[Q] Game saves backup (ie. jetpack joyride) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i wanted to backup my progress in jetpack joyride (and other games), but when i look to /data/data/ i don't see com.halfbrick.jetpackjoyride . Other games seems like don't have any save files at all. I have nexus7.
Thanks for guidance.

Is it called something else? That happens to me all the time. It confuses me sometimes...

I'm looking for help with making an app, message me if you are interested in helping!

Try searching in the Android/data folder or use titanium backup and take a backup of your data. Its sometimes more efficient if you don't know in which folder the data is stored.

I also looked in Computer\Nexus 7\Internal storage\Android\data and the folder is not there. It seams to me like permission issue. Also i'm suffering from media server issue and cannot find file that is causing the trouble and i think it might be on the device just not visible to the world, just system or something like that.
Same thing with MLP i have folder Computer\Nexus 7\Internal storage\Android\data\com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftPOHM\files with files, but non of these files are save games, but the game on the device saves so again this would lead me to believe that this is security issue.
Savegame files are present in titanium backup output, so again - permissions i would guess. How can i make all of files on storage visible?

I think some Root Explorers might have an option to show hidden folders, not so sure though.

Eternal Legacy gamesave location?

Can any point to me the EXACT location of the save game for Eternal Legacy,
I have ONLY checked gameloft folder, and definitely did not find any file in the eternal legacy directory that looks like a saved game.
I'm in I4 firmware (non-rooted) willing to root if anyone can point to me the EXACT location.
NOT LOOKING FOR AN IGNORANT reply, please ONLY point to me the file and location, thank-you in advance.
Kinda off topic but if you're wanting to mod it, use Gamecih2. If not then sorry.

Looking to backup my saved game, will consider "Gamecih2" after i complete the game.
SOMEONE please help me locate this saved file??????
Hey mate, either check out sdcard/android/data folder, or use Titanium Backup to back-up the app data and then restore them when needed.

From my experience of gameloft games, that usually doesn't work. It seems your progress is saved in the sd files and loaded from there.
Just a guess but keeping the sd files might be the backup. I don't know which file exactly however.
Ah well you're quite right, I just checked and gameloft really stores saves in its own directory. For 9mm HD it's save.dat, so perhaps check for something similar

those are common locations, have tried looking for a save file in those directories (months ago), but no save file found. i have been trying to find this save file for months, now gave up and decided to ask for help.
That's why i need someone to point out to me the EXACT location of this save (someone who can GUARANTEE me the location of the save file)
please people no more guessing replies or "have tried in this directory" type replies (meant that in a polite way)
someone who has backed their save file for this EXACT game, not another Gameloft game, please point out to me the EXACT location.

[Q]App Folder

Ok, Seeing as how the first 10 pages and search yielded no results, I think I might be one of those special kids mentioned in the terms and agreements video.
I need to know where Astro installs the apks, because obviously it's not under system/app nor data/app. I've browsed both twice while revealing hidden files but they have not yielded any results. I can find every app on the phone but the ones that I've installed through Astro... So if anyone can shed some light as to where I might find them, that would be great.
try here
dont know if its similar but i have same problem with ics not being able to find apps that were unremovable (they just kept reinstalling) but noticed some apps were also in /preload (dont know if this helps your case or not)
Maybe /mnt/sdcard?
Check peferences in astro for home directory?
Other apps also in /data/app

Thanks for the reply but it's not an unremovable app, just a few apks that I nicked off the internet. They show up under settings > applications and can be removed, but I just can not for the life of me find them on the system folders

Yeah, I've checked those, and all the home directories and usb directories and sd external directories, pretty much all of the directories listed in the preference for Astro with no success. Also, somehow, my /data/app folder only has the stock apps, nothing new that I've installed so far. Appreciate the reply though
Use your root file explorer to search your device, it will show up eventually.....
Edit: so no confusion, I mean the search function within the app

If you have your phone set to install apps to external memory, there should be a folder called "android.secure". This is where the phone puts apps that are installed to the SD. (by default) Now I am assuming you have not formatted you SD to include a EXT 2/4 partition, or else you would know to look there. I would investigate to see if you can find an android.secure folder.

[Q] Regarding 'Additional data' for games

hi all, i have a question regarding to the additional data that we downloaded for certain games.
to be specific, i've downloaded NOVA2 and SHADOWGUN. but i dont quite like the games so i uninstalled them from the 'Manage App' option.
but seems like those additional data are still in my phone as i checked my storage, a huge portion of space is taken up.
do we have to manually delete these additional data? if yes, how do i go about doing it?
thanks in advance.
Yeah you'd have to delete the "data" file in the sd\android\data folder.
i had that with plants vs zombies where like 50mb of additional data was downloaded.
the data usually should be in ur internal sd card sd\android\data\com.[developer name usually]
just delete that folder and you'll be set.
if there isn't such folder try doing a file search for the developer company name and there should be data files in ur phone somewhere that u can delete.
As morio134 said, it should be in android/data/[folder]
If you can't tell which one it is, you can use something like Grid Size Free File Manager[/img] so show you what takes up how much space on your phone. Really useful if you're not sure what's using up all of your storage space
also it depend on application - some games etc remove also downloaded data when removed via unistall
Game data could be stored in various locations on the sd card, including gameloft, android/data, ea and others.

thanks all for the replies.
i'll try to check from those directories mentioned. just to confirm though, i wont be able to access those directories from the computer right?
i have to use apps like ES to navigate inside? since it looks like its internal sd directories.

[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.

Try DiskUsage

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] Directory keeps reappearing: malware?

I have recently noticed a directory appearing in the root directory of my SD card entitled "SexyAlbum." I have not downloaded any apps or files remotely remotely related to anything that this name would suggest. And every time I delete the directory, it reappears within minutes. It is always empty, and always contains the subdirectories "Saved_images" (which is empty) and "cache," which contains another empty subdirectory called "images."
I have run anti-virus scans, but the scans don't seem to detect any virus or malware. However, since this directory reappears every time I delete it, I am convinced it's malware.
Any ideas on how to address this problem? It happens on both my ICS phone and my JB Nexus 7. Thanks.
There must be a app related to that! Go to manage apps and see if you can find the culprit!

Thanks. After spending almost all day and night yesterday reformatting my devices, I figured out that this obnoxious directory appears to be installed by the Dolphin E-book add-on to the otherwise terrific Dolphin browser. This really shakes my confidence in Dolphin's integrity, or at least the integrity of its add-ons.
