[Q] copy or moving of .APK files

Hello,
I want to ask, how can i copy the .APK files of different apps i installed, i seen a way to make aoma installer package for my favorite apps. when i change rom its easier to get my apps back on my OB. My problem is that i cant seem to copy the files from the phone to SD card.
i tried with root explorer and ES explorer also. what am i doing wrong ?? i feel stupid help :laugh::laugh::silly::silly:

Go in main root folder...enter data inside that enter app..u ll get the apk files of the app installed

thanks for your reply
I went there, but it seems that in menu it wont give me a copy option, and even when i do get that option it says that i can't save it to SD card, what permissions do i need to set there, maybe this the problem? and is it permission per files of folder ?? how can i set the option to copy from root to SD ?
sorry for bunch of questions :laugh::fingers-crossed:

Just use the app Super Backup. Backup apps option will copy app apks to sd card.

I'm rather sure it was created in the same folder the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp was in and it's a zip file, there is no exe.
Probably yes but there was not really a problem you just need all the apk files and it takes some time but the result is very good and usefull.

My mistake, i was talking about the .jnlp file.
Btw i put in this paclage creator only the apk files and did not add any app folder.
I'm gonna try it again later on today. The first few try out the program worked pretty fast but no zip to be seen LOL. Lets see what will happen later on.

Works flawlessly for me

:victory::victory::victory: YES, FINALLY. i made it :laugh::laugh: i think i know what was the problem. i didnt give enough time to create the .ZIP file. if would have waited for 20 secs longer on each earlier attempt, i would have had those files already. LMAO, i'm such a noob dang so stupid of me. well no i know to double check myself. hehe.

Sorry for my english, i have the backup (by PC COMPANION , file.DBK) and i don't have xperia anymore,now i have SAMSUNG S3 MINI GT-I8190 and i need the messages that i had on my xperia but KIES Dosen't support Sony backup (only blackberry nokia...) any solution? i need only the messages

try changing the .dbk file to .zip and extract it, if you see a .xml file put it into your sdcard and download "super backup" from playstore and restore from there. If that doesnt work rename the .zip file to .xml and move it to sd card and use super backup to restore.

NO CWM backups?

hey everyone well i was having some problem with my htc one root that it went away sometimes but after flashing 1.65 its fine but before that i had some backups of the cwm but i cant find them on my phone.In my s4 they are always on cwm folder and then backups but cant find on htc one.
Can someone please help me
thanks

Pretty sure they're in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup - they can't be seen by a PC so you have to use a file manager on the phone to move them to the PC-readable part of your memory

Thanks for the reply bro but i can find it.Nothing in that folder or anywhere else.Are my backups corrupt or something?

Do you have root access for your file manager app? If not, you won't see the files

How do I give it root access and which file manager should I use

Either move them to /data/media/0/... using the root explorer on your phone, then you can see them with the PC,
or
use "adb pull" on your PC.

Tried to copy and it says operation failed.Should I move it or copy it?

Hi, can I suggest you create a symlink, that way both CWM recovery as well as your PC will see them; that's what I did and works fine

CM12 screenshots?

Read something about this, but can't find it now, get a " not enough space" error trying to take a screenshot. Validus ROM.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

Does the error say something like "can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or because the app doesn't allow it."? If so, then it is likely the app whatever app you are using that is blocking it. Netflix, bank apps, and some other apps do this.

Echoing above, you get a generic message like this if for example, you're screenshoting an app that wishes to block the feature. However if you used MTP or adb to copy your /sdcard data back to your phone via recovery, you'll have screwed up your permissions. DO NOT fix permissions via recovery. Test the screenshot folder to see if you can create new files using a file manager. If not, I'll link you to a flash able zip that will fix your sdcard for you.

You can get it from section 2 of my old N 5 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sdcard-problems-upgrading-android-t2938749
If you can't download it via android, you'll need to use MTP (or adb push) in recovery probably.

In the end, from twrp recovery I selected format, and then format data and types yes on a separate matter to disavel encryption but once I had done that, I could also take screen shots again, thanks anyway!

Stock samsung gallery app

Hi, i have a lot of old files that i transfered to my note 5 but nothing shows in the stock gallery, only new videos or photos, didnt had that problem with note4, any solution?
Tnx

Try using a file Explorer and moving files that aren't detected to a new folder on the phone and restart ...it might help... but if u are talking about pics from whatsapp or something it might not work.. I have no idea why

well i found the problem....i had a .nomedia folder in the internal memory, in the root entry and that bloqued all media scanning.
