Unless File Expert uses a root exploit, I don't see how this can be happening..? Anyone can confirm this? (Turns out all my devices are rooted)

Yeah, no. Doesn't do anything without root

You can't delete/modify sistem files without root, but you can with a pc via adb, but is more complicated.

[MOD][Flashable] Install Apps in Batch Mode on system/app Partition

What is this?
It's a zip file which you can run from stock recovery. It can install 25-30 apps on system/app partition in 2-3 seconds.
Why do I need it?
Assume you have flashed a new rom. You now have to go through the pain of installing more then 30 apps on your rom one by one. What do you do to automatize it? Use this zip file
Okay fine, What else do I need to know
The system partition is a mere 220mb rom. On a fresh stock rom, it hardly has 10mb of free space. It contains a lot of apps which you don't need. You will need to uninstall those apps from system/app which you don't need to free up space. This freed space can up used to install new apps.
I will be posting a flashable zip file which can remove selected bloatware apps within 2 seconds. Will post it tomorrow.
Customizing the zip file
1) Download sysapps.zip from attachment
2) Open it with winrar/winzip
3) Browse over to system/app
4) Drag drop your list of apps from your hard drive to this folder
5) Winrar will automatically save the archive. It's done. Close it.
IMP: Assuming you have 50mb of free space on system partition, it is still not enough for games and other big apk files. 50mb should be enough to install atleast 30 apps each weighting from 500kb-2mb

Instruction of use:
1) Download sysapps.zip from attachment
2) Place sysapps.zip on root of sd card (root means outside; not within any folder of sd card)
3) Switch off you android device
4) Start your device in recovery mode by holding all three keys at once(up volume + middle menu + power key)
5) Select "apply zip from sd card"
6) Select sysapps.zip
7) Select Yes
8) Reboot

I use titanium backup - the pro version will batch restore with no user intervention
Just push a button it restores all your apps plus you can select which apps to batch restore
plus if you have link2sd installed it will link files to sd as they are being restored

This is faster than titanium backup and more reliable. I know because I switched over from titanium to this method he he he
Used together with this, it automatizes everything. From 1) installing stock rom to 2) Removing bloatware to 3) Installing sys apps takes around 10min

what? today i find two same thread about this?

[Q] [App] Carbon Backup - Can't restore - Help Please

Hi I used carbon backup unrooted, and did a PC Download of all my app data for about 200 apps, so have a 2GB zip file.
I went on PC download again and tried to upload this to restore my device, but it never seems to upload, it just hangs there.
Is there anyway to convert this file so that I can put it on the device and restore from USB storage?
Thanks!

the uploading stays there for me so i am also interested in this

I have found that if you transfer the files to your PC you should find that each app has a .ab file. You then download android developer tools to your machine and restore each file individually using such a command as:-
adb restore file.ab
When it asks for the password on the phone just hit accept. If you backed up the apk originally it should install it and restore the data, if not download the app from the play store, don't open it and do the adb restore to just do your data.
This worked for me on a couple of Apps.
Obviously you need to enable usb debugging etc.

Carbon uses the native backup option included in the 4.0+ sdk so you simply use ADB to restore these files.
I am a mac / linux person so if you are using windows it might vary a small amount.
Get the Zip file created by carbon and unzip it somewhere e.g. your desktop
Download the developer tools from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and extract the files somewhere e.g Desktop
Enable USB debugging on the phone + install drivers for your phone if using windows + connect phone to computer via USB.
Open up command prompt / terminal and navigate to the folder containing the ADB app on a mac it's in platform-tools.
Find the app from within folder containing the extracted carbon backups and find the app you want to restore. The file should end in a .ab file extension. Look at the file size. If it's quite big compared to the app size listed within the play store and when you created the carbon backup you told it to include the apk's there is a good chance the app is included. If it is too small they install the app from the play store but don't open it.
Then run something like the following in the command prompt:-
adb restore path/to/the/file.ab
A screen should pop up on your phone asking you to enter a password to restore the file. You don't need to enter one. Just click what ever the positive button is to continue. It should restore successfully. If so, open the app and your settings should be there.
Let me know if you need anymore help

[Q] Need help on restoring save game file...PRO'S help me.

Hello guys...first of all, i would like to thank you for your time reading my thread and about my problem
And i am sorry if i posted this on the wrong section.
I have been searching for days and in many forums, also googled about my problem...but to no use
I hope the pro's out there can help me out.
Okay..i am playing maplestory live deluxe game from the play store.
The problem is that i want to restore a maplestory live save game file. The save game file is from another link on the internet, which someone else played and uploaded it for other people to use. I want to use it. The save game has many godly items that i need.
But i dunno how to patch the save game file to my maplestory live file, so that i can use that save game.
I use android device (samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 gt-p3100)
It has [email protected] rooted
Already install titanium backup
The person who posted the save game link said that, the save game file must be extracted and placed under sdcard/titanium backup folder on my device. Then open the titanium backup app and search for the folder...then hit restore.
The biggest problem is, my titanium backup could not detect the save game file that i got from the link.
I know the file is not corrupt cause other people who downloaded it has no problem whatsoever in restoring the file.
I already tried menu>prefrences>backup folder location>detect>whole device on my TB, but it says "no backup location was found"
The save game file is there under sdcard/titanium backup. I can see it clearly...but for some reason TB cannot detect it under the backup/restore tab.
I have also tried reboot to recovery and fix permission...but the problem persist.
Do help me...and thank you in advance

Anyone??...help..

I'm not sure but what i think is u already have a backup in ur titanium backup so it wont show to restore data from the new saved file.
So try this
1. Take a backup of tb folder (in case u mess up)
2. Except the apk file in tb folder in sd card delete other 2 files.
3. Then try the same procedure as above (i.e. copy the data to tb folder again....and so on)

Sorry..but i don't get what u are saying.
Delete other 2 files? Which file?

There are 3 files on your tb folder
1. Apk
2. Tar.gz (data)
3. Properties file (all compressed)
U have to delete the tar.gz (the data file) in ur tb folder and then put the new data file in that folder and try restore again.

Negative...does not work for me.
Okay...its my first time using TB..
I think the main problem is that i dunno how to access folder or file from TB.
Whenever i hit the Backup/Restore in TB it only opens a list of app that says "Ordered by app name (click to change)"
The list of app name is very long and have 3 colours : red, green and white.
Well i know the red coloured is the OS Kernel and can malfunction your device if u delete or wipe it.
But i do not see any file or folder to access from there (Backup/Restore)
So, how do i backup or restore any file or folder if it isn't there..?
For example, u said to backup my tb folder...i know that the tb folder is under sdcard/titanium backup..
But i don't see it in the Backup/Restore in TB. Is there something i'm missing here?

I didnt mean backup/restore tab ... what i said was just copy your tb folder from sd card to pc in case u mess and can restore easily.
And can u just send me the file so that i can check on my side if it works.

Ok..i dunno how to put the file in this post.
But u can get the file here.. http://www.mediafire.com/?g9pvpg26gqtfg
Its a list of save game that this person uploaded and share with other people to use
I need the maplestorylvdelx.zip file and having trouble with it.
Like i said..when i extract it and put it under sdcard/titanium backup...TB just not detecting it.
When i hit Backup/Restore in TB and click on Maplestory icon to restore data...there is no restore option...only backup option.

Well the problem at last .... its not a tb backup file..
If u wanna see how does a tb saved game file actually look like, download a7 (i.e. asphalt 7 game file) from the same link u gave me and open the zip.
Those are the tb files needed to restore game data using tb software like i told u previously (tar.gz and properties file).
Now for your solution
As your file is simple save game data file......
You only need to copy the downloaded file (i.e. maplestory.zip) to root/data/data
And start the game and u will get the saved data.
Hit thanks if i helped you

Okay...first of all, thank you for your patience with me.
Now i finally know the difference between a TB save file and a normal save game data.
Just one last noob question...
U said to extract the maplestory.zip then put it under root/data/data right?
Errr...where do i find the root/data/data folder?....lol
When i open My Files under storage>sdcard , there is no root or root/data/data folder..
But, i do have ES File Explorer and ASTRO File Manager app..
When i use both this app to look in my device...there is also no root/data/data folder... BUT there is a folder named root that is located under device...along with other folders (acct, cache, config, d and so on)
Is that the folder u are mentioning? But the root folder is empty.

And exactly what do i see in this root/data/data folder anyway?
Is it empty or have something in it?

Scroll down and find the data
Then open that and u ll see another data folder
