[Q] How do you save an APK? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just experienced an issue where everything on my phone was deleted, even my TB files. Soooo how can I save an apk so that I can just load it back on my phone later on?

The easy way to do this is simply save a copy of your Titanium Backup file to your computer. If you want to make a copy of a single app you can use Root Explorer to copy it to your sd card then save it on your computer. Apps are located in either the system/app or data/app folders.

Titanium Backup question?

First off let me say if this is adressed in another thread or video, im sorry!
But my question is this: How does titanium backup work?
For example, if I run a full system recovery with TB and then flash the sbf file and then load gingerblur, can I then recover all of the settings and apps from titanium backup? If so, how might one go about doing that?
Another example would be, if I return my atrix for a new atrix for whatever reason, could I recover everything after that?
Thanks in advance for all your help guys!

When you start tibu press menu then batch, then select "backup all user apps" (I think its first). Let it run. Then you can run SBC and Ginger blur then install tibu from the market, open it press menu, batch, then go about 1/2 down to "restore missing apps with data" and start it and when its done you have all apps with settings back.
A also highly recommend buying tibu premium as it makes most of this automated.

Ok thanks for the reply! So titanium backup creates a recovery file on the phone that wont be erased and ill always be able to access it?
Also does it work if I get a new phone?

Yes, that would be my question as that is where I am.
I have the directory on my sdcard-ext; I've copied it to the empty directory of the same name on the sdcard yet I can't seem to get at any of my old backups.
What did I miss in the process? Is there a way to make it LOOK at this saved data?
Well I don't know about not being erased; the program backs up the application and all of its data into a folder. You can do single applications or all of them.
If you are say, resetting the phone or doing a factory reset, this is essential if you want all of your applications back the way you had them.
I'm using two phones and when I got my second, I just installed TB on it and backed up the apps that I wanted transfered wwith data (mostly games and things that don't have cloud data) and copied them to the new phone to be restored.
I just bought the pro version that gives access to dropbox and other things but I haven't used any of the features yet.

I believe TiBu's default location is in /sdcard/titaniumbackup (From root location). Now once you back up your apps all that information is stored in that "Titaniumbackup" folder. Now what you can do is copy that folder and where, even your computer and it's saved. You can even load that folder on a different phone and run TiBu on the phone and install the apps on that phone. Usually when you flash roms or even the SBF file it wont erase the internal SD card, at least I've never had an issue with my internal SD being erased in the last 2 years. Just take your titaniumbackup folder and put it on to you internal SD card and TiBu should recognize it no problem.
As far as how it saves it, I think it saves the .apk and it also saves another with the app settings.
Hope this helps clear some stuff up.
Ok cool, thank you very much for the help!

App to extract all downloaded apps (APKs) before flashing new ROM

Is there an app that easily does that just simple copy and paste of apks from all possible places to the sdcard
I hate how i have to copy apk's from different locations like /system/sd (ext/a2sd drive) and other places..I dont want backup (.tgz) by TItanium backup
don't know if it works, but try to search all the file using an explorer searching for *.apk and then copy them all to a folder. btw i will lose all the data if u don't save them. i think a backup with titanium or nadroid + data is better

Either use root explorer to put the apk into /system/app
or
download android commander and install as a system application or push to /system/app

Here's my titanium backup for the music app, just change the Music2.zip filename to Music.z01.

Is there a way to get some stock apps back?

Hello, this was my first time rooting a phone so I tried it and everything went well, I deleted some of the stock sprints apps like sprint ID using titanium backup pro, decided to restore the phone but it seems like those apps are not back.
I unrooted my phone to see if that would fix the problem but it didn't. Is there a way to get those apps back into the phone?
Thank you
Download any custom rom (blur rom may included all apps) open it using winrar. Extract all system apps, copy necessary apps in to your sdcard . Then using esfile explorer (with root permission) copy apps from sd card to system/apps or data/apps (or try to install it). Change permission to rw-r-r if needs then reboot.

No Downloadind no file Explorer

Hello there. It seems I got the download manager corrupted when trying to put the playstore to work. The thing is I have backed up the files with titanium backup in my pc. But i am unable to access it. Because i did a factory reset excpecting it will restore all the files.
Now i have the backup and apps in the download folder, however as the KFHDX does not come with a file Explorer i cannot install titanium backup to restore. Also any download for all interfaces fails (Email, browser, apps, books).
I would appreciate any help in solving this issue.
