Hello, want to transfer my app data mostly my game info from my old droid bionic to my droid maxx.
I usually root it and use titanium backup but i upgraded to 4.4 and at least for now it seems way more advance for me to root my maxx.
everything is saved to the micro SD card, but i don't think i can just copy the information over can i?
Thank you
The Migrate function worked pretty well for my wife. Not sure if game save data transferred, but everything else certainly did (Driod X to Droid MAXX).
nope, does not transfer game data.

Hello all, I plan on buying the Charge in the near future. I've got a Vibrant with T-Mobile, and it's rooted, but I wasn't planning on rooting my Charge right away, so I was wondering what would be the best process for migrating my apps over.
Mainly I just want my Angry Birds data, because I've lost all that once before, and it's time consuming to do 3 episodes worth of levels all over again! I realize this has probably been answered elsewhere, but I did a quick search as well as trying a couple apps on the market to no avail.
If there's a thread I missed somewhere a link would be much appreciated. Always looking forward to the good advice and general helpfulness of the people of XDA!
You gotta root your Charge to migrate the app data over... the easy way. Since it doesn't take root access to write to the /data partition of your phone (at least I don't think it does..) you can always adb push the angry birds data folder from your Vibrant to your Charge but.. I'd root and just use Titanium Backup.

Well alright. I used SuperOneClick to root the vibrant, will that work with the Charge as well? Also, does the free version of Titanium work for both backup and restore, and is it just the app data, or will I have to pay the $5. Not against payingat all, just wondering.
Hi everyone.
I've poked around and I can figure out how to root without wiping, how to root ICS on a Nexus S, and how to root a Nexus S on a mac, but not all 3 together. I can technically run windows on my Mac but its slow and not the greatest experience (I had headaches using parallels for my Nokia E71). The reason I ask for a no-wipe is because I pretty much have all the settings and everything exactly as I want. If there was a way to 100% clone the memory card and internal memory I would but all I can find are programs that'll back it up once its already rooted.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Wiping isn't that bad I do it every other day. And with all the backup tool Like titanium, etc it makes it even easier.
I also rooted my nexus on a iMac. It took maybe 5 minutes.

Thanks.
For now, before I root, can I just copy over everything on my SD card to my computer, root and then overwrite the SD card with what I copied to my desktop? Eg. I have a few gameloft games that are hundreds of megabytes in size; I don't want to have this cause them to break or force a re-download.
And I'm still unsure about what's in the internal memory. I know certain things are remembered as part of the Google cloud but is everything remembered (for lack of a better term)?
You can copy the games folder to your computer. And music,etc too if you want. All Google stuff is in the cloud so you'll get that back when you sign back in to your google account during setup.

Thanks for all of the help, david & esteway.
I guess my final question is, even though I'm running ICS on a Nexus S (I9020), I'll be okay if I follow steps 1 through 5 of the first link below, and the proceed with the steps in the second link, correct?

Thanks for the vid you made, I'm not sure if there's any difference between the NS4G and the i9020 w/ ICS....
Years of being used to Nokias has made me a little more tentative before I try anything
I am switching over from my Droid X to a Verizon GS3. As it seems so far, the Verizon S3 might not have root for a while. That's all fine and dandy, but I want to be able to transfer my app data over as simply as possible. Stuff like my save data in games. Does anyone have an easy way to do this that doesn't require root?
I did however backup my apps with Titanium on my rooted Droid X, but those files won't be useful 'til Verizon's S3 gains root.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you! Google should really have an easy way to do this....
Anyone?
Bump!
I noticed when I briefly looked at the Note 10.1 that they have a flashable method to use sd card as the primary storage. Didn't see anything for the Infinity when browsing our sections and threads. Wondering if we have a flashable way to do this, a script to run, something. Thanks for looking!

Here is what is available for the Note 10.1

why would you need this?
When downgrading / performing a clean install all of your internal storage gets wiped out - For example, when I applied the JB update I forgot to use OTA rootkeeper to make a backup, and hence lost root. I then downgraded to 9.4.5.30 via microSD, which wiped out everything, all data plus internal storage - and that means my Titanium Backup of all my apps and data included, including my Bard's Tale save game (and I was quite far along in the game).
If I had been able to save such data to the microSD Card it would not have mattered.
So, there is one scenario as to why you would want / need it.
I agree that backups should be on sd and I think titanium has that option.
You could also move the titanium folder to sd before wiping.
Yes, I know, I've been telling others how to get it working. Point is, though, I didn't remember to make that change initially b/c the tablet is so new to me, and I had no idea I would lose all my internal storage when I downgraded from JB to ICS.
Plus, if something were to happen and the device was not bootable, all my data stored on internal would be gone. Titanium backups are good and all, but the schedule I have set to run at 2 AM - if I did something critical that afternoon and it breaks, I've lost everything since after the scheduled backup.
It's really no different for me since I've had my BIONIC - same thing applies, but it is still a PITA to have to deal with internal storage that is potentially lost if you don't make a backup of some sort.
Also, TiBu is hanging on making a backup of my Bard's Tale app and data, to my SDCard, saying that there is not enough space - and the 16 GB card is 100% free of things except the TiBu backup of all the other apps, taking up less than 800 MB....
The main reason I want this on my Infinity is because I only have the 32gb version and this mod would allow me to use a 64gb card as internal storage. This mod allows you to have 64gb internal(by way of card) and 32gb external(by way of internal). I think this would be used by many many people, who have the 32gb Infinity, if we can get it working!!

Not getting into the dynamics but the 5 year old was upset at the 6 year and chucked his phone against the wall (prepaid Motorola from BB I picked up for $15 on sale)
I have one game I need to backup data on (hungry shark evolution) the dev have Google play games sync option but has not worked in several revisions.
I am used to root using TB
Any way to backup data without root to reinstall on another phone?
Thank you

Helium in play store works perfectly

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I do not see the point of raising another when this one almost perfectly answers my question.
I am in a similar situation, albeit hill climb racing
I want to wipe my phone and put a custom rom on it, so I don't have an old and new phone, just 1 phone that will be backed up, wiped, new rom installed, restore backup.
I have a question about Helium. The guides I have seen indicate that you need to pair both the old and new phone prior to starting the backup and restore process. Is this correct? If that is the case, then Helium would not be a solution in my case.
Could you please advise?
Guide I refer to for information:
