Hey people,
Yea, I just flashed a new ROM and I couldnt remember the apps I used to have. Is there any way I could find out and recover the game saves?
Thanks.

If you downloaded them thru Market then you can goto http://market.android.com and you'll see a list under my account. If you used a non-wipe ROM the data will still be there and unless the apps don't wipe the data themselves you'll be able to access it.
It's a full wipe ROM, I do have a CWM backup. Is there anything I could do with it?

What game is it? Many save game data on the sdcard which isn't included on cwm backups so either you will still have the savedata on your sdcard or it's already gone forever.. otherwise use wunyaffs to unpack your nandroid backup and search through it
I installed the game and it at first stages.
So, I've restored the backup and hope to use titanium backup to backup the games and apps.
Then, flash LeoMar's ROM and then restore through titanium backup.
Is there anything wrong that I could be possibly doing?

dont think there is a difference. a nandroid backup is a complete image of your file system at the time of backup. essentially a complete copy of your phone's state. its done in clockwork/bootstrap recovery
+1 for racinwarrior
and i think you made a typo in your op.
Thanks 4 your help it looks like you clarified that for me. Oh ya I did eff up on my spelling. Ment to say nandroid back up and android back up. okay so I have bootstrap recovery and have done a backup. so does this mean if my phone is messed up I can revert back to that date I did the backup and my phone should be okay ? And do I need to do a complete wipe data of my phone ? thanks for everyones help

Yeah, i always wipe system, data, cache when i'm restoring a back up just to be on the safe side as a nandroid will literally restore your phone to the condition it was in when you backed it up

Did you just flash the ROM?
Did to full wipe and or factory reset?
Are you coming from another custom ROM?
Did you restore any system apps or data using titanium backup or my backup root etc? Edit: if so was the backup made from a different ROM?
Have you a recent cwm recovery nan-backup? Could boot into recovery and try "fix permission", sometimes helps with force closes, and sometimes will give you more issues than you had,....according to some.
Edit: Could also try clearing the app data/cache etc. You may lose your mail account setup though.

If you do a full wipe & flash the Rom again, I don't think you will have a problem.
What apps did you remove, how (root explorer, titanium, removed from zip prior to flashing ROM) etc?

If you're restoring with titanium backup try to only restore app and not app+data. The data part might conflict with the new FW as it's a higher build number.
Don't think it has anything to do with the posted .ftf file nor the method in updating.

I'm restoring using my backup root. Damnit.. I have so much data: (
Is there any way to bypass ?

If you're restoring data from a nandroid i would then flash the doomlord kernel that matches the FW build on the nandroid. Then i would restore the nandroid and then download titanium backup and do a back up with that. Then upgrade to the state where you are now and use the TB to restore apps without data
Regards Dousan...
e: Just reread your post and saw that I missed the app you are using to restore. In that case it would be helpfull if you had a recent nandroid. Afaik My backup root can only restore one way and that's app+data at once and nothing else.
e2: You could do the above, flash kernel and firmware that matches your backup from my backup root. When flashed then restore the backup from my backup root and then download TB and do a backup with that. Then return to current state you have at the moment and restore with TB using only app option when doing so.
So I don't get any data -_-?
Edit, wrong, myroot does it threeway

Yes without data or atleast do one at a time to check if it FC's.
Edited my post above.

So I don't get any data back? I have both tb and myroot. I use my root because I don't have tbpro to restore all at once
No data? Boooo...

Hey there is no data conflict, that's for sure.
I flashed the ftf file with the "Wipe user data" option UNCHECKED. All my apps, data, contacts, messages remained as they were without any single conflict or FC anywhere.
Besides, I restored many apps via Titanium now and then. They worked fine.
-------
Maybe it's a problem with MyBackup root. try mybackup Pro.
OK I restored some data, and it worked fine
Strange...
I may not wipe user data next time....

I've used TB alot and have now and then encountered FC'ing when restoring both app+data when jumping build numbers in FW/custom roms.
Games from gameloft just acts weird at some points when restoring from TB with data aswell.
It still could be a data conflict as i've seen people upgrading the same custom roms on the same phones and some get that FC'ing when they don't wipe data and some don't and some get's it when restoring with app+data and then some don't. So it might still be worth restoring one at a time to see wich has a conflict.
Regards Dousan...
Am thinking of not wiping data and return to 233 and restore my vadass apps and data!

You mean we can flash the 2.3.4 ftf file even w/uncheck wipe user data, and all those apps will still work perfectly? Hmmm, seems like I will get this 2.3.4 now.. The reason why I don't flash is because of the restoring problem also, the last time I did that, it took me 3-4 days to download all data files again.. Maybe nextime I will just do a backup of the apk using mybackup root and I will just backup my sdcard files to my PC..
But oh, I will lose root since my BL is still locked, I will not be able to flash the rootxperia.. Maybe I'll just wait for OTA then.. Tsk..
So I flash new ROMs on my phone constantly and I would never be able to bear being such a flash whore without titanium backup. I'd like to root my nexus but I keep reading it deletes everything and as dumb as it seems, I want to keep my Garfield data! I've read about nandroid backup but it does the same image right?
Is there a way to backup just apps+data like titanium backup without rooting it first? Or using a backup app without needing root access?

ADB backup from android SDK
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I guess I'll search for that then.
Bout to get my nexus 4, will be dropped off by UPS tomorow. And i have a few questions, if anyone will be kind enough to answer.
Would it be a smart idea to unlock the bootloader and root it with TWRP recovery like the second i take it out of the box so that way i dont have to back anything up?
And then, when i decide to switch to a non stock ROM i will just need Titanium backup to backup my stuff and then im good to go?
Also, one more question, since nexus's dont have SD cards, wont my titanium backups get wiped when i flash a rom?
Thanks
1) Yes it would probably be a good idea to unlock and root right away. That's what I done with my Nexus 7. I didn't install recovery though because I wasn't interested in custom ROMs. If you're going to be flashing things right away then yes install the recovery aswell.
2) Titanium Backup will do that perfectly for you but you could always just make the backup through recovery. As you said you'll be using TWRP it means you can restore data separately from a backup anyway.
3) You don't need to worry about backups being wiped because they're stored in the internal SD. It's essentially just space to make sure important things can still be safe even if you factory reset.
Hope that helps

Btw I would recommend Helium instead of Titanium Backup for backing up your stuff. Works much more efficiently, at least for me. Helium backs up everything, apps and app data, launcher, WiFi settings, user dictionary, launcher setup, and all your SMS data. I really like it and I've fully replaced Titanium Backup with it.

Instead of titanium backup use go backup pro and save it to the cloud

After you root & unlock the device I strongly suggest you play around with the phone for a few days and see how battery is and its performance as well. After those few days if you want you could just install any rom or kernel you want. You'll thank me later. Lol

thank you all so much! I really appreciate the answers. I will look into all three of those options for backing up my data! Thank you. and the internal sd card thing makes perfect sense so thank you for that explanation. You all have a good day!
