i need to find the save files of my game loft games because i need to change my ROM. I've read some forums and it says that i need to backup the files using titanium backup and the save file is on the SD card gameloft folder. I've previously backed up the folder and changed my rom and put the files again i just have to start over again. backing up doesnt help me.
btw i gotta android phone

I have a Moto Atrix and am running My Backup Pro for a backup. Currently it saves to the sd card. I want to move these backups to dropbox so I have a copy on my PC. However it doesnt let me move the "All Apps Backup" wont let me move it to dropbox.
Does anybody know a good way to do this?
I would .Zip the files you want to save and then upload them.
Hey guys, ive got little space left on my sd card in my nexus.
Can i format it? What do i do with the clockwork folder?
Thank you
If you do not intend to flash a new ROM then no you can't. I'm pretty sure you can if you flash a ROM, but remember to backup your photos and music first.
Is there a reason why you can't just delete some of your media or photos? If you've done a few nandroid backups in CWM you can delete any old ones in the app.

Actually, after a few more seconds thought, if you've copied your music and photos onto your computer, I'm pretty sure you could do this:
1) do a complete nandroid backup
2) locate it, copy the entire directory to your computer
3) make a note of where it came from (the directory tree)
4) format your sdcard
5) copy your nandroid backup back to your sdcard making sure the directory structure is the same as before
6) restore your nandroid backup
There may be important catalogue files in the CWM directory, so it may be better to copy the entire CWM backup directory tree from its root.

To restore from a nandroid from complete stock just create a folder called clockworkmod. Inside that folder create another called backup. In that folder paste your old backup file. If you format the whole sd card some files and settings will be missing when you restore.
IMO its easier to copy all the files you want to your pc, then just go through your phone and delete all the files you don't use on a regular basis

I just did that, and it worked fine. Everything was te same as before the format. I only had 2gb of photos though. Maybe you should go through yours before copying back to your phone and weed out any you don't need.
I use the instant upload with G+ (WiFi Only) and as I take photos, they get uploaded to a private album. Once they're uploaded I delete them from the phone. Saves space .

Does it keep them at full Q? Been thinking about it but was waiting for G+ to allow Google Apps accounts
I wanted to start this thread because I am having trouble, (and I assume other noobs are as well), understanding what's on my SD Card and how to navigate through it.
I've attached what I see when I open my device and check the internal storage.
My main reasoning for trying to understand all that's on my SD Card is because it's important! And because I'm trying to figure out where all my apps are stored. I recently installed the venom custom ROM, and since then have lost the knowledge of where my .apk files are stored. That's really what I'm after trying to find those files. I've searched every folder but still no dice. I used Titanium Pro to backup all my files but there is nothing located in the Titanium folder.
Can anybody help me identify where my .apk files are located?
I also have a few .apk files I wish to install on my phone. From what I've gathered the way to do this is to add them to where the other .apk files are located and then Fix Permissions. If I cannot locate my .apk files is there another file path I could save it to?
Lastly I have these two files I have not recognized before, BUGSENSE and .profig
What are these files?
So if you're downloading the apks off a website they'll be in the downloads folder if you downloaded then through Google play..they won't be on your sd unless you manually backed up them up through titanium

Right okay, so if I choose to back them up onto the SD card then my .apk file paths should appear? Because as you can see now I have no app folders on my phone (sd card) currently.
I've backed up my phone via titanium still nothing in there is an .apk file.
I'm also interested in keeping my phone clean of useless things (another reason for this thread).
As file explorer. Settings allow up to root allow root. Go up from sd card. System/data folder

If you go to titanium backup location on sd card and open it you will find what you looking for. Its pretty easy to restore backup in titanium app itself.....also a true backup should be done in twrp recovery as it backs up everything (file partitions,kernel,radio,apps) it will save a copy (known as a nandriod backup) on your sd card that you can recover if your rom won't boot or you just need to restore .

Make sure you enable writing to the root folder as well. System apps are in system/app.
I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 which ive rooted and have the script that sets external sd card as internal memory and vice versa. Its running android 4.0.4 and Whats happening is my games are completely dissapearing and upon opening either one of them, it has to redownload all the game data. Its doing it all the time and its come to the point were im going to flatten it and install a custom rom.
What i need to know is where the directory is for save game files so i can back them up. If i use titanium backup, upon restore non of my games work so that option is out of the window. So the plan is
1, Back up the game save directories,
2, wipe it,
3,install a new os,
4. restore the save game files
5, redownload the games.
If this doesnt resolve the issue im thinking perhaps its the SD card.
I know in the microsoft world save game files are normally in your profiles Application data directory or the my documents folder. Does android have a similar set up?
Also, can you recommend a stable and clean rom for this device. Needs to have init.d support so android 4.1.2.
Would really appreciate any help anyone can provide :good::fingers-crossed:
Could someone point me in a direction to find out how to move my favorite (no longer available) game from my old phone to my new phone (not rooted)? Thanks!!
Apk Export makes an installable copy. I have a 6+ yo office app that was installable to my Android 10, N10+ with it. Works perfectly.

Make a backup of the apk file for the app(there are many easy ways to do this if you do some Google searching) then go to the Android/data folder in your internal storage and then find the folder for your game(it will be labeled) and make a copy of that folder, this folder is the app data for your game. Then transfer the copy of the apk file and the copy of the app data folder to your new device's internal storage. Place the apk file in your download folder and then install the app from there then place the app data folder in the Android/data folder, then reboot the device and everything should work like you want it.
Thanks!!!! It worked!

I forgot to mention that you may or may not also need go to the Android/obb folder on the old device then find the obb folder/file for your game and copy that folder/file then transfer that folder to the Android/obb folder on the new device.
