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?

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.

Hi,
I have Galaxy nexus, and I just bought a S3, i want to switch my whole data to S3, Pictures, Music, Videos and App data.
Any easy way?
Root both devices, install Titanium Backup on both. Backup all apps on your old phone, move TitaniumBackup folder to your new phone, restore all apps. That will give you all the installed apps + data.
While you're at it, you can also copy all data on your old phone's memory to the new one. That should transfer the remaining data (photos, videos, etc). Phone settings like probably won't get transfered though (ringtone settings, wallpapers, etc) as they depend on the rom and are hard to transfer.

If you haven't already unlocked bootloader, you'll need to use a method that doesn't wipe data.
This is one recent possibility.
I wouldn't put data from a Gnex tothe s3. And ur apps will DL as soon as u log in gmail or market.
Thanks Everyone
I managed to transfer apps by the method you mentioned, now i need to move pictures, music and videos
I dont want to root my S3
Can't you just use a computer?

Agree, just to elaborate this folder is DCIM usually. I'd recommend not copying over your data from titanium and do a clean start.

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
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 gang!
So, after a couple of years of happily(ish) using my S5, it's started to lag badly (even after wiping) and have started looking for a replacement.
It seems that this really is the only viable option for me, given that I really prefer having spare batteries especially when I'm traveling, and I really can't be bothered with having have to plug my phone in, even if it's to a portable back-up battery. It's also been nice to be able to just buy my own battery whenever the battery starts getting old and doesn't hold a charge as well as it did when new. :highfive:
Anyway, given that this phone doesn't have root yet, there are a few things I wanted to find out before I bite the bullet:
Folder locations: I've been using FolderMount to change the default save locations for some apps to SD card instead of internal storage. These apps do not allow you to change directories within the app, which is why I've been doing this. This has saved my ass whenever the phone itself became non-functional. Is there a way to do this without root on the G5? Or, at the very least, is there a way to manually copy these files from the device (i.e., browse ALL files on the device) to the SD card?
Folder locations (bonus round!): in particular, the data I care about is WhatsApp and Line backups. If any of you guys have specific experience being able to save these files to SD, I'd greatly appreciate any input!
Transfering messages, call log: I've been backing up and restoring SMS and Call Log using TiBu for years. While I also use SMS BackUp+ to also have an automatic fail safe, these apps don't handle group texts very well at all, ergo my reliance on TiBu. I noticed AT&T has an app called AT&T Mobile Transfer -- will this be able to transfer all of my texts/call log? Even if it's in the thousands of texts?
S Health data: Samsung has an S Health application that automatically backs up steps/heart rate data. Is there any way to transfer this data to an LG equivalent?
Those are all that I can think of right now, but any advice would be really appreciated, thanks! :good:
