I like to change build in Android HD2 and I don't mind reinstalling apps in it (I usually restore it with Astro Filemanager tools)
but things like Favorite in motonav, or Angry Birds, paper toss savegame couldn't get restored...
anyone know how to back it up? so I don't have to put new POI in motonav or play again the game?
that could really make my day.. and how I wish there's a Garmin apps for Android..

Just got my HD2 and have been installing games and apps, but they are kind of all over the place, how can I put games in my "games" folder, how can I make folders etc. I hate when I install a game and its icon is in the start menu rather then in the "games" folder.
There are a couple of ways to do this... I use Resco Explorer and go straight to the start menu and cut and paste into new folders (if they don't already exist)...
There are also Apps that do this available here on XDA-Devs JSPA Program Manager is the one I recommend
some of the built in progs, like the HTC stuff, cant be moved, and will reappear with a plain icon if you move them.
Annoyance.
Does anyone know how to back up saved game data?
I have searched in the forums. Couldnt find an answer.
I play Zenonia, Caligo Chaser, Dungeon Hunter, SNESoid...
I dont know where the save data is though so everytime I change rom I lose it.
On VBN/MATTC/Froyo right now...
For the emulators they usually make a directory in your root. At least vgba does. I copied that and was fine resuming my games.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Still cant find it.
Zenonia, Caligo Chaser, SNESOID.
I have scoured my root device and storage card directory by directory with HIDDEN and SYSTEM file viewing enabled... I just dont see them...
Yeah, I am pretty lost on them also.
But I seriously need a hex editor for this game.
I would make one, but I just don't want too compile every single item.
Titanium Backup work for me...
I use Titanium Backup to backup my apps and data(game save) on my HD2 android [BUILD] ★ 9.01.2010 ★ HyperDroidv1.1
tibackup can't really do it, I try to transfer saved data game of big business from SGW to SGT but after I restore the data with tibackup, it can't start the game (frezee on first loading), or maybe i did it wrong

Hi there!
I was using shubCraft Build for 2 month now. Sadly shubCraft isnt maintained anymore... so i would like to change to another, new build (maybe with Sense), but i dont want to lose all programs and settings of my current build.
Can i change the Build without losing Settings and Programs? Are maybe these things stored in data.img?
Thx and greetz,
infernalshade
it's pretty hard to keep setting when switching build, because some settings seem to break stuff in other builds. if you want to keep your programs, just use titanium backup and save em. after changing build simply replicate em back. some savegames need to be saved separately from the game files it self. a very prominent example is angry birds. i have changed my build yesterday and rebuild my data.img and my save was gone. today i found what to save you can ask here if you have specific questions about saving specific program settings.
Hm by settings I mean things like messages,contacts,dates and notes... on wm I've used spb backup for this, is there any program for android too?

What did you do to save your progress in angry birds? That game is addicting and how I kill downtime at work! Ready to try a new build but pretty far on the game.

You only had to scroll down about 10 threads from this one for the answer (or search): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813279
Or I could ask here since that it the last statement of the post by Screemi. I didn't realize that it was the same user posting in that thread and was looking to see if there were different solutions that could be used.
Noone knows any good program to backup messages,contacts,dates and notes? I mean such a program like SPB Backup!
myphoneexplorer works like a treat for me. i backup my contacts, massages, etc. withit. don't know if it can backup notes.
Ok Notes are not the Problem, the important thing are contacts, messages, dates and programs
Ok, MyphoneExplorer and Titanium Backup worked fine, thx!
I havent saved my Angry Birds Saves, the newest Version of Titanium Backup is saving it too
Hi again, i have another question left:
Is it possible to update the Version of the SAME build without losing any data?
I'm using MDJ FroYo Sense Clean Build now (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780525). Today a new Version was released, with some fixes i need!
So, is it possible?

Just don't overwrite your data.img file and you should be fine. I'd back up your SD card to be sure you have what you need, but what I do is just update what you need to update: Usually everything in Android folder except the data.img file. If you have saved ringtones or other notifications that are custom, I'd keep the SD\Android\Media folder the same too.
data files almost always work across the same build. Read the change log and the first post because most Chefs let you know if you can't keep your data.img file.
hi i installed nand rom android froyo but no games watsoever work they all close is this due to it bieng android on windows mobile phone?
No, this isn't due to it being Android on a Windows Mobile phone. I have Angry Birds running on my phone. Do you have any other information we can use?
yes angry birds is one game that has worked but iv installed quite a few like fruit ninja iv jus come from desire hd which i thought the battery was awful the battery better on this but at the moment iv swtiched bk to winmo..
i tried nfs, asphalt, fruit ninja, bubble blast and real football all force clos
EDIT; Its a NAnd Rom.....fro some reason when i try installin one on sd card it wipes my sd card clean but only files in folders are deleted and not files on root of sd strange prob
by the thank you for the speedy reply
Do you use A2SD? Cause some apps dont work on SD cards.
Angry Birds is one game that needs to be on the phone to work. ShootMe is an app that has to be on the phone to work also. Because Angry Birds are such large files, they install to the card. Go into apps manager in settings to move them to the phone.
Just received my grandson's Elocity A7 and updated it to the 2.0124, but have a few questions (as always)...
#1- He doesn't use Facebook, Amazon, etc.. and I wanted to delete them from the desktop. However, when I hold my finger on one of them and move to trashcan, and go back to desktop, the icon is still there. Why? How do I delete and icon/program from the desktop?
#2- It has Gejar Apps. Is that where we would download addtl apps? Is that the same as Google Market Place?
#3- What is Fring: Aldiko; Appoke; Dev Tools; Documents to go; FBReader; IMDb; Kindle; OI File Manger; Spare Parts and Twidroud Pro?
Are they all required? If we delete the desktop icons, do the programs (actual program taking up space) still remain? And if so, should/could we delete those also to free-up space?
Thanks very much for your help.
Alice
P.S. The power button is very, very small, isn't it? Does anyone else have a problem with it? It is hard to get my finger into the tiny opening.
Thanks.
Alice
Deleting Icons
The system apps must be deleted using a special application written to work with the root directory of the device. I found Titanium Backup to work very well. It is a application back up program but it also gives you an uninstall option. I was able to delete Amazon Shopping and Amazon MP3 very easily. Google Titanium Backup.
Get Jar and other ?'s
#2- It has Gejar Apps. Is that where we would download addtl apps? Is that the same as Google Market Place?
GetJar is an app store much like Market Place. The difference being a lot of the apps on GetJar have been resized to work with tablets. A lot of Market Place apps are sized for phones only. this is changing on a daily basis as more tablets are sold.
#3- What is Fring: Aldiko; Appoke; Dev Tools; Documents to go; FBReader; IMDb; Kindle; OI File Manger; Spare Parts and Twidroud Pro?

these are all apps and app stores. You can delete them if you like. If you want more storage you can use a micro SD card up to 32GB.

I tried 'everything' to delete Aldiko and Appoke, but cannot seem to get them off the Elocity. Are they 'permanent' and cannot be deleted? That would not be nice that we could not remove them if we would never use them. They are just taking up space!
