Use your old version of Simpleplanes after an update

First of all, open your file manager (any file manager will do)
Open the Android folder
Inside it there are two folders like this
oops
The files we need are in them.
In the data folder, search for com.jundroo.SimplePlanes
Like this:
dangit
This is your data in the game, like mods, planes and so on.
Save it somewhere, in the cloud or in your SD card. This will keep your mods safe
Then go back and enter the obb folder, and search for another com.jundroo.SimplePlanes folder.
bullocks
This one has the data the game needs to run. Save it somewhere too.
Then, you'll need an installer for the old version.
To do so, use any app that can backup games.
Find SP on the list of apps inside the backupper, and create an apk file.
damn
Locate the apk and save it with the rest of the files.
I quit
When you want to downgrade to the APK you saved, just cut both files and paste them on the respective folders.
Replace the existing files, or backup the folders too.
Then put a number in the name. This prevents the file from being deleted.
Uninstall Simpleplanes and install your APK. After this, remove the number and Simpleplanes will boot up with all your mods safely.

    @WarHawk95 yes, but in this case is just like backing up your CDs ISO file to make sure it stays safe if you lose the disk

    @stig27 oh OK
    I was just surprised that you talk about APKs, which aren't always legal...

    @WarHawk95 you are just backing up your own game, I guess it is pretty legal to backup a program you acquired. No illegally downloading, no cracking, and as long as you don't give this to no-one it is legal. Else is like burning CDs for your friends

    Are you sure that this is legal and the devs agreed ?

    @Jim1the1Squid yes, I get the part where you have 2 versions, I just wanted to share this, as a improvement to the other guide I did

    I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. I still have 1.5.2, but I added 1.8.305 recently, and I moved 1.5.2 off the main homescreen so that I didn't have to delete or back anything up.

    @Jim1the1Squid well, this also doesn't delete anything, provided you backup both versions files

    I just go to the third page on my homescreen and voila. I never uninstalled 1.5.2, I just set I aside for 1.8.305 so that I don't have to delete all the things I've made

    @Syabil it isn't a video, but this is easier to correct and make, and I can provide instant support
