Recently I wiped my phone and put a rooted stock rom on my Tbolt. Before I did this, I wanted to make sure everything was backed up, so I used My Backup Pro (I know, I know I shoulda used Titanium Backup). I backed up all of my apps (apk's) and the data files for each app and saved it locally on my sd card. Now when I go to restore that backup, all of my apps show up and everything but when I try to open games that I've worked really hard on like Cut the Rope and Muffin Knight, it just crashes and I have to force close. Apps like Facebook maintained my login information so I know it worked to some extent. Is there any way to fix this or is it just all a lost cause? Thanks
Same issue I had. Moved to titanium since then.

Try running fix permissions through Rom manager and restart. My k9 backup was acting weird after a restore from mybackup root and that fixed it

Sounds like you have a superuser issue which might be causing the backups not to work right.
Try reinstalling Superuser and updating the binary

Also, dowlnload root checker app and make sure your root is working right.
Make sure you have busybox installed and in the mybackup options, make sure use busybox is checked

Hopefully it works. I actually use my backup because I always had the same problem with titanium... Could never get it to restore data without fcs. My backup has worked flawlessly for me with the one time exception of k9 and the fix permissions took care of that

Hey brothas I'm kind of still learning about the capabilities of our smartphones as far as performance goes but I am really curious as to why whenever your downloading an app or anything
The phone runs so crappy and becomes very unresponsive and slow...I've never seen this happen on my mytouch 4g or even my g1...but whatever its downloading, it downloads it super fast but I just don't understand this phone has a dual core processor you would think it would be able to download anything and still run smooth...I dunno guys I am just curious if anyone knows why or even has a fix...its like this for me on all roms and kernels..my thought is when your downloading something the CPU focuses all its power on that download therefore everything else is slow..but I dunno like I said I am kind of a noob and always looking to learn...appreciate some input..thanks brothas
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I was actually wondering about this myself. I get that slowdown too, and especially as it's installing the app or whatever it is I've downloaded.
Doesn't bother me TOO much, I just kind of chill out, while it installs... But a curiosity none-the-less.
Haven't noticed any slowdown while dl'ing. Just dl'ed a 3meg kernel in like 5 seconds.

I can confirm this. I think the main issue is, is that we are using software that was never intended for a dual core processor so the end result is random reboots, lag when downloading apps, etc. Even the Sensation which has a dual core processor has its share of software glitches/issues. Let's hope that when Ice Cream Sandwich (Google's next update with dual core processor support) comes out that we'll either automatically get the update from LG/T-Mobile or LG/Nvidia will release the necessary drivers and/or files to the XDA community.

Sorry for the misunderstanding the phone is fine when downloading, but whenever its doing an install for whatever reason it gets unresponsive or extremely laggy for a short second. Try downloading something from the market and then when it starts to install browse the web and see what it does. This is definitely not a major or a minor issue for me since it does this for only a quick second.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Ok, so if you go to market and then go to myapps...and there's like 12 things that need to be updated...and you start clicking one by one, update, ok, update, ok, etc...you never feel any hiccup of lag when it's at the install phase of any of those?
I feel this all of the time. Especially when I use CM's market apps installer that defaults after installing a new nightly...when I have almost all of them checkmarked, then it takes me to the market page for each one of them individually. And it has nothing at all to do with internet connection or speed, because it's the same whether I'm using my 6MBps 4g, or my 36MBps wifi at home. Sometimes, the hiccup will even make me click the wrong button by accident.
my pc,6 core amd, 6 gigs ram, sometimes becomes sluggish while installing graphic card drivers etc. i wouldn't put too much thought into it. it usually takes about 5 seconds to install an app.

Yeah, I agree this isn't much of a big deal at least to me. I can live with it. I was just agreeing with the OP since I also noticed the short bit of lag.

Its not the download that causes the phone to be slow. When you're installing an app, the processor is being used and it will slow down the phone, especially when you're updating/installing multiple apps. My g1, droid, captivate, and g2x have done this. My ipod touch did it too.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I find that this only happens when installing an app from the google market. When installing apk's from any other source it seems to be fine.
Also as a note, after updating to the new google app i have noticed that it doesnt slow down anymore. It might be me, but i think its just the old market app.
I got this slow down on every Android phone I've owned except my Sensation. Maybe Gingerbread fixed it?

Your welcome and check out the link below. Even Qualcomm, the company who has designed processor chips for phones such as the myTouch 4g, HTC Sensation, Evo 3d etc. also agrees with my statement about the software not being supported for dual core processors. That's why some of you may have noticed that your previous 1ghz single core phone was either just as fast as these dual core phones or even faster in day to day use. For instance my myTouch 4g (when rooted with Faux Aosp build clocked at stock 1ghz) and Stock Nexus felt just as fast as the G2x when opening and closing apps and even scrolling through the browser (the myTouch 4g scrolled through the browser just as smooth as the G2x, but the Nexus S did not).

This is similar to "how do I download more RAM"?
What you have to do is delete system32 on your computer. It will unlock the RAM on your phone if they are both connected to your router.

Thats weird. I just downloaded the free version on the market and Im gettin the same thing. Its not recognizing the 2nd core at all. I went to phone info in system tuner's settings and its not showing either. It must be some glitch in the latest version of the app because I used to have that app about 1-2 months ago and it showed 2 running cores. But when I go to CPU Master Pro and my phones main settings about phone info it shows 2 cores. After I rebooted, of course. Before I rebooted though in CPU Master Pro it only showed 1 core, so for sure the apps messed up.
This should help http://www.tested.com/news/dual-core-vs-single-core-arm-what-does-an-extra-core-really-get-you/2337/
What ROM you running? Did you reboot your phone? Did you reinstall the app after you rebooted your phone? And why do you use/need System Tuner? Personally I didnt like the UI and I didnt really see the need for it. Not at all hating, just my 2 cents.
Actually...I had used system tuner on my wife's sensation when ics first leaked, the forums for her phone advised to use it to force the 2nd core online. So, early today I was bored and just thought I would install it on my g2x just to see if my second core was running, and it said it wasn't.
I am on cm7 latest Lang from baldguy or whatever.....when I enables the second core, I didn't notice any difference, so I uninstalled the app. Then posted here...lol
Thanks for the info

Ya until ICS or CM9 with the hardware acceleration, which actually utilizes both cores like it should, only when playing 3D games the dual cores makes a difference. And that's mostly using the GPU anyway.

TiBu backs up my data perfectly fine for all my games (i.e. saved checkpoints, progress, local high scores). Are you sure you're restoring everything properly? I'm not talking down I'm just saying from time to time I don't restore app+data. Every now and then too I need to restore data only after a restore because the data doesn't stick..what games are trying to restore?

cool story? tell it again? You don't like to read the thread do you? lolol, OP is having a terrible time with TiBu, I agree though TiBu is the best way to go.
I tried to mess around with other back up apps and nothing seemed to be as user friendly and efficient as TiBu...I got a feeling its got more to do with the game then it does TiBu..sorry mate! Hopefully someone who plays the game can help ya out here!
I happened to have an issue with Titanium also. Was bothered that it did not restore apps to the sd card that were backed up from the sd card. It was brought to my attention that there was a setting in the preferences to do so. I also noticed many other new settings that were not there on a previous release when I looked last. There are a few about backing up app cache and external data that is not checked by default. Take a look in the preferences and there might be a setting to get your games fully backed up.
I'd hate to revive an old thread, but I'm having small problems with TiBu... It restores all save data, except for the online ID.
Do you have the newest version of TB?
I'd recommend you try restoring the app and then the data separately. That seems to work for me if the usual doesn't quite do the trick

I have no idea if something is wrong with your phone.
But.. you can always try to do a factory reset. It´s a good start and then check if there is an update to your phone.
Dont forget to back up your stuff.

But ohhoho a phone isnt a PC it doesn't have a bios that would recognise the ram first of all or that its even gone. All the parts on the phone work in harmoney and when something internal breaks the whole phone does. And the ram is built into the motherboard so that would mean you have a broke motherboard. Do you really think the phone will function then? Please try to use a little sense lol.

I'm actually using some sense. Ram chips do go bad. If there's disk 512mb chips n one went bad then he wouldn't have 1gb ram. They go bad for many different reasons thus not affecting the motherboard. The only problem is you can't swap out ram like you can with a PC.
You say a cell phone ain't a PC but android is a form of Linux. Linux doesn't need a bios to work. Allot of devices out there run a form of Linux without a bios. Wi-Fi routers, cable boxes, ps3, blu-ray players, Nintendo Wii , etc etc.......
I've had devices where the ram has gone bad n they still worked. Just not at a 100%. I'm speaking for experience n knowledge. I'm a developer for android. I work with the ROM n kernel source code. All the devices I have worked on I haven't seen no fail safe in the android source code that will prevent the phone from booting. I have seen the code that loops at the ram n reports the ram found.
