I'm about to flash a CyanogenMod rom to my galaxy s5, I have been playing defender 3 for a while and don't want to lose my progress. As far as I know, it's still an offline game. I've switched phones before and lost defender 1 progress. Will titanium backup save the game progress? If not, how can I save my game for use after I flash the new rom?
Make a full twrp backup and save it on your computer or external SD card then flash new rom in the way the dev says for that rom then restore the internal storage partition it should boot as long as there both mm or both lollipop etc

hes got a sprint cdma hero that he is complaning that theres no room to install programs and its slow.
he has a 8gb sdcard in the phone and another spare
today i tried rooting but it appears that the phone is already rooted
installed titanium backup and backed up all his apps to the sdcard
installed sms backup and restore, backed up to sdcard
went to contacts, settins, and exported to sd card
Q. I rooted and custom romed my other buddies phone and not all his contacts were exported. Is there something else i need to do to get all contacts backed up?
Q. i couldent find "Call Logs Backup & Restore" in the market. Do i really need it?
ok so this point i plan on plugging the phone into ubuntu, and copying all the data on the SD card to my laptop. This should backup all his pictures, contacts, craps onto my laptop.
Then i will install clockworkmod recovery from market. Reboot into recovery.
The use ADB to manually partiton the 8 gb SD card
1 - 7.5GB FAT32
2 - 512MB ext4
3 - 32MB swap
Q. Is this sound like a good layout?
Now that the card is partitioned i will install clockworkmod via the market and make a backup of the current system state, just incase he wants to go back to original. and copy the new rom from the laptop to the sdcard
as far as roms / kernels
i am overwhelmed and confused by the choices, he just wants something fast without bugs and without the sprint preloaded crap. But i dont think he wants any fancy custom hacker looking ****, just something plain fast and works.
Q. would cynagonmod be a good choice?
Q. Do i need to load a custom kernel in addition to loading the ROM ?
Q. after the new rom is installed is that when i copy his original sdcard data back to the newly formatted sd card?
sorry about the questions, this is a guy i work with and i wanna show off my leet, but i dont wanna **** his phone as hes goin on vacation soon and needs it to just work. I have a galaxy tab, acer tab, but never messed with a htc phone. i am curious to hear if this sound like the best way to go at it?
thanks

I wouldn't do the swap partition tho. It will kill the SD card in a less than a month. Cyanogenmod and AOSPCMod are good choices and have settings under the Cyanogenmod settings for memory management and caching so the swap partition really isn't needed. It wouldn't help unless it was at least a class 6 sd card too.
fpineda thank you for the prompt reply
Yea, Cyanogenmod 7 is best. Make sure it's the Heroc one. It will say "aospCWMod-HEROC" on the file name, then the version number. Download it and copy it to the root of the microsd card.
I also agree with gophet about partitioning the SD card. Just leave it alone. You won't have to restore any of the data but it's good that you backed it up on the laptop just in case.
Once you install clockworkmod, shut down. Then turn on the phone while holding down the home key. It will put you in recovery.
From there go to "flash zip from sd card" --> and pick the Cyanogenmod. It will take a while but you should have no problems. Also, the first boot will take a long time.
Sounds like you should look into firerating it, if that's even a word.
I tried to post my problem in the ultimate backup tool threads but it wont let me since this is my 1st post. I backed up my nexus 4's data using ultimate backup tool, it took me 4-5 hours to finish ending up with a 7.33 gb backup.ab file.. so Ive been trying to restore my phone since I just rooted it but it has been taking too long more than 4 hours, I check up on my phones storage through the computer and the memory has been getting filled up but for only 3 gbs or so, but nothing new in the folders inside my storage, question is can I cancel this and use another program/tool that can restore my data for me cos the storage has not change for a long time now, if there is can you recommend me one? and will this tool let me know if the restore is done or will just exit out? please help me I need all my data back
Note: I picked to backup everything except the system apps
thanks in advance guys
Hi all,
Looks likely that I am going to get a S4, I will still keep my very much loved S2 but I have a query....
S2 is rooted, Redirection Remix 3.1.1 I also have the full Titanium Backup pro
If I backup all of my apps and data on my rooted S2, save this to my SD card, then put the SD card in the new S4 will I be able to restore all my apps and data to the non-rooted S4?

Why would the GS4 be non-rooted? you can use motochopper to Root the SG4 now. It literally takes 1 minute to root your SG4 now. :cyclops:
You can't use TB without root. Sorry.

Still a little dicey sounding on the 9500 but the 505 has root making it no problem. I would think the 9500 will get solved if it isn't already shortly. Its a good idea to avoid restoring system apps and only restore user apps. This means you will have to go through your various system settings again some of which will be remembered by google depending on your settings, others will not. Google will also restore some of your system data to system apps like gmail but not all of them again depending on your settings. Best to hold on to your old phone until you are sure you have everything transferred across if you haven't done this a lot and know the drill for getting everything. Its very easy to forget something if you aren't practiced at moving on to the next thing.
About to start flashing a custom rom (Aryamod) after more than a year on rooted,xposed Stock 4.3 on my N9005. As you can imagine I filled my 32 GB model to the brim and now I don't know how to back-up all my data on my phone straight to my PC. Something like a recovery image of my entire phone to my PC if ever I screw up flashing. Titanium might be an option but I only have the free version and again I don't have enough space on my phone to back up all my data. Any suggestions?

1- make sure your ? is on.
2- connect your ?to ? with cable.
3- copy & past / drag & move.
Will that back up my app data settings and game progress as well as my passwords and accounts?

When you say you have 'filled' the phone, are you talking Internal or do you mean you filled a 32GB external SD Card?
With TWRP you can easily set your backup (nandoid - i.e. everything) to an extSDCard and then simply copy that zip file to your PC. Later you can Restore only the Data if you want.
Titanium also lets you set your backups to the extSDCard.
If you mean you filled your extSDCard you have multiple options - take out the card and put it in a caddy and then a card reader and simply copy everything to PC. Buy a new and larger card. 64GB hi-speed ones work very well and even 128GB ones are down in price.

I meant I filled my 32 (well, 26 GB) internal and only have a 16 gb external.
hi guys so i wanna try a new custom rom or even go bac to the cynogen 12.1. since i am currently on stock kitkat from a nandroid restore. Was wondering if i go to a custom rom will i have have to back up my images,contacts,sms etc all over again ? or just flash the rom with the normal procedures and i'll be fine ? please someone guide me to the best current rom for our forgotten device by samsung thanks guys for taking your time reading this and helping me
The most mature ROM(for the I9301I) currently is the official CM 12.1, although Project Lucky is pretty stable as well. I would suggest making a copy of SMS history, contacts and call logs - there are many apps on the Play Store for this(I've used Super Backup.) As a rule of thumb it's recommended that you change the backup path to the external SD card in case things go south. Backing up the internal storage isn't necessary (IIRC), but there is always a risk involved when fiddling with the OS, so keep that in mind if you have photos or documents on your phone that you would rather not lose.
TL;DR: Backup is never a bad idea. :good:
Thanks for the reply any ideas how i can back up my images and other files easire ? Because honestly using the normal way of connecting it through a usb and using the normal explorer to back up on internal memory takes agessss
Such is the bane of MTP unfortunately... You can download an FTP server app from Play Store and see if it copies faster via Wi-Fi. Your other option would be copying everything to a folder on your(hopefully fast enough) microSD card and then backing that up, if you have a card reader that is. Good luck!
