Never could try but it should work. Here is an example with Dead Trigger 2. To know what is the package name of your game go to Settings > Apps > All > Select your app and you will see it.
Go to /data/app and search for the right package name. The one of Dead Trigger 2 is com.madfingergames.deadtrigger2.
The file you have to copy/paste to your 2nd device (same directory of course) is com.madfingergames.deadtrigger2-1.apk.
This is a manual method but you can do it through a 3rd party app like Helium.
Backup app data:

Hi there, there are many apps on the market you can use to backup apps/games + data ( I use Titanium Backup), it's very easy to use you just install it and find the games you want to backup and it will automaticlly backup it's data and progress.
You should install the app on both devices and then send the files from "Titanium Backup" folder to the other phone and RESTORE the game (the game's progress will be automaticlly restored).
That should do it. Enjoy.

Helium doesn't need root. You can backup into your internal storage or in the Cloud.

Did exactly that along with Internet bookmarks from my SGS to my SGSII with My Backup Pro off the market, there is a 30 day trial version just called My Backup. Worked with no problems.

Thats strange. Well not sure what file is what to be honest. I simply copied everything from my sgs to my sgs2 including the sms back up apk. worked like a charm. What version are you using? im using 3.7
I used my backup pro to transfer everything from my nexus to the galaxy, copied the entire rerware folder from the nexus to the galaxy then had to point the galaxy to the rerware folder in the settings menu of backup pro.
Which part of the backup/restore is failing?

Worked the second time round
It might have been that accepted when it asked to check for duplicates or maybe it was because I removed the 200 text message per thread restriction, either way it worked.

I am using Omnia II Windows Mobile 6.1
Is there a way to migrate SMS cross platform to SGS II?
I've used SMS Backup + to go from Desire to SGS2. Not sure if there's a WinMob equivalent that would work.
Edit: Found this

does this work with restoring apps and app data also?
if so could i use it on my sgs1, ensure the data is stored on my SD card, then with the SD Card in the sgs2, restore my apps, app data, sms etc?

Works perfectly. Kies seems to work as well.
SMS Backup & Restore did the trick for me too, the only caveat being that because I moved the whole SD card containing the backups and config from my Hero to my SGS2, when I started the Backup & Restore program it was looking at the wrong path for the xml files and so didnt initially see my backup files.
Editing the path in the program preferences menu fixes this.

It should do, there is an option for this, but you need to be rooted on both devices in order to do that particular operation. I wasn't at the time i used it.

Ecstatic and overjoyed.
MyBackupPro should work.
So, I currently have a Galaxy Gio running 2.3.x, but I'll be getting a S3 Mini next week.
I have lots of savedata I don't want to lose, like Hill Climb Racer and more.
Is there any way to transfer the savedata, if the apps are on the SD?

Tell me, then.
as far as i know
to copy your game data is from titanium back up
but the target device must be rooted too
Without root you could try looking to see if the game stores its data on the /sdcard. If its stored under /data then you'll need root on the new device to copy it.
I'm surprised there isn't a way to back up game save points, app data, etc to your Google account.

Ohh.. You need Titanium Backup for data backup and restore.
Helli friends, I am using titanium backup 6.0 2. I had create backup of all users apps but after I restore it after flashing new rom I noticed that it missed data folders of my big games like modern combat 4, gta vice city, ravensword. Games apps was asking me to re download data again which I bought from play store. I searched about this but found no solution. Had I made any mistake?
Sorry for my bad english.

You need t to copy the folder with games data file (the downloaded one) not sure if it is in that fleet you mentioned but you can try.

every game has a different folder, and titanium is not supposed to back it up
But it should do bcoz it is difficult to backup separately data files of games agaun and again for flashing new roms

This is one of the things you will have to get used to when flashing roms. As Games keep their info all over the place and with each update the place it gets stored is not always the same. So no it is not supposed back those up.
The titanium backs up, but it just makes it interesting to know how and other parts, as can happen when the program or game update specify that part will not change. Sorry if my english sucks.
I tried too many times but answer is no. It only backup apk file of game not data and it is difficult to re download 1.5 to 2gb data again.i think clockwork recovery can do it but not sure. I will try it and if I get success I will post here.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
no, recovery doesn't backup sdcard contents either
Ok it means there is only a way that we should copy data folder from /sdcard/android. But it is strange that when we uninstall the game it removes the data folder( even it is 1.5 gb) with apk. I hope titanium dev add this feature in next update.

they won't
I use directory bind to put my games /android/data/game.name/... (NOT ALL /data/ I actually list the games themselves) /android/obb.... /gameloft... folders on the extsdcard from the internal memory's sdcard. I can then backup using Titanium Backup (calling it TT from now) the games' "app and data" then I do the following:
I can flash a new rom,
login to play store/google
restore Directory bind, and enable its binds
install app ONLY using TT
run app and let it check for d/l's (NONE)
in TT kill app, clear data then restore data.
This process works on all my "big" games asphalt 6/7 dark knight GTA:3 dead space etc etc
o and FYI TT already has the feature to backup the external data, but i think its disabled by default (or on a low setting) Its called "backup app external data" in preferances and also the one below sets the size. I have it backup external data if its less than 32mb. presumably you could set to to always and it'd do it, or you could setup a label for your "big" games and have it done like that. I will however say i have not used this feature for backing the games sdcard data, I use the first method.
Thanks for reply. I think it is amazing solution to backup big games data without hassle. I will try it. However I am using link 2 sd in s3 i9300. It works but not for big games data. I have a question that will directory bind work in galaxy s3 bcoz it has no support for move 2 sd.

Firstly Directory Bind (DB) isnt perfect. It can crash and cause the game to crash. However that said I completed maxpayne for example on my phone without a single crash. Second DB doesn't work on 4.2 ROMs apparently (not bothered to test that as im still on 4.1 for now)
Now the thing to remember is that, I HAVE MANUALLY COPIED THE GAME FILES FROM THE INTERNAL TO THE EXTERNAL! I let each app install onto the internal (months and months ago) then moved the files myself to the extsdcard as DB's copy feature is unreliable to say the least. Once the binds are setup, you never need to move anything again, as all NEW data will be sent to the extsdcard.
ALSO if you are using link to sd, doesn't that mean you internal sdcard is ALREADY directed to the extsdcard? so DB would be useless?
In Titanium Backup, Go to Preferences>Backup app External data (It's under Backup Settings) and set it to Enabled(Always)
In my case, this method saved everything needed from the Android/data folder but it did not save the Android/obb folder.
EA Real Racing 3. After backing up and restoring into a new ROM, the game worked flawlessly, my progress was saved and I didn't have to download everything inside the game again. App size was 1.34 GB. While the archive size was around 850MB in the TitaniumBackup folder. But it was probably compressed, and restored everything.
I think this just saves the Android/data folder, it did not save the Whatsapp Media. Thankfully, I had backed up the Whatsapp folder just in case, and i just pasted it back into the Internal SD Storage.
I had even formatted my InternalSD(it was getting too cluttered) while flashing the new ROM. On the previous ROM I was at around 1 GB free... and after the restore in the new ROM and copying of the folders back to Internal I had some 5 GB free. I obviously lost some data, probably from the Android/obb(My guess, around 1 GB game data), but the rest was probably junk that needed cleaning up anyways, since I was back to how it was in the previous ROM.
So, to summarize, while jumping from ROM to ROM doing Full Wipes(or even Format Internal SD), while making your backup you should backup all external data via Titanium, and then copy relevant folders outside the Android/data folder to your backup location and just paste them back after you've restored from Titanium.
Hope this helps.
Oh, by the way, don't be noob enough to not change the TitaniumBackup folder to your external before starting anything.
Titanium backup data take more space than other.
Hi! Anyone else using MomentCam and Star Wars: Tiny Death Star? I need to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I was hoping I could back up my game saves before I do. I have X-plore File Manager and I've tried looking for their respective app folders under Android/data but I can't seem to find them. I have two I couldn't figure out which app uses though: com.levelup.touiteur and com.sgiggle.production. Thanks in advance!

My Android is unrooted. I have Android Assistant which I used to backup the games but I don't think that includes the game saves. I have a feeling that is what apkextracter would do as well. For the data folder, is the correct path Android/data/ or do applications have another path where they save info? Looking at mine I don't see the folders for these two. Unless they are the two I mentioned in my original post. I was hoping someone who had them installed could look and tell me where to find the save folders. Thank you though!
Update: I checked the Google Play link for MomentCam and found this: "com.manboker.headportrait" did a search and it's under Root/mnt/asec/
hi, somebody can give me momentcam backup with all effects (without VIP)
Other than the TeamWin or TWRP how can I backup my system settings, software, apps and such. I don't want to root as it will void the warranty with Verizon and Samsung.
Helium (previously known as Carbon) in the App store. It needs to be authorized via USB.
Good luck getting Helium to work. I spent days struggling with it, and could get a partial backup about 1 time in 10. And the developer provides zero support.

All app data is stored in "Android" folder on the root of your internet or external storage.
how did you guys manage to get helium to work? It just refuses to work for me I activate it from the pc and the min i close the app and start it again it asks for activation again. I contacted the developer but got no response from him.
