I'm in urgent need of some space, and as I've stripped a lot of system apps out I have moved a load of store apps to system. Is this OK? They work fine.

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.

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.

Thats a great idea lol...
I have all different Android devices, but I keep one stock GB and ICS phone to download apps and send them to the others
I need more storage.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe something like Titanium Backup could find the data file and back it up. I'm not sure how many people have tried to backup OUYA game data.

With such small storage space you need to be able to save your fills if you. delete a game. More storage is what we need.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Isn't there already a solution (app) that can move data files off to a HDD?
I haven't tried Titanium Backup on Ouya but with root access, it should work. Google has support for cloud saves but without the framework I don't think this is an option.
DataSync+ requires root and backs up data to the cloud. It also will auto search your network for other DataSync devices and allow syncing (so you can keep multiple devices in sync).
If you have a large drop box or box.net storage this is probably your best option.

I need to know if there a place to find just the save data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
this is more game dependent. I know you can with GTA3 and GTAVC. The files are in the android/data directory and are composed of the three files. The large extra files are stored in the android/ogg directory. You just need to start a game after reinstalling, than can replace with your old game saves.
Other games, you'll have research or experiment.
Some games have where you can save to the cloud and sync, such ad Dead Trigger. This allows to play across multiple devices easily.
Gta3 is side loaded that doesn't help with things like sonic or a bards tale. I just thought they would have a update for this and to make more storage. You can even go to a list of the games you own so you know what you have.

I was wondering if there is a way other than either disabling or freezing system apps. If I remove them, it causes settings to fc. This has held true since the 4.4 update. I usually always get ride of apps to free up more space, RAM, ect...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
As I know you can only disable system apps(as I do) but they are still there and without root you can not completely delete or modify system apps, which is basicly leaves you with a custom rom.
If it's force closing when you disable them then the best thing you can do is just install a custom Rom and kernel. If you like stock then I suggest Nexus 5 Experience with Franco kernel.
I use an app called systemapp remover. In 4.3, maybe theres an update.

You can use any file explorer(Solid File Explorer) to uninstall system apps. Titanium Backup to freeze them.
Hey guys sorry for not responding sooner. The problem is that I am rooted and running a custom ROM. There are still certain thing I get ride of (NFC, or calendar storage for example) that I just never use. I've tried on stock, PSX, and Purity with the same results. Remember I'm uninstalling them not freezing or disabling.

Try uninstaling foreign keyboards , wallpapers e.t.c. Also I have 100mb+ of system space free so I guess your phone is similar so why do you need more. I can understand deleting system apps to get more free ram and space on cheap budget phone's with little of both. The likelihood of you needing to free up either on this phone is slim at best my guess never. Just my thoughts as I am interested in why your doing this.

Honestly, I just always have. I have about the same free space as you. I just like having the option of taking the things off of my phone that I don't want on there. What if I did want bone stock, I would be stuck with all that bloat wear. I just always considered it as one of the reasons for rooting your phone.

I know where you're coming from as its something I have always done until getting this phone. Don't no what the problem is as all apps I uninstall have been o.k. I always freeze first to make sure there's no surprises then uninstall. You could try greenify from play and put them to sleep if having problems. That said I have no answer to you're specific problem.
Just keep them if its causing problems and enjoy you're phone knowing it can handle the extra unwanted apps.
You could always flash a vanilla android rom ( there's a few about ) with banks minimum gapps and that should do the trick. Just install the apps you need
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, I'm running Purity with the very minimal banks gapps and the system apps I don't use disabled. It doesn't really bother me. I had asked the same question when 4.4 was first released and I guess figured there was a work around by now. No biggy. Thanks for your incite:thumbup:

Hey guys. Is this normal for me to have multiple apps?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I haven't seen that before. But they are different versions so it's possible. I'd freeze the older version and see if you run into problems
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
that is *kind-of* normal.
All pre-installed apps are installed in "system/apps" folder and cannot be removed unless rooted. Then all updates are stored in the "data/apps" folder along with all user installed apps. This is done so normal users "not-rooted" can delete all their installed apps and updates to get back "stock".
Most apps that list your installed apps, like titanium backup, or the "system settings > applications" normally take this into account and only show you one version. What-ever crap program you took a screenshot of, obviously does not take that into account and is confusing you. I see "safe2remove" beside many of the items in that screenshot, I do not recogize that application you are using. Just some garbage app as far as I am concerned now.
do not freeze either version
I'm looking at system cleanup
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can delete the older version, but you have to remove the app manually or you'll need to reinstall. Look at the YouTube app in the attached pics. Also, system cleanup is a great app.
I have two play stores, also two Google play services

The 4.82 update for SystemCleanup fixes the issue of apps showing twice
Hi, are there any good apps/method that blocks apps from autostarting?
Try Startup Manager by IMOBLIFE INC. on the play store. I've used it in the past, but Marshmallow is pretty optimized. Do you have a rogue app chewing away at your battery?
