Backup of app data - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Evening fellow members,
I have successfully rooted my S3 and about to install some custom roms. I know how to backup all my apps using Titanium but does this also save the data? I.e Real Racing 3 game and save game play data so I dont loose any game play etc.
it would be a shame to start over again....NOT !!!!
cheers

Yes it does, do it regularly or schedule TB to backup automatically the apps you want to do.
When you tap the restore option you get the choice to restore App, App & Data or just Data.

Cheers ag4751 for your help. I thought it would as its a very good app on rooted devices but its better to get a little confirmation that it does. Thanks

Transfer app data from Android to another Android

I don't plan to switch phones anytime soon, but it would be good to know for the future.
Is there a way to transfer the data from apps from one Android to another? This is especially useful for games with saved data inside the phone, such as Angry Birds or Temple Run.

You can use the application titanium backup, the paid version sports bulk operationand us Hyatt want you need, although it's not recommended to use it across Android versions
Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
Or MyBackup. Backup all your appa and it will create a folder on your sdcard with all your applications u backed up!
The savefiles is not available for every games, just some games futures savefiles that are on the sdcard also. You just have to check if your games got savefiles (try searching for the game name on the sdcard and see if there is some extra files).

Sync game saves between phone and tablet.

I'm currently playing Dead Space and Mass Effect on my android tablet. I'd like to be able to play the games on my phone without having to start over. Does any one know of a good way to sync the game saves between the devices?
Thanks

I would try Ti Backup Pro, I use it to sync my data saves to my Dropbox or Google Drive, then both device have access to the same data. Install the app normally though just restore the data...Of course both have to be rooted I think to properly save data like that.
Good Luck,
jerems
I've not rooted my phone yet but will do that tonight and give it a try.

This is a better solution:
Root both devices
Download DirectoryBind (from XDA)
Install Dropbox (I'm sure you already have it, but if you don't use my link and we both get free space)
Create a link between your dropbox folder and the gamesave folder (so effectively, the save is sent to the dropbox folder instead. Whenever the game looks for the save it thinks it's finding it in the usual location, but instead it's on dropbox)
Do the same for both devices for effortless saving between devices
(I have a similar script setup for my PC game saves )
I finally got round to rooting my phone last night. I gave directory bind a try. I have set it up on the phone and the tablet. everything seems to be syncing fine however the game progress isn't syncing. Am I wrong in thinking that the game saves will be in the data folder for the game? for instance
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.deadspace_row/files/published/data
Thanks

Where is the save file located for mass effect? I could not find it in the eagames folder in the android directory. Would it be possible to take the save file from my phone and add it to my tablet for mass effect? I don't need it to sync but i gamed on my phone but now that i have a nexus 7 i would like to do all my gaming there.
any help or suggestions without rooting both? Additionally, a few of my nexus 7s have had screen lifts so I may be getting them replaced with google. I would also be filling to just transfer the mass effect save file from nexus7 to nexus 7
thanks,
Brian

this works without rooting? I only ask without trying because i'd need to buy the pro version to try it.
Yes it works without root...

Hi there, first time poster so I'm hoping for good luck
I need to transfer my saved game from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7 tablet. This is a one-time only transfer (I don't need to be going back and forth between devices). Is there any way to accomplish this for Deadspace without root and without paying for the pro version of an app?
My other option is to root both devices but I would then have to immediately unroot the Galaxy Nexus (And I'm still not clear on whether there is some secret way Verizon can tell that I have rooted my phone in the past).
Thanks for all your help!

Good way to back up apps and data when flashing new ROMs?

Hey guys, I am using this awesome AOKP ROM that lately has had a lot of nightlies. I have found that going back into the play store and redownloading every app I wanted is kind of a chore and I figure there has to be a good way to back up my apps. Does anyone know one?
Also when I do reinstall my apps, all the app data (game progress user logins etc) are gone. How can I back that up?
And finally if I do back up the data from the apps, will that mess with my ROM at all?
I'm sure this is all pretty beginner stuff, but I suppose Im a beginner at android
Thanks in advanced!

As priyesh103 said, you can use Titanium Backup.
Backing up and restoring app data should be safe in almost all cases but if you restore certain system settings you can mess things up if you change to another ROM or in some cases to another version of the same ROM. If you made a complete backup you can just try it. In the worst case you'd have to wipe or reflash, but since you have a backup that shouldn't be a big problem.
Titanium backup all the way! Buy pro if you have lots of apps. It also let's you backup and restore apps on any new phones you get, as long as its rooted.
Must have root app

Barclays app backup with Titanium Backup?

Hi all. I have Barclays app installed and runs great without any issues (yes Rooted). But when I do a backup of the app so i can say eg flash a clean install of the same rom and then restore it. It no longer works? I have to call Barclays up and they have to delete my sign up info on there side so that I can do the first up again. This is the only thing stopping me getting Titanium Backup pro app as want to support the dev and use the app regularly. If anyone has any advice or a solution I would be very greatful

When you are restoring the Barclays app, don't restore the app data, just restore the app alone.
But I could download off Google play and enter details again. But I am hoping I can do a restore of the app and data to save entering the details in again

No. you can't do that. Apps like that wont accept using your old data in a way.

^^This.
Its the same with the natwest app. You cant restore backed up data for security reasons.
All I do is install the app, clear data and then launch app and set it back up, only takes a few seconds to get sms code and back in business.
Thanks for the answers and your time.

wipe device.
Since I updated, I have noticed that nothing was missing, not even Guest Mode.
The performance was good but a little lag but has always, I reseted the device to stop the bugs but I was planning on rooting the device but the bad news went up so yeah, some or most devices has no missing applications temporarily after the update.

Hi,
Did a system restore but the apps didn't show up. Then I manually downloaded r5a and did a restore from SD. Everything is OK now. Hopefully my scores in Pinball Heroes were not lost. But I'll have to re-program all the remotes again... is there a way to backup them?
Anyway, thanks!

The built in google restore only works when you install that corrosponding application again like for an example, a Email Client has been wiped off and Googe Restore has that data, you need to reinstall that application from the Play Store again (Will not work has an APK has that is not provided from the google servers) and then the application has that data back.
You can use Titanium Backup if you are rooted.

Pinball Heroes is part of the factory install so it didn't came from Play store!
The apps are still there under the apps folder
They weren't on the desktop, but I went to the apps and all those apps were there to be installed.

I know.
So anyway the Pro is that the data is backed up but the con is that you need to reinstall the applications from the play store after the wipe.
And when I say wipe I mean factory reset.
Yeah so bugs occur due to previous data so you need to factory reset.
So Pinball Heros..., Unfortunately has have what I have experienced, you cannot save that data without Titanium Backup.
