I have the same files and they are from movies I have installed on my 64GB MicroSD card. Do you happen to have movies on your memory card? If you go into the folder's it will show you the movie names.

Since there are thumbs of different scenes of movies/videos, these are probably generated by the video-player app, which shows previews of videos in miniature view (left tab)

[APP] Final Fantasy III Save location?

I was wondering if anyone knows the save location for final fantasy III? I have a saved game on my tablet and would love to be able to put it on my phone for when I don't have my tablet handy! Any help would be appreciated!
I don't have that game but based on common knowledge and the apps id in the play store start looking in
/data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP
Is your tablet rooted? If so maybe you can use titanium backup and copy the folder onto your phone then restore data

I was about to ask the same thing...
not rooted though.
shadowofdarkness is right, if you go to that folder there is a folder called files. In that folder is a file called save.bin. I just took the file from my galaxy tab and put it on my galaxy nexus, and it worked fine.

He is not talking about /sdcard/Android/data/ folder he is talking about /data/data/ folder which is accessible from root. It is there I just checked myself.
The obb folder is the file downloads when you first buy the game. It has the pictures and music and everything. That folder is on the sdcard, the folder you are looking for is not on the sdcard, but on the phone's internal memory. You will see folders for all of the game/apps you have there.

can anyone upload their save.bin file who is somewhat farther along? (I just defeated medusa at tower of odin.) I lost all of my progress
I can upload mine, but I am not that far. As of right now I just got the enterprise from the Vikings.
Let me know if you want it.

The OBB file should not be concern of yours. I predict it's a file with games resources in a database.
Just use DataSync mate, works wonders for what you need

Could you post that? I am right after getting the ship and have managed to get myself stuck after riding around the place on a Chocobo. I found a glitched area and can't get out of it.
I think I did the same thing. I got stuck up in a waterfall earlier today on the chocobo and had to close the game and reload my save.
Here it is, hosted on my public dropbox:

There is only one Application with which you can view the content of data folder already mentioned few messages before, and it's "Root Explorer" Application. You have to buy it, because I personally have tested lot of file managers and this one is the unique which do what you want whith simplicity. Hope that will help you.

I actually prefer Total Commander over Root Explorer for a few reasons, and it is also free. But either one will let you get into the /data directory to get at the save.

Moving Files to SD Card

I'm sure there have been a plethora of topic and/or posts devoted to my question so please bear with me! If there is a specific thread/posts related directly to my question then please direct me there.
I desperately need an app that can move files to my SD card on a NON-ROOTED phone. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Thanks!

I'm guessing you need an app to move apps to the (external?) SD card , right? If that's the case, there are plenty that try to do just that, but they usually need root access. Those that work without root access (e.g. Apps 2 SD) are only able to move certain apps, as the vast majority does require root access to move them.
If you meant regular files, I think the default file manager would do the trick. Or any other file manager (e.g. Astro File Manager).

Sorry for not being more specific.
I'm definitely trying to move files to my external SD card. I think that I may have seen Apps 2 SD but forgot about it. Yea, that's the one major problem with the S3 is the inability to move apps to the external SD card. And, I'm painfully aware that most of the apps out there are for rooted phones, which just sucks.
Oh well, I'll download the A2SD app when I free up more space to do so.

I'm now at my breaking point with this dang phone! After deleting over 20 apps that have resided on my phone for months & moving dozens upon dozens of files to my external SD card, I'm still getting the annoying message "Storage space running out..."
I've attached a couple of screenshots from Settings > Storage Settings to see if anyone can make heads or tails from them.
Thanks.

App 2 SD won't work on the S3. Your only options are DIrectory Bind and swapping external and internal cards using a flashable script

That's the first time that I've heard that one of the App 2 SD apps wouldn't work on a non-rooted S3. Directory Bind is just fine if you have a rooted phone, which I don't.

The Play store won't even let you download it cause it's incompatible. And it says that in the description

There are numerous apps that go by the same name so I guess it's a matter of who the developer of the one you're referring to. That said, agreed that most of them do have a disclaimer.
What gets me is in a lot of the reviews, users state that you can accomplish moving apps to an external SD card on the SG3 without an app on a non-rooted phone. Haven't figured that one out yet!

No, the S3 doesn't allow moving apps to SD

[Q] handcent question

Does anyhow know what the directory to save to the SD card is, to set in Handcent? I've tried almost every one I can think of, and none of them work, it keeps saving to the devices internal storage in /handcent/downloads.
The default I believe that it shows is extSdCard (I don't have my phone next to me at the moment, so I can't verify), but even then it still saves to the internal storage of the phone itself, whereas I'd like pictures that I get via MMS to be saved to the card (I've also done the "long keypress" on pictures I get and told it to save to the memory card, and it *still* saves to internal storage).
Thanks.
It should be /mnt/extSdCard.

I thought application data could not be stored on the sd card. Just my two cents.

I wasn't thinking that photos sent via SMS/MMS would be considered as application data (but I guess it could be?). Just is/was easier to have all the photos my wife gets on her phone saved to the memory card, as opposed to directly to the device.

Quick help please

So I need to download a file manager from the play store right now and find that backup somehow, move it to external sd card. Then when I factory reset I download Nova launcher and when I hit restore my backup will be there?

Use es file manager from the play store. Because I know that suits what you need
Then copy the backup to external sd using especially file manager
When you wrote and are ready to restore, put the files back how that are now, install nova prior and then restore from inside nova

Good luck! Reminder: backing up nova launcher will only keep the layout, apps and widgets wont be copied. But you will get icons for them even if they arent installed so you remember where they go. Use Titanium backup or Helium to backup apps/data c:
If my posts helped dont forget to click Thanks on them!
Oh wow I didn't know that all of the apps wouldn't be in their folders lol. I might just not back up then idk. You did help I appreciate it man.
