ok, so i searched and i searched... forums, googling, and video sites (for tutorials and not just one search each, several times each one.) and i haven't been able to find out how to back up apps... i have root access and i'm running a jacheroski rom. i think i can back up free apps only. is it possible to back up my paid apps that i've bought off the market through the phone?? can i do it through a computer??? any insight will help. thank you ahead of time.
thanx to the site for all the roms and tutorials and all the people who contributed to them. ^_^

You can try My Backup for Root users
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.bg.smsbk
Or My Backup
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.rerware.android.MyBackup
or apps manager
http://www.cyrket.com/package/de.android_telefonie.appmanager
EDIT:
As long as you use the same google account signin, no matter what phone you use, you will always have access to your paid apps again without having to pay for them again, so there is really no need to backup paid apps. If you switch phone (as I have done because I have two) just go to my downloads and all the paid apps (as well as unpaid apps) will be there ready to download again. Or you can use the programs suggested above.

well, when i rooted my phone, i went to "my downloads" in the market and the apps were there, but i needed to redownload but the thing was that if i didn't DL all at once, when i go back to "my downloads" it just shows the recent ones i downloaded and the ones already installed.
but thanx, i'm gonna try those apps right now.
You can also type in the terminal:
$su
#mkdir /sdcard/AppBackup/
#cp -r /system/sd/* /sdcard/AppBackup/
this will put all of your apps, including paid apps, in the directory you created.

The one downside to backing up and reinstalling paid apps from SD is the maret no longer checks for updates on those apps...you have to update manually from the market (But once you do it once through the market then it will keep checking until you wipe again of delete the app)
#cp -r /system/sd/* /sdcard/AppBackup/
is the "*" where i add my folder name or is it after "/appbackup"??? capitalization necessary for the A and B in "appbackup"??
it said optional or options but didn't store anything in my new folder labeled "yoe" in the SD's root...

Code:

# cp -r /system/sd/* /sdcard/test
cp -r /system/sd/* /sdcard/test
# ls /sdcard/test/
ls /sdcard/test/
app
app-private
app_s
This is what should happen when you type in the commands (This is the output when I actually do it)
The mkdir is creating a folder on your SD so when you 'cp' or copy all of the files in /system/sd/ the '*' is a shell wildcard for all files you need to reference the exact folder you created in sdcard.
so if you did:
$su
#mkdir /sdcard/yoe
you should do:
#cp -r /system/sd/* /sdcard/yoe
Then if there are no errors check your sdcard to make sure they got copied
Edit: The 'ls' command is like a 'dir' command in the windows shell
uh.. tried exactly what you wrote down with "test" instead of "yoe", didn't work. and no, i'm not using the app2sd, i don't believe. i'm running the "slow" rom due to me not having a memory card that can be partitioned. (sorry, forgot to mention it.)
i made the yoe folder with astro.
there's just one file under the "test" folder and it's labeled "placeholder"...???

I should have asked, did you try to set up apps 2 sd? If so it may have been configured wrong.
WHat exactly are you running:
Partitions: order & size
ROM version:
SD Class:
Also could you go to Settings->SDCard and let me know how much Internal storage space you have left.
Thanks!

Well, i tried, but it didn't let me. so continued to flash the JACHero roms as the came out and didn't worry bout the apps2sd because i'm happy with just aim and a browser. it has terminal and tether and a twitter client so the only app i really need/want that i have to install from market is the hello aim, i had a few other apps i just wanted to try out but i uninstalled them already.
I've wiped and installed a lot of roms lately, and generally when I go to 'my downloads' in the market, only my paid apps are there. So, I have to go though the process of searching the installing each app again. It's just easier when they are all in a list.
I figured it would be a good idea to backup all my apps and then reinstall them afterward with adb in linux as such:
for a in `ls *.apk`; do adb install $a; done
this works, but of course they don't show up under 'my downloads' and I don't get update notifications.
Is there a way around this?

You need to backup and restore the database file located in the market folder....it should be here...
Code:
/data/data/com.android.vending/databases
I'm assuming since you can backup and restore your apps thru adb then you can figure out how to pull and push this to your phone
I assume you would want to do this to get update notifications. If so you can grab "aTrackDog" from the market. It will list all you apps and when you refresh it will tell you when updates are available and give you a link to get the update from the market.

For those of us who are not that familiar with adb, can you give a short tutorial on how to pull and then push that database folder?
well i just wiped and installed the latest cyanogen mod and when i went to the "my downloads" section of the store all the apps i had downloaded before were all there (paid and free)
I also thought it didnt do that, apperently it does

You don't need ADB, you can use the terminal emulator from the market or the recovery console.
To pull the database, open terminal or recovery and type:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.android.vending/
cp databases /sdcard
that will copy that database file to the root of your sdcard.
When pushing it back it is probably best to do it while the phone isn't running, so only use the recovery console:
Code:
cd sdcard
cp databases /data/data/com.android.vending/
reboot
I haven't tested this, but it will have the same results as the ADB method.

Backup for Root works perfectly for me
if you got a paid app through adb and got a refund, can you still get updates for that app if you have it installed?

No, you will not get updates without re-purchasing the app. And talking about ripping off app developers on this forum is frowned up so please stop discussing it.

If you got a refund, then you shouldn't have the app. That's stealing and it's not nice. Most apps are cheap (a couple of bucks at most), stop being a cheapskate.

i tried this but it dodnt work.
when I did the first command it said ommiting databases. so I thought it worked.
flashed to the new cyanogen 4.0 rom (which is amazing btw!) did the second command and it said cannot stat file "databases" no such file or folder.
what gives??
Id say the databases were open and couldnt be backed up.
You should try to copy them from the recovery.
Also, after copying why didnt you check if the database files were in your sdcard (or the path you specified for the copy) before wiping? If the file is not there its obvious that it cant be restored after the wipe..
thought it might have been hidden or on my ext2 partition! never mind i got atrackdog!

Seems you can only copy each of the four db files individually... but copying the entire folder doesn't work.
All that is needed is assets.db
Open the terminal and enter
$ su
# cp /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db /sdcard
Wipe, flash, reboot.
YOU MUST OPEN THE MARKET AND AGREE TO THE TOS BEFORE RESTORING!!!!
Open the market, agree to the TOS, and close the market. Open the terminal and enter
$ su
# cp /sdcard/assets.db /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db
# reboot
Is there a version that is fully functional? I would like a 2.1 ROM, but I'd mainly like to use the 1.6+ apps. Any suggestions?
AFAIK, all of the 2.x ROMs for the CDMA Hero have a working camera. Many are missing Bluetooth, as well.
Personally I'm loving quiet's AOSP 1.6 ROM (see my signature for a link.)
It's only missing Bluetooth. Some people are having problems with SMS or MMS on it, though. Have a browse through the thread.
This is one of the most popular non-1.5 ROMs on here right now, I think.
I don't even use Bluetooth, so I will have to check that out. I just do a nandroid backup before installation, and then flash it right? Will I have to reinstall my apps?
And for the other 2.x ROMs, is Bluetooth the only major issue? What types of things exactly are wrong with them?
I HIGHLY recommend you do a wipe after your nand backup, in which case, yes, you will have to reinstall all of your apps.
You could always do an "adb pull" on /system/app and /system/app-private to save all the apk's for your programs.

Yes that's after you have been rooted. You can reinstall the apps several different ways, apps on the Market, or command-line:
Code:
adb remount
adb install -r NameOfApp.apk
Thanks. I will probably give AOSP a try! Is there anything else I should know before installing?
To backup your SMS (once your rooted), you have to do the following command:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db c:/WhereYouWantToBackupTo
And to put them back after flashing:
Code:
adb remount
adb push c:/WhereYouBackupedTo /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

Wow thanks so much, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I like to keep my texts from ROM to ROM but restoring via the apps on the market take a long time. This is by far the fastest method!
I thought the AOSP 1.6 build was a developer rom? ie, no paid and secured apps will be listed in the market.
Am I wrong in this? Will there be a full 1.6 app market?
I do use bluetooth, but I think that the draw to 1.6 apps would outweigh my bluetooth use..though, not being able to use a hands free device in Oregon is a $140 ticket..hmmm...
Attempted 1.6 AOSP using the information here, but am unable to send or receive SMS. Back to TTG I go.
Any chance you would know where the phone call database is stored?

adb remount
adb pull /data/app/ c:/backup-apps/

hey guys,
how would i go about removing apps from an installed custom rom?
ive tried titanium back... doesnt work, tried pulling the apps from the pack nothing,
ive tried root exploits and it just sends your phone into an almost
"paperweight"
like state,
any further moves i can do to remove various bits ? there as some things i just genuinely dont want.
Telling which rom and which apps might help
[ROM] Pays-ROM HD SPARTA v1.0 [ULTRA LIGHT] [19/NOV/10]
[ROM] Pays-ROM HD SPARTA v1.0 [ULTRA LIGHT]
i cant list the apps i want to remove as im off to work, but can you do some background work into it for me??

I've just discovered there are issues where /system isn't getting wiped correctly prior to a new rom being flashed. Keep getting apps from other roms and such sitting in my /system folder even after a wipe and flash - at this stage I assume CWM is bugged? Could be your issue is related.
nope the ADB coding doesnt work as its almost like there is a PERMANENT R/w lock on the section i need to remove apps from
unfortunately the issues AERNT related, as ive wiped everything before, these apps are pre installed on the ROM. What does me with this is that the root exploit to remove these apps as in Titanium backup ... just turns the phone into a very expensive paperweight till the battery is remove
weather apps (widgets etc,)
Twitter apps , teet and various other bits i want to remove

Get a new rom ???
hmm flash a new rom??this is the most refined rom i can find for DHD.
for that reason its more of a hassle to flash new roms
I would rather crack it, mind you i might be really thick asking this. that code you gave me have i got to get the adb.exe from android SDK and do this via a cmd.exe window on my pc or have i got to do it on my phone via termnial emulator.
how weird!!!... i used to terminal emulator to allow su (I.E to give system SU Permissions and now i can remove the apps ) haha
Shocked!!

Yes from the android sdk. It *should* work from a terminal emulator as well if you run these commands first to mount the /system/app directory as read/write:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
Other option would be to use the root explorer app, it is a paid app though well worth it.

Weird thing is i tried root explorer , and it still wouldnt R/W the app folder... but as i said now solved... slightly weird though that i completely missed that lil bit on the su permissions for the system directly.

Our on the right path so far.. But the way I've always used adb I kinda dragged everything to the tools folder...I have the library and everything else there...try putting it on our tools folder and see what happens if not check the platform tools.. Just drop the map apk and try it out.

Our on the right path so far.. But the way I've always used adb I kinda dragged everything to the tools folder...I have the library and everything else there...try putting it on our tools folder and see what happens if not check the platform tools.. Just drop the map apk and try it out.

I tried,but remount was not successful.Remount permission faild.Show"ADB remountperation faild".Why is this?I've rooted & s-off my device.Also
"adb shell
$ su"
NOT GIVING # istead of $.
Why is that?Even root explorer,i can't move apps to system/app (even mount as R/W)!Why is that?

Hmm.. even root explorer.. that's strange you mean mount R/W to R/O in root explorer..
from my end i first did c:\androidsdk then was able to adb push etc...what i could suggest is wait for the signed version.. am on samsung galaxy t989, am at work, i can't really access nothing right now to check with you...i have my mytouch 4g at home...i know you have root access because you said you were able to backup and uninstall using titanium backup.. so i guess you have root access...but try the mount r/w to r/o and see what happens...

You can make the system r/w.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
i know that's not the exact code but it works just fine for me.

1. You can use Rom manager to backup..

2. Busybox is a great tool for rooted users. It basically give you more linux / Unix based commands that you normally don't have access to. If you Google busybox you can find more info...
