Hi,
Could you please explain hopw you did this. I have a couple of stock apps which I will never use and would like to get rid of them.
Cheers,
Fred

I suppose need to be rooted, then using either titanium backup or root explorer, backup the app first then remove.

Don't ever mess with the native email app. Many other apps are tied to this app.

Backing up an app on an unrooted phone.

The application called "Sticky Memo" has been taken off the market and I still have it. The thing is I want to root my phone, and since it requires wiping I need a way to keep the application after I root.
Is there any possible way without already having root?
Maybe Titanium Backup?
Would Astro work in this case?

Thanks! Thread can be closed
but Titanium backup needs root...
...doesn't it?
I just bought my first Android phone, and I want to root it, but before rooting you need to make a backup, of course.
I downloaded titanium backup and installed it, but it tells me it won't work because my phone is not rooted !
Backing up clearly comes first, so what can I use to do that, OR how can I use Titanium backup (which seems like the best backup app out there) on an unrooted phone?
Thanks

Request: Contacts.apk?

I was removing apps using Titanium Backup and removed the contacts app by accident.. Its now just listed as com.android.contacts with a line through it :sad face: I'm not sure if it matters but I am using the new I897UCJH2 ROM.
I know I can get it back if I flash the rom but thought I'd see if someone could help me out.
Anybody care to help? Or let me know if its not possible.
Not a development question, post in general or themes & apps area.

I don't know if this is possible but I could backup my contacts app and send you the backup files. If you put them in the titanium backup folder you may be able to restore from it.
If anyone knows a way for me to backup the app as an APK file I would be happy to do so.

Well, I am not running JH2, but here it is from JF6 /system/app/contacts.apk
Any chance that's the stock Google contacts? Disliking what came with the Captivate..

Backup without root

Hi,
do you guys know any good app to do a backup of my non rooted non unlocked Razr I? I'd like to root and unlock it, but I don't want to lose all my data.
Carbon does not work. What did you use?

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
There are some solutions for backup to the PC too.
Thanks!
But it looks like it does only do a backup of the apk files. Is there any app which includes the app's data to a backup? I do not want to play all my games again :/

Ok. As far as I know you have solutions for backup/restore without rooting only for PC. But that shouldn't be a serious problem. The only important thing is to have ability to restore your apps and data. Look at this: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/backup-android-devices-to-pc-without-root-or-bootloader-unlock/

Again, how did you delete/erase them? I cant really help much without that info. The only way I can think of for deleting ALL your apps is to do a factory reset, in which case they are gone. Because thats the point of a factory reset. Another way is to delete the directory that the apps are in. Which also pretty much means they are gone. The only way to get deleted apps back is to either download them all from the Play Store again, or restore a backup if you made one. If you didnt make a backup, your apps are most likely gone. Sorry.

Boy! Talk about 'lost in translation!' He's unable to understand your problem/question. Why not try saying it in your own language, maybe a soul can understand your problem, help you solve it, and even translate your problem for anyone else that might have it.

Sounds like he was using titanium backup (or something similar) and instead of backing up, he deleted.
If that's what happened, if you hadn't made a backup previously, no idea how to recover what you deleted.

Would root be any benefit for this? I mean if he has root can he delete them for good?

He is rooted, otherwise Titanium Backup wouldn't have worked for him in the first place. I could be wrong, though.
Personally I'd rather remove all apps I don't want or need rather than freeze them ... There's **** on my phone that I just want gone completely and not just disbaled or frozen, Facebook integration and Blinkfeed would be gone straight away lol

I have not tried removing system applications using TitaniumBackup on my HTC One, to be honest with you, and I am running stock, non-rooted and odexed 4.2.2 which I am going to root in a few. I think the only option you have at the moment is to freeze them until you can figure something out. The only other option I could think of is installing a custom ROM which I believe lets you delete them without having to worry about them coming back, like TrickDroid, for instance.
Tried to dl that app yet? I had the same prob when running stock for a while. Sorted my issues.
