Default [SOLVED] Can Android store savegames/data on the cloud?

SOLVED: not possible with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. The only way is to use Titanium Backup, and better than that, Nandroid Backup. You can as well extract data from a Nandroid backup with Titanium Backup.
---------------------
I have a Nexus S and I wonder if, with the option Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Background data & Auto-sync & Manage accounts (sync is on) the settings and savegames are automatically stored "on the cloud", let it be my Google account or similar, because I don't have a rooted phone and don't want to do that to preserve warranty.

So, the apps for wich I want to save data are:
  • Air Penguin
  • Angry Birds
  • Angry Birds Rio
  • Angry Birds Seasons
  • ArmySniper
  • Clouds & Sheep
  • Dolphin Browser HD
  • eBay
  • EGGGZ
  • Flight Director
  • Jewellust
  • Jewellust Xmas
  • Labyrinth
  • MultiGrain
  • X Construct

Nope. But some of the game data are saved in SD like x construction.

Yep, but the SD is internal in Nexus S, so formatting the phone leads to data deletion.

Seriously, didn't Google think of this big issue when developing Android? At least the iPhone has a real complete backup...

You can use Dropsync to backup save games to dropbox. Most games should use "SD card" for save game storage(does not need to physically be an sd, just mounted as one, as in the nexus devices).
Having Battery issues? Try my Guide

Phone: Galaxy Nexus GSM (AOKP, franco.kernel, IPv6, Days of battery )

Tablet: Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (AOKP 4.0.3)

Nexus s has separate storage. Rom and SD is separated!

Doesn't matter anyway, I use now Titanium Backup and ClockWorkMod Recovery to do backups so it's done.

Just a second thought: not all applications + data can be restored between different roms, it's just a matter of checking out.
