Back up content, data, and settings from your phone to your Google Account, then restore your backed-up information to VMOS. Important: You can't restore a backup from a higher Android version onto VMOS running a lower Android version.
Asking for instructions about moving folder
I wanted to know if i could move folders from vmos to the original root folder of the host android device
I am using a oppo A9 2020(non rooted ofcourse) and i have installed vmos
I want to extract/move kalifs.tar in the original root folder of the android.... completely out of curiosity
Though kali is not a part of this thread but i wanted to know if i could use vmos to do this type of works
Thanks in advice

1. Android's folder named /root is RO. You've to root phone's Android and then mount it as RW if you want to move files there to.
2. Android host and VMOS are completely independent systems, they even don't know of each other:: You can't move files from one system to the other and vice versa.
Can i download inapp purchases from vmos and back up to regular andorid
There is a built-in app in VMOS called file transfer station in yellow. Click on that and you can proceed further.

Hello I originally installed applications in non-rooted VMOS rom. Now I would like to back them with titanium so I can transfer them to other phone. Google backup does not work well. Is there any way how to root rom that has not been originally designated as rootable, or how to move apks with data?

Hi everyone,
I have a question or maybe someone can give me some advice?
Is there an application that can do this or maybe a terminal app, and someone knows the commands to enter?
I am very anal and a complete neat freak, so my sd card on my xperia looks very unorganized. I have tried to create a folder called android and move all the dependent files to android there but the folders and files just get recreated.
I would love to have my sd card Folders look like:
Android (defualt for android),
Music,
Pictures,
Movies,
Temp,
and so on.
does anyone know how this type of organization could be done, I have an X10a rooted. So could i not open a terminal and change the default path to my sd card to a folder rather than the root of the card.
So this would make android put anything it wanted to write to the sd card into a folder called Android.
Hope someone is as anal as me and has figured out a way to do this.
I agree and would also like to know if there's an option to deal with this. I think it's absurd that Android defaults to dumping temp files an app folders all over the sdcard with no actual organization. I can't think think of a single reason why it can't just put all of these things in an "Android" folder and make a giant mess out of that, instead of doing it right in the sdcard root.
This was posted in July and this is the first response. Anyone have any ideas?
Root explorer paid app will allow to create folders and move stuff around
sent from my Commodore 64
BUMP
would also really like to know if it can be tidied up
what about dynamic links like the same way apps2sd works
Just an idea
Bump, still searching for a solution to this
I would think that with all the mods, this might be able to be done.
I'm going to ask if the moderators good move this thread to a more general forum like the android q&a?
would be nice to have all sym links go to an android folder, instead of the root of the sd card. or maybe the android files need to be on root?
still searching......
I am afraid this cant be done - every Android app has a ability to write wherever on sdcard. There is dierectory Android, which is default for every android app data.
Some developers respect it some not, many apps dont write do /sdcard/Android but creates their own dirs wherever on sdcard.
I think about one solution, because I am linux geek and hopefully many thinks could be done on Android similar way
Repartition the sdcard with two discs - one to be mounted as /mnt/sdcard - where all of the junk stuff and android configs will be stored as usual and second one partition (bigger) mounted eg. as /mnt/ext_sdcard
But there is one problem, because not all of apps are able to work with files on eternal storage....
As question says: Is it possible to read files from system folder on an unrooted phone and copy them to pc or sd card?
Hi, I am new to this and one of the first things I did was unlocking my bootloader and rooting the device. So I do not really know, but I think that you can use the app rootexplorer on unrooted stock firmware as well. You won't be able to write, but I am pretty sure that you can read thus copy. If you are on windows you can give android commander a chance. This is a port of the famous windows commander to read out the smartfone. There you would even be able to copy your wished data to you connected pc.

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.
I have a phone Galaxy Ace plus. I rooted it and recently installed SSHDroid to it. I have little knowledge of Linux so after I ssh in, I did wander little bit and found this,
1)
- All personalized settings of user are kept in /data/data
- Each app is assigned a special userid/groupid and has rights on its particular directory only.
So,
If I purchase a new phone and lets say I install temple run in it, so I copy the com.imangi.templerun/* from the old phone to the new phone and copy the permissions from the parent folder (com.imangi.templerun) of the new phone so will I get my high score, achievements etc in the new phone ?
2)
At the root there is a soft link /sdcard which points to /mnt/sdcard. Is it possible I change this link to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd so when I move any application to 'sdcard' it goes to the external_sd and not in the USB storage ?
3)
There are apk's in the /data/app ? These I suppose are installers so what is their function in the phone ? Can I safely delete them to free some space ?
Apologies for being a noob, but I am new in Android.
Thanks.
Bump.

To answer your first question the easiest way to transfer your Temple Run application data from one phone to another would be to use an application such as Titanium Backup to back up the Temple Run app data, then transfer the Temple Run app data to your computer, after that transfer the Temple Run app data from your computer to your new phones Titanium Backup folder and after installing Temple Run on your new phone (Make sure it's rooted so you can use Titanium Backup) use Titanium Backup to restore the Temple Run app data you transferred from your computer. For your second question yes it is possible to do this using the Linux "ln" command, a word of caution not all applications will function properly if they are on the external storage. Lastly, unlike .exe type installers that you would find on Windows .apk files function as both the package installer and the Android application package itself that contains all the code for the application to function. You can't delete these apk's to free up space because it will then remove the application from your phone. For example if you remove the Temple Run apk from your data/app folder you will remove Temple Run from your phone. Let me know if you still have questions .

Thank You a for your reply and making those points clear.
I have just moved from Ace Plus to S4.
Now I will put a stone on my heart and try to root my 3-hour old S4 :crying:
Hi there,i'm new with android stuff and i need someone who can explain me how can i put .obb files in DEVICE MEMORY.
Some of the games for example have that extension .obb,i understand that needs to be placed in internal memory \Android\Data\Obb and then install that .apk file.
My problem?! i cant acces DEVICE MEMORY(2Gb) , i only can on INTERNAL MEMORY(16Gb).
Sony xperia P (LT22i)
Build number 6.2.A.1.100
I have rooted my phone and updated to 4.1.2
I use AP file Manager Pro.
If someone can explain me step by step i will be much grateful.

But you answered your question yourself, you need to put the .OBB file in android\data\obb folder of your phone memory, and best use a computer to do this, or ES files explorer

ASEC containers are partition images anyway, if you have the actual app already installed move it back to /data using Link2SD then it will have files in the standard locations (/data/app, /data/data, /sdcard/Android)... but then OBB always goes to media partition IIRC

I haven't tried asphalt, but if the app was dl'd through play store, shouldn't the obb file be already in the correct location? (sdcard/Android/(file folder)/.obb file)? Now I understand op is trying to move files from PC to phone. Even if he moved the apk to /data/app or install it the location of the .obb file will not change. Regardless of the apk being installed or not, unless he downloads it through the app, which is not the case. He needs to copy it in the correct location.
