I have a drop box acct. Can I back up straight to DB or do I need another app to make that happen?
Is there a better way than Drop Box?

You can then link it to a folder in your dropbox using the PC dropbox client.
As well I think my backup root can do a backup to the cloud if you register a login.

Are you trying to back up a handful of apk's or the whole rom?
If you just one or two apk's and you have root, use a file manager to copy the .apk to your internal storage or sd card then you can upload them in the dropbox app.
If you want the whole rom, check out Orange Backup, you can schedule auto backups and have them uploaded to your dropbox account automatically.
If you just want to back up apps to your ext sd card AppMonster Pro is great. It can automatically back them up when you download them. Then when you want to restore them you can install either from AppMonster or from Market, it asks you. It's really easy on the eyes finding an app you want to install from your back up and you always have all the ones you've downloaded. It's helped me go back to an older version of an app several times.

Can I remove them some how?i have root explorer so can I just go to system/app and delete them?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you have rooted your phone, you can do it with Titanium Backup. Just be extremely careful what you delete. I believe there is a list of safe things to delete floating around on the Cyanogen mod forum. Shouldn't be hard to find with inspector Google.
Bloatware would be anything that is not a stock android apk. Be careful not to delete anything that has to do with google or you will be sorry. I forgot the url but there is a master list of all the apks you can delete. Just google "android apk stock list"

Its probably best to just move the apks into a separate folder on your sd card rather than deleting them. The that way if you mess up you can just move it back into the correct directory. Or if you change your mind.

to the OP, I gave instructions in the sticky if you want something to reference. I agree with ^, I used Root Explorer to copy all of the files and then pasted them in a folder on my SD card. Then went back to system apps and deleted them, rebooted, good to go. I also gave a list of everything that could be deleted.

Hey guys Im sorry if this is not supposed to be here, But I really need some advice.
I just recently bought a SGS2 in Canada with Bell Mobility and I was able to root my phone so that I could unlocked it. However Since I did this every time I turn on my phone I get a Yellow Triangle with and exclamation mark. and also this mark is on the top left corner of my home screen but very tiny. Now the phone works like a charm nothing is wrong, but I want to know if there is some way I can remove that from my power up screen and from the home screen?
And my last questions would be, Now that I have unlocked my phone can I unroot it? or will this locked my phone again?
Thanks .

+1 Op this is probably the best way to do it. Plus if you ever need to put the apks back, all you got to do is move them back, wipe dex and cache and reboot.
One thing that I usually do is use TBPro to freeze it first and see if there are any adverse effects. Did you know that gTalk works with the market? If you delete gTalk, you may see some wierdness with the market. If you just froze it, then you can thaw it out and move on.
My question is can we delete the odex files singly or do they have to be deleted in pairs with the apk?
So I purchased titanium back up cause I planned on experimenting.. I wanted to see if I could delete stock apps then restore them back to normal. The back up worked but the restore file isn't in apk. format where I found it. I deleted quadrapop nothing to die over but can some one explain how titanium works? does it only back up data and if so why is there an app backup option. Oh and how can I get quadrapop apk. My kid brother is gonna kill me. Thanks.

I don't know how you will get the game back but instead of deleting them you have the option to freeze them. I do this when i'm not sure if deleting will poo up the phone. It's easy to un freeze the apps (defrost !) But i've never seen the option to have apps back once you've uninstalled them.
You could run the phone through seus of course and put the phone back to it's original state

No making it master reset won't get the game back you have to reformat (repair)phone OS again. but search for APK first.
I figured searching for the apk would be the best idea , and thanks ill just freeze aps instead of delete, seems allot safer. I've been searching all day for the apk. With no results, is it some where here on xda

Bump, does freezing the app free space in the system app folder or just disable its services.

I could be wrong but even when i deleted moxier i didn't see a rise in phone memory so i doubt freezing them will change anything.

Hey all,
So awhile back I "froze" most of the bloatware (they were highlighted with a blue background)
Recently I tried to "defrost" them (returned to black background) and I checked my app drawer and sure enough the were all there...
However, after turning my phone off, and back on... they are now all MISSING from my app drawer! To make matters worse, they all have the black background so I don't know which apps I am missing.
This happens consistently, I can re-freeze and re-defrost all the apps and they will appear in my app drawer, until I turn my phone off.. then the go missing again..
ANY THOUGHTS?
THANKS!!
When u uninstall stock apps like quadrapop you can only get them back by putting the apk file into the phone mem and installing from there. In the android dev section theres a thread where someone posted a zip file with all the stock system apps you can download.
Once you have the apk u want u need a file manager with super user grant like root explorer or android mate, use it to put the apk file in phone mem in system/app and install it from there
I'm pretty new to titanium backup as well and this is how I got back calendar back, good luck

Quadrapop is available for free from PlayNow
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.

Is there a way to remove market links without ti backup pro?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
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).

How can I back up everything on my phone, settings, email accounts, apps, ringtone and notification settings, music, etc..etc... and then restore them to the new phone?
I use my backup pro. There are many apps that can do this. I've used this app for a while and it works flawless. I recommend saving your back up on to your ext micro sd cards. So you won't loose your back up on the wipe. Once restored, go to the app store download my backup pro and restore.

If you use mybackup pro and have root, it'll backup to your SD card and then you just copy to your comp. It goes in a folder called reware I think it was.
Then put it back and restore on the new phone.

Hi, your paid Google Play Apps are saved on your Google Accout so you can reinstall them everytime you want, of course on a new Phone too if logg in with your Google Account.
If you want to download the APK files to your Computer you have to root your phone and save the apps with titanium backup as far as i know.

Hi, I've never downloaded paid apps but all the apks of apps I downloaded from the play store are in the /system/app/ directory. I'm not sure if you need root access to get there. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Yes you need to be root to able to get aPKs from phone. Android tools, with adb, will helped. Just rembemr, APK you bougth is not yours, its illegal to give them to somebody else or try to reverse engenering them.
JHelp
Not /system/app as this is read only rather /data/app for many apps
Most paid apps go to
/data/app-asec
Unless you are running some real old android versions
And just so you know there is some trickery needed to copy them from here but being its not cool to do so and if distributed its called warez, I'm not going to explain how if that's what youre after

Of course you can, you're rooted. I believe the op was curious where apps go when downloaded from play store and I was just saying that none of them go to /system/anything as this is 'normally' a read only partition. They go straight to /data/app most of the time and paid mostly goes to /data/app-asec
