[Q] Best way to back up?

I flash a lot. I'm getting sick of manually reinstalling apps. I used mybackup pro but it seems like it would forget apps. Right now I'm using AppBrain. Is there any way to back up all apps then reinstall them from the back up and have them run like nothing ever happened?

android should install them automatically once you link your phone with your google account. Other then that not that I know of, unless you move all apps to sdcard.

I think it only does that on the stock rom.

nope, did it for CM6 and Enomthers rom (sorry i cant remember how to spell it)

[REQ] Stock Market .apk

Hi guys I did something dumb last night as I was tired and not thinking. I installed the new market (vending.apk) on my Xoom and quickly realized its for phones only
Anyone have a link to the stock vending.apk ?

I thought you could go into manage applications, find market and click uninstall updates.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

I tried the same with same result
Could not get the app back, even with TB. Honeycomb-market consists of 2 files: vending.apk and finsky.apk. Finally I had to rip the files from out of the file "system.img" (part of the AU-Telstra-FW) by using "unyaffs", copied them back to "/system/app" and set the permissions to "rw-r-r". APKs from Tiamat-ROM didn't work, tried that first w/o success...
I could upload them to my Dropbox, but i'm not sure if they'll work for you...
Edit:
Uploaded mine: http://db.tt/cTCSrkb
To replace them in the file system you have your Xoom to be rooted.

[Q] SMS Apps not compatible with liberty rom?

So i have looked for handcent sms and go sms in the market and they do not appear...i got a link to the app in the market and on the top there is a bar that says the app is not compatible with your device? Is this a known issue?

I know there's been some market issues with liberty but I've been using go sms with it. I haven't had to download it since its been in my backup but it works fine, i'd assume if you can get the apk and side load it you'd have a work around.

i install it using titanium backup too but when i go to the market i am able to find it and actually just installed the 11/1 update. (Go SMS)

The latest Liberty fixes Market issues supposedly.

Handcent isnt on the market, can't find it on SD market or browser

yes but you should be backing everything up so i don't see why it matters. backup, wipe, flash, reboot, restore, reboot, and youre right back where you left off.
Edit: I think he has a patch in the thread as well if you really don't want to flash the new ROM, but like i said its pretty quick and painless if you use Titanium

.894 keeps trying to install - need to stop it

.894 keeps trying to update to my device and fails because of forever root. I know I don't want to update, but I need to find a way to stop this notification from popping up. Does anyone know a way short of unrooting and letting it update?

If you want to keep root, I wouldn't. But if you really need to, take mount_ext3.sh and remove the lines of code forever root added.

Delete the files from the cache folder.

There are no files in the cache folder

I think you need to use root explorer to be abler to see them there is two files in the cache folksy you will need to remove, both saying something about .894, I had the same issue with .893, removed those files and it stop annoying me.

Ok, found an .apk in there that I deleted. The inly other file was what looked to be a log from .893

I deleted it and it is still trying to update.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Reboot after you delete it.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

You need to open root explorer and then go to /system/etc/security rename the file otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and then reboot your phone and that should do it. Hope this helps

If your stock .893 not rooted what does .894 do for you

Kill your root, that's all it was released for
If your not rooted it probably closes the exploit

Didn't work. Still trying to update. I don't think it ever installed it, it keeps trying to download it. Looks like I may have to sacrifice root. Any other ideas?

Titanium backup and freeze updater. Defrost when you need it.

It comes up as download of update failed. It is annoying because it will break into tasks. Say you are shooting a video, it will pop in and stop the recording.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Did you delete both files related to .894 in the /cache folder?

The only things in /cache is downloadfile.apk, lost and found and a folder names recovery that has a logfile in it. I tried deleting downloadfile.apk several times and it keeps coming back.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

That apk shouldn't be there. At least I don't have that. Try renaming it to .bak on the end and rebooting.

I checked for downloadfile.apk and it stayed gone this time. It still tries to update. Will probably come back after reboot.

[Q] Verizon Motorola Droid 4 Stock ROM

Hi,
I just recently got a Verizon Motorola Droid 4 phone and rooted it.
I then removed some applications I didn't think I needed.
It turns out that I removed one I needed (com.motorola.blur.providers.contacts) and now I have a few applications crashing and contacts don't work anymore.
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the Stock ROM for my phone I can load to fix this?
Or a way to add that application back? I did back it up with TitaniumBackup before I removed it but it seems I can't restore it with that program.

I was able to find a system dumb and use Root Explorer to add the files ContactsProvider2_0.apk and ContactsProvider2_0.opex back to /system/apps and set the correct permissions.
Now my contacts works and I'm not getting any crashes from system apps now.
