Download the apk using playstore..and install it in the new phone( login with the same google acc )
Find the data folder of the game in sdcard/ android / data and copy to same directory in new phone
U can also use titanium backup
sent from my SGSII
Or in /data/data/package.name.of.the.app/.
If you could mention Name of Some Particular Big Games..

Without ROOT access, /data is always empty. Try this, and see for yourself.
The only way he can pull content of /data would be via ADB and he will still need root to copy them to the other phone.

I thought that /data is always visible, no matter if the phone is rooted or not... nevermind.

hello everyone I have a question, when I made my nandroid backup of my stock rom and the one i'm using now before applying a patch and one after the patch but made the first 2 by mistake to the internal memory of the phone now I want to move them to my PC but i can't find them with root browser(or explorer ) I can see them in CWM when I go in to recovery but I'm not sure were there getting store also being that I made the backups so close together the time stamps on them are really similar and I can't tell which one is the stock and the backup of the new rom is there a way to find out which one is the stock one without having to do a restore
thank you in advances for the help

Your nandroid backups should be located under... clockworkmod/backup/"YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS"
Your backup(s) should be in a folder with the format above as in date and time.

If there are multipe folders under "backups" with different time and dates then those will be all the nandroid backups you have made so far with the most recent one being the one with the newest date and time while the old backups are the ones with the older dates. What do you plan on doing? are you trying to restore to stock 2.1?

Not exactly sure if your phones nandroids will work with your gf's phone. I recommend you create a seperate nandroid on her device just to be safe. Thats if that phone is rooted otherwise disregard what i have said.

Well if her phone is not rooted there is no way to create or restore the nandroid backup since you do not have CWM installed. Unless you know of some other way to create and restore the backups.

Oh i see now. I Forgot about that. Excellent point but technically you are rooted. That update.zip you flashed in stock recovery (reinstall packages) edited some of the system files on your phone in the process and gave you superuser rights or "root" access. So you are rooted just so you know.

How to take a backup of Galaxy s2 2GB Phone memory with an unrooted s2
By no means is this possible without root. You need access to system files, and that is what root enables.

On unrooted GS2, you cannot access deep system files directly.

Check the contents of
Clockworkmod/backup in your external Sd to be sure.
If you are sure it's something you won't need, then delete the contents of the backup folder.

the blob folder is related to backups made in CWM 6.x.x, don't delete the contents of the folder, except you are going to delete all the backups you have made since upgrading to CWM 6.x.x.
If you delete the contents of the blob folder, all the backups you made in CWM 6.x.x will be rendered unusable/useless.

Virus on android is simply overblown by antivirus companies so that they can eat your money by deceiving you.
They will only show your phone down, plus drain more battery too.

Technically, Yes But I'll advise you to flash a custom kernel first. Then make another ROM backup( just to be sure) before changing your ROM.

Dont listen to this idiot.
There has been MANY, MANY, MANY instances of malware for Android platform on and off market which can cause your phone to send texts to premium numbers, steal contacts for spam purposes, use phones as botnets etc etc etc.
Just install something like Lookout etc and leave running in background and it will check apps as they are installed, Obviously nothing is full proof but its safer then not having it and its free and doesnt use many resources/battery at all.
So, I currently have a Galaxy Gio running 2.3.x, but I'll be getting a S3 Mini next week.
I have lots of savedata I don't want to lose, like Hill Climb Racer and more.
Is there any way to transfer the savedata, if the apps are on the SD?

Tell me, then.
as far as i know
to copy your game data is from titanium back up
but the target device must be rooted too
Without root you could try looking to see if the game stores its data on the /sdcard. If its stored under /data then you'll need root on the new device to copy it.
I'm surprised there isn't a way to back up game save points, app data, etc to your Google account.

Hi:
We all know the lost IMEI problems if many of Galaxy's devices , but i just want to know that if there a good and 100% working method for all Galaxy phones that i can manually inter the IMEI on the back of the phone and fix it??
Yes. Buy an Octopus Box, and flash the IMEI.

If you have a backup of your EFS partition, yes. You can use ADB and push the *.img file to your handset. Short of that, there really isn't a way to do it with ODIN or with ADB. If you don't have a backup of your EFS partition, you're pretty well screwed.

Diferent phone the galaxy ace. The efs partition is hidden (stl5 mountpoint), and that's a good thing because you can mess it up by making it vissible and/or attempting to copy it (you have to be EXTRA careful with your adb kung fu so you don't screw it up).
The upside is that it practically can't be accidentally ruined during a rom or other random flash, unlike its galaxy s2 and s3 cousins.

I mean hidden not like windows. The partition that holds efs files is not accesible unless you mount it to a specific directory. Not even root explorer and show hidden files will help you find it.
Use google, use the galaxy ace forum right her in xda if you need more details. Its the stl5 mountpoint, and not recommended to try and access it.
