[Q] missing apps and app store - General Questions and Answers

I wiped my htc Inspire and put the cm7 ROM on it, and backed my files up on Titanium. But after all was said and done, I don't have an app store to download Titanium again, can't find the downloads online... I can access Titanium in file manager, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I currently have no contacts or apps or access to apps, rendering my phone useless. Anything??

To get the market and other Google apps back download this:

Save it to your SD card and install the zip via ClockworkMod or ROM manager.

I got it now, had to download zip for gapp, now I'm figuring it all out. Thanks!

[Q] How to back up a purchased app ?

Hi
1.Is there anyway I can backup an app that I purchased from the market and installed on my device ?
2.I recently delete my whole old google account and made another one , how can I retrieve an old app purchased from my older google account ? I have a CWM nandroid backup at that time on my SD and PC...
Thanks
You can use Astro File Manager, Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer, and a few others I can't think of right now. Just download one of them from the market. They have backup options.
But, since you bought the app from another account Google will probably see that your new account didn't purchase the app and won't let you use it. That is what happened to me. Try it and report back.
I know there is a ton of file explorers .... What to do next ? to back up a camera app for example ?
Titanium backup... use it!
Back up ur current apps then flash back to older ROM backup and then backup up those apps if u don't already have backed up.
Its easy and it will save the app and data on ur SD card.

[Q] What's on my SD Card?

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.

[Q] Restore apps?

Hi,
I recently sent my Samsung Galaxy Ace off for repair and as I expected, it came back wiped. I had backed up all my apps and games using ES FILE EXPLORER and I copied and pasted all my SD files onto my PC. Now I put my SD card baack into my phone but the apps and games didt load again.
So I decided to format the SD card and try again. It didnt work. Now I know the google account keeps track of all the apps you install but when I re-installed some that way, they didnt keep all my data.
Surely if I had backed up the apps and app data there is a way I can get all my apps back with my saved progress on them? Also I have read through some other threads on this and as yet cant find a non root (no titanium backup) solution.
Thanks

Usually, file explorers that offer backup options do not backup app data. Just the apks. So you actually have not backed up the app data. Hence restoring it is not possible.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to backup all your apps with app data. Or you could use the method detailed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511835

[Q] Removing dead apps on phone?

So I restored a nandroid backup, except some of the apps aren't linked properly from the SD card anymore, so they don't show up as installed on Link2SD or anywhere else. Essentially, they're just junk, except they're taking up space on my internal memory. How can I find and remove these files, or how can I restore these apps?
U can download Rom toolbox from the play store. Then go to application manager in that app. Then click the app u want to delete them choose uninstall
