Hi Irma,

You'll only find the player.prf if you have "root access" to the file system. "Helium" is the only backup solution I know of that can access the necessary files (after being granted "pseudo root access" using a "Helium Desktop" app running on a PC to which you have to attach the tablet by usb temporarily) though you end up with a zipped .ab file (Android Backup) which has the player.prf hidden within it amongst the rest of the SSHM app data. It's not that obvious what's going on but to use this method, the basic steps are:

1. Enable Helium on the tablet by connecting via usb to a PC running Helium Desktop

2. Disconnect usb cable. You don't need to do this again unless tablet is rebooted.

3. Start Helium app on tablet and use "PC Download" menu to start the Helium web-server

4. Enter address given on Helium server screen into browser on PC on same wifi network

5. Use fairly self-explanatory interface to pull backup from tablet to PC browser download folder. End up with a backup.zip file on the PC

Transferring to another tablet would just be restoring to the new tablet rather than the original but, obviously,  you'd need Helium running on that one too.

It would always be a good idea to have this backup solution working in the event that the game crashes and you get reset to level 0, but I can also offer a very simple method of just getting the game across to a new tablet that doesn't involve doing very much on your part. However, I'm not prepared to discuss that method on the forum so if interested you'd need to contact me at neo34@gmx.co.uk.
