gaming with same data on different devices - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

say, i wanna play gta 3 on my phone and after a while i switch to my tab and go off where i left off with my phone
is there any app or way that shares the same game data on different devices?

If you're rooted you could copy the data folder from /data/data/ then blue tooth it, then paste it.

thats a bit to much work to do all the time, isnt there any cloud service that does this?

If you created a backup via twrp or titanium it's quite easy to get back your saves. They're usually stored along with other data in /data/data/name.of.app
If you restore that, they will more than likely come back. If you're restoring from TWRP, then it's nothing more than a tar file which you can open in WinRAR, 7-zip, or any other qualified archiver. I'm not sure if the newest TWRP (1.1?) stores backups in this way since it does them a bit different and aren't compatible with previous versions, but it is worth a try!

Transfer app data from Android to another Android

I don't plan to switch phones anytime soon, but it would be good to know for the future.
Is there a way to transfer the data from apps from one Android to another? This is especially useful for games with saved data inside the phone, such as Angry Birds or Temple Run.

You can use the application titanium backup, the paid version sports bulk operationand us Hyatt want you need, although it's not recommended to use it across Android versions
Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
Or MyBackup. Backup all your appa and it will create a folder on your sdcard with all your applications u backed up!
The savefiles is not available for every games, just some games futures savefiles that are on the sdcard also. You just have to check if your games got savefiles (try searching for the game name on the sdcard and see if there is some extra files).

Sync game saves between phone and tablet.

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?
Thanks

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

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!

Ideas for a killer android app

Hey I am kinda bored so I want to try app developing, I want to make something useful and gets many downloads such as root explorer or titanium backup. Could you guys toss some ideas this way?

You do realize that developing apps isn't just something you can do in a few hours right? And those apps that get hundreds of thousands of downloads have entire companies behind them?

If I had an idea for an app that would get 100,000 downloads, why would I share it?
I know how to make apps, i have made quite a few for personal use. Because maybe they have a brilliant idea and they don't know how/can't code, we can team up.
I've always wanted to make a better First Responder app.
How about an app that steams movies from the pc while on the go..one that a lot cheaper than vlc direct and one that easier to set up

I know you say you have enough, but here is a request I hope would be easy... An app that would allow a long press on the volume buttons to change tracks from the current music app in use. Example, I use power amp, the HTC music app, and doggcatcher for podcasts. But most roms I can only use long press for the HTC music app. If possible, I would be grateful.

That isn't possible as an app, and even if it is, it would hog up a lot of battery running in the background, you would need a new rom or tweak to accomplish that

I would like for an app to top me off in the morning and make me a cup of coffee.
I would like to see an app like Boot manager, since is no longer supported and I personally have trouble making dual boot on my phone with that app (bot loops). I heard it has something to do with jb.

No I meant without the need of root access. Titanium Backup without the root access is what I'm talking about. Not every user understands rooting. I'm talking about a simple app with a click of a button just like iCloud.
But I'm guessing save datas are stored in a rooting access required location am I right? If thats the case, then only Google can come up with something.
if you are still accepting ideas..
have you seen the google glass' video that says how it feels like to wear google glass?
try making something based on that model, like the camera viewfinder is our eye and we say to give commands. Let's say we speak "what's the weather" and it shows the weather in viewfinder just like it is shown in video. other features can also be implemented.

Best restore apps method?

Upgrading to new roms is a pain, because it takes a lot. For people who work or italian students that have to study 229 pages of literature for the next week, this is often a pain.
I am looking for the quickest way to put all my stuff on a newer rom (im on 4.1.1 stock rooted, gonna upgrade to foxhound)...ive searched the web and fastest way seems to be titanium backup...that's good and all...but it doesnt convince me too much.

Data only from Nandroid yes .
Flash new rom boot recovery restore data only works 99% of the time .
Only problem can be the odd app conflict or a conflict if you move from ICS to JB .

Could do that with a micro sd, plus in italy internet connections are low speed, so it would be a total waste of time and broadband to have it sync thru wifi...

I believe titanium backup pro is best method, cause restoring just data on foxhound made it crash.

yeah, or you could do it with a click of a button, see which one's more convinient.
Local syncing does not use any traffic, it syncs locally.
but if you've already made up your mind I guess there's no point in asking.

Titanium back up I believe it does one app at the time and then I have to keep on giving it permissions, is it just me? Nandroid back up is an "image" of the actual ROM, data, settings etc. so if you try it, you would go back to previous rom, etc.
