Open that ZIP, see what is there and where it is pushed. Open some root explorer on phone and remove its files... If those files did not overwrite some older files that was already in phone. You can't remove it from application manager because those are probably in system/app.

MyRootBackup is what you are looking for. Save apps as apk's(Android Package) which will allow you to restore and install your apps.
If its a custom rom you can add apps to the data file within the rom rezip and sign it .
Custom rom unzip opens to folders DATA folder put apps in and use the signing rom script to rezip and sign then install as normal .
I prefer to save the APK to SD card and install from that .

titanium backup does that
yeah i finally paid for the pro version woohoo lol i was just rrying to find an alternative method, but being a flash-aholic its well worth it, for the 0 click restore, my thumbs ache after installing 100+ apps manually lol. thanks for all your comments
I don't know about you, but I was sick of that.
I flash new ROMs a few times a day on my phone, losing my /data/app apps some times a day.
So I made a flashable zip that solves this problem.
This ZIP is ONLY for pushing apps into /data/app!
Right, there are a few things you need:
- The flashable zip, download it below
- Root Explorer
- WinZip
Do the following:
- Using Root Explorer, copy the apps installed in /data/app to /sdcard
- They will have names like com.***.***-1, leave them like that. DO NOT RENAME!
- Connect your phone through USB to your PC
- Copy the apps from /sdcard to your pc
- Unzip 'data_app_install.zip' and put the apps into /data/app
- Select '/META-INF' and '/data', rightclick, 'Add to archive'
- Choose .ZIP as type
- Let it zip
- Copy the new .ZIP file to your external SD
- Flash a new ROM
- Flash the new .ZIP file containing your /data/app apps
- Reboot and enjoy!

same same Works for me..
Does it keep also all the settings in the apps?
When the app settings are saved in the app itself, then yes.
When the app settings are saved somewhere else (meaning NOT in /data/app), then no.
Does that mean it should also be possible to exchange the data folder in a ROM zip and flash it directly with it?
When you know how to edit the updater-script so that it adds the /data folder to your phone aswell, then, yeah, it's possible.
I haven't found the mounting command for /data tho so I can't help you there.
my backup root
My backup root sukcs, it did not recover any settings for me. Titanium backup is nice, but it takes too long to get the apps one by one.
<3 this but is there any way how i could backup app data which are not saved in data/app?

I can explain that one for you.. You came from a stock MRXX rom, flashed a CM7 nightlies and lost your backed up data.. Because MyBackup uses 1st sd partition on stock rom, and sd-ext/mnt on CM7.. Your backup is still there after flash, you just need to move it from sd to sd-ext..

the update.zip which titanium backup creates is used for installing titanium backup after a data wiping, for creating update.zip there are many softwares available in xda you just need to make the folder tree and have to flace files in them

Thanks for your help!
I would like to edit the following rom for my tv box :
https://www.cellc.co.za/softwares/update_CELLC_PRD_Cellc_cellc_Secured_4.0.1.115_SB522.zip
The rom was originally signed by SignApk . I would like to remove one application , welcomestb.apk and its associated odex, welcomestb.odex .
The problem is the first time setupwizard is not connecting to server as the server is no longer available. So i can not go past the wifi settings and use the device. More or less i would like to edit the rom such that it doesnt require the setupwizard. I would also like to add a few more applications such as vlc player and media center to the rom . The rom is based on android 4.0.1. Unfortunately it does not have twrp or clockwod recovery. Thus i would like to sign it with SignApk after i am done editing. WOULD U KINDLY GIVE ME POINTERS ON HOW TO GO ABOUT MODYFING THE ROM SUCH THAT I CAN FLASH IT USING STOCK RECOVERY
Hi guys..

I read somewhere it can be used to create a zip file of your backup apps.. in your next flash you can flash the update.zip in order to restore your apps from "cwm recovery"..!!
Thanks for any help or better tips/solutions..!!
It creates an unsigned update.zip file for installing TB in recovery mode.

So is it only for installing TB..!!
"Is it possible to create a zip file with all my apps which I can restore from recovery mode"..??
It's only tb. App u flash with cwm,but do a nandroid backup and tb. can extract and restore from your nandroid.quite easy
When u make a tb.zip then use titaniumbackup.zip name,so it's easy to locate and flash.
U use this when u wipe and instal new rom.
Btw.if u extract your rom using root explorer u can modify,delete/add apps and kernel,everything to your liking,then zip it with rootexplorer and flash in cwm.then it's only a few apps u have to restore depends on how many apps u have installed.
Remember if this file doesn't exist then create it and put your 3' apps in there

Can you explain more clearly..I'm confused on what you said about make tb.zip..(how)..?
So do I make zip > use update.zip function..??
Open settings in tb. There is an option to make a "update.zip" of tb. This one u can flash from cwm,but its only needed to flash when u wipe your phone and it's only tb. App that is restored,the rest of your missing apps u restore from tb.
In tb. settings there is also an option to extract your nandroid backup(of cause u got 1) and restore apps from that.
About "root explorer". read a bit more on how to add and remove things from roms u downloaded.even though it's quite easy to do
@Zodiaxe.. Many thanks cleared up my confusion..
The update.zip is only used for tb..!!
I was hoping there would be a method whereby all my apps could be compressed in one zip file, which I can then flash in cwm to "restore" all my apps..
I hate the tiring method of restoring them manually..!!
Yeah I know what u mean.its a drag,LOL
but buy the premium its worth the money.
When u restore in premium u select the apps(as in free) but it's then 1-click restore and tb. do the rest.and a whole lot nice features comes with the premium

Btw. I think what u are looking for is APP2ZIP try search play store.don't know if sgs‘s is supported.
Thanks mate.. Have been very helpful..!!
I will have a look at that app, many thanks again.
What exactly is an update.zip file used for? I know I had to run it when I flashed AOKP to my Droid Inc. It was in the instructions to do so, but I was not completely sure what I was doing at that exact step of the process.
Also, I have TB (Premium). I use it to back up all system data and user apps. I have never needed it to restore any data, but I am sure I will in the future. This is mainly because I flashed AOKP M5 to my Galaxy Nexus a little over 2 weeks ago and have not looked back.
My last question at the moment is this. If I wipe/clear cache, clear dalvik cache and wipe user data (factory reset) how does my TB data stay in tact exactly?

This is a general explanation of update zip
There are several ways to install applications or library
files to an Android Phone . You can use Market application
to find and install or adb command line tool to install or
push the files to Android file system. These are all easy to
implement for single file but if you have several
applications or library files to install at once, it might be
better to use update zip file. The update zip file is Android
advanced system to install applications or lib files to
Android file system using recovery tool. This method is
commonly used by rom or theme developers to distribute
their package.
Hope that makes sense
Answer to your last question all data saved in TB will stay in tact..so when you flash you can restore apps & data nothing will be lost (as long as you don't format sd card)

It definitely makes more sense now, but I am not quite there yet. Are you saying that update.zip file is just one option and that using TB would be an alternate to using update.zip file?
As far as your explanation on the TB file staying in tact, that makes sense. Thank you.

If you go back read first few posts..
In tb the update.zip function used to restore tb only from cwm.. Or you can create an update.zip in order to restore/update something in your rom (as in your case when you installed aokp you also flashed update zip)
An update.zip is flashable file, this can be a rom, theme or apps.
there is a update.zip on your SD-card, this is your costum recovery(cwm) do not remove or rename this file
No, clearing cache or dalvik cache nor factory reset will affect TB. or it's data.
And wipe cache + dalvik is a good thing to do once in a while.
Factory reset is is done i u flash a new rom or have trouble with your phone, lag,slow or other problems
Usually this is caused by some app or settings. Then do a factory reset,if u can't find the problem

But can update.zip file be created where all my apps are inside or compressed inside..??
So when I flash new rom can I flash that update.zip file (after renaming it) in order to restore my apps..?? "Yes I'm aware of tb batch one click restore..
No, not with TB but u can extract and restore apps from your cwm(nandroid) backups.
check out the APP2ZIP,that can do do exactly what u are looking for,make a flashable zip with your apps and settings.u can find it here on xda and in play store.
regarding on the topic
Im just newbie on android and i have intentionally delete the folder App on my system files thinking that it was just a back up file
and my android phone just stock on boot up!
I have to same android phone
rooted
is it possible to make an TB update zip containing the system app on my other android phone and
flash it on the broken one using the CWM?
No. It isn't that simple. While you could install titanium backup with the update . zip the phone still won't boot. And you need a running system to even start tb.
So you would need the Rom you were using. Flash that first and flash the tb update.zip afterwards. Then you will get a rom with tb already installed.
From there you can start to restore apps you hopefully have backed up before...

Yes.. It's all there as long as you don't wipe or format sd card. (tb data folder)

Reviving this to add that last month tb added support for update.zip which holds all backups.
Theres 2 now:
1. settings > update.zip is a flashable zip with only tb
2. batch > recovery update.zip is a flashable zip with all backups
Everyone should be using one of these two methods to ensure u have the latest tb to restore from (since roms are always out of date), or to restore everything straight in recovery.
The thread title says it all, I've downloaded a Nandroid backup and pushed it to my sdcard but not too sure how to restore from that in CMW the file doesn't show up in the restore option?

You need to paste it into /data/media/clockworkmod/<name_of_backup> for it to be visible
Or if you're using TWRP, put it in TWRP/Backups
Can you tell me how I do this using adb because I can't copy and paste the folder as I currently don't have a working ROM

No idea as I've never been in your situation. I always make sure I have everything set up and know what I'm doing before rooting/wiping my phones
You're probably going to have to use adb sideload to get a custom ROM on the phone, then copy the backup to the phone, move it using a file explorer with root permissions and then restore the backup in CWM
I've sideloaded the ROM several times and tried re-flashing it but still get the same thing

Sorry, so do you have a working ROM or not? Try 'adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard' in recovery, then flash your ROM.
