So I have a weird question...
I play this game on my phone that has taken a bit of my time and effort (and money) but I need to re-flash my ROM. The game will not remotely save progress, so if I re-flash, I will lose everything and have to start over.
Somewhere, the game must have a file that it uses to save progressive progress... could anyone tell me where to look and what to pull from the phone before I re-flash that I might pull now, and push after so once the game is re-installed, it'll see this file and I might continue where I left off?
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help...
Have u checked your SD card for a folder either with the games name or the developers name gameloft saves all my games from them in a folder called gameloft and then subfolders named for each game your other option is to backup the games data in titanium backup and then restore it after you flash your rom

I always use titanium backup for my angry birds data

Titanium Backup should do the trick. You can test it out by doing a nandroid backup then wiping and restoring with Titanium. I've never had titanium steer me wrong, so I can't see why it wouldn't work for you.
Using Root Explorer, you can also backup the app's data in /data/data/process name of app. Save that folder to your SD card and then put it back in the same location after reflashing.
If you're reflashing without wiping data, you shouldn't lose any progress. Do a nandroid just in case, of course.

+1 for Titanium Backup, it will backup the apk and any data associated with it.
Titanium Backup is the truth

So I am having a weird issue with Angry Birds, Titanium Backup, and Gingerbread. Here is the deal: I backed up AB using TB while running one of the CM7RC0 builds. Then, when I switched back to CM6.1.1 and went to restore AB, the app would not run upon restoration and kept force closing. I figured the backup might have been corrupted. However, I restored my CM7 backup and was able to restore the AB backup. So, I created another backup of AB hoping that this iteration would restore across ROMs as it always has before. Unfortunately, no dice, and I can't get AB to restore onto any ROM other than the one from which it was backed up. Does anyone have a clue about what the issue may be or how I can go about fixing it?
In addition, I have tried backing up AB using other programs such as My Backup Root and it still will no work. This issue is not happening with any of my other backups.

I have had similar problems when trying to restore from TB upon flashing of a new ROM (whether it be a GB ROM, Sense ROM, whatever).
Before you try my solution, ensure that you have everything backed via TB or MyBackupPro (MBP) (I am so paranoid I have both paid versions installed).
I was only able to get apps restored by deleting android_secure folder on SD card, restoring/installing ROM, and then running TB or MPP to get apps back.
Oh yeah, standard instructions of full data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe apply.
I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but after an extensive search of XDA I've yet to find it.
And you can't view/edit contents of android_secure file from phone. It has to be done via ADB or simply while phone's SD card is mounted as disk drive when plugged in to your PC.
I forgot to mention: I only deleted the content of android_secure, not the folder itself, i.e., the folder remained on the root of my SD card.
Thanks for the advice. I will give this a shot when i get a chance this afternoon and I'll let you know if it works.
Tapa tapa tapa
Hey, no such luck but thats for the advice. I did clear the android_secure folder and the only thing in there, not surprisingly was an ASEC file corresponding to angry birds. I'm out of thanks for the day but I'll be sure to hit you with a few tomorrow.
Hi all,
I'm thinking about the change the ROM. What is the best way to keep all my apps and files? Can I just backup with Titanium Backup and restore it? I'm not sure if the SD card will be restored too through a factory reset.
I use MyBackup Pro - Paid app but does all the work for you in theory. Backs up everything. Quite cheap for a backup app.
And what's with the SD card? If I'm not completely wrong, I think the SD card is going to be deleted...

Not unless you want it all to be deleted. When I flash a new ROM and wipe data, it doesn't delete the files on it, all my wallpapers are still in there and APK's I want to install.
I use titanium backup, a complete backup tool for root users which works really well
I use titanium, it works great even the free one

Titanium Backup all the way mate.
There is a special partition layout that prevents the SD card (/dev/media) from being wiped. The only exception is if you flash a stock Google ROM - that will wipe the SD card.

my backup root is the way to go saves all apks and data as well as photos, txts, call log, and most settings only have to redo a couple things whenever i flash
also think about using a custom launcher to preserve your homescreen setups, most people are loving NOVA launcher available here in the forums and it allows you to backup all your home screens so that after you push your new rom you wont have to re-set up your shortcuts.
I use both Clockwork and TiBu. I have never flashed a ROM that alsoformats my card, but I suppose its possible.
However, I have not always had good luck with TiBu restoring all icons and widgets. Apps and data always come across fine, except in cases of dramatically different ROM versions, like jumping from Gingerbread to ICS where data like contacts can fail to transfer. No big deal because I just re-sync with Outlook.

For those using MyBackupPro, anyone have issues when backing up just data?
When I select data and use the default directory, /mnt/sdcard, I get "Error during backup:unable to open database file." Using version 3.0.6. I usually just tell it to backup SMS,MMS,Call Log.
Titanium backup synced to Dropbox
I have a question about Puzzle Quest 2 - I want to wipe phone with factory reset and delete all my data, but I have 41 level in PQ2.
Are there any save file in game files or anywhere in memory?
When I install and download a game again, I copy this file to specific folder and my save will restore.
Thanks and sorry for my English!
Nobody knows please?
Youll need to be rooted. Then you can copy out the data but more easily back it up with titantium backup to restore after the reset.

I know Titanium Backup but I want know, If any other reason is.
I tried copying data but they didn't fuctions, the game was downloading new data.
OK, I must Backup with Titanium.
Thanks and sorry for my English!
Please LOCK or DELETE!
I got the HD version of ABSW for a buck on the Play Store but I was trying to figure out if my save game from the Free version is compatible. Only problem is I cant seem to find it and Titanium Backup cant (as far as I could see) restore data to a different app.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Getting Tibu to install the data may be difficult. that said you can probably manually restore the saved data. its worth a shot. I remember once my Tibu data got borked so I was able to take some from another device manually and place them in teh proper folder. Dont ask me what is was. It was a while back and ive been drunk since.
I was trying to find the save fame file was but I can't seem to find it.

Try this: Long press the App in Tibu, select "send latest backup", then select "Data only (easy import)" and send it via email to yourself. Then backup and uninstall your non-hd version of angry birds, leaving only your hd version on your phone. Finally, open the attachment to your backup email above, and it should add the data to your hd version.
I did that and it just restored the backup I made of the ad infested version. I did look at the emailed backup info and is named com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwars.ads.iap-20121220-150323.TiBkp so I figure i need to change the file name and place it in the Tibu folder?
(trying that right now)

If it is a data only back-up, and you have uninstalled the other version, I thought it may restore the data to the hd version?
Hi All,
I have searched many many times for an answer to this and its driving me NUTS!!!
After a clean ROM install, I restore my games using Titanium Backup (both app and data), however for games with large data download requirements (such as most Gameloft games) the game makes me download the game data again. (some game data is up to 1GB)
The game data is sitting on my SD card - why the hell should I have to re-Download it?!?!?!?
There must be a way around this - I cannot be the only one!
Games I am talking about include: Asphalt 7, TDKR, great big war game, N.O.V.A 2 and many similar to this.
I am currently on ViperDHD rom, but have had this same problem before flashing other ROMs.
I don't understand why restoring my backup from Titanium does not work??
I want to flash clean Roms, but this is really holding me back - I can't be re-downloading GBs of the SAME data OVER and OVER again. I dont have the download capacity or time to do this each time.
Please tell me someone has an answer to this??
No one??
surely I cant be the only one with this problem?? :crying:
If its already there it should not redownload but the download sight does need to verify the data to see if its official. There is no way around it.
Also do not restore the data its already there, just restore the app and let market verify the data.

Thanks for your reply.
Verify data is one thing, but the app completely re-downloads the data. I will try and restore the app alone and see what happens. I thought I would need to restore the data in order to restore my previous save game progress??
I have also seen someone say if I copy the data to a different location, run the app once, cancel the download, then move the data back to the original location, then run the app again it should work. So I will try that as well and see how I go...

did you get any further with this? i have the same issue but not all my games. Asphalt7 nova3, nova2 all restore ok without downloading(im using directory bind with those, not sure if this is affecting it) but wild blood(also directory bind),realracing3 still want to download the data all again. Even though it's data folder is still there in sdcard. i have tried just to restore the app, app+data. The only way it seems is to delete the folder, download again, restore data and then i can pick up from where i left the game. but that's a bit slow.
how to restore nfsmw data via titanium back up.. it dowsnot download data it gives error.
