My dad has an old MLB app but its not on the play store anymore. This was a FREE app so I'm not trying to steal. Usually with rooted I'd just go into root explorer and copy the .apk. But obviously I can't do that on a rooted phone.

I dont remember if its free or not, but there is an app called, "app control"
You open app control, find the app and long press on it. You can use this to back up the app to gmail, and send it to your self.
thank your for your response. I found out ES File Explorer works as well.

If it's a 4.0+ device you can use Carbon to backup the app and data. This app does not require root access.

Just out of curiosity, why are you looking for an old mlb app? Why not just use This one?

anyone know how to update the ad-free version to the new western version without losing save data?
There is an "angry birds save your save" app in the market. Run it to backup your save data, update angry birds and then use the tool to restore your saves.

some one created a recoded ad free version so there is no need for third party apps and im wondering how i keep my save file on this recoded version when i go to the standard version with apps
Isn't recoded just code for pirated?

use a file explorer and browse to /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/ and backup the file highscores.lua
then remove your hacked version, install the market one and put the file back
be sure to set the permissions right on the file
In Titanium Backup, if long-pressing on an app there's an option to Attach to Market. My thinking is that with this option, if I have an app on my phone that was not downloaded from the Market, I could 'attach to market' in order to receive update notifications for the app.
Is this wrong? Because I've attached an app to the market via titanium backup, but it doesn't show under My Apps in the Market.
Thanks for the help/clarification!
Yes, when you buy an app from the market, it comes almost like it's signed or something. There is a verification of it somewhere on the google servers. That's why it tells you download denied. Hope that helps a bit... So all amazon free apps must wait for amazon to update

so to clarify, if i download an app (.apk) and copied it to my sd card, then installed it on my phone and 'attached' it to the market via titanium backup, it won't really do anything? like, this doesn't make the market think i downloaded it from the market?
For paid apps, no... If you attach to market then clear market data and reboot phone, it could show up under your app lost... But if you try and update it... It will tell you update declined... So basically yeah, force attach doesn't really do much in that situation

Yes thats right, but only for devices, which supported by that app. I need the apk file to test something and the only supported device I have is the Galaxy Note 10.1 but it´s not rooted, so I cannot extract the apk file from system folder.
Thats the reason why I ask, whether somebody can provide the apk file.
I don't think you are gonna get it as that would be distributing warez... Peel is licenced for the note 10.1 and that only... You might be able to purchase it from the App store but I wouldn't hold my breath....
Download ES File Explorer from the Play store. When you run it hit the APP MANAGER icon. Long press on the app and choose BACKUP. It will create an .apk file. Watch the screen closely and it will tell you where it created it. I believe it's /sdcard/backup/apps.
Thank you, that's working for me.

Also, App Backup from play store, its free. In app settings, choose 'show system apps' and it can backup any apk you need to any location.
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 am rooted and familiar somewhat with TB . I have a hide my text app from the market which works well and even hides the icon, but it still shows up under the market as installed. I tried destroying market link but no luck.
Anyone know what I can do here?

Try uninstalling it via the Play Store instead of doing it directly via the phone.

I don't really understand exactly what you're trying to do, but what I think you're saying is that even though you've uninstalled the app it's still showing that you have installed it in the past, so you want to remove your history of having installed it?
Try going to the Play Store, then click the upper left icon to bring up the side view, then go to 'My apps.' Once there to to the 'all' tab and search for the app you want removed from your installation history and press the x on the right side.
Thanks guys... But sorry I wasn't clear. I want to keep the app, it was free, but not have it show up on the play store as being installed

I think I did what you said in your original post. If you go into Titanium Backup and then click on the app you want to hide, then go to the special features tab, then under "play store/market" click detach from market. The first time I tried it it actually didn't work... So I tried rebooting the phone and it still showed up, however, after going back to Titanium backup and toggling between attach and detaching from the play store/market it seemed to work. Try messing around with it a little more and see if it works.
EDIT: My mistake, it still is showing up in the all tab of google play, but not the installed tab... I'll keep messing with it.
Alright, guys (@Jaeryl, @Josh McGrath), here's my recommendation.
Instead of using Titanium, try copying the actual .apk of the text editor app from /data/app to the external sdcard. Then, go into Google Play on your PC and completely delete that text editing app. Refresh your device so that the app is also removed from there.
All you have to do now is go back to where you copied the .apk, install it, and voilá - your app is effectively eliminated from the Play Store, but is also still installed, just like you wanted.

I was actually about to suggest this... if you can't figure out how to do is you can always uninstall the app then just download an apk of the app online. I read that if you install it as an apk it won't be associated with the play store and thus won't show up.

That's exactly right.
See, Google Play can't and doesn't detect every app on your system, just the ones that came from the store itself that are being synced to all your devices. Think about it this way - a Nook Touch device uses the Barnes and Noble bookstore, and when you buy a book from the bookstore, B&N remembers it anr syncs it to all of the devices hooked up to your account.
However, if you download a PDF or ePub book from the Internet and sideload it onto your Nook, B&N doesn't know or care about it - all they care about is the products you purchase from them. And this means that that sideloaded book will not appear on your B&N account, nor will it be synced to your other devices.
Hopefully that little analogy helps you understand it a bit better.

From Google Play store, tap and hold on the app you seeing as installed, you will see remove or delete option there. Remove it, so you would never see that app again in installed list.
