I have an Android game that hasn't been maintained since 2015.
(for the record, the game is Imperium Galactica 2, or com.digitalreality.ig2 but no longer available on google play).
The idea is to install the .apk file and then place the game files into Android/obb.
The game launches normally, and seems to work fine. The only problem is that I cannot save a game.
I tried installing it on a Nox player emulator, and there the games are saved normally. I see the games are saved in the directory Android/data/com.digitalreality.ig2/files.
I used total commander on my phone to create those directories, but the games still cannot be saved. It seems that the game cannot get access to that directory to save.
Any ideas on how I could make this work? (rooting is not an option).
bump, any help appreciated

What do you mean exactly, I don't understand.
Also as I said, saved games work normally in the Nox emulator.

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

Actually HunteronX is right. Have a look at your sd card & see.
(On 2.1 at least... haven't tried other roms)

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.
hope this is in the right place.
I downloaded & installed this game to test it out...
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cupra.rec&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jdXByYS5yZWMiXQ..
but I now cant un-install it. if I go to app setting I can press un-install but it just doesn't remove it. I have app monster pro on my phone but the game doesn't show up under installed apps so cant use that to remove it. the game files take up 1gb of space & I want it back!
pls help?
EDIT> I managed to sort it myself, can a mod pls lock/delete this thread pls?
Install Titanium back, perhaps this program will see the game. Otherwise, just delete the files, so you have your space back.
Most of the time this works for me.

of course, I just deleted the game files on my sd card then once I had done that it simply un-installed easily from with in Appmonster pro. I think the un-installer was having trouble with the nearly 1gb in size game files
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.
Hi everyone.
I have some high-graphics games on my Nexus 7. They all ran well until the device downloaded and updated to Android 4.2. Now, some games including Prince of Persia, Sonic 4, Real Boxing, ... do not run. They all say they can not 'find' their data files (usually located at sd\android\data or sd\android\obb). NFS Most Wanted (has separate data) and all other games that do not have separate data files work perfectly.
I guess it must be related to the change Android made in its storage structure. '0' and 'legacy' appeared and it seems that my games can not find their data files any more.
Is there anything I can do to get my lovely games back?
Thanks.
We have (had) a first-gen 16GB Nexus 7 that got damaged. It was not rooted. I periodically rsynced all the accessible files to my desktop. The last backup is nearly a month old, so some of the apps may have been updated since then. We just replaced with with a second-gen 32GB Nexus 7 running the same 4.2.2. This one has been rooted without modifying the bootloader.
I've tried copying all the obb files from our games (NOVA 3, Order & Chaos, Great Big War Game, Bloons Tower Defense 5, etc) from the desktop back to the new N7, but they just get ignored, putting the player back at the beginning of the game. I tried copying them before the games were installed, hoping the game would update the obb files as necessary during installation. No luck. I tried copying the obb files after the game was installed. Again, the game still ignores the old files, treating me as a new user with no history.
Any idea what's going on, and how I can get the games to recognize the old files so we don't lose all our history?
We should be getting the unrepaired, older N7 back from Asus eventually, complete with its cracked display. We may or may not be able to use it well enough to root it & pull all the 'data' directory from it.
