Hi, hope someone can help me!!
I had a Optimus 2x and switched to Samsung G2, now i want to backup and restore my progress in all Angry Birds on to my Asus Transformers Prime.
I used Angrybirdsbackup2SD, i can see the files but they will not be restore to my Prime. I triede another backup software, but it wrote that some databases were write protected.
Is there anyway i can get my progress on to my Transfomers Prime??
If you have your devices rooted, I use DataSync from the Market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync&hl=en) I keep all my progress synced across multiple devices. You need a Dropbox account

I'm gonna update my S2 to Ke7. I've played somes games such as Let'goft 2 Hd, dungeon hunter and make some progress.
if i use titanium backup and back-up these games, will my game save will be backed up too or will i have to play from the beginning?
Thanks 4 advice:0
titanium backs up both game and data (allowed me to take my angry birds process from my nexus), however upgrading firmware shouldn't delete your games anyway.
Titanium backup will also let you backup your savegame data to restore it to future devices too though, quite important!
...I would have hated to grind through Gun Bros again to get some decent firepower.

Anyway I want to do a clean install whenver I update a FW.
BTW, Sundays are good for flashing.
Have a nice weekend
First of all, my Photon is rooted and I used a couple of the updates from the photon android development forums.
It is getting to where there are just too many market apps that I can not download. Some come up as not compatable (while I'm 100% sure they are compatable) and others just straight up don't show. It gets real interesting when I go to the android market on the web and try to get the apps.
The android market thinks that I have 2 Moto photons. One of the 2 photons, it will in fact allow me to send some of these incompatable apps to and the one that google SEES me on is "not compatable". I guess the market thinks my phone became a new phone when I did one of the updates. But yet this new photon is not compatable with many apps.
I was using my Acer Iconia tab to help me get some of these apps to my Photon, especially some of the ones I purchased. But now, I have 2 Iconia tabs too (even though the second one is again, the same device.)
Is there anything I can do? I loved Android since the day it came out. But it's getting to where I almost don't want it. I need an outlet to get apps but I don't want to ask people to upload apks. I know about the amazon market but not every app is there.
Is this a brand based problem? Cause though I love the Photon, I would switch in a minute if this wasn't the case. But it's also happening on my Iconia tab and it's happening more and more and one thing I just won't do is start asking if anyone has apks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, this will take me a minute (if you want a real explantion, or just skip to bottom where I talk about App Brain). I am sorta like you, I'm well over 100 Apps and use SPB 3D Shell to keep them orgainzed.

I use my phones and like to keep them tight. I had and Evo and co-worker turned me on to App Brain.When I got Photon, I was in your position. I went to Market and more or less, installed everything I got individually.
You Sync App Brain, and when you get new phone, like I just did, tell it to put it all back (You still have to go to SPB 3D Shell and orgainze it, but it give you a start!)
Want more protection? Root it and get Titaniaum Backup, paid version!!! Backup all your crap each monday at 3:00AM (you know my schedule now), hook the phone up to computer as HD and move backup to your computer or USB drive (its not small!). If something ever happens to your phone, get titaniaum from market and use THAT backup to restore. The good thing about the paid version, not only will it put your app's back, it puts them back with the last configuration!!! Done!!!
Thank you for responding. But I do not believe that this helps. I already use Titanium Backup of course. But App Brain is just a market browser that still ultimately takes you to the market to download apps does it not? And the market will still list them as incompatable.
This is not going to let me download new versions of, for example, Swiftkey X, LCD Density, and even the ChaCha app. I would have to go find a friend who has a phone that's listed as compatible (even though the Photon IS compatible) and then back it up and transfer it. This makes for licensing problems for apps that I have purchased and I'm certain are compatable.
Because I can get many apps but there are many that I can not get, there is something that many developers do that apparently makes it compable with SOME Motorola Photons as far as the market goes. This is why I could easily download Titanium Backup but I can not download SwiftKey X which I paid for even though it IS compatable.
Can anybody help? I need a way to get apps that are compatible to the photon like swiftkey x onto my photon and the ability to keep them UPDATED. What I do not want is a way to keep them backed up, I already have that. I will switch phone brands if I need to but I absolutely require a phone or a fix for this phone on which this problem does not exist. Otherwise, it's useless to me as apps are updated often sometimes and I want those updates without running onto the net and asking people to please post an apk. Please reply if you have a solution. I am going to scream if I see that banner that says this app is not compatable with your phone again when market.android.com will send it to my older photon (which does not exist by the way. The market just recognizes my photon as a second photon after an update I did from the developer forums). Grrr, don't even want my photon now that the droid razor is out.
have you tried going into manage applications and clearing the data and cache from market. I had some problems with apps that were bought on both amazon and google and this allowed the apps to update from google.
Yes. I have cleared data from the market under manage applications. This does not do it. There are still apps that the android market refuses to let me install. Any such apps do not have an install or download button. Instead, there is just that banner on the very top that says "Your device is not compatible with this item." for many apps ever since I installed one of the updates and since then, I have 2 Photons listed when I look online. One of them, the android market will send these "incompatible apps" to and the other, it won't. Unfortunately, the device that android market will send the apps to is the same device as the one that the market sees as incompatible. It's like after one of the updates, the market reregistered my phone as a different phone. Same thing happened with my Iconia tab.
Does anybody have any ideas?

You try going online and deleting the phones from your google account then log back into the app market and download a simple app so it can register
I've tried. As far as I know, you can't delete devices from your account on the market. You can only hide them from showing up on the menus. But yes, I've done that. It doesn't help.
never mind, i see now'
So is there anything that can be done?
First of all what ROM are you on, what mods(build.prop), and have you wiped google services data?

Oh thank you thank you thank you! (and thank clicked as well!) It was awesome of you to find that. Just to reiterate in case somebody else finds themselves having the same problem, to reiterate so it might come up in a google search for someone:
If you have a Motorola Photon (or many other phones), and over time, you notice that something isn't right with the market and some apps that you always ran are suddenly not compatible any more and perhaps the Android market sees you having several phones, if you changed your screen density with a program such as LCD Density Changer, the android market now will see you coming in with a different phone. For example, according to the Android market, I have a Moto Photon with a density of 240 and a Moto Photon with a density of 280. Perhaps because of the criteria that some app makers chose, some of their apps (like Messagease for instance) may be compatible with a Photon with a density of 240 but not a Photon with the density of 280 (even though they do in fact work just fine).
So, the solution is this. Change your density if you like. But, to get those programs that may become "incompatible", switch the density back to the way that it was out of the box.
Thank you very much for finding this information! It helped a lot!
Glad to help
Hey All:
Bought PvZ during today's sale on my Nexus S. Play Store claims that it's not compatible with my Tablet S (though the thread in this forum claims that it is). Canadian Tab running American ICS 4.0.3 rooted with Condi.
I've used Titanium Backup on my Nexus, and tried to restore that backup on my Tablet, and also tried to extract the APK and install. No luck so far. PvZ downloads the additional 80mb, restarts, shows an hourglass, and then goes back to menu before the PopCap logo (no FC notification).
Can anybody help me get this running on my tablet? Thanks!

I've been seeing this BS more and more that certain devices are banned from getting updates and others aren't. I have a few different devices on difference version of Android and what i've found myself doing is backing up the apps on a supported device using appmonster free and then uploading it to my dropbox and installing it on the "unsupported" device
Good morning,
I would greatly appreciate help from anyone who could bail me out of the situation I got myself into.
Here's the background: My wife and I have been using SGSII for about two years and during this time I have successfully been able to utilize odin oneclicks and TiBu to upgrade our phones several times. Unfortunately, this is the extent of my exposure to android and rooting and ROMS etc. So I basically need dead simple answers without jargon.
We have been pestered by the OTA update requests for ICS for several weeks. I wanted to skip that and get to JB and since the GB27 one click is available I decided to go for it. I had no problems on my phone and used TiBu to get all my programs and settings back just fine.
If I had to screw up on any phone I wish it was mine because now I'm in the doghouse with my wife. Short version: did selected directory backup via usb (mainly pictures and a couple of key apps) and had the TiBu backup on microSD. GB27 installed fine. However, found out the MicroSD was corrupt/unreadable (found out afterward she had been having problems but didn't know it was due to bad SD card).
All apps installed fine from google play except the one app she specifically told me she needed - SplashID. I used my microSD and transfered the file folder from the PC and managed to get it on her phone. Now on google play it shows that we have it installed but when I try to run it tells me that we have to buy the app. I'm sure that this is because the android ID changed and it doesn't recognize my wife's phone.
My question is how can I fix this? I tried using TiBu to restore previous ID but it doesn't find a prior android ID.
I really need some advice to help save me. Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
-Steve
Contact google, you had your receipt sent to your e-mail account.

From my experience as long as I use the same Google account I purchased the app with there is no problems with re-installing the app directly from the Playstore then I restore data using TB if required. I sometimes have issues with TB not backing up the market links properly.
Basically if you sign in using the same Google account then the purchased app should show as purchased but not installed once you click it in my apps you should be given the option to install. If you aren't then gastonw has provided the only other option.

GastonW - Thanks for the advice. I will try contacting google through the play store tonight.
Auss - The device is definitely linked to her google account. She has only ever had one google account and all the apps except the paid ones reinstalled fine.
From searching on the forums it does seem that this is related to the android ID changing when the system was wiped and upgraded to JB. Unfortunately, since my TiBu backup was hosed on the microSD card I am unable to restore the previous Android ID or the app backup.
I am hoping that google will be able to restore my prior android ID otherwise it seems I might have to contact each software developer of the paid apps and try to get them to honor the app. Has anyone had to go this route?
Again, any feedback or advice is appreciated. I will keep you posted on my progress with this dilema.

Always keep Tibu updated, it will prompt android id change when it actually changes.

Ok, I blew it! (he says sheepishly)
This is one of those situations where I should have check my premises.
I was updating my wife on my troubleshooting efforts including contacting Google and SplashData when she happened to mention that she actually does have another google account. She did not realize it had been linked to her phone before but after I added it back to her phone the problem with SplashID resolved.
I do appreciate everyone's helpful advice and I appologize for the wild goose chase.
Thanks again,
Steve
Hell of a goose!

[Q]Titanium backup question and also list of Alternative "markets" people use
I do not own a kindle fire HDX, but I may get one for Christmas this year. Unlike some people in these forums, I would not care if the kindle's amazon services were broken, only reason I chose this tablet was for the SnapDragon 800 and Adreno 330 over the nexus 7's S4 pro and Adreno 320. So if i were to get the 7 inch variant and root it, what markets do you use to get your Google play store apps? another question that I have is the use of titanium backup. I own a HTC Evo 4g lte smartphone running Android 4.1.2. if i were to get an app on my phone, back it up with titanium backup, then copy that folder to my kindle, and try restoring the apps(just the app not the data) using a copy of titanium backup on my kindle, would this work? if someone who has another android device and a rooted kindle and wants to try this out that would be awesome. Any response is appreciated.

There are several alternative markets mentioned around. I use 1Mobile. (http://www.1mobile.com/) it has many of the same apps as the Play Store, just maybe not the most current version. Be aware it will install its own market app but it's not intrusive.
As for restoring backups from TiBu, If it's s paid app then you'll likely run into licensing issues since the app won't be able to verify the license with the Play Store. If it's a game you're restoring then game data will/may have to be downloaded again to resolve differences in graphics chips. I restored TiBu and Root Explorer, both paid. TiBu works but as the free version. Root Explorer seemed to work fine. Other games I restored wouldn't load at all, failing on license check.

thanks, i just thought i would ask. i'll check out 1mobile.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Just throwing in my two cents here. While titanium backup works on the fire after root it gets hung on the checking for license screen of you install the pro apk. This happens even if you restore the data folder it creates with the licensing info. Also 1mobile seems to work just fine.
