Can someone tell me how go put all my apps somewhere whenever I flash a new rom? I always have to download everything again-_- and also my gmail contacts aren't saved from where they were saved on previous roms..any help? Thanks

Titanium Backup does this. You can backup/restore apps & settings. Also, you can extract the .apk files and copy them to your sd card.

I'll second the Titanium Backup recommendation, makes it easy to get your apps back where they were after your flash a new ROM or wipe. It's a must have app for any Android phone IMO and is good enough to be a sole reason for rooting (I rooted my mom's OG Droid just so she could use TB)

Is there a auto install for titanium? Instead if running batch and clicking install for every app?

The paid version doesn't require you to click install for every app (it's a true batch operation).

Do i need the premium key??

[Q]Can't get Tap Tap Revenge to download on market. Please help.

Wasn't sure which thread this should be in so I posted it here as my question. Please feel free to move it.
I just noticed that this game is now available for us. By when I retro download it in the market it won't download. It starts then quites(as do some other apps for some reason.) Is there another place or way I can download the game??

you said other apps, do all apps not download? I ask this because a few weeks back my market wouldnt download any apps and I had to wipe everything and reflash. Turns out it was an app causing the problem when I used titanium backup to restore apps. Just a thought if that is your problem. Oh and to answer your main question, if its not what I previously mentioned then I suppose you could check androidzoom or app brain, I think they do stuff with apps. Last resort, check 4shared.com

I say its about 90% of apps I try to download. Mainly it seems to be the ones I want, but if I pick any random app it'll download.

You can try clearing your market cache, force stop it, the try again; or the above listed methods.

Probably going to have to move all your apps over to your phone and delete the android_secure folder. Then reboot and give it a try. Sounds like that folder got corrupted. Pretty common occurrence.

I've never put apps on the SD card, so I should be all set to do thY. But by erasing that folder would it erase anything on the phone?

Nope won't erase anything. Once you delete that folder (while nothing is in there)you will be good after reboot. It won't erase anything and it will create a new one once you start downloading again. Give me a few minutes and ill send ya the link
Here ya go. This will explain it all. I've had to do it 3-4 times with all the flashing I've done. This is the "more permanent fix" http://forum.androidcentral.com/gen...not-downloading-installing-image-warning.html

Followed step by step and I get "error deleting files". I'm using the free version of Astro to delete it because ES File Explorer doesn't even show the folder.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Not sure why es wouldn't be showing it under SD card files. Have you checked into maybe getting astro pro, or root explorer? If not, sure you could use adb to erase it.

I've deleted the folder and restarted and they still don't download, repeated process, and still no luck. Guess I gotta reflash :/
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Dang that sucks. Make sure you clear the data for the market and once one starts downloading, cancel it. Then try again right after you cancel it.

This probably won't help you any but just a heads up, you'll probably have a ton of download#.apk files in /sdcard/downloads

Never cleared market cache before, how do I go about doing that??

Only thing I can thing to do is maybe delete the market and pull another market .apk from somewhere and reinstall the market if nothing else has worked.

Well, I don't have a fix for your problem, but here's Tap Tap Revenge if you haven't found it yet...

That game is way too addicting.
You could try using App Brain & Fast Web Installer to download apps. It actually works better/faster for me than downloading from the market. If you need the apks for those apps I can post them for you.

how to extract the rom off my evo

how do I extract the rom in my evo, so I can do more mod on my pc?
Sent from my pimp out evo using xda premium

You can just take the apk's that you want to mod out and mod them that way I'm not much of a themer to help you with that.
To remove apps that you don't want or anything you don't want you can use a file manager with root like es or root explorer and just delete them.
You can also just do this to the ROM before you flash it using 7zip or something similar.

I was able to remove apps with scrip manager, but to add apps that I want like the new htc music from sense 3.5 "they call it listen" I couldn't add it. I used app manager to install it, but it would say, app did not install 8(

I'm not real good with that stuff but I on don't think you can have 2 htc music apks at the same time also if its not for that ROM I would think it might need to be signed the right way not sure on that.
But you can try putting it in system/app then change permissions to rw-r-r then reboot .
Make sure you have a backup messing with things like that.

Pre-installed ?

Is there any way to add some apps/games to pre-installed ?
If there is a way to do it please tell me how im a newbie and I might ask alot of questions.
Regards,
JC2

Well basically pre-installed means "installed apps, (if paid or under the copyright such as google apps) still protected by the law but legally and originally dependend to the ROM provided by manufacturer/producer/network operator/developer and free to use for everyone who owns the device" which is mainly the phone.
So I think there is no reasonable way to add pre-installed games/apps, but only download/buy them and just install...
I don't really see the point of this question but I'll be happy if my post helps you.
Cheers!

Put the apk in the system/app folder then install it.
That doesn't sound like what you're asking, but the closest I know you can do. Or you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.

In Titanium Backup long press the app and choose convert to system app. You need the paid for version though.

Removing bloat

With every other rooted phone I've had I was always able to remove unwanted systems apps by either removing APK's from system/app or using titanium backup. Now with the One everytime I try to do that a reboot causes the apps to return. What's the deal? Amazon apps for example, don't want any of them, I'm rooted, how can I get rid of them?
Edit: I know there is a script I can run, but the script removes too much...
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium App

run the script and reinstall the apps you want...

I can make a custom script for you. What do you want to keep?

Dude that's insanely generous of you, but I guess this is what it comes down to... I use facebook and twitters integration with sense, which if I'm not mistaken lies in the framework? If I run your script, will it remove the integration? ie Facebook for HTC sense, Twitter for HTC sense... will your debloat script remove that? Really what bothers me more than having the bloatware, is not knowing why I can't remove it from system if it is R/W. I've just never ran into this issue unless it was a tethered root.

HTC has write protection on the system files.
Give me 20 min or so I will have you a script.

WTF write protection on system files? Is that because of stock Rom or what? I've never heard of that before. I did notice when I tried to use ES to move a .wav file to /system/media/audio/notifications it wouldn't stick after a reboot, then used Root Explorer to move the file and boom, it stuck after reboot.

I don't fully understand it, but I know it will revert changes after a reboot. To permanently change something you have to do it in recovery since the filesystem isn't active.

Anyone know how to restore one of the proprietary sense apps? I want picasa back in my gallary.

Have you tried a TB restore? If that doesnt work, maybe pushing the app via adb? Which now brings the question can we push/pull files to system and have them stick, or no go because of write protection?

viperboy has a script to disable write protection, over at the sprint forum, don't know if it will work here or not, pm him and find out
