To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

Good thinking.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Found Quixar, but sadly its not compatible with the Nexus 7.
Could use the old method to get it working.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.
Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.

Hi webstar1,
thank you for the hack! Unofrtunately it doesnt work on my megajump. I use Motorola Defy with Motoblur and have a different folder for the GSGPrefs.xml. It is in /data/data/com.getsetgames.megajump/shared_prefs/GSGPrefs.xml.
I killed the app and changed the mp value but when I start the game it gets back to the original value in the file and in the store. Has this been fixed?
Edit: OK I got it! You hava to delete the .bak file, which is created when you edit the original one

Oh, one more thing. How did you edit the line?
I had to move the GSGPrefs.xml file to my SDcard, install another app called "SilverEdit" which could edit XML files, edited it, moved it back with Root Explorer and only then it worked.
I got ADB but I have no idea how to use it XD
If you could tell me how you edited it, i would be greatly apreciative!

Hey everyone!
First: do I need to root my HTC Desire Z for this?
If so: How do I do that?
Hey!
I noticed a lot of stuff going around the forums about people not knowing how to get into recovery, so I created an application that reboots you into the recovery.
The app requires superuser permissions to execute a shell command used to reboot into the recovery.
What it basically does:
You click "Enter Recovery" and it boots you into recovery, or you click exit, and the app exits.
Do I need to do anything else (IE - do I already need to have booted into the recovery before?)
No, as long as you have a recovery installed then this app will boot you into recovery.
Download is in the attachment.
Keiran.

I already had installed Titanium Backup on my Nexus 5 but after changing to ART didnt worked any more cause it wasnt compatible, but okay so far no problem. But now i reflashed Cataclysm Rom (so no Titanium Backup installed) and Multiboot and so i wanted to backup my data for the second Rom but now i cant install Titanium Backup on my primary Rom, doesnt matter if i run in ART or change to DALVIK i even tried the newest version wich should run also with ART.
It shows every time the error it couldn't be installed, during installprocess.

this is the folder from your old TitaniumBackup so delete the whole folder and try it again to install.

picking up an old thread because i have the same problem.
only - the remedy here didn't work for me.
there WAS some remnants of an old install at /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup. i killed it, but no jive.
still - "application not installed."
any other pointers?
i am also have the same problem
all files and folders wich name have words "titanium" or "keramidas" deleted from data\app, data\app-lib, data\data
i leave just a folder with backups on sd
but it don't have effect, still can't install
well, i don't remember what exactly i did to get it to work, but i succeeded. one of these:
- version 7.2.0 worked for me
- update busybox
- delete all the tibu data folders (as you've done).
fyi - i'm on cm12.1.
