I've been testing out different ROMs ever since the device could be rooted, so every week I find myself starting the games from scratch. Is there a way to back up game saves or progress? Tried it myself but was not successful.
The only game that I know off is Robo Defense...the game saves are in the sd card. You can email the DEV of the game and see if he can do like Robo in his/her next update?
Game/application saves are stored in data/data. You just need to copy a correct folder to backup it. You can use SUFBS or terminal emulator/adb etc. to do this.

I have about 1.01GB of Gameloft files on my internal SD and copying them back from a full format/reflash firmware takes close to 1hr, is there a way for this to be stored on my external SD and still work with lag fixes and such ?
wait for froyo
then it can be done
before froyo it's not possible
as you need to keep the game data in the Internal SD

I only see move game data thats like 7-10MB large the entire game files still sit on the internalSD
Does anyone know some kind of a method to point the game files over to the external_SD? its really a pain restoring about 3,000 game files thats barely over 1.5GB takes hours!
Sorry for bumping this, but did anyone figure this out on froyo 2.2 or 2.2.1?
Never got this resolved, I would like to have all of my game data on the external_SD
exactly, im looking very hard for this questions to be resolved..but i tried searching elsewhere in other forums and there too did not provide any best answers...can anyone out there help us out pls
Not possible for mobile games
I also have tons of game data, especially gameloft's. I do really want to keep it in my external SD. So whenever I reinstall my system and the games, I can just simply put my extSD back in, then the game loads.
But as far as I know, this currently not possible even in froyo. App like Apps2SD can move apps to extSD, but not the game data, which are too big.
Even if it could, with the data that big I wonder how long should it take to load all the apps in the applications list when we run it to -- let's say uninstall other apps?
To prevent this, the dev separate the game from the data but I think the game is programmed to search the data path to internal SD by default, and could not be changed.
This is just like in PC, the default 'savegames' folder will be created separately and each game has it's own place. Some chose to be in the installation folder, others in my documents... So on...
And when we reinstall our PC OS then reinstall the games, we must restore our savedgames from our backups that we have copied in other disk, to the game default save folder.
Unfortunately, for mobile games the data are not just for the savedgames, but also for the main game resources... Which are too damn big and takes time to restore... Hmmm...

I can confirm that solution here works
I have been playing around with trying to make a Titanium backup of my phone's apps and data that can easily be moved over to the g tablet. I currently have been
making the backup
swapping the sd card
copying files from sdcard2/TitaniumBackup to sdcard/TitaniumBackup then batch restoring the apps and files.
I will play around to see if this process could be easier, possibly automated.
I'll keep you posted.
Anyone else working on this or have any alternative solution?
Check out the Titanium Backup sync to Dropbox feature, you might be able to configure it in a way that would accomplish your goal.
I have set up dropbox sync, but uploading/downloading takes quite some time. I started another thread about how I would like to be able to connect my DX to the G tablet via usb. If I could get that to work transfering files would be faster and I wouldn't have to swap sdcards all the time.
I just found a post about using an app called aFileSync. http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/afilesync_nxn.html I'll try to play around with it and see if it works. If I can get it to work well, I will write up a FAQ.
I just would really like to be able to keep all my app settings/savestates/etc from my phone and my tablet.

FTP works well over a good wifi connection...that is what I use for transfers to / from PC
Astro also has a SMB module that I use when I want to access files on network shares
Update:
I have got my data to go across both my DX and Gtablet.
I made a label for all the apps (mostly games) that I want to backup. Backup on titanium. Sync to dropbox. On the other device I open dropbox, download the titanium files, move the files into my /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, open titanium and restore. It takes less than a minute to complete.
It isn't automated like I would have originally hoped, but at least it works!
what app created this directory with a bunch of crap in it. on my internal sd card. Seems to be related to android games when searching on it.
I deleted it.. and android market and google market still work..
it could be a lot of games.
happened to me loadsa times, its nothing to worry about. so just keep / delete if you want.
it doesnt take up much space. i think its game save / online rank related.
so i got rio from the amazon store.
now that the update is out it never shows as needing it. i've done the refresh my apps option. tried a couple times and restarted the phone.
i dont know if this is device specific but id rather not lose all my stars in order to update.
ideas?
You have to uninstall old version in order to play new one. Try RIO backup to save all your stars
it doesnt backup the fruits i had every one of them in the first world.
thanks though this saves the stars at least
you can unlock all fruits with UnlockRIO11 ........
strangely enough it backed up my fruits too! awesome.
now i can actually transfer my scores to my tablet too.
does anyone know why rovio hasn't gave us online scores like on the iphone?
Have the may levels come out yet?

I didnt have to uninstall the game, I just noticed it said it couldnt update to the card, so i looked in the apps and in the settings i noticed it was installed to the sd card, which i didnt do, it must do it that way automatically, i guess, so i just told it to move it to my phone and i updated again...and viola, it worked...
I had the same problem with my phone
here is the manipulation was done in order to update the game
1- Move the application on internal memory of device
2- Make free space on internal memory
3- Go to the Android Market to make the update
4- (optional) Move he application on SD memory
Hi all,
I remember from the days of Windows phone 7, when we had root access, I was able to grab some XML based files from my games on my phone, back them up and when I restored, drop these back in the folders and continue off where I was before.
The nice thing about Windows 10 Mobile, If you had some games that were DE-LISTED, you can go into your history and re-download them even though they are not in the store any more.
SO now that I have Interop unlock on my ICON/929, I would like to backup a few save games from a few games that has been de-listed that I downloaded and I am going to capture the app, so if I end up having to hard reset for the next build, I can just restore these files to the folders, like I used to.
Just 3-4 games, that I know will not be backed up by Microsoft's so called backup option that needs a Dev to update their app for (and older games that are never updated will NEVER have this feature)
Where are the app saves located for Apps on Windows Phone 8.1 / 10 ? I did a search on here and it could not find anything that would point me in the right direction, just old stuff from WP7 that is not the same on 8.1.... If there is a good link with all this info, if you can provide it for me, THANKS !
Thanks in advance !
