Phone rooted. Backed up with Titanium backup,
Deleted sprintTV and now would like to reinstall.
How to please?
Go to a ROM thread where they have the "removed apps" available for download. Example, Boss Rom thread. Download the zip, uncompress it and pull out the Sprint TV .apk. Move it to your SD card and install it from your file explorer.
Better yet.

I've searched high and low and couldn't find an answer to help.
I rooted my Captivate successfully... installed Titanium Backup and ran a backup... removed the stock apps. Now I need to return my phone and I can't get the apps to reinstall. It's like Titanium Backup permanently deleted them instead of renaming or moving them.
So... is there anywhere to download the .apks for the stock apps?
Look for a folder named TitaniumBackup on the internal or external SD card (if you had one). That's where your backups are stored. If it was on the external card and you removed it, TIBU won't be able to find it. If you deleted it, your SOL.
You can flash stock with odin
Yay, thanks mcord! Odin did the trick!
I upgraded from my Virgin Mobile Optimus V to the new Moto Triumph. I used Titanium Backup to backup the Optimus V into the TitaniumBackup directory on my SD card. All the apps and their data is backed up in that directory.
When trying to restore apps to my Triumph I did the following. I copied the TitaniumBackup directory to the same root location on my new SD card, installed Titanium Backup on the Triumph and tried to do a restore using several of the commands in the batch menu. All of the commands act like they are doing a restore, but say they are complete immediately without accomplishing anything.
Both phones were obviously rooted for TiBU and Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources was enabled. The Optimus has Android 2.2.1 I think and the Triumph has 2.2.2.
Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Well mine worked perfect, I just copied the Titanium Backup folder from my sd and pasted to my other sd card. And i restored all of my angry birds games on the triumph. I also came from an optimus v to the triumph. Hope you get it to work.

Same here, I just copied it to my new SD card, and restored it on the MT
Did you reboot your phone after you clicked unknown sources? I know it sounds silly, but I had to do that myself. Try again after that. Should work. Also ensure that you really are rooted first, and that you've set superuser permissions to TB.
Other than that, I haven't a clue, as the beauty of TB is that you can completely wipe your phone, install a custom ROM, and still restore your apps. In turn, the same holds true then for when you switch phones. I didn't have to transfer anything from my old sd card, just installed TB to access all my apps from before. TB also offers TB Media Sync to transfer files like your pics and music from one phone to another.
Also, are you using gingerbreak or an actual custom recovery img? Gingerbreak didn't work for me like it should. There are custom recovery img's now. I can't post links but a quick google search should get you there. TJStyle and isaacj87 both have custom recovery img's. I'm using TJstyle's and it works great. isaacj87 is close to a CM7 release also, just waiting on Motorola to release the kernel source code. I'll most likely switch to his CWM when he finishes that build.
Hope that helps.
i accidentally uninstalled the stock camera app on my samsung conquer 4g.i have a backup for it but i go to restore it, it just freezes in restoring app mode. i have no problems restoring most apps. can someone please help! and im not using any custom roms what so ever
conoirecti
I do not know
Try installing stock rom again.
u may need to flash your original rom or ask someone who was backup the shock camera.
Beside, u can try other 3rd camera apps
Use root explorer
Go to system directory
Mount partition as r/w
Paste the apk in system/apps
Reboot
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Well also don't forget to set full permissions.
Once when I copied the apk file it didn't work later when I set full permissions it worked.
I would use titanium backup to backup the apps you have, then do a factory reset if the AOL fix above doesn't worm.
mount your SD card from your PC transfer a copy of your Titanium Backup folder from SD card to PC the MAin folder and the contents will all be saved. Then reinsert SD in phone uninstall TitBa clearing the data first then uninstall. Then boot into ClockWorkMod then wipe all 3 cache's then do "Fix Permissions" then Reboot phone. Re-Install Titanium back up and transfer your app backups from your PC back into your newly created TB folder that your phone will make on the SD card when you install TB. Then go into Restore/Backup in TB and restore the App.
You need to allow to install apps from unknown sources!
I wanted to start this thread because I am having trouble, (and I assume other noobs are as well), understanding what's on my SD Card and how to navigate through it.
I've attached what I see when I open my device and check the internal storage.
My main reasoning for trying to understand all that's on my SD Card is because it's important! And because I'm trying to figure out where all my apps are stored. I recently installed the venom custom ROM, and since then have lost the knowledge of where my .apk files are stored. That's really what I'm after trying to find those files. I've searched every folder but still no dice. I used Titanium Pro to backup all my files but there is nothing located in the Titanium folder.
Can anybody help me identify where my .apk files are located?
I also have a few .apk files I wish to install on my phone. From what I've gathered the way to do this is to add them to where the other .apk files are located and then Fix Permissions. If I cannot locate my .apk files is there another file path I could save it to?
Lastly I have these two files I have not recognized before, BUGSENSE and .profig
What are these files?
So if you're downloading the apks off a website they'll be in the downloads folder if you downloaded then through Google play..they won't be on your sd unless you manually backed up them up through titanium

Right okay, so if I choose to back them up onto the SD card then my .apk file paths should appear? Because as you can see now I have no app folders on my phone (sd card) currently.
I've backed up my phone via titanium still nothing in there is an .apk file.
I'm also interested in keeping my phone clean of useless things (another reason for this thread).
As file explorer. Settings allow up to root allow root. Go up from sd card. System/data folder

If you go to titanium backup location on sd card and open it you will find what you looking for. Its pretty easy to restore backup in titanium app itself.....also a true backup should be done in twrp recovery as it backs up everything (file partitions,kernel,radio,apps) it will save a copy (known as a nandriod backup) on your sd card that you can recover if your rom won't boot or you just need to restore .

Make sure you enable writing to the root folder as well. System apps are in system/app.
Pretty sure I just lost all my apps. I flashed eaglesblood 4.0.4. I followed everything to the T. I made a backup with titanium back up of all my apps, but titanium is no longer on my phone.....
Before I flashed the app, I made a complete back up of my 2.3.4 rooted rom and moved it to my PC. Is there anything I can do to get my old apps back? I don't know what i did wrong. I even lost my gallery with all my photos.
Google gapps and flash the ics version. That's what you need to get the play store so you can get titanium so you can restore your apps. If you're using titanium I'd recommend forking over the money for pro version, it is well worth it.
I already did install the gapps for the pics version....so I need to get titanium again from the play store? It will have all my backed up apps?
Yes it backs them up on your sd card or wherever you store stuff.
Can I restore my apps manually through cwm?
Titanium is giving me n error saying the backup location cannot be accessed...... please help lol

Titanium makes a folder in which it saves all your stuff. If you can't find this folder anywhere then your stuff is gone. But you can restore your backed up rom through cwm and start over.
When I backed up my rom, after using titanium to back up my apps, I copied the back up folder to my PC. Then I deleted from my phone to save memory space since I do not have an external SD card. I think that may be why. If I plug my phone into my PC and copy that file back into my phone in the back up directory do you think that will help?
Thanks for the help twitch, appreciate it man
Yeah that would fix it

With titanium use the option to enable dropbox sync that way you can save space and hopefully still find your apps. I have just 8gb sd card and it's overflowing with crap so maybe I should take my own advice lol. Thanks man! No prob, dude.
Thanks for the tip. I need to buy a damn SD card. Doing that tomorrow. I'm gonna go ahead and see if adding that file back to my phone works.....
Computer isn't recognizing my phone anymore....I reinstalled the ADB LB drivers but cant install them for my device..any tips?
ok, i realized I needed to install the modified ADB drivers to work with ICS. I did that. As i am looking through the internal files on my phone, I went to titanium backup....ALL OF THE APPS are in there that I previously backed up...but when I try to restore them titanium says gives me an error saying "/mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup" cannot be accessed. Do I have to mount my internal SD card?
Since the Apps are IN TITANIUM just waiting to be restored, is there a way for me to do it manually through CWM recovery?
AHHHHH I GOT IT TO WORK!!!!!!! I'm so happy right now. I downloaded an app from the play store called SD Binder and mounted my internal SD card to location file of my backups in titanium, reboot, and boom, titanium worked like a charm. My old photo gallery was the only app unable to be restored because i'm pretty sure this ICS version requires an external SD card since I can't even use my camera on the phone....it says i need an external SD card to take photos. So once i get that I'm sure I'll be able to restore all my old photos....at lease they're still on the phone and I know they're there.
Thanks again fro the help Twitch!
