[Q] problem with the game Naught since ICS

Hi, I used to play Naught on my Arcs S (GB) but since I install arconium ICS the game is launching but the screnne in not responding anymore...
Do you think it is an ICS issue?

If you've restored it with titanium back-up then may be an issue, re-install from market and restore the data with titanium.

I get this with a lot of games. Try a fresh install or clearing data.

i think i read it somewhere that some games arent compatible with ics and there will be problems with the touch screen or the game wont launch.

yea there are problems on ICS i think

I did that the first time, then I have tried a fresh install and the issue is still there...
So I have to wait the Naught's dev for an update...
Thank all of you for replying

No to Titanium Backup

I've learned that restoring apps using TB may cause problems.
Is there another way to get the saved files for apps. Like copying it to have a backup. Where can i find such files?
Thanks in advance.

Restoring apps causes problems mostly if you try to install JB-only apps onto ICS or ICS-only apps onto GB.
Certain Play Store apps have multiple versions, for example one for ICS only, one for GB only etc.
Problems occur if the apps installation fails, one possibility is above, but there are others aswell.

Thanks for the answer.
So, is it safer to download the app from play store, to get the right version as you said, and then restore the data using TB
Or will it change the apps version.
I often change rom so app data is always deleted.

Download the app from Google Play and restore the data only. It works fine. I have used this method many times when switching from CM10.1 to stock ROM and vice versa.

What my friend on the post above me said it's always the safer, but something I always use and never failed (perfect recover of everything, apk and data) is Mybackup ROOT, I got horrified when tried to use titanium once, and instantly came back to mybackup, for me it's the best, you do backup everything.

Thanks but it doesn't backup the data. I mean, only the apk's so the progress in games are wiped out.
Still. Thanks.

Will try this one.
I switch between ICS and JB roms. Haven't tried GB yet. XD
I think this is really the safest one.
Thank you.

Sounds like a great app.
I will also try this one.
Or maybe combine concepts with the previous post. Just to make things even safer.
Thank you too.

This method is OK since you restore the data without touching the main app, so it doesn't matter which ROM you install the app on.

[Q] Back up & restore app - now works different

Just tried to back up my files using this app, which I've done many times on the ICS firmware, however the version on the new JB update is different and states that only system apps will be backed up, but apps with downloaded data will not, so literally all the apps on the phone. Before this wasn't an issue and it backed up everything, all apps.
can anyone help/explain how to solve this?

seems normal for me, can backup all downloaded stuff too, if this (as per image attached), mine .200, unlocked BL, rooted.
from Acro S

Have this issue, only system box is checkable.

You'll have to backup to a USB drive via OTG, then you can backup media files and downloaded apps with data.

Yep realised this, which is strange because it never used to be like that.
I downloaded the old app from ICS and it installs and works fine!

You can install old backup and restore app
download from here

after update to .244 from .423, old backup not working!!! HELP!

Yesterday I received the OTA update ".244". I was on.423 earlier. So I started making backups. I used PCC for some part and sony backup and restore app in the phone for other. But after the successful update and a a successful factory reset, when I Tried restoring backups from both PCC. and backup n restore app(on phone), the PCC said backup on the phone currupted and restarted my phone. I thought there might hv been an error so started restoring again. But it failed yet again and restarted my phone. This same thing happened when I tried the backup and restore app.
I have the backup data on my pc and my microsd but cant restore. My phone is stock, locked, non rooted.
Help please!

Have had the same issue after updating to .244. The Reason is that the old android 4.1...Backups are not compatible to Android 4.2.... Someone said later that there is a message in pcc for that before updating......I did not recognize this message....anyway..... you have to do everything from scratch.

Which rom are you using?
If rooted then i would advice to clean dalvic cache and install the rom again.
Then install whatsapp and avoid restoring backup. Once you have whatsapp running u can restore backup. Also check for .nomedia files and delete if any
