Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advise, I am getting a 2nd Flyer tablet one with 3g this time. But I want to get all the apps from my 1st flyer tablet to the new one... especially the apps I paid for, how can I transfer them?
Can I do this with the HTC sync maybe?
Any ideas or suggestion would be most welcome.
My tablet(s) are not rooted and just using the original android O.S.
Kim
EDIT: is it go to menu > application > manage applications > select the app you want to move > click on the "move to sdcard" button > take the sdcard to new tablet?
If rooted use titanium backup

No the move to SDCARD thing won't work. You can just re-download through the Play Store, even the one's you purchased. Do any of them have critical data you need?

just like this ... use the same Google account on your second Flyer and if everything goes well, Play Store will install the same apps on the second Flyer (the ones you installed manually from non-market sources excluded ofcourse)
Open google play, go to my apps and voila, you have the history of all apps ever installed..

I am about to upgrade from HTC Hero to SGS2 and I wonder what is the best way to migrate my apps (I've got more than 100 installed)?

must you really bring everything across? I look on new phone as a chance to clear out the crap...
Titanium backup perhaps, if you must bring it all over...

That's exactly what I did, although I had to copy all the files from my sd card onto the internal memory for TB to realise there were backups to restore.
@Pulser ... how dare you call my **** crap ;-)
My method when I want to start fresh is backup stuff like astrid to the sd and then backup the sd to save the various data. I use myappslist off the market, it will generate a list of all the apps you have which you can email to yourself. I like to put the barcodes in there so I can just go directly to the app on the market. You can also use plain text or html or a combination. On the new phone I go to the market and download barcode scanner, open up the email I sent myself and start installing the apps onto the phone. If you're like me a couple will be ones I never used but forget to unistall so I skip them. Then I open up my backed up sd and move over the data, ringtones etc. I usually hang onto the backup for a week or so until I'm sure I have all the data moved across and then I delete it and make a backup of the new setup.
I always do this when switching to a new rom or switching to a new phone. In between I use ti.
I am guessing you have a Google account to download apps from market, when you log in to the your new phone with your google account and choose to sync your phone with Google your apps should automatically transfer to your new phone.
You can view and load apps via https://market.android.com/ instead of scrolling through your phone its much easier and when you click 'Install' on the website it will send the app to your phone and install automatically. https://market.android.com/account will show you all your apps.
Thanks a lot, guys!
If you log in with your Google Account on install it will start downloading all your apps from the Market anyway. Just make sure you are on wifi when you do it!
If you want saved game states (Angry Birds), you will need to use Titanium on the old phone to backup the settings and then use it on the new one to restore. (Requires root on both).
Upgraded from a Hero myself, and all my paid-apps were there waiting there in the marketplace. It was however only the paid apps, the free apps I had to install again. I did have a minor hitch getting the phone contacts and SMS off the Hero as there wasnt a batch backup function available, but luckily there are plenty of market apps that can backup and restore your contats and SMS.
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.

Hello Folks! I've been lurking these forums for a few months now, but now it's time to join up! You guys are awesome.
I've got a question relating to the CM10 A2 ROM. Install went smoothly from a fresh SBF/Root/Flash. I got all my applications installed and moved them all to the phone. I have a problem that occurs when connecting the phone to my computer via USB. If I leave it in charge mode, no problem. Upon clicking the option to allow USB Mass Storage, I get quite a few apps that FC. The list is as follows:
sManager
AutomateIt Pro
App Protector Pro
ROM Toolbox Pro
TiBu
I get popup notifications that the apps' processes have stopped and upon going to the app drawer, the icons have been replaced with the Android Robot. The problem persists after disabling mass storage and the apps FC on attempting to launch them. The only thing to fix them seems to be rebooting. I know each of these apps have permission req's that read/write the SD card, is that what is causing the problem? Any way to fix? Thanks a bunch!

Maybe because the apps are installed on your SD card and when you turn on USB storage, it cant display on your phone anymore. Are they installed on your SD card?

That was the first thing I checked and unfortunately they aren't installed on the SD. I moved all my apps to the phone.

I cant think of any other reason why they would stop working in USB mode. Maybe there are certain things they use that are on the SD Card and not necessarily the app itself. It does warn you that some apps will not work when you select USB mode.
IMHO I think it has something to do with the new SD card directory. I've used almost all the ROMs for the x2 including the cm7 and cm9. This seems to only occur with cm10.
Edit: I noticed some of these apps have folders located on the internal SD. I doubt that has changed across ROM's, any idea why it would change with this one?

Alright. So it appears that the problem is caused by a new way the play store distributes paid apps to JB. From reading around in various sites, these apps are sent to the "app-asec" folder as .asec files instead of .apk. When connecting to USB, CM10 seems to go through some internal trouble (i.e. lots of screen flickering/redrawing and sometimes it seems to soft reboot). My theory is that how the play store is installing is causing the issues app developers are seeing. The app is attempting to start before the app-asec folder is mounted, causing FC's.
Edit: Other users have reported a workaround that if you restore the apps with TiBu or something similar it places the actual .apk file in the correct directory. The issue only seems to affect paid apps installed by the play store.

Sorry to keep posting on my own thread, but I've found a workaround. This also seems to have fixed the launcher redraws and screen flickering I mentioned above.
Navigate to the /data/app-sec folder
Make note of all the apps installed there as .asec files.
Using your backup program of choice (I used TiBu for the majority and ROM Toolbox so I could backup TiBu), backup all the apps you found.
Uninstall the previously mentioned apps.
Restore using the same backup program(s).
Go back to the /data/app-sec folder and verify that all the files are gone.
Go to /data/app folder and you should see the .apk's from the restored apps.
Hope this helps someone else!

Good to see you figured it out and also, good find. I noticed plugging in my device as USB and having it "soft reboot". Lately I haven't had the issue happen again. Your theory makes sense now since there is one app in that location and it is a theme I was using but lately, have not been. Ill move it as you suggested.
I am planning to buy a new phone, maybe LG G3, so a new phone and new kitkat 4.4.2 system to me, I am using Galaxy Note 1 currently. Can anyone suggests a utility app or any app that have all these function? I am using a Chinese app called 360 Dashi at the moment but I don't want to use this anymore, but I didn't find other apps that contain all these function:
1. Delete app cache
2. Free RAM
3. Search & delete empty folders
4. Search & clean leftovers after uninstalling apps
5. Manage app on or off when switch on phone (e.g. I don't want WhatsApp and Google Play "open" when I switch on my phone, which means they will start only when I open it manually)
You can say that I want a cleaning app, something like that, but must contain all those functions. Thanks in advance!

SD Maid looks good but it can't free RAM and set apps on and off... Clean master may be able to free RAM but also can't set apps off in booting... Any suggestions?

I have also installed Autostarts (root required!!) or Manage Autostats (again, root required!!). Autostarts lets you disable all autostarts of apps, e.g. after boot complete or any other received receiver.

Which one would you recommend and what is the difference between two apps?

I would suggest Autostarts, as this app is able to switch off all auto-startup receivers for your apps, e.g. the BOOT_COMPLETE receiver, which indicates that boot is completed. But not all apps are receiving this one, there are several other receivers like EXTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNTED, indicating that an external storage, for example an SD card, has been mounted - this one will also result in autostart of apps after boot. Quite sad that there is no trial version, but you might give ROM Toolbox a try, it has the same functionality included, at least in its Pro version, but I don't know if the Startup options are available in the free version. If you have Xposed, you can use ReceiverStop for free.
I have a HTC One M7 phone which i have a buyer for. I will be getting the new Samsung S6 in the next few weeks. In the mean time i will be using an old nokia phone.
How should i transfer the 50+ apps i have (free/paid) to a new phone ?
Should i just make a note of all the apps i have on a piece of paper then download again ? would i need to buy some of them again ? i.e whatsapp
I have noticed on google play from my computer browser that its got my apps on there, would it be easy to do it from there ?
Hi, in Google play, my apps, all u have all the apps you've installed, so u can install them again, no problem.
Astro File Manager lets you backup apps to sd card
You can download My App Sharer from google playstore which can send all apps from one device to another.It also backups all apps in storage.
Hope it helps !!!!!
