Hey guys ,
I had to factory reset my v10 to get away with few issue. But i forget to save some files on external sd before i format. Now its on those lbf file and i dont want to go all process again ( restore ,take file, reformat, install all apps again ). So is there any way to extract those files from all those lbf ?
I read on google and some people says winrar does that but it doesnt even show that option !!!

Anyone have any experience with the vaulty app to hide pictures and videos.
A bunch of my vaulted images got deleted and I used recuva to recover all the files, but they are like vdata files and jpg that I cant view, any idea which folders they belong so i can put them on my phone.
My secure file apps just add a file extenison after the file type
Example: customer.jpeg.pandora
Make a copy of the pic...then try renaming it with only. Jpeg or whatever on the end
Bet it works

I finally got it too work, your way did work.
I also found out that I had to move all the files from sd card over to internal for them to show up in my phone instead of renaming all of them.
Thanks for the help.
can you tell me pls where was your files located???
i cant seem to find those..
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

Hi
I'm looking for an easy way to batch install all of my already backed up applications on external SD (in *.apk format) after new rom flashing. My phone is rooted (running RR 2.7). what if using a root explorer I just copy all the apk files to data\app and copy some of them to system\app and then reboot the phone? Will all of these application be automatically installed, while apk's copied to data\app will be installed as user apps, and those copied to system\app will install as system apps? Will this work? Is there a problem in this method? If so I may create a CWM based installer that will do this automatically...
I'm talking about 400 apps, about 600MB in total size//
Thanks
How are they backed up? What did you use to do it? I use Titanium Backup. The paid version allows batch operations.

I used an app called File expert. It can simply find the apk file used in the installation and back it up. I can reinstall the app with the backed up apk. I also tried copying a new apk file to data/app and after restarting the app did install correctly. So I want to use this method to restore all of my apps automatically by creating a CWM zip installation. I need to know if this method is safe and will not cause problems...
Thanks

No need to do any of that crap and mess around. Just use Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) and you can backup all your apps plus the app data so they keep all their settings etc. Then when you install a new rom you can batch install them all back in couple of clicks.

Don't know that app. You can define the backup folder in TiBu to reinstall your apps that way. Or iirc Rom Toolbox will take a batch of apps and create a cwm zip file to batch install.

Using CWM zip installation is actually the best method. It is safe and faster too.
Thanks. I'm familiar with TB and MB. I do not need to restore the app's data. I'm just looking for a way to install all my market apps without actually using the market. I noticed that when you reboot the phone, any new apk file in either system/app or data/app gets installed automatically. So I thought maybe I take a CWM setup file (zip with simple copy to system + data updater-script)' and add all of my backed apk's into the data/app directory then I can install this zip file right after I flash a new rom file. For some reason, CM9 recommends that you do not use TB. I also noticed that dev's use this method to add additional apps to their rom.. I just need to know that this method is ok to use and not cause problems like acquire extra space by creating duplicates of each app (I notice using this method that sometime the original apk I copied was reset to a 0Kb file, and a new apk that starts with the name "com.something.something.apk" is created instead. Is this normal?)
Thanks

I'll help you create a CWM zip template. I'll upload it in about 3 hrs time as soon as i get to my pc
This is a CWM.zip I created for you.
How to:
1. Open the zip file using 7zip, winrar or similar apps (don't extract it)
2. Copy your users apps to data/app, and copy system apps to system/app
3. Close the zip file.
4. Flash the zip file via CWM recovery.
enjoy.

Thanks Mate!
tested it with a few apps and it worked great. Is there a file size limitation to cwm.zip? If I add all my apps the zip files grows to about 350MB
Thx

Hello, i'll try to explain what's my problem in the best way... sorry for my english...
I used Airdroid to transfer 2 songs downloaded from iTunes from pc to my Vodafone Galaxy S3. I save those 2 songs in sdcard0/mnt/extSdCard/media (now Airdroid can't see sdcard with Android 4.1.2) and than i move in extsdcard but songs in sdcard0/mnt/extSdCard/media still exist so i try to delete manually in a lot of way but i can't.
If i copy this files in sdcard0, but in other folders inside sdcard0, i am able to delete files but not in sdcard0/mnt/extSdCard/media.
I've create a New folder in mnt/extSdCard and also this folder now it's impossible to erase.
I've try with stock file manager, with x-plore and also from pc but nothing.
I would like to delete this files without wipe and root, i think it's an app that cause this little but very annoying problem.
I hope someone of you can help me.
Have a nice week end.
One its in the wrong forum its a question = Q&A
Two . You dont want wipe or root = no chance if you have failed to delete it .
Three
Choices Factory reset wiping data or rooted phone using root explorer or Android Commander .
But it is very difficult to understand your problem from your post .
jje
Thanks for reply... It's difficult to understand my problem for my English or other?
If need explanation tell me...

I installed Easy Unrar, Unzip & Zip from Goolge play to unzip a zip folder on my phone. It didn't work at all, besides, it created a folder (with strange character name) which can not be deleted. It's 0 byte, can be opened but is empty. Can not create anything inside. I tried deleting with Astro file manager, nothing happened, the folder still there. I tried deleting from my PC, it said the 'Cannot delete the folder. Storage is protected. Remove the write-protection and try again'. The strange folder is on my internal memory. I don't have a memory card installed. Please help.
I can delete any other things on my phone. The file name of the zip I tried to unzip is not English, which I suspect might be the problem?

ive encountered this too. can someone help us or did you already fix this? I think it has a chinese character like.apk but when you open. it opens as if it was a folder. but you cannot delete, rename, move or copy. even through desktop operations failed. and also its shows the date accessed in a year 1970. i tried to edit my date settings hoping that I might delete it but this note 2 has a minimum of year 2000. help thanks
Try to install clean master and open it. Press junk file and standard. Allow it to scan. It shld have a residual folders place. Just scan it with standard and advanced. See if it is still thr. Btw. U can unzip zip files with File Expert.
