Titanium Backup and AT&T apps

If we were to delete the ATT apps with TiBackup, couldn't we sideload them back on (for god knows what reason?) ?
Yup! I did it when I thought removing an AT&T app had screwed up my WiFi, but the problem was something else, so then I took it off again (once put on manually, you can take it off again using the settings screen).
Yeah, if you can find the .apk file, then you can install it. Or if you backed them up with Titanium Backup, you can reinstall them that way.

This is not correct. Titanium backup does not backup the .apk file of system apps. However, you can find the .apk elsewhere and install with no problems.
AT&T is more than happy to provide you with their "Pay Us" apps. You can get all the AT&T apps from their website.
( i feel dirty typing "media net" )

Doesnt Titanium Backup backup the apk's and put them in a .tar.gz file?
If those arent the apk's in those .tar.gz files, whats in them? and what good are they and what good is it to backup your apps with Titanium Backup?

Flash - backup and restore but what?

Hi Guys
Everytime when I flashing my sgs I think: What should i backup? and what from this backups can i restore with the new ROM?
- I know to backup my Apps (without data) and restore this with titanium
-But what is with my Android-data folder ? I only copy and paste it with a Explorer Manager like Super Manager?
-And my google calender? (only want to backup it once before flashing)
-where do the phone saves "save-files" from games? extra folders? or in the current ROM?
- I read sometimes to make a nandroid backup in CWM. But there stands nothing with "Nandroid backup"..
Thx Guy for helping !

A Nandroid Backup is made After installing a Custom Recovery on a Rooted phone!
If you install a app called Rom Manager from the market, you can Flash a Recovery by selecting the option in the app that say "Flash Clockwork Recovery"
From there you can Create what's called a Nandroid Backup, which Will basically save your whole phone in a backup file on your Sdcard... PM me if you need more Help!
ok thx thx for answering.
and what is with a backup from my android datas ? sry iam not at home

Hacking a nandroid backup to pull app data out?

I rooted & ROM'd a friends phone last night. He asked me to try to save his Angry Birds app/data because he'd won so many levels, it would take forever to get them back.
But I forgot!
So I've got his nandroid but can't just flash it to my phone because it's got a gesture lock and I don't think you can hack those.
So is it possible to pull his Angry Birds data from the nandroid backup I took of his phone before flashing it?
Nandroid the new setup.
Restore the old one
Download titanium backup and backup all apps you want to keep along with app data
Restore nandroid back up
Download titanium backup and restore apps you backed up

I figured out how to recover the angry birds old scores data.
Just copy the nandroid to your computer desktop.
Use something to extract it (I use 7zip).
Navigate to this folder:
\data.ext4\data\data\com.rovio.angrybirds\files
Copy these two files:
/highscores.lua
/settings.lua
Then copy them to your phone.
Open root explorer and navigate to:
\data.ext4\data\data\com.rovio.angrybirds\files
Rename these two original files to .old for the file extension.
/highscores.lua
/settings.lua
Then move the two files you extracted earlier and paste them into this folder.
Works great.
Maybe this would help...

[Q] Need help on restoring save game file...PRO'S help me.

Hello guys...first of all, i would like to thank you for your time reading my thread and about my problem
And i am sorry if i posted this on the wrong section.
I have been searching for days and in many forums, also googled about my problem...but to no use
I hope the pro's out there can help me out.
Okay..i am playing maplestory live deluxe game from the play store.
The problem is that i want to restore a maplestory live save game file. The save game file is from another link on the internet, which someone else played and uploaded it for other people to use. I want to use it. The save game has many godly items that i need.
But i dunno how to patch the save game file to my maplestory live file, so that i can use that save game.
I use android device (samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 gt-p3100)
It has [email protected] rooted
Already install titanium backup
The person who posted the save game link said that, the save game file must be extracted and placed under sdcard/titanium backup folder on my device. Then open the titanium backup app and search for the folder...then hit restore.
The biggest problem is, my titanium backup could not detect the save game file that i got from the link.
I know the file is not corrupt cause other people who downloaded it has no problem whatsoever in restoring the file.
I already tried menu>prefrences>backup folder location>detect>whole device on my TB, but it says "no backup location was found"
The save game file is there under sdcard/titanium backup. I can see it clearly...but for some reason TB cannot detect it under the backup/restore tab.
I have also tried reboot to recovery and fix permission...but the problem persist.
Do help me...and thank you in advance
Anyone??...help..
I'm not sure but what i think is u already have a backup in ur titanium backup so it wont show to restore data from the new saved file.
So try this
1. Take a backup of tb folder (in case u mess up)
2. Except the apk file in tb folder in sd card delete other 2 files.
3. Then try the same procedure as above (i.e. copy the data to tb folder again....and so on)

Sorry..but i don't get what u are saying.
Delete other 2 files? Which file?
There are 3 files on your tb folder
1. Apk
2. Tar.gz (data)
3. Properties file (all compressed)
U have to delete the tar.gz (the data file) in ur tb folder and then put the new data file in that folder and try restore again.

Negative...does not work for me.
Okay...its my first time using TB..
I think the main problem is that i dunno how to access folder or file from TB.
Whenever i hit the Backup/Restore in TB it only opens a list of app that says "Ordered by app name (click to change)"
The list of app name is very long and have 3 colours : red, green and white.
Well i know the red coloured is the OS Kernel and can malfunction your device if u delete or wipe it.
But i do not see any file or folder to access from there (Backup/Restore)
So, how do i backup or restore any file or folder if it isn't there..?
For example, u said to backup my tb folder...i know that the tb folder is under sdcard/titanium backup..
But i don't see it in the Backup/Restore in TB. Is there something i'm missing here?

I didnt mean backup/restore tab ... what i said was just copy your tb folder from sd card to pc in case u mess and can restore easily.
And can u just send me the file so that i can check on my side if it works.
Ok..i dunno how to put the file in this post.
But u can get the file here.. http://www.mediafire.com/?g9pvpg26gqtfg
Its a list of save game that this person uploaded and share with other people to use
I need the maplestorylvdelx.zip file and having trouble with it.
Like i said..when i extract it and put it under sdcard/titanium backup...TB just not detecting it.
When i hit Backup/Restore in TB and click on Maplestory icon to restore data...there is no restore option...only backup option.

Well the problem at last .... its not a tb backup file..
If u wanna see how does a tb saved game file actually look like, download a7 (i.e. asphalt 7 game file) from the same link u gave me and open the zip.
Those are the tb files needed to restore game data using tb software like i told u previously (tar.gz and properties file).
Now for your solution
As your file is simple save game data file......
You only need to copy the downloaded file (i.e. maplestory.zip) to root/data/data
And start the game and u will get the saved data.
Hit thanks if i helped you

Okay...first of all, thank you for your patience with me.
Now i finally know the difference between a TB save file and a normal save game data.
Just one last noob question...
U said to extract the maplestory.zip then put it under root/data/data right?
Errr...where do i find the root/data/data folder?....lol
When i open My Files under storage>sdcard , there is no root or root/data/data folder..
But, i do have ES File Explorer and ASTRO File Manager app..
When i use both this app to look in my device...there is also no root/data/data folder... BUT there is a folder named root that is located under device...along with other folders (acct, cache, config, d and so on)
Is that the folder u are mentioning? But the root folder is empty.
And exactly what do i see in this root/data/data folder anyway?
Is it empty or have something in it?

Use root explorer ...... the first screen it shows after start is the root folder now
Scroll down and find the data
Then open that and u ll see another data folder
Open it and paste ur file in that folder.
