[Q] Buying a already downloaded App - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've normally get APK files of big app such as Swiftkey, so what will happen if I buy the app from the Play store, how can i keep the data and still be able to update ? Will i just get a update message and the data stays or will i just have to delete it and lose all the data ?

Titanium Backup should be what you need.

You must be rooted to stick if not it will stop working after each reboot, which gs3 do you have?

Make a backup of whatsapp using titanium backup and store it in your dropbox or somewhere. Then flash the new ROM, download your backup and restore it using titanium backup

Whenever you are going to flash a new ROM, I would recommend backing up whatsapp again so you don't lose any of your conversations

[Q] Remove "All messages" vs. SMS/MMS selection from Stock HTC Messages App

Is this (relatively) easy to achieve? Or is there a significant reason the messages are divided up like this? The "All Messages" seems to take longer to redraw/refresh than the "SMS/MMS" option, which is quite annoying, to me at least... Otherwise, I don't mind using the app at all.

It can be done only on rooted phone. You have to replace your Messages+PRIME.apk to GSM-version. Like I did.

Thanks! Would you happen to have a link for a download? I found the .apk in the Viper ROM .zip, but it wouldn't install when I tried installing. Do I need to use TB to install it?

Here is the one I took from Virtuos GSM-only ROM and what I am using now on 2.06 base. Replace same file in /system/app/ folder with any root explorer, and check permissions. Then reboot.
Worked perfectly, I tip my hat to you sir! Thank you very much.

Awesome. That worked like a charm can I also delete exchange services that has similar looking icon or would I need to keep that to run other email app like aquamail?

My guess is that is used for Microsoft exchange email set up. You can delete it using that app, but I'd make a backup of it just to be safe and put it somewhere.

email app sucks, and wasted half a day trying to get a work email set up on the stock "email" app until I tried the aquamail and got it set up while on tech support with godaddy, but then after i got it working went back to email to try the same settings and it didnt work on email with the right settings, garbage.

Titanium backup!

Why do I need to accept to install every play store app everytime I restore from TB from a fresh wipe? Is there a way to overcome this?
