anyone know how to update the ad-free version to the new western version without losing save data?
There is an "angry birds save your save" app in the market. Run it to backup your save data, update angry birds and then use the tool to restore your saves.

There's an ad-free version?
Check out am app in the market called "Addfree"
It will kill 99% of the ads on all apps...

That's what I thought too. I guess I was confused with what OP was asking.
some one created a recoded ad free version so there is no need for third party apps and im wondering how i keep my save file on this recoded version when i go to the standard version with apps
Isn't recoded just code for pirated?

use a file explorer and browse to /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/ and backup the file highscores.lua
then remove your hacked version, install the market one and put the file back
be sure to set the permissions right on the file

So when angry birds first came out I downloaded it from the market (they used another market, but it crashed so they went with the market)
It wasn't until I switched to a different rom that I realized that I didn't have ads on my angry birds earlier.
Luckily I made a nandroid backup, so I still have access to the files.
I tired reinstalling the same apk that I downloaded on my old rom but it gave me ads on my new one.
Any ideas on what files to switch? It would be nice to have an ad free version

I just downloaded the full version (with ads), then downloaded ad-free....no more ads, but still full version.
I should mention, however, that I will be purchasing the ad-free version when it arrives.
wat thread did you get the add free apk from
It's in the market its adfree android

I want to get the new levels but I don't know how to update the stock one. When I download the market version, I get two apps of angry birds one stock and the market version with all of the levels. My problem with this is that my stock version is the one with all of the levels beaten and when I open the market version, I don't have anything beat.

Unfortunately, you will have to root your device to get rid of system apps. Once you do however, you can either install a new ROM that doesn't have the app preinstalled, or you can use a tool like Bloat Freezer to "freeze" the app, and possibly uninstall it. Freezing it will make it look uninstalled to you, but it will still actually be on the system - the only problem is that uninstalling some preinstalled apps can prevent updates from deploying on your device. That's why it's best to freeze instead of uninstall - but it might not matter with Angry Birds.
I had the same problem but since my phone is rooted I was able to uninstall the stock Angry Birds. I downloaded the newest version of Angry Birds but the bad thing is that it has ads.

You can use an app called root tools to block ads.
I just used titanium backup and froze the stock one.
I don't think the question was answered, and I am curious as well. Basically, it sounds like if you want the new levels, you have to DL the market app to replace the built in one as there is no way to update the preinstalled version.
This means that he would lose his progress in the pre-installed game and have to start over on the DL version (and endure ads unless rooted), correct?
Is there perhaps a file that stores the progress that could be moved over to the other version?

Yeah that was what I was trying to ask.

In Titanium Backup, if long-pressing on an app there's an option to Attach to Market. My thinking is that with this option, if I have an app on my phone that was not downloaded from the Market, I could 'attach to market' in order to receive update notifications for the app.
Is this wrong? Because I've attached an app to the market via titanium backup, but it doesn't show under My Apps in the Market.
Thanks for the help/clarification!
Yes, when you buy an app from the market, it comes almost like it's signed or something. There is a verification of it somewhere on the google servers. That's why it tells you download denied. Hope that helps a bit... So all amazon free apps must wait for amazon to update

so to clarify, if i download an app (.apk) and copied it to my sd card, then installed it on my phone and 'attached' it to the market via titanium backup, it won't really do anything? like, this doesn't make the market think i downloaded it from the market?
For paid apps, no... If you attach to market then clear market data and reboot phone, it could show up under your app lost... But if you try and update it... It will tell you update declined... So basically yeah, force attach doesn't really do much in that situation

thanks for the info!
As a new Android user with the samsung I have just downloaded and paid for my first App from the Play Store.
How do I back it up in case I need to restore it in the future?
Where is the app stored? I downloaded Sketchbook Pro but when I look in the folder that has been created there are no files!
Uset Titanium Backup for data. Play remembers that you purchased The app, so it probably even restores itself if you eg reset your device.

No need to backup, really. Play Store will have it for you when you reset your device so you can install it again and on as many devices as you want as long as they use your email address.
If you are root. go to /system/ app/ this is where they usually are . Some apps use your personal media space to share data.. like in .. /sdcard/android/???? somtimes this is a folder called obb.. Sometimes the /sdcard could be / data/ sorry i do not yet have this tablet but looking forword to getting it . As soon as i get my refund for the two nexus 7 defective devices i sent back..
What about apps like Plague inc. which have in app purchases?

As long as you purchase from Google play and use the same email account, Google will remember the in-app purchases too. I purchased an app that had an in-app option which i also bought, installed the same app on two devices i.e.tablet and phone and had no issues including the in-app aspect.
App backup and restore works fine for me, just backing up the app but not the data.
Aside from the fact that your purchases are tied to your Google account as they said, you can use AirDroid (which is really really handy) to pull APK files from your device and make back-up copies on your PC. Just don't, you know, distribute them.

I use ES Taskmanager and ES Exlorer to backup and access my apps. It allows you to select where you want to save your backups and it gets all the apps I have tried including purchased apps like Sketchbook Pro. Then I like to copy the backed up apps and store them elsewhere for safe keeping in case for some reason that app gets dropped from where I got it or it is replaced with a version I don't like. BTW you don't need to know where the app is ES Taskmanager will find them. Note some apps when you find where they are they are listed with odd names like "vnz-1111881564.apk" for Kindle reader so knowing where they are does not really help all the time but ES Taskmanager shows the name you will recognize.
I recently rooted my phone and got rid of all the att crapware and a few other programs. I removed the Movie Editor app and now I don't even see it in my apps in the playstore. I'm wondering if this is an app that I should be keeping or is there a better app in the playstore? And if there is isn't a better one how can I go about getting this app back?

You won't find it in your app list on the play store. It's an HTC app. You should use titanium backup or a similar app to just freeze unwanted apps or backup and uninstall instead of just deleting them.
If you want the app back, download one of the sense roms from the dev forum, extract the movie editor apk and push it to /system/app.
Either that, or find an alternative app. Magisto is a good free one, and there are plenty of other free or paid apps available.

I like to freeze apps in Titanium Backup rather than uninstalling outright, as the process is easily reversible. You need the "Pro" license to freeze apps, but its well worth the few dollars to get it, for this and the batch functions.
