Tab:Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0(GT-P3100)
Ok I have successfuly installed cm10. I copied my apps on internal storage but cannot find a way to install them. I also have no wifi connection so that i could download a file manager. On the stock firmware there was a folder called "My Files" from which i installed apps but there is no my files folder in it. How can i install apps?
EDIT: I installed ASTRO via adb now i can install apps

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.

Thank u, It wasn't pretty but I got it to work.
This phone is Epic.
I know this question has been answered in previous threads, but the solution doesn't work for my device...
I made a backup using CWM recovery in my Galaxy S5, but it is stored within the internal memory (don't remember if I placed it there myself or just agreed to it), which sucks because it takes 5 out of 16 GB of space and now I can't delete it...
I've tried connecting it to the PC but the folder is protected and I can't install CWM ROM manager to delete it either because my device is not supported yet. ROM manager asks me to install CWM Recovery, even though it is already installed, and there is no Galaxy S5 within the list of supported devices
What should I do? Do I have to wait till the S5 is supported by ROM manager in order to delete this backup?
Thank you
PD. This is my first thread, so be gentle
Try deleting the folder using a file manager app such as ES file manager.
You can also delete backups directly with CWM.
If you can't perform any of the above you can always backup you're important data and format the internal storage.
Good luck!

As mentioned by @ido100, you should use ES File Explorer. However, you're going to need Root Explorer turned on, as well as Show Hidden Files turned on. See my posts here and here for instructions on how to do that.
Solved...
Well, the file manager didn't work either... I turned Root Explorer on and show hidden files as well, but everytime I deleted the clockworkmod folder and refreshed it was there again... I got pretty sick and wiped my internal sd card, now I'm affraid that I didn't back up my Link to the Past progress
But the stupid 5GB folder is finally gone...
cant delete cwm backup

how did you ''wipe your internal storage''? i need help, i have the same problem as you! :crying:
I have a Sony Xperia C2305 with Android version 4.2.2.
I was trying to free up internal space using Titanium Backup Pro by moving applications over to the SD Card.
I converted Chrome to a user application and then moved it tot he SD Card.
When I run it i now get the following error:
"Critical functionality required to run Chrome is missing; either your Chrome installation is incomplete or not compatible with this version of android".
I attempted to do the following:
- Moved back to Internal Memory and Converted to System Application - Same Error
- Rebooted - Same Error
- Converted to User Application & Uninstalled - Downloaded from Play Store - Same Error
- Converted Downloaded & Installed Chrome to System Application - Same Error
**How can i get a working version of chrome back on my phone?**
Try this:
Using Root Explorer, make a copy of your original Chrome apk and delete it from system/app folder.
Open Titanium Backup Pro, press menu then Clean up the dalvik cache. You will be prompted to delete a file.
After deleting the file, restart your phone. You should be able to install Chrome from the Playstore normally.
Hello everyone I have been trying for some time now to get twrp (2.8.7.0) and cm (10.2.1) on my Samsung Verizon galaxy S3 about phone . I really don't want to brick my phone considering I'm trying to upgrade my computer and move at the same time so I have very limited cash. I am rooted via towelroot (confirmed via root checker basic) have SuperSU installed, twrp manager installed, Titanium backup installed, Explorer installed, and Busybox free installed. So I installed Titanium backup first to safely backup all of my data to my external sd card, and when I moved the backup destination folder to the external sd card and tried to backup all user apps titanium told me that there was insufficient space . Considering It has 15Gb free and there is altogether 14Gb on my internal I was curious. So upon further research I stumbled upon this and so when I tried to edit my platform.xml in my permissions folder it said it was set to read only. I noticed that my Explorer app isn't in the supersu list (could this be all it is, and if so how do I add it). So I proceeded to open up TWRP manager and it told me it can't write to sd card so it will reboot and patch the platform.xml file. I did that and it reboots and nothing has changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: after posting this I tried the twrp platform.xml patch again and when the phone rebooted I checked via Explorer and it had created a back up in the permissions folder named platform.xml.bak and had edited the the write permissions. but TiBU still does not work with same error.
See this post in the other thread in which you posted this kind of question:

is there an android app that allows you back up your app and then install your apps from one device to another without losing your settings and configurations? for example back up a game, install it in a new device and then open and run from the exact same place without having to log in again.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried Helium or Titanium Backup? They are used frequently to backup apps and data.
There is also a ADB backup method that allows you to backup the apk file and its app data with the correct command/commands/switches and can be restored to another device.
Alternatively, you can use a file manager app that has a feature that allows you to see all of the user apps that you have installed and backup the apps of your choice. Once you have the apk file backed up(you could also just download the apk file from the internet), you should be able to find up the backed up copy of the apk in your backup/apps folder in your internal storage on your device, then you can connect your device to your PC then open your device's internal storage on PC and open the folder where the backed up copy of your apk is located and copy it over to your PC, then find your Android folder in your device's internal storage, inside your android folder, you should see a folder containing the app data for the app that you want to backup. Right click that specific app's data folder and make a copy of it then store it on your PC.
Then, on the other device, transfer the apk file to that device's internal storage then install the apk from internal storage, then connect that device to PC and copy/paste the app data folder to the Android folder on that device's internal storage. Then, reboot the device.
So, to simplify, backup the apk, copy the backed up apk to PC, find the app data folder for that app in the device's Android folder, copy that folder to PC. Then, copy the apk file onto the new device's internal storage, then install the app from there. Then, transfer the app data folder to the new device's Android folder, reboot.
