tried using helium backup app on the non rotted phone by using desktop app to first connect.
on the phone it just asks for ptp mode, and when changing to that the app crashes. Helium works on a mediatek watch and nexus 4 with cm13.
anyone got it working?
ok, got helium to work on non rooted phone.
Had to use mtk droid tools, and when connected the authenticate message appeared on the phone. After ticking that the helium app worked.
So try:- Apps Backup & Restore 2016

Well I installed Helium without any success; so I wrote to Helium saying:- “I am directed to go to my PC and your Application backup Web page where it states "Windows users will also need the Android Windows Drivers." however when I go to the drivers page, there are many phones drivers but not any for the Elephone? So does this mean I cannot use Helium with my phone?
I never got anything back from them other than an automated reply. Also Playstore reviews make this App look garbage as well.
.
So I looked for an alternative and found: ‘Apps Backup & Restore 2016’ by Utility Top Apps. This for me and my non-rooted P9000 work just fine no issues at all, make B/ups on phone then copy over to PC or wherever, I have tested it by totality deleting one of my treasured Apps and this then restored the App with no issues what so ever. OK it don’t include the settings that you may have applied to you Apps, and you get a pop-up Add when backing up but its Free and don’t want Root, so this App is perfect . . . or am I missing something here?
I did get helium to work after some time, mainly for data restore. Another app for backup is mybackup to google drive.
I use titanium on the nexus, but on a new phone I will use it non rooted for a while before messing with it.

Ok not sure the best way to explain this but here goes
I installed the Sky+ app on my wildfire when i first got the phone. Using App monster i made a back up of the app into an APK and copied the APK to my pc for safe keeping. I tried several custom roms but i have gone back to wild puzzle.
installed Sky+ again on my phone, but this time i did it through a file manager using the apk file and the app works fine.
Now when i go into the market,it doesn't recognize that Sky+ is already installed. it says i can install Sky+.
I have tried titanium backup, but it sent my phone into a boot loop, so i'm going to read up on that a bit more before i mess around with that app again lol
Can anyone help or suggest something please. this happens with all the apps i have installed from APKs
Thanks for reading (and sorry its long)

You probably won't be able to restore market links. I have no idea why titanium backup led you to a bootloop, it's one of the most brilliant pieces of software I've ever used. Try it again. It can restore market links.
yeh i can see it being one of the best apps out there, i just need to do some more reading (im still fairly new to all this)
Hi all!
I am searching an application that allows me to backup the .apk files of both user and system applications like AppWererabbit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196069&page=4). The problem is that i need this app to be compatible with android versions below 4.0, i.e. android 2.3.X.
I have already installed titanium backup on my phone, but i miss the ability to set an automatic .apk backup when each system/user app is updated. I think that to keep .apk files of older versions of the same app could be usefull. Anyone has some suggestion, please?
Have you tried using helium?

I have searched for this app in the google play store, but it says the app is only compatible with android 4.0 and above. So, it doesn't work for me.

Thanks for your reply but, as i have already mentioned in the first post of the thread, i have already have TB. Since TB is "THE" backup application, i have searched through the settings but i did not find the ability to set an automatic app backup when app is updated. If you are saying that such an option is available in TB, please tell me how to find it. Thanks.

I personally use ES File Explorer to backup my apps. Theres an option to backup app data too but thats only for rooted phones. But I'm not sure if it'll work on Android versions below 4.0

As file manager i do usually use ES, but i didn't know it had such a function. You can schedule app backups with ES?
I don't think you can do that.

That is the problem. I searched through the option of ES File Manager but i did not find such a feature. The ability to schedule the app backup (as well as the ability to set an auto-backup when updating) is essential to me.
I have just flashed linage OS 15.1 (Based on Oreo) on my one plus 2 and i have installed titanium backup again and selected my backup folder and hit batch restore all apps and data but it just freezes on 0%
i have managed to get it to restore 2 apps or so by messing with the settings and then it just does the same again and freezes.
Could this be a root issue? i noticed that when i installed super SU through TWRP and booted to the system it wasn't installing the super SU manager app i had to manually download it from the play-store, i had also installed root checker and everything comes up OK.
Also i have tried indirect mode in the tibu settings and it still freezes, the only way it works is in interactive mode but that takes forever to click install that many times.
Busy box is installed
Super su is installed (might be the issue)
verify over usb is unticked
USB debugging is on
also i have turned off google play protect but i have a good idea that its something to do with that could be causing the issue
Im stuck with what to try next if anyone has any ideas let me know im lost here :good:
I'm curious about this as well. I had this issue on my old note 4 the other day. Only thing I found on Google is to deselect a Google security option that scans apps. It might work for you. It didn't for me.
I'm actually wanted to play with my Nexus as well after a long time. So this will be interesting if I will have the same issue.

Hello,
did you tried magisk instead super su? Did the root pop up came up on titanium backup start? Is root granted within supersu app for titanium backup if not granted on titanium backup start?
There's a dedicated thread for those questions :good: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159
I'm having the same issue. Did anyone find a solution?

I recently upgraded from an Android 7 phone (Moto G5) to an Android 9 phone (Moto G7). I like to back up all of my apps that I plan on using in the future, using a backup app like ML Manager, and installing them locally with a file browser, like FX. On my new phone, there are some APK backups that I can't install from a file browser; even if I actually download them though the Google Play Store, back them up, uninstall them, and then try to install that backup on the same phone, it won't work. Not every app does this, and at first, I thought it was only paid apps that were giving me problems, so I chalked it up to DRM, but a bunch of free apps won't work, either.
I've tried alternate methods of installation, too, like using a terminal emulator (see the screenshot, using the app Manual Camera as an example), and ADB on a PC, which results in an INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE error. I've searched for this error and followed directions, like disabling Play Protect (which I never enabled on this phone, anyway), but nothing works. Is this just how Android is now? Did something change so that it's harder to install backups? I tried all of this on my wife's phone, too, which also runs Android 9, and I got the same errors. Any help would be appreciated, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Some apps are different for noghat and pie Android
So there is no grantee that you can install all APK that you backed up on noghat for pie
Download them from Google
It should completely work
Make sure that you have free space on internal storage and when you wanna download them make sure that download arm/arm64 version

Yeah, downloading from the Play Store definitely works, I'm just curious as to why backing up an app downloaded from the Play Store won't install from the APK *on the exact same device.* I'm a stickler for keeping local backups of everything, but I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Well there is a another reason
That is some app install with APK
And other one install with APKS
which you should install them with SAI and have two or three file to install (even more)
And when you backup from apks apps it doesn't backup all files to install it again
But at play store it install automatically

Holy crap, dude, I had NO idea that split APKs were a thing. I downloaded Split APK Installer from the Play Store, and I can make and restore local backups again. Thank you so much for the info, it was exactly what I needed!

Happy that it helped
I hope somebody read this, I got a some specific trouble with my phone, I got a Samsung Galaxy A5, with Android 4.4.4 KitKat ( I know it's too old), I can't use Google play store anymore, so I must to look and download APK files from the web (APKpure, APKmirror, etc,). The trouble I got it's not exactly with my phone, it's with some app I downloaded from the web, the app is WaveEditor it's an audio editing app (The app is Pro Unlocked). I downloaded the file and I uploaded to virustotal.com, to know if the file had a virus, 60 antivirus told me the file is clean, so I installed in my phone and everything was alright, I use the app and any trouble, but some days after using the app I saw the info app, and I surprised myself, the app told me the space occupied was 512GB, (I couldn't taked a screenshot) it is ridiculous because of my phone got 16GB and 2GB the SD card, so after to see that I tryed to deleted the data of the app but no happens anything I tryed to uninstall the app but the phone restartg one's own. I don't open the app again. So I want to know if the app is the trouble or it's a trouble of my phone.
Go into safe mode and uninstall app. Is it set as a system Administrator?
If that fails, factory reset.
If that fails it may need to be reflashed.
Just because an app is clean when you install it doesn't prevent it from downloading its payload latter. Kitkat is vulnerable to some nasty rootkits that can worm their way out of the user partition ie Xhelper. Best to firewall block apps that don't need internet access and don't allow them to update. Karma Firewall works very well doing this.
