I was wondering if there is anyway I can see my app data. Like lets say I have Pinball and I wanted to find my app data that had like my highscores in it, where it be or how would I find it? I have my Evo rooted also.
Why do you want to find it? To back it up?
All app data is in /data/data/<package name>/ or somewhere on the SD card (/sdcard/data/, etc.)

You can use adb shell, or a file manager like OI File Manager or Root Explorer.

anywhere on the sd card will work, use a file explore program like astro and just click the file and hit the install button. make sure first to go under settings-applications and make sure there is a check mark for unknown sources. that lets you install any apk from your sd card.
you could also just push the file usiong adb but thats more complicated if you're new

Root -> System -> app
Use OI File Manager.

uhm so I need a rooted device to access this, right? there's no other way?
Sorry, my bad.
I didn't mean you need to root the phone. I meant starting from the directory root.
Using OI File Manager, tap on the home icon "A house" then tap system folder then app folder (should be first).
the apk is stored in /data/app/, app data is stored in /data/data/

Cheers. I root phones as soon as I get them so I forget what can and can't be done without it.

Sure did..no answer
I would back it up to the computer, delete the folder and see if anything breaks...
what type of files are in the folder?
Do u have DroidTV installed?

well what exactly is inside of it? DO you have any app that would use a PVR? If not, delete it.
hello ive checked out the other threads about moving apk files from data to system. I was able to accomplish that however when the apk file is moved. it seems as tho im only moving the installer which just puts the installed app back in data/apps. and not considered a system app.
how do i integrate 3rd party apps into the main system?
Backup the apk to your sd card then move it to system/app, boot into cwm, wipe dalvik, and reboot.
Also make sure to have the system/app mounted in r/w mode.
Root Explorer is agoo and easy tool for this function.

when you mean back the apk to sd card. do you mean the installer that located in the data/apps? copy paste backup or titanium

No, like with anttek app manager (found in the market) theres an option when in the app you can scroll through a list of all the apps intalled on your phone, you can tap an app then youll have the option to backup the app and itll save it to your sd card.....

You need root access to read /data
Found the bastards. Astro was no good (even though phone has root privelages could not figure out how to give them to Astro), so used ES File Explorer and was allowed to enabled root privelages. /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
