Transferring Your Data

Smart Way

To create a transfer code data, simply start up the game, go past the title screen to the map, and go to Options(オプション) on the bottom menu. Then hit データ引継ぎ in the middle left.
Enter a password into both boxes of your choosing (English letters only) and hit the bottom-most button. Write down the Code it gives you AND the password you used.
When you're ready or need to use it, start up the game. At the Title Screen, hit the blue button on the bottom left. Enter the Code in the top box, and your custom password you made in the bottom box. Then hit the green button.

Unfortunately, transfer codes expire after 24 hours, so this is not a reliable way to keep your account backed up in case of phone data damage or a lost phone. It is recommended you keep your User ID handy and ask for help with contacting the developers in such an event. Or, recover your account using your AuthKey.

Risky Easy Way

Unlike using the transfer system as a way to recover data, on Android devices under /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/Data/ is a file labelled AuthKey; this key is used to keep track of account information, and is used to transfer between devices (all the device transfer option does is remove the AuthKey from your device and write it to the new device). You can back this file up onto cold storage, but there's no guarantee that it'll work on further versions.

For iOS, it is unknown where exactly the app stores AuthKey.

AuthKey

You can also copy AuthKey to allow access to the same account on multiple devices, even at the same time (note: you can't abuse this to get double the rewards from a quest, but who knows what other bugs and """exploits""" may be possible).

On the flip side, you can also store multiple accounts on the same device; just back up your AuthKey and reload the app to create a new """account""".

Avoiding the initial grind

Expanding on the use of making the best use out of that AuthKey file; you're guaranteed 10 stones to get 2 companions with; although, you need to keep going through the tutorial and first battle again and again. Didn't get the companion you want? Just delete the AuthKey instead of deleting app data (deleting app data causes you to lose assets downloaded if you do this, but by clearing the AuthKey, you still keep your cache).

Technical Workings Under the Hood

From current understanding, on Android devices, the app stores game information and data under /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/MasterDatas/ as base64 encoded strings; however, whether or not these files are further encrypted or obfuscated is unknown as well.

Lag and Slowdown

If you are on a Galaxy S6 or S7 and experience frequent slowdowns while playing, it is recommended you download the Game Tuner app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gametuner.thin&hl=en) and reduce the resolution of the game to 50% or less.

Restarting a battle with no AP loss

When you lose (or know you will lose) simply force quit the app and then restart it. At the tittle screen you will be prompted with 2 choices. Press the green (left) button and you will find yourself at the start of the battle you just quit. The position of the enemy units will stay consistent but yours might change, as might whether skills will activate or not.

MasterDataVersions

This file is located under /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/Data/, its function specifically is unknown, but bits and pieces can be gleaned from unexpected behavior here. In this file is simply a number.

Under this malformed state, the game cannot function properly, as damage, and buffs/debuffs, fail to process. Through the "fix" here, it sheds some light that a mismatched MasterDataVersions and /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/MasterDatas/ caused this.

An out-of-date MasterDataVersions and an in-date MasterDatas (say, from an old backup with your AuthKey on an updated copy of the game) will simply update MasterDataVersions, while, unfortunately, an out-of-date MasterDataVersions (say, from any copy of your AuthKey and an old/too fresh copy of the game) will do nothing except soft-brick.

The steps to (possibly) recreate this malformed state is as followed:

  • From an already initialized system, copy everything from /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/Data/ into a safe place.
  • From a clean slate, open the app.t
  • Sometime during initialization / account creation, close the app.
  • Return to /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/Data/ and replace it with the copy from earlier
  • Start the app again, and enjoy.

While this is dependent on the contents of MasterDatas, it paves way to client-side modification and exploitation of the game through in-battles to ease/aid completion.

I think an explanation of requirements or something is missing, to see if one of the devices works well and does not fail them when playing, I say, just to see if there is a solution or not ...
