Transferring apps to another phone - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Is there anyway to save and transfer apps to another phone? I have a lot of paid apps that I got for free from Amazon daily free app. I know regular paid apps I can download again but not these.

TitaniumBackup
ROM Toolbox
Helium
And 1,000 others.

I have titanium backup but I'm not sure how I can backup on this phone and transfer to another phone?

Can upload to cloud, or send the files to your computer. Or copy them to extsd.

So do I just move the titanium folder to the new device? Or do I need choose certain folders within the main folder. Then do I install titanium on the new device and just restore?

Yup put the folder on your new device, install titanium, and restore your apps.

Why can't you install Amazon App market on your new phone, log into the app, go to your My Apps folder and download the apps you need to the new phone? That's what I do every time I change phones. Just like Play Store, Amazon app market keeps all the apps you purchased (even if it was free the day you got it, it was still a purchase) linked to your account.

[Q] transferring app data from a rooted Arc to a non-rooted Ion

So, how do I do this? have manually transferred the apk files so that I have the apps installed, but how do I transfer the app data? I haven't turned on Google backup, and I hear it is a bit hit and miss anyway, so what is the best way of doing this? Does titanium backup work on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks
Bolo

I don't think it will do it automatically but maybe where you have to install each one at a time. And without root I don't know if it can link it to market etc. I used to use my backup pro on my X10 before root

Titanium no go wo root but do u even need data? Sometimes that's trouble anyway w using a dif rom. If u have apks just install, open and reset them, minor pain but otherwise could get nothing but force closes. eb

After running a bit and market too should sync themselves. eb

I'm trying to do the same thing did you ever figure it out?
After install the game, look for the file or folder of your game in the old phone - copy & paste to the new phone in exact location. Ie: /android/data/..xgame.
I play PES2012 and that worked for me.

Nope still have not. The game data is saved on the system part of the phone and so can't transfer without root...

Rooted or not you still able to access system folder.

Hi, I might be missing the point here, but if you are not rooted you cannot write to the root folders. So even if you can access the folders (which I can using astro on my non rooted ion) you cannot write the required data which means cannot transfer the data. It really depends on where your app saves the game.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
I could be wrong but I don't think any programs install after the rom would write into the system and do not allow you to copy & replace. You just have to know what you are doing.

Unblockme definitely saves a database to the data/data folder of the root. Like I said I think it depends on the app.

@ bolochan
I download the game and played it - really cool game. I found the folder for the game - from Astro - /mnt/asec/com.kiragames.unblockme - copy that and paste to your ION, you should be good.

Thanks. But my asec folder is empty. My data is found in the root folder, at /data/data/com.kiragames.unblockme
I might try moving the game to the sdcard first to see if this helps.
Edit. If I move the game to sdcard/ internal storage, I get the folder in the asec folder. However I believe this folder only contains the app itself, not the game data. Will keep looking.

Play store

I accidentally uninstalled play store and when I downloaded apk and opened it up it force closed. Can't get to open up. Can somebody help me with this problem. I was messing with it because I couldn't update apps. It would say waiting for network and didn't do anything. I had 4g signal very good and strong.

wait so do you still have the play store app? if so just in app management delete the cache and reset the app.
you need to elaborate a bit more on that post as in i'm not really following everything your saying.
if you are not on a stock rom, i.e. using an AOSP AOKP or CM rom, then just flash the gapps file again. I'd post a link but since I don't know which rom you're on I am not sure which one you need. There is a separate one for GB or ICS.... if you are on a stock rooted rom then just open the zip file for the rom you downloaded and copy the .apk from it to your rom. should be located in the folder /system/app/.
Hope that helps, good luck.
Not on any rom just plain stock. And I don't have play store app period on my phone except for when I googled an apk to download. It doesn't give me an option to clear cache. Just uninstall and force close.

You don't have anything like this under app managements
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
that is rather strange. I'd almost recommend uninstalling. where did you get the apk from?
No I do not have that under app management.

I got the apk from a website I can't recall and it was from media share.

so clear this for me, you DON'T have google play store at all in app management? or if you do and just cant do anything with it at all.
If you DON'T have the Google Play Store here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28367656&postcount=12
install that.
I downloaded the apk from link you gave me and I opened it and it let me in but when I went to update one of my apps it stopped working unexpectedly force close. Same thing its been doing since I first installed the play store.

don't just try to install the apk, but make sure you copy it to the system/ apps folder. After that you should probably also reboot to recovery and wipe cache and the dalvik cache , then google play will be hopefully working when you reboot.
Because you don't have the play store , you can dance install the amazon app store from the amazon web page on your phone to work around getting a file manager.
Try using a free app like es file explorer.

an important question, is your phone rooted? If not go to you wherever you said you were able to get to uninstall the place store before. Uninstall it cross your fingers, and reboot.

There not in play store so I can uninstall them... there not in settings app to uninstall
And I even went as far as to look in root explorer... nothing there either. On the net it says there real apps but I DID NOT PUT THEM THERE! I don't know if adblock is the root cause or what to do I really don't want to do a fresh install.. but it looks like I may have to.... here a pic the apps at the top just appeared ... lookout detected nothing....
Edit: its hard to see but there all like catch a chearter... GPS a cheater... extra.

Adfree altered my host file.... I could try titanium but would that pull out the root changes and unhost the changes in the file?

Wipe Data, Format SD Card, Reflash Rom, do not reinstall apps from Titanium Bakcup, do fresh installs.
The only way to be sure that the malware/spyware is gone.
I have been running adfree for months now and this has not happened to me. There is no way you got this from adfree. You either got it from web browsing on your phone or there is another application you installed that put them there.

That is caused by a already installed app. Uninstall the app before you started to get these ads and they will not show again

Thanks bro... u saved me

For a solid YouTube downloader, try Tubemate. You can't get it from the Play Store but you can get it in the Amazon Market or the app's website I believe. No adds or spam, the only problem is it can only download videos for which there are mobile versions. About one in 10 videos doesn't have a mobile version, in my experience.

Backup conversations..

I wonder if i can backup my conversations(not the apk, the texts messages) from a contact and restore them when i want..
Sent from my LT18i using XDA Premium App
there are a few free or paid apks on the play store that do this. titanium backup also has this function.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
yes, Titanium backup is very helpful to backup all that you want, especially if you start to play with ROMs.
If you really use it, you will quickly buy the paid version
Else you have some apps dedicated to backup your contacts/calls/sms. I'm using MyPhoneExplorer, to synchronize them, and to backup them.

What is this App

What is "cloudagent" as it is taking up 2.4 gb of storage and can I delete it..?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
It is related to the gallery app, clear it by going to settings, apps, all apps and clear data in galery.. You can disable it and use quick pick from Play.
It's Dropbox sync. Had the same problem initially, it decided everything in my Dropbox should be saved for offline viewing. Check your sync settings.

I Also had the same problem, I worked out that when I had drop box uploading every photo I took, it also kept a copy of it, so it was using double the amount of space on the phone, I was told of an app called dropsnap, it uploads the photos you take but doesn't keep a store of them. Its a great app and there is a free trial on the market.
