[APP][2.1+] App2zip [flashable app backup]

---------------------------------------------------
Atm App2zip does not work for all the devices, it's still experimental and not widely tested, so first of all, especially before backing-up something important, make some test to see whether it works for you (e.g. open App2zip and put in the flashable zip some apps you don't really care, uninstall them and then restore the zip via CWM recovery).
---------------------------------------------------
App2zip allows to backup applications directly to a zip file flashable via CUSTOM recovery, you can build your own update.zip on the fly, no need for PC.
ROOT REQUIRED!
Building your flashable zip is easy:
1) Choose the apps to be included in the zip file
2) Click GO! and wait until the zip is done. That's it!
Even system apps can be included in the zip file but make sure they don't have dependencies and they don't share data with other system apps (otherwise they won't be restored properly).
Restore via stock recovery is not supported yet.
Special thanks to:
michaelg117 (for the idea), Fnorder (signapk script), people in "flashable app backup" thread.
Google Play Link
Feel free to use this thread for any comment or report, if the app does not work for you please tell which device and ROM you're on. Thank you!

Sounds good

yeah,i know renaming the zip file is for paid version,but can you add feature to set output location anywhere instead of just root of sdcard

I'm planning to let the free version users to edit the zip file name along with new features for the pro version.
In the meanwhile i put in the play store an update (ver 1.02), more devices supported now, if App2zip didn't work for you give it a try.

I like the idea very much, but I have a questions (maybe a silly one).
Would it backup the apps and its data or only the app itself?
Sorry but I don't understand if it back up the data as well as on Titanium.
If it does I would be amazed since restoring them from the recovery should be way faster.

Atm it makes backup of both, data and apk (and odex file too).
It would be nice an option to select between apk and apk & data, i think i'll add it, soon or later.

May i take a look at a zip file you make with App2zip? (PM me) please do not include paid apps!
Also, can you tell me which is the mount point of your internal storage?
In the modern devices with built-in emmc the internal storage card (emmc) is usually mounted as "/mnt/sdcard" while the removable storage as "/mnt/sdcard_ext" (or similar), if the emmc's mount point is different there could be some problem.
But, i'm just assuming, i'm still working on it.

I see, i really don't know why. However it looks like it happens not all the times and this also affects other apps in the play store. Try later or by using the play store search box.

Just updated App2zip to v1.03
- The name of the zip file can be easily changed even in free version.
- App2zip is now suitable for more devices, at least, it should be! any feedback is appreciated, this is the kind of work you can't test on the emulator

Just tested with 2 apps and flashed the zip and it worked, it stores apps back with data. Nice work

Actually pro version just makes available 3 extra settings, and so, BIG THANKS to people who support this project even though they see not big difference between free and pro version.
Atm i'm working to make the app more reliable and suitable for as many devices as possible. Later i will start to add new features, pro version will have definitely more.

Does not work on SE Arc S(LT18i)... Dammit, it would be cool to restore apps via recovery...

Changing "Settings.apk"

Is it okay to replace the Settings.apk in /system/app with another while the phone is running? Using Root Browser? Will the phone freeze up after I remove the original Settings.apk?
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1

I doubt that your phone will "freeze up" or anything, just make a backup first or adb push+pull while in CWM...
However, It's unlikely that the Settings.apk will work on the A2. Where did you find that particular Settings.apk?

Its for the Bionic. Nitroglycerin33's ROM.

Nitro usually includes a lot of custom features that may not work correctly on our phone. It will probably work but just have some irregularities in it.

All I really want out of it is black backgrounds. Maybe I should learn how to edit the Settings.apk instead.

YES (Just as long as you have a good apk - and do not remove original - just overwrite).
I push system apps with root explorer all the time. Just make sure you copy it first to /system folder first and change the permissions (chmod 644). Then MOVE (do not copy) to the /system/app folder, select yes to overwrite - then i just head for home and hit reboot right away. Only time it didn't work for me was when i had a bad apk..
Otherwise you could edit it yourself - just copy the .png files from the apk you want and replace them in your current known working apk. Nothing too difficult if you're working only with image files - can probably be done with PeaZip or 7zip - i just use APK Manager. Just don't be editing .9.png's or .xmls without expecting to get into some trouble..
Last thing - i don't think the black backgrounds are located in the Settings.apk...(?) I'd check around the Blur(smthng).apks, res/drawable-hdpi folders.. and yea, make a backup and put on CWM on boot first, just in case..

Playstore update . 3.9.16

Hi all heres the latest google playstore
3.9.16
Download: http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294521859
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything
Thanks androidpolice

Finally! I wonder though.. will it decrease app download amounts? Obviously if people remove it, it wasn't something they liked..

What happens if you have the same Google account on 2 devices and have an app on 1 but not the other and you remove the app from the device that doesn't have the app installed?
What happens if you delete a purchased app? Do you have to pay for it again if you want to re-install it later?

Can't answer the first one, but I just uninstalled a paid app to test for you. When I searched afterwards, it shows up as a purchased app, so I think you'll be good on that front.

I'm on paranoid android 2.2 rom on my Nexus 7, I have gapps ending in "26" installed, which I believe are the gapps from August, and installing this gives me an error message "conflicting signatures".....I don't even have the play store under "downloaded" apps like you would normally find it, but it is under the "all" tab. It was suggested that I rename the apk to "phonesky" and copy it to system/apps, I don't even see "phonesky" anywhere in the files, it's not on my Nexus 7. Can someone please help me out of the know what I can do to get this installed? It's so baffling that a simple apk won't install.
I would appreciate any help at all. Thank You.

[App mod] milk music working on any android device

To get milk music working on rooted, not samsung (and older samsung) devices.
Step 1: Back Up Your Build.prop
Just make a copy somewhere on your sd card, also make a backup of your os.
Step 2: Tweak Your Device Brand & Model.
Now go back to the /system directory, but this time tap on build.prop, don't long-press. Choose RB Text Editor to edit the file, then look for the model, brand, and manufacturer lines (highlighted below). Your original ones will show:
Note:as there are so many devices the <text> areas below will instead be specific to your device but the rest should be the same.
ro.product.model=<model>
ro.product.brand=<brand>
ro.product.manufacturer=<manufacturer>
Simply change them to match a (newer) Samsung device. I used a Galaxy S4.
ro.product.model=Galaxy S4
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
Step 3: Save the build.prop
Step 4: Sideload the apk, because the play store still wont let you download it. So I am hosting an apk copy in my dropbox for ya'll.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a16vvbhu4h6gvg7/com.samsung.mdl.radio-1.0.176956 (1).apk
Milk Music will now work with most of the functionality that it would on a native Samsung device, except that you won't be able to log into a Samsung account for syncing stations or enable explicit content from the settings.
Please post if this is working or not working for you. Include your device name, android version, and rom version.
Please let me/us know of any tweaks to this process you had to preform in order to get this working.

I don't know much about it, but it sounds like something an Xposed Mod might be able to address.

Well what do you know - there's a new module in xposed that can make it work. Looks like it was just added.

i used ART for the first month of owning my N5... then i switched to dalvik for some of goodies that xposed offers... tried out a few and ultimately preferred stability over features and i basically removed all xposed and just left it with dalvik for a bit... I noticed lags and stutters here and there and eventually switched back to ART and I can honestly say that ART is MUCH smoother and stable than running any other mode... i've tested this extensively with various settings and setups (always stock ROM with stock kernel or Franco) and nothing is as smooth as using ART... so i'm not going back for even one feature using xposed... just my experience

I also have a S3 running slimkat. I didn't bother editing the build.prop and just installed the apk. Works fine. Not being able to log in sucks though because I need my explicit fix!

It is possible to install the Samsung account app on non touchwiz firmware. I have managed to sideload it into CM11 and a GPe ROM on my S4.
Here's the .apk that I have saved on my SD card for when I flash new firmware:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qptszssdcl52i5n/Samsungservice.apk
Install it like any other app. Then in settings>accounts, add a new account and select Samsung. The app will ask to update, then you can create an account or login to an existing one. Milk Music will automatically see the account and then you can enable explicit lyrics in the app.
The only problem I have with Milk Music is that I can't update it. Samsung changed the way it determines device compatibility and "broke" the app for custom firmwares. I had to sideload it and just have to search for the .apk whenever the app gets updated since it won't update via google play store.

I keep getting the "App not installed" error when trying to install the updated version , any ideas? The original version installed fine, I just can't update it with the latest.

Sorry, I don't have any idea what would cause that. I use the apk downloader to pull the file from Google play since my phone (t mobile S4 running the GPE firmware) comes up as incompatible when I try to go to the app directly the play store. This apk installed just fine for me. Try uninstalling the existing app and then install the 7/1 file.

I am seeing the same app not installed error let me know if I can help troubleshoot or get any info to you guys.
Thank you !

I don't have any involvement outside of providing the apks. I deleted the old files and left only the Samsung account apk and the latest milk music apk.
All I can suggest is deleting the old app, rebooting to recovery and clearing cache and dalvik and trying to reinstall. Maybe re-download the apk also. (Try apkdownloader or apkleecher to pull the actual file from Google play - that's how I managed to get it). Other than that, I can't provide any answers

[Q] Can i transfer system storage to data storage?

Hi evereybody, i have nexus 5 16gb and i wonder this: i use cm 11 rom on my n5 and i edit ( erasing some unnecessary system apps for example talkback.apk etc ) before flashing the zip. And after flashing when i checked system storage on root explorer, i see there is some free space ( 600mb). can i use that free space for installing app or for storage?
Sorry for my english.

Yes, you can use that space to install apps. Just put the apk file in /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/.. Fix permissions and reboot!

Thanx for your answer and yes i already knew that, but i want something like partitioning. I can't explain that well, i think.

You can't realistically change the partition sizes. In theory yes, but it's way beyond anything I'd attempt.

Well if it's the same as older HTC devices / older Nexus devices, we'd need a hacked bootloader first and I haven't seen one of those for a couple of years.
