I believe everyone here skillfull enough doing updating ROM on their O3D. Now I'm still wonder how do you all properly update ROM + maintain your old data(SMS,MMS,Installed Application,Notes, Calendar etc)
I had patched most of my gameloft game to external SD. Some of them non-gameloft as PES 2012. I can backup that gamedata too. Don't know about the savegame though. Update process will require you to wipe all data. Now if I had update rom, then restore application, what happen to my save game? I hate to re-play the game from the start again.
I found some application (mybackup pro,titanium backup). Will that backup everything up?
I want all applications+data for sms,mms,calendar,savegame etc from my previous ROM available in a new ROM(ThiaiO3D, Acura etc). Can that be done?
Thanks.

By the way, you should post such questions in general forum.
Yes, especially Titanium Backup can backup anything you desire... Give it a try.
I use AppExtractor.
It takes me 5 minutes to have back all my settings, sms, apps + config.
Thanks for your advice. How about savegame? Will it also included in the backup? I'm afraid it will be much complicated than sms,app& setting backup. Let's say gameloft games. Where is the savegame being stored?
yup, gamedata too.
I have purchased Titanium from the market. Its really worth it! Saved me a few times.
It will even let you install back to Internal SD, External SD, anywhere really (original location of apps/games).
Its also fast and does batch process so there are no prompts or anything when backing up and restoring.
I recently flashed a new rom (the last time I did this was almost 2 years ago so I forgot what to do). Titanium backup has been doing weekly updates for a long time. So when I started up the phone titanium backup is gone, I read that I must redownload from the play store, but when I run it, it says I failed to acquire root privileges. It tells me to get busy box, so I download that too, but that won't install properly.
What should I do now? Have I lost root? The bootloader is available...that means it's still rooted right? The internal sd card still shows my folder of titanium backup and all the other root folders I used to have on my phone, I just can't get titanium backup to run so i can't restore.
Thanks!

If you flash a new rom root is lost.
You have to root again.
S.R.
A few of the JB ROMS were causing issues with root. The fix was to re-flash the SU (superuser) apk and that would fix things right up. You should be able to find it doing a search.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Lets start with a few basic questions... dont mean to offend you, just wanna make sure its not something you may have overlooked.
What rom did you flash?
What, if anything, did you wioe in recovery?
Did you get a superuser or supersu prompt when titanium started?

Not necessarily so. Most custom roms are pre-rooted by the dev. Ive flashed countless roms and until recently w/ jb not had any issues w/ root access.

seems you've just lost root privileges,
just flash supeuser again and you will be fine...

it pretty much looks like this in TitBack, give or take a few letters: "[SMS/MMS/APN] Phone/Messaging...". when you tap on it, the pop-up recognizes it as "Phone/Messaging Storage". this is where your text messages are.
some 3rd-party MMS apps like GoSMS Pro can back up your messages too, and I believe there's also an app or two solely for backing up your messages to your sdcard/internal storage.
Titanium Batch restore fail
Hi all
Having a few problems, I'm new to flashing roms and the use of Titanium Backup and I've just flashed my second ROM. I've gone from CM9 to CM10. Before doing so I created a backup of apps + data.
I flashed the ROM fine, and ran the batch restore function in Titanium. I have all the icons on my homescreen from the previously installed apps but after clicking on them my phone tells me that app isn't installed. I then notice that my notification from Titanium's batch restore shows the apps I had downloaded from the play store failed to restore (the notification said that the elements failed after batch restore was complete).
I noticed that these apps have a line through them when the list of apps I want to restore appears.
Titanium then advised me that the apps did not restore as the Android ID had changed, So I then reverted to the previous android ID thinking this to be the solution. However, after running the restore function again, the same amount of elements failed to restore.
Due to my lack of knowledge in Titanium and my need for these apps, I turned to the play store and decided to manually redownload all the apps again. This does not work either! The error message I get is the apps cannot be downloaded due to an error (491). I guess this is to do with the android ID changing?
Please help, how can I get these apps to restore? and also how can I be able to download apps from the play store again? :crying:
EDIT: So I was able to reinstall the apps from the play store by wiping the dalvik + cache.
This still leaves me baffled as to why Titanium wasn't able to do this

Did you try to restore system apps? I always use tb w/ the pro key to restore user apps + data, and have been getting the changed android id lately, but whether I keep the new id or revert to the old one, my restore works. Depending on what ROM I'm going to or from, sometimes I have to change my home screen shortcuts for system apps.

I didn't select restore system apps, instead I selected restore all apps with data, failing that I tried restore missing apps + all system data.
What option should I normally be selecting to do a straight restore after flashing a ROM? Does the fact that there is a line through the apps that I'm trying to restore mean anything?
I always select "restore missing apps + data" it's the 1st option under restore in the batch menu. The apps with a line through them are the ones that tb recognizes as being backed up but not installed.

i had eos on my xoom and each time i flash rom the apps automaticaly instaled again from the play store.
when i flashed the cm10 this is stoped. why? should i enable something to read my apps from the playstore /xoom device?
i have a samsung s2 too and this works no mater what rom i will flash.can someone helps?
i tried to manualy install 200+ aps but it is very dificult even with titanium backup. i select all aps at the backup but after each app is installed it asks me comfirmation for the next and so on. i am not familiar with the titanium also . am i missing something? i have the free version . is this the reason that it asks me confirmation on each app?
thanks
Yes, in order to install all apps from titanium backup without confirmation each time...you gotta get the paid version.
Guys, I would absolutely appreciate some help in working something out. I'm trying to restore both Need for Speed Most Wanted and Plants Vs. Zombies on CM 10.2 but it's just not working out. In the case of PVZ I had made all my progress on a 4.2.2 rom and then attempted to restore it with TiBu but after it's done if you tap the icon it opens but then immediately force closes. The same happens with NFS:MW with the difference being that I had made all my progress while on CM 10.2. I flashed a new CM 10.2 nightly, restored both apps, and both will open for a second then close. If I download both apps fresh from the playstore they boot up fine. I tried downloading the apps from the playstore then restoring just data but I get the same thing. I know the issue must have something to do with EAs DRM scheme but I don't know how to get around it. I managed to restore my data on NFS:MW with an altered .apk I found but I don't want to have to pirate games that I legitimately bought. FYI I went back to CM 10.1 to see if the games would restore completely and they do. I don't know what else to try, please help!
Hello, I am having the same issue. I think that it has to do with our android device ID's. Every time you wipe and flash a new rom, you are assigned a new id. Which would make sense because you say you can restore fine from your backup... This is because your backup is restoring your old android device id. I remember seeing an option somewhere in tb to restore previous android device id. This may be the solution. I hope it works, I am not willing to start nfs over again. Already have once. Good luck!
Hi Everybody
I got nexus 4 i am quite new to android.
I usually install new ROMs on my phone just to explore about their features.
Actually when ever i install a new rom i have to do wipe all data or factory reset if i don't do that i start getting weird errors like android.media.process stopped etc so to make sure new ROM works fine i always wipe all data and all apps that i installed are gone.
I am looking for a way to so that i can save all the apps on my phone into one backup file and then when i install new ROMi just recover from that apps backup so i don't have to download them all again.
Does anyone know a best way to do that.
Best Regards
Ranjeet
