How to transfer apps between devices:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/21112/new-phone-how-to-transfer-game-progress
If you are on Android 4.0 or up, you can use the adb backup resp. adb restore command even without rooting your device. The syntax is:
adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|nosystem] [<packages...>]
To do a full backup, this would e.g. mean
adb backup –apk –shared –all –f /backup/mybackup.ab
(resp.
adb restore /backup/mybackup.ab
to restore the backup on the new device).
But keep in mind this would mean “all-or-nothing” — you cannot restore single apps this way. So you rather might want to include the package names of the apps to transfer. To find those, e.g. look up the apps on Google Play — you’ll find the package names in the URL (id=<package_name>). Your backup command then would look like:
adb backup –apk –shared –f /backup/mybackup.ab com.foobar.app1 org.foobar.app2 net.foobar.app3
Restore stays the same, as adb restore always restores everything from the backup file (no selection of parts available here).
For a list of available ADB commands, see e.g. here.
Kindle Fire HD:
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/setup.html#step6
Note: The following instructions do not apply to Kindle Fire (1st Generation), where ADB is enabled by default.
- On your Kindle Fire tablet, go to Settings.
- Under Security, set Enable ADB to On, and then click OK to dismiss the pop-up warning message.
Note: As a security precaution, you should set Enable ADB to Off when you are not trying to connect to the Kindle Fire tablet to your development computer.
ADB Commands:

C:\local\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb help
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator
with the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
environment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is
specified.
disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is
specified. Using this command with no additional
arguments will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP
devices.
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(-l means list but don't copy)
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] [-s] <file> - push this package file to the
device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
('-s' means install on SD card instead of internal
storage)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-shared|-noshared] [-all]
[-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]
- write an archive of the device's data to <file>.
If no -f option is supplied then the data is written
to "backup.ab" in the current directory.
(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks
themselves in the archive; the default is noapk.)
(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's
shared storage / SD card contents; the default is
noshared.)
(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically
includes system applications; the default is to
include system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed
up. If the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the
package list is optional. Applications explicitly
given on the command line will be included even if
-nosystem would ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)
adb restore <file> - restore device contents from the <file> backup
archive
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified
device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device
read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally
into the bootloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the
specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions
will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the
following values 1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx,
usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority
over this if given.
ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these
debug tags are printed.

List installed packages:
adb shell pm list packages
Then you can find by the name of the package the app in the Google Play.
Backup app data:
./adb backup -f 17rope1.ab –shared com.zeptolab.ctr.ads
Restore app data:
./adb restore ./17rope1.ab
