App Back Up No Root

Hi,
I am using a Captivate not rooted. If something goes wrong with it and I use a market backup app for NOT rooted phones...
1) When I restore the apps will they appear in the Market under "My Apps" and will it detect updates when available?
2) Will it preserve the settings in each of my apps?
I have so many apps on my Captivate but just scared that something might go wrong and it'll be a pain to restore everything from scratch.
Thank you.

Which app backups apps without root again?

Which app would you use for non rooted phone?
I know of only two good ways to keep everything and they are only good for root users.
As far as keeping your settings... again the only way to do that would be titanium backup which needs root (but does sync to dropbox)
I have deal with building my phone from the ground up with out TB or App backup....
If you find anything that works for you with out rooting I would love to know.
Rooting for the most part is easy and safe (if you not trying to do coustom ROMS) and very easy to unroot if you ever need to return the phone to at&t. I have dealt with it a few times... if you have any questions feel free to ask..
I'm not all about the ROMs but being able to backup and also install non market apps... like the amazon appstore... with out a computer is very nice
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

Yeah you guys are absolutely right it seems like TB and others all require root. I was thinking of using apps like ES Explorer or Astro which has an app backup feature. I guess those don't work the same?
My Captivate is working like a beast right now and it scares me to think if something goes wrong then I'll have to spend hours setting up everything again.

I would recommend rooting the phone, then you can use any backup method you want.

Alright I am going to use z4root to root my Captivate on Rogers then use TB to backup.
Z4root seems to be easiest. Am I missing any steps?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA Premium App

Z4root does not work for the Captivate. If you have a PC the best and easiest way to root is from XDA called Super One Click. I ahec used it to root and un root more than my fair share of time. It is simply and easy to use. And with just one more click it lets you do the off market app install thay I was talking about before. Which you would have to sideload the z4root anyway.
Good Luck

Thank you for all your help. I will check out SuperOneClick.
I was reading the z4root thread and it said it works for all variants of Galaxy S so I thought that would apply to the Captivate.
I never had any trouble installing non market apps maybe because Rogers in Canada is different from AT&T.
Thanks again.

Lucky for you to have Rogers... but just wondering how everything went?

you can backup without root using "mybackup" its free and its in the market, and you can select to backup the app and the data, but if you want to root the "superoneclick" is the best!!

Have not had time to root yet but soon hopefully.
Thanks, maybe I'll try MyBackup first before root.

Just tried Z4Root and it didn't work on my Captivate. Used it cuz it seemed like the simplest.
Going to use MyBackup but too bad it doesn't restore market links unless you are rooted.

Yeah... I had the same thing happen to me... the super one click works great... all you need is a pc and be able to follpw simple directions... so I think you're good on that one
Good Luck

Ebook APK from the Galaxy Tab.

As the title suggests,
I'm after the apk for the on board Ebook app from the galaxy tab.
I recently sold mine and forgot to try and extract it for my new device.
Would anyone be kind enough to supply it for me?
Obviously if this breaches any kind of copyright then smack my hands and tell me no!
If you can, there's a big thank-you in it for you.
TIA.

Try using root explorer and copying the APK to the system/app/ with permissions rw-r--r--
otherwise from that i don't know!

ebook from titanium backup
maybe, you could use my backup files from my titaniumbackup directory. just extract it into you device and try to restore... im not sure, but i think it is a way.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Im away from home until Friday, I will try the methods youve suggested as soon as im back.

hmm ok, well also, since u answered first i have a question, when you started doing your own rom's, was it hard to make roms such as zues?

Umm... yea... took me a month to build the first version of zeus
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

wow...so umm what exactly does it take to do all that?

Lol...not getting into that right now... would take me longer than a month to explain it...

oo ok then

No

I will not ask how to crack a paid app or any other warez.

I don't believe you will find someone willing to help you steal. If you like the pro version of titanium backup just buy it.

Hey I'm trying to use lucky patcher to get pro on titanium backup. It worked for like a while until recently idk which Rom after flashing TiBu just reverted to free. When patching whether the custom patch or auto license removal nothing works. Anyone have ideas? Is there a way to reset everything? I've in uninstalled, reinstalled, clear cache, deleted lucky patcher files, reinstalled etc

I'm not gonna preech to you about morality, but, if you like the app so much, then maybe you should help the dev out and reward him for his hard work...he put allot of time into this app and is still developing it...

You can purchase the software here:

No hassle, no need to mess with patchers and you get lifetime updates! :good:
Otherwise we cant help you and you would have to take this to another forum as this isnt looked very highly of in the XDA developers forums where "developers" work hard to provide software. There is always the free version and if you want more than you would just have to shell out.

My suggestion is that you read up on this. You hardly even know what you're asking for.
Before you root any device you should at least know something about it. Just root it won't make it any better without modding, tweaking etc.
You can end up with a brick.

Rooting won't make it faster. Rooting is like unlocking a door to a control room - it doesn't change anything unless you know how to use the controls.
Look in here or Google for how to root your device if you're sure it's the right choice. You can brick it an thereby make it infinitely slower if you're not careful. You will need to do more than just installing some apps that require you to have already rooted for them to work.
Unless you can install CWM (and look into TWRP before doing that) from a usb connects without root, you're not going to be helped by that at all. It won't make your tablet faster, anyway. Look up what it is before trying to install it or anything else.

Ok guys thanks for waking me up out of this bad dream! lol
Well you know i take ur advice, read something about it and then decide.
Is there even a good solution to make it a bit faster?
Cause when i play real racing 3 some tracks lags a bit , while with others
it wont.
greets

R: NEED HELP WITH ROOT please read thanks!
Root is a good idea to make your tablet faster. If you want to overclock cpu or gpu or manage services or pretty much do anything to your phone (which can go from normal system cache cleaning to flashing a different, lighter and faster, version of android to your tablet).
So, yes, if you want to make your tablet really faster (a noticeable change) it would be smart to root it...but you gotta search the web understand what you are gonna do how you are gonna do it also if it works most of the times or its a complete fails. Search the web! U will find out all the risks and advantages to modding your android.
If your want to root it look for it on google, youtube, or here (it's surely already been posted somewhere).
Just use these keywords for your search
'Your tablet name/model' 'android version' root.
Before overclokking or whatsoever, know that exceeding your limits (especially if your device is not high end) can lead you to break your tablet completely. too much modding can lead to fast battery drainage, overheating and possibly meltdown of hardware components
So be careful what you do!

Just follow a guide from the Galaxy Nexus forum - I'm pretty sure the device was quite popular and has its own entire forum.

Do you know how to enter recovery mode on your tab?
If you do you can try to download a generic-root-signed.zip
No name tablets usually don't have a private key for files so it might work to root it that way. Otherwise you can try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry.
There are many ways to try...

Hello Tyson
Well iam gonna try it thanks for your advice.
Let you know.
