Are you rooted? Because if not, I can only help by backing up apk's of your apps to your computer.

Try Carbon app. It allows you to back up apps and their settings without root.
Here's a link to the Play Store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=carbon+backup

I didn't like the fact that you have to pay for the premium version. Storage is through USB on the N4 otherwise.

Backup using Carbon, then transfer the backup files to your PC. Then when you're ready, copy them back and restore.
Besides, what's so bad about having to pay a few bucks for such a great app? All devs work hard to make the apps/mods/ROMs/kernels, etc that they do!

cannot download apps from playstore

I tried to look for this problem, but couldn't find anything relevant...
finally got my unlocked nexus 4 in the mail today!
was super excited, cut my existing t-mobile sim card (I'm on a contract with them) and was able to connect to their network.
the problem is that no matter what network i am on (wifi, 4g, 2g) i cannot download any apps from the play store. I click on 'install', it brings up the permissions window, i click on 'accept and download' and it tells me "[app_name] could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]."
Also can't update any apps...
I am extremely confused.. has anyone encountered this problem?

Does it still do it when you try to install something else?
You could be like me and not have Facebook anymore

It is your nexus saying screw Facebook...if I was a nexus 4 I wouldn't want Facebook on me either.

I am with djwyman. Don't install FB app on your phone please. It is a piece of ****e software. Instead use your browser, chrome or Firefox. Works rather well.

OP, I do not know the source of that error, but from the screenshot it looks like you are using a custom rom. Try deleting some cwm backups. If that fails, do a factory reset and start over.

Extract save files from backup

So I was playing final fantasy dimensions and my phone froze. It would not boot up no matter what I did. Mind you I had 15 hours into the game. I made a backup of the ROM just incase I could get the save data. Can anyone direct me on doing that?

Use titanium backup to extract the apk and data and restore it.

How do I do that from my backup? It wasn't a titanium backup. It was a cwr backup.

Hi,
It's an app: Titanium Backup.
I know about titanium backup but I don't know how to access my backup from cwr in tibu.

Then you should have been more specific.
In the main menu, under "Special Backup/Restore" There is an option to extract from a nandroid.

Reminds me of the old days when you'd be way into your Nintendo game and the cartridge would take a crap. God that sucked.
I'm so glad I did a backup. I was thinking I would have to use my desktop to extract the save then manually place it in my android files.

Titanium backup is so worth buying the pro version of. I can't tell you how many times it has saved my life.
I got the same bug when I was playing, and did a backup, then I used nandroid manager to get back my data/sms/wifi setting

[Q] How to get emotions for Instagram?

How do I get all these cool emotions I always see on instagram? Is it an iPhone only thing? I'm running on stock ROM and I'm not rooted. Also I use stock Google keyboard.

It's called "emoji" and you must have a rom that supports emoji in order to use them and no it's not icrap specific

[Q] Important backups?

Hi
i have now rooted my D802, easy as hell.
I wonder if theres some important backups i need to do. I have backed up me EFS with SAManager (3 modem files, modem, modemst1, modemst2, all img) and transfered them to a safe place.
Is there something else i need to take a backup off?
Weird, my EFS backup has only the last two files you mentioned, not the first one.

Yes of course but if something break like ui you may need to restored that even if you don't plan to system mod?
