I have an HP touchpad with CM9 and a HTC One S running the latest Energry ROM. I want to know if there is a way I can, for example, play robo defense on my phone on the go and when I get home toss some files into my touchpad, continue my progress and vice versa. Basically updating app data from one device to another.

You could use titanium backup to backup the app data (from the device with the latest saved progress), send the file over to the next device (via Bluetooth, etc), place it in the Titanium backup folder on your SD, then restore the app data and continue from where you left off. For certain games which store their save files on the SD card (e.g. GTA III), simply copy and send the save file over to the next device and place it in the specified path.
Thanks for the prompt reply, I will give this a try and let you guys know if the titanium backup method is successful.
I tossed the app data back up files from the titanium back up folder on my touchpad into the same folder on my phone and restored the app data for wheres my water and robo defense, perfect results. Thank you very much

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.

then it had to redownload the blood and glory info all over
kinda pointless does anyone know a way to do this?
Hi ddropski
1. what ROM do you use?
2. take a look at this thread which may explain why such action is a bit pointless: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767524
in titanium backup, if you wanted to add the downloaded data to the backu, go to settings/preferences, and select backup app external data. You also need to adjust max size of the external data - otherwise it may not include it to the backup.
Helped? Hit thanks.

2) thank you ill look at that you are awesome
I have installed a few custom ROMs, but i'm a noob when it comes to phones, and every time i switch ROMs i start fresh with apps: redownloading them (about 100 from amazon and google), reconfiguring my home pages, and all games start back at level 1. it takes a long time to do all this, but i assumed that switching ROMs is like switching PCs (you need new drivers, you need to reinstall programs, etc, so you can't just copy A to B).
is there some better way to automate this so that any of the following are true?
-my apps reinstall themselves in a step or two?
-my homepages are reconstructed automatically? i'm guessing this is the least likely, since homepages/launchers/etc probably differ per ROM.
-my game/app data is saved and restored easily? my kids don't want to lose their ice age village
i have titanium backup free, which i have used for complete backups in the event of a phone crash or something, but i don't know about app transfers across ROMs.
thanks for any help. this would save me a ton of time in the future!!
(i'm going from rooted stock to CM10 on my nook tablet, if that matters).
back up your apps onto your sd card with this app
Some launchers (such as apex? not sure) allow you to save your configurations onto sd card and restore them later.
and not sure about game data, but maybe find the folder for the game on the sd card, make a back up and rename it back to previous folder name when you install new rom?
hope i helped
Use utilities like Go Backup or Titanium Backup .
They will help you restore app+data so you are always with current data.
Go Backup helps you restore call log as well

Definitely in favor of the Titanium Backup, 'cos it can also backup/restore wifi passwords, accounts, sms, bluetooth pairings...
if you have plan to flash rom or restore factory data on phone and want to keep your nfs mw current track, you just need copy saved game data and restore after install game, this' method:
your phone need rooted for access system files by es file explorer or root explorer app, then go to '/data/data' folder, copy "com.ea.games.nfs13_na" folder and 4 files: mNFS.db, mNFS.db-journal, mNFSStatus.db, mNFSStatus.db-journal (or simple make a search 'nfs' and copy all, i don't know exactly which files game need but that' all fine for me). done. after install new game, open and play the first race, exit then you just need copy back all files and folder.
p.s. btw, anyone know how to play without internet connection?! (game need internet connection for check update when it' start)
Another way is to do it with Titanium Backup.
Yup try moded apk

With the newest updates of need for speed most wanted, it looks like ea has patched it so it wont work with any back up app and if you try it then the restore bricks the game and you have to download it all over again.

I can confirm this, I'm trying to restore from "Backup & restore" (a backup app from Sony) and Helium, both with the same result. I've contacted EA support, if I get a solution I'll post it here.

Hi,
Have you received any update to backup from EA support
None, as if they don't exist. I have already let go of this and deleted the backup (it was about 2 GB).
Finally found something that worked on another thread here in xdadevelopers
I know this is an old thread, but for anyone who wants the answer thought I'd post the link above.
Here is the jist and I take no credit, credit is due to the poster in the thread linked above
Installed NFS Most Wanted (Including the 600+ MB download) and play the first 2 compulsory rounds...
Run NFS Most Wanted and leave it running
Navigate to your Titanium Backup for com.ea.games.nfs13_na and open the .gz
Cut the file 'nfstr_save.sb' from /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/files/var/ and save in a different location...
While its running Paste the file 'nfstr_save.sb' back in /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/files/var/ on your phone
(the game would have already re-written another copy of the file by now which you must overwrite)
close the game and start back up and BAM your save is there
Been searching for HOURS for how to restore my NFS Most Wanted save on my new phone, this is one of the first google posts that come up so posting it here.
So I am playing this game Arc:Redux on my Note 4 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Psyonix.ArcSquadron&hl=en
I have backed up my phone previously with Titanium (rooted) and when i installed on a new ROM, my backup (the level I was on or on any of my gameplay purchased gear) was not restored. I tried multiple times to get the game back to where I was, even tried restoring my TWRP backup of the original ROM itself. I was not able to restore the data.
The game does have a Google Plus sign in, but that just seems to be for Experience points and not gameplay saving.
I since started fresh on the game and have resisted all new updates to new ROMs because I don't want to lose my current standing in the game.
But now I have a new Samsung Tablet I want to play this game with. I again tried to backup and then restore on the tablet using Titanium. It didnt work. I then tried using DataSync. Still didnt work. I also complained on the game company's forum and Google Play link, and have not received any answer.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if this will work but I would try connecting the device via usb to your computer copy the game files before doing the update then if you lose your game data replace the game files on with the ones on your computer.

Well, Titanium is doing exactly that. It's backing up the game files and then I am restoring them to the new device. It's not working.
