Actually I can with all the other app but not with minecraft pe.

I have two touchpads running android CM7 alpha 3 and they both have the purchased Minecraft PE. I need to give the 16gb away this Christmas and transfer the minecraft pe data(8 years old spent hours on it and didn't want him to start over) from that one over to the 32gb. It sounds easy enough using Titanium backup.

Here is what I have tried since I am rooted on both touchpads:

Use Titanium to backup the data on the 16gb. Copied the three files for com.mojang.* that I found under Titanium backup to the 32gb touchpad in the Titanium backup folder.

On the 32GB touchpad, I deleted the minecraft pe app and then use titanium backup to restore app and data. It went fine but when I start minecraft pe, the world did not transfer over. So I deleted the apps again and this time installed it from the market. I then use Titanium to back up only the data. Again Titanium said fine but minecraft started with it's own brand new world.

Okay, let me try appextractor.

Boot to recovery and nandroid the 16GB touchpad. Moved copied of nandroid over to the 32gb touchpad and start appextractor. Tell it to extract app from that nandroid backup and it CAN'T EVEN find the com.mojang.minecraftpe. WTF?

I thought I did something wrong so I went to the 16 GB touchpad and started the appextractor there and looked at the backup I just did. It found everything but the com.mojang.minecraftpe in the ../data/app.

I don't know where minecraft pe installed itself but it wasn't under where all the other apps are installed and not in the system/app folder either.

The only traces I found of com.mojang.minecraftpe was under ..data/data.

Using es explorer with root permission and mounting it as r/w, I copied that com.mojan.minecraftpe from the 16gb touchpad to the sdcard. I then connected it to my pc so I can transfer it to the 32 gb touchpad. Since I can
t copy it to ..data/data directly with the pc, I made an interim copy to /sdcard. Remove the 32gb touchpad and use es explorer to copy it to data/data. It said copy failed no matter how many time. Why would it allow me to delete what is in ..data/data but not write to it.

Frustrated, I uninstalled, then reinstalled minecraft pe on the 32gb touchpad, went to ..data/data and deleted the .com.mojang.minecraftpe folder. The game still starts fine and NONE of the game data was deleted! Apparently the game data was not kept there either.


What is my next step? Install the 16gb nandroid backup onto the 32gb touchpad? That should thereotically give me an indentical copy of the 16gb touchpad but none of the above methods that thereotically should work has work.
