When I attempt to backup (upload) my apps to aptoide, using either Aptoide Backup, or Aptoide Uploader, it doesn't show all of my installed apps in the list.. so I can't find any way to back these up. Years ago, I was able to find a way around this, by playing with my files, but I feel like I've tried everything with no success. My tablet is rooted, and I viewed the aptoide database files which showed all my installed apps correctly... but again, I don't see all of them when I try to upload. And, all of my apps are correctly listed in my data/app folder. Does anyone have a solution to this? I'd appreciate it.

I'm using Cyanogenmod 5.0.7.1 on my Nexus One. Recently, it's been going through some random reboots, mostly while i'm on Pandora (music streaming app), but that's another matter probably. I don't think it's related, but after the last reboot, i noticed that the home screen icon where I usually have my Market app was a generic icon without a label. I should have tried to open it, but I trashed it instead.
I went into the apps menu to find the real market app to create another shortcut. It wasn't there. Application Manager (Settings -> Applications -> Manage; Filter:ALL) didn't show Market app, but did show "com.android.vending". Details window for that entry showed Application size of 0.00, with Data 108KB and Cache 1.79MB. So it appears Market app somehow got un-installled or deleted.
I hooked the device up to my computer, and `adb shell`ed to poke around. The directory listing for /system/app/ showed a "Vending.apk", so I copied it over to /sdcard, and tried to install from SD, but that didn't work, presumably because the installation it would overwrite is in /system/.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I have no idea how the Market application disappeared. Is there a way to restore it without having to re-flash the the ROM?
Please help!
Market disappeared -- Resolved
To answer my own question, and for anyone who's interested, I followed the instructions at the CyanogenMod Wiki (wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Market_Broken), and it's working fine now.
I was looking through my /data/data folder and saw some fairly large files pertaining to a game I uninstalled months ago. Does anyone know of an app, or method, to get rid of this data?
"Manage applications" can clear the data, but since these apps aren't installed it doesn't know what their data is. I would think there would be a way to go through each installed app and make a list of their data files, then remove all other files not on that list.
Thanks for any guidance!
There were a few apps I wanted on my new gtab that I couldn't seem to find on the market after flashing the latest VEGAN rom since google filters apps according whatever device you are using to view the market. It was kinda driving me nuts since I have a few on my phone I wanted on my gtab. Then I remembered Astro File Manager allows you to "backup" apps you have on your device. In my case I have a Droid X and I wanted Yahoo Messenger but the market on the gtab wouldn't show it. So I downloaded and installed it on my Droid X via the market. Went to astro file manager backup tool and chose yahoo messenger and the video plugin. Backed it up. Astro saves all backed up apps to a folder on your sd card called backup. From astro i send it to my dropbox which I sideloaded before hand on the gtab. It makes it easy to send the files to the gtab. I know there are sites with alot of the freeware from the market, but if your like me I don't trust sideloading my apps from some random website and much prefer getting mine from the app market to insure it is as safe as it can be. Then this is an easy option. It works on any rom stock or custom. You can also setup an ftp server if you don't want to use dropbox. The stock rom has the ability to access ftp sites with the stock files manager ES File Explorer. Needless to say I have yahoo messenger + video chat working great on the tab. Be aware some apps I have tried simply will not work on the gtab unfortunately. If anyone found this helpful let me know, and if anyone needs more detail or a step by step guide let me know and I will write one up.
You can do the same thing with Titanium backup.
When I'm transferring media files over to my phone it has around 2gbs of space left. However when i transfer anymore media files it gives me an error:
PHONE ISN'T RESPONDING
Your device isn't responding. Please disconnect it,rstart it, then try again.
To see if theres's more information about this error, click Web Help.
Error Code
C00D124D
The only fix for this is to delete some videos in order to sync more which is a b****h seeing how i have 2gb space left. Has anyone also encountered this problem? is there a fix for it?
Bumpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
I haven't seen any other reports of that error.
Did you try clicking Web Help?
Did you try searching for that error code and/or error message?
If that doesn't work, you might need to hard-reset the phone. It sucks, but if something is messed up, that's the easiest way to recover.
The thing is i have games which i want to keep the saved games, and its annoying reinstalling everything.
Is it possible to back it up and hard reset it and afterwards use the backup?
Is that possible? Yes, sure (assuming the phone can be backed up, and your weird error doesn't et in the way).
Will it fix anything? Probably not. If you restore a backup after hard-resetting the phone, it's like you never did the hard reset. That's not going to help if there's a problem to fix!
Is there are way just to backup apps and contacts etc?(I know sms can be backed up)
Contacts should already be stored on your WLID, Google, Hotmail, Exchange, Facebook, etc. accounts ("cloud" services). The phone doesn't actually store them locally, except for a cached copy in case it doesn't have data connectivity at some point.
Your list of purchased apps is already known. You can use the Marketplace website to see your purchased apps and re-install them, free. However, the data for those apps will be gone forever unless you manually back up it. This process is not particularly simple using the software available for Samsung, but it can be done. You need to copy the contents of the IsolatedStore directory for each app that you want to back up to a PC. The IsoStore folder is located at \Applications\Data\<GUID_FOR_THE_APP>\Data\IsolatedStore. There will also be an IsolatedStorageSettings file that should be backed up.
You can use WP7 Root Tools to copy your isostore files to a location that they can be removed from the phone, for example by putting them in the WP7 Root Tools IsoStore folder and then using an Isolated Storage Explorer tool (there are several) or by putting them in the Mango Webserver app's IsoStore and using the Webserver (on the phone) and web browser (on the PC) to download the files. As I said, though, the tools for doing this on Samsung aren't great; WP7 Root Tools isn't designed as a backup app and it is tedious to copy multiple files\folders.
Hello all this is my first post so forgive me if I make any mistakes. I have a Pixel 3 that was updated to Android 10 a couple of days ago. It worked just fine, but I wanted to make the phone more "fresh" so I factory reset it. Everything worked fine until I tried installing some APKS. Even though Chrome has permission to install files from unknown sources, every time I click on the file in Downloads on Chrome it says: "Can't open file." I tried multiple apks and the same thing happened. I also tried PDFs to see if it is a bigger problem and it is. I can't open them either. I also tried downloading photos and they won't show up either in the Photos app where they would be normally. It seems like nothing can be opened. In the native Google Files app nothing appears under downloads. I tried "show system" and digging through folders and there is nothing. I tried unistalling Chrome updates and reinstalling, clearing cache, clearing storage, cycling the phone on and off to no avail. I'm truly at a lost here. It seems like something got broken during the factory reset, but everything else is fine. Thank you.
Sorry but that is because of file storage protection. For browsers I use all but Chrome for file downloads. It is possible for other than Chrome browser to access download files. Kiwi, Firefox are my favorites. Until developers break and might not file protection is here with 10.
