Something like this: String packageName = context.getPackageName(); String settingsPath = "/data/data/" + packageName; settingsPath += "/shared_prefs/" + packageName + "_preferences.xml"; Then just load that as an XML file to get all the preferences. You'll have to extract each type (float, int, string, etc.) manually to update the SharedPreferences (unless someone has a better idea...), but there's only a few of them so it's not that bad.
