Transfer data to a new mobile divece

I don't know if anyone else has done this before, but I've manage to transfer data from two different mobile diveces.

I've downloaded the game 4 times already, two in pc and two in mobile. But this last one is interesting.

Recently I got a new tablet and downloaded the game, but I made a lot of progress in my phone, and didn't want to restart again, I wanted to continue that line, but because data is different in mobile that pc, I tried. But then I had an idea, maybe I could pass the data.

My first attempted wasn't successful, I tried using apps that helped me manage data and create folders, my plan was to copy the save files to a different folder that didn't had access to the game and then using an external app to send the information to my tablet, so I could erase my saved files and place the older ones. But the apps couldn't modify anything in the data folder.

So I tried another way, using my PC to directly manage the data, I already done something like that in the past, and made my phone a brick in the process, but now that I knew witch specific files I had to manage I could done it safely and not messing both devices.

I plugged my phone on the PC, copied the folder of my phone and saved it. Then plugged my tablet to the PC, enter to the folder, erase everything inside on put my saved files on it, and unplugged. I opened the app and checked the saved files, there was nothing. I completely erased my past progress, second attempt was also a failure, but that didn't stopped me. I plugged the tablet again and did something different, on the general data folder I copied the whole folder, the PC warned me about that this would fused my folders and maybe same documents with same names would be overwritten, I accept each one individually. Unplugged tablet, close all windows, reopening the game and checking saved files, they were there, my older saved files where there, it was a complete success.

This can help if anyone wants to play the same game on different mobiles and keep older saved game files.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

 As I already said, I used to mess with my phone data folders and make it a useless brick. So you have to pay attention to what you are doing. 

If you didn't had any previous  saved files do this. The folder that is storage on the "Android" folder, then you go to the "data" folder, search for the "com.minoh.minohotel" folder. Copy that folder in your PC. Then on the new mobile diveces enter  into the "data" folder, drag the folder previously saved on the PC and drop it, verify that each one of the files are copied and replaced. Once you finished, unplugged the device, close all tabs, open the game and check if your new files are there.

Hope this works for anyone interested on having the same game on multiple devices or saving previous files.
