i have my go go rescue midnight bowling and so much other games. and every time i update my rom i gotta start over. so if you can help me out and point me in the right way to pull my game data and push it back. thanks.

adb pull /data/data/(look for keyword related to game, its the process name) Gamedata
pulls the data for a certain application and you can push it back with
adb push Gamedata/* /data/data/
assuming all your gamedata is in the folder Gamedata

then adb shell
then type that^^

So it would be
Adb install /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk
Or
Adb push /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk
if it's on your sdcard, go to the terminal and type
cp /sdcard/blahblah.apk /system/sd/app_s

SOLVED - Pull an APK from unrooted phone

I have a Motorola Cliq, Also a G1. I was wondering. Is there a way to pull an APK from an unrooted phone? I can "adb shell" into the phone and look at it's contents. I see the APK i want to copy but since i don't have root, it says "CP Permission Denied"... Is there a way of pulling or copying an APK if the phone is not rooted???
Did you try adb remount first?

yes, I tried ADB remount but it doesn't work... I can do adb devices and it'll show but it won't mount it as rw... it just lists the contents but can't copy,move,pull or push.
Where is the apk located? If it's in /system and it's read-only in theory you should still be able to pull it. Don't know why you're using 'cp' rather than adb pull.. If it's in data/app-private then no you won't be able to pull it. Hence the ADP1 has root but can't download paid apps (to prevent piracy)..
Solved
I tried CP, MV, PULL, PUSH... nothing worked because the phone is not rooted... BUT I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!
Here's what my goal was. My wife got a Motorola Cliq. It came with the TeleNav program and i wanted to put it on my G1... I couldn't get it out because the phone's not rooted....
I fixed the problem though...
I installed ASTRO File Manager on the Motorola Cliq, located the APK and used the e-mail option to e-mail it to myself... that actually worked... woot woot!
Installed it on the G1 and it works like a charm... so now I have Turn by Turn directions on my G1.
follow up question because i'm attempting to do the same thing, just trying to extract the apk. where exactly did you find that file using astro, i've been looking but haven't seen it

Apps should be in /data/app.
Also, you could have used ADB
Code:
adb pull /data/app/app.to.pull.apk C:\apps

please help me here

outa boredem i decied to try apps 2 sd and i did the partion stuff (with ext2 to 3) and then went to dconfig(damge control) and did the apps2sd save and all now i wont to use my apps but i dont know how and dont have android sd installed because i keep getting errors and dont know how to get my apps back or cant download from market and nadroid wont let me nadroid soooooo what do i do??
Yeah the DCconfig is kinda buggy right now. What I would suggest is set the DCconfig back to the no A2SD and then get anything off of your SD that you need then wipe the SD and then reformat it to FAT. Hope that helps

how...lol(oblivious expanding my knowledge AND NOT WORKING lol)
try to do UID fix in Recovery under Other
1.Plug your phone into your computer and copy all of your essential files to your desktop.
2.Set the DCconfig back to the default with no A2SD enabled
3.Go to Menu-settings-sd card & phone storage-press then press unmount sdcard then "Format SD card"

cuz market moves to sdcard when using a2sd, I dont know why..
Something definitely went wrong when moving the files to your sd card.
Type this on the computer
adb shell
cd /system/sd/app
ls
If you see a list of apps, then your apps are on your sdcard.
If your Apps are there, then in Recovery you can move apps to fat32 sdcard.
You can then format your sdcard, just repartition it using Recovery, just repeat the process, it erases everything of the card. So do Usb toggle in Recovery, move all your stuff and apps you just backed up to your computer and then after you format it, move all of it back and then do the Restore apps back to ext partition or whatever it says.
If your apps are not there or you dont have the directory /system/sd/app then create the folder yourself. Reboot your phone and see if anything works
adb shell
mkdir /system/sd/app

You have to go to setting and click on force download.. Or whatever the check box says.. Ill double check
Edit: Its "force htt://blah blah" it should then show up in downloads.

Well go to start > computer> c:/ drive
Find the android folder you created.. You can rename it to "android".
When typing in cmd when it first opens type
cd/
then type
cd /android/tools/
If you renamed your folder to android.
wait so if i go to dconfig and turn off a2sd do the apps auto go back to the phone, or what happs there cause i feel like when i use a2sd i feel like my phone is kinda laggy

ok so i had a retard move and didnt place it in the c drive lol sorry my bad but now when i do it it says phone not found so do i do htc sync(because i cant mine got infected by a virus so if i luge my phone it idk what will happen) but if i do ll need to do it on a freinds computer BUT I FIGURED IT OUT!!....sorta

Now that im rooted.......

How do I remove the bloatware, I am looking for specific instructions. I know that I need to open cmd and get into shell, what do I type to remove them and which ones are ok to remove?
Thanks for any help relating to this.
Ok so open up your cmd window, navigate into your tools directory of the android sdk and then type: adb shell
Next: cd /system/app
Then: ls
Then: rm appname.apk
or just rename it from Appname.apk > appname.apk.bak just in case...
Code:
mv appname.apk appname.apk.bak
this will prevent it from being available on your device. It will save memory but still be in storage.

[Q] Deleted LG-home, no backup.. now what?

First post! So hello,
I made a big screwup. First i rooted my lg-p990, next i deleted lg-home using Titatium Free. I did not backup my file. Also i never installed a new homescreen.
When finishing this action, the phone didnt respond anymore. Now it wont restart. It is still possible to connect to pc and view sd cards. Also it will restart bringing the installation sequence, but when finishing it, the phone stops responding again.
I realise i havent been very smart. But does anybody have a solution?
Im guessing you will have to push the apk through adb.... but as i have limited knowledge on this i would wait until someone more experienced gives you help!

Short answer for you:
1) Download my attachement
2) Rename it from .zip to .apk
3) Put in adb folder
4) Run:
adb remount
adb push LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
doesn't pushing apks to system/app require root? Correct me if I'm wrong

My next problem is that i dont know how to operate adb. I've got android sdk installed, but cant find how to work with adb.. What to do?
-edit-
I did some more research, and i cant use the commandline to acces :\android-sdk-windows\tool. This path doesn excist. Neither am i sure if USB-debugging is activated on the phone. I cannot acces the phones menu, so i cannot check..
what to do....

There are a few problems:
First is that there is no adb map to be found. Second is that when i for example enter the command "adb remount" my system doesnt recognise the command..
Thanks for your efforts though
Well. You rooted the phone. So usb debugging is enabled. It has to be for super one click to work.

Try that
Go to C:/Windows/System32
Copy cmd.exe
Paste it in SDK folder, where the ADB.exe is
Than enter my commands

Okee, i must sound liek a real noob. I cannot find this SDK folder and the only file that i can find that relates to adb is adb_usb.exe..
i know that i am a real pain in the ass
If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)
adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
reboot
problem solve
E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk
Download on you phone and install.
It works as new!
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..
It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..
it worked!
i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!

well...
that is not a permanent fix.
when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(
you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.
If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...
anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.
