I'm having a problem restoring apps and keeping the data (high scores, etc.). I'm running CM 7 nightlies on my N1. I decided to try partitioning my SD card with a second partition (ext) to help with internal storage limitations. Both the phone storage and SD card were wiped.
After getting ext working I then started restoring apps and their data from a Titanium backup. I'm choosing "App+Data" when restoring. The apps restore fine but the data is not there. For example Angry Birds levels are not open and other games have no high scores.
Any idea why this is and how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have recently swapped builds from Bangsters to PhireMod Skinny Evo and have managed to copy across the vast majority of my data fine. However, I'm having issues with Angry Birds.
It's not the game itself I'm concerned about, rather the data as I'm about 4/5ths into it and as everyone knows, to install this game the card needs to be unmounted. However, in order to restore using Titanium Backup, the memory card cannot be unmounted but Titanium Backup is the only way of transferring the data and prevent the loss of the hours of gameplay I have already put into the game. You can see the issue.
Is there any way around this to anyone's knowledge?
Cheers in advance.
unmount sd -> install it with apk -> mount sd -> rebuild with titanium
I face the same problem. Here's what i do every time.
Unmount SD card -> Install Angry birds from market or apk -> Mount Card -> Restore App Data Only using Titanium Backup
Hope that helps
Cheers for the replies guys, worked a treat. I didn't realise data could be restored separately.
I noticed my SD card was getting quite clogged up with the all the backups ive done with titanium backup it was using 781MB so i deleted it all and backed up the apps again, everything appears to be working ok except 2 of my Gameloft HD games are again asking me to download additional data to run on my phone, seen as i don't have an unlimited data package ill have to wait until im in a free Wi-Fi area to do this, but i already downloaded this additional data twice for these 2 games so is this something to do with me deleting the Titanium Backups on my SD card or do all these HD games always require you to download additional data every so often?
Cheers
I need someone to give me a course "backing up 101" ... I have so many questions I do not know where to begin. I have muddled through rooting and things are running ok. I have even put CM7 on an SD card and it works but I do not understand about backing up:
Why do people backup individual apps when you could re-download them from market?
How do you backup "everything" (like all your apps at once and/or plus the ROM itself)?
When you backup something that is in internal memory (that's EMMC, right?) where does it back up to (my desktop? SD card? more internal memory?)
What programs (apps) do you use for backing up?
Any backing up info you would like to share would be very appreciated. Thank you.

People back up roms with clockworkmod in case you have issues or want to flash another rom and something goes wrong allowing you to revert back to the old one. That backup is stored on your nooks sd card. People back up apps with Titanium backup from the market. You can save the app plus the data (gmail for example). Those are stored on your nooks sd card as well. If you have a lot of apps, in my opinion, it is easier to restore from titanium than redownload each one. Both clockworkmod and titanium backup creates folders on the sd card and recalls them when needed. You would not have to concern yourself with doing anything but choosing to back up or choosing to restore.
I make backups of the ROM because i'm constantly messing it and sometimes it's easier to restore it then try and fix what i've goofed up.
Using Titanium Backup i do a batch backup of all my apps at once, and if i need to restore even one app from it It's saved all data.
Backup ROM -keeps Angry Birds
Backup Angry Birds - saves all my completed levels.
Guys This is a noob question but please help me with this
After Rooting my phone i backed up my apps with Titanium Backup with Apps + Data
then later i was planning to install a new ROM so i even backed up my ROM using Philz Touch Recovery with Data+System+Cache+Boot.
After trying several ROMS one of it asked for clearing the Internal Storage (Media Storage) and i lost all my photos and stuff.
Currently after returning to my Stock ROM and flashing Titanium Backup apps back i cant find My Audio Manager (Hiding App) data.
On Trying to remember i think that the app location was set to sd card.
I want to recover my Audio Manager Apps Data because it was really Important
I currently have a full backup of my stock ROM which totals abut 8.56 Gb is there any way to just get the data back.
It was reallly IMPORANT Please Help.
Titanium backup folder is set to the internal storage by default. Unless you changed that.
When restoring a backup there it should ask you what you want to restore. Data, system, boot, efs, etc.
Just select data. But this will restore all backed up data from your backup.
I know the stock samsung rom is about 3.5 GB, the rest is data. So you will have 5 GB of data that might need restoring.
I got a low storage message on my S4. I deleted caches, I deleted the cache partition, I deleted several apps, I deleted all the media files I could, I moved whatever parts of apps I could to the external SD card. I regained enough space to make the message disappear. But lo and behold after some plain old web browing, I lost 250mb overnight, and since this afternoon, another 120mb. Why did the recovered space disappear? How do I get it back? I am so frustrated. The only two things I can think of are to do a factory reset and hope for the best or dump the S4 for something with more system and base storage.
Did you use Clockworkmod or Philz recovery at any point?
How many apps do you have on your device?
How many large games are on your device?
Here's why I asked about Clockworkmod. The last version would allocate space for nandroid backups and would not free it unless you told it to. It would do this because the nandroid backups were in fact incremental backups, and being able to delete one backup would screw up all subsequent backups made. TWRP thankfully doesn't do this, but nandroid backups are located on internal storage. Too many backups and your space goes *poof*.
Large apps and games will consume space as their data is stored in the internal storage, though I'm sure you know that. Thing is, a lot of small apps can have the same effect.
If you ran Clockworkmod at any point and didn't free up the space it reserved for nandroid backups, you'll have to reinstall it and free the space. Otherwise, check for excess numbers of nandroid backups. If there are too many backups and you're running Clockworkmod, delete them all, free up the space using Clockworkmod's commands for that, and switch to TWRP. If there are too many backups and you're running TWRP, delete all but the newest one. As for your apps, you really should go through them and uninstall the ones you haven't accessed in a while.
Browsers such as Chrome (and anything based on it I guess) tend to have large cache.
My Chromium based browser has a 240MB cache.
I have not rooted this phone. I have very few games, nothing large. I do not use Chrome, only Dolphin. I have moved as many apps (or part of them) as possible to the external SD card. Yet, space keeps disappearing.
