Angry birds no ads

So when angry birds first came out I downloaded it from the market (they used another market, but it crashed so they went with the market)
It wasn't until I switched to a different rom that I realized that I didn't have ads on my angry birds earlier.
Luckily I made a nandroid backup, so I still have access to the files.
I tired reinstalling the same apk that I downloaded on my old rom but it gave me ads on my new one.
Any ideas on what files to switch? It would be nice to have an ad free version

I just downloaded the full version (with ads), then downloaded ad-free....no more ads, but still full version.
I should mention, however, that I will be purchasing the ad-free version when it arrives.

Restore Market Links without Ti Backup

Hey folks, I thought I'd share a nice free fix...
I recently switched to CM7 on my Sammy Fascinate, and restored my apps (and some data) using Titanium Backup Free Edition. Well, as most of you may know, this is will not create links between apps and Google Market when apps are installed using this method. I know there is a "Market Doctor" feature in the Pro version of Ti Backup, but I am cheap and stubborn! Well, it turns out that if you log into Google "Play" on a computer and do a remote app installation (pick an app that isn't already installed on your device), the link will be restored for all apps on your device! Super easy...and best of all? FREE! Enjoy

[Q] Basic Q - where are paid apps stored + backup

As a new Android user with the samsung I have just downloaded and paid for my first App from the Play Store.
How do I back it up in case I need to restore it in the future?
Where is the app stored? I downloaded Sketchbook Pro but when I look in the folder that has been created there are no files!

Uset Titanium Backup for data. Play remembers that you purchased The app, so it probably even restores itself if you eg reset your device.

No need to backup, really. Play Store will have it for you when you reset your device so you can install it again and on as many devices as you want as long as they use your email address.

If you are root. go to /system/ app/ this is where they usually are . Some apps use your personal media space to share data.. like in .. /sdcard/android/???? somtimes this is a folder called obb.. Sometimes the /sdcard could be / data/ sorry i do not yet have this tablet but looking forword to getting it . As soon as i get my refund for the two nexus 7 defective devices i sent back..

What about apps like Plague inc. which have in app purchases?

As long as you purchase from Google play and use the same email account, Google will remember the in-app purchases too. I purchased an app that had an in-app option which i also bought, installed the same app on two devices i.e.tablet and phone and had no issues including the in-app aspect.

App backup and restore works fine for me, just backing up the app but not the data.

Aside from the fact that your purchases are tied to your Google account as they said, you can use AirDroid (which is really really handy) to pull APK files from your device and make back-up copies on your PC. Just don't, you know, distribute them.

I use ES Taskmanager and ES Exlorer to backup and access my apps. It allows you to select where you want to save your backups and it gets all the apps I have tried including purchased apps like Sketchbook Pro. Then I like to copy the backed up apps and store them elsewhere for safe keeping in case for some reason that app gets dropped from where I got it or it is replaced with a version I don't like. BTW you don't need to know where the app is ES Taskmanager will find them. Note some apps when you find where they are they are listed with odd names like "vnz-1111881564.apk" for Kindle reader so knowing where they are does not really help all the time but ES Taskmanager shows the name you will recognize.

[Q] Best way to backup game saves/data?

So I have a rooted Asus Transformer (TF101), and I have several games on it that I've made quite a lot of progress in. I was wondering if there was some sort of app or something I could use to back up the save games/data across device reformats. When I went from JB 4.2 to JB 4.3, I thought I had used Titanium Backup correctly, and ended up losing nearly 2 months of progress in several games. Does anyone know if I need to have the Pro version of TB or if I just used it incorrectly? Or even another alternative?

I used Titanium backup (free) several times and never had any issue. Make sure to save apps+data and if device is rooted it should work. Some software for pc (such as Moroboro) can backup data but it don't always work, and this one is pretty invasive.

You can just backup the app data with google in sync settings

I use titanium also

Hmm... I'll have to give it another go after work and class then, and check out the google syncing, thanks for the replies.
another question, somewhat related:
Is it possible to use TB to restore saved data to a non-rooted device if I decide to switch the games to something else?
