Game progression lost after Titanium Backup restoration?! Backup inefective?! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
Okay, so... I've been sticking to SlimBean for the past month or so, and I decided to move to Omega v13 (which is based on latest Samsung update, MJ5) just so my camera awesomeness would come back...
Of course, I used Titanium Backup pro to backup all of my applications and games so all would not be lost and restored all of them once I moved to the new ROM.
Now... it appears that some of my apps were not backup`ed / restored properly. Temple Run 2 and Plants vs. Zombies 2 are two perfect examples. It's like I just installed the apps, so of course, I am greeted with the tutorials and such...
I tried re-restoring the backup and it's still the same.
I think it's got something to do with the fact that the backup was taken on an AOSP-based ROM which is slightly different than TW when it comes to mount points or the locations where specific apps are installed? Please help to guide me through how I can avoid issues like this in the future... if anyone can.

I did install the app and fixed whatever there was to be fixed... but Temple Run 2 and Plants vs Zombies 2 are still at 0% progress
I flashed SlimBean again. The same backup with Titanium that was taken on SlimBean, now doesn't restore game progress properly for those two games. :crying:

Weird! That fixer worked for me! Just saying, you need to run the app after restoring what you need, not while restoring, not before.

After, I know.
Well then... I'll stick with SlimBean and hope Titanium team fixes it.
I intend to sell this piece of ***p when the Nexus drops, anyway.

Argen2Stone or freezing Blur manually ???

Dear All
I recently bought the MM2, I wonder if I should install the Argen2Stone v1.9 ROM or manually freeze the blur apps according to the below list? My goal is to have the phone run as fast as possible. Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10800001&postcount=26
I went with Argen2Stone and I don't regret.. it's quite fast, looks better, battery lasts more, etc. Can't wait for 2.0
I just froze everything I do not need and use Launcher Pro Plus and the phone is super speedy.
what packages did you freeze? and did you titanium backup to freeze them?
thanks

I did use Titanium Backup and the list of freezable apps is in the forums, you would need to search for it.

You can find the answer in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855514
I just try to freeze the app on the list and replace the HK/Taiwan 2.2 version into UK 2.2.2, then I got a speedy MS2
After using an earlier version of Argen2Stone and getting issues, I went back to stock ROM and froze all the useless apps with Titanium Backup Pro.
Works fine in stock setup (I'm much happier with the phone in stock setup now) and the battery is reasonable.
Hopefully, one day, if the bootloader is unlocked, we'll get CM7 or sth like that

Problem wth MIUI :(

Hello all , i have a big problem with every MIUI ROM from 1.7.x to 1.8x :/ , sometimes when i am listening to music and unlock my screen , some things immediately stop working.Music wont play , its shown that the song is played but its not , sometimes just force closes , Lockscreen doesnt work , 4-Way Reboot Mod doesnt work , Calling People also doesnt work , i am on MIUI 1.8.5 v.3: by MrGarark , did a full wipe before flashing , just restored my SMS/MMS/Contacts with MyBackUp. Any Help ?
Hi there,
I have been using MIUI ROMs since right back at the start of 1.7xx series and so far I haven't experienced any of the problems you've identified?
As a suggestion...I would try doing another full wipe and re-installation and see if the problems persist.
Cheers,
Jaybo

I've had a lot of problems restoring SMS/MMS/Contacts through titanium backup when moving to new roms. I recently installed MIUI and kept getting constant FC's after restoring my SMS/MMS/Contacts, so it could be a similar issue with MyBackUp?
Maybe try a full wipe, reinstall then test everything before restoring any backups.
Try Honey3D sense 3.0, everything's working, battery life is awesome, it's been 2 days since I charged my phone and I am still left with 20%. European ROMs rock, Chinese ROMs suck based on my experience.

MIUI has better battery life than Honey3D, a lot better, I know this from personal experience. Besides, Honey3D has been discontinued so its pointless if its not going to receive any updates in the future.
Anyway, back to the OP...
I am having no issues at all with 1.8.5 v3 but I was having similar problems to you when flashing 1.7.29 last week, it was fine until I restored my settings, contacts, etc, that's when it started with the problems
Sent from my Desire HD loaded with MIUI using the XDA Premium App
I'd wipe all the caches, dalvik included and then reinstall the rom followed by a permission fix. Good luck and don't give up.
Try not to stick with one ROM.. try different Roms. Evaluate which ones better suits you. I think it's very biased to say which Rom is the best. It all depends on personal use how ya use. Some devices may not handle the same way as others.
I have used MIUI . It's very fast ROM. But still have alot of bugs because its beta version not stable. version. Secondly I don't like it's iPhone look.
But it's good to post your query under Rom development so other users and developer read it.
Nonetheless I don't have good experience with battery life either. Again it all depends on different devices.

Restoring data over different roms is not recommended, especially when changing from sense to aosp rom due to different system architecture.
For those who are upgrading from 1.7.x to 1.8.x, as stated above, simple cache and dalvik cache wipe is enough. But due to some users experiencing problems in upgrading, simply back up the data using miui backup app, and restore it over fresh installed rom.

I had a similar problem, what I found was when restoring b/u from MIUI backup that's when everything went wrong. I did a wipe and factory reset then loaded MIUI, I then reverted to my Titanium b/u and have had no more problems. I think for me the problem was the miui backup causing all the forced errors.

Custom Rom and Applications

Hi all,
A quick question from a newbie. I upgraded my SGS to XXJVQ stock rom. Now games like Asphalt 6 and modern combat sandstorm are not running. They crash at the start of the application.
So the question is, do these games work good with any custom ROM.
If they do, would you kindly point me to the best recommended stable ROM.
THANKS
Did you do factory reset after upgrade?First backup apps and contacts then factory reset then restore or clean apps install from begining.
Hope it helps
I did, but with no luck
i now have F1 rom based on XXJVP or something rom.
but still having the same problem
I just upgraded to XXJVR "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200177"
to fix the crashing issue.
But its still the same.
does any one else have the same problem ... its not a hardware issue is it?
I have no problems with all games and apps with the Criskelo ROM . Try it
Have you tried to go into manage apps and clear data for those games?

Yes ... that didnt work either. I downgraded it back to 2.2.1 to fix this issue. but that didnt help either.
Now im back at 2.3 XXJVQ. same situation. Please help
I think i figured out the problem ... The games that i downloaded were trial on 2.1 Eclair when i got the phone and i was trying to run them on gingerbread.
I didnt get them running coz i had to buy the latest version. But other free games from the market place are working.
Sorry

Can be rom/kernel related issue. It used to happen to me too when I was on C-Rom v.6.6 or v.7.1.
I've switched to Carbon Rom and now have no problems at all.

Actually...no. DroidX is correctly using an existing thread to discuss a similar problem. Making a new thread to discuss the same thing would be redundant and it against XDA rules. DroidX PROPERLY mentioned having the same issue in 'your' thread. He is trying to help come up with a solution by narrowing down what the common issues between your phones are. That is how XDA works.
Let XDA work.
As for your problem there is far too little information about what is going on with your phone to give you any kind of accurate help. But I'll give it a go...
Is this only happening when playing graphics intensive games?
Are you running a custom kernel? What governor?
Do you have any under or over volting going on? That could cause a hardware fault on a graphically intensive game.
Do you get the same result on a different ROM? (Try installing any other rom quickly and running Clash of Clans. See if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you have a ROM or Kernel problem)
How about if you plug the phone in while playing? (Don't do this regularly. You'll melt it) Does the phone reboot while plugged in? If no, then it could be a battery problem. Is the battery visibly damaged? Any swelling on the casing?

Without reboots
I am not very good at Custom ROM Update! if THE 10.2 is Brocken can You pls help me updating to example : cm11 ?
There are a thousand guides on how to install CM around here.
The short version is
backup your current ROm in recovery.
Back up all your data with Titanium or Helium or something
wipe system, data, cache, dalvik in recover
install new ROM
restore your data using Titanium or Helium or something
It's not hard. Find a guide that will walk you through it in more detail.
It sounds like that one game has an error that is overpowering the phone. If the phone hardware gets overtaxed it'll reboot itself to protect itself.

Try a different ROM.
It could also be a hardware fault. (Though Id' expect you to see the glitch on other games if that were the case)
It could also be a glitch in the game itself.

Alright...then continue to enjoy having the problem.
You don't have to switch to another rom for daily use. Just flash a new rom. INstall your game. And play it to see if the problem persists. If it does, either the game is broken or your phone is. Nothing you can do in either case.
If it doesn't persist, then the rom or settings you have now is the problem.

Backup the apk, copy OBB file to sd card then uninstall if it was installed in your phone. Use root explorer and install it as a sytem app then move again the OBB to enternal. Reboot, then run the game, if still FC install your backup MC5 APK over it then run the game. If still persist maybe a rom problem. I am using GPE rom my phone I9505. It also Run smooth on CM12 official nightly. All above steps works for me, hope your too.:good::good:

Hi,
If the problem persists after trying the suggestion on previous posts. Best would take a logcat and report it to Gameloft .
