[SOLVED]Lost/Deleted my Wifi Direct apks - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi all, I accidentally deleted my wifi direct modules and because of this my phone cannot wifi share files directly with other devices anymore (dumb move I know). It must have happened while I was doing a batch clean out a while ago and I didn't notice until recently when I tried to wifi direct send something and was unable. I quickly realized I did not have the apks anymore (I believe there were/are two of them)
I was wondering if some kind soul may upload them for me, that would be GREATLY appreciated. (even more so if they were backed up with Titanium Backup as I could restore them with that, would be ideal)
Thanks in advance!

I never use batches to debloat my phone because of this kind of stuff just download a system app Uninstaller and do it that way but if you need them that bad you could always just reclassified the rom or try going to Google and looking for the apks if not I'm sure someone can upload theirs on here I would but I'm on a VZW s5 so I'm not sure if it'll work but if someone says that it will I'll upload mine if I havem

I typically don't but was on a roll and didn't have an immediate backup like I usually would. I may do some digging to see if I made a full new phone Titanium Backup when I got the phone, and if so, I may still have the apks there but if not I'd be very appreciative to have yours, if it doesn't work I'm not worse off then I am not haha.
This is another reason I just freeze everything anymore.

Thanks alot!! Though what I'm looking for isn't the Wifi internet share but rather the apks responsible for wifi direct file sharing between two android phones. I think it's called Wifi Share or something. I feel so bad :-/

No, not like sharing over a wireless network, wifi direct sharing. Sorry! It's my fault I haven't been calling it the right thing. I updated the title and first post with the correct title for new viewers who look in.
This, though I can select it and connect to other phones, it never actually works because it doesn't have the modules anymore:

Damn, those are definitely the right files I need but they don't show up in Titanium and I cannot manually install them myself...or rather haven't been able to figure out it myself. I have a friend with a G900T (T-Mobile S5) but she's on 5.1.1 and I'm just on 5.0 so I think that's why it won't install. I may just try nandroiding, fresh installing my rom and then backing up those files in titanium and then just restoring my nandroid backup and seeing if Titanium sees THOSE new files. It's probably the last thing I can try.
Thanks for your help, you don't know how much I appreciate it!

does titanium save your passwords in your device for like when you upgrade and all that? and wouldnt upgrading wipe its back ups since you have to do a full wipe(except sd card)?

I do, but even the mighty TB can sometimes fail to backup everything, so far the only things that didn't work right for me were Apex Launcher and lost my text messages (not a big deal, should have used an actual message back up app)

Saves pretty much everything, which are you concerned about?? No, I save my Titanium Backups on my Sd card.

Indeed! Nandroid is still the overall king of perfect backups but Titanium is right behind it and has the added benefit of choosing what you restore.
I actually was able to restore my text messages and all too,

Rom Manager How To

I keep seeing talk about "DON'T USE ROM MANAGER" it is causing issues right now in MANY DIFFERENT THREADS. Just wanted to show anyone that has issues with rom manager and how it worked for me. I have used rom manager to download roms (CM7), and also run BACKUPS from rom manager. So Rom Manager does work without issue for CM7, and still works well with any other rom for our ATT SGS2's with one little catch which is very easy to do. I know the video is not the greatest quality as I used my old cappy to record running rom manager as a backup. So if this helps you out great. If not know big deal, just thought I would try to help.

Why mess with something which can only cause grief to most people.
Best to wait for a new update of it which is fully compatible with our
phones and all the custom roms.
Until then here is a very good substitude which include many of the
same features and options as rom manager and is 100% compatible.
Check it out!
CWM Manager can be downloaded here: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G
It's very easy to use because its fully self-explanitory.

It is when the phone first goes to reboot to recovery that it will go to a black screen with a symbol on it, when you see that screen you just hold down the three button salute until screen goes black, then let go of the buttons, the backup process will begin where it should be and create your backups.
Rom manager is NO GRIEF at all and MOST know of it and how it works. This is a VERY EASY workaround rather than having another app to install to do the same exact things. But I guess there are people that cannot read instructions and follow so I SHOWED how it is done. But when you see people saying it didn't work for them on different post because they are not familiar enough to use it. I am not pointing you out MrJunky but I ha e seen you post this over and over again. I am just trying to help those out that may need it.
Hopefully others can see HOW EASY it is with a video to backup their roms (ANY ROM), then how to go about switching between backed up roms very easily. This way they can test out DGs roms, Unnamed rom, CM7, or any other rom without the fear of screwing up anything. So that is why the video shows How To BACKUP and how to SWITCH between different roms via your backups.

So, your "ROM Manager" workaround was to trigger entry into the standard non-broken non-ROM-Manager recovery?
You use the three-finger, you are no longer using ROM Manager.
This is why we tell people not to use ROM Manager. Your method is harder than simply using the three-finger from poweroff, or if you've got a custom ROM, the Recovery option from reboot menu.
Yes the workaround is slightly different as once your phone starts to boot up and goes to the screen you hold down the three buttons. I only did this because I saw others that were pulling the battery since they thought they were stuck. The plus is when using rom manager to backup the current rom you can easily name it via rom manager and.once it is backed up and rebooted you can see the name you picked stuck. I know how to JUST use the three button salute and backup right from cwm, this is.just a workaround for someone wanting to use rom manager. And it.is not any harder than JUST using the three button. It is basically the same except it allows you to use rom manager and name the backed up rom before actually backing it up. This has helped.me.in the past when I made a backup from cwm within the same day for two different roms. I wasn't sure which one was which. So I didn't want to JUST try to rename them after the fact. Yes it is NOT a big deal here but it does work. I know you do great.things for this community, and I am no dev so I am not trying to argue any points with you. I am just showing that.it can work with ease. Plus RM works perfect with CM7 without having to do the three button workaround to get rom manager to work. So what.is it that would allow CM7 use.rom manager correctly yet the stock based Samsung roms not work without a workaround?

Why not just avoid all the hassles in the first place?
Rom Manager is not the only app which can do nandroid backup/restore,
rename, delete, flash roms and kernels and much more.
(and yes it asks for filename BEFORE backing up existing rom)
For example here is an app called CWM Manager which can do all that stuff
and more without 3 finger salute or any hassle at all.
cwm manager: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G
About the only thing it's lacking when compared to rom manager is that
it cannot download roms or anything else.
Personally I think that for the majority of users its a lot less complicated to use than Rom Manager.
Check it out yourself.
Are there any other apps that are similar to this? My issue is that I can't backup to my ext SD which is significantly larger, 32class10.? Or is the a mod so I can mount my ext SD as the main storage? That way all apparently recognize my sdext?

I don't understand why so many people are tied to Rom Manager. It's not that great of a tool and honestly I'm happier without it. What's the point of trying to make it work to such a degree? Maybe I'm missing something but if it never works properly, I'll be perfectly fine with it.

Just do the backup and then move it from the internal over to your ext. Or are you out of space as it is to where you can't even do a backup to begin with?

Dude I am not tied to it, its just that much easier! Ex. a. there is a grocery store 1 miles down the street and very easy to walk to b. on the other hand i have a car in my drive way ready to be use and i could get back so much quicker.. What choice would 99.9% of people use? Obviously b. Rom managers makes it easy to make nandroids and restore, everthing is automated. I can just "set it and forget it". Installing zips is nice because i paid for the premium version so i can flash as many zips as i wont in one swop. You would be lying if you said you prefer booting into to recovery and manually flashing or backups or restores, rather than just hitting backup or restore etc. Also it is nice because you can name your backups before you backup it up.
I am not out of space but i will be soon. I just got the phone and i have 5 gigs left (that is 2 days of use) . Moving the backups manually to the ext is such a pain and the ass. Is there alternatives out there to rom manager besides CWM Manager?

You would be lying if you said you prefer booting into to recovery and manually flashing or backups or restores, rather than just hitting backup or restore etc. Also it is nice because you can name your backups before you backup it up.
I am not out of space but i will be soon. I just got the phone and i have 5 gigs left (that is 2 days of use) . Moving the backups manually to the ext is such a pain and the ass. Is there alternatives out there to rom manager besides CWM Manager?

I wasn't referring to you actually, was more with regards to the thread itself and so many that are like it. That's why I stated it before I then quoted you and gave my input.
I find it simple to copy them over and renaming them is easy as well. Obviously it would be ideal for many people but personally it's not a big deal - that's all I'm saying.
SIMULAR to Rom Manager
jgrimberg1979 said:
Are there any other apps that are similar to this? My issue is that I can't backup to my ext SD which is significantly larger, 32class10.? Or is the a mod so I can mount my ext SD as the main storage? That way all apparently recognize my sdext?

Why not just avoid all the hassles in the first place?
Rom Manager is not the only app which can do nandroid backup/restore,
rename, delete, flash roms and kernels and much more.
(and yes it asks for filename BEFORE backing up existing rom)
For example here is an app called CWM Manager which can do all that stuff
and more without 3 finger salute or any hassle at all.
cwm manager: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G
About the only thing it's lacking when compared to rom manager is that
it cannot download roms or anything else.
Personally I think that for the majority of users its a lot less complicated
to use than Rom Manager. (because it's self-explanitory)
This app is 100% compatible with CWM Recovery too.
Check it out yourself.

When I rename a ROM BACKUP in CWM Manager before backing it up then try to restore it, it can't find it. It just shows a blank restore screen. For some reason renaming it doesn't work for me. Just using the default name (date and time) works but custom names do not. That is a major issue, at least for me.
OTOH I don't like having to do the 3 finger salute .... both have their problems.

You simply have to rename it without any spaces. You can use periods and dashes but if you put in any spaces, it won't find them.

That's because when you change the default date/time name you
must have given it some name which contains some charactor(s)
which cwm manager cannot reconize or you changed the location
of the backed up rom to a different location than where it was saved to.
Proper location for backup is: ( sdcard/clockworkmod/backup ).
Then inside the backup folder is where the default or user named
backup folders containing the backup set of files needs to reside.

TitaniumBackup Alternative?

OK, updated TB and still not letting me restore. Not that it matters right now but it may come in very important later so I want it working. Anyone know where I can get a free alternative that is compatible with TB backup that I've made? (posted in a fresh thread for others)

How to backup the Prime without root..

I am on WW 21, Titanium Backup is installed, but since I lost the root after the last update, Titanium no longer works and I cannot re-root.
I would like to make a factory reset of the Prime and not to lose my installed programs.
What should I use to do that. The Prime is not unlocked.
Is there a simple app that can make a backup of my apps.
Regards

Google is your friend!
Could use the included AppBackup from ASUS. I'm pretty sure MyBackup Pro does not require root and will back up nearly everything you would want to. Be sure to move any music/photos/whatever to an external mSD/SD card as well.
@bimbobobo
I wonder where all your problems come from ..
Easy find:
adb.exe backup-all.
That should do.
And you missed the forum as well, I woonder where all your problems come from..

I have no issues in this case, just wanna make a reset and not reinstall my apps, wifi and all the rest
I tried adb.exe and followed the guide in this forum, but I could not find out.
I would like a tool that take a clone of my Prime's stuff and save on an external HDD or directly on the SD Card I have.
Maybe I am not nerd enough to find out
loosing root is not an issue??
To me it would be the first concern ...
the second that I missed the forum...
but try the internal Asus backup as buxtahuda suggested. That's the reason why they put it there, isn't it? Otherwise you know where to complain don't you ?
But than it's always better to reinstall from scratch after a reset, isn't it?
And as buxtahuda stated also: Google is your friend. Just login with your resetted prime into your account. Google has stored almost all your installed applications if you let your device synchronize before you resetted it.
Good luck noob
from another noob
I found out.. thanks guys.

I need to do more adb Lol, I'm going to have to look into this function, I've never paid attention to it.
Would be great to be able to create images like a nandroid without root, but I guess that's kind of an oxymoron statement since you have to be able to get into the system files.

[Q] App to install apk [Solved]

Just a quick question. When I had a winmo device, after we flashed a rom we had a program that we could add cab (winmo version of apk) files to and it would install those apps to our phones all at one time. I know there is titanium backup that will install the apps but sometimes that causes issues with the rooms in some of the new releases. Does anyone know of a app that will do something like what I am speaking of or am I on my own with this one? I know I can write scripts to do this but was looking for something a little easier.
If this has already been discussed then please ignore my request. I very seldom use my laptop to visit xda and the search function via the xda app is not really user friendly if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Edit: created a flshable zip with my apk's and everything works flawless. Thanks to those who helped.
TiBU can do a batch restore, but don't restore any system apps or data.
A. *.apk file is a self-installing application, so you don't need another application to extract and install.
Can you share any specifics?

I know its a self installing app. What I'm wondering is there a batch file installer for say 20+ apps to be installed at one time. Instead of installing 20+ apps one at a time. Does that clarify? In winmo devices a cab file is almost identical to a apk file for android. In winmo devices after we flashed a rom and had set everything up, we could run a program that would install all of our apps in one simple click. Hope this clarifies.

Yes, that works as well but I don't see an option to install all of the apps in one step.
I'll keep looking or maybe just break down and create a script.
I just took a quick look through play store.... maybe ultimate backup could work for you. As I said I haven't used it but it states to have the same type features as Titanium

Found one that karmatoburn created here at xda.
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...apks-all-at-once-from-the-comfort-of-your-pc/
Now if I can figure out a way to do it without the use of a PC. Basically, keep all of my apk files on my SD card in a specific folder and have a script or whatever use that folder to install my apps. Maybe I'll just create something and share. Now I'm just curious if its even possible.

Im speaking out of my a$$ here but im guessing you could
do a flashable .zip and just make sure they install in the right partition
and everything should be good
anyone can correct me if im wrong
The paid version of TiBU installs all the *.apk files stored as a backup.
After a rom flash I go to the market and install TiBU and the paid key, select batch restore and 49 apps are installed in minutes.
Maybe you used the free version and installed one-by-one? A few restores convinced me to upgrade.

Yes, you are correct, however I'm having one hell of a time getting my zip files to install. They run but when they get to the apk file, I get an error message with (status 0) to follow. Basically, I suck at making flash able zip files.

Yea, I use the paid app but I was trying to include tibu in my batch install. Looks like right now tibu is my only option until I can make flashable zips work or create my script.
i remember using the installer on winmo way back. i cant remember the name of the app but i know what you are looking for. i dont have a solution but wish i did. I hate putting all my apps back on with tibu so i dont. i used appmonster and just run the batch and click install and finish until im done. i have all my apks backed up in a folder automaticly with asppmonster. i just keep that folder clean. if i install an app and remove it (trying a new app) and dont want it, i delete it out of that folder. keep it clean.
i cant remember the name of that app and its bothering me.....

Shashimi was one of them. Another really never had a name. It was a script that devs put in their rom that looked for a text file on the SD card that had a list of cab files in it. If it was listed in the text file, it was installed directly after the rom was installed. Just the 2 that I can think of right now. The later was the better of the 2 in my book. It was much simpler to use.

Not entirely true...
When an apk that is not installed is activated(by clicking on it in s file explorer, or downloading it from the market), a system app called packageinstaller.apk is opened, and that installs it.
So you do need another application to install it, it's just a part of the system
I use ROM toolbox pro to restore all my apps after I flash a ROM. It allows you to backup all your apps in batch, and restore various ways in batch. Can install missing apps, system, etc, and can do just apps, apps + data etc.
It also does a bunch of other ****.

Yes, my point exactly. It is handled by the system and not an external app. The title of the thread is App to install apk. The OP mentioned windows based systems. I was letting him know android system does the installing, not some external app.
I could imagine someone new to android downloading apps and not know what to do next.
With a Google search I learned:
1. How to push and install apk's from a pc using an adb shell and one command. Very easy, but you don't always have a pc when you flash a rom.
2. An app in the market can do this from the phone.

If anyone Owns the dopo td-1010 and still has all stock system apps there is a very easy way that you could really help me out! all you would have to do is install titanium backup and make a back up of every single app in the list (besides things you have installed) and then upload the backups somewhere for me . you can get titanium back up here: http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/86267062/file.html . you have to have the device rooted in order to use it. you can root the dopo td-1010 with this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/ ( works perfectly on this device, i have done it myself) PLEASE if there is anyone out there that can help me with this PLEASE get back to me as soon as possible.
You scrath my back, and I'll scratch yours
I have the TD-1010, I can and am will to help you out here, but I am running into a problem you seem to have already figured out.
I was googling the Internets for drivers to TD-1010 for Windows, for the same program/script/batch file you were recommending for rooting the TD-1010. I need to get said drivers before I am able to root the TD-1010 and backup redistribute said OS to you my good sir. At current the script can't find the device without the drivers. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon so I can do you a favor in return.
PS do you have the problem with it randomly freezing, or is that just me...?

So I looked up info on both backup programs, and they are both equivalent to using the add/remove OR uninstall feature of windows. I used Nandroid for the full images you already should have the link to my drop box. Since this is a full copy of my system I do require you not distribute it and remove any of my account settings you may find. Feel free to keep any of the apps I have already installed (they were all free anyways). Good luck

Drivers
IMaybe a little help? I have been following your post and cannot seem to get the drivers to install. I have tried on both w7 and xp. Both computers see it in usb mode but once switched to usb debugging and directed to the driver file you posted it gives me the error the error message incorrect drivers. Any suggestioned would be greatly appericated.
Titanium back up creates compressed file with apk.gz extension. That is where the app is and you can use 7zip or your favorite util to get tin the install file which will have a .apk extension. Once you do that you can install the app. Copy the app to SD or via cloud drive like dropbox and install.
