Is the way or a certain movement needed do in Ahan operate the old data storage P game?
Probable solution
First of all: what version of English are you using?
If I understood these machine translated lines of text, you want to move application (eg. savegames) data between devices.
Try Titanium Backup - tell it to backup the application you wish to transfer data from. copy the so created backup files (package name + timestamp + gz/bzip2 extension) to a location like SD card (or even better to a cloud service like DropBox or GoogleDrive).
Install Titanium Backup on target device, configure it properly (set up the DropBox etc.) and then tell the Titanium Backup to restore the copied data from the archive (app or data only, as you wish). And there you go :good:.

I totally agree
But If you're talking about moving the data of the games to the external sd card, try this

I've done a lot of searching, but can't find the answer to this seemingly simple question. I want to know where Winamp for Android stores its playlists on my GS2 so I can back them up. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Does anyone know the answer to this?
If it doesn't store them somewhere on the sdcard it's likely in the app's data folder on the internal user partition (that 2G internal thing).
I think the path for WinAmp's data is:
Code:
/data/data/com.nullsoft.winamp/
(the double "/data" is not a typo )
You need root and a filemanager that allows you to browse the system area above /sdcard to access that path (the builtin stock filemanager does not).
I use GhostCommander for these things.
You can also use backup apps (like Titanium Backup) to backup that data.

Yes it's definitely in the internal user data somewhere, but I've got nothing in the /data directory. I think I'll have to create the playlist on the PC and then I can transfer it to the /Playlists folder on the external card (where my music is). Winamp can then see that playlist.
1) What syntax has to be in the playlist so that the mediascanner will accept it?
2) What folder should be used to place the playlists into? \Playlists ??
I want to change the backup directory of Titanium Backup to the external SD card. But in the preferences, I can't choose any other directories except the current one which is in the internal SD.
Is there any way if doing it?

It hasn't really got anything to do with the Galaxy S II (the name of this forum), but Menu --> Preferences --> Backup folder location, is where you set it. You might need to tap the back button to go to the parent folder, which is described in the app. Works fine for me.
Follow the previous posters instructions, but first;
Copy the titanium backup folder from internal sdcard to external sdcard. Then do the steps previously outlined. You will then have 2 directories to select one only. (ie. It will "detect" the new location after scanning). Delete the redundant TB folder if you wish.

Do you actually have an S2 ??? I can't see in any of your posts or signature ............. If this is the case, better to post in your own device Q&A forum.
This is an extremely old thread and newer firmware is out. If you have KIT KAT, you may require mod /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file to permit applications to write to external sdcard. For this scenario, easiest way is try some of the play store apps (root required).
Never mind it's working for me disregard this post.
not working for me either
i can navigate the dir/folder but it will not allow me write , it allow me write only on one folder that is on internal SD, and i want to make backup on external SD card.
i am on note 4 SM-N9100 , KITKAT , Rooted.

Hi!
When I backup app + data with Titanium backup, it doesn't seem to backup the entire data for the app.
For example, I have installed NFS Hot pursuit and Max Payne mobile and downloaded the game data which is around 600 MB and 1.3 GB respectively. Now when I backup these apps with Titanium Backup (Batch > App+Data backup), the backup size in the Titanium backup folder is only around 50 - 60 Mb.
How do I get Titanium backup to to backup the game and entire game data, so that in case I restore the game after wiping the phone, I don't have to re-download the entire game data.
Please help.

Questions belong to Q&A.
The game data is already on the SD card. This 50MB backup is the apk + some or no files. The rest is on /sdcard/Android/data.

My apologies for not posting the question in Q&A section.
So, do I need to manually copy the game data stored in /sdcard/Android/data for future restoration. Is is not possible to get this backup done through Titanium backup or any other backup application?
I think that paid version of TB supports backuping of all application data, even from SD card.
I am using Titanium Backup Pro.

the data its backing up is cache not the downloaded game data itself and all the downloaded files, only game save data and etc data/data/com.yourgamehere
and to not delete the downloaded data you can pull the downloaded data which is probably in android/data/com.yourgamehere
or gameloft/games/yourgamehere

Gameloft games has a regular content and a downloadable content,
the downloadable content isn't backed up so you need to pull if from the folder which i stated above
I have 8 GB of map data placed on my external SC card related to several Navigators ... happy that Titanium Backup do NOT include this kind of data.
Once a while I backup my entire external SDcard.
exactly. titanium backup is not supposed to backup that amount of data because it is pointless.
it copies your apps and data from the /data/ partition to the /sdcard partition, but games by gameloft and ea, as well as navigation data is already on the sdcard, no need to have it there twice.
whenever you make a factory reset, you usually format /data/ only and not the sd card (or your titanium backup would be gone as well), so there is really no point to it.

Take a look here:
[Guide] Types of Android backups
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678239
You can just go into settings, there's a "Backup External Data" option, just activate it, and right below set the maximum size of the backup date, I believe the default limit is 32Mb, so if you want Max Payne or so you just need to increase that limit to 1.5Gb or something. There's no need for extra apps or whatever, it's just a setting.
Thanks everyone for resolving my query....
Cheers!!

Does this actually work? Whenever i flash a new ROM, i always erase all of the sdcard as well in order to be sure i dont have anything i dont need there. I keep my TB backup in the extSd and also the .apk of TB there. Can i really backup downloaded data of my games? E.g. i have almost 4 GB of downloaded data from games and i would like to keep it. I've set the option with the external data to "always on" im making a backup right not. It indeed takes some time to finish it and that makes me happy. Lets hope it ll work.

Try it and you will know if works
I made the mistake of relying upon Titanium Backup when I was trying to restore games I accidentally deleted while setting up Directory Bind (saw that the original files were still there in file explorer and deleted them, they were of course the illusion of the original files that Directory Bind spoofs the system with, Doh!). It's always AFTER you lose files that you realise the steps you should have taken to back them up. In future I'll just do a full manual backup as well! Such is life!
Recuva file recovery probably not much help for this one.
UPDATE: Recuva recovered all deleted game data from the SD card! Get in!
It used to work flawlessly for me. Recently it has not worked for me at all.
EDIT: And I figured out why! A lot of games have started to keep their external data in encrypted binary blobs as *.obb files located in folders under sdcard/Android/obb/ and Titanium does not currently seem to look for these. I've submitted an enhancement request for this.

I have experienced issues with some games like Ski Safari, which I am unable to export to third party devices, probably the savegame is encrypted and only works in the device where it was generated.
Also, consider that some games like GTA or Asphalt store a lot of MB or even GB in the obb folder.

I've got Titanium configured to backup external data no matter how large, and I'm not moving it across devices. I'm pretty sure it just isn't checking that folder for things to back up.

How to backup obb files with Titanium Backup?
Hello, I have Titanium Backup PRO and I usually back up entire applications including all external data, especially big games, so if I need to restore, would not need to download a lot of data again.
However, I have had problems with some games like Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat 3. Even if the first has 1.16 GB of data and the second 1.35 GB installed, when I backup them the size of it is less than 100mb. TB is already configured to backup all external data and no size limitation. I noticed that unlike the other games, these that are not doing the full backup saves their large package of data as a Obb file.
Therefore, If possible, I would like to know how to do a full backup of these games including all external data (especially Obb ) with Titanium Backup...
Thanks!
Hi, is there anyway to backup apps so that i dont lose save files? (so i dont have to restart from the beginning of the game each time)
It'd be best if there was some way to move apps + their saves files to the external SD card (also is it necessary to format extSD card before flashing ROMs that need full wipe?)
I heard titanium backup might be able to do this, but if i full wipe my internal sd card titanium back up + backup file also gets deleted.
Thanks.

Does titanium backup also restore save files and settings?
It backups and restores the application data storage.
If an app stores it's saves or some content on the sdcard, then that particular conten is not stored since it technically does not belong to the app and thus Titanium has no way of knowing what to backup.
I can however recommend for savegames etc to sync those folders on the sdcard with Dropbox. Not only will you have an offsite backup but it also includes the history of the last 30 or 90 days so if you f%#@ up ingame you can restore your old save.

Which folders do I backup? does drop also back up the app itself
Back up everything just in case, it's there for if you ever need it.
Luckily I can help you as I made the mistake last night of restoring system data.
First of all back up EVERYTHING and place it in your external SD card if you wish.
When you've wiped the phone download Titanium Backup again and restore "missing apps + data" just the missing apps and data. Do NOT restore the system files, it will result in everything to stop functioning.
hello everyone,
i know the easiest way is to download apk/obb files and save it to pc or external storage but is there another sure efficient way to backup game files instead of redownloding them every time we flash a new rom?
If you do as you say, and save the apk and obb file onto external storage (like the micro sd card slot you have built-in) you could just copy the obb files back to the internal storage and use something like titanium backup (also backed up to the sd-card) to restore the apk with all your saves on the ROM.
Perhaps the app "Migrate" from BaltiApps in the play store could do it in one go?

Root. Then install titanium back up pro..
I, too, had that kind of game.
SF IV Ce.. bought the game.. then told me to download additional 2.5gb of file data.. or so.
Thought there was an obb or some sort of data.. but there was none. Instead.. there is .. if you use root explorer then browse to data/data/..
So whenever i flashed a new rom. I need to re download the whole 2.5 gb data. And thats when i thought if it can be backed up by the TB... AND rest my case.. it worked.. fast and easy..
---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
And when you're using TB PRO.
THERE'S an option to just restore all apps and its data at once. Sit back and wait for it to.finish.. just make sure that what you're about to restore are all installed files only and not the data of your system files..
Oh.. and.for data with the likes of NFS MW & REAL RACING 3. where there could be thousand files that are about 20-300Kb file sizes.. that could take about an hour if you copy paste it to another storage. So.to make it easier to copy/paste... I highly suggest you zip the whole nfs folder or even rear racing 3 data foler. Then copy the zipped file somewhere else.. its easier to.copy a single 2 or 3 gb data file than copying thousands of 300kb data files.. ehehehehe.. just unzip.it again in android / data folder when you're done restoring your rom

Check out Migrate. It's free and works through twrp. I haven't tried it myself for games, but it works flawlessly for normal apps, so if your game is not using obb, I'd think Migrate would work just fine.
