is there an app for gamers like me who don't want to root their new phone and don't want to start their games all over again? all i run into is mybackup and titanium pro but you have to be rooted to just be able to backup and restore your game file.

hmmm
im pretty sure if there isnt a setting to back it up in the game then youre probably going to lose your data..
ive never seen a non root app back up any app data..

I came over from windows mobile and am some what of an android noob. After you flash a ROM is there anyway to restore apps so they dont lose data, I dont want to start over on amgry birds.

I use MyBackupPro, there's also Titanium Backup. Both are paid applications in the market.

Using Clockwork Recovery (check development forums), and depending on the flashing instructions, I usually:
save the rom to Sdcard/
boot into clockwork
backup and restore > backup (makes a full backup)
Wipe Data, (clear cache if they tell you to),
apply zip (rom) from SD
then back to Backup and Restore > advanced > select your backup > restore Data only.
Then reboot, and you should be good to go with your saved Angry Birds game
Mybackup pro worked like a charm.

Mybackup works well but you on't want to backup and restore data if you frequently switch roms/kernels. So if it's just the apk you are trying to save then astro more than gets the job done.

Lol, that's what I get for not paying attention to the op.
Titanium Backup Pro will restore your backup with one click. It has saved countless hours from switching ROMS all the time. It is well worth it to get the paid app because you can let it start restoring and walk away. The free app requires you to click "Yes" to restore each app, one at a time.
I also use the back up and restore feature of LauncherPro so I don't have to keep redoing my home screen setups.
Once you have these two apps in play you don't have to be shy about trying as many different ROMs as possible.

But, devs and contributors keep saying,
Don't restore system stuff or apps + data using Titanium, it will cause issues

Is APK Batch Installer, [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880 ], a better option ?
Or, in the end all data restoring is not a good idea if switching between android versions?
All data restorations can cause problems, not just TB.

I obviously am not rooted yet. I need to know how I can restore a backup using a non rooted program that will include app data like game info. How should I go about doing this? I have the old phone right here with me, so I can do a fresh backup if needed. I already have backups with titanium, but I can't restore them without root access it's telling me.
I would think that there is some way to restore app data without being rooted. What do you suggest?
Edit: Is there a temp root for people with 2.3.3?
is there any app or any way to back up my game data??? i have not rooted my phone????
find apk for back up specific game
Just the apk doesn't backup the data. Try titanium backup from the market. It's awesome. ( it needs root). Its very complicated if you don't have root. And im not sure if it's possible.
its probably the dumbest question ever but i have a really fun japanse game on my phone and i would like to upgrade to jellybean and dont want to lose data of the game . i already did a titanium backup of that app but when i restore it could i play where i left off
sorry for bad english :silly:
If you backed up its data as well, you should be able to restore both. It works with my games.
thanks
i tried with titanium backup but no luck is there a another way
Did you back up App + data, or just the app?
You sure you backed up app+data in older rom?

thanks u guys for ur help i already figure it out
What did you do?
Hi guys,
My device lags too much these days, especially after latest 4.3 OTA update. Soon I will perform a factory reset and don't want to lose my game saves and most of other app configurations. Last time I checked, it was possible to backup such files only for rooted phones via Titanium Backup. But my device is not rooted and I'm not planning to root it in the near future.
These are some of the games I want to backup: Subway Surfers, Hill Climb Racing, CSR Racing, Fruit Ninja, NFS Most Wanted etc...
And these are the apps: WhatsApp, AndFTP, Cool Reader etc...
So, what do you experts suggest me to backup my datas?
Is "Helium" good and trustable enough OR is there any better app for non-rooted devices?
Is "Move to SD card" feature (came with Android 4.3) trustable?
Thanks in advance for the ideas
Come on people, I need your knowledge. Please feel free to share your ideas.

i dont use helium or do i trust it
2nd move-to sd card works, 90% it will save your game data and everything and you're safe no worries
OR back up on your pc, there are programs you can use or pull game data to pc
dropbox/Google drive can be usefull for backups

Thanks a lot for the ideas :good:
Could you please give me a bit more detail about performing a backup by the help of pc? Is there a program to pull the game data to pc?
I believe that you still need root access before you can backup all of your game data for this phone.

yu dont need root, root is optional or just for TITANIUM backup
@tvf i will report back later, for the time being try using ADB to pull files from your phone when you are connected to your pc/mac
there are programs/software that can backup full game data i just need to google it .......

Thank you, I will wait for it. I googled but all I found is Kies, which is really useless.
Dude just root your phone. You'll save yourself a lot of time and headaches. There are some methods to backup without root but in all honesty, it'll much easier (and maybe safer) to just root your phone and use titanium backup.

I agree with Florad77. Yes you can use adb, and probably some other method, but the process is going to be a lot more complicated than if you just root the phone.

i agree with you guys backing up with root is easier
try this link http://transgenius.net/tutorials/backup-restore-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
cf-auto root make it easier to root the S3 or manual with CWM
Its a pretty simple affair to backup data from self installed apps, anything that is not stored on the internal or external SD is all stored in the /data folder of your device. Any non root backup app has access to this folder, or any file explorer for that matter. You can save a few steps of downloading, installing, and executing an app and just copy/paste the /data folder to one of the sd's (this is basically all a backup app is going to do, with the added possibility of compression and md5 checksums), jack in to a pc, copy/paste to desired location.
