Does anyone have the apk for GPad Pro? I use it on my Samsung Intercept and would also like it on my NT (if it decides to work that is.).
You could try just copying it out of /data/app on your phone (e.g. to Dropbox or something similar). I don't know anything about that app, but I've used that process several times.
Agree with ^
Otherwise you would technically be asking for warez. Use TB to back up the app and transfer is to the nook.
Not sure if it has to be rooted to look there but looking in that folder using androzip shows an empty directory. -Edit: Just found out that AndroZip will backup the app. didn't know that before. Thank you.
So, is your phone not rooted? I don't know if that is a requirement to look in that folder (I haven't used an unrooted phone in almost two years). If you're not rooted, the TiBu isn't an option either. Have you rooted and installed the market on your NT? Looking the app up at market.android.com shows it is compatible with all my devices (including my NT with an unmodified build.prop).
Edit: you could also try using Astro file explorer to backup and then copy the APK from your phone's SD card. That would be another non-root option.

Hi! I need to reinstall MobiTV on my tmo Vibrant so that I can cancel the service. I am running the Eugene373 Vibrant9 ROM (very nice!). I have the app backed up with Titanium from an earlier backup (there is a tar.gz and a properties file associated with the app), and have that TitaniumBackup directory stored on my laptop, but when I do what seems to be the obvious thing (copying the directory to the phone) Titanium does not give me an option to restore MobiTV. I must be missing something obvious.
Ideas? Thanks!
MobiTV is in the /system/app folder and Titanium cannot properly install into /system/app. A lot of my themed apps that I had manually pushed into the folder, like smoked widgets, never restore properly. I wind up having to push the apk's through ADB after everything else is restored.

OK. So I have gone through the TitaniumBackup directory and failed to find the relevant apk. I guess that when i told it to backup all apps and data it didn't do this apk because it was "system"?
So, I found an apk here: h t t p :// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=763580. Is this going to do what I want it to do (reinstall MobiTV)? Which directory should I push it into?
OK. The app is installs and runs, but it says it can't "authorize user". Sigh. I'm feeling like I need to start a new thread, as this one is no longer anything like the right name, nut this is one last query.... Ideas?
so im a bit uunsure about this -- after doing some light work to my x10 it runs amazing ------ i rooted (using the 0.2.6 flashtool), busyboxd, xrecoveryd, and purchased root explorer. then i read through a few safe to remove app lists, and moved an assortment including everything Timescape, and most other 'useless' ones to a folder i created on my SD card called 'deleted backups'
i want to try an ota update check, (because i want the official dual touch) and i figured it might be a good idea to restore these apps to avoid any issues... after putting them all carefully back where i got them in root explorer, and a reboot i cant find timescape or any of the other restored apps in the menu..their in the right folder according to root managed and astro.. am i doing something wrong or missing something?
now if i go to titanium, all the apps i first moved over to the sd card.. arent accessible for backup or freeze or uninstall...
what did i do? lol
I'm a new Streak owner (unlocked 2.2 from Dell) and a complete Android n00b. I followed the instructions on how to root my Streak, and I was was successful, since I have something called SUPERUSER residing in my apps. (Although I have no idea how to use it or what it does . . .)
The only reason I rooted the Streak to begin with is to get rid of some of the crapware that Dell puts on it. For instance, the CoPilot free trial opens up a splash screen and then promptly crashes whenever I try to run it. I was under the impression that after I rooted the device I could just delete the .apk files and these apps would be gone, or that after I rooted them I would be able to uninstall them like other apps. Either this isn't the case, or I didn't succeed with rooting the Streak despite what SuperOneClich said. Whenever I use a file manager to try deleting these, it gives me an error.
Anyway, I would really like to nuke the following apps that are wasting space and driving me mad:
Amazon MP3
Assistant Free
CoPilot <-- I would probably keep it if it worked, but it crashed off the bat
Dell Stage <-- Love the phone, hate the UI
Help for a guy who is over his head would be greatly appreciated.
download Root Explorer from the Market, it will let you access internal sd card so you could erase those programs you want.
Download Titanium backup from the market (free). You can uninstall whatever you like or just freeze it.

Titanium Backup will work great for what you want to do. Just make sure you don't delete anything that you need accidentally.

crotalus9,
Before you make any other changes:
1) If you don't have streakdroid recovery on your phone install it and make a nandroid backup.
2) Copy the /system/app folder somewhere (not on your phone) as a backup. You will need a file explorer that allows root access (I use Root Explorer) or use adb.
Titanium Backup is great. I use the freeze feature to test if removing an app has unforeseen side effects. Some apps provide services that are needed. Read the TB wiki for a lot of info on using Titanium Backup.
I have root access now by using Gingerbreak installed on my optimus sd card so now I need to find the correct procedure to removing them from my command prompt on my computer. What are the steps and then what are the commands to remove apps from my Optimus V ?
thanks in advance
I have found a more automatic way of removing the bloatware. I downloaded root explorer and moved the app files from within the system->app to my sdcard. That way if I ever want to I can move them back.
The guy above me is correct as well but E.S file explorer is a free app with no ads and does everything as root explorer and looks better while doing it.
Click menu enable root settings/mount then long click the app you want to delete
I prefer not to delete but simply "move" to sdcard so that I can bring it back if need be.
or you can use titanium backup
Before you move anything make sure they're safe to remove, as in won't affect other apps. Having a backup won't hurt too. Many apps can uninstall system apps, among them Titanium Backup, Gemini App Manager, Link2SD or file managers with root access such as Root Explorer($), Ghost Commander, ES File Explorer and File Expert.
A safer way is to freeze the bloatware using Titanium Backup Pro($) or Gemini App Manager rather than deleting. You aren't likely to be using the space in system memory anyway.
I like using the Harmonia ROM, but I have an S Screen, so I also use the Xionia Anykernel 14 with a button switcher, so it functions GREAT so far, and none of those crappy preloaded bloatware apps, but if I ever need to get back to the original OS, I can nandroid restore my backups of my old system.
Quick question. I am trying to port several apps that are not on the market anymore from my Rooted SGS Vibrant to my Non-rooted SGS3.
I have tried AppMonster Pro, App2SD Pro, Adao File Manager, and Astro File Manager. I even tried sending the apps to the SD using Titanium backup hoping that another app would "see" the .akp files. So far no luck. Or is my problem that I am trying to send apps from a rooted to non-rooted phone?
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
Make sure your putting it in the right folder what i did was put it on the phones memory then used the file manager that came with the phone to install the app. (note* if the app is something for rooted phones it will still install but it just won't function till root is obtain
Give Me a Thanks if i helped
I have checked the file locations using AppMonster Pro. I'll try it again and see if there are any changes.
