NOVA 3 backup not restoring - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I played NOVA 3 on an AOKP (ICS) ROM and backed up the data using titanium backup. Then I flashed Helly Bean and tried restoring the files. But when I launch NOVA 3 it starts downloading data as well. Is there a way for me to restore my data (still have the titanium backup files) so as to continue my game instead of starting over?

Did you ever figure out an answer to this one? Our Nexus 7 got damaged. We replaced it & copied the NOVA 3 obb file from the backup to the new device, but the new game install seems to be ignoring it. We get the same behavior from every game we've tried, in fact. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.
The old device was not rooted, so all we have is the obb file. The new device is rooted. The backup was made using rsync & restored using ssh.

SIMS 3 not installing via Titanium backup

Recently, I installed Bionix1.3 w/Kingklicks OC,UV kernel. I went back to Titanium and installed all the backups I made with the exception of Sims 3. When I restore in TB, it will go through the iteration but it does not install. Any idea how I can get the game back on.
Thanks
Unfortunately Titanium Backup doesn't properly backup the built-in apps from the Vibrant. Your Sims 3 backup won't be usable. The only way to restore it is to reload the stock firmware that has it preinstalled, and then manually remove what you don't want.
I'm not even sure the downloaded firmware contains the sim game. Its stored on the data_tmo partition so if you've repartitioned it might be gone. The icon on the home screen is just a launcher to that partition where the apk is located. Titanium Backup doesn't restore rom system apps only their data.
Thanks
I kind of figured that with TB but was not certain. My daughter loves that game and that is one of the reason I wanted that on the phone. May be I will revert to stock just get that and manually move it. I have a nandroid backup which should install the game. Can i use nandroid on the Bionix 1.3 ROM?
Heres a link to the actual apk of Sims 3, both the launcher and this are required for the game to work of course.

Thanks Genesis 1791 for the link. I was able to install the game.

I have the .apk but need to know how to reinstall the launcher? Can it be done on a deodexed rom?
I was able to reinstall it to my stock build (made the mistake or formatting that partition), and got it working there.

Titanium Backup PRO and the ICS roms

I have tested at least 5 ICS roms (including the latest XXLPB) and have had problems with them all. The main problem being that the phone goes into a deep sleep that it can't wake up from, or it simply resets itself.
Now I never had these problems with GB roms, but I never uses titanium backup PRO with GB either.
Last night I installed XXLPB and used it for about an hour or so, installed titanium and went to bed.
Went to use it this morning and it's turned off and I have to pull the battery.
Are other people using titanium with ICS roms with no problems?
Maybe the problem u have its the apk (titanium)
I been used ics rom (xxlp6) and i used titanium last night to reduce the unused apk andits working good. Good lock and try another version of titanium i use v.3.6.7
Never had any issues until XXLPB.
Now apps wont restore to the sdcard and apps fail to install from the market when they try to install to sdcard. All previous restores to lp2/lp6 worked fine.

need to remove the ext-sd card
i did have the same issue, somebody on other thead mentioned and i did try it and worked.
the other bug I found with TB was that when you unfreeze a system app it doesn't restore it. You have to back it up, uninstall and reinstall.

I do not have any issues like sleep of death or reboots with Titanium Pro installed, I just couldnt restore my apps. It worked in CM9 but in XXLPB it freezes (titanium, not the phone) restoring most of apps. I did have this issues with setcpu in CM9.
Edit: Found a workaround.

I restore from TB often while testing different roms, and on LPB just 3 of my backed up apps freeze the process of restore, even if i restore it just them, on gingerbread or past ics versions no problem at all (i'm using the pro version)

Same here, it was 3-4 apps out of around 50 I have that made TB pause. I simply installed them from the market again and restored the data only.
I had no problems until XXLPB when some apps wouldn't restore. I set the restore backups to option to internal storage and they restored.
restore to internal memory worked fine with respect to titanium.
But i still have the installation from market error.

Get ready for ICS update and not lose any user data

Im concerned about the upcoming update: Im using MIUI rom and i will swap to MIUI v4 (iCS) as soon as it comes out... but im tired of losing my user data between every rom swap...
I know Titanium Backup should be the way to do this... so, is it safe to backup all the apps and the apps' data and then restore it on ICS? even when the backup was made in a GB rom?
Any alternative way of doing so? What do you usually do / recommend to do?
Thanks!
You can back up and restore the apps no problem, though I would be careful restoring user data. What I do is restore all apps and use sms backup/restore for my texts and Google takes care of my contacts.

Well, I don't really think it should matter if the backup was done in GB and restored in ICS. One thing could happen, is that you may have been using an application that isn't yet compatible with ICS. Other than that, I don't really see why there should be a problem.
Have a good day.
The biggest problem is for the apps settings and games progress and so... with titanium backup, i should backup user apps + data and then restore it in ICS?

To be a 100% sure put the TB folder on your pc and on an external card.
I tried restoring TiBu apps backed up on GB when I flashed an LPQ ROM and TiBu hanged on some of the restores. I had to restart each time it hung on a restore. I tried using batch restore, and restoring individually, both ways it happened on different apps and the same app. It was weird because my SMS logs restored no problem but some of my apps could not. Luckily I had a Nandroid backup so I quickly went back to my daily driver.
Titanium backup likes a phone reboot after first install .
Install open reboot phone less likely to freeze or hang on backup .

i also had over 200 applications, out of which some randomly failed to install on CM9. After failure of restore, i again have to start restoring process in titanium backup from start leaving that applicatoin. Luckily, I dint find any problem in restoring to PURE ICS rom, it just resotred everything like a charm. Some applicatoin (like smartstats) were crashing after restore. I just wiped the data () and then it worked.

[Q] Transferring game data switching roms??

Hello everyone, I have a Galaxy Note i717 on stock ICS. I have had a custom rom on it before (CM10 nightly) but i reverted back to stock ROM. Well last night i found the Padawon ICS 6.2 ROM. So i downloaded it and put everything on the SD Card. Then went to google play and got a couple app to backup things like titanium backup and SMS backup. I am a frequent Tap Fish and Shipwrecked player so i backed them up in hopes to keep my game data. I also made a backup of current ROM. So i installed the ROM, went to the play store downloaded Titanium and went to restore apps and nothing was there. So i went and downloaded my games and i went back into Titanium backup and still no backups were shown. What did I do wrong? Is there any possible way to keep my game data when i switch roms?

Titanium should back up anything you tell it to on a rooted Phone, if it's not even backed up the app then you're doing something wrong.

Plants vs Zombies backup

Is there any way to backup plants vs zombies(the first one, not the sequel)?
I tried with titanium backup and I manually backed up the folder com.popcap.pvz from both /data/data and /sdcard/Android/data.
With these methods the game crashes or asks me to create a new profile(which means it doesn't recognise the savegames).
Is there any way to securely back it up?
I'm on a nexus 7(2012), stock android 4.4.2
Sorry for old bump but I have this issue also, it is the only game that does not want to backup with error. I tried backing normally or installing the app and restoring the data but both still lead to fc. I flash alot so I cannot keep the progress for the game which is annoying...
