Hi,
I downloaded the free application "Jupiler Pro League" by market (football app),
I would like to save the .apk (as I do for all my applications) with MyPhoneExplorer
but it is protected by copyright, is there a trick? it's a free application
so really I don't understand why I cannot save it for a system recovery in future ...
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Can you not pull the .apk using adb?
how to do that please? thanks
Need Root,
you can do it with appMonster Pro
Root ok, I work with CM7v16, I try app monster pro, thanks
Ok, it say "protected", now what can I do? I try "backup"
but the .apk is not saved, (the rest of apps are saved on sd)
If you want the app+data then use Titanium Backup. If you just want the apk I'll post it here for you

Yes, just the apk it's perfect! thanks very much for this! but I would like
do it my self can U tell me how do please? thanks again
edit: your apk it's jupiler league, it's not the same that jupiler PRO league
oops sorry, I didn't see the pro league. Anyway, if you have adb set up already just go to command prompt and type adb pull /data/app/jupiler.apk. If you do not have adb set up then we can get that set up for you.
Another way (which may be easier) is to download File Expert and on the top there will be four tabs. The far right one will be "Apps". Go to that tab, find Jupiler Pro, and back it up. Now, you'll have the .apk on your sdcard in a folder labeled backuped apps (or something like that).
No problem so, file expert work perfectly with a "normal" appli but not with
an appli protected, the folder is empty... I'm really sorry...
Have you downloaded AndroidSDK so that you can pull it off your phone using adb?
EDIT: I have other methods and apps you can try but it's all on my phone and I don't have my phone with me right now. When I get home I'll take a look for you.

Open terminal and try this:
1.Enter su to be superuser (root).
2.Enter cd /data/app-private/ to enter the protected application directory.
3.Use ls to view the apps in the directory.
4.Enter cp filename.apk /sdcard to copy a single app to your SD card.
(Or to backup all the protected apps: cp * /sdcard)
5.If you want to backup all your apps, they can be found in /data/app/
Hi, too noob for this, I don't understand AndroidSDK
no problem, thanks for all
here a detailed description of the subject http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1273508
I hope it will be useful

So I downloaded the Angry Birds apk, installed it, and then deleted the apk from my download folder. The app is still installed and working, but I can't actually find anything on the phone relating to it (been all through Astro and Linda looking for files). Any idea where it's hiding?

that's where I looked before. my data folder is empty.
not sure how it's possible that sdcard/data/apps could be empty. Have you done other mids?
Astro has a search function too by the way.
Yep, tried Astro's search before making the thread. All it found were some icons on my external sd.
I'm running a few mods but nothing that should cause this (lock screen, mobile ap, meta morphs)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
try
$adb shell
$su
#cd /data/app
#ls
the file should be listed as com.rovio.angrybirds.apk
Two questions:
Is there a directory of preloaded programs on the Dell Streak (from AT&T) so that you can find them in the root directory, and delete them?
Second, which is the best app for deleting them (and file management)?
I am used to WM6.5, and Resco Explorer on that OS was just like Windows Explorer, very easy to use, drag and drop, nested folders, etc.
Thanks

I used App Delete from the market. Hit the menu key to show system apps. Give it a try.
P.S. Be sure to install BysyBox first.
Have busybox, thanks!
Is this the program you are talking about?

I did uninstall a number of items to free resources as described here: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=8457 or by using Root Uninstaller
amazonmp3.apk

Hi
I'm looking for an easy way to batch install all of my already backed up applications on external SD (in *.apk format) after new rom flashing. My phone is rooted (running RR 2.7). what if using a root explorer I just copy all the apk files to data\app and copy some of them to system\app and then reboot the phone? Will all of these application be automatically installed, while apk's copied to data\app will be installed as user apps, and those copied to system\app will install as system apps? Will this work? Is there a problem in this method? If so I may create a CWM based installer that will do this automatically...
I'm talking about 400 apps, about 600MB in total size//
Thanks
How are they backed up? What did you use to do it? I use Titanium Backup. The paid version allows batch operations.

I used an app called File expert. It can simply find the apk file used in the installation and back it up. I can reinstall the app with the backed up apk. I also tried copying a new apk file to data/app and after restarting the app did install correctly. So I want to use this method to restore all of my apps automatically by creating a CWM zip installation. I need to know if this method is safe and will not cause problems...
Thanks

No need to do any of that crap and mess around. Just use Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) and you can backup all your apps plus the app data so they keep all their settings etc. Then when you install a new rom you can batch install them all back in couple of clicks.

Don't know that app. You can define the backup folder in TiBu to reinstall your apps that way. Or iirc Rom Toolbox will take a batch of apps and create a cwm zip file to batch install.

Using CWM zip installation is actually the best method. It is safe and faster too.
Thanks. I'm familiar with TB and MB. I do not need to restore the app's data. I'm just looking for a way to install all my market apps without actually using the market. I noticed that when you reboot the phone, any new apk file in either system/app or data/app gets installed automatically. So I thought maybe I take a CWM setup file (zip with simple copy to system + data updater-script)' and add all of my backed apk's into the data/app directory then I can install this zip file right after I flash a new rom file. For some reason, CM9 recommends that you do not use TB. I also noticed that dev's use this method to add additional apps to their rom.. I just need to know that this method is ok to use and not cause problems like acquire extra space by creating duplicates of each app (I notice using this method that sometime the original apk I copied was reset to a 0Kb file, and a new apk that starts with the name "com.something.something.apk" is created instead. Is this normal?)
Thanks

I'll help you create a CWM zip template. I'll upload it in about 3 hrs time as soon as i get to my pc
This is a CWM.zip I created for you.
How to:
1. Open the zip file using 7zip, winrar or similar apps (don't extract it)
2. Copy your users apps to data/app, and copy system apps to system/app
3. Close the zip file.
4. Flash the zip file via CWM recovery.
enjoy.

tested it with a few apps and it worked great. Is there a file size limitation to cwm.zip? If I add all my apps the zip files grows to about 350MB

Hi,
I would like to share with you my new app. In few words... this app let you move Android folder (which usually contains app/game data) to external SD.
ROOT and BUSYBOX required!!!!!
How does it work? It's simple. It's a binder that binds Android folder from ext to int SD, all what you have to do is:
Move Android folder from internal to external SD (automatic in the future)
Install my app
Open app
Check "Bind Android folder blablabal"
Click Save
Reboot phone
1.0 - Initial release
Cheers

Me too, thanks.
Tried this.
I moved the Android folder which contain all the data to my SD card and run the app, checked the box and restart my phone.
But when I run those games, it ask me to download all the data again. And even the fancy widgets can't detect the skins which downloaded earlier.
Any advice?

Is your device rooted and do you have busybox installed?
Yes. It is rooted and with busybox installed.
I moved the entire Android folder to external SD and run the app but with no luck.

I think I might know what the issue is. Once you move the folder into the sdcard, and the use the app to bind the folder. If you then delete the Android folder from the internal sd, all stuff gets deleted from the extSdCard as well. Once you bind the two folders, I think whatever is in one automatically is in the other one as well. I maybe speaking n00bishly here but that is what I observed.
Maybe the person for whom this is not working deleted the Android folder from the internal sdcard after he used the app. Thats why the files got removed from the extSDcard as well.
I think a working way would be to copy the data to ext sdcard first, delete from the internal, then use the app. Although from what little use I experienced was that whatever data is coming in after using the app is present in both locations. I maybe wrong though, maybe I'm using it wrongly. Please correct me if I'm using it wrongly.

Ok. Well. It is not correct anyway.
This is how i did.
1) MOVE the ANDROID folder from internal SD to External SD by MY FILE
2) Once file moved, i never delete any folder from internal SD.
3) Run the app. Check the box, save and grant permission.
4) Reboot the phone.
And once phone starts, apps like fancy widgets, or games will require me to download the data file again. And there's one more ANDROID folder being generated in Internal SD
Rooted N7105 with busy box installed
Let me know if i miss out any steps
Thanks
Hi,
Does your app use mount-o bind ?
I so, install instruction:
1) COPY android folder to extsdcard
2) DELETE content of android folder, but then leave the empty android folder there.
3) run app
If that doesn't work, check that you have a kernel that uses init.d, if the method is the one I think.
Am I right ?
Otherwise, will try this app, DirectoryBind keeps crashing and randomly forgetting the location of my spotify cache...

You dont need this for making Spotify use the external Sd card. Install an older Spotify apk. Start it and in loginscreen press menu button and change sd location to exSdCard. Then you can update Spotify in Market to the newest and it will use the external sd card.

Yes, it does use mount -o bind command, but not via init.d scipt.
Ad 2. When you tap "Save" button, my app check if Android folder exists on internal sd and creates it if necessary.
Work great with crash rom v3.1

Hi,
I wanted to see the whole file system of my phone. I have already rooted it.
This is what I want to do :
I have installed an app. by the name "Printershare". It is, as the name says, for printing. When I connect a printer to the phone, it downloads some driver pack from the internet. I want to check what it downloaded (All the files everything in the 'Driver Pack'). But when I connect my phone to my system, using samsung kies, I can only access the phone data and not the data internal to the apps.
Is there any way of accessing everything on the phone?
NOTE: Phone is already rooted.
Thanks

Download a file manager on your phone like ES File Explorer or something similar. Those usually allow you to browse to root directory after gaining superuser privileges.
Or if you want to just view them you can install terminal emulator and do a
Code:
cd /
Well via a pc I dont think there is a method to access system partitions...but if you use ES file explorer ..you will be able to access all your system files through your phone itself....but be careful not to delete any important files in the system good luck
hope this helped
use adb shell

If the app you installed is a normal apk file....and I mean if you installed it like normal....some of the app data will be in the data folder of your root ....that means you need to go back up to the root folder...then you will see a folder called data....go into that folder and you will see many folders....there are two important folders....one again is named data...the other is named app....but please if you dont know what you are you better not go in...as there maybe risks to the system....

/data/data
