How do i save my apps to my sd card? i want to save my whole app to my sd card don't care about installing it to sd, just want that the apps i download from market place be saved on sd card for later installing myself either off-line or if i reset phone and don't want to go back to market place and try to find them. The market place doesn't memorize your free apps in the downloads if you install one of them then navigate away then come back to see which one you have missed to download previously it wont show up again.
Ive searched here and on Internet and only thing keeps coming up is installing apps to sd card and why it cant be done. But im not looking for that. Just looking to save it to sd then at later date installing it to memory of phone. just care for saving the apk file not installing it to sd.
I use Titanium back up to save all the apps and some of the system data. When you load a new ROM just do a restore and viola all your apps are back. It does require root access

anything that doesn't require root? or that intercepts the market place download and saves the app to the sd card then installs it to phone so the app can be installed later if you do reset.

You can use a file manger i.e. astro or estrongs to backup apps. It can back up your free apps just fine. The only problem is when you install them from the SD card I don't believe they are attached to the market. That means the app won't update.
Your paid apps are attached to your gmail account so you can reset and they will still be there

Bricked my GS3. Received new one today. Is there anyway I can restore the apps, data, and/or settings from titanium (I backed up to drop box)? I log into drop box but titanium does not let me restore from drop box. Thanks.
Did you try moving the backups from your dropbox to your sdcard?
I just have the internal SD at the moment, would that matter?
If you saved the titanium backup folder just move it from dropbox to the ad card and run TB. See if that works.

How would I do that? The only way I can move the files is to download them, which I am doing, but it's downloading a .zip file to my PC. Once it's done I will try to move it into the titanium backup folder on the phone? Sorry for all of these questions...I am a complete novice when it comes to cell phone rooting, flashing, and all this fun stuff.
Download a file explorer for your phone from the play store. It can unzipp files for you after you download it from dropbox.
Root the new phone, d/l TiBU, reconnect with it to drop box, profit?

I have a file explorer so I have been downloading each app and reinstalling them. Thanks guys.
Having some problems with my phone and planning on getting a replacement today.
What's the best way to back up my phone and transfer it to my new one? I'm running aokp and nova can I just transfer my nova back up to the new phone? What should I do in tibu though?

Best way to transfer it would be through a nandroid using ext sd card. Otherwise you can use TiBU for USER (backing up system apps is asking for trouble) [apps+data] only.
Nova will only backup your layout and drawer. When you load the nova backup on the new phone it will mirror your exact setup and if there's any apps missing it will simply have a green android icon with the name of the app that was installed on your homescreen (currently not installed).
You'll also want to use google account sync to backup your contacts. Pictures/videos/audio obviously through an ext sd.
I had to backup my GS3 apps when going from root back to stock. For the apps you can find the TiBu folder in the internal storage, copy that to your PC. When you get your new phone- install TiBu, paste the folder back in and you should be able to restore them. Contacts can be restored by syncing with the Gmail account, and photos you should copy to your computer as well. Good luck

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
I'm trying to transfer system settings, apps, and data from one Galaxy Note 2 to another using Titanium Backup Pro with SuperUser installed. Both phones are rooted and are identical and run the exact same version of the same Android OS.
After backing up the contents and system data of the old phone, I upload the 1.7 GB backup files up to DropBox via the "Sync to DropBox" function. All 1.7 GB appears on DropBox.
I remove the SIM card and SD card from the old phone and put it into the new phone. On the new phone, I install the pro version of Titanium, and the superuser apps, plus BusyBox.
To download the backup files from DropBox to my new phone, I tap on "Sync to DropBox" on the new phone. Instead of downloading the backup files from DropBox to my new phone, this deletes all the DropBox files stored there. This happens probably because by tapping Sync on the new phone within Titanium, it sees that the backup folder is empty and therefore cleans out what was previously uploaded from the old phone.
The same SD card that was used on the old phone is now in the new phone and should technically contain the backup files, but Titanium installed on the new phone says there are zero backups on it.
1) How can I make Titanium download 1.7GB of the backup files instead of deleting it?
2) After being able to successfully download the backup files, I suppose what I need to do after that is to restore apps + system data? Thanks so much for your help!
Weird, that's not how it's supposed to work. You could attempt to either restore the android id or create a new one from tb options.
Regarding your second question, yes, but when restoring system data, I prefer to simply tick the apps and xmls that I want to avoid conflicts.

Why you not changing location of TB to Ext SD card and select Auto Sync TB setting
After this reload application and just move same SD card to new device, install TB and everything will be fine.
-To restore
I recommend
-Restore missing app + Data
then only data from
Contact storage - green
Messeging-yellow
setting-green
setting storage-green
Sec Home Launcher - Red
I think this should be enough.
Thanks
Thanks for your helpful suggestions, guys.
What I figured out is this: Titanium Backup defaults to syncing the external SD card TI folder with the DropBox folder. If the folder is empty or isn't present on the external SD card (the one that is removable), it will delete the files that are on the cloud on DropBox but not on the external SD card.
The workaround is to specify where Titanium Backup should look for the backup files. If I connect my new phone to a computer and manually move the TI Backup files to the internal SD card (internal phone memory) and later specify for TI Backup to look at the phone's memory, not the external SD card for the TI Backup folder, the backup will work just fine (except for the usual app installation glitches because the Android ID doesn't match).
When I clicked "Sync to DropBox" on my new phone, hoping that the DropBox backup files would be downloaded to the new phone, I didn't realize that the external SD card was full and so TI Backup defaulted to Sync it with the internal SD storage on the new phone which was of course empty.
When I realized this, what I did was to manually move the entire TI Backup folder from DropBox to the new phone.
Thanks very much for your help and time taken to advise me. I really appreciate your responses.
I couldn't restore the backup I made from my sdcard. I kept getting 'can't find backup.img' error or something. Anyway, I still have the ~2gb backup with files like "cache.ext4.tar", "data.ext4.tar", etc. I just want to get my contacts' phone numbers, and find out what theme I was using. I already reinstalled everything. Is this possible? If so, how?
I would also like to restore my firefox profile if possible.
Are you using the same recovery? Have you moved the backup? It should be in sdcard/twrp/backups/ "serial number"/name of backup. If its having trouble finding it, you can move it to internal storage. Put it in the backups folder for twrp on internal.
You can extract apps from a backup, but not contacts or accounts. If you keep your contacts synced to Google they will always come back when you log in.
