Hello everyone, I deleted the quickoffice file explorer that comes with the defy by default from my phone through titanium backup but made a backup of it before deleting but I'm unable to restore the application from the backup. And after deleting it I'm getting a parsing error from non market apps so I need the application back.
So can someone please copy the apk file from the system->app folder of their rooted phone and post it here for me? Thanks in advance
Um someone help me please? All need is one apk file

Hello everyone! I've been trying to find the answer to my question in the forum but I have not succeed.
The thing is that I want to get the apk files of some of the app's I have installed on my Desire.
I use Norton Mobile Utilities to check the directory where the apk file of each app is stored. Some of them are in /mnt/asec and these are so easy to find there and save them via copy-paste. On the other hand, some app's are stored in /data/app-private/ but when I check this directory with my file browser it appears completely empty.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance!
Get App Backup & Restore from market and than make backup to specified folder on sdcard.

For backing up and restoring apps i can highly recommend titanium backup. Using it everytime i change rom or install current new. Never had problems.

to see /data you would need root explorer.
or you could try My backup Root, backup apps you need and then extract .apk from .rar
some file explorer programs like Astro have this feature as built in component

Just tried both Titanium Backup and Root Explorer. They both work. Thank you all!
Titanium backup is probably the best way to get APK's quickly.
I use Astro too which you could try too.
I have searched this forum and have not found an answer. I would like to know how to backup the .apk files that are stored on the phone memory, not the SD card. I have used ASTRO file manager but cannot locate the .apk files. I have already used Titanium Backup Pro but I have found that the .apk files are backed up a .tar.gz files. What I want to do is backup the .apk files as .apk files for future resoration or transport to another Android device. I have searched the phone and cannot loacte where the downloaded .apk's are being stored. Could someone out there please help point me in the right direction.

You have a couple of options. You can tell titanium backup not to use compression when backing up, or you can use 'Root Explorer' and navigate to /data/app where you will find all your user installed apps, be aware that the data for the apps, such as save games etc... is stored in /data/data.
Hope that this is of some help to you.
Tahnsk for your help
Doktaphex,
I tried turning compression off but titanium backup still created .tar files, not .apk files. Secon option of using root explorer worked just great.
Thanks for your help.
You can use Titanium backup, which will create compressed file, but you can decompress it on your PC and extract .apk file.
Method I use is with ASTRO. Go to menu-tools-backup programs, choose programs you want to backup and hit 'Backup' button. Then navigate to backup folder and there are your programs. But be aware, they will show market names whic are not always easy to determine which .apk is which program.
I use appmonster as it backs up when you install from any source, using an old version 1.9.0 as they changed the way it puts file names, nopw it does via market, on prior it was a readable name
I am using app saver, it works~
A simple option would be to install appInstaller (the one by Gregory House) from the market.
It's a lightweight app which backs up apk files to a folder on your sd card named app saver.

It all depends of the app...if is a system app or a market one. You have to use a file explorer such as file manager or ES explorer.
If the app you are looking for is a system on you need to be rooted.
Try apk extractor in the market its free, its what I use.

I have downloaded an app + data (so it seems), from a friend. He made a backup for me and told me I could restore it using Titanium Backup.
It's a zip file and it contains a .tar.gz of the data, a .apk.gz (app) and a .properties file.
The .properties file seems to contain Titanium Backup information.
So I assume there should be some way of importing this zip file using Titanium Backup. But I can't find that option.
What I can find is "Backup" (which creates a backup of an app and stores it *somewhere*) and "Restore", where I can't specify a path or anything.
How can I restore the data inside this zip?
Extract that .zip file to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ folder. If you installed app which you want to restore go to Titanium Backup app and just restore it :good:

Can someone please help me? I have all of my backed up info on Google Drive from TB. I moved that info from Google to my phone and have tried to batch restore, but it keeps showing 0 files. Please help as I have a lot of apps and data backed up and I don't care to start over. I purchased the TB Pro app for just such an occasion and now I can't use it.

This works indeed.
I selected a batch operation for backing up apps and system data. Downloaded it via the TB Webserver and thought I was okay.
Tried restoring by uploading it to my Nexus via TB Webserver anddd it's gone. Not in the Titanium Backup app, nor to be found on the Nexus with a file browser.
Uploaded the zip manually using an usb cable to the emualted sd andddd no,option in Titanium Backup to say "its here!".
Downloaded an unzip thingie in the Play Store, unzipped the shizzle and let the files in the zip -one level down- being unpacked in the TitaniumBackup folder.
Restarted TB and yay, it can see again. Batch restored everything and... it works. Kinda. Stuck on Swiftkey as we speak. But this is the best I could come up with.
Sigh.
1. Is there any method to update the apk files stored in the zip file with newer version ?
2. How can we delete /update the backup apks with newer version?

There may be a better way to do this, but somewhere in Preference you can tell it how many backups to keep. I think the default is "All". Set it to 1 and that should do the trick.
I accidentally uninstalled the default Samsung Gallery app using Titanium Backup. I had a backup, but the backup failed to restore using titanium backup.
I also tried to re-add the contents to the Systems/App directory using root explorer, but that failed too. I think the folder was supposed to be called ScGallery2015 or something..? Can someone check their Systems/App directory and see what the folder is called and what it should have? If you could even send me those files that would be great. :crying:
Any help is appreciated.

Can someone upload the SecGallery2015 contents? Including with whatever is inside the Arm64 folder.
