Link Games to Data - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got GTA3 on my phone with all the data on the SD card. When I unlocked my bootloader the game wanted me to download the files again.
I restored a nandroid backup up then it worked again. I've since updated my firmware and got it how I want it. Now it's asking me to download again. How do I link the game to the data without restoring the backup?
Other game's data works, so why not this? It's on my SD card somewhere.

Can't install angry birds

I deleted angry birds main files I guess from my SD card to clear memory so it stopped working. So I used titanium backup to uninstall and I tried to re install it and it said application can't install so then I used root explorer and deleted everything that had angry and bird in it and still can't get it to install again. That's my favorite game.
Can someone please help me.

Umm just download it from the market, it still free lol
does this really belong in the android dev forum?
gl fixing your issue
why is this here and not in Q&a
Reboot your phone and try the installation after that.
Also, this is should be in the Q&A section or maybe the apps/themes section.
I did put in q&a a week ago and no one helped.
And I've been tryin to install it from the market and downloading the apk. I've done restated my phone bout 15 times in.a week. I can install everything else but angry birds encore and androzip. These was the only 3files I deleted and every since then I haven't been able to install these only 3

ZOMG!!! angry birds is awesome I would just die without it!>!!
Seriously though have you tried doing a factory reset or if your rooted do a wipe and re flash?

It probably just didn't uninstall correctly and is still there. Your probably going to have to run a command in ADB but not sure what you would run, I'd assume it be something like you have to do to install the Google apps. And if that doesn't work just wipe.
I haven't tried the ADB part. But I am rooted I have wiped everything, switched between Ava, Fresh and CM6 still no go. I used the search using root explorer but its sayin its not finding anything anymore. Its only the 3 apps that I called myself cleaning. I have no problem with any other app.. I really have tried everything but the ADB because Im not that good with it and I wouldn't kno the first place to search.
I'm bored and dying without my angry birds. Lol.

make sure that Titanium Backup completely deleted the APP, i had to delete it then restart the phone then delete it again and restart a second time for it to completely delete the APP from the phone and allow me to install it
Thread moved to Q&A.
if you use titanium back up do you have a back up of angry birds if so and you cant get it anyother way you have tried restoring the back up? that may be what youa re doing now but figured thats about all i could add at this point
Try unmounting your SD card then install.
Just a shot in the dark here but have you wiped your ext partition?

I forgot where I saw it but there's a file in the .androidsecure folder in ur sd card u have to delete. After I did that it downloaded fine. Mount ur fone as a hard drive, go into the folder and the file should be the last one and starts with "sm". Delete it then try it again. Also, if ur having issues with an app stuck on downloading, log into gtalk. Hope this helps

I didn't wipe my ext partition because I never set the partition up and I was nervous it was goin to erase my SD card.
I looked for the androidsecure but when I went into it there was nothin in it to delete.
How is this even possible to not be able to install only 3 apps?

Finally figured out my problem 1 minute ago. I couldn't live without angry birds. Lol.
But it seems I wasn't the only one having this problem so with a lil herb I sat down and Googled my tail off and I found out there was a file called smdl2tmp1.asec in the android.security folder I had to delete. And after that I was able to install my apps again. Don't kno exactly wat that file is but it worked for me. And I've been lookin for the answer for weeks. Now problem solved.

[Q] Backup & Restore Question

Hello!
So this is what I did:
Rooted my R800at 2.3.3 with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4]
Installed CWM
Performed a Nandroid backup
Copied everything from my SD to my computer (including all dot/hidden files)
Installed Titanium Backup
So now I can freeze/delete stuff and really play around with my phone. If I need to restore my phone back to normal, I can:
Turn off phone
Wipe SD
Copy previously backed up files from my computer to my SD
Perform a Nandroid restore
Unroot with DooMLoRD's Unrooting Toolkit [v1]
Is this correct? Or do I need to use other backup tools? Sorry, I am a newbie and I am really trying to figure this out. I appreciate all the help I can get!
Yes, a Nandroid will completely restore your phone. However there is no need to wipe your sd card
Awesome. Thanks! I'm down to 30 MB free of internal so I'm itching to purge.

Keeping titanium backup files when flashing a new ROM

Hey, I have the galaxy nexus and I was wondering how to go about keeping titanium backup files on NY phone for when I flash more Roms . Other phones have an SD card to keep these files that does not get deleted when wiping data. Since the gnex does not have an SD card, is there anyway to have these files on my phone all the time ? Thanks!

If you are using a custom recovery like CWM, it will NOT wipe /sdcard when you wipe data.
Right, when you do a factory reset before flashing a new ROM, the internal (virtual) SD is left intact. Same goes for NAND backups made with CWM. Also, your music, pictures, etc.
Also, you can always transfer files to your computer for a second backup.
OK, so it just tells the phone this portion of memory is the SD card and to keep it. Okay thanks !

the game data files are stored in /sdcard/data/com.rockstar.maxpayne or something like that, just backup those game files.
You can try Titanium Backup if your phone is rooted, it works really good.
You can find it in Play Store.
