[Q] Bluetooth GPS Missing from Market - Market Hack has been done

I've installed tntlite 2.04 and everything is working smooth. Did the market hack using titanium backup and am able to most applications, including the big ones like Pandora, angry birds, mint, etc. that were missing before so I know the hack was successful. That being said, I am still not able to find specific applications and am not sure why. Specifically I am looking for bluetooth gps. I can find a damn license file in my search, but nothing else turns up. I've gone about this multiple ways with same results.
So my questions is whether anybody else is able to see bluetooth gps applications and if so, what in the hell am I doing wrong? If not, does anybody have a link for the apk. The application is now free from what I can tell, just need to get the apk to attempt to sideload.

The Gtab build.prop uses "test-keys" instead of "release-keys", most likely because it's not an officially supported Android device.
Some apps will not show up for test-key systems, only for release-keys.
These type apps you need to side-load or find on the developers website or such.

I had stumbled upon that somewhere else and was wondering if that was the case. Thanks for the clarification. So, without official google backing you are stuck with test key systems without full access to marketplace... total bummer!

I also noticed that if you can find a market link on the web somewhere it will come up and let you install through the market. Just my experience.

Not sure if that's true. You can see all apps on AppBrain but when you hit the market link or install it'll only work if you have access.

it's possible to install the bluetooth gps program on the gtab, this is how i did it:
download the program throu market on a mobile phone, backup with titanium backup, restore the program on the gtab.

[APP][1.6+]Efficient Backup-Backup/restore apps w/o FC-Batches APK Installer

Hi bros,
I am Linux developer and have some years using Android phone. Like many root users, I initially use Titanium Backup for making backups for my apps in my device. But I found that it has so many functions and looks jumbled for me to use just app backup/restore. Additionally, it seems to be buggy and failed to handle some of my apps.
I also used some other softs such as App Backup but it is unable to make backup the data/settings of an app. Or another one is Ultimate Backup, this soft is really cool but it looks colorful unnecessarily personally with me and uses a local font for the UI, the one makes it not compatible to many of my apps in my language
So I decide to write an app for my own - Efficient Backup. You can find it on the Play right now.
Yes, like its name, I just focus into the real efficiency of a backup/restore app.
Therefore, all I would like to share with you is: A fast, smart, easy-to-use Backup/Restore soft with simple UI but efficient operation.
Though I made and used it for my own for long time w/o any problem. But releasing to Market is another story. So I am willing to hear feedback from you to improve it. So please feel free to twit or send email to me as hainguyen273 (for both Twitter and Gmail)
BTW, I would like to present to you other products by our APS Technology Group. They are:
- Quick Exit (Froyo+)[/URL] for ending any running app just by long-pressing Camera/Seach button or pulling down the status bar to click
- Quick Settings] for fastest way to switch on/off Wifi/bluetooth/Data/GPS...
- SmartBar for managing apps/tasks and pin everything you like to status bar
- ... so on. You can easily find more our products on Market.
Thanks for attention,
Hainguyen273 from APS Technology Group.
Cheers!
Edit: A ton of new features added in new version.
For example:
- Batches APK Installer: You can use the built-in files Browser to select and install hundreds of apps (APKs) instantly anytime. Batch mode is supported by default (such an ability allows to ignore pressing confirmation button)
- Automatic APK Installer: allows your device to automatically install APKs in a preset folder, also in batch mode.
- Backed up archives Importer: Unique function which allows you to restore app on archives created by other Backup soft such as Titanium Backup, App Backup&Restore, Ultimate Backup... It also allows you to create yourself a quick backup by using any rooted Files Browser to manually copy the app and data directories of apps to anywhere on the SD card, then you can make restore later with the help of Import...> Other... button
- An unique set of tools provided for handling app issues, such as FC Fixer, App Repairer, App storage cleaner, Reset the app to brandnew state, System app Remover, Free/defrost apps, Batches of apps uninstaller...

I haven't yet tried your app. From the descriptions and your provided screenshots, it looks like a very efficient backup tool. The only problem is that I rely heavily on Titanium to manage the apps that I usually freeze after a new ROM flash. I can save my custom lists of "To Be Frozen", "To Be Installed After ROM Flash", "Battery Draining Suspects", etc in Titanium and do batch freezing/defreezing/uninstalling/backing up/restoring of desired lists in one click.
For someone who is not so obsessive/compulsive about such list management, you app would be a very good choice.

Is the app free? Does it restore apps in batches, or one at a time?

Yeah sure, man. I made this app exactly for those who have not so much the need of list management. But as for the need of restoring desired apps after installing rom, my app provided the Save list button especially for that. However, I dont think this feature is a fit for your need, but I recommend you to give a try just for the speed and the smoothness of its backing/restoring task

I guess you maybe missed clicking the Allow button when Superuser were prompting. Just open Superuser and check it to make sure that Efficient Backup was allowed already.

Your device is probably running ICS, right? This known bug has been noticed already at right the head of Description section of the app on the Market. I am working on it and will fix soon.
Thank you all for feedback,

New update V1.0.1 released.
- ICS has been supported.
- New features:
+ Standalone smart App Installer with automatic/manual storage selections when installing app. Batch mode supported. You can browse for selecting hundreds of apps to install at a time. So quick, so easy!
+ Batches App Uninstaller: So quick and easy again to unsinstall a batch of apps in seconds. Missed clicks? It is smart enough in providing automatic and manual Yes/No buttons. Just up to you only.
+ An unique tool: App Storage Cleaner. Such a tool allows you to scan and clean up the dead packages/app/data in all app storages in the device. As a result, it returns to you a fast and light device
- Performance has been improved even more. It was fast, so now it is even faster.
I though tried to fix as many bugs as you guys reported as possible, but if you have any issue not yet resolved, just let me know.

I was looking for an app which support batch install by sellecting a folder with apks.
So I think I'll stick with it if I don't find any problems(I haven't test it yet, I just installed it).
Anyway, If you' re interested for localization of your app, I can translate it to greek.
Just post the xml files to start.
Thanks.

Have tried this and got few issues.
1. It complained there is no insufficient memory on sdcard(in fact huge is there) but when i skipped that file remaining were restored successfully.
2. Out of 37 apps 3 failed, don't know the reason. App doesn't tell anything.
Haven't tried restored anyway. Im on defy cm9 nightly.

[Q] Basic Q - where are paid apps stored + backup

As a new Android user with the samsung I have just downloaded and paid for my first App from the Play Store.
How do I back it up in case I need to restore it in the future?
Where is the app stored? I downloaded Sketchbook Pro but when I look in the folder that has been created there are no files!

Uset Titanium Backup for data. Play remembers that you purchased The app, so it probably even restores itself if you eg reset your device.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app

No need to backup, really. Play Store will have it for you when you reset your device so you can install it again and on as many devices as you want as long as they use your email address.

If you are root. go to /system/ app/ this is where they usually are . Some apps use your personal media space to share data.. like in .. /sdcard/android/???? somtimes this is a folder called obb.. Sometimes the /sdcard could be / data/ sorry i do not yet have this tablet but looking forword to getting it . As soon as i get my refund for the two nexus 7 defective devices i sent back..

What about apps like Plague inc. which have in app purchases?

As long as you purchase from Google play and use the same email account, Google will remember the in-app purchases too. I purchased an app that had an in-app option which i also bought, installed the same app on two devices i.e.tablet and phone and had no issues including the in-app aspect.

App backup and restore works fine for me, just backing up the app but not the data.

Aside from the fact that your purchases are tied to your Google account as they said, you can use AirDroid (which is really really handy) to pull APK files from your device and make back-up copies on your PC. Just don't, you know, distribute them.

I use ES Taskmanager and ES Exlorer to backup and access my apps. It allows you to select where you want to save your backups and it gets all the apps I have tried including purchased apps like Sketchbook Pro. Then I like to copy the backed up apps and store them elsewhere for safe keeping in case for some reason that app gets dropped from where I got it or it is replaced with a version I don't like. BTW you don't need to know where the app is ES Taskmanager will find them. Note some apps when you find where they are they are listed with odd names like "vnz-1111881564.apk" for Kindle reader so knowing where they are does not really help all the time but ES Taskmanager shows the name you will recognize.

How to remove installed app from market

I am rooted and familiar somewhat with TB . I have a hide my text app from the market which works well and even hides the icon, but it still shows up under the market as installed. I tried destroying market link but no luck.
Anyone know what I can do here?
Sent from my LG-D851 using JellyBombed Tapatalk 2

Try uninstalling it via the Play Store instead of doing it directly via the phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I don't really understand exactly what you're trying to do, but what I think you're saying is that even though you've uninstalled the app it's still showing that you have installed it in the past, so you want to remove your history of having installed it?
Try going to the Play Store, then click the upper left icon to bring up the side view, then go to 'My apps.' Once there to to the 'all' tab and search for the app you want removed from your installation history and press the x on the right side.

Thanks guys... But sorry I wasn't clear. I want to keep the app, it was free, but not have it show up on the play store as being installed

I think I did what you said in your original post. If you go into Titanium Backup and then click on the app you want to hide, then go to the special features tab, then under "play store/market" click detach from market. The first time I tried it it actually didn't work... So I tried rebooting the phone and it still showed up, however, after going back to Titanium backup and toggling between attach and detaching from the play store/market it seemed to work. Try messing around with it a little more and see if it works.
EDIT: My mistake, it still is showing up in the all tab of google play, but not the installed tab... I'll keep messing with it.

Alright, guys (@Jaeryl, @Josh McGrath), here's my recommendation.
Instead of using Titanium, try copying the actual .apk of the text editor app from /data/app to the external sdcard. Then, go into Google Play on your PC and completely delete that text editing app. Refresh your device so that the app is also removed from there.
All you have to do now is go back to where you copied the .apk, install it, and voilá - your app is effectively eliminated from the Play Store, but is also still installed, just like you wanted.

I was actually about to suggest this... if you can't figure out how to do is you can always uninstall the app then just download an apk of the app online. I read that if you install it as an apk it won't be associated with the play store and thus won't show up.

That's exactly right.
See, Google Play can't and doesn't detect every app on your system, just the ones that came from the store itself that are being synced to all your devices. Think about it this way - a Nook Touch device uses the Barnes and Noble bookstore, and when you buy a book from the bookstore, B&N remembers it anr syncs it to all of the devices hooked up to your account.
However, if you download a PDF or ePub book from the Internet and sideload it onto your Nook, B&N doesn't know or care about it - all they care about is the products you purchase from them. And this means that that sideloaded book will not appear on your B&N account, nor will it be synced to your other devices.
Hopefully that little analogy helps you understand it a bit better.

From Google Play store, tap and hold on the app you seeing as installed, you will see remove or delete option there. Remove it, so you would never see that app again in installed list.

Farewell to titanium backup. Looking for alternative.

Hi.
Just had and upgrade from OnePlus 6t to OnePlus 7 pro. I was thinking, that it's gonna to be easy walk in the park using my old friend Titanium backup. Ow how I was wrong. I used "migrate system data" checkbox checked
Every third user app force closes after restore from titanium backup
All user settings bluetooth / wifi pairings was was not restored successfully. Didnt even tried messages and call logs, as I read in play store comments, that it's also a failure
Box.com backups of app got's corrupted. Downloaded backups verification fails with "error with properties of backup". In details it shows: has data:yes, has app:No. But folder size is same as on source system. Simple to test on single device: backup any app, upload to box.com. Uninstall app and delete it's backup. Sync back from box to titanium backup. And this app is not restoreable anymore. Same test succeeds with google drive. Wrote support, but no answer. Ended moving files between devices via oneplus file manager file dash.
Folder organizer labels does not work anymore
How I can backup and move titanium settings and labels from one device to another? "Auto sync tb settings" checkbox does not generate any file on source device for me
UI issues trimming part of the labels / texts
And it's not only me. See one of the most thanked comment on play store from 2019-03-18:
App data backup / restore works, but that's about it. * It only backs up the main .apk file in a split apk. Restoring a backup of split apk will most likely cause the app to crash.Google is pushing app bundles hard, so these will become more and more common. * It doesn't backup Messages / call logs correctly (DB location moved to /data/user_de/0 sometime in Kit-Kat? This backs up the old location) * Backups occasionally fail reporting no space left, despite having more than enough available * Lots of UI issues, such as dark text on dark buttons - nearly illegible * Developer is unresponsive to support emails

I don't want to say farewell to my old beloved friend, but lack of support and such issues is not acceptable for me. Any recommendations for reliable backup app?

I think I found alternative: Swift backup.
Supports all new android features (split apks + permision restore). Also app has extremely active and supportive telegram group with app author in constant contact with users. Requested one feature, and it got implemented in a few moments!

I also now start running into hanging restores using trusty old Titanium Backup. So it stopped working properly. I indeed reckon it is due to split apks. So I am now also stuck wondering whether to ask for updating TB or move over to using something else. I will have a look at your found alternative, thanks.

Necrothreading here . But in 2020 Titanium still freezes on split APKs and doesn't support DE app data. I also took a look at Swift but immediately rejected it because it won't run even in a basic mode without GApps and a sign-in - useless when testing developer ROMs where the gapps might be broken.
Any other 2020 root backup solutions that work?

Those apps are not taken care because people don't root their phones nowadays. Would recommend you to use TWRP for backup.

had the same issue, but I fixed it with disabling this android setting: "Verify apps over USB". This setting is under system > developer options, so you will have to enabled developer mode..
I found this advice elsewhere, so I thought I'd put it here too. I'm looking for an alternative for titanium, (I'm happily using SMS Backup and Restore), but haven't found anything I like just yet.

I disabled "Verify apps over USB" and it allowed my hanging restores to complete.
HOWEVER, the apps in question then crashed every time I tried to open them. So not truly a working solution.

did you take a look at logcat for details of the crash? I think I had similar issues, and it turns out I needed to change permissions/ownership on a single directory (/sdcard?). I had to do this once, and then all subsequent restores have been working fine. it's quite easy to do with "adb logcat" and then just try to start the app.
The best thing I did was not to try to restore everything on the new phone, but just selectively restore apps that I missed from the old phone over time. apps like signal/whatapp need specialized restore processes anyway due the encryption, and the storage of data outside of the app data location.

SWIFT requires GAPPS. If you're trying to move away from Google, it won't work.
I have noticed on my own phone that Titanium Backup often does not restore the APK properly. However, I have had great success with it in restoring app data and I can always download and install the app from APKMonk, APKMirror F-Droid or my backup APK. Unfortunately, without GAPPS, the Titanium Backup PRO key will not work and the free app is too limiting. Titanium Backup does have the capability of using a license file and I have tried multiple times to contact the programmer to acquire or re-buy the license file but I have heard nothing back from them since I started pestering them a month ago, not from their TitaniumTrack website, not from the legacy page and not by direct email to Mr. Bourquard. I'm going to keep trying but there have been no updates to the app in Google Play since 24 Nov 2019 (the TitaniumTrack website has a change log but no update date). I hope he isn't dead ...

The problem of apps with Split APK's makes it harder to make your own backup APK, and if you can't find the full APK on a mirror, you can be in trouble.
I have found a good solution using SAI ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en&gl=US ).
I backup the app with TiB (which, as you say, does a good job still with the app data). And I backup the APKs with SAI. Between the two, I can rollback/restore/etcetera.

That's not a bad idea.
I recently migrated away from Google and have /e/OS loaded on my phone without GAPPS. I can use Aurora Store to access Google Play but SAI is also available in the /e/ store so I'll get it from there. I had looked at and rejected SAI because it doesn't save app data but I'll try combining the two.

I'm not sure why Swift Backup is not talked about more often. It's one of the best backup app out there. Way better than what Titanium offers.

Well, unfortunately Titanium hasn't been updated in ages...

As I explained earlier, Swift requires the Google Play store, which I purposely do not have installed on my phone.

Have you guys not heard of oandbackup ? It's not updated since 2019 but I think it does a pretty good job, the github page also mentions about how to restore the files manually and setting security context etc. I haven't tried it but I am about too.

It is no longer mandatory to have GApps, though it is still mandatory to sign to google account. You can still do local back up
