How to Properly Update ROM + Keep old data

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.

Hack blood and glory

How can i hack blood and glory 1.0.2 with gamecih2 please help
thanks advanced

Well I found this savegame for Blood and Glory, and hope it helps.
All you need to do is copy all three files in the "glu.BnG.zip" to the folder where you store the backup files of Titanium Backup, for example mine is sdcard/TitaniumBackup.
Then use Titanium Backup to restore the whole App and Data if you want or you can just restore the Data of the game.
Congratulation, now you are a Great Gladiator with tons of great toys (full of coins and gold)!

Yo, the TB and TB patcher links are illegal dude, its warez so it can't be on this site. Do the right thing, and properly support the titanium backup dev by purchasing the app.!

First thing first, this is not Blood and Gore [NR] version.
1. Did you copy and replace the 3 files to the folder TitaniumBackup?
2. Did you restore the whole App and Date using TitaniumBackup?
If yes and still fail then I recommend you delete your own backup files for the Blood and Glory and repeat my instruction!
Oh well, my phone is Samsung Captivate though, perhaps the game app maybe different. So try this, after copying the 3 files to the folder TitaniumBackup, try to use your Market to install or update the Blood and Glory, then use Titanium Backup to restore Data only
If all fail, I am speechless! lol

There is no hack here.. I have restored it it is in Level 2.

hey guys i have question... i installed GTA3 in my xperia go few days back n it downloaded additional data of 450mb... but when i checked in "manage applications" it only showed few MBs, means obviously rest of the data was downloaded in SD card...

You should as long as you don't delete your GTA folder as I've used this technique for let's golf 3

So it may work, I've GTA3 installed on my Optimus L7 - the game is laggy on it, so that i need to test it on funbook.

Please Help Me...
Can anyone please help me solve these problems... And I'm sorry if I had posted this question on the wrong Thread
I downloaded GTA 3 yesterday night and I started playing from today for "hours" and finally when I went to the "safe house" to save my game.. I only see a dark picture or a background of some sort.. I can't save my "game" as there is no menu or any texts... any idea why this happens?
One more thing I don't understand is that there is "no sound" in GTA 3 on my phone!! I can't delete all the additional data I downloaded earlier as I simply won't be able to download it again.. So like is there any way to download just the "audio" folder; if so then how can I do that..?
Plz PM or reply me ASAP

Try reinstalling and rebooting your phone.and for the sound problems just go to google and download the sounds.

Hi, i have purchased this Game Asphalt 7 Heat , size of game is about 1.4GB [ can see in game data thru settings->application], can any one point me if i can back it up for Rom Flash. Currently I'm on 31Aug cm10. as we all know it will be updated soon and so i will .
just wish to save some 3g data if possible.
[ No piracy in thought ]

I use my backup pro, it gave me trouble last time I used it but there has been an update for jb . Also heard app2zip is good, it make a cwm flashable backup.

Was it purchased through the play store? If yes, when you log in again it will show purchased and you can download again. But the data is gone. I have had to start games over because of that. You can also try Titanium Pro . It should store data too.

If you are just updating CM10 a wipe of cache and dalvik cache should be fine.

May be this work
Hi, this is just assumption will check in next rom flash.
the data game downloaded is in sdcard->android->obb->com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM this is folder which contain all data, to be specific in this one file is approx 1.3GB.
so to my thought i need to back up the app by any application like titanium backup or ES Explorer and copy this folder (In case i'm not going to format sdcard no need to backup)
then in next update all i need is to install the backup app (with the above folder intact ).

Working !

Football manager restore from titanium backup or nandroid backup problem

Hi All
Was wondering if anyone has suffered this issue that I been suffering recently with regards to restore football manager.
I have a rooted android phone and regularly use Titanium backup and nandroid backup to take nightly backups of my phone. I am an android developer so I am always doing testing on my main phone so for me to have a backup is important so that I can revert changes back in case I mess up my phone after meddling.
I had to do this recently and I also have FMH2016 installed but found when I restored my phone or even just the app and data itself everytime I open FMH2016 it comes up with the following message:
"Confirm Data Download
In order to run football manager mobile the game needs to fetch the latest skin data from our servers, please indicate whether you wish to include player pictures (large download) or just the basic skin data required for the game."
regardless of whichever option I choose it just keep getting download error.
"An error occurred while trying to download the data, please check your connection and indicate if you wish to try again?"
I have tried to delete the app and data and install the game from the playstore again, the download from the play store is fine however when I open the game I get the same errors as above.
I am able to extract the whole data from the game from the backups and can see that I have 2 folders. I am assuming this is the folder it creates when it does the large player pictures download.
.external.com.sigames.fmh2016
com.sigames.fmh2016
All the folders like application_support, data, save_games and user_data are all contained under .external.com.sigames.fmh2016
I have folders code_cache, files, no_backup and shared_pref under the com.sigames.fmh2016
What I have found is if I do a complete wipe of my phone (back to defaults), setup Play store and reinstall the game then it will go ahead and download the files fine. I am assuming that must still be a file on my phone which is preventing it doing the full install again once the game is installed.
Can someone advise what this could be? its driving me crazy! Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you
