use something like Astro or Titanium backup to restore/manually install it
i tryed going to the apk with astro and root explorer, still says not installed.
also tryed putting in system/app and installing it

Try under Settings, Applications - check Unknown Sources, under Development check Allow mock.
Can also try Sideload Wonder Machine.
My AT&T had locked out non Market apps, took some time to get right combination.
try installing via PC using ADB command in cmd.

It seems to me, MyPhoneExplorer can do both things - I mean backup/restore and app install.

can it restore from a backup that was created with restore and back up though?

Maybe - it depends on the backup structure. Never tried complete backup, but it allows to chose its own format or vCard or vCalendar formats. So - possible, but I doubt, since it creates an image of whole phone file system - system and user data both.
I think, you can try a trick - to restore original backup/restore package by MyPhoneExplorer and then restore what you need from the backup you have. Original programs you can find in special thread 2.1 System Apps - In Case You've Deleted Them... or just try to download through your phone browser the newest original version of backup/restore from m.sonyericsson.com/backup.
Hi,
I backup my system with nandroid using CWMR mode. I save it into my computer, then I wipe down my SD card. If I want to use CWMR to restore that backup, where do I copy the file to so that it will be recognized in recovery mode?
Thank you,

Cwm backups be copied in /data/media/clockworkmod/backups, you can pull the data using "adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backups"

Hi,
I already pull the backup.
My question is where do I put them back into the sd card so it will be recognized by CWM in recovery mode. Putting in back in the same folder won't get recognized

I use ES to see the folder but cant see it. Even though it suppose to have some other backup from rom manager there. Should I create a new folder?

What about when we create backup using CWMR in recovery mode. I can see them through rom manager. They have a similar path /mnt/shell/.. but using ES explorer I can't access them anywhere. Is there any way I can pull that out?

In Rom Manager, go to manage and restore backups, from there, there is an option to download your backup, using a browser from your pc

I tried that but I gave up.
Bought the license on play store but not able to activate. End up pirate apk from google, still doesnt work. Is there a way I can pull it out like nandroid backup?

Thank you. Do you happen to use titanium backup?
If I back up app+user data on my current rom, and let say later i do a factory reset and flash to another rom. Will the titanium back up still be there for me to restore later? If so, will I get the same app, and all user date like sms, picture onto my new rom?

Yes, u can restore your app data as long as you don't format your sdcard partition, to be safe, you can just copy the whole TB folder to your pc.
For sms, you will need to restore system data, which is not recommended when changing roms, maybe just select sms and restore from TB.
Pictures will still be available, again, to be safe, just copy everything to your pc, just in case.
Hey everyone,
I'm using CWM recovery.
When I make a nandroid backup, it gets saved to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod.
Is there a way to change this folder location? I would like it to be in sdcard0 so I can access it over USB easily. I know I can use ADB to pull from the existing location, but its more convenient to just plug in a USB cable and be good to go.
It used to be sdcard0 earlier, I'm not sure what changed it exactly. I think it happened when I installed ROM manager. I've uninstalled it since then.
Anyone?

since 4.2.2, backup is located there (or in data/media)
you can copy it to sdcard0 with a root explorer.
but dont move it from its original directory, to be able to restore it.
I am trying to copy the contents of my Titanum backup folder to my computer by connecting my phone (LG G2 Running KitKat) to my pc via the usb cable that came with the phone and then enabling MTP transfer mode which works for the most part but when I explore the Titanum backup folder from my pc, there are no files visible despite the fact that they are clearly visible when exploring the same folder from the phone itself so my question is what do I need to do to make these files show up on my computer as well so I can complete the transfer ? I am running windows 7 pro and have the correct drivers for the device installed on my computer and have root access it that matters at all.
TIA,
MTCell
Well that's something with tibu and what you need to do to get them to show up is move/copy them to another folder on your phone(sometimes I move emu from the new folder to another folder to get them to appear on pc)
Sent from my LG-D800 running stock kk, rooted with philz using XDA app

Thanks, I just copied and pasted them to a new temp folder on my phone called "TIBU" and the files are now showing up in windows and transferring as I type this. I can then just delete the temp folder and have a copy on my PC as well as the original backup on my phone. Silly extra step, but it works. Thanks again.

I'm rooted and I'm trying to move my titanium backup folder to my windows 10 PC, but it wont let me copy and move the folder. I can move other files on my phone to my PC but the titanium folder I'm trying to move gets an "unspecified error". Does anyone else have this problem or know what I'm doing wrong? I'm forced to backup to my google drive which is taking forever.
I use adb pull to get mine to PC...i.e. adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup TitaniumBackup
use winrar, store the whole folder in rar format and move it to pc, that wht I usually do.
I'll have to try that. Thank you guys for your suggestions
