Has anyone managed to install Whatsapp on their tf300?
Try backing it up on your phone with Titanium Backup, copy the backup file to your tablet and restore it there.
Did just that. It wont come out properly. The app just wont show up.
Ok, how about this - get the apk of WhatsApp from your phone and put it on your tablet and install it. Then go to Titanium Backup and just restore data from the backup you made on your phone.
This is what I've done (just remembered this now, thought you just had to copy the backup and restore it) when I was experimenting with Android on my netbook a couple of months ago and it worked
The app actually checks if it's a tablet trying to run it. Prolly need to dig out the manifest and change it since that has nothing to do with user data and can not be altered via titanium or any other backup tool.
Works for me! (see the attachment)
Here's what I did:
- copied WhatsApp's apk from my phone to the tablet
- made a backup of WhatsApp in Titanium Backup on my phone
- installed WA from the apk I just copied on the tablet
- copied the 3 files Titanium Backup made for WA's backup from the phone to the tablet (obviously you need to put those files to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup)
- ran TB on my tablet, only restored data for WA
- ran WA and it worked

can you do this with a non rooted phone?
Does the phone used have to be the one you want to send the whatsapp messages from?
how do i copy the apk?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
No, you need root on your phone as Titanium Backup won't work otherwise. The apk is in /data/app, but you'd also need root to access that folder.
You'd need a backup made on your phone, since WhatsApp uses your phone number to send/show messages. If someone else would send you their backups, you'd see their messages and would send messages in their name as well, so that isn't a possibility.

Thanks. it's a shame. i Haven't rooted my xperia play. Would it work if i inserted my sim card into the rooted phone?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
Probably. If you do that, check if WhatsApp shows your conversations and you should be good to go.

where can i find the apk? I know you said data/app but how do i even get to that folder?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
You'll need a file browser that can go to the root "folder" (not sure if that's the right expression, hah) your phone, like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, as the data folder is there.

Got it working thanks a lot Yeah I forgot to install the app first before actually trying to restore data.
@ w3by Thanks!!! Successfully installed!
I think i know the answer to that, but i'm going to ask anyway...:silly:
there's no way of copying my WA files the same way from my iPhone to
my TF300...right?
so just wait for a supported version, should it even be released...?
thanks
That I don't really know because its an Iphone. I never use apple products. But if its an android to android thing then something can be done
it works quite easy but you can only use it on one device otherwise WA bugs you do death with verifying your phonenumber.
if you backup with TB all i needed to do is restore it and it worked - but my gnex was also running it at that time so both devices went bezerk with the verifying your number. i killed it on my gnex and used the sms verify and WA worked like a charm on my tf300 - tho since i use my phone on the road mosty i deleted it again on the tab - but it definetly works - tho ofc updates will have to copied over via TB backup since the playstore wont update it (same with LBE privacy guard - not available for tabs but works the same)
cheers
PS: for iphone:

get the apk for your tab and enter your phone number and get the sms actication us the pin you get by sms and enter it on your tf300 - bear in mind tho that you still face the same probs i mentioned above- WA cant be used by more than one device simultaniously
(it goes without saying that you prolly should install with TB - so you need root)

I heard Splashtop came free with the Asus pad. Yup, I accidentally deleted it but want to get it back. How would I get it again without paying for it? It is an expensive app.
Thanks.
Have you tried doing a factory reset? If that doesn't work, try re-installing the OTA via the stock recovery. You can look @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452933 for information about the OTA. If that doesn't work I will create a backup of the Splashtop/Mycloud app so you can restore it using app backup or titanium backup.
Blackmarket that's how I got mine
Go to MyCloud on your tablet. Its there.
Edited cause I'm blind. Found the app.

I'm currently playing Dead Space and Mass Effect on my android tablet. I'd like to be able to play the games on my phone without having to start over. Does any one know of a good way to sync the game saves between the devices?

I would try Ti Backup Pro, I use it to sync my data saves to my Dropbox or Google Drive, then both device have access to the same data. Install the app normally though just restore the data...Of course both have to be rooted I think to properly save data like that.
Good Luck,
jerems
I've not rooted my phone yet but will do that tonight and give it a try.

This is a better solution:
Root both devices
Download DirectoryBind (from XDA)
Install Dropbox (I'm sure you already have it, but if you don't use my link and we both get free space)
Create a link between your dropbox folder and the gamesave folder (so effectively, the save is sent to the dropbox folder instead. Whenever the game looks for the save it thinks it's finding it in the usual location, but instead it's on dropbox)
Do the same for both devices for effortless saving between devices
(I have a similar script setup for my PC game saves )
I finally got round to rooting my phone last night. I gave directory bind a try. I have set it up on the phone and the tablet. everything seems to be syncing fine however the game progress isn't syncing. Am I wrong in thinking that the game saves will be in the data folder for the game? for instance
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.deadspace_row/files/published/data
Thanks

Where is the save file located for mass effect? I could not find it in the eagames folder in the android directory. Would it be possible to take the save file from my phone and add it to my tablet for mass effect? I don't need it to sync but i gamed on my phone but now that i have a nexus 7 i would like to do all my gaming there.
any help or suggestions without rooting both? Additionally, a few of my nexus 7s have had screen lifts so I may be getting them replaced with google. I would also be filling to just transfer the mass effect save file from nexus7 to nexus 7
thanks,
Brian
Try to use MY BACKUP or MY BACKUP PRO. you can backup the game and the data and than copy it into your tablet and restore it... Done...

this works without rooting? I only ask without trying because i'd need to buy the pro version to try it.
Yes it works without root...

Hi there, first time poster so I'm hoping for good luck
I need to transfer my saved game from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7 tablet. This is a one-time only transfer (I don't need to be going back and forth between devices). Is there any way to accomplish this for Deadspace without root and without paying for the pro version of an app?
My other option is to root both devices but I would then have to immediately unroot the Galaxy Nexus (And I'm still not clear on whether there is some secret way Verizon can tell that I have rooted my phone in the past).
Thanks for all your help!
i want to back up app data only (like progress of game, settings of app)
i can use the built in asus app backup to do this, but i want to restore data on other devices, not just asus devices, so i need another solution. and for some reason, the built in asus appbackup cannot back up temple run game progress (i tried riptide gp and it restored successfully, anyway like i said i don't want to use this built in app although it's cool )
i tried titanium backup (free version) but it backs up the app AND app data, which is unnecessary (at least for me)
please suggest an app, thanks
[i'm rooted]
TB should do the trick, shouldn't it?

You can back up both, but if you want, you can restore just the data or just the app

i know, but i don't want to backup app + data, i just want data only,
because it takes a long time to back up app + data, for example: i'm playing riptide on my tablet, i want to back up data, upload to dropbox, go to my phone, i can just download the app data and restore it, then continue the riptide progress,
i don't want to back up both app + data, it takes a long time to back up and upload, and is not necessary, if you're on 3G or 4G you're just wasting your cellular data.
so except the built in app backup, no other app can do this? really?
I don't know if I'm missing something but I have titanium pro linked with my Dropbox and when I back up an app that I've played and sync with Dropbox, I then go to my phone, copy and paste the titanium folder from DB into gs3 then point the titanium on gs3 to that folder and still it will show no backups under that app. I cannot find a solution anywhere. Anyone? Thanks

Hi. Yeah it is a problem with the game compatibility on Google Play. Nothing we can do until EA decides to update the app to work correctly on TF 201. I really hope they do update the app to work with this tablet. Owners of the TF201 have lost all official support from ASUS so I hope devs don't drop support on us either.
Random thought, couldn't you download the game to another device that you have rooted and TiBu on, do a backup of the app then restore it onto the 201?

I've found what the incompatibility is all about..
dowloaded the apk from zipfiles and installed the game. when you first start the game you have to give a username but the game does not like the attached keyboard so everything locks up.
If you do the first start without the keyboard attached you can fill in the username with the onscreen keyboard and after that you can play the game either with or without the keyboard attached.
So the only problem is initial startup,thats it. Game works perfectly on the TF201

Wait so how exactly do you download the apk? Is there a safe website to download the apk and sideload it? Because I don't want to download an infected virus app. Also does the tablet need to be rooted? Mine is currently non-rooted and stock.

All I will say is that I downloaded the apk from a site one might usually go to for torrents. Some sort of inlet where buccaneers might hang out. My device is not rooted and runs stock firmware. The apk installs fine, and the app runs fine. Is it safe? Who knows? Personally, I think I will uninstall it and wait for them to update it for my device. If it did have bad malware, the damage may already be done.
I founded the game in the web before being released for Android. I had to copy the files to the proper location and worked fine ever since. Best game ever. Maybe updates cannot be applied but no problem for me. I can send you a link via pm. I have it in my Dropbox, no funny bussines nor fake.
