Does anyone think this could be possible? it could be a simple frontend gui that could use adb to put it into recovery, create the backup through rom manager, then save it to your computer? then put it into restore mode to reflash the recovery that has been chosen? Just a thought, since i have no clue how to code these kinda things

Hello,
There is a way for Market to recognize the reinstalled app from a backup?
I've upgrade my dream to CM5.0.7 and reinstalled the app that i had previously backupped, but Market don't recognized the app, why?
Any idea before i re-dowloading my 100 apps....
TIA
Idk
Its to do with the markek's database file not having your apps on it.
If you didn't back it up then you have a problem.
You could try Titanium Backup, as if you have donated you get something called market doctor which might help you, I suggest you email the developer and ask if titanium backup will restore market links without the original market.db file.
Or if you have a nandroid/BART of your old ROM, then it makes things easier.
Make a new nandroid/BART (I prefer BART on Amon's 1.7.0 in terminal, by typing utility in the recovery terminal) of CM5.0.7.
Then restore the backup of your previous ROM.
Then install either Titanium Backup, or Backup For Root Users, or you could do it manually.
With Titanium Backup do a full backup including system, deselect stuff that is red, as you don't need it and it might interfere with CM5.0.7
With Backup For Root select what you need and the one that says market links, or something like that.
Or to do it manually, you will need to either use terminal or ADB to copy/pull the market database file, I don't know what file it is, but I think its
/data/data/com.android.vending/databases\assets.db
then just paste it back when you restore CM.

Is there a way to save the progress? I'm on World 5 with 3 Stars for all of them
Whenever I flash a different Rom I have to restart..... It doesn't save on memory card which is sad, so how can I backup the save file wherever its located?
I just wanted to try the new CM 6.1 RC1

It wont work if its installed from market will it?
You ment if you DL it from the market after changing ROM? I don't thinks so...
It will still work if you installed from market or not.

If you need to save/restore things manually it's not too difficult if you have some knowledge of adb and think of it before you wipe (or if you have a Nandroid backup).
Here is how I've done it before. This is from memory so please forgive if you have to think a bit to follow along. I don't think everyones setup is /data/data it might be just /data.
You can use this or similar to check the path:
adb devices (verify it sees your device and to start daemon)
adb shell
adb busybox ls /data/data/com.rovio/angrybirds/files
Before you go to the new ROM.
boot to amonra recovery
go to mount section
mount /data
mount /sdcard
connect USB cable
adb devices
adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua
adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/settings.lua
unmount /data
unmont /sdcard
Update your ROM to whatever and reinstall Angry Birds then:
boot to recovery again
mount /data
mount /sdcard
connect USB cable
adb devices
adb push highscores.lua /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/
adb push settings.lua /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/
unmount /data
unmount /sdcard
reboot
If you forgot to save before you wiped, but you have a nandroid backup you can copy the nandroid backup folder to your computer and use "unyaffs" for your computer type to unpack the data.img file. Then navigate to the folder to copy your highscores.lua and settings.lua to the folder with adb.
Here is a download link to a Windows version of unyaffs.exe that you can use in Cygwin

Yeah do all that ^
OR, you know, just use titanium backup -.-
+1 for Titanium Backup.
If you are going to be playing with your phone ALOT, flash new ROMs, and stuff like that, then invest the few dollars and get Titanium Backup.
Let's see - Titanium Backup was already suggested, so adding more posts saying use it adds zero value to the thread. If someone didn't have Titanium Backup then my information could be useful, so it does add value to the thread. Why knock it?
On the other hand, I agree completely that if you are going to play with ROM's, buy Titanium Backup - it's a big time saver.
Hi Guys!
I've just flashed my HTC One to the ViperOne ROM. And since i backed up all my apps beforehand with ADB i was wondering if i could use the backup file that i have on my PC taken with the stock ROM, on my new rom?
Cheers!
What do you mean by 'backed up using adb'? Did you copy files from your phone to your computer?

Thanks for the fast reply!
I've followed this vid through the root process where it was suggested to do a backup as seen here: http://youtu.be/qpj6dEMn9dw?t=2m45s
So i basically used ADB to backup apps settings etc and it saved a file on my comp. And i was wondering if i could use that even if made on a different ROM.
I'm out and on my phone, don't really want to watch a video to find out what command you ran. I assume it was a whole system backup like a nandroid.
Because you've now installed a different ROM, you only want to restore certain parts of your backup ie. You just want your user apps and data restored. If you restored your whole backup, you'd wipe Viper ROM and be back where you started.
Have a look at TitaniumBackup and Helium which will allow you to just backup and restore apps. I use Titanium and it has options to extract from a nandroid or adb backup.
I ran it and it seems to have worked. Still on the Viper rom atleast!
But thanks for the help!
Just read up about adb backup. Thanks, learnt something new today.
You should look at Titanium as it will give you finer grain control over restoring.
Hi, (newbie here and would appreciate if you guys explain every step, detail)
I've recently installed titanium backup (free) and nandroid on my Xperia Z1 from play store, My phone is rooted, have unlocked bootloader. Also NDR utils from dualrecovery is installed. Now im gonna install a custom rom. Before that i want to get backups both my whole system (in case of soft bricking) and my apps+data. I did titanium backup and when i searched it from "File Manager (apk)", couldn't find it. But i was able to see that backup via "Root Explorer", it was placed in "emulated/legacy/titanium backup". Same issue with nandroid too. Then i changed the backup folder of titanium backup to "internal memory/downloads". After the backup is finished, checked the folder via Root Explorer, there was no problem. But still cant see the backup on my computer or File Manager. I want to copy my backups to pc (i have sony pc companion, google usb drivers, adb drivers installed on my pc). But cant find my backups via windows explorer (im using windows 7 ultimate).
I heard using cmd can fix this.
adb pull /sdcard/titaniumbackup c:/TitaniumBackup (the code was like that)
Although i dont know how to use cmd properly and if there is another solution that i can manually select those backup files and copy paste in my documents on pc, i'd highly prefer that one.
By the way lots of files that i can see by rootexplorer, cannot be seen from my computer. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance...

The long and short -- I now find my Nexus 6 in a boot loop. The device is rooted and I was able to get a TWRP backup made and transferred to my computer.
I need to be able to restore the text messages data -- how do I do that from the TWRP backup?
I have my S6 edge that I'm using now --- and don't want to reload the N6 until I understand the best way to proceed.
Thanks for the help.

Can you get into bootloader mode? Flash TWRP, recover the image? I've just tried a TWRP image in Winrar - no luck, so I guess it's some sort of proprietary format.
You'd need to restore that backup, then use a program like SMS Backup & Restore to backup your text messages. I use this to backup the XML files to a folder on my Google Drive, so I can restore these to my phone (or another phone) as needed.

Yeah -- I thought about that -- but the problem is -- if I restore the backup, then the problem (and I do know what I did) that put me into the boot loop will return as well.
I am hoping there is a way to just restore the text data portion -- or extract it, etc.

As I stated above -- getting into boot loader is no problem / recovery as well. I made the TWRP backup after I started the boot loop. I am hoping there is a way to just restore the text data from the backup -- because if I restore the entire backup, then I'll just be back into the boot loop.

Not that I know of, those files are entire backups of /system, /data, so this guy shows you how to extract /system and /data from TWRP backups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKqYUPx4VrY
From there you'd have to figure out where the text file/db would be for SMS.
EDIT: Once you do that, this post should help you know what you are looking for.
