TWRP Backup Location - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says, where is the TWRP backup location? When using a file explorer I don't have the folder for TWRP, I wanted to move the backup off my phone but can't access it.

TWRP seems to be tricky on the Moto X. Boot into recovery and mount it from there, and then you should be able to see the folder from your computer.

/data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS
Do you know why it saves the backups in there? Some apps like Nandroid can't find its path, do you know how to solve it, mate?

Copy the twrp folder at data/media/0/TWRP to storage/emulated/0/TWRP and change permissions to chmod 777 (rwxrwxrwx)

You can use the command line in a shell or use a app like root explorer, long press on the folder and you will see permissions in the list, go into there and change accordingly

Music Apk

This one can be installed to replace.
http://development.piratemedia.tv/2010-06-06-music-mod-v1-6-mdpi-hdpi/
How to...
Copy the apk to your sdcard. Now for some commands.
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/Music.apk
rm /system/app/Music.odex
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app/
chmod 644 /system/app/Music.apk
reboot
That should give you the new music.apk. I had to reboot for the apk to take. Let me know if anyone finds anything else.

looks nice but I *think* it requires root. Also read something about being pushed through AVD so it could be that instead.
It does require root. But well worth it imo

another easy way to do this is to download the sdx app remover
http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
it creates a folder on your sdcard called sdx, put the file into /sdcard/sdx/backup/app
the app will be listed, just check it and click restore app and it will install it under /system/app

Then just make a backup of a system app and that should make the folder.
Then justv restore the app

Try ES File Explorer, or Root Explorer!
Root Explorer I Know Has A
(RW/RO) Button That Allows You To Mess With System Files!

Yup, or from adb do adb remount
Hey guys, just saw your replies and I gotta give a big thanks for them. I normally use Root explorer but its a hit or miss sometimes when trying to make apps work when put in the /system folder and yes I did do ADB remount before trying to push the apk to the system. I thought this was weird because it has never happened to me with my Eris or Droid1. Thanks again for your replies I really appreciate them.

[GUIDE]How to get Play Music back!

OK, something that can happen when you install a custom rom that the music player has changed to "apollo" or something else.
So lets restore the old music app back!
Before we start remove all the thing you tried before please...
First thing you need to do is disable (or remove) the old music player.
So go to Setting --> Apps --> everything. And Click on the music player for disabling.

}
Now download the App.
Place it in the root of your nexus 7.
Brows with a file explorer (with root access) to "/SDCARD" and copy your file to "/SYSTEM/APP"Note: If you can not copy please make sure your system is mounted Read-write.
To make sure it is mounted RW do "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" in your console.
Or if you use root explorer there is a small button with R/W that you can press.​
Fix your permissions RW--R--R
And Reboot.
FAQ

And why can't one just install Google Music from the market?
This didn't work for me... I did everything and rebooted and it's not showing up in my app drawer.... any ideas?

Because not everybody lives in the UK or USA. In Belgium we don't have access to that application. And if i use a market-enabler the app does not work good.

? Strange Are you sure that you placed it in system/apps and that the permissions are correct. Normally you will get a message "Android is updating..." after reboot.

You need to be root for having writing permissions on the erternal SDCard.
But that's how it supposed to work with Android 4.4.2, google removed this permission...

Use file commander
Use the stock app file commander. starting from kitkat, any 3rd party file explorer/manager will not have permission to write on sdcard. only stock system app like the file commander have write access to sdcard

Right, also you can just connect your phone in USB in MSC (mass storage) mode and remove yourself what you don't want anymore, it's what i actually do.

You have to move the files to system/etc first, and then change the permissions after. Worked for me at least.
