Question About System Restore - General Questions and Answers

Is there anyway to keep specific apps after a system restore, you know... Without having to redownload all of them? Or maybe save a app pack on the Google pay store so I can redownload them all in one file.

Titanium Backup or Astro File manager
Well, if you are rooted I would suggest using an app like Titanium Backup. But, otherwise you can use Astro File manager to rip apks for backup individually.

Can you run the app from your file explorer? Is it in your app drawer?

Factory reset?... Titanium backup?

No I am unable to run the app from the file explorer and I didn't do a back up on titanium backup before doing this. I was hoping I won't have to reinstall the ROM.
Install app installer from market. Put the camera apk on you SD card. Run app installer and find camera.apk and install it. See if that works.

You may need to fix the permissions on it, too.

Download/save APK from appstore

Is there an easy way to pull apps (apk) from appstore (google,amazon) and save it in a dir?

Get an file manager like es file explorer. Go under app manager and it will list all installed apps. Long press and choose backup. It will then be in a folder called backup on your SD card.

Just copy the apk file from /data/app
Es file explorer great option. I allow app monster pro to backup mine automatically. It achieves all versions of any given apk if the auto setting is checked.
Appmonster will save all your apps as apk into a back up folder on your sd card.

Can't install titanium backup

Here is what it says had to remove it as it was fcin
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
have the same problem with you..
ppl here suggest use root explorer, go tos system/data/app/ and search for a file with titanium backup odex extension and delete it.,
me myself, try to do those thing above but find no titanium backup extension..
Next time use titanium backup to create an "update.zip" to flash right after you flash whatever rom you want. The update.zip is just the program to install onto your device so you don't have to hunt for the apk in the market.
I'll attach mine to see if it'll help.

Where can I find app apk files?

I'd like to gather the current apk's for all the apps I commonly use. Some are free, some commercial, so I can insert them into custom ROM's before flashing. To save myself the trouble of downloading and installing them every time I compulsively flash my ROM.
Is there any way to extract the apk file from the phone once the app is installed?
Alternatively, is there any way to download the apk file from the Google Play market, or Amazon app market, so I can just save the file locally?
As long as your rooted, all user installed apk's can be found in /data/app and /data/app-private and system apps in /system/app folder. Titanium backup is a great option instead of just keeping the apks it saves the corresponding data so you can restore your apps exactly as they were. E.g. saves your game levels etc. Get titanium backup pro and you can restore in batches. Very nice! Hope this helps

How to retain a paid copy offf amy app

Hi guys
I so not promote piracy or sharing a paid version of app in free.
This guide is for those who have actually bought tha app and now they have changed their device.
So download es file manager and swipe from left edge. There you will find many options tap on library and a dropdown menu opens up. In that menu you tap on apps and the user appa will own up
Long press on paod apps amd then click on backup.
The backup apps will be stored on the internal sd card in a folder named backup.
NOW WE HAVE THE APP BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DATA AMD SETTINGS OF THE APPS
dont worry i have a solution for that also.
Download titanium backup and busybox.
Imstall both of then amd open busybox amd click on smart install and close it
Open titanium backup and on the top tiles click on backup tile.
Apps will open. Now select thae app which you backuped using es file manager and in the menu opened.in front of you click on backup.
The apps data and settingd will.be stored in a titanium backup folder.
NOW WE HAVE APK.DATA.SETTINGS OF PAID APPS
copy the backup and titamium backup folder on the new device and imstall all es file explorer,busy box,titanium backup.
Setup.busybox as before and imstall the apks from backup folder.
After installing the apk open titanium backup amd goto backup amd click on same app amd click on restore.
After doimg this for all apps you have a full paid app from your previous device to new device.
With all data and settimgs lile before.
This is a guide for those alteady having paid apps.
Do mot use this for piracy.
Peace
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT

Why use es file Explorer? Titanium backup can do all the backing up.... Paid and free apps, and data in one step. Then transfer the backup folder to a cloud server or pc..... Done.
:good:

Because that would be too easy. I've used Titanium Backup for years and it works great. No need for another app.
If he just said back it up using TiBu there would be no guide for him to make
