I bought a game online and it gave me a .apk file which I installed on my phone. I have done this a few times (without going through Android Market).
In the past, I have updated these games with the new .apk, example Fruit Ninja, and lost all data. I am going to update a new game and don't want to lose data again... How can I prevent data loss? I hate restarting games after months of playing it!
I am rooted if that helps because someone told me to try Titanium Backup but that never worked. I installed the new file, then did a data restore. I can't open the new game...
Thank goodness it let me restore my data and app that I had before.
Hi there,
here's a little trick how to speed up your game of "crime story" by easily increasing/restoring your energy and reducing the "cop-level".
***Be advised: If you lose your stats or damage your game, I will not take resposibility. Tampering the files happens at your own risk!***
1. Make sure your phone is rooted.
2. Use Root-Explorer (or the likes) to find the folder
[data/]data/com.gameinsight.crimestory/files
3. open the file "boost.prefs" with the editor and enter 40000. (This number tells the game, how long you left the game "untouched"). [If you use Root-Explorer delet the automatically generated file "boost.prefs.bak" before you restart the game]
4. Restart the game and your energy-level will be filled up again. Also, the cop-level should be 0 again (if you want to avoid the cop showing up, edit "boost.prefs" before you reach level 50!)
Whenever your Energy-Level is low or the Cop-Level too high, just leave the game, edit "boost.prefs" to 40000 and continue!!! Have fun;-)

BTW: in the same folder there's the file "playerStates.amf" with your status, cash and coins (called "FBmoney"), experience etc., however, whenever I edited the numbers, the game would start all over again from the beginning (course I backed this file up, so I could continue from where i was, no damage was done). Just said that in case anyone smarter than me is interested trying to get that working;-)
PS: Sorry, guess i ended up in the wrong thread. @Mods: it'd be great if you moved me to "Android Apps and Games" THANX!
Trick is not working anymore.
lol it says Go away cheaters!!!!
Sorry if this is off-topic but I'd really like to know if there's a way to do this.
I recently finished the Galaxy on Fire 2 storyline on easy and wanted to replay it on the hard setting (yes, I think it is THAT good )
So I started the game and in between I reflashed the newest version of Prime, having previously backed all up with TB.
Sadly (I have no clue why) TB failed on me and the folder was empty, fortunately I had also backed up the Android data folder on the internal SD where the GOF2 save files were so I copied them back... to my surprise the game saves were on the easy setting again!!!
So here's the question, does anyone know of a way to modifying the save files to set the game to hard without starting all over?
Thanks
Seems like noone compiled a guide to manually backup game save.

I've been looking for a thread like this for days. This is the only way to backup games if the phone isn't rooted. Is it possible to actually list every file instead of just saying the entire directory? Or are there too many files. Because to copy the file without root, you must know the exact file name.
Here's the ones I've gotten so far

* = I found some files on the SD card, so maybe that's it. But I would still appreciate if someone checked /data/data files for me
Another app that deserves recognition for this stuff is SaveShare.
Finally updated this guide with your infos + the where's my water/perry serie heavily tested by me
Strangeley i can't find where are MC3 files ??? but that excellent saveshare tool can backup it
do you know where the save file is located for mass effect infiltrator?

Not exactly, i know for sure it's somewhere near the dead space one, because you can backup it with Titanium. Based of this knowledge and dates on my phone i would say :
data/data/com.ea.games.meinfiltrator_row/files/var/settings.db

In order to do it I would need to root my phone and the tablet I would like the game to transfer to? Or can I do it without root? I tried to find that director but there is nothing under the 'files' folder on my phone. except for something called game skeleton.
Finally updated with MC3 infos, but that do not work between samsung version and market version ...
I can confirm that destinia doesn't work. ****.
Any knows where are saves for Drag Racing? I want to copy those files. Root is not a problem.
Files are saved into "/data/data/com.creativemobile.DragRacing/files"
Note that on latest version of DragRacing we have save152.dat and save15.dat, and not just save.dat
Hacked latest app for RP and cash. Here, this might help:

What ??? JB is a minor update and ALL these games are (of course) working on it.
Asphalt 7 require root. But why would you backup manually when the game can backup itself on a facebook account or a gameloft account ?

Can you do it for "Undead Slayer"?
Many thanks.
Hi to everyone. I have a suspect. Maybe, for both the "cut the rope" games, there's a new simple way to backup the save data game. Just like "pudding monsters", there's two files located in
sdcard/ZeptoLab/Cut the Rope
Maybe we could simply copy and restore them .
If someone try, it could be a great news for game lover like us
Victory!!! I've just tried between my paid version of "Cut The Rope" and a free versione of the game. It perfectly works. Simply, before copying the file to the new device, clear data of "Cut The Rope". When you start the game, it will ask you if you want to restore the game save data

Does anyone know where the CastleTD save file is located?
Hi guys
is it possible to take my own GTA:SA save game that I still have on my PC and copy them to my android in some way that this will work?
I already tried it, I put my save game files (GTASAsf1.b) in: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtasa/files/
but when I open the game and look at the list of available saved games, there is nothing there! of course I did a backup to my current Game progress before I tried it...
Well, I guess the way each of the games are saved has changed since we are talking about different platforms...
anyway, Is there a way to make it work?
Thanks,
hmm... I installed GTA:VC to try the same thing and no luck...
and yes, I've got all my GTA savegames backed up from PC
