with the significant changes in the file access system in the 2.7.0 beta version of scummvm for android, you might need to adjust the game paths manually for each game. There's no universal trick to do it all at once.
Take it step by step and refer to the app's documentation or community for assistance.
Good luck. 8)

There is a small trick which could help:
1. Make sure that all games are sitting in the same directory
2. Add that directory to the SAF paths in ScummVM
3. Fix one game by re-adding it
4. Note the location of the ScummVM configuration file on your system in the Paths tab
5. Quit ScummVM
6. Open the ScummVM configuration file (scummvm.ini) with a text editor, find the entry with the fixed path and then add the same prefix the rest of the entries
7. Launch ScummVM and enjoy

And yes, unfortunately, there is no way to do this automatically.

Alternatively, you may just mass-add the games, but then you need to make sure that the game IDs stays the same, so your savefiles could be matched.
