Hi, need help here, understand the titanium backup unable to restore 2.1 backup to froyo, so how do I make a update.zip to fresh install all the apk that I have via recovery mode?
Thanks

+1 for this.
With the official Froyo, supposedly, coming out anytime now I'd love to know how I can backup all my apps.

I wouldn´t remove apps just rename then. Cause Acer looks for the apps when you want to update. Then you get massive problems - just have a look to a lot of topics here...

use search please

I would listen to corn3d79, don't erase the apps. Read around the forums

youre almost better off using PM (android package manager) in a terminal or adb shell to disable or freeze the apps you dont want. you can also do this in apps like titanium backup.
this way, you're not renaming files and later forgetting to name them back to the original files, and it'll keep your 'frozen' settings after updates.

There's advantages to freezing/disabling apps using Titanium Backup or Package Manager (built into Android system). The first one is that its built-in function and you do not have to alter filenames and have to remember to rename them back later. Secondly, I don't think it affects what apps show up in the market place. Some apps require special permissions from certain things like PHONE or CAMERA, etc. If you disable it, I believe it won't affect the marketplace, however if you rename the file, the system doesnt think its there period and will think your tablet is incompatible with the apps.
note: this really only applies to people who are renaming phone.apk, etc.

Dont do this when decrapfying your toy!

hi guys! Im new on the forum
Ok, i rooted my galaxy tab 8.9. Then i tried decrapfying my tab, including some system apps: talkback, talk, email, exchange services and ap and stock widgets.
Everything seemed has gone smooth, except now, the Social hub cashes!! seems like it tries to access email database. Can you guys help me and send me the email.apk and email.odex files please? I think the files from both 10.1 or 8.9 work as well.
I also hope that noone after me will delete email.apk as well Cheers!

lol you deleted email.apk? nice
Are you rooted? Did you make a nandroid backup?

NEVER delete any system apps, just freeze them with Titanium Backup, a much faster and easier to recover option.

Are you not able to re-flash it?

It's all down to individual needs - I always delete the Samsung Apps app, never bother backing it up because I will never want or need to use it.

As far as i know, there is no ROM or firmware for galaxy 8.9 available yet, so i cant reflash now.
I also received from a friendly forums member the email.apk file, but i couldnt install the app (in the files manager i clicked on the apk and selected install but it ended with a "installation failed" message).
Is there any experienced member who can help me?

Just use root explorer to move it into your system/app folder
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

no, i have tried it, it doesnt help, since it's not installation.

Do a full wipe and start over I guess...and dont forget to do a nandroid backup this time

but how can i do a full wipe since theres no ROM available for 8.9 yet? Or im i missing something?

Best I can do is a copy of the email.apk off my 10.1, good luck with your Tab.

yeah put it into system app then try to install it.
If not, you can try opening stock recovery and wiping through that.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! IT WORKS! with all your help, literally. I used a version from 10.1 (a version from 8.9 didnt work) put it to system/app and then in root explorer selected install... Although it threw a message about installation failed, the installation actually worked! Lol interesting! Thank you guys very much. I think im gonna stay at these forums for a long time

This is exactly why I got a 10.1 instead of 8.9.... I was afraid I'd botch something before help was readily available. Great to see things went well anyway thanks to the folks here.

SEC Email FC's after removing bloat

Can anyone please upload My Magazine 1.0.0" & "My Magazine - Here and now 1.1.0" apk files? with the help of some others here I have narrowed my problems with the stock email app force closing upon clearing a notification or attempting to open the app, down to being caused by my having removed these apps thinking they were just bloat. However, it seems they are being called by the email app and are the source of my problem. Thanks to whomever comes to the rescue!

looking at mine i see Magazines.apk, MagazinesHome.apk but not what you listed.
i was looking in system/app

I think that's them, since I deleted them I don't have anything to reference so I could have the name off a bit. If you don't mind please upload?
Thanks

lol, I just did the same thing. I accidently removed mymagazine stuff and getting stock email app FC. So, I had to remove both email and exchange app, too. However, I know what was the problem now, can you upload secemail.apk and exchange.apk (I can't remember the name exactly) from Note 3 for me?
I will really appreciate.

Hi Folks:
Grateful return to Android OS....I like to tinker and had a tablet I learn some skills on. Got rid of APPLE GARBAGE never again.
Re-learning Android skills.
So, I like some others removed MyMagazine and that POS Flipboard among **many** items...
All is very well on my sleek and clean Note 3...love it!
BUT I have the same email notification crash as everyone here
2 questions:
1) How do I load these files again? I forgot!! (embarassing!!). Odin?
2) If I load the 2 securemail and 2 exchange files, do I have to re-load the MYMagazine file again as well? I would really prefer NOT TO if I don't have to. I really detest and resent manufacturers putting their junk onto phones in the first place...
Hell, I remove most Google Garbage as well...and Verizon's stuff too.
Never had a problem until now.
Thanks for your time and assistance!

Firstly, sorry for not being able to link yet. Which is why copy paste:
"Installing apps on Android is relatively straightforward with the Android Market. You search for an app, select it and click install. However, there are often times when you may want to install a newly released app or an app that is not available in the Android Market. In these cases you will usually have to manually download and install an .apk file. An .apk file behaves in a similar manner to a “.exe” file on Windows, you need to copy it to your device and run it. Here are some ways that you can manually install an application without going through the market."
(-source: maketecheasier.com/install-applications-without-the-market/)
"WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution."

Can you download files from LAN to selected folder, modify it, and send it again? or you can, using eg QuickPic sort images to different folders?
Can you use download files, and send files to different folders? eg apps to apps, music to music.?
Or you can using ID3 Tag editor download and modify music data/covers?

Give it a rest. We get it. The changes to external SD access have inconvenienced you. The changes are no surprise, so you shouldn't have upgraded if it was so critical to you to continue having full read/write access with every app.
Either use one of the fixes suggested in this thread or in the other thread you're complaining repeatedly in, or downgrade to 4.3.

its not about me, what about other people that see update, install it and find out that they cant use 50% of their apps? did you thought about that? and some people cant root, or dont know how.
I just use 4.3 but others update their XZ and would just find out that their phones doesn't work like before and just call XZ stupid phone and sell it, they gonna buy different phone and find out it again and they gonna see how google mess with idea of freedom of Android.
Its like some car producer would say that you cant use your back seats, and lock back doors, how you would feel about that?

This is a development site. Most people here are perfectly capable of rooting to workaround issues like this or even of checking critical changes in Android updates before blindly updating. I posted about this change in KitKat a few times in the large thread about the update that you've participated in, for a start.
Repeatedly complaining after you've been told how to fix your issue is doing nothing but pointlessly flooding threads in any case. Please stop.

Dude I can do anything I like and there is no error .. So if you really dont know why its not working for you simply just downgrade to 4.3 rather just thinking of others , if they like the phone they will keep it and if they dont then obviously everyone has their own choice to sell it or buy it. So please stop complaining and take some time to fix it if its not working for you then just simply downgrade ... AND CHILL

Could we just convert an app like solid explorer to a system app to regain full control? Is that why file commander still works, or is it something else? I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet and try this out.
