How do i get back my original Acer Games after flashing my rom?

I liked NFSS and Lets Golf and now i don't have them. lol is there a way to get them back.

if you are using taboonay register on his site and use the online kitchen. If you aren't google the game you want .apk and install it. Most of the games released on tablets are floating around on xda

I know that if you flashed to Taboonay you can go to Vache's site go to the kitchen, select the stock apps you want back and then flash it.
Not sure if this works with other ROMs or what.
[EDIT] Beat me to it, mburke178.

Backup with Titanium before you install new ROM and then restore them back...

Vilian ROM includes them all as stock.

It doesn't work always, I had everything backed up and some apps (or games) cannot be restored after.
I've been able of finding some of the games, but NFSS and Lets Golf are the ones I couldn't get back.

Migrate apps from rooted HTC to unrooted GN3?

Is this possible?
My HTC Dinc2 is rooted, running android v. 2.3.
Helium says it's incompatible with my old phone.
I was hoping to take my time with rooting the Galaxy Note 3, but have a lot of stuff I'd like to transfer over.

If they are Play store apps, they will install when you boot the Note 3.
The data from them however won't be transferred.
The best way (keeping the data) would be to Titanium Backup the apps on an external SD or Dropbox, the install them on N3, but obviously you'd have to root.
If it's the functionality of the apps and the data isn't important then go ahead.

What I'm mainly interested in is restoring the apk/data of apps that are no longer available from the play store.
Backing them up is easy, since the old phone is rooted, but AFAIK, they can't be restored on an unrooted phone?

Do a full backup in Titanium Backup "just in case". Then do another one with Helium:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
(in my experience the program is vastly inferior to Titanium Backup and YMMV but in theory it works on non-rooted devices).

Can't use Helium, since my old phone is on android 2.3.
And how would I use the TB backup on an unrooted Note 3?

The first thing you'd be asked once you launch TB is to grant supersu access. So not possible without root

They may be available in Aptoid.
Try it on your HTC prior to the note.
Won't keep your data - I use it for older versions of apps or ones that have been removed.

Why can't you install the app, this may be a problem if KK is incompatible, copy the data to a PC then transfer to either sd card or internal memory overwriting the base data from the install?
Might take a while but it should work...
Worth a shot....

[Q] Please, Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (uk) Root, Titanium Backup and Link2SD issues

Hi
Please help if you can.
I have a new Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (T330) uk tablet. I also have a huge folder of backup apps from my sons Nabi2 using titanium backup. I just want to put them on the new tablet.
I tried rooting using this thread: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61421937&postcount=4) but it didnt seem to work, it patched ok through Odin but then when I boot to recovery there is no TWRP to use to install the supersu zip file, so it didnt go anywhere.
So
Instead I tried CF Autoroot and it seemed to work perfect.
I did make sure to use the 4.4etc version and not the NU American version, so I believe the file was the correct one for T330
I then installed Titanium backup, its pro key, link2sd and its pro key.
The link2sd aspect seems to work perfect so thats not an issue, all setup as per the Nabi2 and seems fine.
But when I try the restore from Titanium Backup, it gets a little way in and hangs. I tried setting the preference handling to indirect but doesnt help. I do apps only (no data) and doesnt help. Also, some of the time it hangs on different apps, so its not the app causing problems I dont think. I also disabled market link, no help.
So any thoughts on the problem or solution please?
Is it that the backups were from a different tablet, eg the Nabi2? (Reading online suggests moving apps without data across platforms is fine)
or
Is it a bad rom from the CF Autoroot? Any way I can try the original link (which might have failed because mine is the Euro version of the tablet?) instead to do the twrp root?
or
Do I have a bad Titanium backup version form play store right now?
Just dont know.
Also, another complication:
My backup apps total 850 (yes I know its a lot but my son loves them and his autism will not let any be deleted) and I did try install them all in one go from the play store and it seemed to work but on a reboot it hanged, bricked, so I had to re flash original firmware back to factory. Seeing as the slower, smaller 8GB nabi2 has no problem holding the 850 apps so I would be surprised if it turns out to be breaking the limit of the Galaxy Tab 4, but is this possible? There is plenty of internal and SD memory free after the install.
Trying to restore backups to the tablet memory before later moving with link2sd also hangs, so to be that rules out link2sd being the problem.
Please any help? Anything would be appreciated.
My thanks for reading
Alex
PS: I did think that swapping his Nabi2 for a more well known widespread tablet such as the Galaxy Tab would be a good idea as the Nabi2 is getting more scarce, but it seems to have turned into an unexpected nightmare.

Samsung S4 I9505 no Whatsapp backup possible

Hi,
I can't perform a Whatsapp backup since January this year, regardless if Google Drive Backup is checked, if the Whatsapp app is stored in the local or on sd card memory, automatic backups are being cancelled, too.
After I hit "Backup", the Dialogue "Messages are being backed up" shows up, which closes after 10 sec without any error message.
I tried to contact the WA Support, but they insist that my S4 is rooted (which it isn't, maybe because of the custom ROM I use).
I have flashed my Samsung I9505 in January this year from CM 12.1 to CM 13. At the beginning, the phone ran smoothless except BT. After a while, WiFi stopped working as well. I tried to flash the CM 12.1 backup and radios without any success, just a new mainboard helped. I installed my CM 12.1 backup from January via TWRP from my old mainboard, which ran without any errors on it (after a fullwipe on the new one).
The phone works great, except the WA backup.
WA gets always updated to the current version, I have ~1,2 GB free internal memory, I tried to update to the latest CM 12.1 5.1.1 version from 12/26/2015, perform a backup via 4G, 3G, Wifi, with an without Google Backup checked, cleared the cache and wiped Dalvic Cache, there is no app deactivated.
I use Baseband I9505XXUHOD7 and Kernel: 3.4.107-cyanogenmod-gab9afd6clyde.

Running a custom ROM means you are rooted.
Now, I don't know why whatsapp wouldn't work on a rooted ROM, but if you want to backup you can use titanium backup.

There is no root, please check the screenshot below.
Since there is no root, I can't use Titanium Backup, however, it wouldn't be the most practicable way to backup your Whatsapp history every time with Titanium Backup.
Besides that, I don't think this would work if I would like to transfer my history to a new phone on which WA Backup should work as intended as I won't flash the ROM/install root and void the warranty.
WA backup worked perfect with the old logicboard before flashing CM 13.

Root has to be activated from developer options.
That is definitely a whatsapp problem if it worked before.

Well, I haven't even unlocked the developer options until now..
Any idea how to convince WA doing it's job? Anybody with this problem before?

if you really want a backup it makes more sense that you either activate root or flash superSU yourself rather than wait on whatsapp to change their code just for you. they've already told you effectively that they aren't going to do anything for you and don't have to.
backing up the app and data with TiBu and copying the whatsapp folder achieves everything you want and has worked flawlessly for me many many times.

Well guys, got a new phone but the problem persists when trying to restore my history on the new phone and really need your help.
Got root on the old phone and saved the com.whatsapp folder of it with the key file and databases. How can I encrypt the msgstore.db to msgstore.db.crypt8?
I have tried the app Whatcrypt, which creates a msgstore.db.crypt file, as large as msgstore.db, but Whatsapp on the new phone does not recognize it as a backup file.
When using whatcrypt.com and uploading the key and msgstore.db, it tells me "Encryption failed / Incorrect account?"
Also tried Omni-Crypt app. It creates msgstore.crypt, which Whatsapp ignores as well ("searching for Backups" with waiting triangle for hours)
I don't know any other way and I'm literally stuck now

when i mentioned copying the apps folder i was thinking of the one on the root of your internal storage, not the one in Android/data/...
you can paste that onto a new phone and restore the app and data with titanium.

Of course I can copy the Whatsapp folder on the root of the storage but this folder only contains the wa media files of my old phone since there are no msgstore.db.cryptX files created by Whatsapp.
For TiBa I would need to root the new phone which is a S7 Edge and I would like to avoid this until the warranty has expired. It is not as easy to do repairs by yourself as the S4..

fair enough, have you tried copying both folders over and installing from playstore ? or rather, install the app but don't open it, copy over both folders and then try and see what happens...

[Q] Using Titanium Backup Pro to Restore data from my S6. Then maybe freeze stuff?

Ok, so just wanted to check with others here who have used TB for a long time. I do have the pro version. I am just used to being rooted before I restore between one phone to another.
So I have my backups from my S6 and I want to move them over to my S8 now. Cept S8 isnt rooted. Anyone know any potential issues with the new version of android and TB or anything for me to make note of before just blind restoring?
Also The freeze and chuck norris mode. Anyone tried TB for blocking OTA and other bloatware yet on their S8?
Thanks.

There's no root on the s8 so no one tried anything yet, you can try using smart switch to see if it'll move apps with data or use helium since it can handle data also.

Moving apps and data is generally just a recipe for trouble. People often find that things crash or use loads of battery power for no reason when moving apps and settings. It MIGHT work ok, but the safest way to guarantee no hard to diagnose issues is to let the play store reinstall the apps and data that it has saved and then manually reinstall the rest.

Well with TB Restore. Did it HAVE to be rooted to work? Thats the part I cant remember.

It happened the same to me with other phones, I can give you a recommendation:
Try only to Backup USER APPS because the system's app & data are incompatible with other Roms & with other phones.... Just Backup and restore user apps and then you'll have to configure system apps again, because of the incompatibility. Also, there are some apps that can only be used in determined Roms and/or determined Android version (some apps for example, are compatible with Jelly Bean but Incompatible with KitKat or the reverse of this, etc. and so...)

Good news is.. Root is now here.
