I'm in a pickle here. You see, I'm planning on changing phones, but I can't access the save files due to android restrictions. Do you think you could help me with this bit? Or maybe have the save files in an accessible folder, because I need to root to access it, which requires a long time of work, like unlocking the bootloader, which could take who knows how long, then rooting it, which can be unsafe. I tried Adb, but somehow, android blocked access to it too. I hope you have an answer.
Since the latest version, you can start a new game at the latest update. So by the time the next version comes out, you'll be able to continue without having lost progress.
As for transferring the save data, the best you can attempt is to backup your data and transfer it to your new phone. Some people have succeeded and others couldn't get it to work, so YMMV.
Thanks for the reply. But I already know those who succeeded had root access to android data. Without it, I can't do a full backup, so I'm kind of stuck. There's no other apps that can bypass it unless you have root or system access.
I was hoping you could do what mobile Terraria did, where they moved the save file locations to a non-system folder, if possible, please. I think that might be my only hope, or else I'll have to restart all of it again...
By the way, unrelated to the save file problem. I noticed the game had black bars on top and on bottom, making the game screen smaller. Do you think you can do something to it too? I know it's not a functional problem, but that would help my eyes, so I'll be grateful. Thanks in advance.
As Zakko said as of the latest version you can pick up at the new content, so no, you wouldn't have to start all over again, just 06.5 at the least or, if you wait til the next update, you could pick up with everything completed already.
The black bars on the sides are due to the aspect ratio of the game not matching the common aspect ratio of phones, it's not something we can adjust without editing all existing art or seriously messing up the image/UI view
When I suggested trying to back it up, I was not referring to manually finding the save files because as you mentioned that requires root access. I simply meant standard programs that back up apps for you, as some people have had success in those transferring the save data. The mobile version uses the browser version, "wrapped" to work on mobiles, so the save data is not stored in the same manner and we cannot change that unfortunately. That is why we provide the feature to skip to the latest content.
Ah, I see. So that's how they're stored. Thanks. I'll try and see if it transfers properly to the new phone. Gotta have to look for backup apps because Google one isn't gonna back it up because it's not from the play store.

Ah, is that so. That's a bummer. I guess I'll just push through it, even if my eyes wouldn't really like it. Thanks for the reply though.
