So I just got my Prime today and it's great!!!!
I am coming from an Original Transformer so I used App backup to backup my apps. I put them on my Prime using app backup, but now the Market doesn't see that my apps are installed.
Will the apps update when needed? Or should I just format and start all over?
Please help or let me know if anyone else had this issue.
Clear the data on the market app, and restart the device. You would have been better off using Titanium Backup, now that we can Root our Devices.

Thank you that worked!!!
I love my Prime I wish my GPS worked but I will still keep it because everything else is great!!!
I need someone with an Android phone to use Titanium Backup and back up Appredeem. I have a kindle fire but that app isnt supported. I have been told if I get the 3 backup files for the app then I can restore it with the data and it will work. I dont have an Android phone so I can't do it myself. If someone is willing to do the backup and send me the files just post here or pm me and I will give you my email. The app is free so this isn't piracy!

Here is the apk for this app. http://db.tt/uaEKGNu2 this way is much easier than using a tibu backup. Just install the apk.

I appreciate it, but that doesn't fix the issue. I can install the app from the market, it just doesn't work when I open it on my Kindle Fire running CM7. I need someone to install i ton their phone then back up the app/data. Then when I restore it on my Kindle Fire with the app and data it will think that my Kindle Fire is an Android phone and allow me to open it.
That's it. Just figured you all would like the heads up

that's cool, but I wish there was only one store. I bought beautiful widgets on my old email, used getjar for the free, then just bought it again on sale. I didn't want to ask for a refund. I am now hoping to get my free amazin apps on play so I can stop installing 2 markets. I would love google to let me buy swiftkey x but it keeps saying install declined and no one will help. I may look for a torrent because that is pathetic service. like my money isn't good enough or something.
You need to reinstall from the original location, then wipe data & destroy market link in Titanium Backup. Then clear the market...erm google play... cache & data, and you should be good to go!
thanks. ill try that later. have a sunflower. or a daisy. I'm not sure. I just picked it on the way in.

Thanks for the heads up
Is there a way to remove market links without ti backup pro?

From another thread:
I made sure I had a backup of the app, then uninstalled it. I then browsed to the Titanium Backup backup folder on the internal SD card, and found the *.properties file of the app in question. Long press on it and opened it in Text Editor. I then deleted out every line that started with 'market.' I then saved it, and Ti Backup automatically creates a backup of the original file. Then I restored the app. But to get this process to work, I also had to clear the Market app data (as per your tip).

Has anyone managed to install Whatsapp on their tf300?
Try backing it up on your phone with Titanium Backup, copy the backup file to your tablet and restore it there.
Did just that. It wont come out properly. The app just wont show up.
Ok, how about this - get the apk of WhatsApp from your phone and put it on your tablet and install it. Then go to Titanium Backup and just restore data from the backup you made on your phone.
This is what I've done (just remembered this now, thought you just had to copy the backup and restore it) when I was experimenting with Android on my netbook a couple of months ago and it worked
The app actually checks if it's a tablet trying to run it. Prolly need to dig out the manifest and change it since that has nothing to do with user data and can not be altered via titanium or any other backup tool.
Works for me! (see the attachment)
Here's what I did:
- copied WhatsApp's apk from my phone to the tablet
- made a backup of WhatsApp in Titanium Backup on my phone
- installed WA from the apk I just copied on the tablet
- copied the 3 files Titanium Backup made for WA's backup from the phone to the tablet (obviously you need to put those files to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup)
- ran TB on my tablet, only restored data for WA
- ran WA and it worked

can you do this with a non rooted phone?
Does the phone used have to be the one you want to send the whatsapp messages from?
how do i copy the apk?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
No, you need root on your phone as Titanium Backup won't work otherwise. The apk is in /data/app, but you'd also need root to access that folder.
You'd need a backup made on your phone, since WhatsApp uses your phone number to send/show messages. If someone else would send you their backups, you'd see their messages and would send messages in their name as well, so that isn't a possibility.

Thanks. it's a shame. i Haven't rooted my xperia play. Would it work if i inserted my sim card into the rooted phone?

Probably. If you do that, check if WhatsApp shows your conversations and you should be good to go.

where can i find the apk? I know you said data/app but how do i even get to that folder?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
You'll need a file browser that can go to the root "folder" (not sure if that's the right expression, hah) your phone, like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, as the data folder is there.

Got it working thanks a lot Yeah I forgot to install the app first before actually trying to restore data.
@ w3by Thanks!!! Successfully installed!
I think i know the answer to that, but i'm going to ask anyway...:silly:
there's no way of copying my WA files the same way from my iPhone to
my TF300...right?
so just wait for a supported version, should it even be released...?
thanks
That I don't really know because its an Iphone. I never use apple products. But if its an android to android thing then something can be done
it works quite easy but you can only use it on one device otherwise WA bugs you do death with verifying your phonenumber.
if you backup with TB all i needed to do is restore it and it worked - but my gnex was also running it at that time so both devices went bezerk with the verifying your number. i killed it on my gnex and used the sms verify and WA worked like a charm on my tf300 - tho since i use my phone on the road mosty i deleted it again on the tab - but it definetly works - tho ofc updates will have to copied over via TB backup since the playstore wont update it (same with LBE privacy guard - not available for tabs but works the same)
cheers
PS: for iphone:

get the apk for your tab and enter your phone number and get the sms actication us the pin you get by sms and enter it on your tf300 - bear in mind tho that you still face the same probs i mentioned above- WA cant be used by more than one device simultaniously
(it goes without saying that you prolly should install with TB - so you need root)

i want to back up app data only (like progress of game, settings of app)
i can use the built in asus app backup to do this, but i want to restore data on other devices, not just asus devices, so i need another solution. and for some reason, the built in asus appbackup cannot back up temple run game progress (i tried riptide gp and it restored successfully, anyway like i said i don't want to use this built in app although it's cool )
i tried titanium backup (free version) but it backs up the app AND app data, which is unnecessary (at least for me)
please suggest an app, thanks
[i'm rooted]
TB should do the trick, shouldn't it?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
You can back up both, but if you want, you can restore just the data or just the app

i know, but i don't want to backup app + data, i just want data only,
because it takes a long time to back up app + data, for example: i'm playing riptide on my tablet, i want to back up data, upload to dropbox, go to my phone, i can just download the app data and restore it, then continue the riptide progress,
i don't want to back up both app + data, it takes a long time to back up and upload, and is not necessary, if you're on 3G or 4G you're just wasting your cellular data.
so except the built in app backup, no other app can do this? really?
