Save Editing

Converting Alpha Save to Live Save (Very easy - With these instructions, even your grandpa can do it)

Using Weird Z the Cppkiemeister's Script

  1. Install adb if not installed already
  2. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and with Debugging enabled
  3. On Windows, install the Git Bash or MinGW Bash
  4. Download the Script in the Discord Message
  5. Do chmod +x ./restoreAlphaSave.sh to make it executable
  6. Just do ./restoreAlphaSave.sh and approve on your phone

Manual conversion

  1. Install adb if not installed already
  2. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and with Debugging enabled
  3. You have to execute the following command in the terminal now: adb backup org.dashnet.cookieclicker and confirm on your phone, which creates a file "backup.ab"
  4. Use the Android Backup Extractor to convert the ab-File to a tar-File using java -jar abe-all.jar unpack backup.ab backup.tar
  5. Extract the contents of the tar-file (using WinRAR, 7z or something like that) and copy the apps\org.dashnet.cookieclicker\f\CookieClickerSaveTest.txt as apps\org.dashnet.cookieclicker\f\CookieClickerSave.txt (this will basically override your live save with your test save)
  6. Pack it into a tar-File again and convert it to an ab-File using java -jar abe-all.jar pack backup.tar backup.ab
  7. Do a adb restore backup.ab and confirm on your phone

Cheating (Moderate - You should know or understand JSON)

  1. Install adb if not installed already
  2. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and with Debugging enabled
  3. You have to execute the following command in the terminal now: adb backup org.dashnet.cookieclicker and confirm on your phone, which creates a file "backup.ab"
  4. Use the Android Backup Extractor to convert the ab-File to a tar-File using java -jar abe-all.jar unpack backup.ab backup.tar
  5. Extract the contents of the tar-file (using WinRAR, 7z or something like that) and go into the folder apps\org.dashnet.cookieclicker\f.
  6. If you want to cheat on your Live save, edit the file CookieClickerSave.txt.
    If you want to cheat on your Alpha save, edit the file CookieClickerSaveTest.txt.
  7. Pack it into a tar-File again and convert it to an ab-File using java -jar abe-all.jar pack backup.tar backup.ab
  8. Do a adb restore backup.ab and confirm on your phone

Converting between Community Patches (Moderate - Only do, if you know, what you are doing)

  1. Install adb if not installed already
  2. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and with Debugging enabled
  3. Look up the package name of the patch, which you want to convert FROM. Let's say, in our case it was "org.dashnet.cookieclicker" (the original patch, just as an example)
  4. You have to execute the following command in the terminal now: adb backup org.dashnet.cookieclicker and confirm on your phone, which creates a file "backup.ab"
  5. Use the Android Backup Extractor to convert the ab-File to a tar-File using java -jar abe-all.jar unpack backup.ab backup.tar
  6. Look up the package name of the patch, which you want to convert TO. Let's say, in our case it was "org.dashnet.cookieclickerSuperDuperCommunityPatch" (some community patch, just as an example)
  7. Extract the contents of the tar-file (using WinRAR, 7z or something like that) and rename the folder apps\org.dashnet.cookieclicker to apps\org.dashnet.cookieclickerSuperDuperCommunityPatch
  8. Rename the previous "backup.ab" and "backup.tar" to "backupOld.ab" and "backupOld.tar" respectively
  9. You have to execute the following command in the terminal now: adb backup org.dashnet.cookieclickerSuperDuperCommunityPatch and confirm on your phone, which creates another file "backup.ab"
  10. Use the Android Backup Extractor to convert the ab-File to a tar-File using java -jar abe-all.jar unpack backup.ab backup.tar
  11. Extract just the file backup.tar\apps\org.dashnet.cookieclickerSuperDuperCommunityPatch\_manifest and replace the apps\org.dashnet.cookieclickerSuperDuperCommunityPatch\_manifest from your previously extracted backup.
  12. Pack the previously extracted folder into a tar-File again and convert it to an ab-File using java -jar abe-all.jar pack backup.tar backup.ab
  13. Do a adb restore backup.ab and confirm on your phone

CCMobileToolbox (Very easy - BROKEN RIGHT NOW)

RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN'T WORK, WILL MAYBE FIX LATER
The Cookie Clicker Mobile Toolbox allows one to convert saves between patches and create backups and restore them.
