I need some help. I've been playing Dungon Hunter 4 on my Prime for some time and I'd like to put my progress on my phone so I can play when times get slow when I don't have my Prime with me. I've searched all I could to find an answer and I've done all the necessary steps to move the app data from the Prime to my phone (TB folder). I go to my copy of TB on my phone and it shows the backup taken from the Prime so I press restore. It says it restores but when I open DH4 (installed the app from the market before moving backup file to phone) my progress is not where I am on my Prime. It's as if I just installed the app and never played it yet. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks
You've got to do backup with data and when you restore this it will restore all your scores, etc

Hi!
I'm gonna submit my Samsung Galaxy S2 back to the company where i bought it from because it is not possible to call with it (people hear me very bad and it echoes for them). I have NOT rooted my phone. Is there a FREE backup app that I can take backup of all contacts, messages, apps, games, any settings, etc? And then save it on your computer or something, so if I get a new Samsung Galaxy S2, i can have everything back.
Thanks!
My backup root can back everything up, needs root though.
Contacts = your taking the piss right??
games = you can just re-install them, tied to your account
messages = http://www.galaxys2forums.com/samsu...ransfer-sms-from-android-to-computer/new/#new
mybackup and sprite back up "apparently " can without root

For backing up your contacts, you can use your Google account or even Kies. Similarly, your Google account may restore your apps (fresh install), depending on your settings for your account (Back up apps and data enabled?). Nevertheless, this only restores apps directly downloaded from the market (non-backed up). You'll need to copy the folders in which your game data is stored (e.g. "gameloft" in your sd card), as restoring the app will not keep that data. Just copy the whole directory to your computer.

Allright, thank you very much! If i copy the gameloft folder to my desktop and then put it on the new phone. Will they be installed directly?
For SMS I would recommend SMS backup+
would be good if google backed up app data to the cloud as well in case of a reinstall when moving phones

Yes and no! You'll need to download the game app (about 3mb) (but not the full game) again. But for all the data which is part of the game (about 300mb) you can simply copy the folder. If you have a paid full version, you not need do do anything else (at least for gameloft games). You don't even need to backup the game app, as you'll be able to download the trial version again. After pasting the copied "gameloft" folder back on your phone, the trial version will become a full version automatically.
Just be carefull to enable "USB Utilities" on "Wireless and Network" settings before copying, otherwise you'll risk copying an empty folder.

Aight, so first i copy it to the computer. Then on the new phone, i download "game app" from the.market. Then copy the folder.
Exactly.
However, I was just wondering... The only thing is that I did it many times but with the same phone (i.e. new firmware but same IMEI number). I'm not sure if it will be hassle free if you do this in a phone with different IMEI number, as there might be some sort of protection against copying a paid game to another device.
Nevertheless, as you have paid for it you probably still have how to prove it to gameloft should you have any trouble. and download a new key if this is the case.

Hello, I have a game on my phone (drag racing) and I have it backed up with tibu and I also have tibu on my tfp. How can I get that game with all my progress onto my prime. I would assume its possibly but I'm not sure how. I tried to find the files but there's a few of them so I don't know what is what. Thanks.

I think you can just restore the backup from TB to get the game installed. However, the game progress can only be transferred by copying the program data files located in the sdcard of your phone to the TP. Make sure you place it in the same file/folder structure, the way you found it on your phone. Hope that helps.
the files are located at sdcard/titanium
if you want to copy over only selective apps, there will be 3 related files for each app to work.
use this method to make ur whatsapp work on tab.
^^^^^^ thanks. I got it by long pressing the backup on my phone then hitting "send backup". I never saw that before.

Almost all my data has been stored by default to my internal storage. Pictures, DL's, I figure I will sync to my laptop and back them up there, but there must be an easier way all you flash addicts are doing it. And TB is still preferred method to back up and restore all apps, msgs and call logs?
Is there a good startup noob guide? Things change so fast around here I never know if the guides are now obsolete.

Clockworkmod recovery......for a complete backup...
and although TB is a great app, it seems to cause as many problems as it solves..
the app pulls data into a fresh build (on occasion) and causes problems when setting up..
I personally load "all" of my apps from the market again, on a fresh rom install....g
Most would store their downloads and pics on the external sd card. Contacts should be made google contacts that way they sync automatically. And Titanium backup works well. You just have to know what to restore. Issues are usually attributed to user error by not knowing fully what they are doing.
Taking everyone's valuable suggestions one step further, send backups from external sd card to Google Drive or Dropbox.

So you change the default settings of where to store dl's and photos every time you flash a new rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
When I restore I log in to google and get TiBU.
I make sure it knows my backup folder location.
I restore the apps I backed up. Never select restore system apps.
Then I restore sms and calls. When I restored those apps they get their settins restore so I don't have to do anything.
So the only location I check/change is TiBU.
I used to CWM but now I use TWRP for flashing and creating backups. I also use TB pro and I have to say I haven't had any problems but I do only restore apps and their data and nothing else. I also have become a fan of My Backup. I am able to backup and restore how I have my icons saved on my screen. Makes it real easy and quick to get back up and running.

You can save the launcher and it's data with tibu also, no need for a second app...That's what i do
hell some launchers have a backup option built into them.
Serious? Well face palm myself. I never paid attention that TB did.

Just so you know, nothing on your internal or external SD is affected by flashing a ROM. Sounds like you think you might lose your pictures and downloads. They will be safe unless you format them.
OK, so I bought the pro version of TiBu, actually had a tough time getting it to sync with the free version and recognize the key on fresh rom install....
But my bigger problem after rom install hand TiBU restore...I am getting 3 errors and it caused the phone to hang so bad, had to do a factory reset and start from scratch with everything.
1. Calendar sync not working properly
2. Messages sync not working properly
3. Android.process.acore not working properly.
I would love to flash roms more often but dont out of fear of having to restore everything I liked back manually (I have to learn how to backup launcher too BC that is a big time factor in setup after a flash)

The trick is the System Apps. If they're Green then you can usually backup and restore them without any issue. If they're Red then you shouldn't back them up and restores won't be useful.
For some of the Green items (e.g., messages, bookmarks, call log) there's a Yellow equivalent which indicates XML. For these, you should favor the XML since it'll restore across ROMs better.
For all apps, if you switch between ROMs that are extremely different (for example, if you jump straight from stock GB to CM9(ICS) then there can be problems. You can usually get around these by uninstalling the offending app, installing from Play Store and then restoring just the data.
So i have angry birds,
And currently am playing Little Piggys, Star Wars and Space from Rovio
I know how to backup my saves, I know where they are located.
but i have been playing the free Add version for ages on these game, and i went and got the HD version (Mainly for my tablet)
But its not as simple as buy the paid version and continue from where you left off, I have yet manage to copy the correct files to the save location on the premium version for it to work.
I figured out its two files. Settings and highscore in the /files/ folder
But when i move them over it just resets the game as if it was a fresh install.
Anyone ever managed to do this? or know of a tool?
I dont want to use these Unlockers as am half way through and all 3 stars and its my work
plus i know if i used the unlocker it would ruin the point of playing the same level 20 times for them 3 stars
Any help would be great thanks
I have tried:
Tit Backup, But as the games are called something different i.e. Addversion and premium version it does not restore.
And things like Game Sync dont work too
If you want to use saves of add in premium...rename the data backup of add to that of of premium and restore....for example- data backup of add com.rovio.addx
Data backup of premium- com.rovio.pemiumx
Interchange their file name and restore via tb

Hi, I downloaded Dead Trigger and Holy Archer from the Play Store, both of them are >100Mb's, and I backed them up, so i could put them on my phone.
Now, the problem is, that to even post this question, I am using a rooted Samsung Captivate Glide with a wifi hotspot I made.
I don't have the data plan to be able to download all of that data, and I was wondering if there was any way I could backup the WHOLE app, or at least find where the data is installed and transfer it there.
You can use titanium backup to auto do it for you, or ROM toolbox or a slue of other apps.
You could use adb or a file explorer to pull the app and data from data/app and from data/data
These are the usual locations but can also be stored mtd/sdcard or data/app-private or even elsewhrere, need to browse around to find it (may also need libs)

Hey, thanks for the input!
Yeah, I figured it out.
I just copied the respective folders from obb and data, and it worked flawlessly on my phone.
Thanks!
