Andoid Desktop Manager? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 and I am going to buy the Nexus 7 16 tablet. I want a desktop manager, I am sick of dragging and dropping my movies and apps, ect.. also I plan to root the Nexus 7 and my phone is already rooted, so I was woundering if their was one with Titanium Backup compatibility for my backups.
I already have google play music manager for my music, but I want something also for offline usage. I have heard of Mobisynapse but I don't know if that is the right one for me.
Thanks.

[Q] share a tablet device

Hey,
Has anyone worked out any decent solution for sharing a transformer prime with other people? I.e., I want to be able to have multi user functionality, and be able to log in with my account and have access to all my data, and then allow my girlfriend to log into her account and then have access to her data.
Is there any solution in terms of apps or custom mods to accomplish this?
I believe that Titanium Backup has some facilities for that but in general, Android has yet to mature very well for it. Some apps have a bit of support for multiple accounts, mostly Google apps.

Yeah I see that but it's not an ideal solution - even the google apps don't work well as all notifications will come through and I have to manually change which user is logged in for every app (in some, like google+, I then have to specify every time whether to sync contacts, etc)
Titanium backup is the right idea, you could theoretically script it so you "log in" as one user and it will automatically backup every app and then restore the other user's backup. A cumbersome and slow way of doing it...
There's no home grown solution (say by creating symbolic links for every app data directory which can be swapped out)? If not, maybe it's time to give android development a go...
For that idea if you try it, you should be able to kill any running associated running processes using ps/kill, before twiddling symlinks,
E..g kill dropbox, swap links, ....
What is really needed is evolution of apps and OS lol

Idk if you're subscripted to this thread or not, but I saw this over lunch and thought of this thread. You might want to play with it: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-android-profiles-on-a-single-rooted-device/
Yes, try SwitchMe just new in the Market. Requires root but does exactly what you want.

Install all apps at once

Hi!
Any way of having my Galaxy Nexus automatically start downloading my favorite apps from Market when I format my phone.
I have millions of apps and it takes always so much time to download them again. For example If I change rom its annoying to start installing all the needed apps when I t could easily just load the basic software automatically.
Somehow last time my phone did download BeautifulWidgets without my "permission" from the market and installed it.
So any possibilities to make this happen?

That is google backup feature. It will download all your preveously purchased app only.
I would rather suggest to buy Titanium Backup Pro. Damn good for app backup and restore in batch mode. Good filtering . You can even set the location of your app .
You need root permission to run it. But trust me it will be worth purchase...
You can always use MyBackup Root...is free is efficient and can also backup sms mms system settings etc

Seconded, I am a frequent flasher running a nightly ROM, so I live by Titanium Backup. The paid version allows for an express, confirmation free batch restore. Just set it, leave it, then once it's finished, reboot it.

I agree, Titanium Backup is the finest of its league. It'll cost you some money, but its totally worth it.
If you just want the apps use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314443
It also has a ton of other features, but it makes a flashable backup of all your apps then just flash the zip file and all your apps are back. It's much quicker than titanium but i use titanium for data. Best of all its free...
Hello and sorry for taking so much to answer but my Firefox lost all my tabs and I didn't remember this after that.
Okkay so thanks for the answer but those are backup software :/
I know how to backup but I would like it to work different.
Like for instance now I just got back to stock because wanted to see if I can update to 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 but sadly wasn't able.
So now I am probably gonna go to AOKP and after that is installed I need to once again install that big list of apps and its really slow downloading the one at a time from the market.
So I would like to have some way that I have list of programs I want and a software would get the apps from the market for me so I don't really need to do anything.

What you're wanting is much more time consuming and less efficient than the suggestions posted here. Your data wouldn't be restored, so you would have to setup the apps again anyway. You'd have to wait for the market to try to download all of those apps at once, which takes longer than restoring. And there are already apps out there that do what you want to do, the apps just aren't redownloaded from the market. Titanium Backup has other features too, and really helps with clean installs.
I don't think that what you want exists, aside from the built in Google backup. If you'd rather keep doing what you're doing instead of using backup/restore software, it's your time to waste.

Any way to sync game save data across 2 devices?

I have my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and my Asus Transformer Prime, and I generally have the same games on both, and I just wondered if there was a method / app to sync saved data / progress between my devices so I could pick up one one device where I left off on the other?
Cheers

Titanium Backup and Dropbox sync should do the trick
I’ve used Titanium Backup for exactly this over a couple of device changes, most recently to my shiny new Transformer Prime. It’s worked perfectly for all games I play except Paradise Island, the game data restored successfully and I can do almost everything except use any of the network features. Although I was registered it now tells me I am not but will not let me sign up again because it has restored my existing profile….. So it half thinks I’m registered… Oh well, as I said it has worked a treat for everything else.
OK maybe I am being really stupid, but I can't seem to figure out how to upload my backups to Dropbox?
Also, is there a way to do this auto-magically whenever I play something?
Can this be used without Root? I have Titanium Backup Pro on my phone (fully rooted etc) can I still copy my game saves onto my stock unrooted prime? Mainly Deadspace, I just completed it and want to play again on newgame+
I saw on Android Police that the app "DataSync" came out I think last week. It requires root and busybox.

I haven't used it but it looks easier to use then TB.

No Titanium Backup won't work unless you root your Prime too. I don't know about dropbox, I've never used it because TB does all I need to do.

Yeah that works great, its not automatic, but seems to work quite well!!
For some games you can transfer the save file saved on your sd card, so root won't be necessary. However it will be annoying to do everytime you want to play between twwo devices.
SaveShare is another app very similar to DataSync that doesn't require root (though the syncing of some games' files do require root). I'm curious to hear people's impressions who have used both.
Typically, the only game which I want to sync across devices (Where's My Water?) needs root - but none of my devices are rooted
To throw another option into the mix, I've recently developed the app 'GameSync' for this purpose. It also requires root and is more focused on the game side of things, unlike DataSync. As a result, it offers 'automatic synchronization' where possible, keeping the tablet and phone in sync without interaction.

Uninstall TF201 ASUS bloat ware?

Just rooted my device.
Was wondering how safe is it to delete apps that I do not use, bloatware from ASUS.
Can I (uninstall) delete these safely (using Titanium backup):
1. Amazon Kindle
2. App Backup
3. App Locker
4. File Manager
5. Glowball
6. My Cloud
7. My Library
8. My Net
9. Polaris Office
10. Net Reader
11. SuperNote
12. Webstorage
Thanks for reading
Yes its safe to delete those apps but I would make sure you have recovery and back up your full stock rom first in fact most of the custom roms have all those apps removed.

I would strongly consider keeping some of those apps.
For instance Polaris Office is a really good office suite for Android. My Cloud gives you a full copy of Splashtop Remote Desktop which is one of the easiest remote desktop apps currently available on Android. Both of these are very useful apps which might come in handy someday. Unless you are running out of space on your Prime I would leave them alone.
What is your point ?
Those apps are not 'system' apps in the real sense (they are system only because they are part of the ROM and installed in /system/app) you can remove them like you would remove any user app.
Keep the backup files in Titanium, as some of those apps can't be found easily elsewhere.
Many android users would like to have Polaris I agree. Same for My Cloud.
I do have Office Suit Pro already.... that's why I am thinking off getting rid of Polaris..

When you decide to unlock and install a custom Rom, you're really going to like wookies rom with aroma installer which let's you install without these apps.

Or if you are rooted (which I assume he is since we are having this conversation) just get titanium backup and freeze the apps you don't want. No that does not save space on the device, but deleting them to save space is a waste of time. With all of the "bloat ware" in place, my 32GB prime still has over 25 GB free even after installing all the other apps I use including Chrome and it's cache. So space is not really an issue. Freezing them will keep them from actually running which is my real goal.
Also, if you do start tinkering with system apps, the ability to freeze rather than delete is critical. I found this out while playing around with my droid 3. I figured since i was using google voice for my voice mail, I did not need the built in voicemail - only to discover that freezing it killed the dialer too. Likewise when I froze the built in music player, it caused the third party music player app I use to quit working - I have no clue why, but is sure was nice to be able to go back in and just unfreeze as needed.
You h:e a point about freezing. I noticed if you got rid of built in Gallery app... ie delete it... I am unable to apply any images as wallpapers...

Hi,
You might consider using ROM CLEANER
A great program that will clear all the [email protected] off your system in one go.
i wrote an article about how to get your TF201 as clost to pure as possible
Sorry if this is considered self promotion but it should be helpful heres the link http://www.mikeyb2001.com/2013/07/how-to-get-near-perfect-nexus.html
Helpful, but the same could have been achieved without that guide lol
gee thanks jerk

Bloatware help!

Hello, i asked this question over at the Tab S6 but haven’t gotten any replies so I thought i would ask here since its a newer device.
I want to be able to uninstall apps that come pres-installed on the tab and would like a list, if possible, of apps that i can safely uninstall without affecting the tab itself. I would not be using a lot of the apps so i want to free up as much storage and ram as possible. That only thing I will be using the tab for is:
Lightroom, photoshop, snapseed, Facebook, instagram, Flipboard, youtube, firefox browser, file manager and Google play to download mentioned apps and keep them updated.
I would be using ADB to remove unwanted apps, i dont want to root my tab as i want to be able to perform future updates.
Thanks in advance.
Enable USB debugging.
check apps ids from app info , for an example "com.google.youtube"
wirte all of them on plain paper.
then
Use ADB with correct command.
