a piece of cake. Never had any problems.
Although it is considered better practice to restore apps without their data, as it could potentially cause instability issues due to bad data. I've always restored the data as well and, in my experience, had no issues in particular. Even when the data was originally ICS based.
Just throwing it out there.

Isn't rom manager a collection of several apps in one? The back up interface looks identical to tibu but requires too much digging to get to.
They are both good tools but it seems like tibu is more flexible with app backups and is updated much more often.

Zero problem restoring apps from GB, ICS, or JB (upwards each time) from TiBu here, on both my Galaxy Note and Nexus 7. Why N7? I moved TiBu data from another device there and installed it from there.
All fine. Normal caveats apply.. Must reboot for services/running apps to start, must recreate accounts, anything that needs to run as a service sometimes might even need to be manually ran, etc.. None of this is ICS/JB/TiBu specific.
Just don't restore system info between roms and there should never be a problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I've always used "My Backup Pro" since the Dell Streak, as apparently TiBu didn't play well with it. I never seem to have the problems people report with TiBu.
I always restore APK's first, reboot, then restore data to a FEW apps that I know won't be problematic...
I think you can use "My Backup Root" to try it free...

While I own both the paid version of tibu and rtp I prefer using tibu for backups. It was made to do just that and it's the best at it IMO.
TB is by far the best backup app out there. The problem is not with TB but with the user who doesn't know how to use it correctly.

Most of the problems people report are due to user error. If people would rtfm and learn they would have a much better experience.

Hi guys,
I want to flash some custom roms on my one x. I really like "Simpsons: tapped out" I'd like to continue playing it. My problem is, that I'm not sure if a Nandroid backup will be enough, since the game is syncing all the time and I don't know where the data is saved.
Does someone have experience with transferring this app to another rom??? What do I need to do??? Is it even possible to properly backup this game???
Thanks already for your help.

Would also like to know this! Was going to send my N4 back under warranty but would like to save progress...
I backup using titanium. Pull the three files out and dump into my tab. Restore and all my info was there. including donuts i had..
Thanks a lot!!
But I think regardless it syncs to ea servers.

It doesn't sync on Android. I don't what is happening when it says sync, but the info on play store says that it has a local save file on Android.
Curious about this as well. I was on recently level 11, and decided to flash a new Rom. As always, I used tibu to back up my apps. I wiped, flashed the new Rom, and restored my backups. I played tapped out for a while, but at one point, all my progress was lost, and it started over at level 1. I cleared the game data, uninstalled, and restored my backup again. Still at level 1. Really sucked to start all over again!

Having the same issue here. I extracted the data file for the simpsons game. I restored it into the right folder after I reinstalled the game but after going out of the game it seems to delete all the saved data I just placed there manually. Someone else suggested using TiBu which I just used but I'm not sure it will work.
I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but it's obviously syncing with a server somewhere, but with no way to log in, it's pointless.

I'm considering editing what permissions tapped out has and going from there. Maybe that will prevent it from syncing but then again it may not work at all after after that

I tried to backup using titanium, buy mystery boxes and if they were bad restore the backup.
Sadly, this didn't work and I'm left with a couple of trees
Pretty sure that means it does actually sync data to servers about money and donuts

Yea it does sync to the ea servers. As far as I know there's no way to change that

Titanium Backup is the truth. Works 100%, restored my Pou and Lane Splitter saves with no problems.

I wonder if the problem has to do with the Google account association of the phone. You know how when you flash roms a lot of times to Google it is if it is now a different device and you lose your Google apps library (well, you have it, but according to Google it is off on a different device.) I really wish Google would let you merge device profiles in the app store.

Yea that would be easier. But it does allow for what you have installed recently at least. I can see what I have installed on my tablet and my phone or at least see the whole list anyways

EDIT: I re loaded the Simpsons backup data file today and I noticed that I can still go in the negative with money in the game but I'm no longer able to go into the negative with donuts

1: How can you go negative with these currencies, I didn't think this was possible?
2: I'd like to move my tsto game from my s2 running cyanogen onto my nexus; would titanium be suitable for this, as they are both bound to the same google account?

The modded apk file did work at one point where it let you go negative both in money and in donuts. Now it doesn't work for me.
I tried using it both on my phone and my tab 2 and that didn't work either but I also at the time didn't use titanium backup. It's worth a try
From what I've been reading people have been having a lot of luck backing up to titanium backup

Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
Ok, I loaded super nexus onto my s2, and used titanium to restore my game. The game loads, and seems ok, then locks up the phone requiring a battery pull. No other issues at all, problem only ever occurs with this app.
Anyone think of any suggestions other than wiping and reloading the app?

Hi guys,
Glad to see someone else is trying to do the same sort of thing as me. I've got a completely stock Nexus 7 (that I don't want to go down the rooting option just yet as it's a shared tablet with the gf) and I'm quite far into Tapped Out but I installed it originally from the leaked APK prior to it hitting the UK play store. I've since googled for the updated APK's as and when needed but now all I want to do is uninstall the "wrong" APK and install the one from the market without losing my progress. (It would also be extremely nice if I could find a way to sync the progress between my Nexus and my S3 but I think that's just a pipedream for now).
Anyone got any clues on how to do it on a stock device?
Well for anyone having a similar issue, have a look into Carbon on the play store from the makers of ClockWork Mod. Backs up apps without needing root. Very good little app.
