Gd evening!

Since I had a hard time trying to do all this myself, and I could not find any appropriate guide, I will try to help out other ppl who struggle to move their app data from android to sailfish...

Note that, if you have already used the android app on your Sailfish device, and perform the below, you will possibly loose your Sailfish-side data.

You also need to root your Android device.

1. On your Android phone, use a file manager (e.g. Xplore), give root access, and choose to show hidden and system files.
2. Navigate to folder (root)/data/data/
3. Here you see lots of folders, each named after the app whose data it holds. For example, the folder for Viber should be /data/data/com.viber.voip/
4. Now copy the folders of the applications whose data you need to transfer to your Sailfish Android Support, and transfer them to a temporary folder in your Sailfish device.
5. Onto our Sailfish device now, go on and enable the Developer Mode in order to gain root access and be able to transfer the folders to the android_support root (Settings->Developer Tools->Developer Mode).
6. Copy the folders retrieved from your android device, to the folder /home/.android/data/data/
7. Restart your Android Support, and you should be fine!

I already tested this method for Viber, Peggle Blast and Nonograms Katana, and worked flawlessly!
