I'm planning to buy Desire HD and on my Desire I've almost got three stars on all the levels. Is it possible to transfer my save data to Desire HD somehow. Can anyone help please.
Im not sure. Have you tried contacting the developer?
Titanium backup, save app + data, transfer backup to new phone
From a phone
won't you need to root both old and new phone to transfer
Has anyone tried the Angry Birds Backup?
someone told me about the 'Angry Birds Backup' and 'Angry Birds Seasons Backup' today for unlock, restore and backup high scores.
No idea if this would work or not - but apparently doesn't need rooting...
The way i have done this before is to use root explorer and go to /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files and copy the highscores.lua to your sd card.
Then if you transfer this to your DHD and install angry birds
*YOU MUST PLAY THE GAME AT LEAST ONCE TO CREATE THE HIGHSCORES FILE*
Just play the first level.
Then use root explorer on your DHD to go to /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files and delete or rename the highscores file and paste in your highscores.lua file from before.
The only problem i have found is that it may force close the 1st couple of times you play and if you have not played every level then you will need to replay the last level you have finished to unlock the next level.
comments on the angry birds season backup didnt look like it worked anyway... maybe because the users had to root or it wouldnt work - but there didnt seem to be any notes to suggest that but it makes sense.
I use MyBackup to backup all my apps + data (Plus contacts, sms, mms, etc) when reinstalling roms. Should work between phones.
It's then like I've never wiped

I've purchased angry birds backup and downloaded seasons backup cos i had to make a hard reset of the phone. One word.... it works!!! You just have to pass one level to restore the save game
Sent from my HTC Desire
It definitely works. I have 3 stars on every level, and the backup restored them all. The only thing I had to redo were the golden eggs. All of them were there, but without the stars.
When I purchased it, the developer said he would be updating it to include Angry Birds Seasons... I had to wipe my phone, and I didn't realize there was a separate app, so I lost ALL of my Seasons data. Had 3 stars on all of the Halloween levels and Xmas (through day 9).
Does anyone have a save file that has all of the Halloween levels passed w/ 3 stars?

Are you rooted or unrooted?
thanks
unrooted, but I would use the Angry Birds Seasons backup to restore the save file. It worked for the original.

That might work for the same version of angrybirds, but what about for diferent versions?
I have save files from 1.4.2 and now I want to use that saves with the new 1.5.1 version but it didn't work, downloaded from android market 3 times and it said 'install failed'. I manage to get the .apk file on sdcard and tried to install but no success, it said "there's not enough space" ??? lol
So I unistall the 1.4.2 version and install the 1.5.1 and the save game/highscore didn't work. Every time I copy/move the highscores.lua the game stops working, it closes itself after loading screen. The only solution was unistall and install again starting all levels again.
EDIT: Found the solution, I didn't check file permissions, it must be 660 but it wasn't. chmod 660 highscores.lua solved the problem.
Anyone have a save file with 3 stars for all the seasons levels in the newest version. I just lost everything right after I 3 starred the game and I really dont wanna redo it all.
can some one upload or send me the angrybirds seasons 3 star compleet file for the Htc Desire Z,
[email protected]
kind regards

Has any one got a solution to why the android market will let you download some apps but not others. This problem only happens with certain apps.
Contacted one of the app developers, and he thinks there may be a problem with my data partition.
I'm on stock rom, latest froyo update, and have not rooted. thanks, in advance, for your help.
Do you get an error message?
I just get the message installation unsuccessful
Try resetting ur phone and clear cach or make a different Google account
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
region and ROM version also apply
Go to menu/settings/applications/manage applications click the all tab and scroll down to market. Clear data and cache. That should fix it.

+1 for this but if not can you list some example apps so we can see if it's just you (B. East) or not?
The apps i seem to have a problem with are, Cordy the game, storage analyzer, and gun brothers game. I some times have problems with updating from the market. I have to un-install some apps then download them again to update. this happens when the app has been moved to the sd card, but not with all the apps that I have moved to the sd card

No problems here. This is going to be something up with your phone.

Not all apps like being on the SD Card. Do all your apps specifically say they have been updated to allow them to be moved to sd card?
You may have to move them to phone if they continue to cause issues (and to be honest, with a 1GB internal memory, putting apps onto a slow sd card really isn't worth doing.

Did you try this?
If all of the above fails to work you will probably have to factory reset the phone.
I tend to download using wifi, going to try downloading over 3g and see if that makes any difference, if not, will do a factory reset. thanks for the help though.
Before you do that you still haven't said if you cleared the market cache. Did you?
yes, i done that, tried to download again and got a message, "could not install on USB storage or sd card". First time I have seen that message.
Is this whilst trying to update an app or download a new one?
If to update then move the app to the phone first.
this is trying to download a new app.
Had a quick Google and found something to try.
mount the phone so you can access the sdcard.
Set to show hidden files
Go to folder .android_secure
Delete a file in there smdl2tmp1.asec
Then try again.
thanks, I will give it a go. can I use a file explorer to do this, because am not sure how you mount the phone, I am quite new to android, use to use winmo mobiles
you can yes, my favourites are Astro, Linda and ES.
I had a look in android_secure, made sure all hidden files would be visible, and could not find any files at all. checked to make sure that the hidden file visible setting in the file explorer was switched to the correct setting, and could not see any files at all.
Have I lost some files? if i have i have no idea how. do I need to do a factory reset?

Damn. When I found that possible solution I noticed that as many people said they did have it as said they didn't. I was hoping you would be lucky.
In this case the same file (apparently this is a known bug and has been marked for next version fix) is being stored in the system directory of the phone and without root you can't get access to it.
I'm afraid the only way to clear it (without root) is a factory reset, sorry.
thanks for your help, I will factory reset and see what happens.
This application will let you backup and restore data for third party applications installed on your phone. It’ll also help you install any application from the marketplace before its data is restored, as well as side-load apps from your local computer.
Key features:
• Backup/restore third party app data.
• Install missing apps from marketplace.
• Side-load apps from a directory on your computer.

}
Requirements:
• .NET Framework 4.0
• Zune
• Windows Phone SDK 7.1
• Unlocked device
• Permission to access data of applications installed through Marketplace. (Backup/Restore of side-loaded apps will work without this).
The last requirement requires elevated privileges, some custom ROMs such as YukiXDAs ROOTED NoDo ROM and YukiXDA/xboxmod s "Back to the future" ROM (when running pre-mango) got this.
Changelog:
1.0.0.1:
* User interface
* Fixed a few issues related to Mango
1.0.0.0:
* Initial release
This app uses some "unsupported" APIs, so use it at your own risk (Its also a beta, so there might be a few bugs!).

Hi there, tried to run the backup on my HD2 running blackSideSeven v2.06.7592 Mango and I get...

I am using Win7 x86 with all the listed WP7 unlock tools etc loaded
This program is actually very useful!
So im just going to write down my experience with it which will hopefully help others, my Device is a HD2 running a Rooted Yuki ROM
First thing i did was to setup my Backup folder structure, this makes your life much easier!
i:\wp7\app (so this is where i placed the program above)
i:\wp7\backup (This is where i want the backup to go)
i:\wp7\xap (this is for any sideloaded apps i want installed automatically)
So the other day i wanted to do a backup
opened up command prompt, and navigated to my i:\wp7\app folder
I then typed in this
wp7appbackup -cmd BACKUP -location i:\wp7\backup
That copeied all the data from my installed apps in to my backup folder
I then reflashed my WP7 ROM which as you know deletes everything!
I made sure all my sideloaded apps where in the xap folder
then typed in the following in the command prompt
wp7appbackup -cmd restore -location i:\wp7\backup -sideload i:\wp7\xap -market TRUE
It tells me to unplug my phone
then asks me to run an app it just installed
Then one by one im given the chance to installed all the market place apps i used to have, no more searching!!
once done, i hit the home button, an plug the phone back in, it then goes about putting all the data back on the phone and thats it!
Phone was back to normal with all the apps and their data back where i want them!
Mighty impressed, I feel that a UI might be worth it as some folk on here might not know there way around the command prompt, but ive setup to batch files which make it a bit easier
ill post them on here but remember folks, you will need to change the loaction of you backup folder and XAP folders or they will not work.
oh apparently you cant post batch files, so ive compressed them in to a zip file, extract them to you app folder, edit them, then your ready
have fun people!
edit!
Its probably worth connecting to a WIFI network before you start, some apps need you to connect it to zune or wifi, if you reconnect mid way through restore it wont install the rest of your apps from the marketplace

Are you sure you're running the latest developer tools (WPSDK71_Beta2Refresh.zip)?

Indeed, completely remove your 7.1 SDK, then reinstall the beta 2, you may have the beta1 package which doesnt work
Hi again, upgrading the SDK and all seems ok (not tried a restore yet)
But during the backup I get a few ACCESS DENIED messages and it crashed out backing up Navigon with...
ERROR:System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'Brunnel.nfs' is denied.

You have to re-configure your permissions in order to backup or restore Marketplace apps.
Im not bothered with backing up Navigon as I can reload etc but is it possible to have a method of skipping apps or a selection list so we can just backup the apps we want?
Thanks anyway

Hi
Thanks for the bug report. I've been busy with other apps the past few days, so I haven't had the time to take a look at it yet. But its crashing while trying to remove temp files from your computer, so it shouldn't be to hard to solve .
I've been working some on an UI for the app, see the attachment for a sneak peek. Although I'll probably change the color of the background and maybe remove/change the WP7 logo. I don't want to confuse/upset anyone by making it look to much like an official app .
Thanks Ooije, I have just remembered...
Brunnel.nfs is a file I copied manually to my device (HD2 running Mango) I emailed the file to myself then used Touch Explorer to copy and paste to the Navigon folder.
I don't know if Brunnel.nfs has some weird set of file permissions because if was copied info the system via the back door.
Just seems odd the backup ran fine until if hit this file.
when i try to backup i am getting this following error
P:\Wp7\app>wp7appbackup -cmd BACKUP -location p:\wp7\backup
WP7AppBackup.exe 1.0.0.0

Looks like the folder you are trying to store the backup in (p:\wp7\backup) contains other files. Specify another path such as "p:\wp7\backup\2011-09-04" and it'll probably work .
I'm running Mango currently so I'll figure the elevated privileges part out on my own.
But will this allow me to move app data from from device to another or is is still restricted to the same device? I'm waiting for a backup solution like this.
Just to let you know I did the backup on my HD2 running Yuki Mango 7712 and I now have the Back to the future 7720 Mango and the restore worked fine.
looking at how this works I would say it does not matter which device you backup and restore to as it sends all the files directly into the isolated storage instead of a full device backup so should be fine.
I have to ask a few questions
I assume this backs up games and their save settings (save points in games), as this is the big one for me. I hate nuking a phone, redownloading/sideloading my games to have to start all over and go through 10-20 levels to get back to where I was.
1. Will this do this ?
2. Will this restore to a different phone ?
My screen is cracked, I am calling insurance on Tuesday/Wendsday. If this will backup all my apps/games/ etc and restore them to my new phone once I am on the same version of software (Currently on Mango 7720.68 and I will update my phone with the same).
Just want to know if this will help me move all my settings to a new phone.
3. When will the GUI version be out ? Looks cool so far...

Yes, most apps will work. In theory there could be a few apps which reads stuff like device ID, available RAM size and store that info in the app settings. In such cases something might not work as expected .
Do you have any apps installed from the marketplace? I haven't managed to get the elevated privileges ("root") working in Mango. So it would be great to know if anyone else succeeded .

1. As long as you have enough permissions on the phone (see my comment above).
2. See my and dr_strangetrick comments above.
3. "When its done" . I have other projects with higher priority .
Can't wait to get the GUI for this app, seems incredibly useful. It just took me over an hour to input all my TV shows for prime tv and when I flash a new (hopefully) updated ROM it'd be a huge timesaver to use your app. Thanks for all your hard work .
Hi Ooije, in preparation for my reload I uninstalled all apps that I did not need backing up and when I ran the backup it gave me 10 zip files but 4 were empty.
I did not have any market place apps installed at the time but the backup picked up on Angry Birds, Board Express, Endomondo, Brick Breaker and Bubble Birds and they all restored fine and my scores, levels, settings and history all worked fine.
I don't know what the other 4 items were, the backup got everything I wanted and as the restore worked I deleted the log files and backup files (sorry)
So perhaps some 'built in' apps appear as third party, maybe I dont know but this works fine.
There is another backup tool on this forum but it does not work on the HD2 (it should now I am on the new Mango) but yours does
I had a SMS backup&restore app on my galaxy S. I created a .XML backup file of my messages and have the file in my gmail. Can I use this app to restore the messages to my omnia 7?

The application creates empty zip files for apps without data. That way it knows which apps to install from the marketplace. It'll also create empty zip files for apps it doesn't have access to do a backup on (for the same reason).

Thanks for clearing that up Ooije, makes sense now you have explained it
I have been trying for the life of me to figure out the way, or if it's possible to keep progress from the game when updating or switching roms. As of now, Titanium Backup doesn't work, or does saving the data/game files and transferring them. Once you try to do either, it says that your unauthorized. Then you have to start fresh and re-download the 2 million gig game and files. I contacted firemonkey and they said rooted devices aren't supported. Don't remember seeing that on play, and it should be. Regardless, I paid for the game.....why am I not authorized to continue progress, and forced to start over from scratch when the newest version of pie is out? There has to be a way to keep progress....?:fingers-crossed:
I'm not sure how much this will help you but maybe it will be what you are looking for:
I recently had a problem where NFS:WM would crash on startup, and apparently the only thing to do (according to firemonkey) is just clear data and lose all progress. Having almost completed everything, I wasn't having any of that.
I'm not rooted but do have my bootloader unlocked so that I can fastboot TWRP to do backups, which also happens to give me root access when booted into TWRP. I made a backup and looked through it to try and and a problem. No luck there, but I did figure out that the game progress is stored in a single file. No config data or anything as far as I can tell, just the progress. So I cleared the data, ran the game through the first level, then copied that old progress file over the new one and I had it back up and going with all progress intact. It's basically a clean install, and since all of the config data is still part of the new install, it didn't cause me any problems.
I did download all of the game data again ultimately, however. But an earlier test of saving "/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/" and putting it back to avoid the download did work, although it could have been a fluke.
Anyway the file in question is "/data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/files/var/nfstr_save.sb". Just save that one file, install the game from scratch otherwise, run it the first time, then copy that saved progress file over the new one. Assuming that there isn't anything else going on that I didn't find, that should solve your problem.

It's basically a clean install, and since all of the config data is still part of the new install, it didn't cause me any problems.
I did download all of the game data again ultimately, however. But an earlier test of saving "/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/" and putting it back to avoid the download did work, although it could have been a fluke.
Anyway the file in question is "/data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/files/var/nfstr_save.sb". Just save that one file, install the game from scratch otherwise, run it the first time, then copy that saved progress file over the new one. Assuming that there isn't anything else going on that I didn't find, that should solve your problem.

Awesome. I'll give this a try. :good:
I use MyBackup Pro. I backed up the data and apk from my Nexus and transfered it to me Evo LTE. I restored the apk and data. It does prompt me to reinstall the other game data, which is fine with me. I found if I tried to copy it from one device to the other it would cause the game to crash randomly

most likely because of the device id (which is the id you see when you type "adb devices" in a command prompt). it's supposed to stay constant in the lifetime of the device (except for factory reset)
My phone acting weird. Once it moved on it's own. don't think im getting all the calls. Like it's been filtered or something.Use 2 anti vireses programs. Maybe im being paranoid or something. Maybe it's all in my head. Ohh and my ringtones changed like for example for facebook it just does a ring instead of the normal ringtone.. Maybe cuz i download a hole lot of apps.made it change the settings.

Anti Viruses an android willo only slow down your device... youdont need an anti-viruses.
If you download some cracked apk or apps that arent form that play store, these app can modify your phone.
For the phone calls that you are not getting all of them, its kind of wierd.
If i where you, i would factory reset my my phone.
Are you on Android 4.3?
If yes here's how to do a factory Reset:
Go into settings > Accounts (Tabs) > Backup and reset and click on Factory Data Reset.
*** WARNING ***
THIS PROCEDURE WILL DELETE EVERY DATA ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE ON YOUR PHONE (your SD Card Data will not be Deleted)
So make shure that you do a backup of your data before doing that.
And wait till its done
And now it should work!

I don't agree about not needing an antivirus, but you certainly don't need two of them. I do agree that the best way to fix your phone is by doing a factory reset. And like what was said, it will delete all of the storage on your phone, so make sure you backup anything you want to save before proceeding.
You can use an app such as MyBackup from the playstore to backup most of your information. Just remember to move or copy the folder called "reware" off of your phone into a safe place (like your computer) after the backup, if you choose to use that app.

anti-viruse or not... i think its a personal choice... personnally, i know what files that are on my phone, i know files that i download. So, for me its not userfull. AND BEFORE INSTALLING ANY APPS I READ THE APP ACESS: this app will get acess to... : Anti-Virus on android are not very userfull for me exept to slow down my phone. But if you are the person who download random stuff and install random apps for shure that you need an anti-virus But still, its a personnal choice. But if you want to MAKE SURE at 100% that your phone is safe you could install an antivirus (avast is the best one on the market!!)

Agreed. Two antivirus is definitely over kill...both on practicality and on the battery. Unlike Windows, some basic attention to what you are downloading and installing along with paying attention to permissions will protect you more than any app. If you are paranoid, one antivirus is enough.
And factory reset is probably the only way to fix the issue as already stated. Sometimes starting fresh is the only way to fix issues...even on android.
