Can I adb restore games from another phone to this? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting this phone right when it comes out and gonna be using it unrooted for awhile. I'm fine with everything except my game data. Too lazy to start all over again so my question is if I can use adb method to backup games from my Galaxy Nexus to the new Nexus 4 when it comes out. Thanks
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel

I'm pretty sure you can scavenge through the APK files and transfer the data from that app to your phone, but then again... you might need root access for that

Yeah, that's why I wanna know if I can do this. If there's other unrooted way of doing this, please tell me

I would also like to do the same thing.

OK, I think I have a solution here lol... Drag the entire app APK from your galaxy nexus and put it on a cloud service (dropbox, drive, etc). Then, go into that cloud service and install the app ( the APK file) and all your data should be transfered with that app.

Do you have to be rooted to get to the apk files initially?

Have you tried it? Because from what I know, there is another file that is stored with all the data and apk file for actual app itself. So by just taking the apk file out, you are basically doing nothing but just installing the apk. That's just what I know.

Anyone else have an issue loading 'My Apps' after updating to this? I can search just fine, but I'm unable to get to my installed apps. I got a notification that 2 updates were ready, and when I went there...I just get a white screen with nada.
EDIT: Nevermind. I cleared data from the app and now is working fine.
Just a Fyi, there hasn't been a over the air update for the market yet.

Yes, delete old vending apk and paste this one. Also clear cache in applications.
All I did was made sure the old market wasn't running. Then I install like any regular apk. That seem to work.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
This is to go from the new to the old, but the method should work fine going from old to new.
I went back to the old market because they new one lagged and frustrated me to no end.
The only real feature they added besides media rentals is that you no longer have to specify why you want to uninstall an app.

If it is set up to do so, once you enter your Google account credentials it will automatically download your apps to the device. Otherwise you can go into the play store under your apps and download them.

I recommend backing up using Titanium Backup, copy the backup file to the Nexus 7 and restore. This way, your data is also restored. Useful for games or apps that do not have backup capabilities. I.e. Generate data file.

If you're not rooted you can't backup with titanium and the 1 app at a time is only for restoring with the free version of titanium.

Yes, Titanium Backup requires root to function in any capacity.
Is there anyway for Titanium Backup Pro (or another Play Store app) to create app+data .apk files that an un-rooted Nexus 7 could install?
ADB backup, perhaps...

download DataSync in the play store...you can transfer apps and data over wifi.
I personally just sync with AppBrain app market. That allows you to automate the process of downloading some what. Not as nice as titanium,buy it is an option that won't force you to root day 1.

can I get the new Samsung keyboard(on Tab 2 7.0 with 4.04) for my Galaxy Nexus?

I'm really loving the new Samsung white keyboard on my Tab 2 7.0 with ICS 4.04.
Is there anyway I can install this keyboard on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus or

Yeah, it should just require you to pull the APK and associated lib and put them on any other device that you want to use it on.

try sticking them in the same folder you found them in. Install the apk after sticking it on the new phone. it will have to be an odexed rom. And don't forget to set permissions
I have read elsewhere that Samsung apps need the touchwiz framework in order to function, but worth a try

Yes. You need to have a PC. It is to be done in recovery mode IIRC.
Good luck with the rooting.

Sadly a PC is required with this method, but after reading all the root threads on here, I decided it was the easiest method and worked a treat for many
Just don't make the same error I did... don't connect the tablet to the dock and then USB on the dock to the PC, use the use charging cable supplied with the charger and connect the tablet to the PC via it, otherwise Windows wont see it...
Make sure you have the drivers installed too!
OK but how exactly u do this...I already downloaded the zip file on PC and pluged tablet...it installed drivers but last one ...says waiting for input and I got some options saying 1.locate and install driver
2.ask me again later 3. Don't show this message again

Best to read the full thread I linked to, but make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the tf300 under developer options in settings...
From what I remember, I just unzipped the downloaded file to a folder, opened the folder and ran the .bat and it did the rest.
To get the correct drivers installed, I just installed Asus sync from the Asus support site, but make sure it is not running when you run the .bat.
I had the same issue, I think I installed the Android Development Kit and rebooted a couple times and it just decided to work after that. Soo, hope that helps?

Long story short, it makes the stock browser a lot faster, by using ram as cache instead of the disk.

There might be some system UI tweaks to get it into the "Settings" app. Perhaps you can install it and create a custom homescreen shortcut to enable/disable?
