[Q] How to transfer applications between phones

I bought a new phone(nexus s) and i wanna know how can i transfer all the applications i have on it with the progress on them from my x10 to the nexus s.(i.e. transfer the progress from angry birds)
From what i understand i can make a backup with mybackuppro and copy paste the file backup from one phone to another.Will it work?Or there are files connected to the phone and it will not work?
Easiest way is to root x10 & nexus s, and install titanium backup.
BTW I think the method you said also will work

I made a program (for windows) that copies all of the applications and the data (progress in games etc.) to your PC (works only for data on internal memory). After that You will propably have to paste the files to Your nexus manually (because of other OS structure = requires a root).
You can take a look for this tool here
Or You can copy all of the files (from X10) from /data/app & /data/data to Your nexus

Where does android store contact photos ?

Hi guys ... Well I want to export all the contact photos Android is currently storing for all my 'Phone' contacts ..
Does anyone know where Android stores all contact photos/images ?
I'm currently running a Sense 3.6 ROM (Virtuous Affinity) on my Desire Z ..
Well I could not find them anywhere on the SD card, but I did find another solution to this, which can work until something better comes along:
1) Download and install Titanium Backup
2) Open Titanium Backup, and create a backup of the Contacts app
3) Open the SD card on your PC, and then open the 'TitaniumBackup' folder
4) Find your backup here .. if its date sorted, find the backup that was created most recently maybe ..
5) Open the TAR file in WinRAR, and then open the 'files' folder inside the TAR file
6) All associated contact images should be here now ..
Please 'Thank' this post if this helped you out

Sony Xperia J Problem Please Help!!! :(

I have a Sony Xperia J, and the performance and among others are excellent, but I have a problem due to my own stupidity in using others product memory card loader and screw-up the whole system.
Basically I didn't brick my device it still boot perfectly but the problem is, after boot-up it will shows the error message "Unfortunately, com.sonyericsson.usbux has stopped" = PC can't recognize my device anymor and my device won't recognize the internal and external card anymore.
Is there anyone can help me step by step on how to edit the '\system\ect\vold.fstab' and replace the content of that file, then I think this will solve the problem.
The problem arise when I replaced the file '\system\ect\vold.fstab' with froyo edited version.
Thanks in advance,
Aavatar(a.k.a. Paul Tsen)
You should try replacing the vold.fstab with the stock one. Extract it from a stock ftf for your phone

I have the stock vold.fstab, I've backed up but I can't replace the file cause the \System\ect\ folder are read only and I can't even copy the stock vold.fstab into my device. Any suggestion on how to copy the stock vold.fstab back to the \system\ect\?
Thanks in advance.
I Have the Same Problem......
Hi i have the same problem, and im advance in the solution first you have to search the app "SOLID EXPLORER" this app lets you make modifications even if the folder is in "read-only mode" now you can modify the vold.fstab file, im stuck here because i dont know how to code the file, so please help me to find the solution.

For your info 'SOLID EXPLORER' does not have any root access and cannot edit protected folder file so can't do anything, but anyhow I've send back my device to Sony Center for RMA and just get back a new replacement, thanks for the reply anyway.
For an advice, next time anyone that wanted to edit or replace the vold.fstab file, copy to root and rename it to vold.fstab.bak so that if you screw up you still can use the root explorer to copy it back to the /system/ect/ folder.

Now I have a much safer solution for this, I use 2 apps(DirectoryBind and Link2SD both need root access) in order to achieve everything.
1. Partition your External SD Card for use with Link2SD(for my case I'm using a 16gb Class 10 SD Card 1st partition takes whatever space and
leave 1gb for 2nd Partition Primary and format = FAT32)
2. Install Link2SD(from PlayStore) and assign the 2nd partition(make sure you have root access).
3. Check the Auto Link in Link2SD Preference
4. Select External in Install Location(Link2SD)
5. Install DirectoryBind,
6. Create a folder name Bind(or whatever you like to call it) for placing all the bind folders.
7. Create a another folder called 'android' inside 'Bind' folder eg:- /Bind/android/ (for PlayStore Apps Data)
8. Create another folder called 'Gameloft' (if you intended to install gameloft games) and create another 'Gameloft' folder in Internal Storage
9. Now add the External SD Card /Bind/android/ to Source (Data) Path at DirectoryBind and Internal Storage Android /SDCard/android/ to
Mount (target) path, check the 'Transfer files from target to data' (if the source android folder isn't empty) and press Add.
10. Do step 9 with Gameloft folder
11. Select Bind all checked to activate
12. Do the same step 9 for all others apps that create own forlder in internal storage such as Sygic create 'Aura' Folder in your internal storage.
Now you are done and any apps from Playstore or Gameloft the default apps will be linked(placed) in Ext SD Card 2nd partition and Data to Ext SD Card Bind folder
Have fun!!!!!
Sony Xperia J Widgets Removing Problems
I have experienced an hair splitting problem to remove short cuts and widgets from Home screen.
The herculean task never shown any results so far. If this gadget is meant for only computer wizards
why the hell the sell it for the common man ! This is impossible for any user. Only the creator can
solve the entangled knots. They should not have sent this model to show cases for public. Please
help if any egg- head can solve it...

But you answered your question yourself, you need to put the .OBB file in android\data\obb folder of your phone memory, and best use a computer to do this, or ES files explorer

I cannot copy .obb file from my pc to that directory,he gave me an error like i dont have permision(i have rooted my phone)
I tried to copy with file manager from sd card to that directory and said that is already one file with that name already...:crying:
Obb files are placed in Android/obb in internal memory (or sdcard if your phone has one).

ASEC containers are partition images anyway, if you have the actual app already installed move it back to /data using Link2SD then it will have files in the standard locations (/data/app, /data/data, /sdcard/Android)... but then OBB always goes to media partition IIRC

I haven't tried asphalt, but if the app was dl'd through play store, shouldn't the obb file be already in the correct location? (sdcard/Android/(file folder)/.obb file)? Now I understand op is trying to move files from PC to phone. Even if he moved the apk to /data/app or install it the location of the .obb file will not change. Regardless of the apk being installed or not, unless he downloads it through the app, which is not the case. He needs to copy it in the correct location.
