[Q] can't figure out how to restore to secondary account on tablet - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

here's the problem I'm having. My daughter has an old phone that she plays minecraft on. We recently got a new tablet (N7!). My google account is the primary on it but she has her own account on the tablet so we can share but not mix our data/apps. Is there any way I can transfer her minecraft app/world/data from the phone to the tablet?
Thanks!

You could use a backup app to transfer. When I went from a nexus 7 2012 to 2013 I used titanium backup to restore all my data. You could also maybe google what files the world data is and copy that file to the same place on the tablet. Those would be my guesses.

Have you ever restored to a secondary account on a tablet? That seems to be the big issue I'm encountering.

no, I jsut got the nexus. The primary account on it is my own. I want to restore to a secondary account that shares the tablet with me.

OK got it. So the account doesn't get added or throws an error message? Or does it seem to get added but you can't access it. Oh wait. You want to restore apps from it. Right?

Titanium backup to Google Drive?

I was wondering how to put my titanium backup on Google drive or whatever cloud. Does it do this automatically if I enabled drive in preferences or does I need to do something more?

1. Enable Google Drive under settings.
2. Go to Google Drive settings immediately underneath this option. Specify where you want the backups to go and what you want backed up to Drive.
3. Once everything is set up, go to Schedules and run the sync to Google Drive.
You can set up your automatic backup schedules to automatically sync to Drive using the 'When finished:' field.
When I go to schedules and try to backup to Drive it starts the process then force closes

I use dropbox or box.net. haven't had much luck with Google drive with TB. On ICS, sync to google drive will halt half way through the process and never recovered. Haven't tried TB sync on JB, as others have reported FCs already. The 50Gb offer may have ended, the 5Gb storage from box.net is still very handy when it comes to system backup with TB.

Dead Tigger Titanium Restore.

Posting this here since I'm working on the N7, although I had the same issue when going from ICS to JB on the Kindle Fire.
I've done a backup of all my current apps I had on My Kindle Fire and restored them to the the Nexus 7 using Titanium Backup and Airdroid.
All the apps I've tried so far has been good, Dead Trigger though goes back to the very beginning.
I have a of of time and some actual money in that the game. I need to restore. Can't find any info on what I'm doing wrong.
Help Please!

Dead trigger stores its data in /sdcard/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger/. Copy that whole folder to the same location on the new device. Other games store their data in /sdcard/Android/data, so look there for other any future apps that give you the same issue.
Good luck,

thanks. Copied the entire folder, there was only one large. obb file, copied it over. No go. Even checked the md5 to make sure .
Really? I just backup with TB and then restore. After I launch the app, it downloads the 115 mob again and my save is good to go. But I'm not going from ICS to jb. Hm.

So I discovered this the other day. If you create a account with them in the safehouse you can back up your game with them and restore it at any time. You just have to beat the first level.

I believe the in game backup to the server is a new feature, from reading the change log,.
I'm using that now. I just started over last time.

recover deleted photos

I deleted photos from my gallery (sprint gnex). Is there a way to recover them?
Nope. The internal storage can't be mounted as UMS so normal "deleted file recovery" tools don't work.
From now on use Google+ instant upload or Dropbox instant upload so you don't have to worry about it anymore. You can have it only upload on WiFi to save your data plan also.

You will have to root but it is absolutely possible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34185439
You can recover deleted photos from android phone gallery, see this solution that helped me before: android photo recovery
It is easy to follow, so try it.
@slyd0997 I used the app DiskDigger and search /system and /userdata partition and i found all my deleted photo
Recovering deleted photos
I have accidentally deleted some photos on my Nexus 7(2013). I have been trying to attach the Nexus to the computer and make it appear as a disk and not a media device in order to scan and retrieve the photos.
I have turn developer mode on and switched usb debugging on. However the computer will not find the correct drivers for my Nexus (win 7).
SO i am stuck! All recovery software need it to appear as a disk otherwise they don't recognize it.
Today i have installed SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT but it will not work! (i thought about getting the right drivers i need)
I keep getting the black screen for a second and it closes.
As far as i can tell My Avira doesn't block it.
I wanted to get help but i am not allowed to post questions on the original skipsoft thread.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE??? :crying:

Why not just buy Titanium backup, and never worry again. Definitely with its price tag.

Titanium might have some trouble with it, since they store their data a little differently.
The saves are at:
Sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtavc/files
It's nice that they do it this way because you can easily move and copy your saves without rooting. I set up Dropsync to sync my saves between my 2 android devices.

[Q] (Q) How do i Transfer over games saves?

I just bought the 2013 Nexus 7 and downloaded all my apps. How do I port over my CSR Racing and Real Racing 3 saved progress from my Nexus 7 2012? I have spent hours and hours playing these 2 games not to mention made in app purchases i don't wanna start all over. I don't have a FB signing in via social media isn't an option.
If there's any app that'll do the job quick & easily it'll be Titanium Backup. Backup app+data from the old and restore on the new.

Doesn't one of the new google services transfer over saved game data also.

Copy the respective data folders from your old nexus' sd card, and paste them in the right place on the new nexus.
If there are any additional folders, google them, and find them in your old nexus and paste them here too. I did it in Raging Thunder game I used to play on my old Desire, and even Smash Cops Heat, though I don't play them anymore, they worked back then with all data intact..
Easy peasy
open titanium backup> backup those games> plug your nexus 7 to the PC, and get the folder in sdcard/titaniumbackup, then plug your new nexus 7 and transfer the folder to it.
now open titanium backup in your nexus 2013 and restore the games.
First thing we need to know is if you are rooted or not. Titanium and many other backup apps only work if you are rooted.

Titanium is a real arse in my case. Hugely messy, and doesn't seem to wok in my case. i've tried it on two devices, my old desire and new nexus, but it seems to like being stuck. Often used to cause bootloops on my old Desire, and now doesn't work on my new nexus, so I've ditched it, and I'm using other methods for that.

If you have helium on both devices, you can sync the data of any app between the two. Works great.
