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
I backuped the AB with titanium backup and when i changed the Rom (miui->kor) and restored it i had my all achievements.

Thanks, trying now!!!!!!.
in Titanium backup do I tap AB then backup and thats it?
I've backuped all my apps, then after changing to kor i tapped the AB to be restored
ok i just restored with option app+data and all working fine. Thanks
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.

1. Use Titanium Backup->Batch->Backup user apps
2. Download backed up apks into your PC:
>mkdir c:\TitaniumBackup
>adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup c:\TitaniumBackup
3. Install new ROM which will wipe your user apks.
4. Decompress your apks using 1 of following:
>lzop -x *.apk.lzop
or
>gunzip *.apk.gz
5. Install your apks:
>for %F in (*.apk) DO adb install %F
6. Restore your apps settings using Titanium Backup->Batch->Restore user apps (data only)
Voila!
Nice find man. No more tedious one by one installations.
Thanks!

Assuming TiBu is titanium backup pro... Then this method would be free. If it isnt, sorry for the mistake
TibuPro differences
1. Sugar free - zero added calories.
2. You get extra backup of your apks on your PC.

with TiBuPro:
1- before I wipe my phone, I backup my apps and then move the "titaniumbackup" folder from my sdcard to my PC.
2- wipe the phone/install new ROM.
3- Copy (not move) the folder back onto my sdcard and restore
Now you have a copy of the backups on the PC and your phone. Just as easy and no need for uncompressing anything.
Don't forget about Dropbox sync within TiBu Pro. Most people overlook this feature.

Recently updated TB from the market. I can't seem to find the data only restore option.
I did make a small .sh script to run in terminal emulator if you want me to post it (no need for computer/adb).

Or (if linux or macosx with bash3):
$ for apk in *apk; do adb install $apk; done
or, to combine a temporary unzip with installation:
$ for apkgz in *apk.gz; do apk=${apkgz%%.gz}; gzip -dc $apkgz > $apk; adb install $apk; rm $apk; done
I've since bought TiBu for the automatic batch restore, so I don't need to use this workaround anymore.

That's because the data-only restore option isn't a stand-alone entry in the batch restore menu. Instead, you'll find the "Data only" radiobox option on the next screen only after choosing "Restore all apps with data".
Thanks for Linux/MacOSX script
Nice touch!
The reason for me posting this without many details or screenshots is that knowing how to run "adb" assumes many things ;-)
U r welcome to post any extra scripts, info etc here.
I don't know about you, but I was sick of that.
I flash new ROMs a few times a day on my phone, losing my /data/app apps some times a day.
So I made a flashable zip that solves this problem.
This ZIP is ONLY for pushing apps into /data/app!
Right, there are a few things you need:
- The flashable zip, download it below
- Root Explorer
- WinZip
Do the following:
- Using Root Explorer, copy the apps installed in /data/app to /sdcard
- They will have names like com.***.***-1, leave them like that. DO NOT RENAME!
- Connect your phone through USB to your PC
- Copy the apps from /sdcard to your pc
- Unzip 'data_app_install.zip' and put the apps into /data/app
- Select '/META-INF' and '/data', rightclick, 'Add to archive'
- Choose .ZIP as type
- Let it zip
- Copy the new .ZIP file to your external SD
- Flash a new ROM
- Flash the new .ZIP file containing your /data/app apps
- Reboot and enjoy!

Does it keep also all the settings in the apps?
When the app settings are saved in the app itself, then yes.
When the app settings are saved somewhere else (meaning NOT in /data/app), then no.
Does that mean it should also be possible to exchange the data folder in a ROM zip and flash it directly with it?
When you know how to edit the updater-script so that it adds the /data folder to your phone aswell, then, yeah, it's possible.
I haven't found the mounting command for /data tho so I can't help you there.

My backup root sukcs, it did not recover any settings for me. Titanium backup is nice, but it takes too long to get the apps one by one.

I can explain that one for you.. You came from a stock MRXX rom, flashed a CM7 nightlies and lost your backed up data.. Because MyBackup uses 1st sd partition on stock rom, and sd-ext/mnt on CM7.. Your backup is still there after flash, you just need to move it from sd to sd-ext..

Get titanium backup pro. It has a batch restore feature. I use all the time and am very happy with it. Now I'm flash-frenzy
This is so annoying,
I have tried everything I could find online,
I removed the SD card to eliminate that as an option related to a corrupt image/ card.
I cleared Gallery the data under manage applications.
With ES file explorer
I deleted the com.cooliris.media folder multiple times
I renamed all dirs to hide them from the Gallery indexing.
Example renamed “DCIM” to ”.DCIM”
I opened and examined the file chunk_0 in
/com.cooliris.media/cache/local-album-cache
I was hoping i could see how far or were it crashed by the last dir it indexed.
After hiding all the dirs. I got it to this.
Data in “chunk_0(this file will grow as dirs are scanned and files are found)” opened in a hex editor.
..US..en............./...........4.......4...........b..intro..video/mp4.......................4.........O.{.....O.u...w..............:.............../
Not sure if this is a hit on what is crashing the gallery?
I'm guessing a factory reset didn't work either?
Have not done that, dont want to reconfigure the phone from scratch.
I always like to know the root of the real issue. seems kind of common.
I never use Gallery. Ever. So I wouldn't have an exact idea why it was going crazy.
Are you rooted and do you have Titanium Backup Free/Pro?
If so, back up the gallery app. Then delete it from the /system.
Restart your phone and restore the Gallery app and make it a system app again.
its rooted and i have Titanium Backup Pro.
i did not know you can delete the gallary.
I did download another gallery like app for now.
but i may give that a try.
Yeah. Wipe the data first then uninstall it.
i made the back up of the gallery, uninstalled it, when i try to recover/install it from the back up the phone stays in an install loop.
I have to reboot the phone.
now i deleted it how do i reinstall it?
I have gallery apk from the backup and the original is still under /system/app/com.cooliris.media.apk
when run the apk i get an error, application not installed.
I tried to use adb with no luck.
F:\~droid\root backup restore files\SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse\ADB>adb instal
l gal.apk
993 KB/s (458660 bytes in 0.451s)

any pointers?
Follow the exact steps.
Open Titanium Backup
Wipe Gallery data (From Titanium Backup)
Uninstall Gallery (From Titanium Backup)
Restart phone
Restore App of Gallery (From Titanium Backup)
Restart phone
Try using gallery
I don’t think titanium is an option now.
as it never finishes installing. i let it go all night.
The Gallery has been deleted and i only have the option to restore. My only options are to restore App only or App+Data. both don’t finish.
so i have been reading you can force/push installs. i must be doing something wrong as it seems a restriction is preventing the other install methods,
at this point the only reason i care is i cant view images in 3d.

maybe it not 100% uninstalled? could have been an issue with how Titanium removed it.
if the os thinks its still there it wont install over it.
crap i created file called "\" now they systems treats it like a dir. i cant delete it
this is how i created it...fat fingered
F:\~droid\root backup restore files\SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse\ADB>adb push c
om.cooliris.media.apk /system/app/\
ES file Explorer shows it as a 447.91kb file the same size as the com.cooliris.media.apk file...
if select delete in ES i starts to tally the root dir as if it will delete everything under "system"
I guess it can stay ....
I am still trying to get com.cooliris.media.apk to reinstall. will i see any installing action once i reboot the phone after pushing it?
I dont see any sign of it installing other than it appearing in the apps dir.
how does push really work should the Os install any apk in the app dir if missing?
No you won't. Do you have root explorer?
no,
does ES file Exploer work the same way?
I've never used it. Does ES File Explorer have root permissions?
this is just getting a annoying if the app is under /system/app
more or less thats it right? what would stop it from being seen by the phone...
been messing with the thing for hours.
then its crap i cant restore the gallery backup i made with out titanium get stuck...

yes i can hit any dir like system, and it can change all attributes.
I have been using it now to move files from my pc over the wifi and network shares.
I can have app.apk on my pc see it on the network with ES, and copy it to /system/app
i put a another version of gallery from another phone i found online in /system/app
after a reboot it showed up. not sure it thats a real sign as i can manual run and install it if i wish.
also this does no good in the long run as you cant view photos in 3d, as they are displayed side by side in this version of gallery.
maybe i need a fresh copy if the lg thrill gallery?
ok i found a ver of gallery from a custom cooked rom posting.
it shows up now,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309114&highlight=gallery
but it still crashes like the original one did at the start of all this lol....
atleast i can view my pictures in 3d again.
i dont know what is causing the crash, but what causes it is at the end of scanning all the images. the more picutes i have the longer it takes to crash.
if i have zero images it crash instantly.
I guess my backup of the original gallery is corrupt?
That's what it seems. Do a titanium backup of all your used apps and reflash or factory reset?

Hi,
I did backup with Titanium Backup, then I created update.zip. After wiping and installing ROM again, I also install update.zip from TB. All apps installs properly, but their data isn't recovered. Every app looses its settings.
What am I doing wrong?
maybe you need to have the right version --
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...ate-flashable-zips-of-all-your-apps-and-data/
Ran into the same problem as well, turns out you will need TB installed and granted SU permissions before flashing update.zip in recovery so that data restore will work.
1. Install custom ROM
2. Boot into android, complete setup questions
3. Install TB from Google Play
4. Open TB, grant SU
5. Boot into Recovery and flash update.zip
6. Boot into Android, TB will autostart and start restoring data.
Hope that helps!
why restoring via cwm, while u can restore from TB?

It's old, but I'm going to answer: the update.zip file generated with titanium backup may have a lot of apps and you can flash the zip file and the will all install at once. Otherwise, if you just boot the device and run TB app, it will ask you if yoy want to install or cancell befor installing, and after, it will let you choose between open new app or job done.
Then if you have like 35 apps to restore, you're like: install - done- install- done - install - done- install- done.............. like crazy.... zip file is just 1 for all and it's done
NOTE: restoring with update.zip is giving me a hard time with a few apps like whatsapp, waze and nikon wifi. You should have the regular TB backup in your sd just in case if you're wiping/flashing a rom.

If it would work right, it's way faster, just try next time you wipe your phone.
The problem is that not all apps work properly this way. But via recovery it's just too fast, yet not recommended as the only backup as you might have to uninstall and restore a few apps that don't work right (force close)
It wold be nice to have all methods available working ok, but there's no doubt that the the app works better.
Just learned from experience. Many apps force closed when using update.zip. I'll stick with using TB app despite it taking longer
I can't restore my backup from april. Is it because of a new version? That would help me a lot guys I lost all my contact numbers....but I still have all my backups but titanium backup can't open it...

Great guide!
Does TitaniumBackups restores data as well? When I tried to restore, "apps+data" it shows, ""E: Failed to sysmapfile". Does that means TiBackups can ONLY restore apps?

I had same error when trying to apply the update.zip from Titanium backup via TWRP. In my situation the reason was that TWRP seems to have a limit of max. 2GB for an update.zip, as found somewhere in a discussion at XDA.

Yeah, that's what I though. Mine update.zip was 5.4GB. Shoot, that's whole lotta apps+data. Oh haha, looks like TRWP was freakin out and gave up. :laugh:
So.. what do you do if the update.zip > 2 GB? Googling led me to this post, but I'm looking for an answer. I have a 2.6 GB update.zip file and TWRP just gives an 'Error 3' when I try to install it.

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.
