Sorry, a noob here. I've saved the apps on my N7 unrooted 16GB to my computer using Nexus 7 Toolkit 4.0 I'd like to know if I'll be able to transfer the backup to another unrooted N7 ? TIA.
Of course you can.

Any apps you have installed/purchased will be available on the new N7 when you sign in to your Google account and Play store. Just install from Play.

but wouldn't it take me more time to get those apps installed on my new N7, compared to doing a restore from the backup file ?

It took about 48 hours before I got the confirmation that my drive was ready.
What's funny is, it let me upload a file the first day, but I couldn't access it until today.

Same here it took about 48hrs but well worth it 5GB of free cloud space. Add that on top of my 5GB of drop box space... sweet!

And knowing Google, it will increase as time goes by. I remember when Gmail only had 1Gb of storage. Luckily I got in on Box's 25Gb free promotion so I won't be needing cloud storage for a while...although, more never hurts.
[Edit:] It was 50Gb not 25

I got Box's 50 gigs but I don't like not having a desktop client without paying. I got in on skydrive's 25 gigs. I like skydrive but no real android app kind of sucks.

I wish it would let me designate a folder on y SD card, or save to SD card like like drop box does. I've been using dropbox to transfer files and .zips since I lost my data cable.

Since my Fire is not rooted, I installed the Drive app on my Droid-X phone and then created an apk file and transferred it to my Fire using Dropbox.
The Drive app installed ok on the Fire but when I try to run it, it says "Cannot find any Google accounts, exiting application" and then it quits. No way to get into the settings for the app.
I'm not sure how to get around this. I have my Gmail setup on the Fire. What other Google account would it be looking for?

I think you need Google Framework Services for it to work.

Every time I try this I receive the error message "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care."
using this on pc for a long time very good and helpful
when u want to backup ur apps pics or videos google drive is the best option with better privacy
Tried something different... I installed the framework, and then rebooted the fire. Then I installed the drive and it worked.
The easiest way to fix this problem would be to root

I've purchased a fair number of applications I'd like to use on my N7 that are listed by the Play Store as incompatible, particularly Machinarium (which I'd really hoped to get into).
Of course a simple Google search of [application name] + apk + [rar/zip/mediafire/other obvious piracy related search terms] will likely get me what I want, but I'd really prefer not to go that route due to providence and, frankly, the fact that I paid for this, I'll figure out if it work or not.
Definitely have the SDK installed, definitely not very great at using it. Any help is well appreciated by my rain drenched weknd.
Are you rooted on your other Android device? You can use root explorer to pull the apks, then just dropbox/email them to the Nexus.
So... Download the app to a compatible device, go into the folder where they keep the app data, copy the apk go your sd card, and then email it or upload to dropbox.

Nice. I most definitely am. Cheers.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
No problem! You should find most apks in the/data/app folder.
Some are hidden other places, so you may need to "search" the file name.

You don't even need to be rooted. You can backup apps with astro file manager and then find the apps in the backups folder and send them to dropbox or however else you wand to send them

I ran airdroid on the phone and accessed it via chrome on the tablet to get a load of apps. Worked well just ticked the ones I wanted and downloaded a zip file.

Every time I load up Google wallet it says unsupported device. Will it still work if I want to make a payment at a store?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
yes it will work
Yes. I did it last night.
I thought that you need to temporarily unroot your phone in order to use Google Wallet?
No, there's no problem with root. It'll just say unsupported device, but Google Wallet works just like normal.
Yup, you can use it with no problems. Ive used it more than 10 times when i went on my christmas shopping. Its so awesome. Cashier's face is priceless when they see you pull out the phone to pay. Lol.

Nope, that would be renting / buying videos from the Play Store.
I deleted my main google account from my phone because I no longer use it and I'm using a different gmail account. That account is on my phone and trying to connect everything in the Android Play Store to it, but none of my apps are connecting to it in the Play Store.
How do I connect all the Play Store apps to my other account? Thx!

You probably want to contact Google and have them move the apps over. Don't think there's another way

No... just off of my phone is all.
Just got off the phone with them and they said, due to copyright reasons, they cannot transfer over the apps to the new account. So back on my phone is my old account, BUT I will have all syncing for it turned off.
I appreciate your help!!
Good to know. Copyright reasons... Ugh

Corrected when I called Google they said that there's no way to do this because of some copywriting issue. That doesn't make sense at all since they have verified I am the same owner of both gmail accounts. So I just put my old gmail back on the phone and turned off everything from syncing so that I can just use it for the Play Store.

I had a similar issue, and I'm not sure exactly how it got fixed. Here's what I did.
1. Factory reset
2. Setup phone with new gmail
3. Add old account
4. Go to my apps in the play store and select the old gmail.
5. Download all apps
6. Remove old account from phone.
I followed these steps on my phone and all apps paid and free work fine with my new gmail.

I am a kindle fire 2 user and the one in the play store force closes right away. I've had luck in similar situations using nexus 7 app.
But the nexus 7 doesn't ship with voice installed. Getting the apk from it wouldn't be any different than an apk from any other device that downloaded it from the play store.

yeah you're right, I looked it up, the apk is universal. Some apps vary by device though.

I don't need it anymore, the APK is universal for google voice. But some are not. For example the directv app I downloaded from the play store on my kindle wouldn't work but the one I got from a nexus 7 user did.
