If we were to delete the ATT apps with TiBackup, couldn't we sideload them back on (for god knows what reason?) ?
Yup! I did it when I thought removing an AT&T app had screwed up my WiFi, but the problem was something else, so then I took it off again (once put on manually, you can take it off again using the settings screen).
Yeah, if you can find the .apk file, then you can install it. Or if you backed them up with Titanium Backup, you can reinstall them that way.

This is not correct. Titanium backup does not backup the .apk file of system apps. However, you can find the .apk elsewhere and install with no problems.
AT&T is more than happy to provide you with their "Pay Us" apps. You can get all the AT&T apps from their website.
( i feel dirty typing "media net" )

Doesnt Titanium Backup backup the apk's and put them in a .tar.gz file?
If those arent the apk's in those .tar.gz files, whats in them? and what good are they and what good is it to backup your apps with Titanium Backup?

After testing a Hero rom and unhappy I decided to restore my nanroid backup.
Upon doing so the apps were missing but said they were already downloaded in the market.
But the area to download or uninstall is grayed out.
I was able to restore all but a few paid apps and theyre protected and wont download with Linda file manager and other similar file managers. It recognizes the app but fails to install. Also, noticed theyre in ZIP form instead of APK.
Does anyone know how to fix this??
It happens when you did the Nandroid restore and the corresponding apks were not in your /data/app folder. You could try finding the files and pushing them to your phone or try wiping, reflashing and reinstalling all those apks and THEN doing the nandroid restore. Hope that helps and I'm sure there is a better way.

If I were to find the files how do I push them to where they belong?
I extracted the .APK file for Swipe just in case anyone needs it. I am planning on using it once custom roms come out and i need to reinstall swipe. I have not tested this, so it may not work.

How did touchwiz get deleted? If all you did was a system restore it should still be there. I was trying to backup some system apps also with Titanium Backup, but for whatever reason they did not have .APK files, so it was a little out of my league to figure out how to do it.

I rooted & ROM'd a friends phone last night. He asked me to try to save his Angry Birds app/data because he'd won so many levels, it would take forever to get them back.
But I forgot!
So I've got his nandroid but can't just flash it to my phone because it's got a gesture lock and I don't think you can hack those.
So is it possible to pull his Angry Birds data from the nandroid backup I took of his phone before flashing it?
Nandroid the new setup.
Restore the old one
Download titanium backup and backup all apps you want to keep along with app data
Restore nandroid back up
Download titanium backup and restore apps you backed up

I figured out how to recover the angry birds old scores data.
Just copy the nandroid to your computer desktop.
Use something to extract it (I use 7zip).
Navigate to this folder:
\data.ext4\data\data\com.rovio.angrybirds\files
Copy these two files:
/highscores.lua
/settings.lua
Then copy them to your phone.
Open root explorer and navigate to:
\data.ext4\data\data\com.rovio.angrybirds\files
Rename these two original files to .old for the file extension.
/highscores.lua
/settings.lua
Then move the two files you extracted earlier and paste them into this folder.
Works great.
Maybe this would help...

^^^ this.... has saved my butt TOO many times. I thank the dev for that feature at least once a week
I have installed the "Deodexed Stock ROM (4.1.2)" from Darkman on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Went well, thanks! But now, how can I deinstall system apps like Dropbox or others? In the normal App-Manager, I dont have the button "Deinstall", only the buttom "Deinstall Updates".
Thanks!
Titanium backup or a file explorer..I use root explorer, but there are plenty others out there.

Thanks for answering.That means just deleting the files/folder and rebooting? What is the path to the apps?
In a file explorer, it will be system/apps. Select the app and delete it. It has to be a file explorer that can get root priveleges. In titanium backup it just brings up a list of apps. You can use the free version to do what you need. I would suggest using Titanium Backup, as it is probably the easiest to use for what you want to do.
Thanks!
Hi guys
I so not promote piracy or sharing a paid version of app in free.
This guide is for those who have actually bought tha app and now they have changed their device.
So download es file manager and swipe from left edge. There you will find many options tap on library and a dropdown menu opens up. In that menu you tap on apps and the user appa will own up
Long press on paod apps amd then click on backup.
The backup apps will be stored on the internal sd card in a folder named backup.
NOW WE HAVE THE APP BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DATA AMD SETTINGS OF THE APPS
dont worry i have a solution for that also.
Download titanium backup and busybox.
Imstall both of then amd open busybox amd click on smart install and close it
Open titanium backup and on the top tiles click on backup tile.
Apps will open. Now select thae app which you backuped using es file manager and in the menu opened.in front of you click on backup.
The apps data and settingd will.be stored in a titanium backup folder.
NOW WE HAVE APK.DATA.SETTINGS OF PAID APPS
copy the backup and titamium backup folder on the new device and imstall all es file explorer,busy box,titanium backup.
Setup.busybox as before and imstall the apks from backup folder.
After installing the apk open titanium backup amd goto backup amd click on same app amd click on restore.
After doimg this for all apps you have a full paid app from your previous device to new device.
With all data and settimgs lile before.
This is a guide for those alteady having paid apps.
Do mot use this for piracy.
Peace
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT
Woah groundbreaking

Why use es file Explorer? Titanium backup can do all the backing up.... Paid and free apps, and data in one step. Then transfer the backup folder to a cloud server or pc..... Done.
:good:

Because that would be too easy. I've used Titanium Backup for years and it works great. No need for another app.
If he just said back it up using TiBu there would be no guide for him to make
