not sure if this is the correct spot but is there a way to transfer my angry birds game between ROM switches. i love switching ROMs occasionally but hate losing game progress. so is there a way to move it to my pc or sd card and then back to the phone after another flash of a new ROM.
currently on Fresh3.3.0.1
going to move to myn.
apps2sd does not work by the way. atleast since i last tried (last week)
If you use Titanium backup, it'll backup the app and the data so when you restore it. then you'll be able to pick up where you left off.
yup thats what i do to save my game!! no way im losing my stars!! haha
after every game I fire up titanium backup!!

exactly what i do.
I was more saying save angry birds. Switch roms. Load angry birds on new Rom and play as if it is on your old Rom

Yes, titanium back up will do that. D/L from market, click on app to backup, flash new rom, d/l ti backup from market, click app to restore, and then you will have a choice App or APP+Data, choose App+Data and your progress up to the last time you backed it up will be restored on any ROM.

Just cheat.
Open the app, center the world you want to unlock.
the press back button until your out of app.
Restart app. Then spam push the play button,
Your unlocked. As long as you complete the first world, it will stay unlocked.
I just rooted my girlfriends EVO and installed Fresh. I used appbrain to backup the apps, she nearly had a heart attack when she saw her angry birds deleted.
Lesson learned.
I've got an issue and want to know if someone has an easy solution.
I'd like to bring over all my apps from my phone, but bring their saved data with them. I know how to do this with titanium backup, but I don't want to go through all the trouble with rooting just to use it. Since Asus is still working out their bugs with OTA updates, I don't want to lose the OTA notifications.
An example is I already installed Angry Birds, but I have to start over from the beginning. Is there any way to get the saved data from my phone so I don't have to play all those levels again? (obviously, I want app data for more apps than just angry birds, but this is an easy example)
My Transformer is working fine with none of the reported bugs at all. I don't want to downgrade, root, then upgrade again and risk ruining a good thing unless that's the only option.
At least for angry birds, you can get an app in the marketplace that will backup and restore your game saves. Just search Angry Birds Backup.
Awesome, Thanks! That one worked like a charm.
Now I just hope someone writes a backup app for every app I have installed.
mybackup
try this> mybackup. the best solution for a batch file installation. You can setup a schedule of backups as well.There is a paid version and a free version.
Well, not quite, but saved me a lot of aggravation! I know most people know this, but I thought I'd share. I had serious issues with a certain app from the market. After a few attempts and a reboot all my apps and system services were FC'ing. I rebooted several times, and the same happened. I could do nothing.
I researched, and others said you need a factory reset, so I girded my loins and did the deed.
By great fortune I had only recently cleared a couple of GB on my external SD and backed up the entire system with Titanium Backup. I could then easily not only restore the apps, but all the data, relieving me from the need to reconfigure several dozen critical apps. I even had my bluetooth and wireless settings restored.
Cannot praise it enough, just coughed up for the pro version to back up using dropbox too. That way, if my Note should ever get purloined, I can buy another one and restore at will.

+1, I agree too..
titanium back up pro
Completely agree! Ever since I converted from Symbian to Android, I could not resist myself with the amount of "playing around" that is possible, and hence the need to wipe all your data.
Over the weekend I used the TB at least 5-6 times and every time it worked flawlessly.
Other uses include- Market application which is a sore point for many custom ROMS, I could solve the issue by just toggling it to user app, uninstalling, installing the newer version and making it a sys app again. As simple as that!

TB was the first ever app i paid for. Pro version was not even avaible through android market for my country by that time so i had to donate to his paypal account. It is one of the essential apps on android and it is the biggest reason i root my phone even tho i prefer to use stock roms.
I know there are a lot of posts on how to restore apps after flashing a new ROM. I have only done this twice so far and both times I used Titanium Pro to restore the apps and data. However each time I have had a number of apps that didn't work or didn't work correctly until I uninstalled and then reinstalled them. If I let the Play Store reinstall my apps (and side load the ones not in the store) I shouldn't have this problem. I was wondering if anyone could comment on how long that approach would take and what issues I may run into doing it that way. I don't really need to reinstall the data for many apps and I have those settings, etc. (like Nova Launcher and Elixir) backed up where the program can reload them after I install it.
Thanks for any experiences you can share and any advice you can provide.

Try gobackup not the pro version, just the free one before it was tooken down from the play store. I believe you can Google search the apk.

It can be pretty quick or it can take seemingly forever depending on the number of apps you have. I have a little 130 and it takes about 2 hours, on a constant 12mbps (1.3-6MBps) connection.
I had a problem when I first used Tibu with Maildroid being crazy as hell until I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and set it back up. I was also having the same problem when I restored a CWM backup. I went and deleted every backup I had made in Tibu and all my nandroids and tried backing the apps up again and it worked for about 3 flashes and then Maildroid was going crazy again. I finally just Odin'ed back to stock cause I was having a few other issues, GPS & NFC, and once I went back to stock VRALG7 and fully wiped everything and rerooted, flashed recovery, and unlocked I haven't had a problem with anything since. The only thing I have changed is my recovery, went to TWRP, and everything is smooth sailing. I had been using CWM touch, it was the latest version that I was on before Odin'ing, and I really think there is some kind of issue with CWM not backing up right because I had tons of issues and even when restoring to the stock ROM my phone came out of the box on I couldn't get GPS or NFC to work.
But if you don't have many apps you could let the Play store restore you apps, I never used Tibu until this phone and was really skeptical of it cause of the corrupted Maildroid problems I was having but this is hands down one of the best apps I own. Also I'm pretty sure you can use ROM Manager to backup your apps and restore them.
If I were you I would wipe the Tibu backup folder, after you had completely re-downloaded and installed your apps from the market, and then back them up again and see if that worked. Also my Maps backup never ever works, I have to re-download it every time.
There is also MyBackup Pro, I used it before this phone, but its not great in the GS3. It takes about 45 minutes to back up my apps and it freezes constantly, never had this problem with it until this phone though.
You could also try using Tibu's flashable zip creator that was just added. It makes a flashable zip of you app backup folder so you still want to redo all your apps to make sure that it just isn't a once in a lifetime bug that cause a couple of your apps to be corrupted.

Best way I have found is to use AppMonster Pro.
That app allows you to make an "old style backup" which saves the APK from every app you have installed.
That way, after you flash a rom, you can click the APKs and do a true clean install of every app which is FAR more dependable than a TIBU restore. Although I have TIBU Pro, I rarely use it anymore.
Thanks everyone. All the info is much appreciated.

If you actually look in the Tibu folder it saves all of apps as APK's also and you can choose to back up your apps without the app data. The way I've always always understood it is that you can do a true clean install with Tibu too. Now I may be wrong with this but that's just the way I've understood it.

I hope you figure out how to keep the apps from becoming corrupted. If you do let us know what worked and what all you went through before the apps stopped installing corrupted.

I just use Titanium Backup.
I'm going to give TiBu a try first since I think it will be the quickest way to do this. I also did a backup using AppMonster. If I run into issues with TiBu I'll start over again and try AppMonster. All I need now is a block of time to do the update. First Thanksgiving, then taking my grandson to see the train display at the Botanical Gardens, today out with both daughters (separately) helping with their Christmas shopping and doing some of our own. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a free block of time.
I'll let everyone know how it goes. Thanks again.
I've made the switch to ROM toolbox. The free version let's me batch install apps just no data which I prefer anyways. Then I don't have to click for every app.

I finally got time to update to Clean ROM 5.0 and it went fairly well. I used TiBu but had a few apps that had to be reinstalled so I used the AppMonster backup apk's and everything went well. Restoring the data via TiBu went well for all of my apps that need it done except for Red Laser which lost all the loyalty card info. Not a big deal as its easy to rescan the cards.
Thanks again for all the advice and info.
Maybe i'm just a noob but i dont understand how these backup apps work. I've backed up my apps then rom'd my phone but can't get my apps back cause the back up app isn't there anymore... Is it in the cwm recovery ? Confused
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Depends on the backup app you use. In general, you can install the backup app from Play Store and then you should be able to use it to restore your backed up apps. If you use a backup app the saves your apps as apk files, just install them from the apk. You can also install the apps from the Play Store again like you did originally.
Hope this helps.
I have been using TiBu for a long time and it works great and saves a huge amount of time. Sometimes I also get an app acting wacky after a flash. Just use it and if you have a problem with an app just go to settings and clear data for the specific app. It will save a lot of time doing it that way!!
Is there any issues with restoring User Apps & Data that were backed up under an ICS ROM, onto a flashed JellyBean ROM? I wouldn't think so, but wanted to ask. I know system apps & data would be bad, but not sure about user apps.

I use super back up , its free and backs up apps , sms ,contacts ,call logs and calander. It also has batch install
I use titanium, have been using it for years. Restoring apps plus data can cause them to be a little screwy. I only restore data on games.

Try this. Make a Nandroid. If you're flashing a ROM that uses the same version of Android, just restore data. When flashing nightlies I learned, that all you have to do is WIPE, flash your ROM, then do an advanced restore of data only (No TiBU, you do this before you leave recovery). Now everything is there, nice and clean, homescreen, apps, setup, and even your alarm clock! Takes 5 minutes.

That works, but if you're doing that don't bother factory resetting before flashing. All you do is erase the data to put it back on

OK cool! I knew I was putting the data back on but I guess I thought I was wiping other things as well with this method.
Thanks for that!

Same here and I've never had any problems with it. I was restoring apps+data but I started having problems after I became a flashaholic so now I only restore apps and spend the extra time relogging in/setting up my apps. Yes it takes longer but it'll save you from problems in the long run.

Has anyone tried using mybackup pro yet? I flashed the Cataclysm rom and used it to restore my apps and data. I ran through this process a few times...
- The apps appear to install, but only a fraction of them do.
- When I go to the market after the restore and try to install the other apps, I get some "unknown error -110" or something of that nature (I tried clearing the cache and data of the Play Store app and couldn't get it to work again without reflashing)
- The app crashes if I try to restore the system settings causing my phone to reboot
- Doesn't seem to restore home screens at all
Just want to see if I'm the only person having this issue and if anyone knows a workaround.
Thanks.

Titanium backup just seems so much more complicated imo. The interface is just archaic looking to me. I haven't really used it much though, but usually mybackup pro works for the most part on other phones I've had.
Well, I took the plunge and tried Tibu. Worked way better. The only thing it didn't restore was my wallpaper and widgets. Everything else worked great and no problems with the market. I'm sold... already upgraded to pro.

When I do a batch restore I always go make sure to do all missing apps + user data. Brings back my wall paper, home screen and everything. Pro is awesome since it gives you the batch restore option.
