In some games sdcard/android/data
In others sdcard/android /obb
You'll find a folder starting with "com." followed by the game or developer name

thanks guys found zombie HQ and Z5, but sniper shooter could not find that one.

Look, if you've taken a Tbackup then everything's solved.
Go to your phone storage nd find a folder called TitaniumBackup. If not there check sdcard.
You would find the game apk as well as the "com." file..
But. Titanium changes the extension to ".tar.gz". So u won't be able to install from inside the folder.
Open titanium. in options opt for batch restore. Ur game will be shown in the list.
Select it. Restore it.
Done. It will be restored to the state where it was before taking backup along with in game saves

in what folder is my save data on for Zenonia 5??
i have the com.gamevil.zenonia5.global folder, but every time i copy the hole folder in the data location. when i go to start the game i get FC.
i want to know if i could just copy the file or folder where my save game data is located ..???
also when i restore with TB it FC when ever i start the game.
if i clear cashe and data. the game will start right up. just fine.

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

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.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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
Sent from outer space by aliens on tapatalk using SGS2
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.

Observing "save" location for game

Whats the best way to watch where your phone saves data for a game? I messed around and figured out it saves the data to the phone and not the SD card. Is it possible to have my phone connected to the PC, do something in the game to change the data (we'll say spend money), then close the game and watch on the PC where the data is saved to?

I think every game i tried saves "save" data to /data in phone.
And Some gameloft games saves data in their respective folders on sd card.
I think it depends on the game. Some games like 9MM the saved games are on the sdcard.
Is the game in question on your phone or have you moved it to SD card? I would think that if the game/app was stored and run from the SD card that it would save data to SD card in the game/app folder. Just a thought.

No , sorry , its not like that . It depends how the game is made to save the data and save files.
It is indeed a Gameloft game and I believe I was wrong about it saving to the phone. Tried doing a few things to update a file, then try and see which file was most recently updated to get an idea. The game is that new Oregon Trail: American Settler. I been observing the files and found that there's a hidden cheat menu, as it's listed in the text_EN.lang file. Also found the only file that I can for sure tell that can be manipulated is prey.data file, which alters ther specs on the animals that run across the screen. Aside for those, I can't make heads or tails of anything else. I "think" the file that has saved data for $, energy, etc...is in Japanese/Chinese text. That is the file I'm after.
Translating the foreign text makes little sense, and manipulating the prey.data file doesn't stick. The game notices the change, then acts like it need to re-download the ~25mb game from gameloft. It smokes through the download (no way ~25mb), and all my stuff is the same. I re-check the altered file, and it's back to how it originally was before I messed with it....

This is solving everything. Taking some time and a bit hard to figure out, but it's working the best so far.

Angry Birds Saved Data

So i have angry birds,
And currently am playing Little Piggys, Star Wars and Space from Rovio
I know how to backup my saves, I know where they are located.
but i have been playing the free Add version for ages on these game, and i went and got the HD version (Mainly for my tablet)
But its not as simple as buy the paid version and continue from where you left off, I have yet manage to copy the correct files to the save location on the premium version for it to work.
I figured out its two files. Settings and highscore in the /files/ folder
But when i move them over it just resets the game as if it was a fresh install.
Anyone ever managed to do this? or know of a tool?
I dont want to use these Unlockers as am half way through and all 3 stars and its my work
plus i know if i used the unlocker it would ruin the point of playing the same level 20 times for them 3 stars
Any help would be great thanks
I have tried:
Tit Backup, But as the games are called something different i.e. Addversion and premium version it does not restore.
And things like Game Sync dont work too
If you want to use saves of add in premium...rename the data backup of add to that of of premium and restore....for example- data backup of add com.rovio.addx
Data backup of premium- com.rovio.pemiumx
Interchange their file name and restore via tb
Using XDA premium through A5
If i helped you in any way then do click thanks

Obb folder is missing

Hi
i bought the PIPO m1 tablet
and i tried installing all kinds of games (not from the playstore) like Asphalt 7
in the instruction i was told to copy afolder to the SDcard/Android/Obb....
this tablet does not have sdcard and when i checked under android folder ther was no Obb folder ???
i tried to buld one and copy the files there but still witout success
what is this folder and why its not on the Tablet
Thanks
\TK
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............!

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.
