Can you remove a game but keep the save? - Ouya General

I need more storage.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe something like Titanium Backup could find the data file and back it up. I'm not sure how many people have tried to backup OUYA game data.

With such small storage space you need to be able to save your fills if you. delete a game. More storage is what we need.

Isn't there already a solution (app) that can move data files off to a HDD?
I haven't tried Titanium Backup on Ouya but with root access, it should work. Google has support for cloud saves but without the framework I don't think this is an option.
DataSync+ requires root and backs up data to the cloud. It also will auto search your network for other DataSync devices and allow syncing (so you can keep multiple devices in sync).
If you have a large drop box or box.net storage this is probably your best option.

I need to know if there a place to find just the save data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

this is more game dependent. I know you can with GTA3 and GTAVC. The files are in the android/data directory and are composed of the three files. The large extra files are stored in the android/ogg directory. You just need to start a game after reinstalling, than can replace with your old game saves.
Other games, you'll have research or experiment.
Some games have where you can save to the cloud and sync, such ad Dead Trigger. This allows to play across multiple devices easily.

Gta3 is side loaded that doesn't help with things like sonic or a bards tale. I just thought they would have a update for this and to make more storage. You can even go to a list of the games you own so you know what you have.

OTG storage question

OK mine is working..have a 32gb flash drive. I'm running low on space on my Nexus so was wondering how to move some of the high MB games. TDKR, Bards Tale, etc. They are not moveable with app2sd. I find them with root explorer but there are several files in different locations. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.

You can move them with OTG but then you wouldn't be able to play them... If you aren't planning on playing them, why not delete them and reinstall when you want to play?
I am not aware of an easier to do what you're asking.
OK. I was hoping I could still play them. I only have about 4 GB left and I don't like being so low on space. I'm still playing so I'll just leave as is for now. Thanks.

Nexus 7 complete system backup help

Hey, I'm new to android (own all apple gear, iPhone, iPad, ATV ect.) I just purchased a nexus 7 about a month ago and am pretty comfortable with it now. I rooted and unlocked and am wondering how I make a full system back up. I have been reading web pages and forms for days and found thousands of methods but most require a insane amount of steps and various programs. I'm just wondering if someone can let me know of a app that allows a complete backup (ie. All my apps, games and saves, settings, screen layout) kind of like a iCloud backup.
P.S. I'm aware of titanium backup, from what I'm reading all this app does is back up apps/games and their settings/saves along with everything else out there... I want to save everything ! Including my screen setup, widgets, settings, everything
Thx !

Titanium backup, save your apps with your apps data.

But does titanium back up settings...like home screens set up for example?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Use a custom recovery like twrp or cwm,easiest full backup ever.If you want to be able to update or change rom with same apps and data after install then titanium is a god send.

Of course, titanium backup apps and it's data. Means, all your setting or score (games) will be backed up.

I'm happy with twrp it handles the encryption does everything I need

Google drive

I was saving some ps1 roms on Google drive. When I transfer them onto my phone they won't load, something changes the files. Now when I use adrive I have no issues. I was wondering if anyone knows what's happening.

No one's going to help you with pirates APKs. Root your Ouya and install Google Play.
I was getting pretty low frame rate dips with vice city

If you have them on your nexus, you can use es filemanager to backup the apks to the internal storage, then copy them to your pc.
You can also use a program called RealAPK Leecher, and log in with your google account. It will let you download the apks for apps you own on the google play store.

Also, just fyi, before i got the play store working on the ouya, i found out that if you just try to launch the apks, you will get an error. it checks the google store for purchase authorization, and if it doesnt find the store on your ouya, it wont download the data files. If the data files are already in place, it works fine. If you have the games already installed on your nexus, you can copy the data files from there onto the ouya. I copied them from my nook, and it worked fine.
do as the above post says, including copying the ogg data files over. After you start a game on the Ouya, you can copy your save games from the data directory to the Ouya.
The games run fine. But you may want to use a PS3 or something because the Ouya controller doesn't have a start button so you can't access the menu system. It's just a quirk.
Thanks I will give it a try.

Samsung Kies if your on windows/os x
I don't have access to a laptop or computer are there any other options
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
does kies include saving app data like saving game progress, for example you reach level 10 of a certain game with 100 credits, etc . kies is cumbersome for transferring text messages.. not sure if it will work with whatsapp messages too.
i am asking this because soon i will upgrade too to the note 3 and I dont root also. how about the titanium/helium i keep hearing about? thanks, thanks
I tried helium but it kept asking to connect to computer I thought I could just save to sd card

Good Luck with the backup. I found whilst moving from IOS to Android that the backup for non rooted devices leaves a lot to be desired. This is one area Sammy needs to get sorted out properly. I mean can they not emulate / copy itunes or somethng? lol
itunes saves app data? sorry im clueless about apple-related stuff lol.
some of the games i play can be stored in google cloud but i am not sure if it will work properly on a new phone.
craigel, from what i understand, for sd cards you can store pics, files, etc, as well as apps, just not the complete app data if i am not mistaken
Don't rely on kies. It's garbage.
Try Mybackup
