So I got this game from Humble Bundle and installed in on my DNA, I've been playing it for 13 hours and was forced to reinstall it. I copied my save file on to my computer to put back in the game once I reinstalled it, but I won't load the save file now. Anyone have any issues with this or any ideas as to how I can get it to work??
Thanks.
Many games store info in /data/data folder... Is that what you backed up? (ie com.gameloft.android.etc.etc) I use Titanium Backup because it will also backup the additional files like the example above.

I just grabbed the save file off the phone and copied it to my desktop computer, and then copied it back.

He is asking what "file" did you think you grabbed? Did the file explorer need root permissions to grab this save? Last I checked permissions for save games need root access and are stored in the /data partition, not your SD card or internal SD

When adding things to your SD card, like the apk files for apps, I have just been dragging them right onto the card. Should I be making folders for them or anything like that?
I know sounds like a dumb question but i have to ask.
Depends on your level of OCD.
Seriously though, just make one folder at least so if you want to wipe your sdcard later you can just drag and drop one time

if you dragged the apk onto the sdcard and then installed they are fine to move. in this case what you have saved is the installable application. the installed apk is now located in /data/app
hope this helps
Ok... So it goes like this.... You download an apk..... You go to the folder it sits in( diwnlaod folder on your SD card) you tap install.... This install the program into system/data/app
The original file you downloaded will still be in the download folder on your SD card.... If you don't plan on using this download to install the apk again, you can go into the download folder and delete the file... Once u have it installed you no longer need this file....
For safe keeping I actually upload all my downloaded apk files to my box.net account for future use.... And they don't take up space on my sdcard anymore....
All goes back to level of ocd, cause if you don't mind the clutter on your SD card your good to go, me I leave as much space open as possible... For roms, music, etc... Files I think I more important to me....

THANKS Hitman, i did just that. Ive removed the install apk, but i still have them in a folder on my HDD and external HDD
I have a ton of folders on SD card and some places on my phone's internal storage that I want to know how to delete, bottom line is some of them are important folders that may be required by the system - some contain downloaded data from games and what not - such as The Sims Freeplay - that range in sizes from 400MB to 900MB.
I'm running on a stock phone, HAS NEVER BEEN ROOTED, DO NOT WANT TO ROOT THIS PHONE TO GET RID OF THESE - is there any ways to do this without rooting the phone?
Any help is appreciated
SDCard folder deletion
Hi,
As everyone gets to read/write on the sdcard you should be able to delete everything on the card.
Since you are unsure if the files are still needed, I'd suggest you back them up, delete them and put them back on the card if you run into problems.
Take a look at the files timestamps to identify old and probably unused files.
As for deleting stuff, I see several ways to accomplish that:
transfer files via USB mode
use a file manager from the market and just click your way through
use ADB from the android SDK, this will open a shell and you can use all the unix commands you want. You'll also have access to 'adb push' and 'adb pull' to transfer files.
Astro file manager .

You can probably just delete the files using a file manager. It's tedious though.
This might be a silly question, but I was currently trying to backup some saves for games I bought, and was unable to find my Final Fantasy 3
saves on my sdcard.
I found out that the saves are actually in internal storage in some location like /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP
My phone isn't currently rooted, and the file explorers I found required root.
Is there a way I can backup the saves to my PC without having a rooted phone?
I wanted to backup all my stuff before attempting to root my phone, but will the root process erase my phone's internal storage, or is that only
when flashing ROMs?
Wifi File Explorer Pro seems to work fine. I can see the folders outside of the SDCard folder...including the root stuff. Now changing those files or folders...I have not tried.

Thanks, downloaded the app and I do seem to be able to explore the phone's internal storage, however the data folder in question seems to be
completely empty according to the app.
EDIT :
After trying with another app, it looks like I probably need root to view the /data folder.
Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
Hello!
How do I backup each and every note of my LG G5 QuickMemo+?
If your phone is rooted, you can do that by using automatic backup tools such as Titanium Backup, or by manually copying /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/ folder to your backup location and then restoring it by copying it back to the same folder, setting the right permission with Root Explorer or similar.
If you're planning to copy them to a txt file, it's quite easy for text notes, as the text is inside /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/databases/qmemoplus.db, a SQLite database, in a format similar to HTML.

My phone is not rooted and I do not plan to root it. Most of the notes I wish to backup are images, is that still possible?
accessing in the /data/data folder is possible only with root. I don't know where images are, if they are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus you can backup them, otherwise not.
EDIT: media files are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus, so you can just copy that folder even without root.

Oh. So should all my phone data get deleted, if I paste the pre-copied folder, all the dozens of saved images in QuickMemo+ would be there?
/sdcard/ is (opposite to what would be logical) the internal memory. So if your phone data is erased, also QuickMemo+ photos are deleted But you can always backup them whenever you want.

I just went in that folder and I seem to have thousands of 'qmemo_' folders in there, each has 'audios', 'drawings', 'images' and 'videos' sub-folders. The problem is there seem to be a lot of memos I have deleted from my phone long ago (which apparently also is the reason why it took some time to load all the folders as there are thousands), how come the deleted memos appear in those sub-folders? How can I backup only the relevant ones?
If there is a mismatch between the database of notes seen by QuickMemo and the files in the folder, well, you just have to be patient and check them one by one.
You can start by opening QuickMemo and looking at the earliest memo: any folder that has been edited before that date, is something you deleted.
You can use LG Backup too
