Hey XDA,
I was hearing stuff about moving from ICS to JB needing to be a clean move, and that you shouldn't restore any data from ICS over to JB, cause it'll cause problems.
I do want to backup my app data, like my game saves and what not-- over to JB when I decide to upgrade.
Are there any tips or tricks to avoid messing up my JB ROM while being able to backup and restore my data from ICS to JB?
Thanks in advance,
-J
Bump ;3
Not sure really. If the apps themselves are updated to the latest version they should be fine to restore through tibu. You can always nandroid your both ICS with your apps, or JB before you try tibu, that way when you try tibu you'll be able to revert back easily if it does in fact screw anything up. Worth a shot of trial and error, though I believe you should be OK so long as you don't do system apps.

Apps in the /system/app folder.

Back on my Atrix I dirty flashed JB right on top of ICS and nothing bad happened. So I'm assuming carrying over user app data won't cause big problems.

Does anyone know why my phone has a force close on every app restored with tb when I return to a sense rom from an ICS rom. All aosp rooms restore just fine

Did you fix permissions
yup, and I tried it a second time to no avail
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
Did you restore app+data or just apps
app plus data, there are a few apps which I would rather have the data from before like games
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
Try restoring apps+data for the apps you need the data for like games and such
If you restore data on most items you will get a lot of fc's. I only restore data on specific programs
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Thanks, I will try that but it still confuses me why it does that only on sense roms
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
I might be wrong but I believe this concept has logic behind it. I believe that ICS builds are backwards compatible with the data from GB builds but not vice versa. (?)
You don't want to restore app & data between sense and AOSP. With games you should be able to restore app with data, but make sure you reboot after restore. Typically, I only restore data between the same. Sense to Sense and AOSP and AOSP.
When i Use google navigation always force close. I have tried few different ROM same thing.

Are you certain that you are doing a full wipe between ROMS and are you restoring your apps from a backup?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I do fully wipe then i use Calks format all.i restore from backups some of them. I don't get it why it is happening

Are you using ICS or Gingerbread based roms?
Have you tried uninstalling google maps and reinstalling it from the market?
You may want to make sure you did t remove your picotts or samsung tts files. You need to have some sort of tts on your phone for nav to work.

You might be right because when i turn on the phone after flashing something poping up and saying samsung.com/ stoped working. I don't know what exactly was it but something doesn't work on my phone. Maybe i deleted some system files by accident or something.

I installed a mod that I now know want to remove. Not sure what I lose though in terms of personal data like texts and app settings etc
I could just reinstall the jb update as well to get rid of the mod?

When you created your backup, that that point in time of the phone everything was backup, meaning system data, apps , etc.
so whatever you have installed or changed after wont be on that backup, so when you restore to that backup, only everything from that time state will be reverted too, nothing else.
Does that mean then I lose any pictures I've taken or texts?

no you wont lose anything of that nature, unless you do a full wipe, and format you SD card.
As far as text, I believe they are saved for a few days somewhere on the phone but everything will be as you left it from that state when you made that backup.
I could just install jelly bean over my current install no? That way I keep my apps and data but just lose the mod?

what are you currently using .. is your phone rooted? did you flash roms?
I am running CM10 on my current S3. Can I export my SMS/MMS from the S3 to the Note 2 or will I loose them? Everything else on the phone is either in the cloud or a program that I need to re-install so it's not an issue. Thanks!
Pretty sure there is a app that backs up sms

I have titanium backup and I know that does, I just don't know if it restores to a different device correctly
Search for sms backup+
Backups to gmail account just like email.
But then again you are on cm10. That might make a difference.

Use sms backup+ for texts and as for apps and such drag your titanium backup file over and restore
It will work. Titanium backup. But besure to restore asap. It will disorient the order or wipe the newer stuff. I brought my stuff from my samsung infuse. The note 2 and s3 are damn near the same phone software wise. Especially if you go aosp to aosp.
You can cloud the titanium backup via dropbox. But its a bit weird. Id just save it to the sdcard and swap.

Good info, thanks. I'll probably go to the CleanROM once I get it. So not sure its aosp to aosp, but I'll still give it a shot.
Goback up works well too, it also backs up MMS and call logs

In theory yes but unless u know what ur doing it'll never happen, as its more than just moving files around, u need to know how to decompile and recompile because the data ur looking for can't just be moved around

That would explain why using my old files caused the game to crash
Last I looked titanium backup will restore from cwm and twrp backups.
