I recently rooted my phone and got rid of all the att crapware and a few other programs. I removed the Movie Editor app and now I don't even see it in my apps in the playstore. I'm wondering if this is an app that I should be keeping or is there a better app in the playstore? And if there is isn't a better one how can I go about getting this app back?

You won't find it in your app list on the play store. It's an HTC app. You should use titanium backup or a similar app to just freeze unwanted apps or backup and uninstall instead of just deleting them.
If you want the app back, download one of the sense roms from the dev forum, extract the movie editor apk and push it to /system/app.
Either that, or find an alternative app. Magisto is a good free one, and there are plenty of other free or paid apps available.

I like to freeze apps in Titanium Backup rather than uninstalling outright, as the process is easily reversible. You need the "Pro" license to freeze apps, but its well worth the few dollars to get it, for this and the batch functions.

I have been trying out alot of apps in the market like launcherpro and other quality apps. I also like to reflash my phone once or twice a week, be it cognition or jh7 or screwing up kernels etc....
If I start buying apps off the market, when i sign back into the market from a new rom, will i have all my paid apps there? or will they all be gone like my free ones?
If they disappear, how do you guys get them working again where they update on the market?
thanks
When you buy apps from the market it will stay saved on the google account you used

it keeps a record of your paid apps, sign into your gmail account then accept market terms go to download section of the market and all paid apps are listed i have flashed numerous roms and it recorded all my paid apps, alternatively you can use titanium backup to backup all your apps along with the data and your system setting also
thanks... just bought launcherpro plus via paypal... and folder organizer.... Can't believe the developer was able to make container icons showing whats inside the folder like the iphone...
I am not a fan of the iphone, but always thought those icon folders that show you whats inside are super cool.

This is an ultimate tool on App management designed for ROOT users. The main function that this app delivers is to uninstall your apps and backup them.
We know that there're tons of other apps on the market could do those jobs fine, so we don't want to make another similar app, we want to make it unique and really makes your mobile life easier.
As the name of this app says, we can uninstall apps silently. Here term "silently" means to uninstall apps without clicking "confirm" again and again! All you need to do is just choose which apps you don't need on your phone and simply click "Uninstall", then leaves the job to us.
This app is designed only works on rooted phones, so you have to root your phones first. If you don't root your phone you cannot use this app.
Also please check out our more apps, including the best and leading file manager app File Expert, which is used by millions of people in the world.
Silent app installation feature is coming soon!

Thanks for the info. I'll test the app.
Thanks for the app! Works great on EVO 4G.
Seemed to work great on my EVO. All I ask is a way to see the size of installed apps and to be able to sort apps by things like size, date, name, etc...
Does it also remove system applications?

After install, I went to see if it does indeed uninstall system apps as advertised. It listed no system apps, in fact it didn't even list all 3rd party apps.. I closed the app and went to uninstall but not only is this uninstaller app not listed to uninstall through app manager in another 3rd party uninstaller, it has no drawer launcher icon to reopen the app. Now I have to terminal in to get rid of it. Aside that, the app itself is a very basic uninstaller app that is far better provided in already established apps. Just my experience though.
Post Edit: After rebooting, the app appeared in the app drawer and I was able to uninstall it. Can't uninstall system or bloatware apps? What gives?
Install Manager Pro is a far more comprehensive app management software.

Does it remove the Application Data and then the Application? I want to make sure the apps' data is not left behind and also removed!
Usually my procedure is to STOP the app if its runneing, then deleting data, then deleting the app. I always want to make sure, nothing is left behind. Some uninstallers just remove the main app but leave data files behind... just trash!

If you make it to remove system apps, it will be the perfect product. You are already using the root features, why not make it complete? I will donate, once you implement this feature.
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.
Note: This is not my app. This app is by Oasis Feng
Update: I think the link to the app thread by developer would be this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
There is a new app in play store called Greenify. This app is only for rooted users. This app is similar to the freeze option we find in Titanium Backup Pro, but does the job in a much better way - it puts the app to hibernation.
Key features include:
1. You can add the apps to list which you want to hibernate
2. After the app is added to list, Greenify does the rest of the job.
3. No need to manually hibernate and de-hinbernate (like we manually freeze and unfreeze in TB Pro)
To use Greenify follow the steps below:
1. Open Greenify and give SU permission
2. Add the app to list in the built in recent app list or if you want to add app manually then choose more and open the desired app from list and tap on Greenify in notification bar.
3. In the main screen of Greenify you will see the apps that are currently running under "pending" category.
4. Now turn off the screen and wait for 2-5 minutes. Open Greenify again and you would see that, all the apps added to list are movee to "hibernated" category. All these apps are as good as frozen/uninstalled.
When the apps are in hibernated, they don't run in foreground nor in background. This will help in saving the battery and also increase the performance of the device.
I could test this by adding WhatsApp to the list in Greenify and later when WhatsApp went to hibernation mode I did not receive any of the messages in it (as good as the app not running). Then once I opened Whatsapp, it was our of hibernation and I received all my pending messages. Voila!
Note 1: you cannot add the system apps to the list. Greenify gives a message stating "Sorry, system apps are impossible to be greenified due to safety reason". Who wants to hibernate system apps anyways.
Note 2: Like the app description says in play store, it's not advised to put IM, Alarm clock apps and other apps that you rely heavily on for it to be running in background.
Note 3: You can send the pending app to hibernation immediately by tapping the app in list and tapping the pause icon.
Suggested list of apps that to be hibernated:
1. Facebook (take that FB!)
2. Google Maps (install as user app)
3. Any other rouge app which you wish to keep but keeps on popping up as background process. You tell me.
Weirdly I could think of only two apps! So share your list here. Thanks.
So this is really a very useful app which I feel would increase the milage of the device in long run. Kudos to the developer!

I often wondered what it took to be a recognized contributor.

We got a bad ass over here. Perhaps this is the wrong forum but the app is damn useful.
I has a sig
Thanks for sharing with us all. :good:
I tested it, and it works well.
Maybe excepted for Google Maps which keep coming in running apps even if put in the 'hibernated' list.
But that's a great app, I'll give it a try the next couple of days.
i know you said this app works better than freezing/unfreezing via TiBu but how is it better? This apps sounds like its the same thing. Just curious...

The OP said that it automatically do so (freeze/unfreeze) which makes it unique. In TB you always have to do this manually whenever you plan to use an app after freezing it.

If i greenify, no more push notifications right? Would be nice for Facebook, i could get rid of them if i could just use the app without it eating all my battery
EDIT: How about keyboards?

Testing this, I'm fed up freezing apps then un freezing them when I need them. Play store doesn't show updates for frozen apps. Could be promising as apps are hibernated and run only when you need them. Best of all worlds of it works.
Pressing more exits the app at the moment

So far, i hibernated whatsapp, facebook and twitter. I don't care about push notifications, but this works real nice! They are not running (background, cache, anywhere) so it gives me more RAM (specially you, facebook) and i can open em with no problems, no errors or nothing. Great app!
How's your increase in battery life?

Pressing more exit the app so you can choose whichever app you wanna hibernate. You can see in the notification

AW: [App] Greenify *Root*
I'm using the ViperS rom on a HTC Sensation and greenify doesn't ask for root so I can't hibernate maps. I get a error message there.
ViperS uses a special superuser app, how can make it work?

You can try installing SuperSU app from market.. Then give SuprerSU su permission with special superuser app. From this point on you SuperSU app will be used to grant su permission. Greenify will support SuperSU.

Hi dev. Please, could you add a option to ignore the fact that some apps are system ones? Sony has some apps that are media related, and even Facebook, that comes with software, that ate safe to hibernation.
Cheers.

Dev won't be following this thread AFAIK. You can contact him at [email protected]
About hibernating system apps, since you are already rooted you can convert few apps like Facebook and other Sony apps which are media related to user apps with help of a titanium backup. This will enable you in hibernating them.
Take due care when converting Sony apps to user apps though.

don't delete any apps that say play( i mean the ones related to google play of course) since some of the "google play services" might stop working and suddenly you no longer have store and you'll need to download gapps again... other than that everything you mentioned is safe to remove, although some of it is great stuff, i don't see why you'd want it gone...
I think you can safely remove the following apps:
Paly news stand

Most any (good) root app that'll let you uninstall system apps should also let you freeze them (as well as back them up). Titanium Backup is one of the best and most popular, Rom Toolbox Pro is great too. Before uninstalling anything, freeze it first, and use the phone for a while to see if any problems arise. If not, BACK IT UP before removing it. You can store your back-ups on your SD card, or save them to your computer. This way you can free up the space on your phone, but you can still put it back on your phone if you need to (for an OTA update or warranty service, for example).
Clean Master, besides being a great RAM booster and junk file cleaner, also has an app manager that (with root access) can do backups and uninstalls, but also sorts the apps into what's safe to uninstall and what shouldn't be uninstalled. Use this as a guide, but follow the steps above as well (you'll still need Titanium or Rom Toolbox or similar; pay the $6 or $8 or whatever it costs - it's worth it).
