Since rooting my xoom will erase everything, is there anyway to back up game save info, for instance gun bros data?

There are data save apps for specific games...have you checked?
But this is a really good reason to root...great ability to backup your data.
Titanium Backup saved my game data perfectly. Just backup the specific apps or choose user apps backup and choose to recover the ones you need.
Backup worked well for Spider Man and Alchemy.
Any system apps recovered onto a new rom or version tend to screw up.

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

Titanium back up saves your apps and data so when u restore it it restores both app and data so u will be fine. Won't need to start over.

I installed and downloaded all the data of shadow gun game, and then i changed rom.. before flashing the new rom i did a backup of all my apps with titanium backup including shadow gun, but after flashing and restoring all my apps when i opened the game it said that i had to download all the data again :S i thought that titanium would make a backup of that and that i dont needed to download that again.. any help or solution?
Did you go back into tibu again and restore that app a second time? It will ask app data or both. Try data. If no use it to uninstall and reinstall

If you have cwm, make a nandroid backup of your data and after you flash a new ROM, restore that data through cwm, and presto you'll be back to playing shadowgun without having to re-download the game data.

but making a nandroid backup would restore the previous rom i had or not?
I have the same issue with Titanium backup.
My resolution is to restore the file SaveGameSinglePlayer0 into path "Android\data\com.incross.shadowgun.eng\files".
That file was extracted from a copy of the internal SD on my PC, Titanium doesn't bakup it.
Those games that require you to install the app, and then they require you to download like 200-800MB more data over your wireless.
Is there any way to back up that 200-800MB additional data?
Titanium backup doesn't seem to do it.
So every time I flash a new ROM & restore my apps, I have to re-download that data all over again.
Any suggestions?
Majority of that saves to your SD card under android/data/[your app here]/

Hi, I've been using MIUI 2.8.10 for months now but have finally decided to scrap it. It's extremely RAM hungry and the keyboard only recognizes about ten words in the English dictionary for some reason, so auto-correct is essentially non-existent. I'm quite surprised I've actually had the patience to keep up with it for so long; I suppose simply because it's so elegant.
But that's besides the point. I want to swap ROMs, probably to CyanogenMod or some other Jellybean ROM. Is it possible to do this without wiping the Data on my phone? Primarily my installed applications; I don't really care if my texts are lost or anything like that. I have heard of Carbon but I'm not sure if I can use that application to safely keep my applications when swapping ROMs. Nor do I know if it's even possible in the first place. I know you can temporarily swap ROMs by making a backup and later retrieving it, but I want to permanently drop MIUI, so that's out of the question.
TL;DR: Can I change ROMs an keep my installed applications and all the data on them? If so, how?
Thanks a lot in advance.
To avoid force-closes caused by data lingering from another build, the only proper way is to wipe both data and caches. Use titanium backup to save txts and applications. You can try to restore data for your apps as well but some might force close on a new rom. I'd restore data for all user-apps (games, audio/video players) then only wipe data/cache for apps that don't play nice with your new rom. In the end, you might not lose anything. Just don't restore data for ANYTHING system related, or you'll have problems. Time consuming, but it's worth it if you don't want to lose anything. Good luck.
Also, MIUI is the only rom I used on both my Droid x and Galaxy S2. Sadly your right, MIUI is very ram-hungry. I'd use it on my N7 if there was a proper tablet build though.

So you're saying if I were to install Titanium Backup I can trade ROMs without loosing App data? Save for the ones that don't fail, of course.
But... if Titanium Backup itself is an App, how does it protect itself from not being wiped? I know that's not really related to the thread but I've always wondered.
Despite, thanks for the reply.
Install TB now. Backup all user-apps+data. Make a nandroid backup. Once you wipe and install the new rom, download titanium backup from the play store again. All your backups are stored on the SD card under /???/titanium backup/. You'll only lose the backup folder containing your apps/data if you format your card or use a developers-tool which also completely wipes phones and cards with the goal of giving you a truly clean slate to flash a rom. Just read the recommend procedure for installing a specific rom. If only a data/cache wipe are needed, then your SD card *should* be safe. Install rom > install TB > Restore user-apps+data. Enjoy.

It gets wiped, but the folder in your SD card with all the backups stay, unless you format/wipe the card itself.

Just thought of something. It sounds like your app data is very important. Do this:
Install TB
Backup user-apps+data.... and txt messages and call logs if you want.
Connect to PC and transfer the whole TB folder for safe keeping.
Now you have a backup of your backups

If your user apps and data are more important than your system settings, Titanium backup is for you.
The bugs I encountered were only with the settings and system apps.
Would it be possible to change ROM without rooting the phone? For instance, I can use TWRP to take a backup of data partition, install new rom, do full swipe, and then restore the data partition.
Would it work?
Thanks
Im using an unofficial Resurrection Remix for J3 and the phone can barely boot up at times, I wanna change it to LOS 13 or back to Touchwiz, Ill try the TB but if the phone cant boot, then what?
