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.

Save Games From Gameloft Games??

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
Best Regards

Actually HunteronX is right. Have a look at your sd card & see.

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.

[Q] Prime hdd nearly full!

Hi guys
My Prime has nearly full to capacity!
I have tons of apps and games and such, well lots of big download files.
Im not convinced that if i uninstall the game the downloaded data goes with it, hence the 800mb+ gameloft crud what comes with it.
is the there a simple app to delete in one click?
Im rooted if needed!
Kindest!
Check Astro File Manager, it has a built-in storage manager which will list folders by their size.
So it'll basically it'll list what folders are the biggest, so you can see if its from gameloft and then delete it if you don't need it.
EDIT: Perhaps get a Cache Cleaner app and let it clean out various caches from the storage? (Be careful though, and set it up, so it doesn't delete stuff you need.)
did you download the stuff from the market or off the internet? if you downloaded off the internet go to the downloads folder and delete the stuff in it.
also try getting a micro sd card and move some stuff over to it.

Very useful to have a graphical view of disk and to quickly find files/folders to delete.

Gameloft stuff does tend to stick behind, and when deleting you might have trouble differentiating between the games you've had. Their naming conventions for their folders are a bit off, so you'll have to go by some trial and error.
Worst case scenario - you'll need to redownload the data again for the games you still have.

[Q] Memory leak? Storage issue? What was it?

So the thing is that 2 days back I transferred Asphalt 8 obb file from Sony Xperia L to my Moto E into the folder Android/obb. Everything was working fine, game was running smoothly etc etc. Now today when I tried to open the game, it said that I don't have enough space left(1.92 gb) full. I was wondering why it needs more space!
Then I tried looking into apps space and every other place but couldn't find where the damn obb file went and yet space was full. I tried deleting obb folder but it kept saying operation failed. My data was taking up only 1 mb of all storage space.
Finally, in the end I had to factory reset and then the storage became normal once again.
So can anybody tell me what might be the cause of it? Only 2 apps were installed- Superbeam and Asphalt 8.
Also, anyway not to reproduce this problem again?
If you are rooted, next time you can use TricksterMod to rescan your media:
Trickster MOD-->Tools-->Media Scanner
If you don't have root and rebooting does not helps, there are many alternatives available on play store. Though I have not tried them.

Not sure but it seems relevant to the game data. 'Cause you were unable to delete it. IMHO, transferring game files from one device to another is not a sure shot process. I've experienced many issues with that. It is time and bandwidth consuming but you should prefer to re-downloading the game data.

Galaxy Tab E memory full even though I moved large apps... Help please

Okay so I use my Galaxy Tab E literally to play games.. I rooted yesterday with the help of the fantastic guide on this forum. The TWRP one. I only decided to root because I wanted to run the games via my SD card. So I again used this forum to find a way to do it and found someone talking about a thing called foldermount. So I did that and all the data is on my SD card yet it is still taking up the space on the internal side even though I've been through the file system and cannot find it. So I am wondering if there is something I can do to free up the space. The games I am playing are Fifa Mobile and Real Racing.. I had to remove Asphalt 8 and Angry Bird and a bunch of other stuff. I even disabled half of the crap google downloads into my tablet and uninstalled updates on almost all of the apps on there.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :good:

2015 game cannot save on S22 running A12

I have an Android game that hasn't been maintained since 2015.
(for the record, the game is Imperium Galactica 2, or com.digitalreality.ig2 but no longer available on google play).
The idea is to install the .apk file and then place the game files into Android/obb.
The game launches normally, and seems to work fine. The only problem is that I cannot save a game.
I tried installing it on a Nox player emulator, and there the games are saved normally. I see the games are saved in the directory Android/data/com.digitalreality.ig2/files.
I used total commander on my phone to create those directories, but the games still cannot be saved. It seems that the game cannot get access to that directory to save.
Any ideas on how I could make this work? (rooting is not an option).
bump, any help appreciated
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
What do you mean exactly, I don't understand.
Also as I said, saved games work normally in the Nox emulator.
