Is there any app/method to achieve this ? I think it would be a generic app, if it exists. But I own a stock Moto G4. Hence, method specific to this device would also suffice.
For example, Fifa Mobile is installed in my device. Now I want to know where are all the associated data, so I can manually copy from the location. I know there are some tools like TItanium Backup or other ( I dont remember), but I guess, those work on rooted device and they simply backup the whole data+apk.
Ok, first off, my G4 is stock and not rooted.
I use File Manager from ZenUI, Asus Computer inc, available at the play store.
Once installed look in the phone's main memory, in the Android folder, sub folder Data.
fifamobile should be there...

I am looking at switching builds but dont want to have to reinstall everything post the new build install on my sd card.
What back up system do people recommend, and do any actually allow a full backup/restore that will work?
If not then i will have to reinstall everything, but that seems a really long winded way about switching builds!
Thanks
I save the data .img file from the current build. Then I copy the new Android folder on the root of the mem stick. Then I put the data .img file from the old intall back in the new folder.
The above suggestion doesn't always work. If you're going to a completely different build then it may cause problems.
I use Titanium Backup Pro. It does cost, but not much and allows a full backup and restore of all apps and data.
i just use the free titanium backup to backup all my apps. google sync for contacts and then all i have to do it set up a couple of things like wifi and it work
I used to use the free version, but the last restore I did had nearly 200 apps in it, and you have to click "install" and then "ok" for every app with the free version. The paid one does it without you needing to do anything - that's the only reason I paid for it. (Oh, and it can freeze apps too, which is good for finding out what would happen if you uninstalled an app.)
Hello all, I am just back from the vodafone store, having picked up my shiney new Xperia play, Desire HD will now be heading onto ebay. However I have many apps on my Desire HD, and also a lot of saved games. Some of my apps, e.g. N64oid, which i paid for in the market, are no longer available. How do I transefr my apps and data. I thought about titanium backup, but as far I know, it needs root access, any ideas?
Not too sure about the save data from my apps, but if you use supermanager, and do a backup, it creates a backup APK folder, just copy this from the old memory card to the new one, and hey presto, new apps to install.
i use adoa file manager, its free from android market. there is an option to backup any app you wish to backup into a folder.
Hey guys!
i want to use TB to backup all my apps and save games - so first i wanted to ask, do i back up user apps AND system Data? or just user apps? also i saw that some stuff in "system data" seems like fundamental things that might change with a new rom.. so how does that work?
2nd,
i used the backup option and put it in the "Downloads" folder, (for easy access), i also have 3 extra pics there.
when i conncet the USB (debugging is on) to the PC and open DOWNLOADS folder in the phone, i only see the 3 files, no TB backup folder,
show hidden files and folders is activated on my PC... also tried this in a few diff folders but nada..
help?
If I'm going to be switching ROMs I usually just backup user data...I've had problems in the past restoring system data on a new ROM.
As far as transferring the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC, its my understanding that since Jellybean (or maybe even ICS, I don't remember) devices connect as MTP devices (and not mass storage) so you can't see non-media files from Windows Explorer.
I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but I've just been using adb to pull the TitaniumBackup folder from the phone. You could probably also just use one of the Samba servers in the Play Store to setup a windows accessible shared drive on your phone and copy the backup folder over wifi.

I ended up downloading it yesterday to try it out, it shows "Enabled - Not Running" on my phone, but I was still able to connect to it from my Linux box (didn't try from Windows yet)
Hi all,
I'm searching the directory for those four apps because I'd like them to remain in their current state after a hard reset:
VocAppUlary
PvZ 2
Offroad Legends
TypeNote
Can you help me? or is there a better way to back those up? It's just those four apps that I'd like.
Thank you in advance .)

You gave us precious few details about your phone, not even what model of S5 or firmware version you have. So it's impossible to give specific advice. Nor do I use your apps. Your apps may store information in the userdata partition and /or internal or external memory.
The best way to back up is with a custom recovery e.g. TWRP. Or in the alternative, something like Titanium Pro.
.
Excuse me, of course:
model: SM-G900F
version: 4.4.2
I will look up your suggested apps.
edit: I have seen the apps through, but root is no option for me because I've already tried and failed the root access. I think, I've done some damage and therefore would like to reset this phone.
2nd edit: I found an app called Helium that does it. There I can back up single apps into files which I can later extract from my internal memory to anywhere I want. The directory of the internal memory to where Helium saves the back up files is called carbon. Thank you for everything .)
Hi guys I've just updated my phone with stock LP with factory reset. After first boot I had a step which allowed me to choose one of my backed up devices (It was the fisrt time I saw this in my life) and four of them were LG G2s (probably form different rom installations.
My question is : how can I access this data over the web? Is there a manager for it ? I don't even know what data is backed up ( I guess applications as it allowed me to choose which applications should it download).
Go here https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard?pli=1 and hit expand all then find there whatever you want/need. However, you can't extract that data but you can find apps in Play Store, phone history (location and such) etc., manage/delete old or inactive G2s (from previous ROM installations) and so on.
