Where does Shopper's Paradise save my game? I'd like to copy my progress from the phone so I can continue and finish the game on my tablet instead.
Thanks!
Anyone know?
Did it myself using Root Explorer.
Copied the following two files:
/data/data/com.sgg.sp2/files/local
/data/data/com.sgg.sp2/shared_prefs/GameActivity.xml
to overwrite the same files on the tablet.
Not sure if GameActivity.xml was necessary but it contains something called "win_count" so I copied it.
Make sure the app isn't running (force close it) when you copy.

Noob question here, how do i make a backup on this phone? do i need to unlock bootloader? it was so easy on the hero lol
I am also wondering this. I have a new stock NS4G with 2.3.4. I would like to root it, but my understanding is that is only possible on 2.3.4 if I unlock the bootloader also... right? Which will wipe my data.
Is there ANY option I have to backup data while not rooted? Specifically some saved games I have... Plants vs Zombies and Cut the Rope... I've spent (wasted) way too much time on those games to lose my saves!
I think game data saves are stored in/data/data/
I'm not 100% on this. See if you can back that folder up. Again, I'm not 100% on this. Do your research and come back to confirm but im about 75% certain it's /data/data/ but don't take my word.
Hmm... using androzip on phone, I browse to /data and I see no contents. :-( But there are some other directories outside of SDcard that I can see contents. Weird.
You do have permissions to access the data files themselves, but you do not have permissions to see the folder contents. So you need someone rooted who has those games installed to give you the path and filenames for the save files. Then download terminal emulator and
cat /data/data/com.happy.gamex/subfolder/gamesave1.poo > /sdcard/backup/com.happy.gamex/subfolder/gamesave1.poo
Make sure the file copied correctly (the new one is not empty). Then backup the sdcard, as that will get wiped, too. After you root, play a couple levels so the game will recreate the save files. Then to put your info back:
cat /sdcard/backup/com.happy.gamex/subfolder/gamesave1.poo > /data/data/com.happy.gamex/subfolder/gamesave1.poo
Thanks for the info Max, that sounds promising. Very strange to have access permissions but not "see" permissions... never heard of that in my other computing experience. Now to find somebody to help me. I wonder if I can use SDK to install games there and see some directory structure in the emulated device to answer the question? I did a google search for Plants vs Zombies and found one guy saying it's impossible with that game, rooted or not... but I still want to find out for myself.

Well, I'm having trouble installing PvZ on my virtual device, but I have some other things installed and would like to browse my device directories, but I think they are all buried in .img files in my virtual device on my Windows machine. Any tips on getting inside these .img files to look around?

It's the way linux permissions work. If a folder has execute but not read permissions, you can access subfolders and files, but cannot read the folder contents. If one of the files in it has read access, you can copy it, even though you can't see the actual file listing.

This appears to be untrue.
I finally found (via another forum) the complete path to one of the saved game files I was interested in:
/data/data/com.zeptolab.ctr/shared_prefs/CtrApp.xml
So I tried in terminal: "cat /data/data/com.zeptolab.ctr/shared_prefs/CtrApp.xml > /sdcard/test.xml"
result: "/data/data/com.zeptolab.ctr/shared_prefs/CtrApp.xml: Permission denied"

Ahh... so frustrating. I want to upgrade to 2.3.5 rooted, and if I know for sure I have to lose these files, then I guess I'll lose them. But if there is any way at all to save them obviously I want to figure that out before I cross the point of no return...
i use game emulators to play some gba games and im wondering how to back up the data so i can continue at the same spot on a new phone?
im using a nexus s, no root.
edit:
would it work if i just copy the folder i saved the roms in?

i believe so. just make sure you copy all of the files in the folder to the respective folder on your new phone (the file that contains the game data is the file that has the extension ".sav", something like that. that is the file that you want to make sure that you copy over. the actual rom file, which i believe is a zip file, can always be redownloaded but of course it is easier to just copy it along with the .sav file).
So I got my shield last week and have rooted it and I have been able to move all my apps to external sd. So far so good, but I want to move my save game from construction simulator to my shield. I don't have a problem getting the files off my m8 but I can't paste them to the folder in the mnt directory of the shields internal memory. I think I don't have permissions to write to it. Does anyone know how I can change this? I searched the forum but can't find it.
Thanks,
Sam.
The shield rocks!!!

The only way I know how to change permissions is by downloading ES File Explorer, long press on a file / folder and tap "Properties". From there you can change permissions. Keep in mind that ES File Explorer will only work if you have SuperUser or SuperSU installed on your rooted device.
In your case I bet you can change the permissions of the "mnt directory" to both read and write. Let me know if it worked out
Thanks for the reply, I checked what you said about the permissions in the file Explorer, it turns out the write permission was fine, I just didn't have the root Explorer option ticked!
I don't know why but I stuffed around trying to copy files from my phone to my shield and couldn't get it working. And then I figured titanium backup would make things much easier, made a backup on my phone, emailed it to my shield and bang construction simulator is ready to play with my profile loaded.
Thanks for the help, next time I'll make it easier on myself!

Most games ask you to download additional data like talking tom2,and also obb data like dead trigger,asphalt8 etc but obb data exceeds 100mb not all the people have wifi connection some migth have only mobile like me data if you have a game that you want in another mobile but dont know how to get that mobile game data into yours then go on reading,so this is how it goes
REQUIRMENTS
two mobiles,one with the game and data and one which you want the game in
I have galaxy tab 2 with dead trigger1 and nokia x(in which i want dead trigger)

7.then cut and paste the file to the daed trigger folder you made
8.then close the explorer and open the game just connect to internet once
9.it just recognizes the files and opens
10.your work is done enjoy the cool game
FOR DATA
its easy for obb but when it comes to data it becomes difficult take talking tom ig you go to android then data go to talking tom 2 folder u can see a thousand files if you follow the first method for this ,making folder sub folder etc etc it would take days so lets do it simpler
1.send the talking tom 2 apk to nokia x from tab
2.install its just 15mb
3.every knows that you cant send a whole folder through bluetooth or any way
4.this is where es file explorer comes into action make a zip of the talking tom 2 folder
5.send it to the x then open talking tom 2 app your work is still not done it shows connect to internet
6.close app and open es file explorer go to the zip of talking tom 2 u sent from tab
7.extract the zip then open it it has a folder with the same name of the zip in it
8.cut and paste it in android/data
9.then open the app from app drawer

Is it possible to save or extrack games with progress in apk file. I searched on web for such an app but couldn't find any.I have used helium backup app but it requires root access which makes it impossible to restore game with progress on non rooted device.So I was thinking of a way to make it more simple and universal , just like an app extractor.
More simple words:
(Extract game from rooted phone with progress and save it as apk file then install the apk file on non rooted phone and keep the same progress in game)
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
You can use ES file explorer to make a backup of the APK and then open your Android folder(or you may have a folder for the game that isn't in the Android folder) on internal sdcard and find the folder that is associated with the game and copy that folder, it contains your game data.
Then you take the APK backup and the copied folder containing the app data for that game and manually install the APK on the other device then move the copied folder to the Android folder(or if there was a folder for the game not in Android folder then place the copied folder in the same location it was in on the other device) and you should have what you want.
