Back up game save on EVO (Plants Vs Zombies & Angry Birds)

So like most of you my phone is Rooted an I'm flashing a new ROM every other week or so. Anyway. I got the Amazon App Store released Plants Vs Zombies last week when it was free. Been playing it every day and I am pretty far in the game... I want to flash the new Gingerbread ROM... but I'll lose my save if I do... is there a way to avoid that? Anyway to back up the game saves on just that one game? I'd love to be able to do that with Angry birds too... restarting a game every time I add a new ROM sucks.

Thanks all... hope there is a way.

Use titanium backup. Backup game or program before you reflash and when you restore, it will give you a option to restore app and data.

Oh it lets you back up just one program? I never knew that... I thought it backed up the whole ROM.

Re: Back up game save on EVO (Plants Vs Zombies & Angry Birds)

For an unrooted EVO (stock 2.3.3 GB), is there a way to back up game progress for these games? (yes, I haven't rooted - yet).
I did see apps on the androidmarket that claim to back up angrybirds progress (didn't see one for plants/zombies though). Is there a way to manually copy the relevant files over to an alternate location and restore it after a hard-reset?

Any chance whoever has rooted their phone could just give me the names of the files and locations that the PVZ data is saved? Thanks!

Be careful with Titanium backup and restoring apps + data. It can cause problems.

He should be fine just backing up and restoring the apps and their data, when you back-up system data and stuff is when you're going to run into issues, but apps and their data is fine.
