My wife and I are about to get the One today. My wife's Inspire if stock and not rooted. But she has a lot of games saved on it. I am trying to find out if there is any way I can get her saved games over to the One with out rooting either phone. My Inspire I have always has rooted with Titanium Backup. I am not use to trying to do this with a non-rooted phone.
Thanks for your help

Don't believe you can. Someone asked this question awhile back and forgot the reasoning why you couldn't do it. Someone could correct me if I'm wrong.

if he was using switchrom on his SD, wouldnt it work with the script in /system/sd/ ?
I'm assuming it's the apps you don't want to reinstall one by one.

thnx.. if i do this, then the market wud show my apps installed without having to install them one by one?
DUDE! INSTALL "BACKUP FOR ROOT USERS" it saves EVERYTHING about your phone to a folder in your sd card. what do i mean by everything? settings, apps, dictionary...install that and SAVE the file to your comp thatway when the replacement comes you can root and put that sd card that has the 3 partitions in there and go to the market and redownload backup for root users and then restore everything! its how i survive switching hero roms lol
Does anyone know how to backup savegame files from android games? with all the great roms coming out i need to know this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Titanium did it! but i would still like to know if this could be done through another way

That was the only way I was going to suggest, other than other backup methods. QtADB (a Windows or Linux program) can backup your apps and data to your SD card. If you have a wireless network, you can even use the market app Wireless ADB (I think it's called) and use QtADB wirelessly to backup your apps or transfer files.
I have made it a good way into pokemon, but now I need to wipe and restore my phone so is there any way to back up the app to be able to restore it? I dont really care how I do it I just need to get it saved. Please help!

U got a couple of options. If ur decently familiar with adb u can backup its folder inside /data/data and then restore it, unless it saves on ur sdcard then u got now worries. If ur new to this, use the script in my signature, its called backup manager. Its a batch file so if ur on windows and have adb working ur good to go.
Thanks, but Im on vacation and dont want to go thru all the work to get adb up and running so if you had any other ideas that would be great.
Ok then get a file explorer app such as root explorer. Browse to /data/data and look for ur apps folder, back it up to ur sdcard n ur good to go.
Im using gbcoid and it saves as a .sav file in the directory of my roms folder. Just a suggestion but i think its time to switch emulators.

I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really)

Reggie 777, thanks for asking this question. I've been trying to figure out the same thing and asked about it in another thread but didn't get a clear answer.
So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.
Thanks

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.
Do it on your own Risk. it worked for me.. it may not work for you.
***Both Devices Must be rooted (Gtab and Other) Most of the Custom Roms are rooted.***
If you can see on you Android phone/Android device you can get that app onto Gtab with this few simple steps.
Let assume the device is your phone where you can see almost all the apps.
1. Have Titanium Backup (Free Or Paid) on both the device. (Phone/Gtab)
2. Download the the app you want onto your first device (Phone)
3. Backup with Titanium backup.
4. Connect phone to computer and copy files from Titanium Backup folder to desktop. (**** EACH APP WILL HAVE 3 FILES in TB mostly with something in front of the name and back of the name (app name).
For E.g (Names of the files in TB)
File 1. com.jhankis.animalsounds-5ac99359265f229c03bb8cb19c0afc71.apk
File 2. com.jhankis.animalsounds-20110401-041026.properties
File 3. com.jhankis.animalsounds-20110401-041026.tar
5. Now Connect your GTAB to computer and Copy the Files from Step 4. to GTAB Titanium Backup folder.
6. Reboot GTAB (Power Off and Power On).
7. Open Titanium Backup app
8. Click Menu (on GTAB)
9. Click on Batch
10.[Run] Restore all app's with Data.
11. Select the app u copied and Restore.** APPS ONLY NOT DATA**.
you will have those apps on you GTAB.
Hope this helps ... I did it and it worked for me with no issues. (did for my 2yr old son's fav apps)
Any questions PM me.. If this helped u. please press that thanks button.
I hope Moderator will make it sticky... If no one else posted. Cos i did not find this trick any where.
You can sync Ti Backup with Dropbox as well.

Personally I never used bropbox.. So not sure. These steps worked for me, I'm happy.
You can use Astro App Backup and backup the apks, then plug your phone directly into your G Tab's USB and set your phone to mass storage mode. Then navigate to the phone in the file manager and install the apks you want located under the directory Astro saves backups.
Not all apps can be backed up. I've tried both Astro and Titanium to backup Need for Speed Shift and neither works.

I was going to suggest this method, as your phone doesn't need to be rooted then.
All these ways work. I use astro to back up then put in on dropbox. Just be careful about restoring the data to your apps if you use tb. Some roms won't like that very much.

Tried plugging Nexus One into usb on GTab and nothing happened on either end; saw no usb connected message on N1 and nothing on Tab. Do I need special drivers on Gtab or something?
Thanks
Estrongs file manager
... is a file manager with LAN capabilities. When I'm on the couch and need to swap files between my android devices. I just upload to m PC then download to my other device. I think its relatively quick and simpler than toggling Bluetooth between devices.
And I could b wrong but I was unaware that there was anybody that has plugged there phone into their tab for a direct wired android to android communication. thought the code for this hasn't been implemented.

Or?
You can simply use Bluetooth File Transfer and bypass all the extra steps listed on here..
This is a device to device app, pc not necessary.
