You realize that Poweramp music player is not a root app don't you? You only root access to use Poweramp if you are using the cracked version of the app which we should not encourage since a dev such as the one who developed Poweramp, such a nice app (and the best in its category) deserves some appreciation for his effort

No, you got me wrong there power amp was the first app that i bought 2nd titanium.
What you said about the app is exactly why I referred it. Until now I didn't know about the root access on power amp.

[Q] how do i backup apps as .apk files?

i would like to backup apps to a .APK file so i can put them on the computer .....TB (titanium backup) doesn't seem to put them in just a .apk so how can i do this?
id like to be able to use "adb install _______.apk" to put apps on a phone all at once without needing to buy TB as i don't have the money....
I just found an app that does that this morning. It's called apkExtractor by Kim Heeseok. I'd post a link, but you need 8 total posts before you can do that.

*sigh* can you put the link in a PM? or just put spaces between the parts so it doesn't register as a link, i can put it back together when i get it.
Here (delete brackets around https and .com):
[h][t][t][p]://play.google[.com]/store/apps/details?id=net.sylark.apkextractor
Edit: Just as a note, inside of the app, a long press of the app you want to export will give you the option to export it as an apk. It will be exported to "/sdcard/AppManager/yourappname.apk".

Titanium Backup
you can download it
Titanium Backup DOES back up apks, they just have them compressed...IIRC, you'll see the appname.apk.gz
You could also use something like ES File Explorer, which has a backup function. Other apps have similar capabilities.

I use the computer side of the 'wan dou jia' export! It is one of China's software.
i was also looking for the same.So i won't need to download the apps everytime after flashing or any other reason.
thanks mate
I gave up and use titanium backup pro

Which app you try to download and you get an error?
Which phone you using and what‘s the total internal memory?
link2sd
can you try for app link2sd?
Try data2sd.
Or link2sd.
Just make a partion on the sd.
And then flash it script that supports your Rom.

First root your mobile and move apps to SD card with links2sd.
You can also uninstall unwanted system apps with this app once you root your device.

Use TITANIUM BACKUP to uninstall any app you don't use. Be carefull! To prevent any problem, do a BACKUP of that app before deleting it.

If you want to root and maybe flash a custom rom, you have to look for the programs that appropriate your phone and android version. Be careful when doing this procedures. Your warranty might be useless after root. Find applications suitable your phone.

I think Titanium is good. The apps above is ok
Ýou can use Apps2SD or. For rooted android phones, Links2SD which allows ýou to move more apps to SD card than Apps2SD.

Simply search 'root' in playstore, and you will see lot of apps. Go through them and
select the ones that suits your needs. Don't forget to read few user comments
before installing an app. All the best !!

Root Access Apps

We all know that if you root your device and flash a ROM, you get a couple of root access apps thrown in for "good measure".......
But which root access apps do you install post flash that aren't strictly speaking necessary, but which you find useful?.....
For me, it's......
Goo Manager.....gotta keep that phone up to date....
HC-kTool.......EFS needs to be backed up....
MD5 Checker...... Gotta make sure that ROM you're about to flash is OK....
Power Menu app.....gets you to recovery or download mode without mashing buttons......
Root Explorer.....prefer it to CM's file manager......
SD Maid.....getting rid of the junk...
SMS Backup and Restore.....need to stop the wife becoming suspicious when all my text messages disappear..... lol....
Terminal Emulator....who needs ADB or a PC lol....
Titanium Backup......the single most useful app to have on a rooted phone.....
ViPER4Android......the best sound enhancement app.....period....
Wakelock Detector.....see what nasties are stopping my phone from deep sleeping......
XDA App......OBVIOUSLY....lol
So what about you guys?......

And another thing you say that i post warez.,..
I can only post warez if i would place a free download link for a paid app
So i could even post a play store link without being warned by someone.
I have no link and so it´s not your business to talk about my posts in a negative and hopeless way!
