Hey I have SMS backups from the LTEvo and want to get them onto my S3. All of the SMS restore apps I'm finding in the play store keep telling me the backups aren't found because I'm guessing they aren't compatible. Is there either a way to change the file type to make these apps work or is there another app that read this? Thanks.

Its telling me no backups were found in the specified location when I know 2 are on that folder. So I'm assuming these types of backups that are used in the stock Evo messaging app aren't compatible with MyBackup pro.

Just use an SMS backup app from the play store. Download the same app on the S3, locate the backup file, profit...I did it for my wife from her Epic 4G to her S3.

Ok...well maybe you could try the different apps anyway...one *might* be able to read the file format.
I would try myself, but I forgot my phone at home today (conveniently).

I need to find out what type of odd file its making it maybe it will be easier to find the right app. I've already tried 3 or 4 different ones with the same result.

If you had someone with an eltevo it could be done easily. Where are you? I would load the backup on mine and convert it to a go SMS or some apk that would allow you to bring them over.

If you created a backup via twrp or titanium it's quite easy to get back your saves. They're usually stored along with other data in /data/data/name.of.app
If you restore that, they will more than likely come back. If you're restoring from TWRP, then it's nothing more than a tar file which you can open in WinRAR, 7-zip, or any other qualified archiver. I'm not sure if the newest TWRP (1.1?) stores backups in this way since it does them a bit different and aren't compatible with previous versions, but it is worth a try!

The Good The Bad and The Evo
I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

Thanks for the info guys.
Does this still work?
I have downloaded the files and use titanium to restore...
The app runs but gives me the "device not supported yet" banner.
I can use it to manage my account and all... but no play...
anyone?

...that can restore another apps data from a nandroid. I play Mousetrap, a lot, and I swear I was about on the 9th chapter sorta thing. And then my titanium backup messed up the backup, and now I'm pissed. Because I have to start over. Lol. But when I try to restore that rom where the data was on, it goes into a bootloop, so I can't even get into it. Anybody know how to retrieve specific data from a nandroid?
Edit: Did not mean to post this in the Rezound general, meant for the Incredible forums. But oh well, still, can anybody help?

App extractor? I couldn't find it on the market. I'll look on the web for an apk though.
yeah that would be cool. I used to play Plants vs Zombies but upon switching roms and losing the save data I was all "nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!!"
and never played again.
on a side note, I see R-Type is on the Market... =O
I bought it from the market. Don't know why you can't find it. There is a free version to. I would send you the apk but I have the paid version.

if you send him the apk it should notify him of a licensing issue with his account and bring him to the page on the market to purchase it.
however, I did a search for it also and nothing came up. may have been removed from market for some reason.
Titanium Backup Pro can restore apps from a nandroid now. with CWM 5 on the Dinc

Yeah, I found a copy of an apk with a key for it also. For free. It's not like the developer is making money off it anyways, it's off the market, lol.

Really? I don't have Pro, but I'll try that here soon, because even though app extractor worked for extracting the actual apk, it didn't get the data.
so here's what was wrong...
if you search market for "app extractor", it does not come up.
if you search instead for "appextractor", then it does.
bloody market!...
Ok, before I get flamed, I know there's a batch option in TB to restore all apps you have a backup of in one shot. However, I have backups of a bunch of apps I don't necessarily want installed right now, but I don't want deleted completely either. I'm running Newt's OneXXX RLS 1, and he just updated it to 2.1. I just got all my apps that I want installed on this, and don't feel like doing them one-by-one again if I update. My question is this: Is there a way to make a zip or something of just the apps I currently have installed on this ROM, and then to run it on the install of 2.1 so that only those apps will be installed? BTW, yes, I'm using Pro.
I just deselect the ones I don't want installed in batch.

I've been trying to figure out something like this too. Thought there might be a way to use labels to create a set of specific apps, haven't had time to mess around with it.

I use that all the time to get rid of stuff I don't want.
I can't find my sdcard which has all of my backups...I have a few others kicking around that I can use but what do i do if I want to go back to gb or back to stock ics... getting tired of all the bugs and freeze ups with my current hybrid rom.

Downloads are available on the forum for the stock GB and the latest leaks. I don't see what your issue is. Just reflash.
All your apps are at the play store.
Learn to back up SMS and phone logs. Use titanium back up and push everything to Dropbox then you will be able to flash fearlessly.
Just to expand on what ranger said...thx ranger [email protected]: get the paid ver of Tibu...Titanium Backup you will not be sorry best $$ spent, plus google the youtube vid on how to use the tibu...best time spent...
it is a very awesome tool...I never leave home with out...cuz it is on my phone...LOL, kdding..

No ones freaking out buddy...all I'm saying is that I had a very nice collection of backups including a backup of my note stock out of the box. Just about every rom out there stresses to make a backup and not to use tbu especially for data, which is why I don't use it. Obviously I know I can just make a backup of my current rom and flash any rom I want but I wasn't sure or didn't know stock gb was or is available just in case I need to get my phone warrentied for any reason. And when I flash a new rom I never restore apps and such, the only thing I restore are my sms ...I like a fresh phone.

Thanks for the replies guys but I wasn't concerned with apps and data, all I basically wanted to know was if stock gb was available in case I ever need to return my phone (I made a backup of gb on my sdcard which I lost) I don't care about call logs and I do backup and restore my SMS. I tend not to use tbu since my roms suggest not to use it especially to restore data.

I think you misunderstand. TB is one of the top apps for android and everyone who is rooted should get familiar with it. But you need to use it wisely. Using TB incorrectly can cause ForceCloses with both User and System apps. When using it on the Note and especially going from a gingerbread to ICS ROM it is suggested to restore user apps only but not the associated data.
