Angry birds saved file.........

Hi,
Does anyone know where angry birds saved file is located? I finished the game & now I have to re-format my sd card.....

Just backup you data.
One way is to save all of your Android stuff to your PC. Then place it back on the SD card after you reformat.
Another way is to save your data.img before you reformat your SD card.
A third is to use titanium backup from the market (free) and backup that app with data. After you reformat you can restore angry birds with your save data in tact.
Of course, you could always beat it again... it is a game after all.

+1 on the question of the OP
in my case, titanium is not an option, as my Android build incessantly shows the FC message android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. I cant use any programss as the pop up keeps showing, but i can access my root via droid explorer. Looks like a file got corrupted. Using mdeejay's Desire HD 3.6 BTW.
Id really hate to lose what 2 straight sleepless nights have merited me LOL
Any help n where to find the angry birds save data? or ANY program data for that amtter...maybe i can take it from there

I had also once that titanium wouldn't start. It seemed that superuser doesn't worked well. So you can start superuser and see if titanium is added.

Look in /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds, try copying that folder to another android build. But I'd back up your corrupted image before doing anything else, that way you can always restore.

Thank you, this was very helpful. Now I won't lose my progress. Titanium backup didn't work for me.

Ok im into same issue . So did you finally restored your game ? because i'll be wiping out my device soon.

Hi,
I tried both methods when restoring a backup. The folder method works, but after you reinstalled the game. I also had to modify the folder permissions. Otherwise, Titanium backup works very well too but here's what I did:
1. Backup old data from old ROM
2. Boot new fresh ROM.
3. Install Angry Birds from market or manually.
4. Install Titanium Backup if it's not done
5. Click "Got problems"
6. Install the new busybox version
7. Go to restore, look for Angry birds in the list, click it one and click restore to restore data.
This worked perfectly for me.

I'm a bit of an Android newbie - so can you tell me what I need to use to copy this folder?
If I look on my PC, the only DATA file I have is data.img
If I go into the Android folder, there is a Data folder... but it only has one folder in it - com.cooliris.media.
I'm very tempted to order a Desire Z in the next few days - and ideally I'd like to copy my Angry Birds progress onto this!

Hi, I suggest getting root explorer. It should let you see the system folders. You should see folders like /sys,/system,/tmp,/proc, etc.
When you see this, go in data/data to get the information. Otherwise, use Titanium Backup as I've mentionned above. Other people have said that My Backup pro works really well too for Angry Birds.

the reason you get those errors is from backing up and restoring sys data on a rom with diferent framework.
solution: only backup/restore apps/data

thers no possibility to copy the savefile directly from the sd card to the pc? i mean, when only my sd card is connected to pc.. that way we could just copy the file back after formatting

on a windows pc... lol sure, theres ways...
on a linux box... piece of cake, even for a noob...

god, im pissed. xD i want to get a new android build but i dont want to loose my angry birds save >.<!
i dun trust titanium backup :3 but seems the solution right now
i dun find the file via file browser in winmo or on pc >.>

I have actually found this folder but where do you copy it too.
I have just changed to another android build but still have the other one on my SD card so i can boot either one of them with the bootloader so i dont know where to put a copy of this folder so that my current android2 folder sees it.
Any ideas?
** figured it out, just used titanium pro backup, worked restoring saved game data no prob

edit: never mind

Please give me saves from version 1.4.2,
do not want to re-take game

[Guide] Back up your data before moving to a new rom

Back up your data before moving to a new rom​
This guide is for rooted phones, and all work on my galaxy s2 but should work with most phones.
So you have decided to go for a new rom, but are worried about loosing all your apps, game saves, data, contacts, sms etc.. Well here is my little guide to restoring most of it. (Why only most, well moving to a new rom means that some apps and data are not compatible). We are going to break it down into apps to use and then the process.
Install App Extractor after you have flashed your new rom
Just a note all software that uses access the root of your phone can come with problems, although i have not experienced them my self it can still happen.
Apps
1. Rom Manager
Must have app for any root user. Make backups, flash ROMs, and own your device.
ROM Manager is THE MUST HAVE APP for any Android root user. (Over 3 million downloads and counting!)
(You can back up your rom through recover boot)
2. Titanium Backup root
Titanium Backup is the most powerful backup tool on Android, and then some.
You can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links. This includes all protected apps & system apps, plus external data on your SD card. You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. Backups will operate without closing any apps (with Pro). You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card. You can browse any app's data and even query the Market to see detailed information about the app.
3. App Extractor
AppExtractor is a tool which will allow you to restore individual applications, data, SMS, and MMS messages from your ROM Manager backups.
AppExtractor is compatible with ClockworkMod Recovery 5 backups as well as backups created by previous versions of ClockworkMod Recovery.
The process
1. Ok the process. First you will need to backup your whole rom, so go into Rom Manager and click on backup current rom, once it have backed up your rom you phone will reboot. ( Backing up your rom means you can revert back to it if you are not happy with your new rom)
a. You can also do a full rom backup straight from recovery mode (safer), to do this boot into recovery mode (hold - power,home and volume up). Then use the volume buttons to scroll to backup and restore (press power button to select), then click backup, it should start a full back up of your rom for you (2-3 mins to back up), once it has finished click reboot system now. Done - Thanks to MistahBungle for prompting this edit
2. once you have done that go into Titanium Backup and click menu and go into Batch. Then click on Run for Backup all user apps (dont back up system data we will soft that out later), then click run batch operation.
3. You can now flash your new rom, i am not going to tell you how to that.
4. Once your new rom is up and running then it is time to receive all that data, apps, setting, contacts etc.
5. First go to the android market and download Titanium backup and App recovery again
6. now open Titanium Backup and go back into Batch scroll down to restore and click run on restore missing apps with data. ( not all the apps will download as some won't be compatible). There you go most of your apps are now restored with their original data
7. Now go to App Extractor and open that, you will see the choice to restore things like, apps, sms and mms, contacts, wifi etc. Just click which ever you want to restore and then select the correct back up (the one you made with rom manager). You can only restore 5 items a day, and yet again not all you setting and data can be restored because of the different rom types.
8. Enjoy your new rom
If anyone thinks i have missed anything ir has more they would like to add then let me know.
Backing up EFS folder
Ok so backing up your efs folder, i am not expert in this area but everyone should know that this file is very important and rooting and flashing roms could cause it to become corrupt. So the fix trying to keep it as simple as possible like the rest of the guide, you need to download Ktook by Hellcatdroid here is a little somthing from Google Play - Tool for a few functions after rooting. Kernel dump/flash, EFS backup/restore...
/!\ Requires Root /!\
/!\ Works on the >Galaxy S2< and >Galaxy Note< *ONLY* /!\
(i) the "lock pattern bug" is currently being investigated and worked on!
kTool is a small tool originally bundled with Hellcat's Root-Kernel for the Galaxy S2.
It offers a few functions usefull after rooting the device:
- Dump current kernel to /sdcard/zImage
- Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage
- Backup the phone's EFS (sensitive storage are holding the IMEI and other vital data) as a raw .IMG dump and a .tar archive
- Restoring EFS from the raw .IMG or the .tar backup
- Format EFS (create fresh filesystem for cases where you want to restore seperate files or a .tar backup, but the filesystem is stuck/locked in read-only due to corruption)
- Reboot (normal, directely to recovery or directely to downlaod mode)
If you encounter any problems or issues, or if you have any questions or suggestions, visit the release thread on XDA
Some people don't like this app and some like myself love it, as it says above it will only work on Galaxy S2< and >Galaxy Note, but if you check out the thread it might work for other devices.
Other apps

Surely any software that exploites the root of your phone could have problems, although i will make a chasnge to the post adding that you can back up your rom from boot and that all software that uses root access can come with problems.

Everything was going great until I got to the last step, restoring sms(the only thing I cared about) with app extractor. It turned the sreen black and then it went on again, but it didn't do anything else, the sms still were not restored =(

if you ask me titanium back up does the job for it all, and if you want to make sure you get all of your apps back, just backup the apps listed in the data folder in the root of your phone.
And when your on CWM recovery might be better of using CWM manager.

+ lots this. Rom Manager *will* cause you problems if you continue to use it/have it installed with CWM. It will either break CW or cause you bootloops.
Use one or the other.
You may get away with it for a while, but when you least expect it (maybe that time you don't do a Nandroid of your last good config when you should have), it will bite you on the arse.
Edit to add - OP, I like the idea of what you're doing. Great to see a n00b having a bash But if you've rooted your phone with CFRoot or are running a kernel with CW, you're much better off using it to do your Nandroid backup than potentially causing problems with Rom Manager, which is popular because it's *easy* (apparently, I never found anything difficult about using CW). If anyone doesn't like/is too lazy to boot directly into recovery to do backups, use the CWM app. Same diff as Rom Manager without all the dramas. Other than this, good job

Great idea. I love these kind of posts no matter what others say. Knowledge sharing makes people, a better one.
My tips, but here you don't save data and use CWM and Backdrop Root aps only:
1) Do a Nandroid back from CWM.
2) Export Contacts as a VCF file. There is a new program recently Backdrop Root that backup sms, contacts, mms, bluetooth, etc in Dropbox. Try it. There is also a nice program called SuperBackup which does a similar thing.
3) Save your Apps through a File Manager as apk and save in external sd, computer or Dropbox.
4) Forget data... Many people use Titanium but I need to buy it.
5) Install new Rom, restore sms+contacts, install apps from beginning.
Apps extractor in conjunction with Nandroidback would had been the best solution, but unfortunately I didn't get a lot of success with this app.

Thanks i have made some changes based on your recomedation

You are restricted to 5 bits of data a day on app recovery, it could also be a compatible issue.

Whatsup on Nook hd+

Hello all,
Is there any way to go around the Whatsup limitation tbat says that it is can't worked on my tablet?
I've tried a few things but its not working.
Thank you in advance.

Could you be more specific?
About which program you talk? (whatsup gives two results on playstore)
Which things you tried?
The more information the better accuracy of the answers!

Try making a Titanium backup of Whatsapp from your android phone, then send that backup to your tablet and restore it there, both app+data.
An issue you will find is that messages from WA will start coming into the tablet or the phone and you will not be able to have the whole chat in one device. At least that's what I found out and preferred keeping things straight on my phone, because I have it with me all of the time.
Hope that helps.

Solved!
You can read in my personal blog another method. http://pcdemano.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=19761&mode=&order=0&thold=0
It's only need the app SRT:AppGuard to disable telephon android permissions in the WhatsApp instalation.

[Q] Trasnfer app data

Hi Guys I am after some help my note 3 is arriving today and want to know if there is an easy to transfer my progress within apps on to the new phone from an s4 without root also to be able copy home screens as well.
Any help really appreciated

can't think of a easy way, I am on manual reinstallation of apps from web playstore on my PC (good time to review unused apps anyway), and without root there isn't much option on backup and restore i think..
for home screen try to use the backup function of your selected launcher (which not all have it)

You can use Helium Backup that doesnt needs root.

Restoring APP data

Hi,
My old phone was an Galaxy S (i9000) and now I have bougth the Galaxy S 5.
The i 9000 was rooted and I have backedup all Apps + Data to the SD card.
The S5 is new and I dont want to losst the warranty if I Root the phone, so I was wondering if it is possible to Restore all Apps data from the old phone to the new one without root.
Is it possible to do it without a PC?
Thanks,

Titanium Backup should be able to do it, not sure if it needs root though
But also not sure it's a good idea to restore data from a different model phone, which is likely running a different version of Android
You could turn on Google Backup on the old phone, and log into the same G Account on the new S5, and it might restore some things for you that way

Copy the titanium backup folder from your old phone to your new phone. Install TiBu and restore apps&data.
I'd do this by:
1 connect old phone to PC via USB
2 copy Titanium Backup folder from old phone to PC
3 connect new phone to PC and copy Titanium Backup folder to same place on the new phone
4 install Titanium Backup on the new phone
5 restore apps&data
OR
1 in TiBu backup apks and data to SD card
2 put SD card in new phone
3 fire up TiBu and restore backup

If you live in EU you can root and keep your warranty.
Also you can root and keep Knox untouched http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
Or you can try Helium, it's like TiBu but doesn't need root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
