SGS2 + CM9 (20120605) + LPX: Restore Data only using Titanium Backup

It's not recommended to restore Apps/Data from Gingerbread ROMs via Titanium Backup after flashing CM9. Figured I'd give it a try anyway, as I'm not willing to go through the earlier levels of Angry Birds all over again (some are really a PITA).

1. Create backup via ROM Manager.
2. Installed Titanium Backup Free (v5.3.0) via Google Play Store.
3. I'd previously backed up the entire TitaniumBackup folder into my computer prior to flashing CM9. Copy the following 3 files back to the phone (path /sdcard/TitaniumBackup)

  • com.rovio.angrybirds-20120424-190010.properties
  • com.rovio.angrybirds-20120424-190010.tar.gz
  • com.rovio.angrybirds-b8874507e69061fb703245809291f119.apk.gz

4. Open Titanium Backup. In my case, it's already opened before copying the files over, so I had to "Reload application". My guess is "Refresh apps list" should work too.
5. Go to "Backup/Restore" tab
6. Select "Angry Birds 2.1.1"
7. Select "Restore"
8. Select "Data only" (already have application installed)
9. Done.

Restore "Data only"

At least I don't have to start from scratch...
