Hey Ppl
Someone who knows about the "save games" from Gameloft are stored on the device's memory or on the SdCard?

Just very good and wide
I´ve talking with gameloft today and they say the saved games are stored on the phone memory and not the sdcard memory (working only with Android 2.2)
X10 saves games are store on SD, in '/sdcard/gameloft/' and then the specific game folder.

Why do you need to? If you are restoring your phone or something titanium backup will keep you at same state in all your apps

Gameloft games dump a lot of data onto your SD card, which I don't think Titanium backup touches - I discovered this when my phone crashed and rebooted whilst playing Dungeon Hunter, which corrupted the files it stores there (mainly graphic & sound files). Once the game restored these files from the Gameloft server I found I'd lost my savegames too. Tried to use Titanium Backup to restore what it had (probably wouldn't have my most recent saves, but would have grabbed older files), I found it didn't restor any save data.
HunteronX is right dong, the files are saved on your SD card.
Citat mail from Gameloft:
Hello
Games from Gameloft are saved on the internal memory on the device, also saved games are also saved directly onto the devices internal memory

Actually HunteronX is right. Have a look at your sd card & see.
(On 2.1 at least... haven't tried other roms)

the game files are saved on the sd card, but the save states are saved to internal memory. I'm 100% positive as I've switched roms many times and had to start game from the beginning due to not saving the apk+data, only the apk
Oh, now I see- the Gameloft games just have game data (sounds,sprites,etc) on the sd card. Saving is internal, I had them confused with Camelgames (Shoot U etc) that save on sd.
Got it.
I think u find it in data/data/com.gameloft.android."name of the game" on the internal memory.
Click on it and then copy the folder/file named data.sav
I found Lets Golf save files that way.
Hope this helps...

You rigth... I found all saves of my gameloft games in there.
Was revisiting some old android gameloft games, specifically The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR), and wanted to backup my save data, as it has been about 10+ years since this thread was created, things have changed a bit with Android 13, and it is similar but slightly different.
The following path is roughly where you can expect to find the save data for old gameloft games on Android 13 (not sure about modern ones):
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.gameloft.android.GAMENAMEORWHATEVER
Replace GAMENAMEORWHATEVER with what ever the short name they used for the game may be, for example for TDKR on android it is
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftKRHM
For reference, inside that folder there are a few .dat files (a.dat, b.dat and so on) and I just backed all those up elsewhere then deleted them from the path above and started the game. As I suspected the save data was not shown by the game anymore since the files containing it were gone. When I put the .dat files back in the same directory the game recognized my save data once again so I confirmed that is where TDKR stores the save data at least.
Hope this helps anyone else that may happen to stumble upon this thread like I did in the near future.
SOLVED: not possible with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. The only way is to use Titanium Backup, and better than that, Nandroid Backup. You can as well extract data from a Nandroid backup with Titanium Backup.
---------------------
I have a Nexus S and I wonder if, with the option Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Background data & Auto-sync & Manage accounts (sync is on) the settings and savegames are automatically stored "on the cloud", let it be my Google account or similar, because I don't have a rooted phone and don't want to do that to preserve warranty.
So, the apps for wich I want to save data are:
Air Penguin
Angry Birds
Angry Birds Rio
Angry Birds Seasons
ArmySniper
Clouds & Sheep
Dolphin Browser HD
eBay
EGGGZ
Flight Director
Jewellust
Jewellust Xmas
Labyrinth
MultiGrain
X Construct
Nope. But some of the game data are saved in SD like x construction.

Yep, but the SD is internal in Nexus S, so formatting the phone leads to data deletion.
Seriously, didn't Google think of this big issue when developing Android? At least the iPhone has a real complete backup...
You can use Dropsync to backup save games to dropbox. Most games should use "SD card" for save game storage(does not need to physically be an sd, just mounted as one, as in the nexus devices).

Nexus s has separate storage. Rom and SD is separated!

Doesn't matter anyway, I use now Titanium Backup and ClockWorkMod Recovery to do backups so it's done.
I use Titanium too, don't want to 2nd guess which apps are updated and which are not.

Just a second thought: not all applications + data can be restored between different roms, it's just a matter of checking out.
Update. It's possible on some games using Google Cloud Saved Games

I bought Galaxy SIII just 5 days ago and installed Omega v11 rom with SiyahKernel v1.4.I started installing apps to test my quad-core phone(Gangstar Rio,Asphalt 7,Modern Combat 3,Mass Effect Inflitrator etc..) ,when i noticed all the appdata were installed at the internal sd(mainly Android/data and Android/obb).I want to have that huge amount of data on my external and not interal sd.If move an app's data to external after it has downloaded them already,the app downloads them again.
If you do a search in the forum, it has been stated that you cannot run apps from your external sd card, with other android phones all you need is a app called app2sd, there are many for free in the play store.
I use gl to sd from the play store. Once moved you then news to open up the games from within the app or once in the app, select mount and hit the home button. Then open apps as normal. Its mainly for gameloft games (gl) but in settings there are also options to move data from the android / data folder as well as select your own custom folders.
There are a few others out there but this was my favourite.

It only works with games or apps that has the option to store additional data to ext. sd.
I think I heard about this in another thread.
Directory Bind. It will not move APKs themselves, but it will move the large data directories for games etc. that you're on about to the external card and correctly set up a bind mount so that it looks like the folder can be found on the internal card. If you use it, save yourself some time and enable the alternative database (something like that) option in its settings.
If you have root and partitioned sd card you have to instal link2sd. This will move the application to the second partition of the sd and creates a link to it. This will help the phone to recognize it as it would be installed on phone but really it would be on sd.
Like a shortcut in windows.

It doesn't move the app to the external card, only the data which is what the OP is asking. The apps themselves are tiny compared to the data, eg 9mm which has data of 2gb. Worked perfect on my S2 and now S3. Moved close to 20gb of data to the external card.
Directory Bind is also good but it would remove settings for me after a reboot. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

you probably misunderstood me, when I say games and apps, i mean as a whole, whether its a game or application download from play store, and not as a individual.
This is also the case with app2sd, the actual program is still in the phone, while the data is in the ext.sd.
thank u for your answers!i will check both glstosd and directorybind and report back...just to clarify,i want to move the applications data,like android/data,android/obb,gameloft to external,not the application itself
So i have angry birds,
And currently am playing Little Piggys, Star Wars and Space from Rovio
I know how to backup my saves, I know where they are located.
but i have been playing the free Add version for ages on these game, and i went and got the HD version (Mainly for my tablet)
But its not as simple as buy the paid version and continue from where you left off, I have yet manage to copy the correct files to the save location on the premium version for it to work.
I figured out its two files. Settings and highscore in the /files/ folder
But when i move them over it just resets the game as if it was a fresh install.
Anyone ever managed to do this? or know of a tool?
I dont want to use these Unlockers as am half way through and all 3 stars and its my work
plus i know if i used the unlocker it would ruin the point of playing the same level 20 times for them 3 stars
Any help would be great thanks
I have tried:
Tit Backup, But as the games are called something different i.e. Addversion and premium version it does not restore.
And things like Game Sync dont work too
If you want to use saves of add in premium...rename the data backup of add to that of of premium and restore....for example- data backup of add com.rovio.addx
Data backup of premium- com.rovio.pemiumx
Interchange their file name and restore via tb
Using XDA premium through A5
If i helped you in any way then do click thanks
Hi
i bought the PIPO m1 tablet
and i tried installing all kinds of games (not from the playstore) like Asphalt 7
in the instruction i was told to copy afolder to the SDcard/Android/Obb....
this tablet does not have sdcard and when i checked under android folder ther was no Obb folder ???
i tried to buld one and copy the files there but still witout success
what is this folder and why its not on the Tablet
Thanks
\TK
Oob folder is where game data are stored. If it doesnt exist create that folder and paste the gamedata. Also you may need to patch framework.jar on you m1 as majority of the gameloft games has issues starting up their games on m1 . Tty googling "pipo m1 gameloft fix"

Thanks
Ill look for it
You know if that problem exist on the pipo m8 also ?
You're talking about pirated apps here, aren't you? That's not allowed. Where did you download Asphalt 7 from? Google Play Store and Amazon App Store both automatically download the game data. If not that then most games download the data into the right folder on first launch. None of the games, especially popular games like Asphalt 7, will ask you to download game data from somewhere else and put it in the obb folder unless it's a pirated game and working around the initial license check.
Most of people use pirated apps
Very few pays for them

You are right, but sometime even I launch the games purchased from Google Play, it has trouble downloading external data if you deleted them and try to redownload them again. Therefore, sometime it it is handy to keep everything in an obb file yourself for the future. Please keep in mind that I DO NOT ENCOURAGE people to pirate apps, I just buy the idea of obb...
Use Root Explorer if phone is rooted
Like the title says, use a root explorer and you should find the obb file.
No apps in Playstore tells you to copy the files to OBB, its obviously pirated
Hey, I installed Call of Duty Strike Team and after playing it once, obb was disappeared from obb folder and game isn't working.But, after uninstalling the game ,only apk is gone and the missing obb file is occupying my internal storage and I can't delete or find it.Please help and can't find solution anywhere.My device is rooted.My device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3v PLEASE HELP............!

true but some apps like tap titans. creates OBB if i flash rom i like doing clean isntallation.. and i dont want to download the data again.. so i copy the obb as well and i replace it back. tap titans is free..
I have the same problem. I downloaded Asphalt 8 from the play store, about 1.5GB but I can't find its OBB files. It works fine though.
