App backup

Is there a way to back up apps and quickly reinstall them after a rom update without having to go to the market place?
I found the apks but when I manually install them, the market doesn't recognize they are installed. is there a data file that holds that info?
Sent from my rooted MyTouch Slide using SideMeRoot5R1

Download Astro File Manager from the market.
Install it, and its got the option to make a backup of all the apks. when you flash a new rom, all you have to do is install astro once, and then reinstall all of your apps from there.
The only downfall is that you won't get update notifications when updates come out for apps

the above solution does make a backup of your apks, but there is a .db file somewhere(i forget where) that the market reads to see what you have installed, if you backup and restore that file with each ROM flash(adb pull/push) then you will have your updates when they become available(but make sure that you are pulling/pushing in recovery)

Titanium backup does all of this for you and pretty quickly too!

[Q] Flashable .zip of app/data back ups?

Hi, I've been switching between roms and found restoring my apps and data to be the most time consuming part.
Is there a way I can make a flashable .zip that contains all of my backed up apps and data so I can flash it from recovery?
Kind of an automated restore of apps and data?
Searching yielded few results.
In /showthread.php?t=776086 This thread the third post, someone was able to create a .zip containing the OPs requested file.
Titanium backup also offers an option to make an "update.zip". but it only contains the .apk for TB.
I want to be able to do that with all of my apps and data.
EDIT: I actually kind of solved it. Titanium Backup Donate bypasses all the clicking "install" for each app with privileges.
I am still open to other suggestions about a flashable version.
Thanks.

Voice dictation missing from Swype after LI3 update

As the title implies, after the latest update, voice dictation is missing from swype...
Does anyone know any solution to the problem?

If you have root access, use something to uninstall Swype (a backup might be a good idea as well to be safe). I used Titanium Backup (for backup and uninstall)
Use a file explorer like ES File Explorer (with root options enabled) to go into root system/lib and remove the file lisSwypeCore.so. Once again though, I highly suggest backing this file up somewhere. May mess with future updates if it's not there?
After that, reboot the device into recovery, wipe the Dalvik cache, then reboot.
Install Swype, or restore a backup if you have one (just not the one you removed)

[Q] Bloatware keeps installing

Hi,
I have used WinDroid Toolkit to unlock, flash TWRP and root the HTC Desire 820u which worked fine. I then installed System App Remover (ROOT) which I have used on all my past phones.
I have removed all Chinese apps including AppMarket & Hidi, but when I restart the phone the apps are all back. I've also tried to remove HTC Blinkfeed as I use Nova so have no use for it and then same thing happens. It appears to be removed, but on restarting the phone, it's back?
Is there anyway I can remove these without them coming back?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how about trying this?: use a root file manager to rename all the unnecessary files (apk & odex) in /system/app and /system/priv-app. and, if the phone reboots and works fine, delete the renamed files altogether.
that's what i've done on my past phones (once i got root access and custom recovery) - with a full nandroid backup and backups of all data and apps+data at hand, of course.
fyi, i used online nandroid backup script, mybackup pro app and es file explorer app for these tasks.

Hello.... I'm using HTC desire 820 device which is unlocked and rooted too. I want to remove preinstalled apps from my device for free up some memories.

Please suggest me to do uninstall permanently......

Titanium Backup can't perform changes in the SYSTEM partition [Lineage 14.1, Supersu]

Hi,
I have recently replaced my LG G3 stock rom with Lineage 14.1 official rom. I have also rooted my device using the 'su-addon' suggested by Lineage team.
Unfortunately, since I moved to Lineage some of Titanium Backup's features have stopped working properly. For instance, I tried to uninstall some system apps, and after reboot they were still there. I also tried to convert system apps into user apps, but Titanium Backup couldn't accomplish the proccess (I had a message telling me "Please wait" for more than 15 minutes).
However, Titanium Backup does succeed in taking backups (for both system and user apps). Another interesting fact is that I managed to uninstall system apps / convert them to user apps manually, by using a File Browser with root access. Therefore I really don't get why titanium backup stopped working....
My guess was t. backup doesn't work properly with Lineage root addon, and thus I replaced it with SuperSu (latest version). Still, titanium backup doesn't work... It looks like it fails in each action requires to change files in the system partition (maybe it doesn't have write permission?)
Any suggestions?
