Titanium backup help. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hello, I have a game on my phone (drag racing) and I have it backed up with tibu and I also have tibu on my tfp. How can I get that game with all my progress onto my prime. I would assume its possibly but I'm not sure how. I tried to find the files but there's a few of them so I don't know what is what. Thanks.

I think you can just restore the backup from TB to get the game installed. However, the game progress can only be transferred by copying the program data files located in the sdcard of your phone to the TP. Make sure you place it in the same file/folder structure, the way you found it on your phone. Hope that helps.

the files are located at sdcard/titanium
if you want to copy over only selective apps, there will be 3 related files for each app to work.
use this method to make ur whatsapp work on tab.

^^^^^^ thanks. I got it by long pressing the backup on my phone then hitting "send backup". I never saw that before.

Eternal Legacy gamesave location?

Can any point to me the EXACT location of the save game for Eternal Legacy,
I have ONLY checked gameloft folder, and definitely did not find any file in the eternal legacy directory that looks like a saved game.
I'm in I4 firmware (non-rooted) willing to root if anyone can point to me the EXACT location.
NOT LOOKING FOR AN IGNORANT reply, please ONLY point to me the file and location, thank-you in advance.

Kinda off topic but if you're wanting to mod it, use Gamecih2. If not then sorry.

Looking to backup my saved game, will consider "Gamecih2" after i complete the game.
SOMEONE please help me locate this saved file??????

Hey mate, either check out sdcard/android/data folder, or use Titanium Backup to back-up the app data and then restore them when needed.

From my experience of gameloft games, that usually doesn't work. It seems your progress is saved in the sd files and loaded from there.
Just a guess but keeping the sd files might be the backup. I don't know which file exactly however.

Ah well you're quite right, I just checked and gameloft really stores saves in its own directory. For 9mm HD it's save.dat, so perhaps check for something similar

those are common locations, have tried looking for a save file in those directories (months ago), but no save file found. i have been trying to find this save file for months, now gave up and decided to ask for help.
That's why i need someone to point out to me the EXACT location of this save (someone who can GUARANTEE me the location of the save file)
please people no more guessing replies or "have tried in this directory" type replies (meant that in a polite way)
someone who has backed their save file for this EXACT game, not another Gameloft game, please point out to me the EXACT location.

What is best method to backup and restore?

Almost all my data has been stored by default to my internal storage. Pictures, DL's, I figure I will sync to my laptop and back them up there, but there must be an easier way all you flash addicts are doing it. And TB is still preferred method to back up and restore all apps, msgs and call logs?
Is there a good startup noob guide? Things change so fast around here I never know if the guides are now obsolete.

Clockworkmod recovery......for a complete backup...
and although TB is a great app, it seems to cause as many problems as it solves..
the app pulls data into a fresh build (on occasion) and causes problems when setting up..
I personally load "all" of my apps from the market again, on a fresh rom install....g

Most would store their downloads and pics on the external sd card. Contacts should be made google contacts that way they sync automatically. And Titanium backup works well. You just have to know what to restore. Issues are usually attributed to user error by not knowing fully what they are doing.

Taking everyone's valuable suggestions one step further, send backups from external sd card to Google Drive or Dropbox.

So you change the default settings of where to store dl's and photos every time you flash a new rom?

When I restore I log in to google and get TiBU.
I make sure it knows my backup folder location.
I restore the apps I backed up. Never select restore system apps.
Then I restore sms and calls. When I restored those apps they get their settins restore so I don't have to do anything.
So the only location I check/change is TiBU.

I used to CWM but now I use TWRP for flashing and creating backups. I also use TB pro and I have to say I haven't had any problems but I do only restore apps and their data and nothing else. I also have become a fan of My Backup. I am able to backup and restore how I have my icons saved on my screen. Makes it real easy and quick to get back up and running.

You can save the launcher and it's data with tibu also, no need for a second app...That's what i do
hell some launchers have a backup option built into them.

Serious? Well face palm myself. I never paid attention that TB did.

Just so you know, nothing on your internal or external SD is affected by flashing a ROM. Sounds like you think you might lose your pictures and downloads. They will be safe unless you format them.

OK, so I bought the pro version of TiBu, actually had a tough time getting it to sync with the free version and recognize the key on fresh rom install....
But my bigger problem after rom install hand TiBU restore...I am getting 3 errors and it caused the phone to hang so bad, had to do a factory reset and start from scratch with everything.
1. Calendar sync not working properly
2. Messages sync not working properly
3. Android.process.acore not working properly.
I would love to flash roms more often but dont out of fear of having to restore everything I liked back manually (I have to learn how to backup launcher too BC that is a big time factor in setup after a flash)

The trick is the System Apps. If they're Green then you can usually backup and restore them without any issue. If they're Red then you shouldn't back them up and restores won't be useful.
For some of the Green items (e.g., messages, bookmarks, call log) there's a Yellow equivalent which indicates XML. For these, you should favor the XML since it'll restore across ROMs better.
For all apps, if you switch between ROMs that are extremely different (for example, if you jump straight from stock GB to CM9(ICS) then there can be problems. You can usually get around these by uninstalling the offending app, installing from Play Store and then restoring just the data.

[Q] [Help] Backup App Data With Unrooted Phone?

Background:
I had a Nexus S. Got some games and got pretty far in them. I did not root the phone. Now I have an N4. I want to pick up where I left off on the new phone with regards to the games.. let's say, They Need To Be Fed as an example.
Now, neither phone is rooted, so obviously this complicates things, but it is not impossible. I can easily use Carbon to backup my app data and restore it onto the new phone without requiring a root. However I want to explore alternative methods.
So in a perfect situation, I would like the app data (and/or the app itself) to be backed up into one nice file that can be saved onto the new phone and then opened up to put the saved data where it needs to be. I'm not sure, but do .apk's contain app data as well? Could I save my current progress on TNTBF along with the app itself into a .apk and then extract the file on my new phone to continue where I left off?
What Carbon does is create a folder specific for the app and its data, which is a bunch of files I'm not familiar with, and requires Carbon to restore the data itself. Although this app is phenomenal and will be my last resort, I'd like something that doesn't require the app itself to restore the data. I used to use something called Ultimate Backup I think. When I selected to backup an app, it would save a .apk to the sd card. I'm not sure if it was backing up just the app or the app data as well, but if it did save the app data then that would be optimal.
Is anyone familiar with anything -- app or program -- that can do something like this? Backup app data that can be restored without the app itself on unrooted devices?
From my research, it seems the answer is 'no'. But maybe something recent has come up!
