Is it possible somehow to select some installed applications from google play, and save them to the memory card?
For example, when I am at home, with wify I download and install
"TeslaLED" - Torch Led Flashlight
"OsomAnd" - Topografic Map & gps.
"ES File Explorer File Manager" - File Manager
Then, After the apps are installed, I go in the wild far away in the mountains, in the cottage / refuge. There I have a friend with an android phone but there is no wify or internet acces, so I can take my external memory out and put it into his phone to install the apps and copy the maps, or transfer them over bluetooth.
How can I make this possible?

you can downloads the app calld R.E Explorer,AND you must root your phone. then, you can explorer to /data/app/ and copy the app you want to the external memory card.

You can do this without rooting your phone there's an app called app backup and restore, can find on google play and install it .... Just open it and select the apps you want to save.... Click backup and the apk's will be stored on your sd card.....
Don't Forget to hit thanks...
As (N'ayam Amarsh'e) said try app backup &restore to save your downloaded app as .apk format to sd card:

My phone is not rooted and I don't intend to root him, at least for now.
For some strange reason backup and restore app did not worked, but
I managed to save the installed apps (.apk) from the Phone into the PC with MyPhoneExplorer. Then to the external memory card.
However, you have to be carefull at the install time of myphoneexplorer (the pc part) as it has some adware/pup (install also some reg cleaner if you hit yes).
Problem solved, Thx buttons pressed anyway.

I think The Reason For not working of your app was The cHeckbox Unknown Resources Found in Security Setting.... Have you enabled it?

Has anyone been able to get Titanium backup to backup to the removable storage? It wont let me navigate to my ext sd and will only backup to the on device storage! Can copy and paste to ext whenever I want to clean install a rom but kind of a pain!

First create a new folder on your sd card then copy all the backups to your new folder on the sd card.
1. Open Tibu, tab on the 3 stacked little boxes(most top right of the screen),
2. Select "preferences" from the drop down, scroll down to "backup folder location", tab to open,
3. Then tab on "detect" button, then tab on "whole device" button and it will find your new folder location,
4. Then hit the back button to bring you back to previous screen, your new path displayed and you tab on "use the current folder". you done.
If you've never made a backup, then you need to do the following:
In TiBu, Settings --> Preferences --> Backup folder location. Use the back key to navigate to /, then go to /Removable/MicroSD and then you can create a folder in there and use it as your backup location.
Took me a bit of a while to find the location.

this solved my Tibu to ext sd card problem .. also off topic appreciate all your work for Bionic.... John Galt.. . rooted ics .232
You're welcome, and thanks in return for the props. I do what I can
Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a weird issue with Titanium Backup - have the paid version...
I want to set my preferred backup location to be on the micro SD but when I navigate to it Titanium backup says it is not writable and that the folder is empty.
I can write files toitin other apps and it is most definitely not empty, I have the install files for the ROM I'm using stored on it.
The ROM is CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0- 10.16.1.14.8/WW DEODEX
Kernel is 3.1.10-hundsbuah-v3.4.5-oc-gaa752e8-dirty
Any ideas?

FAT32.
It's a 64Gig SANDisk but it also happens on a 4gig and a 1 gig card, both of which are made by Kingston. Oddly enough every other app that writes data can write to these cards. It's only Titanium (paid version too) that seems to think the card is not writeable
Just upgraded to Cromi 5.4, still using Hunds F2FS kernel, but the issue still remains - cannot configure Titanium Backup to write to any Micro SD.
Anyone got any ideas?
ES File Explorer, the simple file explorer and other apps can all write to this card but not Titanium

I have exact setup as your and tibu is working fine for me.
I wanted to start this thread because I am having trouble, (and I assume other noobs are as well), understanding what's on my SD Card and how to navigate through it.
I've attached what I see when I open my device and check the internal storage.
My main reasoning for trying to understand all that's on my SD Card is because it's important! And because I'm trying to figure out where all my apps are stored. I recently installed the venom custom ROM, and since then have lost the knowledge of where my .apk files are stored. That's really what I'm after trying to find those files. I've searched every folder but still no dice. I used Titanium Pro to backup all my files but there is nothing located in the Titanium folder.
Can anybody help me identify where my .apk files are located?
I also have a few .apk files I wish to install on my phone. From what I've gathered the way to do this is to add them to where the other .apk files are located and then Fix Permissions. If I cannot locate my .apk files is there another file path I could save it to?
Lastly I have these two files I have not recognized before, BUGSENSE and .profig
What are these files?
So if you're downloading the apks off a website they'll be in the downloads folder if you downloaded then through Google play..they won't be on your sd unless you manually backed up them up through titanium

Right okay, so if I choose to back them up onto the SD card then my .apk file paths should appear? Because as you can see now I have no app folders on my phone (sd card) currently.
I've backed up my phone via titanium still nothing in there is an .apk file.
I'm also interested in keeping my phone clean of useless things (another reason for this thread).
As file explorer. Settings allow up to root allow root. Go up from sd card. System/data folder

If you go to titanium backup location on sd card and open it you will find what you looking for. Its pretty easy to restore backup in titanium app itself.....also a true backup should be done in twrp recovery as it backs up everything (file partitions,kernel,radio,apps) it will save a copy (known as a nandriod backup) on your sd card that you can recover if your rom won't boot or you just need to restore .

Make sure you enable writing to the root folder as well. System apps are in system/app.
Hi,
I recently sent my Samsung Galaxy Ace off for repair and as I expected, it came back wiped. I had backed up all my apps and games using ES FILE EXPLORER and I copied and pasted all my SD files onto my PC. Now I put my SD card baack into my phone but the apps and games didt load again.
So I decided to format the SD card and try again. It didnt work. Now I know the google account keeps track of all the apps you install but when I re-installed some that way, they didnt keep all my data.
Surely if I had backed up the apps and app data there is a way I can get all my apps back with my saved progress on them? Also I have read through some other threads on this and as yet cant find a non root (no titanium backup) solution.
Thanks

Usually, file explorers that offer backup options do not backup app data. Just the apks. So you actually have not backed up the app data. Hence restoring it is not possible.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to backup all your apps with app data. Or you could use the method detailed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511835
since moto G does not count with micro sd support, i find it quite diffiicult to find a app to backups my aplications.
Which program can i use to make a backup in pc?
Try mybackup pro (paid) and helium (free) available on play store.

Helium is a bit quirky with Motorola phones. I could not restore my backup (on the phone sd card ) after upgrading my phone to Kitkat . Luckily I had made an earlier backup onto the computer over WiFi
Titanium, obackup and so on...

Creating a backup of your SD card is not that same as backing up your applications. For backing up applications with data, I recommend Titaniumbackup. It does require root though, if you're not rooted Helium is a good runner up.
For copying contents from internal storage to your PC, I'd stay away from copying files/folders using Windows explorer via MTP/PTP. My experience is that file transfers will often fail or hang. Use adb push/pull commands instead, or use an app that will run a FTP server on your phone, allowing access via a FTP client on your PC.
Ive found that Helium constantly breaks while trying to backup large APKs . So here is a work around which worked for me get a backup of installed apps and data .
Backup
1) Backup apk using ES Explorer or equivalent .
2) Backup contents of /Android/obb . ( this is where some apps like games store extra content )
3) Take backup of data using Helium using Web console . May be you can try backing up to device also .. Might work
Restore
1) You can either manually install backed up apps using any Android File explorer OR simply use ADB command line (no app installation prompts )
adb install -r APk .
To batch install on DOS use
for %i in (*.apk) DO adb install -r "%i"
2) now restore app data using Helium using web console or restoring from device .
3) Restore obb folder contents
This for me was much faster and had lesser failures due to Helium hanging :good:

how do you backup whatsapp data,or any other app data which usually takes place on sd card.is it so that it gets created in internal memory itself? or we dont have any option for backup as we cant use sd card? i am going to buy this phone,so tell me
is there an android app that allows you back up your app and then install your apps from one device to another without losing your settings and configurations? for example back up a game, install it in a new device and then open and run from the exact same place without having to log in again.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried Helium or Titanium Backup? They are used frequently to backup apps and data.
There is also a ADB backup method that allows you to backup the apk file and its app data with the correct command/commands/switches and can be restored to another device.
Alternatively, you can use a file manager app that has a feature that allows you to see all of the user apps that you have installed and backup the apps of your choice. Once you have the apk file backed up(you could also just download the apk file from the internet), you should be able to find up the backed up copy of the apk in your backup/apps folder in your internal storage on your device, then you can connect your device to your PC then open your device's internal storage on PC and open the folder where the backed up copy of your apk is located and copy it over to your PC, then find your Android folder in your device's internal storage, inside your android folder, you should see a folder containing the app data for the app that you want to backup. Right click that specific app's data folder and make a copy of it then store it on your PC.
Then, on the other device, transfer the apk file to that device's internal storage then install the apk from internal storage, then connect that device to PC and copy/paste the app data folder to the Android folder on that device's internal storage. Then, reboot the device.
So, to simplify, backup the apk, copy the backed up apk to PC, find the app data folder for that app in the device's Android folder, copy that folder to PC. Then, copy the apk file onto the new device's internal storage, then install the app from there. Then, transfer the app data folder to the new device's Android folder, reboot.
