[Q] Is there a way to make a zip so you can install all of your apps at once?? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

If it doesn't show up in your application listing then you will have to use a program like titanium backup (free from the play store) to uninstall it.
Just back it up first in titanium backup first just in case.

I have Titanium Pro, how would I uninstall it though?
If it's like TB (basic) just find the launcher on the list, short tap and tap "Uninstall".
(Long tap will give separate options that you don't need for uninstall.)
*Edit*
I apologize if this sounds like I'm patronizing - I made this mistake when I first used TB.
Since then I have found that I'm not the only one that tried the long tap first.

Another way to get rid of all junk (at least for me and other many people) apps is using Calkulin's Bare Rom converter in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535776
Download it and run it from CWM recovery. Nova launcher is one of the apps included in his tool.
This worked!!!

Or another option is to navigate to the system/app folder and just delete the offending apk file.

[Q] XDA Premium App Install Location

I'm trying to find the apk for the XDA Premium app so I can add some things to my CM10 theme, but the app is not installed in data/app. I have searched my sdcard and cannot find the apk anywhere. Any one know where it is installed to?
Using Titanium backup, when I long press on the XDA app, I see the option "Move to Internal." Every other app has "Move to SD Card." What is up with this?
/data/app
com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity-1.apk
edit: paid installs to /data/app-asec but is not an apk.

I'm not sure, the app-asec folder is for encrypted apps, so I think it's the app that determines whether it goes there, or just data/app.
I do recall seeing a thread in GN themes and apps about how to theme the paid version FWIW.

yes it is. paid apps go there now.
Must be new behavior. because it has always installed to /data/app for me. I think its a feature google implemented i noticed that in the options it gives you when uploading apps to the play store is "make app more secure" -"Make apps harder to steal" or something similar... so the developers must have checked that feature. Which sucks cause now i cant theme it

[Q] Titanium Backup removal

Hey I know this is probably a repeat thread but im having trouble finding an answer. This would help me tremendously.
I install a ROM, it already has TB installed. Its not Pro. I purchased pro and want to install.
When try to install I get an error saying signature already exists. I dont see a way to uninstall because it was
Built into the Rom. Please let me know how to remove. Also is the removable process the same on each android version (ics, jb etc.)
Thanks for your help!
Use a root explorer mount the system as write and delete the app. Look in /system/app/

I posted a titanium removal zip. I know there are quite a few of people who don't use it.
Plus I can't put pro version in a ROM, because you have to pay for it.

And for some reason it doesn't work but, it should.
use ES file explorer or root explorer (make sure system is read and write R/W)
go to system/app and delete com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.apk

you have to reboot for the changes to take place. I had this same issue before, if you use titanium backup to freeze itself and destroy market link (destroy the market link first) then uninstall with root explorer you shouldn't have anymore issues. All you'll need to do is download from market after a reboot and it should recognize the pro key

[Q] Help freeing up Internal Storage (nandroid backups)

I'm currently low on space on my internal storage and I believe the problem is old nandroid backups from back when I used CWM. I now use TWRP and it doesn't see my old backups. Where can I find the backups so that I can delete them?
If all you wanna do is deal with the nandroid backups on your device, I use Nandroid Manager (from Google Play store, its free). It finds the paths where any and all backups on the device may be stored, and lists them for you. You can then go and delete them or browse them if you want...
I've tried that, but it only shows my most recent backup that was made with TWRP. It doesn't show any of my old backups that I made when I was still using CWM

Download Rom Manager in the play store from Clockworkmod and go to Manage and Restore Backups and then delete them.

Use a file browser and go to sdcard-clockworkmod and they should all be there. Cut and paste them to a computer if you need to save them. You can always use titanium back as well as app from above to extract anything you need.
Sorry for the late response, I've been busy with school and just got around to attempting to fix this issue to no avail. I tried reflashing CWM to see if it could see old recoveries but I couldn't see any. I'm beginning to think it's not actually old nandroid files, but something else taking up all the storage instead. I've used diskusage and root explorer to try and find something that was taking up lots of room, but nothing was taking up much space. I don't have many apps, and there's no way the rom should be taking up this much room. This thread over at androidcentral shows other people having the same problem. This is getting pretty bad as I can't update or install any apps.

After doing some digging around in diskusage I finally found the culprit. All of the old recoveries had been moved into /data/lost+found. Deleting the contents fixed all my problems! Hopefully this will help someone else out, it has been driving me crazy.
