[Q] Is there a way to make a zip so you can install all of your apps at once??

I was wondering if I could move all of my apps into a zip folder and install them I have a feeling my have tried this in the past and it failed. Is this even possible? If so is there something special I have to do? I really hate having to manually install apps, through titanium backup when ever I wipe my phone.

if you use the Titanium Backup Donate verision. It installs them for you at once. You dont have to manually install each app.

+1 on titanium backup. The donate version is worth the money.

+1 more on titanium paid version. Also, if you really want a flashable zip of your apps titanium has an option to create one!

titanium backup files in an apk

does anyone know how to convert the titanium backup files in an apk.
I have an calc widget that I want install on another phone but this phone cannot b rooted.
I dont want to root this persons phone

I guess I would just restore the app onto your phone and make a copy of the apk that way. Then transfer it to their phone and install it.

Without being rooted, I'm not sure.
Does adb or Droid explorer work on a non rooted phone? If so, extract the calculator app out of the TB Backup and push it with ADB or batch install it with Droid Explorer

I think the problem lies in the fact that when one makes a titanium backup, the apk extension changes and it can only be restored using TB.

@thesssfactor,
Is your phone rooted? If I were you I'd restore the backup onto your phone. Navigate with a file explorer to /data/app and find and copy the apk that you restored. Then just copy it over to the other phone, or send it in an email or something. That way its an actual apk that can be installed on the nonrooted phone.
Also, you'll have to allow that other phone to install non-market apps. That option is in setting (I think its under the development option)

Nah I've taken apks from titanium backups and given them to others or used them in apk manager and tweaked them and reinstalled them. It just saves them in a weird format but u can extract that using 7zip and get the apk

Thanks smurf, I didn't know that.
I do most everything directly from my phone these days. (I'm a phonely person (phone only))
Thanks for the info

I'm here to helpish lol

He's right. If you unzip the .zip file with the apk extension, the apps are in there and can be extracted.

Nice, I am going to have to try this out.
The reason why I posted this because i want to put the calc widget on my tablet but I refuse to doing extra for my boss (like rooting his tablet).
The reason why I am putting the calc widget on it, is because I use it for payroll.
I'll do an guide later on how to extract it help out our fellow users.

How to delete TWRP backups from GN?

OKay I'm coming from a Nexus S where things seemed to be so much easier. I initially had CWM but when I performed a backup I could not find my backups anywhere using windows. So I went into CWM and deleted the backup created by CWM and installed TWRP. Well I did a backup using that and when I restarted my phone and went to view my backup again I couldn't find it. So I deleted TWRP and installed CWM again.
Now I went to install from SD on CWM and I finally seen my folders that I couldn't see on Windows. I'm guessing they're on the root of the SD file and I can't locate it on my phone at all. So I was wondering how would I go about deleting it on ADB. Please help.
Here's a picture of where TWRP is on phone and the backup that I can't view on TWRP but can see on CWM.

So how would I delete it? I can't find it on my phone or Computer. But I can see it when I go into CWM.

Nevermind I figured it out.

Go into TWRP, click on restore then click on the backup you want to delete. There will be a button that says "Delete Backup".
Image of said button.

for me. I can see my twrp backup using a file manager (and using root browser) and I can see the backup on my pc BUT, when i boot into twrp it says the backup folder is empty! and when i try to delete the 4.6gb back up file using my pc or using root browser it fails to delete the file (no error, just says 'Unable To Delete File'...what gives!? I'd really like that 4,6 gigabytes of space back on my phone lol!

Boot animation

OK so I downloaded some new boot animations from ROM toolbox.. I read where it says how to install them but I'm not to sure on what its saying.. I tried moving the zip file to the main phone storage but it wouldn't move.. is there another way to do this.

Do that, then long press on the bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to give everyone read access and write only to user

Well now after a hour of trying. I finally read all the comments on that page and seen that I had to rename the file to bootanimation. Now I have my android peeing on the apple...

I guess my ROM won't allow me to change my bootanimation screen. When I go to replace the current one in ES Explorer, it says the file cannot be replaced. I'm running SS Ultra. Anyone else have this problem, and know a solution without switching ROM's?

1. Make sure you have full root access under the settings
2. Don't delete the original boot animation, just toss something like .bak on the end just in case something goes screwy its still there.
Wouldn't let me delete mine either, but it did allow me to rename with ES. Don't ask me how or why, but if something CAN go wrong to me it WILL.

ES Explorer not working properly with Rooted Stock 4.4.4

I have been trying for a while now to get the APK for S-Note to install on stock 4.4.4 and fails every time I try. So online I found another way I could do this is to use root explorer thats in ES Explorer. The problem is the copying to anything on root fails even though the root option is enabled in ES Explorer and my phone is rooted. So my thought is that maybe the file explorer is messed up or something. I know the APK for S-note works because it worked prior to me going to stock from another customer rom. Any suggestions?

Did you mount system as rw?

I don't remember seeing that as an option. Where in the app do I do this?

Tap on root explorer, not the button, then you will see this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to mount r/w, then select rw for system

That worked, however I am getting a describe error. It says there is a problem parsing the package. I am not understanding why this APK does not work. The icon looks normal when its not in the system app folder. When its copied there I see the the android gremlin thing sitting in a box. This is extremely aggravating because I know this worked on 4.4.2 just fine.

You mean the mount rw thing? That part I was able to do. Even when I set it back and reboot the app does not show up in my app drawer.
