Easy way to get your apps back in a new android version!

I'm really irritated by the fact, that when I install a new android version, that I always have to install all my apps app by app.
It might sound like a logic and stupid solution, but in the Android map, there's a submap called AndroidApps(or Android Apps).
Put all your apps you want to have on your new android version, and you have them back with first start!
Let me know if it works with all the android version. For the Mdeejay Desire Z 1.1 version it worked!
And excuse me for my bad English, still learning!

I already know that,and yes that will work. But i use titanium backup for that,because it also backups the system settings for the apps. So you do not have to configure them again

mybackup pro also works very well and is a lot easier for begginers than titanuim backup.
but tb is a brilliant backup app and works very well for me

Ok, so where do you get these apps again? Are they apps?

On the market,they are not free,but it is every penny worth of it.

Yes, As I said you can download your apps from another site so you have the apk's. And then put it in the folder.

I recently upgraded my Android build from MDeejay's HD v3.4 to 3.6 and left all folders on the SD card from the previous build, just replacing the Android folder and all my apps restored themselves once I opened the Market. First time I've left all the program folders on when changing versions but will be doing this going forward as found titanium backup can corrupt some versions and isn't recommended with some. Takes 2mins to re-sign in to apps.

Titanium backup free works for me, but I believe if you keep the data.img when you change Roms (a new one is created on first boot), all your apps and settings will carry across.
Worked for me.

YouTube update wont install

Im using the miui rom and already tried uninstalling YouTube via titanium backup.. Whats the deal?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Got the same issue running CM6. It says the app is not signed correctly

Delete it from system/app then adb push it. Everyone had the same issue when gmail and car home came to the market.
New YouTube is stunning though. Hint to what Gingerbread will be like?
Sent from my HTC Desire

But why is it? Because of the custom rom? Also, how do i do the adb thing? Could you be more precise?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think its because its originally stored in system/app and after we update, it tries to store on your SD, without properly deleting the system version.
Something like that anyway

Any of you having network problems with the new youtube app?
I keep getting a network error, error 400 I think it is. Its not because I don't have internet, because I have no problem using the browser or market. Any know solution?

Uninstalling in titanium backup reboot than install in market

To use Widgets; apps must be stored in phone memory. Once you update YouTube goto settings>applications>manage applications select YouTube and move to phone.

A Solution
I had the same problem - tried installing and got package incorrectly signed, solved it by uninstalling YouTube with Titanium Backup, restart, and then installing from the market.
If i tried installing straight after the uninstall it failed - meaning restart is a must.
Using OpenDesire 4.0.36.

I have manage to install new ver.
first delete from system/app/youtube.apk than also
in data/app/youtube.apk

& now download new Youtube from market or if you tray to install

Okay im really getting pissed off from this sh#t! i have tried EVERYTHING thats been explained here but it just doesnt work, and here's why i think: when i delete the youtube apk with root explorer and restart, its there again! it comes back :S and the installation is always unsuccesfull!
please please PLEASE! what can i do about this? im already sick and tired enough to just throw a new rom on there

@ mod: sorry for the language, please close the thread im just gonna download the new miui rom with the new youtube cooked in.

install worked no problems for me, deleted youtube.apk from /system/app/ using root explorer.. rebooted and installed from the market with no issues

I can't find YouTube app on market, it just doesnt show up!!
When i go to "m.google.pt/youtube/" it says that my device is not compatible with youtube... lol
I have a Vodafone 845 that come with stock youtube player... lolz....this sucks :s

[Q] HTC Evo Shift rooted Roms?!?!?

I cant seem to find a decent rom for my newly rooted evo shift. was wondering if anyone has found a good solution.. i saw on other forums we have NFX's rom and another stock rom( which is mis-labled as a rom) I would just like a rooted rom with all of sprints bloatware removed.. Nothing too facny, maybe even with OC, let me know what you guys find!

Why don't you remove the bloatware yourself? Then flash bcnice's OC kernel.
^ Shift Faced

The easiest way for you to remove the bloatware would be done using titanium backup. Its available in the market, I recommend the pro version.
powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...

i am running bcnices Desire Z port, along with his kernel. The desire z rom offers ALOT more than the shift rom. it still has the bloatware (anyone know how to remove that?) but its much nicer.

Buy and use Titanium Backup, or open the rom with winzip (Don't extract) and remove the apk's before installing the rom.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but hasn't it been said that removing the bloat completely isn't safe and that the better solution is to rename the .apk files?? I don't remember the exact method of doing so nor do I recall what we were to rename the files but I do recall seeing something to that extent.
That was in the Epic forum though as well if that makes a difference.

Renaming the files would do nothing. You can remove the bloatware with no issues.

how do you use titanium backup to remove apps? I got all of them almost gone except like sprint zone and nfl and stuff like that cuz i cant find the apk listed..

HTC EVO Shift ROMS
Hello everyone I am very new to android platform.

About 2 of them app(ereader.apk and widget.apk),as i know,the ereader.apk is a primary and most importantm,whether the widget working, it not influence on system .
About ROM,it is desire hd ROM for HD2(no offical version),android2.3.3,mix sense2.1 and sense3.0,nor pure sense2.1.i think them maybe reason.
Dear "htccraze",can you support me a good ROM,which can be running ereader correctly(if contain sense3.0 is best).thanks

I will when I can get by a computer but i won't be by one for atleast a few days.

Ok,thanks so nuch.i am waiting........

Im not 100% on this but you could try either this ROM or this ROM. i couldn't find much info or any at all if it had it working or it didnt. i would think though if it wasn't working they would of listed it somewhere in the thread. If you still dont have any luck trying to find a ROM then i would check out this webpage. It lists all the ROMs that are posted on XDA in a much easier way to find them. it also gives some nice (but short) info on each ROM. you can also click "show all android builds/ROMs which will give you a lot of ROMs to look through.
as always double check to make sure the ROM you flash is right for your phone.​
neither of the ROMs listed above are sence 2.0 but if you want to try this ROM but im not sure if it has it working or not. again i didnt see if it was or if it wasn't. if you find the apk you could always try to place it inside system/apps to see if it would work.
oops. not sure how to fix it if you already tried but i can say that some ROMs it just wont work on even if you try that so maybe the problem is with your ROM and not how your placing it in system/apps.

no apps market

hi
just got a new htc desire hd
and there is no android market on the phone
how can i install it to the phone
thanks

Are you definitely sure that it isn't there? Considering that it does come installed stock.
Otherwise, install it from this link: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-base/source/browse/trunk/system/app/Vending.apk?r=239
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

You really should go back to wherever you bought it from and ask for an explanation.
If that doesn't work out for you, a simple way to install it without connecting it to your computer would be to install ROM Manager and then install Google Apps from there. I personally would take the new Market from the XDAForums.
Hey, if you are going to install the market, it might as well be the new one.

How can he install ROM Manager easily without the Market, and what use would that be? I've merely provided the apk, that's all there is to it.
To the OP, remember to allow installing from unknown sources under Settings > Applicationa
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

I see your point.
I was just assuming that if he didn't have the market, he probably didn't have some g apps either.
Doing it either way is easy enough, and in any case, and if you're going to install through an apk, then you might as well take the new one (that said, I haven't checked out your link as yet).

Does ROM Manager give a flashable package or a bunch of apks? Because again, if he isn't rooted, he can't flash zips either...knowing ROM Manager, I'm presuming they are zips.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

ROM Manager deals with installing Google Apps the same way it deals with any other ROM. It is a pretty useful thing tto hhave, especially because a lot of ROMs ship without Google apps.
So yeah, I'm guessing that you would have to root.

Sugggest you back to shop to ask for an explain. By default it comes with HTC Sense and all Google apps. If you sure it is not there, maybe the shop flash you another customized rom?

as far as know its the standard rom the phone came with
its wasn't root etc.
its not a UK phone its from Kuwait but it has English etc on it
i was wondering if it doesn't have apps market as standard in that country??
i got it online so would mean posting back, emailed them and that dont understand why it didnt have the market on.
