Some apps can't be backed up using adb backup. It is mainly because on its AndroidManifest.xml the flag android:allowBackup is either not set or set to "false". This tutorial will get you a list of apps that are currently installed on your device but will not be backed up, either using the official adb backup, LG Backup, Sony Backup and Restore, etc. (because they all use adb backup internally). So you can be cautious on advance and you are aware that the backup methods used officially have its flaws.
1) REQUIREMENTS
I will make the list of apps using a computer, so you need several things set up on the computer and the android phone.
1.1) SMARTPHONE REQUIREMENTS
-> USB Debugging enabled: How to enable USB Debugging on Android [Youtube]
1.2) COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
-> aapt.exe and adb.exe installed. I recommend to install the Android Studio Bundle. The binaries will be installed in a path similar to this:
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\24.0.3\aapt.exe
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
-> Add the paths of aapt.exe and adb.exe to your current PATH in Windows: How to Edit Your System PATH for Easy Command Line Access in Windows
-> Cygwin is mandatory to run bash commands on Windows. The x86 version is recommended because it has more commands than the 64bit version. This is where you will actually type the commands.
-> adb drivers for your smartphone. Windows 10 usually will install them flawlessly.
2) GETTING THE LIST OF APPS THAT DON'T ALLOW ADB BACKUP
2.2) CHECKING FOR SOFTWARE AND SMARTPHONE
Go into cygwin to a working directory to store there your temporary files:
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/Temp/
Check with Cygwin that you PATH is currently set and that adb.exe and aapt.exe are usable:
Code:
which adb
/cygdrive/c/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb
which aapt
/cygdrive/c/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/aapt
Now connect your android smartphone to the computer with the screen unlocked, accept any data connection (use MTP method if asked or from notifications panel), authorize the computer and run on Cygwin:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
LGH815b4b2c42e unauthorized
adb devices
List of devices attached
LGH815b4b2c42e device
2.3) GETTING THE LIST OF ALL APPS ON THE DEVICE
On this step, a list of all apps on the smartphone, will be saved to a file called all_packages.txt in the format of package name. That string that appears at the end of the url when you browse an app on the Play Store.
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep -v '^$' > all_packages.txt
UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WILL REPLY WHEN FINISHED. SUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE INSTERESTED
It looks like somebody released an application for that and works great:
No ADB backup app lister

Definition of ADB - http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
1. Install Drivers
Win 7 drivers - http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yd61xorii - thanks shep211.
Win 7 64bit, Vista and XP - Confirmed works with HTC Sync - thanks to crackerstyle OR use HTC Sync.exe from the stock MicroSD card shipped with the phone. Myn also used these drivers - http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC EVO (Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe
Mac OS X drivers -
Linux drivers -
2. Install ADB (part of Android SDK)
Google's Main page - on the Android SDK which contains the adb binary inside the tools folder - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Windows Specific Android SDK installer (contains ADB binary inside tools folder) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
Linux Specific Android SDK installer (contains ADB binary inside tools folder) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-linux_86.tgz
Mac Specific Android SDK installer (contains ADB binary inside tools folder) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-mac_86.zip
3. Enabling ADB support on EVO
If using completely stock EVO, adb will be disabled in recovery and can't be enabled.
If using the PC36IMG.zip (userdebug RUU) automatically turns on adb in recovery mode.
If in normal android mode, adb can be enabled by Settings->Applications->USB Debugging.
4. Running (Executing) ADB on Host computer
Windows - start->run->cmd . Navigate to the extracted the Android SDK folder and into the subfolder called tools.
cd c:\android-sdk\tools\
Now simply execute the commands in Step 5 and 6.
5. Learn basic ADB commands
adb push - sends a file to the phone over ADB thru USB - adb push c:\test.apk /sdcard/test.apk
adb pull - receives a file from the phone over ADB thru USB - adb pull /system/app/Test.apk c:\Test.apk
adb shell - starts a shell connection with the phone
adb reboot - restarts the phone
adb reboot recovery - restarts the phone into recovery
adb reboot bootloader - restarts the phone into the bootloader (white screen)
adb remount - remounts the file system
adb install <path to .apk file> - installs an application - adb install c:\swype.apk
adb uninstall <package name> - uninstalls an application - package name is usually in the format, com.android.browser
6. Learn basic Linux commands to run through ADB shell
cd - changes directories - works through stock android toolbox - cd /system/app
ls - lists all files in the directory - works through stock android toolbox - ls /system/app/
cat - copies files - works through stock android toolbox - cat /system/app/Test.apk > /sdcard/Test.apk
rm - removes files - works through stock android toolbox - rm /system/app/Test.apk
mv - moves files from one location to another - works through stock android toolbox - mv /system/app/Test.apk /sdcard/Test.apk
cp - copies files - functions similar to cat - uses busybox installed by the EVO-recovery.zip into recovery mode - cp /system/app/Test.apk /sdcard/Test.apk
mount - loads the file system (usually auto loaded except sometimes in recovery) - mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
unmount - unloads the file system - umount /system

Thanks a ton joeykrim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really helpful!!!!!!!
Yeah, super handy. I know enough linux to make my way around moving files and what not... but this saved me a few googles for download links and figuring out what adb was.
Danke danke.
how do you install the drivers?..it's just folders

download file is blocked for me and i dont have win7 or the evo yet, so you'll have to help and hopefully others will chime in.
i would assume once you plug the phone in, it will prompt/ask for drivers, simply navigate to the folders from the download file.

Also might want to add adb pull and install and devices. Also remember if it says it cannot find your device make sure usb debugging is set in Settings->Applications and type in adb kill-server and adb remount.

anyone using a REAL version of windows (Win7 64bit) will need these drivers... pulled from the SDK autodownloader... was a ***** to find... prob need to disable sign enforcement... mine is. when asked which of the 3 to select press the first Android ADB Interface.
yea your welcome...
That file doesn't work for me :-(
It just says that it can't install the drivers when I try to update/reinstall driver for the device "ADB" in device manager. I have tried the drivers from the SDK, the set in the post from the OP and the one a couple posts above me. What gives?
Can someone please give me detailed instructions how to install quake 3 on the samsung captivate
You have to be able to sideload applications and/or install non market apps. There are multiple threads on how to do this, which typically also include rooting. Anyway I would
1. Root the phone
2. Install the Phones drivers on PC
3. Download Qwaak3 Arena for your device
4. Unpack the rar file to somewhere on your PC
5. Copy the quake3 folder to sdcard/ (this is the internal SD card NOT the external sdcard/sd)
6. Put your phone in Debug Mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging)
7. Fire up Droid Explorer and load the APK file (Tools > Manage Packages > Install Package)
I cant install it using a powermac.
I download the apk
I cant open on my mac
I tried to install the apk onto my sd card
The file is there but when i install it and try to open it the game force closes.
Im a noob so I figure Im doing something wrong. I have some experience with installing files like this onto mobiles but new to android. any ideas?
*EDIT: This is for vanilla kwaak3. Not the kwaak3 arena that was pasted in the Captivate Apps forum*
I just got it working on my Captivate. I'm using Win7 64 bit though. You do not need to root to install and play Kwaak3.
Download adb - I got it through the Android SDK (you would only need to install the tools, nothing else unless you were going to develop). Then use adb to install Kwaak3.
List devices:
Code:
adb devices
If you don't have any Android emulators running, it should be the only thing that shows up. It'll be a bunch of letters and numbers followed by the word "device".
Then use adb to install the kwaak3.apk file. The '-s' flag designates which device to use - if you have multiple Android devices plugged in or emulators running.
Code:
adb -s <put your device ID here. It's the string of letters and numbers from above without the brackets> install kwaak3.apk
Then use adb to push each individual .pk3 file onto the sdcard. Use pak0.pk3 from the quake3 demo or from your cd if you own it. Take pak1-pak8 from the Quake3 1.32 point release.
You have to do it individually for each .pk3, for example, pak0.pk3...
Code:
adb -s <device> push <full path to pak0.pk3 without brackets> /sdcard/quake3/baseq3/
Once all .pk3's are in that folder, you're good to go.
Hope that helps.
Link to Android SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Link to adb instructions for your reference:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
In this guide I will show you how to use adb to move files to or from your device. Especially helpful if your device has MTP and you can't get it to work with mtpfs on GNU/Linux.
What do you need?
Computer with GNU/Linux.
Connection to the Internet.
The 32bit adb binary or the 64bit adb binary, they are added as attachment to this post. (1)
An Android phone with USB debugging on.
Steps:
Connect your phone with a USB cable to your computer. Make sure you have USB debugging on! (2) Put the adb binary in a folder where you can open a terminal. With the terminal open type:
Code:
./adb devices
Make sure it says something like this:
Code:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXdevice
Now you know you properly connected your device type:
Code:
./adb pull /sdcard/
or
Code:
./adb push /sdcard/
More info on adb commands you can find here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
(1): If you are using the Debian or Ubuntu distro (or another wich allows you to install *.deb files) you can install the 32- or 64 bit adb packages and use adb from every folder. Download them from the attachments. If you use this type adb instead of ./adb.
(2): Don't know how to turn on USB debugging? Go to settings, scroll down to the About phone menu item. Tap it and scroll down again to Build number and tap it many times! Then go to settings, and tap developer options and find the USB debugging option.
I hope this was helpful, but I think not, because I get no replies...
AW: [GUIDE] MTP doesn't work for you on GNU/Linux? Use adb.
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html
I usually use sftp to transfer files. No cable and shell access included.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If you want to copy lots of files, like your music collection or movies, wireless is not fast enough. That's why I use adb, because it's very fast.
Since there is no way to root our device yet, there is no way to remove stuff you don't want to from the system itself. Or, not by removing the folder/apk itself. But there is a way to deactivate the application so it wont "exist" in the system. This can even be done with apps that you normally can't deactivate in applications menu. You will need adb shell to do this (I use Linux, but the procedure is about the same in Windows).
First, activate Developer menu. You do this in Settings > System > About Phone and push Version 5 times. Now you get the menu Developer options (or whatever it's named in your language). Activate developer options, and them USB Debugging. Connect your cable to your computer and open the terminal and run adb shell. You will get something like this;
Code:
zynex~*sudo adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
H8324:/ $
If you get error: insufficient permissions for device, try adb kill-server and try connect again. You will need to find the application name you want to disable, fx com.touchtype.swiftkey. I use FX Explorer, but there's a bunch of other apps that will do this. Then you use this command to disable it;
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 <APP NAME>
The app will be removed from the system directly, if it don't, reboot. The files itself won't be removed from your system, but will be app will be unavailable. If you want to reactivate the app again, you will have to access and run the apk file (inside system/app or system/priv-app) thru fx. FX Explorer or similar program.
NOTE: If you disable com.google.android.syndadaptors.contacts, Sony Contacts apps crash (not sure why).
Happy hacking

Windows says the installer is a trojan. This is the link I reached from the OP. Windows identifies it as Spursint.F!cl. I guess false positive? It can't install. I'll try portable.

Thank you for your tool. The portable version was just what I needed. Everything works perfectly with zero effort. Now the immersive mode app I have is working. An unexpected bonus of immersive mode is that it even hides the taskbar in DeX mode.
