I got my self the hero, and my wife the Moment. I am slightly jealous of the hardware she has..but that aside, I am in love with my Hero.
However, she does have one app that i really want and the market place does not have. I assume this is an app installed by sprint.
It is Photo and Video uploader. You set an email address or other location and after a video or photo is taken, it automatically uploads the photo to the predetermined destination. GREAT FOR BACKING UP PICTURES! But, her camera hardware blows. 3.2 MP and it is sooo slow. So picture quality is no where near that of the Hero's 5 MP.
So the real question here - -
Can I ADB into her phone and just take the .APK and ODEX file for this app and push it to my phone? Is it that easy???
Some apps are that easy. Give it a try and find out! The worst thing you'll get is some force closes.
However most stock apps require files from /system/lib that help run that apk. And they don't have the same naming convention therefore you won't know which one(s) it is amongst the 100s there. But I always say try and see what happens.
And if it works upload that .apk for the rest of us!
Thinking out loud here...well..you get the point.
Could I copy all of system/lib and only copy the files that dont already exist?
That could be a giant waste of space though, and it could still rely on a file that I have, not just one that isn't there....
Also since I am not "installing" the app, could Apps2SD hinder me? I am not entirely sure how a2sd works other than tricking the phone into using the SD card as a partition and unioning it with the existing part.
I love how open android is supposed to be, but how the darn manufacturers kill us with the different platform crap.

Am I aloud to do that? I have seen XDA Mods get on to some people about uploading APK's. I guess I should read the EULA for that app before I do?

Copying the ../lib/ over and not replacing existing files could work. lol. As for apps2sd... you kind of have two ways you can try installing this. Without copying the lib and all that just try putting the apk on to your sdcard and browsing to it using astro or linda (a file manager) and click on the apk and installing it. See if it errors out or fails. If it does, THEN try copying it and the odex to /system/app (if it has an odex I'm pretty confident you won't be able to install it using package manager). If that still fails then you can go crazy and trying copying the lib ha.

I don't remember if I read it on here or ppcgeeks but I believe officially the only stock apk's not allowed is quick office. But don't quote me on that.
So I hooked up to the Moment through ADB last night.
Found out really quickly that I can SU with it....
There is a "non permanent" hack out there to become root, but I tried it and still couldn't mount the file system to copy from it.
Any ideas guys?
From what I understand the Moment uses an FS16? file System? Something Odd that non of the other droids seem to be using.
Just an Idea, thought I would throw it out there.
Does the temporary root allow for running applications as root an the device itself?
There is an app in the market called root explorer that allows copy/paste/cut/delete from the system/app folder.
It may be possible to use that app to copy the needed filed to your sdcard and then extract them from there.
This would all be contingent on the app being able to mount the directory as r/w though, so who knows, worth a shot though i guess.

This root doesn't allow you to run Root apps. not sure why, seems like root would be root.
After some reading, the root method that is being used on the Moment is not the safest. Apparently if you skip a step you have a brick. And with no Nandroid backup at the moment(pun?) I would HATE to attempt it. Apparently though Root sticks until you reboot. There is an INit. script that runs and resets the permisions.
I know, "Don't skips steps and you'll be ok"
I may get brave and try it tonight...
as far as I can tell you cannot install this app on the hero. I'm not sure what the app is called and unless it starts in the /data folder it is under the system dumps

ROCK ON! Thanks for the link to the dump, I hadn't thought about looking around in one of these.
I will post what I find out.
WOOT IT WORKS!!!!!
So any how the application is in that Dump under apps, its only an APK
xms-android-1.0.42-prod.apk
If you are interested in what it does:
You setup predetermined "places" Flikr, FB, EMAIL, what ever.
Any picture or video you take automatically gets put in an upload queue and it sent to your predetermined places.
I am using it for back up, I have 2 kids and sometimes the cell phone is the quickest way to snap a great picture. Keeping these pictures in mutltiple places, like your 7 gig google account, is a nifty way to backup.
I am waiting for a Mod to get back to me if I can post the APK or not. I don't want to get in trouble.
wonder if their youtube app has better picture quality than ours?

I will let you know in a few minutes. As soon as I get done with my WiFi teether I will compare the two. Pretty sure they should be the same.
EDIT: I am not sure if it is hardware or not. Running the same youTube video side by side - Our HERO has better color quality, Deeper blacker. The Moment has slightly sharper edges to the pictures, not quite as blurry. the moment does not go "Full Screen" for videos either which could be contributing to the sharper look to things. My assumption would be that this is a difference in the hardware. Quality of youTube videos seems to have diminished over the years anyways, none of the really look "good" any more. Probably in an effort to save bandwidth.
However, if you want to take a look personally, I will post the APK for you. Just please don't blame me if you forget to back up the original and want to revert....I love disclaimers.
I was trying to use that picture uploader, for me it stalls on picking a new location. Wonder if it is because I am on gutted rom and missing some pointers somewhere

I am using MoDaCo + Optimizations w/ ZipAlign. Not sure if its worth the switch for you or not.
I have never used Gutted so I do not know what it offers/doesn't have.
Gutted is as vanilla as our Rom can get. It's quick too
that's pretty cool and sounds like a great idea for backing up pics so what all would I need to do to get this and install it I have root access already

Wow... that's a really cool program... and just so you know, you can "install" it using adb and it still works fine
Code:
adb install xms-android-1.0.42-prod.apk
Then it will install in /data/apps (or if you have apps2sd, on the sdcard under /system/sd/apps)
Works great on the Sprint Hero and MoDaCo ROM

The only rule regarding it would be
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

which your app doesn't fit in to. Posting it is not outside of the rules and should be fine.
Today a friend of mine wanted to install a .apk file on his Android phone and he did not have a clue on how to do this.
So.. After some hours PHP coding here I created an online tool for him (and other newbies).
Basically the users selects the .apk he wants to install, and points his Android camera to the given QR code.
Please have a look at http://bit.ly/e4mLXu , and let me know what you think.
Some things like About and FAQ are still missing, but will be added later this week.
Thank you.
It's a good concept but the site layout is so unnecessary, you don't need all those unneeded images and links in the website that has nothing to do with its function.

Thank you for your input.. I guess that I did go over the top a bit on the design.... But I was really in my zone when doing the page layout
I'm re-doing it at the moment, and I will try to keep it as KISS as possible.
Once again thank you for your input.
Awesome idea. A friend of mine just got her first Android phone, and is pretty clueless about installing APKs, even though I rooted her phone and walked her through it with Root Explorer. This will make it much simpler for her.
Good idea! Can save some time. It`s already saved in my favorites!
file manager, astro..
this is for first class rookies
Sorry but have I missed something here??
Why on earth would ANYBODY really actually need to use this? (no offence) Has your friend lost the plot?
Why would you go through all this instead of simply installing a file manager liek ASTRO via the market?
a) Copy apk to sd card/phone
b) install ASTRO File Manager from market.
c) Install apk
How difficult is that?
If I have missed something here please explain because I cant think of any scenario where this would be an advantage.

I have not looked at it yet, but this allows you to do it without connecting the phone to the pc right?
Logical order for your instructions
a) Install ASTRO File Manager from market.
b) Copy apk to sd card/phone
c) Install apk
repeat steps b and c for other .apks
It is a great idea,and nicely done. but i will stay with the other method.
i think its great especially when you forget your usb cable, i never leave home with out but i forgot it, surfing thru xda and didnt feel like opening xda app on phone just download upload install, also, when paw server is down i guess, nice work.
Oops... The site is getting a lot of attention at the moment as it made the XDA's frontpage!

Ok so if you where not at home and didnt have a USB cable, you could simply email the apk to yourself or use your friends card reader/card slot/dongle etc. There are a million different ways that are much quicker then this. Not trying to dis OP/site etc just suprised that this has been made front page news?
I love how quickly people try to smash an idea just cause it's not their way...what if the user doesn't have a file manager installed? Left their USB cable? Doesn't want to login to a webmail account for security reasons? There are tons of reasons to use this...I say scale it up, and somehow work out longer time periods for the QR codes (Maybe only for registered users?)...besides, it's always nice to have some functional PHP code that could be used in other projects.
I just used this and it is awesome! thank you thank you thank you!
sorry, but its useless. also harder and takes longer time than just copying to sd.
not everybody gets the idea of Astro/File manager.
this is just another way to get to the goal.
sometimes, even if you try to show them a better way of doing things, they still prefer another way which may seem not logical/takes a longer time.
This is a neat idea. it might not appeal to everybody, but it may help somebody.
I don't get this either. I email the apk to my gmail and there's an option in Gmail on your phone for you to install the app.
Hey, i found great use for this. I downloaded a couple of APKs and needed to quickly dl them, and install them. Too lazy to connect to my computer or email it. So much faster.
One cosmetic issue: when I upload an apk the name changes to a crazy long string. Any way to shorten that? I realize you can't keep the original apk name but a simple numbering system (each new upload +1 id kind of a thing) or whatever else might work better. It's not required, but just my input love it!
niceeee!!! this is exactly what i wanted!
So I believe this is the right place to post this.
I'm looking for an app that can save/sync games across devices. I lost my one phone and I had purchased some credits to support the game and when I lost is I lost all of the credits and I am playing a long RPG but there are times when I wish I could play it on my tablet instead of on my phone, but i dont want to play through it twice at the same time.
Does anyone know if there is an app that will allow me to back up and sync my application information across devices using something like drop box?
Titanium Backup does exactly that.
how does one do that, I'm trying to get a copy of spectral souls from my transformer over to my nexus S 4g, so i can be slightly more mobile and play?
I'm sure there is a more elegant way, but what I did to transfer my Battleheart save game to the phone was copy the TB properties and tar files for Battleheart from my Tab to my phone, then rename them so the filenames matched the phone app data filenames and replaced the phone's ones with them. I did this because both devices are currently in use, obviously between new devices you can just use TB like normal to restore the apps+data. Wouldn't be something I'd like to do a lot, I'm sure there must be a more elegant solution (probably TB does it natively and I just didn't see it...).
So I started playing Eternal Legacy and keep having an issue where the game freezes towards the end of a battle in the area by the mines. Sometimes I can get through 1 battle only to have it freeze after another. Anyone have this issue?
Gameloft sent me a link to redownload and re-install the game and said to delete the old one. But does anyone know how to save my savegame files so I don't have to start the game all over again? I searched the GloftELHD folder but didn't find any files that looked like a save game.
Most gameloft games store their saved games on memory card e.g. Asphalt 6 (profile.sav) and modern combat 2 (save.bin), and some save it in phone memory as application data (Dungeon Hunter 2)
If you can't find any save game file in Eternal Legacy folder, try saving the application data by Titanium Backup

Of course there is nothing in that folder even remotely called "save" so thats out. Titanium backup works without Root? My device is stock.

No backup currently gives back up app-data without root. You might be able to copy the data out with ADB if you can isolate what file it is, even without root.

Yeah copying the file out isn't a big deal I can do it through windows explorer. The problem is there is no way to identify which file it is. I would just backup the whole thing but that would defeat the purpose of re-installing the game then. I'm not even convinced re-installing the game will fix my freezing problem.

Have you tried GameLoft Support? Asking on the forum where the save-game data is for that particular game? If it is on the phone itself, gotta get it with ADB, if it is on the SD-card, then you can copy off SD-card to another spot.... If you can't find that info, then I don't know what to tell you. I have that game but haven't started it yet (got it as a freebie 2-for-1 deal). So I wouldn't mind knowing too. I honestly wish they published at least a little bit of detail on this stuff, but they are used to supporting iOS devices, where normal users can't get into this nitty-gritty stuff to poke at it.

I actually have tried Gameloft Support themselves, and the guy from Gameloft basically told me he didn't know either.
I'm not sure but you can try follow steps, i think you can get back saved data after uninstalling game:
1. Plug you device with USB cable and open the "Removable disc F (or N or G,J the name could vary)" then open "Gameloft" folder.
2. You will see the "games" folder.
3. Pick up the game you need.
4. Then you will see the whole game data.

The other games do have a savegame file, but this one nothing is marked savegame.
That said not even sure I'm gonna re-install just yet so this may all be moot, just swapped in a Sandisk Class 4 32 gb card and now everything seems to be working better.

Hmmm.. So may just have been a hardware glitch with read-times or such odd? One can only hope as much. It is a shame that GameLoft's support isn't better. Considering that their games (even if often buggy) are generally some of the better ones out there (even if generally ripped from other popular games on other platforms).

I think it may be, I played for about an hour last night and no problems (plus the class 4 Sandisk runs WAY smoother than the 16gb Class 2 card I had). I almost laughed when I got that email, it seems like such a simple question but the fact he straight out told me "I don't know", I've never gotten something like that from tech support before. Another thing I did was reduce my max text messages per thread to 50 and delete a lot of old stuff (probably about 1000+ texts), that has helped with the phone's sluggishness, and I would bet helped the game as well. I would assume Android prioritizes that task and so it can affect other apps.
I've found that their games are a mixed bag. Eternal Legacy is stunning, graphics are unbelievable for a phone, everything works well, but then I get these freeze ups, and worse if you pause the game to answer a call or check an email/text message, it shuts down! MC2 is really stunning as well, but 50% of the time if you go into the control menu the game force closes, and we have had 1000 threads on the targeting with the right stick. Assassins Creed has decent graphics, great controls and play style, but TONS of graphical glitches, and a pretty cheesy story that completely ignores a huge plot point of the Assassins Creed games aside from a passing reference to animus and memories in the menus.
help me about this too?
that's help me too and work thank you for all ^_^
I have a high score in Subway Surfers, I've also played counless hours, so I've wracked up a lot of coins and unlocked a lot of items. I have the galaxy note 2 for tmobile and it broke. It doesnt charge any more and they are sending me a new phone. I want to back up my data so i don't lose all my progress in subway surfers.
I was looking at the hack and how it has you replace the files in the com.kiloo.subwaysurf folder with modified text files to give unlimited coins etc... I tried copying my 3 data files to the ext sdcard so I could put them on my new phone, but when I looked at the files in a text editor, they were out of date and contained 1 month on scores, etc. So i figured they weren't being used in the operation of the game. I deleted the 3 data files in that folder, turned the game on, and sure enough, deleting those files had no affect. I tried replacing them with the hacked files people are using to cheat, and sure enough, nothing happened. So if the 3 files in my com.kiloo.subwaysurf aren't actually being using to store my Subway Surfer data, then where exactly is it being stored so I can back it up?
Please help.
Thanks.
The free version of Titanium Backup can back up an app + data. Did that not work (is the data not being backed up, too ?) ?
When I went to market, it said Titanium Backup Pro free or paid, requires root. I am not rooted.
Ah, if you're already getting a replacement it might be worth it to root to be able to get your data off. You might need root to see the correct files, but maybe someone knows a way for this specific game.

Rooting will cause me to loose my warranty. my phone has already broken after only having it 2 months. It wouldnt make sense for me to lose my warranty over a video game. I'm sure there has to be a way to back up my data without rooting.

You can backup your app data with carbon backup app , it also works on non-rooted devices but you will need a pc , here's the download link go to play store for more details.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en

worked really good. i used mybackuppro for all else and carbon for data restore. thanks so much all
would an app like app to zip do the same? i have all my data on another phone and upgraded to the sIII and now my old pphone don't have service of course. but it does have app2zip for some weird reason.
I am having the same problem. I have lots of coins and items in Subway Surfer on my old Samsung Epic 4g. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. Both of my phones are not rooted. I am reading up on it and will probably end up rooting my new S4 and would root my Epic if I needed to. I have a further problem in that the micro USB port on my Epic is broken. I have tried Carbon back up but it doesn't seem to be compatible with my Epic. Even if it was It says it requires a PC which I assume I would involve using the micro USB port which is broken.
I figure the backup programs copy files from the old phone to the new phone. I have tried to do this several times myself with no luck. I have found 3 folders to copy they all seem to be named com.kiloo.subwaysurf. The first 2 one on the SD card. One is in Android/Data and one is in .VungleCacheDir. The third is on the phone under /mnt/asec. I copied them all and tried to replace those files in those places on the new phone. The first 2 copied fine. The third was wierd because the /mnt/asec folder on my S4 was empty. I tried to place the com.kiloo.subwaysurf file from my old phone in that folder but my file manager wouldn't let me. I tried doing it with Astro, jumble file manager, and a third file manager and none of them let me. That leads me to believe there is some permission issue. I am assuming rooting would allow me to copy this file but I don't know that even if I did this strategy would work. Does anyone know if it would work or not? If so how do I make it work?
Is there a back up app that would allow me to copy this app and the app data over to my new phone using the SD card or bluetooth? Is there a version of Carbon back up that is compatible? Even if there is can I use it without a working micro USB port?
Does Titanium backup require a working micro USB port? If it does I can try and root my Epic without using the micro usb port which I haven't read enough yet to see if it is possible.
My third option is trying to fix the micro usb port on the Epic. I have kept my epic alive this far by using replacement parts from another Epic. I also used that other epic as a battery charger. The last time I took it apart it looked like of the 8 or so pins connecting the micro USB plug to the motherboard of the phone 2 were broken off. I tried to bend them back down and I thought I had fixed it but I guess not. Any advice on fixing the port would be helpful.

Would mybackuppro work to restore the an app AND that apps data? like the OP (and me) want to do with Subway Surfer? I downloaded the trial version of mybackuppro and it backed up Subway Surfer but it says I need the pro version to restore it on a different device. I don't mind buying the pro version but I would like to know if it would serve my purpose first. I am desperately trying to transfer all of my Subway Surfer winnings onto my new phone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Carbon back up doesn't seem to be compatible with my old phone (epic 4g) and likely requires a working micro SD port, which my epic lacks.

If you connect Subway Surfers to a Facebook account it will bring your high score to your new phone. Mine did at least. I made a separate facebook account just for the occasion. I haven't figured out how to bring my coins and items with me yet though. good luck.
Subway Surfers restore on Galaxy Note 3 (VzW)
Got my new Verizon Galaxy Note 3. Its not rooted, although I hear a method is now available. I've tried everything under the sun to try and get a restored copy of Subway surfers to work. I have a rooted Motorola Driod Bionic. So Subway surfers is backed up there. I have a rooted Google Nexus 10 tablet, I can use TBpro to restore SS on the nexus device. Ive tried just about every highly rated back/restore app that is free from the marketplace. None of them restore the data. I've tried going and installing older SS apk files, and using my saved userpref, onlinestatus, etc etc. But that doesnt appear to work either.
I've installed hacked apk that gives you everything, and since SS links with FB you can get your Highscore. But whenever a new SS update comes out, you wont get it, because there are no marketplace links.
Anybody have luck using any application/scheme to save/restore SS user/profile data on a non-rooted android device?
Helium worked for me .
I first made a backup of data to my external SD card. I then restored the data from the sd card on the same phone to verify that the process was successful ( cuz once or twice the backups appeared to be successful but there were some errors when I attempted to restore).
I then installed helium on the new phone. Using file explorer go to the carbon folder. in that make a folder com.kiloo.subwaysurf. Then send the backup files from carbon folder of ur old phone to ur new phone.
Next, open helium . restore >restore from external/ internal sd card, select subway surfers and you're done!

Tired this on my nexus 10 tablet. But helium would not even retire what it backed up. My nexus is rooted so I tried backing up with and without root allowed for helium. All restores using helium onto the same device failed. That was my hope. To get a restore that worked. Then using those backednuo files. Didn't work, but wasn't a surprise since it never worked even on the original device.
Just chiming in here. I used titanium pro to back up subway surfers and it did absolutely jack. also logging into facebook only brings me my high score back. nothing else.
You backed up on what device? You restored onto. Rooted Note 3?
Lost my data

Hi jetguat, can you please share the hacked apk. I am unable to download it from the usual links. I lost my data from my previous phone as I assumed that google will save the data for all applications that I have installed. Now I hope to recover more than just my best score. thanks

If the hack includes hacks of in app purchases or coins, then it can be posted onto xda. In fact, it can not even be discussed on xda, as it is considered warez.
Since there are no details of the hack, the discussion can continue, but please do not post or discuss warez.
Thanks!

Hi JustMPM,
I am trying to locate the one where the data for the player stats are retained and can be backedd up without root. A fresh install does not clear them out. No warez are expected.
Thanks
get a computer and this job will be done

I have a high score in Subway Surfers, I've also played counless hours, so I've wracked up a lot of coins and unlocked a lot of items. I have the galaxy note 2 for tmobile and it broke. It doesnt charge any more and they are sending me a new phone. I want to back up my data so i don't lose all my progress in subway surfers.
I was looking at the hack and how it has you replace the files in the com.kiloo.subwaysurf folder with modified text files to give unlimited coins etc... I tried copying my 3 data files to the ext sdcard so I could put them on my new phone, but when I looked at the files in a text editor, they were out of date and contained 1 month on scores, etc. So i figured they weren't being used in the operation of the game. I deleted the 3 data files in that folder, turned the game on, and sure enough, deleting those files had no affect. I tried replacing them with the hacked files people are using to cheat, and sure enough, nothing happened. So if the 3 files in my com.kiloo.subwaysurf aren't actually being using to store my Subway Surfer data, then where exactly is it being stored so I can back it up?
Please help.
Thanks.

Well, so you are using an android phone. My solution should work for you then since it has a SD card (you have it and it isn't broken right?).
So the thing you need to do is that you have to get a memory card reader to read your SD card on the computer. The next step would be to download a data backup software to collect your entire data. The tool you can use are plenties, some example would be EaseUS, recuva etc.
But personally I will suggest you go with easeus since they are offering some discount right now and most of their products are free. So here is the link to todo backup download. Just follow the instructions. After the data backup is done you just copy it to your new phone's memory card and then everything should be all set.
