While I'm sure this has been gone over many times (I tried searching and found nothing), I am wondering if there is a way to keep game save data after deleting an app. My iPhone is only 8GB, and 5GB are used for music... Needless to say, I need to delete apps quite frequently to make room. Any suggestions?
Sure there is, you just have to jailbreak There's an app that lets you backup your apps, you can then SSH them to your computer so they're safe.
Jailbreak community understands your plite, and made an app for that. Apple understands your plite, and made a bigger better iDevice with more storage, and a heavier price tag. Choose your friends wisely.
Yes..but if you want to add that game's save data back you have to restore using the backup, which means everything else gets overwritten.
I understand ^^ I tried once, but found my device to be less responsive, and messy. Plus some custom apps like Cydia were having ads, which was giving an overall feeling of cheapness. Cydia inner categories weren't clear at all to my taste, too. Generally, it felt like my device was not being upgraded, but clumsily fiddled. So I restored the real OS not long after Coming from an HTC TyTn II, I was used to wander in xda-developpers forum, tweak the OS and flash the ROM every single month (there were custom OS improvements very regularly). Then I tried iPhone, and holy pooh, its clarity, fluidity and simplicity just made my whole year. So when I look back at Jailbreak, I don't regret to be using Apple's OS ^^ Personal taste, somehow.
Newer releases of Plus+ and OpenFeint offer the possibility to save user data on the server - so can keep your saved states when switching the device. The problem here is: developer need to implement this feature into their games. I dont know exactly which games support server-saved data like this. But at least its possible.
yeah, i would love for my minigore kills to be saved on a server. i hate the idea of starting over... or i will never get sensei! chris.
