So I'm trying to freeze the amazon mp3 app and it's still showing up in my apps drawer. Any thoughts?
Used Titanium backup to freeze. Alternatively, where is the apk located so I can forcefully remove it?

To remove, use root explorer, mount r/w, go to system, apps, and it's in there.
Thanks... worked a treat. Made a backup just in case.

Hi!
I'm gonna submit my Samsung Galaxy S2 back to the company where i bought it from because it is not possible to call with it (people hear me very bad and it echoes for them). I have NOT rooted my phone. Is there a FREE backup app that I can take backup of all contacts, messages, apps, games, any settings, etc? And then save it on your computer or something, so if I get a new Samsung Galaxy S2, i can have everything back.
Thanks!
My backup root can back everything up, needs root though.
Contacts = your taking the piss right??
games = you can just re-install them, tied to your account
messages = http://www.galaxys2forums.com/samsu...ransfer-sms-from-android-to-computer/new/#new
mybackup and sprite back up "apparently " can without root

For backing up your contacts, you can use your Google account or even Kies. Similarly, your Google account may restore your apps (fresh install), depending on your settings for your account (Back up apps and data enabled?). Nevertheless, this only restores apps directly downloaded from the market (non-backed up). You'll need to copy the folders in which your game data is stored (e.g. "gameloft" in your sd card), as restoring the app will not keep that data. Just copy the whole directory to your computer.

Allright, thank you very much! If i copy the gameloft folder to my desktop and then put it on the new phone. Will they be installed directly?
For SMS I would recommend SMS backup+
would be good if google backed up app data to the cloud as well in case of a reinstall when moving phones

Yes and no! You'll need to download the game app (about 3mb) (but not the full game) again. But for all the data which is part of the game (about 300mb) you can simply copy the folder. If you have a paid full version, you not need do do anything else (at least for gameloft games). You don't even need to backup the game app, as you'll be able to download the trial version again. After pasting the copied "gameloft" folder back on your phone, the trial version will become a full version automatically.
Just be carefull to enable "USB Utilities" on "Wireless and Network" settings before copying, otherwise you'll risk copying an empty folder.

Aight, so first i copy it to the computer. Then on the new phone, i download "game app" from the.market. Then copy the folder.
Exactly.
However, I was just wondering... The only thing is that I did it many times but with the same phone (i.e. new firmware but same IMEI number). I'm not sure if it will be hassle free if you do this in a phone with different IMEI number, as there might be some sort of protection against copying a paid game to another device.
Nevertheless, as you have paid for it you probably still have how to prove it to gameloft should you have any trouble. and download a new key if this is the case.

i just rooted (but not any special ROM)and everything worked perfectly until a couple of hours ago when gallery showed no images/folders. i restored it to a backup with titanium backup which then showed my folders but when i clicked on them, they disappeared. i used a file manager to make sure they are there, and it shows that there are images there. has anyone seen this? is there a way to fix it? or am i boned?
I would just use quickpic from the market. Its free and way better than the stock gallery. Hope this helps.

What did you restore with Titanium Backup? Wouldn't the Gallery app be exactly the same as what you have on your phone? I would try Clear Data from Manage Applications. Also, where are your items stored? If on external SD, I would try to get my hands on another SDcard to see it that's not the problem. Very rarely, I get something like what you are saying, but usually unmounting and remounting the SDcard fixes it. Maybe try fixing permissions with ROM Manager or in ClockworkMod?
well i tried just restoring the data with TB and then i also did app and data an got the same results, i tried mounting and un mounting but that didnt work either. ill try another sd card

Thanks for the heads-up on Quickpic. So much easier to use and view than the stock gallery.
How does it work if you have to move paid apps with data from one phone to another? I have done free apps a few times, but TB will install those from its own back up rather than market. Don't paid apps must be installed from market by signing in? How to transfer data alone using TB?
All you gave to do is back up your paid apps in TB and the pull off your Titanium folder from your sdcard and put it on your new phone. Then on new phone, sign into market and dl'd TB. Once you have it there, you are pure profit. All your backups are held as .tar files so once you open TB it will pull up your exact configuration. You'll just need to restore your app and data. You can also create an update.zip of the TB app that is flashable which is only the app and data itself, not all your other apps, just TB.
Another feature is that if you hit menu>more, there is an option called Market Doctor that will re-link all your apps back to the Market. Also another setting is when I freeze an app, I break the market link so it doesn't show up on the updates section. Figure if I am freezing it, why would I update it. Unfreeze and it re-links by itself. Handy trick eh?
Appreciate the detailed reply. So you mean to say no difference between free and paid apps when using TB to restore?
Nope. An app is an app is an app as far as TB is concerned.
Hi guys, I am looking for the location of where com.* files are stored. I installed an application upon removal it stated com.hc.'AppName' could not be uninstalled. so I would like to hunt for it and force remove it. I have use Titanium backup to try and search and also my root file manager but can not seem to find it.
The game was some daft sheep game (I downloaded it to get EQ in double twist for free, usually £4.99)
Well the apk is located in /data/app/ it could be there, or if the leftovers are making problems they are in /data/data/ You could also use sdmaid to clean it up.

When I uninstall apps (normally via Titanium Backup, but also via Android System), the .apk gets deleted, but there is still a lot of Data / Files / Folders on the sdcard.
Is there anyway to automatically remove all these when uninstalling the Apps? Possibly through a third party uninstaller app?
Cheers
Stewart
You could try SD maid, it's really useful and it had helped me with that

I have (and use) SDMaid, but I still had to go and manually delete loads of files and folders earlier on today!
Should I be uninstalling apps using SDMaid somehow?
delete before hand
You might just have to suck it up and do so manually or delete data before uninstall.
Some folders just can't be automaticly matched to installed/uninstalled apps.
We will have to delete those by hand.
I have the same problem, when I uninstall HD games I always have to delete manually the folder.
I don't take it as a big problem, but sometimes you don't know where is the folder.
