Backup Game Data Android - Kids Tablet

hobbit666

So for my 9yr old birthday I bought her a new ASUS PAD 10 android tablet as her "old" one the touch screen started to go. Got it all set up and running and she happily started to download games onto it. One game she likes is "Dragon City" on her old pad she was level 25 but of course on the new pad it's started a fresh.

Is there a good app/method to get game data from one device to another. Remember she is 9 so there is no Facebook to login with. I need to "transfer" the save data on the pad (if possible)

Does it not get saved via your google account on playstore?

I assume that the device is not rooted, so try helium backup.

I'm afraid the data is scattered all around the file system. There seems to be no real standard for placing app data, it can be whereever your user has write access to. Best would be to USB-mount the phone.

When you need to mount your internal storage on some Linux system, see here for some details: https://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/connectmount-android-mobile-phone-internal-storage-in-linux/
. Filesystem is most probably yaffs (prior Android 2.3), ext4, f2fs (Samsung), gvfs or anything else the running kernel can mount. See here for more details: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/95678/which-filesystem-do-android-use.

Next, search the filesystem for your data. Maybe by date written? Put it back to the same place on your new device. Should work.

Helium backup takes care of this, you can just select the app you want to backup and it saves all related files. For some apps you need to download the app from playstore and use helium to restore user data to that.

Did try that but couldn't transfer the back and get it to restore but reading around helium seems the best option for success
