Migrate Game Saves

[thunderclap82]

My kids have the 2015 7” Kindle Fire. I just bought the 2020 8” model and would like to migrate their saved games/game progression to the new ones. I did have games installed from both the Amazon App Store and Google Play. My first attempt to do this was by backing up and restoring but that didn’t work (not surprising for Google Play games) even for the Amazon App Store games. So then I FTP’d onto the phones and transferred over the Android directory which seemed to include all apps/games but that didn’t work either.

So my question is where are the saved/progress files for the games located so I can move them over?

Thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! It depends on the game and how they coded it to save game progress. Some games might have a saved game folder that's accessible to the user, but others might save that data to a protected system directory. Use a file manager to look in the /Android or /data directory, and look through the subdirectories to find ones that might be related to the games you're interested in.
