Phone not recognizing game data on sd-card

[gears177]

Whats up guys I recently needed my micro sdcard for something so I copied everything over to my comp which was my android folder with game data and some music after I used it and reformatted it I put my game data back on my sd-card but my phone doesnt recognize it it still shows an icon for the app because i didnt uninstall it but it says app doesn't exist when I try to play it. Or when I even go to move to phone it says app doesnt exist. Im guessing there was some kind of liking I'd for the game and data that was lost. Is there any way to fix this? As I have quite a large amount of games I really dont want to redownload. Thanks again guys sorry if this is a big incoherent havnt slept in a bit latest stock firmware rooted

Note-not save game data data needed to run the game. The data thats moved over when you move the game to an sdcard

Download the app again, the game data is saved in data/data usually so you should be OK.

Its on my sdcard tho and downloading the app again will just download the game data along with it.

No, that's not how it works. Apps don't come with data when you download them. The data is already in your filesystem in data/data.

Hmmm ill use modern combat 5 as an example when you download it from the play store its like 1gig the actual app is like 20megabytes that I could install from somewhere on google the rest of that 1gig is game data needed to run the app which is what it moves to your sdcard when you hit move. I already have that game data
