Hi guys, I'm just asking about restoring data using My Backup Pro. Say I got a new phone, root it, install an app (e.g. Angry Birds) and restore the app data backed up with My Backup Pro, will the data backup regardless of the version of Angry Birds that was installed?
E.g. When I backed up the data on my current device Angry Birds was version 2.3.0, but when I try to restore that data to the Angry Birds on my other device where the version is 3.1.0, will the data still back up?
Btw, this topic has not yet been covered in another thread specific to X10 Mini.
Thanks,

It will put the data back regardless of version, it just restores the folder and it's contents (for example: /data/angrybirds/andwhateverisinhere). The only problem may be that the new version of angry birds uses a different format for storing it's progress, and can't read the data of the older version.
Hi SmG67,
Thanks for your reply. As this program appears to be able to transfer apps 'legitimately" http://www.wondershare.com/phone-transfer/ , does anybody know some suitable alternatives? I don't want to pay $39.95 for a program which I'm only going to use once or twice if I ever choose to switch phones.
Thanks,

The link you give looks like it promises more than it can deliver. It states that it can transfer apps from Android to iOS and Symbian for example and there is no way that the apps from Android are going to work on iOS.
If you stick with Android on your new device, then Titanium Backup might be a solution for you
Does Titanium Backup also backup market links as well? And would the apps restored on the new device show up on Google Play?
Thanks,

If you are talking about "data" like the progress on Angry Birds, then there is no way to do that without root. (at least on 2.x,afaik)
If you have root you can always create and restore backups with Titanium backup.

That's pretty much what I'm talking about – I'd like to transfer all my Tapatalk forum logins etc. over to the prime. I do have root on my phone.
I would think you would need root on phone AND tablet. Use something like Titanium backup on phone.. copy the Titanium folder to tablet.. install Titanium backup there and then restore the app on the tablet.
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if there is a way to install in "batch mode" apps from the market. Since I change rom very often, it takes me a lot of time to install over 200 apps, one by one, from the market every time.
Thanks everybody.

Why don't you use Titanium Backup? You can just use the Batch option to backup and then restore all your apps with data. (you should have the pro version for this). You don't have to depend on the Market (or the Play store) for restoring the apps. Titanium Backup even restores the apps with the market links. Couldn't live without it.
Ok thank you for fast reply.... I already bought titanium pro but if I restore the apps from titanium, will they updated from the market? Or what happen with the purchased apps? Thanks you for your help!

Titanium Backup Pro not only backups up your apps and data, but it also backs up 'market links'. So after restoring your apps, your market app will recognize the installed apps and you can update the apps in the future when you get any updates. And it will also work with purchased apps, so don't worry.
My silly method for new roms .
Update apps on the market .
Update the Titanium Pro backup .
Do a Nandroid backup .
New rom .
Restore apps from TB .
Nandroid in reserve in case you want to go back to old rom .

Wow! Perfect!
Now last question: i heard that somebody suggest to restore only the apps and not the data, because it can creates some problem for mixing old data with the new system. Is it true or i can go on in this way?

You can restore Apps+Data for all your apps. No problem. But do NOT restore with Data for any system app coz your new ROM will have different system data. You don't have to worry about normal apps though.

Now I'll try this method to change my stock rom into the new Miui v4!
I have used Titanium Backup and also the App-Manager plugin for ROM Toolkit (Both very good apps) but neither seem to backup game data for games such as Angry Birds Space. Meaning that when I flash a new ROM and I restore my apps with whatever application I used to back it up, that the data isnt restored. Its a bit annoying. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if so, if they found a solution?
Cheers
hi all i want to make a question but im not sure if this is the right place to post . i am using the d4 rom but its not working good as i expected the camera stops , cant open some apps , wifi sometimes doesnt work and a lot of other things . i have some apps like asphalt 6 nba jam and i want to back up them without loosing the data which means without losing the levels that i had unlocked . so please someone tell me how to do that ! thanks all .
try titanium backup from play store.
This will save your apps and their data. When you just need a few apps to be restored the free version will do for you. If you have a lot of apps think about the pro / donate version which can do batch restore.
donny
titanium works for me but i don kno abt ur levels ,iam not a gammer
Titanium backup should take backup of your game data (it does for my games), although some games might save their data on the SD-card.
I had problems with my camera on D4 v8.0, but it was solved by updating to the latest Siyah Kernel 3.1.2.
BTW:
Are you using Siyah Kernel RC6?
In that case, do NOT do a factory reset, it might brick your phone!
If rooted, try DataSync from google Play (free)
Install Titanium Backup from the Play Store and run a Batch App + Data Back up. After your flash re-install TB, and restore with a Batch Restore.
Use titanium backup,if you want to know how heres the link

Having always rooted my phones I never had an issue backing up apps and data via Titanium backup but am now looking for a solution to back up apps and their data on my non-rooted Z2.
Having just flashed the latest Z2 firmware via Flashtool which wipes the phone, I've restored backups I had made with Sonys Back Up and Restore app only to find it didn't backup all it said it did, so had a number of apps and data missing.
Can anyone recommend a solution to this

I was in the same boat as yourself, Ive found a good one is HELIUM, plus helium will state what apps don't have a backup option coded into them so unlike sonys own app u wont be annoyed when some apps do/don't backup Also Helium allows cloud backups as well as internal and external sd card backups
Im currently using helium for apps and Mybackup pro for my text message backups as I found heliums message backups were weirdly in the opposite date order to normal use( instead of latest being at bottom of list it was at top)
Thanks mate, will give Helium a try

Just confiming, does Hellium doesnt back up the app data like TB?
I know ive read somewhere there is an app by chainfire for app and data backup for non rooted but at first glance it seem a bit long winded so never bothered with it.
I used easy backup which restored my apps, sms, mms, call log etc all no probs but yeah problem was no data backed up so had to set them all up like email, settings etc all over again.
I understand Unlocking and Rooting an Xperia is a tough task. But the stock ROM is good enough.
A good article here. It helped me and it may help you too buddy.

well your not gonna get the same level of backup due to lack of root, but for me it saved things like game progression(i.e angry birds) but didn't save things like custom widget sets in HD widgets app. But not the end of the world.
Ive started looking at my backups a bit more in detail and asking do I really need a backup of some apps, as some are just install-login to app and use no custom data to speak of to really backup. Or other apps like XDA app and game progression which have custom settings and progression Id like to save.

bro, Last time I used Helium is when it was called Carbon, I tried it with Xperia S and it didn't worked at all, after that I saw this in it's description in Play Store
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

I lost hope after that, so does it work now on Z2 ?
I'm still not in a hurry to have Z2 as there's still no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, and I will not unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition first ( which requires root )... so I've been looking for a way to copy some of my app's data from my old phone to Z2, I used to use Titanium Backup always but you know, no root = no TB...
so can you confirm please that you used Helium to backup AND restore app's data to the Z2 ? or you're just guessing from a non-xperia experience ?

I used helium to backup my apps on my s3 then install them on my z2, ive also backedup up my current apps on my z2 since, but like ive already said helium cant backup certain apps as the app developer hasn't allowed backup function. Helium did the job for me for my game progression and a few apps where I wanted current setup saved.
