I keep my games and such on my SD card. After flashing a new ROM, how do I get them back?
Titanium Backup Works great. You backup your apps and then restore them after an rom change. Most people here will tell you the number one app is Titanium Backup PRO.
Pretty much cant do without it if you upgrade rams.

But these apps were moved to the SD card. Isn't there some way to find them on the card?

When you factory reset, it wipes the data partition on the card as well.

Do you need to back up apps found in link2sd with titanium backup if you want to restore it after flashing a new rom?? I mean its already in the sd card so do i need to back it up? Any help would be appreciated!!
Yes, you still need to back up your apps. The files in the 2nd partition will probably get wiped if you flash your phone and the links on the internal memory will definitely get wiped.
Easy steps:
backup your apps & data with titanium
flash and install new ROM
[preferably] change setting so that all apps are installed to internal memory
install link2sd and install script. Reboot.
restore apps from Titanium. Note: if you run out of internal memory while Titanium is reinstalling all your old apps, it will proceed to install the remaining apps on your SD using a2sd.

Another reason to do it via backup is that if you're using link2sd's dalvik-cache linking, the optimized dalvik may not match the new ROM. For example, I'm not sure I would wouldn't want to take optimized dalvik generated on a JIT-enabled 2.1 and run it on a 2.2.1 system or vice versa.

What do you mean by "install script" in the 4th step ? Titanium Backup's Backup / Restore is so confusing with Link2SD
Thanks

Thanks for taking your time to reply.Cheers!!
Is there any way to keep or restore saved game date after i reset my phone.. im level 30 on the paradise island game dammit..lol but seriously
Titanium Backup. Free or Pro will work. Backup either just that app or use the Menu>Batch option to backup all your apps.
It will backup the data to your external SD, so if you wipe the external SD you will lose that data.
I suggest backing up to the external SD, copying it to your computer just in case and then doing a reset/wipe.
You can always copy it back from the computer to external SD to then use TB to restore.
Thanks dude

Also Titanium Backup will give you that choice, as well as a ton of other options, like to make a backup copy of apps and their data to the sd card. Flashed my phone and restored all my programs with saved passwords data and everything using this program. The ROM I have now automatically installs all apps to the sd card unless they are required to be on the internal mem. :)

Its something with cyanogenmod roms. I forget why it does that but I think its something with the sd cards and internal memory. Im not too sure on that

I believe it s because it mounts the sd card and internal memory backwards or slightly different Go to titanium backup and hit settings and locate the other location. Ones emmc and other is internal sdcard.

You use file browser and swap titanium file from internal to exrernal cm roms integrate a2sd i believe that's the reasoning

Hi guys, I recently just flashed CM 12.1 w/ Android 5.1.1 on my Zenfone 2.
Before doing that, I backed up my apps+data using Titanium Backup. After flashing, I transferred back the Titanium Backup folder in the internal storage where it originally was. I then re-installed Titanium Backup. Unfortunately, there's 0 apps that can be restored according to Titanium Backup. I even checked the Storage location and it even showed my backups.
Help ASAP. TIA
Install the apps before backup. It might work.

Nevermind, just found out that my backups were corrupted. Anyways, is there anyway to restore the data of the apps instead? I dont mind re-downloading the apps again as long as I can get my data back
In the titanium backup.
One off the two zips will have you apk inside. Just open the zip and install the apk

Hi there...how did you solve the problem?
I also have the same problem...I backed everything up then flashed cyanogenmod Marshmallow 6.0.1 then after flash copied all the backup folder back to internal memory so it can be seen by Titanium backup app and still doesn't work...it doesn't see anything...although it sees the location and the files under titanium backup/preferences/Backup Settings...Backup Folder Location..but in the app I cannot see any of the apps I backed up...how can I solve the problem..please help me
i think titanium needs to be updated to the latest version. the older version somehow doesn't work and don't see the backups properly (on my stock z3c pre rooted rom). after I installed the latest version, it worked like a charm
WARNING: Titanium doesn't backup the media folder for Whatsapp nor Wechat. backup the media that you want manually before flashing. the chatlogs are backed up properly

Hi Everyone
Sorry for digging up an old topic but I have a very similar situation and almost got gray hair already
Did anyone found a solution to the issue from opening post ?
Here's what I have done (and already regret it
- I was on stock 5.1.1 android for xperia z1 compact D5503
- I have installed Kingroot to remove some bloatware applications through titanium backup.
- Then I have made a backup of all applications of my interest (sms/mms, k9-mail etc.) and copied that to a folder on external sd card.
- Then I came over idea of Pre-rooted stock roms. Performed that (downgrade to 4.4.4, root, dual recovery, instal pre-rooted rom from zip).
- Installed TiBackup, copied all backups from sd to internal memory.
- Opened TiBackup - mind blown - no apps with backups.. In Preferences - Folder backups are shown.
Any ideas? Corrupted backups? That would make me very sad
Any help much appreciated.

OK,
I have solved the riddle. So easy and obvious that I didn't notice.
When I was doing all the stuff from the post above I was using sd card reader.
So to be on the safe side - i have copied all SD card content to win10 PC.
Then when I thought I was ready - copied all to 1 folder "Stuff" and then to SD card.
What I have missed was that during that process file extensions were changed. So all *.properties were now *.properties.txt and all *.bzip were *.bzip.zip and so on.
So my problem is solved. Perhaps someone else could use it too.
Best regards

thanks a lot .. that solve my problem
Yeh, SD card to the rescue!
