In the General Topic. I'm pretty sure you may use MyBackup app for it but you must be rooted in the case you aren't :good:

Questions go in the Q and A thread. Kennyglass123 will move this to the correct thread.

There are a few good backup apps out there... titanium backup pro..(the paid version) works really well.

I use the samsung account backup......if you go into settings-->accounts-->samsung, go into the backup/restore options ...click on your account there will be options
enable "sync internet bookmarks"
otherwise chrome is a good alternative, although the browser is very buggy IMO

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

Removing Live Wallpaper(s)

Probably a big NEWBIE ?.....
How do you delete a Live Wallpaper(s)?....
I installed 2 I want to delete off the tab....
Searched the web and didnt find much...
I guess the steps are to delete the files, just not sure where they are and
the file extension.....
I installed one today from the nexus s. It shows up in titanium backup and you can remove them there. If its from the market you can uninstall from that too. Hope it helps!

Thanks, I'll give TB a try....
The ones I want to delete were installed from apk's....
You are 100% correct on the ones from the Market...
Ironically, I'm trying to get live wallpapers to work on my gTablet. Can't seem to find ones that work. But still trying.
You can uninstall any user apps via Settings -- Applications (just choose the app in question and choose "uninstall").

Sprint apk's

I hate to ask this, but a while back I saw a thread with download links for sprint apps. Somehow when I went to nebula (awesome rom) titanium wouldn't restore sprint apps. Every search I try won't bring this thread up and I'm sure someone knows where it is. Please advise
Thanks!

If you need one that's EXT4-compatible, ptfdmedic has it on his blog. It's in the list on the left-hand side.

There's a download link for Sprint apps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907308
First post, halfway down. Not sure if they are apk or a zip etc though.

Ah, maybe that's why Titanium couldn't restore them. Didn't consider the partition compatibility.
Thanks!
Any apk will work on an ext4 partition,it the update.zip that needs to be compatible if your using cwm3. So titanium should work even if you backed it up on an rfs system,Im pretty sure of this.

OK, that's good to know. I just download the EXT4 version even though it may not be different at all. The three I installed worked fine either way.

Cleaning up bloatware.....

I just finished rooting and installed root explorer and was wondering if there is any unneeded extras I can remove?
Thanks

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.

Sorry can't buy PRO version of TB.
Try other Launchers or install "Uninstaller or Debloater" apps. Make sure to back up the deleted app in case of something.
search for "pull up from fake jap" - this was included in my ROM X-Note and works perfectly, you might find a standalone version
do not freeze/uninstall mymag, otherwise the stock sms and e-mail apps will force close from time to time
hope i could help

There is another utility at the playstore called "Root Uninstaller" which
has options to freeze apps too, this is the free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free
Good luck!
I download this awhile ago and I recently flashed it using mobile odin on latest tw rom nf4 and it still works.
It removes the swipe up action.
Original thread

Oh I wish I've read more before deleting MyMagazine... after rooting with CF & Odin 3.09.
I was unable to restore it using SuperSU, so I tried to copy MagazineHome.apk & .odex to /system/app , but it didn't help. I tried to launch the MagazineHome.apk and install it, but it couldn't install. (i found those filez under the Verizon Note 3 threads... maybe this caused it ? )
or even worse... is Knox causing this?
I'd love to get my Stock email working again without crashing everytime when new mail is coming.
Help anyone?
You need to give permission to magazine.apk and reboot

There is a 'pullup' application made by fakejap. Guess it has been later integrated into official TouchWiz itself by Samsung.
