Hi, I downloaded Dead Trigger and Holy Archer from the Play Store, both of them are >100Mb's, and I backed them up, so i could put them on my phone.
Now, the problem is, that to even post this question, I am using a rooted Samsung Captivate Glide with a wifi hotspot I made.
I don't have the data plan to be able to download all of that data, and I was wondering if there was any way I could backup the WHOLE app, or at least find where the data is installed and transfer it there.
You can use titanium backup to auto do it for you, or ROM toolbox or a slue of other apps.
You could use adb or a file explorer to pull the app and data from data/app and from data/data
These are the usual locations but can also be stored mtd/sdcard or data/app-private or even elsewhrere, need to browse around to find it (may also need libs)

Hey, thanks for the input!
Yeah, I figured it out.
I just copied the respective folders from obb and data, and it worked flawlessly on my phone.
Thanks!

Hi!
I'm gonna submit my Samsung Galaxy S2 back to the company where i bought it from because it is not possible to call with it (people hear me very bad and it echoes for them). I have NOT rooted my phone. Is there a FREE backup app that I can take backup of all contacts, messages, apps, games, any settings, etc? And then save it on your computer or something, so if I get a new Samsung Galaxy S2, i can have everything back.
Thanks!
My backup root can back everything up, needs root though.
Contacts = your taking the piss right??
games = you can just re-install them, tied to your account
messages = http://www.galaxys2forums.com/samsu...ransfer-sms-from-android-to-computer/new/#new
mybackup and sprite back up "apparently " can without root

For backing up your contacts, you can use your Google account or even Kies. Similarly, your Google account may restore your apps (fresh install), depending on your settings for your account (Back up apps and data enabled?). Nevertheless, this only restores apps directly downloaded from the market (non-backed up). You'll need to copy the folders in which your game data is stored (e.g. "gameloft" in your sd card), as restoring the app will not keep that data. Just copy the whole directory to your computer.

Allright, thank you very much! If i copy the gameloft folder to my desktop and then put it on the new phone. Will they be installed directly?
For SMS I would recommend SMS backup+
would be good if google backed up app data to the cloud as well in case of a reinstall when moving phones

Yes and no! You'll need to download the game app (about 3mb) (but not the full game) again. But for all the data which is part of the game (about 300mb) you can simply copy the folder. If you have a paid full version, you not need do do anything else (at least for gameloft games). You don't even need to backup the game app, as you'll be able to download the trial version again. After pasting the copied "gameloft" folder back on your phone, the trial version will become a full version automatically.
Just be carefull to enable "USB Utilities" on "Wireless and Network" settings before copying, otherwise you'll risk copying an empty folder.

Aight, so first i copy it to the computer. Then on the new phone, i download "game app" from the.market. Then copy the folder.
Exactly.
However, I was just wondering... The only thing is that I did it many times but with the same phone (i.e. new firmware but same IMEI number). I'm not sure if it will be hassle free if you do this in a phone with different IMEI number, as there might be some sort of protection against copying a paid game to another device.
Nevertheless, as you have paid for it you probably still have how to prove it to gameloft should you have any trouble. and download a new key if this is the case.

Hello, I have a game on my phone (drag racing) and I have it backed up with tibu and I also have tibu on my tfp. How can I get that game with all my progress onto my prime. I would assume its possibly but I'm not sure how. I tried to find the files but there's a few of them so I don't know what is what. Thanks.

I think you can just restore the backup from TB to get the game installed. However, the game progress can only be transferred by copying the program data files located in the sdcard of your phone to the TP. Make sure you place it in the same file/folder structure, the way you found it on your phone. Hope that helps.
the files are located at sdcard/titanium
if you want to copy over only selective apps, there will be 3 related files for each app to work.
use this method to make ur whatsapp work on tab.
^^^^^^ thanks. I got it by long pressing the backup on my phone then hitting "send backup". I never saw that before.

Hi guys, I am looking for the location of where com.* files are stored. I installed an application upon removal it stated com.hc.'AppName' could not be uninstalled. so I would like to hunt for it and force remove it. I have use Titanium backup to try and search and also my root file manager but can not seem to find it.
The game was some daft sheep game (I downloaded it to get EQ in double twist for free, usually £4.99)
Well the apk is located in /data/app/ it could be there, or if the leftovers are making problems they are in /data/data/ You could also use sdmaid to clean it up.

Background:
I had a Nexus S. Got some games and got pretty far in them. I did not root the phone. Now I have an N4. I want to pick up where I left off on the new phone with regards to the games.. let's say, They Need To Be Fed as an example.
Now, neither phone is rooted, so obviously this complicates things, but it is not impossible. I can easily use Carbon to backup my app data and restore it onto the new phone without requiring a root. However I want to explore alternative methods.
So in a perfect situation, I would like the app data (and/or the app itself) to be backed up into one nice file that can be saved onto the new phone and then opened up to put the saved data where it needs to be. I'm not sure, but do .apk's contain app data as well? Could I save my current progress on TNTBF along with the app itself into a .apk and then extract the file on my new phone to continue where I left off?
What Carbon does is create a folder specific for the app and its data, which is a bunch of files I'm not familiar with, and requires Carbon to restore the data itself. Although this app is phenomenal and will be my last resort, I'd like something that doesn't require the app itself to restore the data. I used to use something called Ultimate Backup I think. When I selected to backup an app, it would save a .apk to the sd card. I'm not sure if it was backing up just the app or the app data as well, but if it did save the app data then that would be optimal.
Is anyone familiar with anything -- app or program -- that can do something like this? Backup app data that can be restored without the app itself on unrooted devices?
From my research, it seems the answer is 'no'. But maybe something recent has come up!

I recently upgraded from my old Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (not rooted) to the Note 3 (again Verizon and not rooted). I managed to transfer almost everything I need, but some of app data didn't transfer. First I used MyBackup Pro which transferred all my apps, call logs, texts, and other things but it didn't get some of my save games so I copy and pasted my /storage/sdcard0 (because that is the only directory you have acess to w/o root) to my new phone and that got the rest except for 8 games:
10000000, punch quest, fieldrunners, canabalt hd, mcpixel, funky smugglers, ridiculous fishing, plague inc, and rymdkapsel. I contacted eighty eight games (the developers of 10000000) how to move the 10000000 app data to my new phone and he said:
Heya Joshua,
Thanks!
It's certainly possible, though I haven't tried it myself. the save file is located here:
/data/data/com.eightyeightgames.tenmillion/shared_prefs/com.eightyeightgames.tenmillion.xml
so if you use a file manager you should be able to copy that file and path over to your new phone and keep all your data
Let me know how you get on!

Turns out these apps have there save data on the /data/data folder of the internal sd card. So I tried to go to the /data/data folder on my note 2 but it turns out you need root access to even view /data! Does anyone know how to transfer the app data from my old phone to my new phone without root?

Try using helium. Don't think it needs root.

I forget to mention I used helium too, but that didn't work.
