When you install non system apps, like tbu, where is the apk stored. It isn't system/app?

Its stored in the /data partition.....but when restoring apps with TiBu, it will restore them to wherever it was when you backed it up.

And to further detail that, that name of the apk will usually be:
com.(developer).(app name).apk
The icons should be the same, that makes it easier to find.

Thanks, found them. I've been trying to change the icons them. They say it can't be done. A challenge.

Just wanted to add if the apps are stored on the SD card you will find them in /mnt/asec

Although your post has nothing to do with dafoxs's OP question I just wanted to let you know your info is wrong. Titanium Backup will restore the application to the default location chosen by Android. If you move a phone app to the sd card, TB by default will restore the app to the phone. There is a setting in TB to set the restore location for apps. You need to select it.

But... if you back up an app that is in /system/app it will in fact restore it to /system/app
Which is what i believe he meant.

Edward Cullen, no offense but that was a n00b statement. If he installed it by himself it cannot be a system application. Also, the file of any app (even user app) is available in /data/app
AND, rooted or not, the app Explorer by Speed Software allows you access to those system files. Only difference is that you cannot write, but you can find the file and COPY (not move) to /sdcard.

Batch App installer

I would be surprised if this wasn't already created but has anyone thought of a App that would work with google plays application list to install multiple apps at once? I think this would be Genius especially for those that fresh install a ROM every 3-4 updates. I find myself spending about an hour just installing all of my applications again.
I use titanium backup for that
Sent from my Samsung-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Does it backup the data to the SD card? Because if you wipe everything on the phone, essentilay the app data from titanium would get removed as well and then your screwed again ahhaa

I moved my NFL game with GL to SD..
Then I copied the file (500mb) to my computer.
And then I flash a new rom. And the backup that I had created was deleted.
So I moved the file from my computer to his original place Instead of the file that was there.
But.. still I don't have my saves.
And it's really important to me.
Anyone can help? How can I restore my saves?

The 500mb might only be the games data (downloaded when you install the game) without save game?
