Hi
is there a way to zip SD DATA with apk installer for a games
that will make life easier
like if i buy GANGSTAR from google play
than if i need to reset my phone the next time i could easily install both the main download + SD DATA by just installing GANGSTAR.apk
Thanks
there is an option in titanium backup to do so. try it , much simpler
My Backup Root? I'm not sure, but check it out, it's free

Hi guys.
First off, Moderators, please do not move this question to the general questions and answers forum. This is specifically for Galaxy Ace users.
I'm usng E.S. File Explorer. Please confirm the following:
1. Stock apk files are located in /system/app.
2. apk files of apps that are downloaded from 'Market' and installed in INTERAL storage are located in /data/app.
3. apk files of apps that are downloaded from 'Market' and installed in SD CARD are
located in /mnt/asec.
If all three are correct, my question is:
What's all this talk from other users that apk files stored in my phone can be deleted to free up the internal storage?
I know I can't and should not delete the stock apk files (i'm not using custom ROM).
As for the ones in /mnt/asec, they cannot be deleted.
The ones in /data/app, I can delete but that would render the apps unusable.
What am I missing? I thought apk files from the 'market' can be deleted?
U r right with the location of the files...well you can delte some files in system/app to free up your system space and then use an app like titatium.backup to convert a user app into dystem app(note only some apps can be converted to work properly ..others will force close) ..thereby u can use ur rom.space too(i do it personally)....then u can also move ur dalvik cache into the sd card and GREATLY increase your internal memory..ull get tired installing apps but yhe space will never will up.. ..to do this u must root yr phone ..partition ur sd card and install link2sd ..its an awesome app
Dont forget to hit the thanks button if i helped ;-) ;-)

When trying to update Titanium Backup through Play Store it fails telling me that theres no more space left. However 9 GB of internal and 3 GB of external SD card are still free. Other applications (even bigger ones) install fine. I cleared Dalvik cache but without success.
What causes this error and how to solve it?
Is your device GS3? 9GB of internal?
Is it important how did i send this?
Try to remove current TB & then install the newer version
Is it important how did i send this?
I uninstalled TB and now I can't install it again with the same error.
I still have 9 GB free on phone and 3 GB on microSD.

I experience the same. Hmm.
i had this problem yesterday when updated my firmware, most of my apps had to be reinstall. there is one app, UCCW, i had to reinstall through google play and it keeps telling me i have insufficient memory.
To fix this i had to uninstall, use root explorer find the folder of the app and deleted it if it still there and reinstall. viola it works.

I think i have posted a fix a lot of times for the same problem..see if this works for you.. open root explorer..it works only if you are rooted.. open data.. then open apps.. then try to find if there is any odex file related to titanium backup. It mite be named titanium keramidas.odex or something like that.. delete it.. then install titanium again..
Using Root Explorer, go to /data/app and delete the file named Titanium.odex
Now everything should work normally..

I got this problem when I used lucky patcher to patch the previous Titanium backup app and uninstalled it but xxx.odex still file left(may be name "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex" . Use Root explorer then go to /data/app and find that file then delete it,I think you should install Titanium Backup again.

Helli friends, I am using titanium backup 6.0 2. I had create backup of all users apps but after I restore it after flashing new rom I noticed that it missed data folders of my big games like modern combat 4, gta vice city, ravensword. Games apps was asking me to re download data again which I bought from play store. I searched about this but found no solution. Had I made any mistake?
Sorry for my bad english.

Its normal, I guess titanium does not backup the data from the sd's games folder. Happens to me to, anyway you will be able to restore your safe games without problem.

You need t to copy the folder with games data file (the downloaded one) not sure if it is in that fleet you mentioned but you can try.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
every game has a different folder, and titanium is not supposed to back it up
But it should do bcoz it is difficult to backup separately data files of games agaun and again for flashing new roms

This is one of the things you will have to get used to when flashing roms. As Games keep their info all over the place and with each update the place it gets stored is not always the same. So no it is not supposed back those up.
The titanium backs up, but it just makes it interesting to know how and other parts, as can happen when the program or game update specify that part will not change. Sorry if my english sucks.
I tried too many times but answer is no. It only backup apk file of game not data and it is difficult to re download 1.5 to 2gb data again.i think clockwork recovery can do it but not sure. I will try it and if I get success I will post here.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
no, recovery doesn't backup sdcard contents either
Ok it means there is only a way that we should copy data folder from /sdcard/android. But it is strange that when we uninstall the game it removes the data folder( even it is 1.5 gb) with apk. I hope titanium dev add this feature in next update.

they won't
I use directory bind to put my games /android/data/game.name/... (NOT ALL /data/ I actually list the games themselves) /android/obb.... /gameloft... folders on the extsdcard from the internal memory's sdcard. I can then backup using Titanium Backup (calling it TT from now) the games' "app and data" then I do the following:
I can flash a new rom,
login to play store/google
restore Directory bind, and enable its binds
install app ONLY using TT
run app and let it check for d/l's (NONE)
in TT kill app, clear data then restore data.
This process works on all my "big" games asphalt 6/7 dark knight GTA:3 dead space etc etc
o and FYI TT already has the feature to backup the external data, but i think its disabled by default (or on a low setting) Its called "backup app external data" in preferances and also the one below sets the size. I have it backup external data if its less than 32mb. presumably you could set to to always and it'd do it, or you could setup a label for your "big" games and have it done like that. I will however say i have not used this feature for backing the games sdcard data, I use the first method.
Thanks for reply. I think it is amazing solution to backup big games data without hassle. I will try it. However I am using link 2 sd in s3 i9300. It works but not for big games data. I have a question that will directory bind work in galaxy s3 bcoz it has no support for move 2 sd.

Firstly Directory Bind (DB) isnt perfect. It can crash and cause the game to crash. However that said I completed maxpayne for example on my phone without a single crash. Second DB doesn't work on 4.2 ROMs apparently (not bothered to test that as im still on 4.1 for now)
Now the thing to remember is that, I HAVE MANUALLY COPIED THE GAME FILES FROM THE INTERNAL TO THE EXTERNAL! I let each app install onto the internal (months and months ago) then moved the files myself to the extsdcard as DB's copy feature is unreliable to say the least. Once the binds are setup, you never need to move anything again, as all NEW data will be sent to the extsdcard.
ALSO if you are using link to sd, doesn't that mean you internal sdcard is ALREADY directed to the extsdcard? so DB would be useless?
In Titanium Backup, Go to Preferences>Backup app External data (It's under Backup Settings) and set it to Enabled(Always)
In my case, this method saved everything needed from the Android/data folder but it did not save the Android/obb folder.
EA Real Racing 3. After backing up and restoring into a new ROM, the game worked flawlessly, my progress was saved and I didn't have to download everything inside the game again. App size was 1.34 GB. While the archive size was around 850MB in the TitaniumBackup folder. But it was probably compressed, and restored everything.
I think this just saves the Android/data folder, it did not save the Whatsapp Media. Thankfully, I had backed up the Whatsapp folder just in case, and i just pasted it back into the Internal SD Storage.
I had even formatted my InternalSD(it was getting too cluttered) while flashing the new ROM. On the previous ROM I was at around 1 GB free... and after the restore in the new ROM and copying of the folders back to Internal I had some 5 GB free. I obviously lost some data, probably from the Android/obb(My guess, around 1 GB game data), but the rest was probably junk that needed cleaning up anyways, since I was back to how it was in the previous ROM.
So, to summarize, while jumping from ROM to ROM doing Full Wipes(or even Format Internal SD), while making your backup you should backup all external data via Titanium, and then copy relevant folders outside the Android/data folder to your backup location and just paste them back after you've restored from Titanium.
Hope this helps.
Oh, by the way, don't be noob enough to not change the TitaniumBackup folder to your external before starting anything.
Titanium backup data take more space than other.

Apologies if this is the wrong thread:
I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 which ive rooted and have the script that sets external sd card as internal memory and vice versa. Its running android 4.0.4 and Whats happening is my games are completely dissapearing and upon opening either one of them, it has to redownload all the game data. Its doing it all the time and its come to the point were im going to flatten it and install a custom rom.
What i need to know is where the directory is for save game files so i can back them up. If i use titanium backup, upon restore non of my games work so that option is out of the window. So the plan is
1, Back up the game save directories,
2, wipe it,
3,install a new os,
4. restore the save game files
5, redownload the games.
If this doesnt resolve the issue im thinking perhaps its the SD card.
I know in the microsoft world save game files are normally in your profiles Application data directory or the my documents folder. Does android have a similar set up?
Also, can you recommend a stable and clean rom for this device. Needs to have init.d support so android 4.1.2.
Would really appreciate any help anyone can provide
The most interesting files are under data/data/ and android/data or android/obb.
I can recommend you Cyanogenmod, just google it

So I have downloaded a game called trainz, which requires me to download 300+ MB data. I have a samsung galaxy young s6312. I have downloaded the game with the data on this mobile. Recently I got a note 2. I want to play this game on my note 2. But i don't want to download the data all over again. Is there a solution by which I can copy the data folder from my old device to my new one?
P. S I already tried copying the com.nv3games.trainz folder (size 318 mb) from my old device to the obb folder of my new device, which didn't work. I also tried copying it to the data folder of my new device, which also didn't work. The Game was still asking me to download the data. Both devices are rooted, so any solution which requires root will be ok.
Thanks..
