I dont know how to backup just the angry Birds Saves.
Use titanium backup and just select angry birds or whatever app and data you want.

Except he doesn't have root.....
The adb backup system works, but only as an all or nothing option.
However, I've used an app called angrybirdssync that seems to work ok with all the Angry Birds versions, and doesn't need root:
Play store Link
There is also one called Datasync that works without root for some apps and I've been experimenting with 'saveshare' that uses Dropbox to sync game files..
It's really time Google sorted this out and got a proper sync system working for app data like whispersync for books - it shouldn't be that difficult to implement and if you have an android tablet and phone its a pain having to choose which device to play a game on to retain the save data.

I know it's 3rd party, but this app works really well (if you are rooted): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync.beta

Hi,
Does anyone knows what append with Gameloft games when testing different ROMs?
Is it lose?
Can it be backed up and restored to the new rom?
Thanks
YEs, you have to use Titanium Backup to backup, update your ROM and then restore the backups.

Are you sure this will work ? I don't want to buy a game that I can't use anymore if I decide to switch from one rom to another and I've read that Gameloft have some kind of DRM which block the game.
Thx
If you backup with titanium and copy sd content to pc, you can relax.
Even if you partition your card and change rom, everything will be there once you copy sd content back and restore it: saved profiles, files that you needed to download from the internet...

everything you buy off the market is saved in your account history, kinda like on xbox live so even if you buy a new fone you can still re download all your apps, and even use paid apps on more than one fone
Yes, but only a handful of Gameloft games are on the Market. The rest you can only get from Gameloft themselves, and they only allow a single download.
Regards,
Dave
Yes i'm sure about TB...otherwise i won't be answering.
Plus Gameloft manage most of their games from their website, not the market.
Some users reported that they had such an issue (didn't backup their games...) and they contacted them.
Providing the day/hour and purchase info they got everything back.

Ok thanks for the info.
Just to tell that I've bought nova from gameloft wap store and it is priced 4.5€ instead of 5 using regular gameloft website.
Nova works fine. After having played fps on ipod touch tbh the multitouch is really annoying but this should be ok with time.
Nice game.

I looked for a purchased book but didnt find it. I mainly want to make sure I have it backed up with Titanium Backup before I start trying ROM's.
edit: I want to back up the purchased book, not the Books app.
I would imagine its connected to your Google account. Wouldnt make much sense having to back it up.

This.
Don't back any Google apps up, when you install a new rom/factory reset most of the gapps will be pre installed anyway. Everything is saved in the cloud: P

Thanks, The first thing that came to mind was there might be a limit to the amout of downloads like with music and the 3 download limit.
This brings up the question that I was not trying to backup the actual Books app but the books I purchased.
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.books
They should be located there.

Google maintains a record of everything you buy/download. So long as the Google account remains active, so does that record. That's why it is always better to reinstall an app from the Play Store rather than restore it from TiBU and only use restore for the actual data (don't want to lose your Angry Birds progress). In the case of movies, books and magazines, you can always access those directly via the Play Store. That way you can still get to them even after getting a new device (or flashing a new ROM) and re-initializing your existing Google account.
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is like a thing in google play or an app wich can just save/remember the apps you have each time. I install roms on a lot of android devices but always hate searching my favorite apps and downloading them all again.
Or do I just need to backup the apps in the recovery or something.
Any help would be appreciated

Paid version here as well. (Namely because the paid version offers a number of little things that help a bit, such as SMS, Call Logs, and other settings in XML which is more compatible with being restored on various devices, also there's the extra troubleshooting if you can't seem to get an app restored).
Helium (formerly Carbon) ftmfw! Not only will it let you back up app data only if desired (very useful as it saves space by only backing up the app data e.g. account info, saved games etc) and save backups to the cloud, you can sync app data across multiple devices so you can carry on your Angry Birds mayhem on your tablet right where you left off on your phone. I have the paid version of Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox Pro and Helium and by far Helium is king

After flashing a ROM, I tried installing Titanium Backup and restore my app+app data on a game I got a lot of progress. The only problem is (and this has happened after restoring with other ROMs too), is that when I restore with Titanium backup, that specific app that I restore no longer receives notifications. I tried clearing the cache, but that doesn't work. I tried removing game, and installing directly from play store, and notification receive just fine. But if I install the APP DATA from titanium backup, the notifications stop working.
I don't want to have to start all over again and beat hours of levels just for notifications.
Any fix on this?
any update, please?
Sounds pretty buggy to me. My guess is that the game might have been storing data somewhere it shouldn't have been (and therefore TiBu missed it?).
To be clear, after installing from the market, you're only restoring the Data part (not app & data)? Your post seemed pretty clear, but just checking.
Further, I suggest, looking through all the settings in the game itself and see if something got reset within the game. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas, sorry.

I've tried both. I've tried restoring App+Data via TiBu. I've also tried installing from the market and only restoring the data portion.

I've tried switching off/on the notification setting in game. Still doesn't notify me unless I manually open the game. The game is called "Super StickMan Golf 2". I've gotten so far and I don't' want to have to do it all over again. Especially since it's multiplayer and the skills you've earned carry with you into multiplayer sessions.
TB messed my textplus notification as well.

It's weird because some apps work that TB restored. For example, I also restored SnapChat with TB, and those notifications work perfect. Except other applications don't (like SuperStickManGolf 2) unless they are installed fresh from the market.

You'll find that tibu is far from perfect. It takes longer, but I almost always restore apps from the store after flashing. There are a few I know tibu will restore and I selectively restore those and get the rest from the store. Also, don't restore system data.

It almost makes TiBu worthless if you can't (or preferably shouldn't) restore the app's data from it. It's too bad they don't have a fix for this. Again, all my other apps (+notifications) work from TiBu's restore (app+data), except Super Stickman Golf 2. ARGH...
If someone finds a fix for this, I'll marry them.... forever
This just happened to me as well but to all restored apps that have notifications. I tried restoring with helium and the same thing happened. Reinstalling the app fixes it. Pretty odd.
Anybody ever find a solution to the SSG2 notifications?
Not willing to lose my single player progress but would love to get those multiplayer notifications working again...
@kalmoa Notifications on this game are jacked in general it seems like. I've started over from scratch and still receive no notifications anymore. Every now and then I'll get one with no rhyme or reason. Sooo annoying.
I just got the XPE 2015 today and can't get these two app to work. Clash of Clan is just stuck at a blank dark screen. I already install the app/ reboot the phone several time.
Hitman Sniper isn't working either. The app launches but get stuck at 100% installation. I am serious thinking about returning if I can't these super popular game to work on a brand new phone.
Clash works great on my Moto xpe ... Not sure what might cause that... Are you dl on Wi-Fi or mobile network? Sometimes mobile causes errors

It's a simple game that works on $50 phone. I don't see why the hell XPE is giving me so much trouble. I did root it but I don't see how that has anything to do with it.
Works fine here since day 1.

Found the root cause but I can't fix it. I convert facebook to system app by mistake, STUPID of me but it happened. I try to uninstall it using system app remover apps but that only removed the APK file but the phone still thinks it's still installed. I go to Play Store, I don't see any option to uninstall, just disable. Not sure what to do next now.

TB can't remove FB but I was able to do a restore from backup. Now FB app works and the games also works.
