Backing up stock game data? - Xperia Play General

So I downloaded MyBackup because I am going to unlock my bootloader tomorrow. I want to save all of my game data, like Asphalt 6, on the SD Card. the thing is, these arent recognized as market applications and I cannot back their data up. How can I proceed?

Copy it to your computer or use a different sd card

Switching SD cards on currently rooted DINC.

Got a question to which I haven't been able to find the answer to. I'm switching from an 8gb to 16 gb sd card on a rooted dinc with s-off, 2.5 radio and stock 2.1 rom. Do I need to root again or will the phone read the card and everything is the same?
Also, had anyone tried a 32 gb card.
Thanks

32GB card is definitely great, I love mine!
As far as swapping, if you have done the unrevoked3 method of rooting then you are fine. The original root method left busybox on the sdcard, in which case it just needed to be swapped over. But now, you're golden.
Where is busybox located on the sd card?

If you rooted by using the race condition (where you had to use a loop batch and pop in/out your memory card) then busy box will be on /sdcard. If you used unrevoked3 then it is internally on your phone.
Either way if you are rooted, I'd recommend the busy box installer app from the market. It keeps it up to date for you

Nice. Thanks guys. Might go pick up a 32gb instead of a 16gb.

I believe that the original root's update.zip copied busybox from the SD card to the filesystem.

It's just /sdcard, not /system/sdcard
Whoops sorry for the error!

Damaged SD card, can't fix...

I have liberated aria, app2sd (cooked into liberated r12), and my sd card reports as damaged. I've resigned myself to format this card, but it keeps reporting as damaged whether I format using Android or Clockwork. Don't have a PC available to format, and have not yet tried removing the ext partition. (Didn't want to lose all my apps.)
Anyone have any thoughts?

I had the same scare with a new SD card also. After I formatted using a pc, it was ok.

I figured I'd have to plug it into a PC. I guess I'll do that when I get home Monday.
Thanx for the help.

When I put it in a card reader, it was slow as heck to read and format the card, but format it did.
It also left my ext partition intact.

[Q] Formatting SD card

My SD card is really cluttered and I just want to reformat it, I was just wondering if there's a speacial way to reformat? Or do I just right click the drive on my computer and click format?

Trying to install Fieldrunners HD ! Getting " Application Not Installed "

Its the one from the Amanzon App Store. I have an account and its linked to my phone. I know the trick for most apps like Angry Birds is to unmount the sd card and install. Usually that works but for this game its to large so it needs the sd card. Anyone experience this problem or have any working solutions?

it just went right on for me... no hassles
You have a stock Streak? I am on official build 3.18 with perf. fix and superuser update plus custom recovery mod Dr. version designed for Streak non beta. I wonder if has something to do with my sd card its a 32gb model.

I also downloaded the .apk from another site and put it in my systems app directory in my phone without the sd card and still got the exact same error. It doesnt even take it a second to spit back that it cant install it. Its like its not even trying.

Found Solution!
Found Game .apk online.
Copied it to phone via root explorer to /data/apps
Unmounted sd card and waited for 5 seconds [did not do this before]
Installed Game .apk by clicking on it in Root Explorer in /data/apps
Mounted sd card
BAM! Working!
I have no idea why this worked but it did!

[Q] Apps2SD?

Is there anyway to move apps to SD? I know they took out the feature in ICS, but maybe via an app or something? 8GB is pretty small when you take away a gig for a rom slot...

better yet, has anyone figured out if you can flip flop the internal and external sd locations so the phone thinks your external sd card is the primary? I know this was possible on the X2 and the RAZR's.
I have the memory switch .zip file, but no way to install it on my rooted Droid RAZR M
I was curious how difficult would out be to just rename the internal storage from sd card to internal storage? If that is possible then we could just rename external to sd card then we should be able to move apps to the card easily.

Tried an app from the market and it seems working: GL to SD. need root access

nah. tried renaming them last week or so and it not only didnt work, the damn things renamed themselves upon reboot. im pretty pissedf about the memory on this phone cuz the phone itself is pretty snappy.
Dang I guess Motorola has this phone on lock down. I used my EVO 4g to copy songs over to my SD card and once I inserted it back in and tried to mount it, it kept saying blank, so I rebooted my phone and it showed up. If I wasn't as smart as I am I would have probably formatted the damn thing lmao I was wondering if they did that as a minor precaution to people trying to hack the phone with something on the SD card, but then again I'm sure if they did a reboot wouldn't have made it show up then.

So were you able to move anything other than game data to your ext sd? It let me move dropbox, but nothing else showed up on its list of transferable files.
