Google isn't my friend, and i even believe more in xda as on my mother :laugh:
Okay heeere my questions..
Can i move & use my windows host file or an adblockers host file into "system/etc" ?
Are these "nochekin / checkjni"build prop tweaks helpful,.. OK to use ?
How can i backup huge Android Game Data folder, located in "data/data" or "Android/data" ? Titanium & Co, only backup Apk's..
Which SD Card for 25$ you prefer ? any links ?

Lemme try some answers...
You may be able to use the windows files if they are notepad format into an android application but you better copy /pasta the url from that host file into the other file which it is used by an android adblocker
I would suggest adaway.
I never heard of those build.prop files, if they are made for a certain device you better don't use it on another
As far as I know titanium backup does backup the data of any application, you may need the pro version, the titanium backup folder can be safely copied from a device to another.
The sdcard thingie... You better make friends with Google ?
That L-speed app should work for any device regardless rom version, custom or not.
You can disable or freeze the stock launcher although I would not recommend disabling vital stock features or apps, if Nova crashes it might be hard to get into your home screen.
For those above you mainly need root but I guess you already know that and maybe already achieved.
Good luck!

I tried to add some apps to a clean official 2.1 generic rom!
I added all to data/app,but tried system/app,too and then signed
the rom again!
But if I flashed the rom not all apps shown at phone!
What is the problem,why some apps works and other not?
Rootexplorer,Titanium Backup,Autokiller and Linpack works,but
Tapatalk Pro and Zeam Launcher or other Launcher don`t works!
Now I don't know but you might have ran out of space on the phone.
Just sayin
If you put it under data on a "fresh" ROM with no data I have no idea why it does that but if you had apps installed before:

Tried with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714075
Data/app included at the ROM!
Maybe I have to delete some apps,before I add the new apps!
But from the Android Market we can install many apps,so
why it should not possible to add several apps to the ROM?
P.S.Sorry for bad english
Your phone has a memory limit if you reach your limit it won't install the app.
Hm,but memory limit with 7 apps?
From Market I can install more then 7 apps!
EDIT:
Tried now only with "Tapaptalk Pro" not working!
Maybe anybody can check the app,why don`t work if I try to add to the ROM!
Mod edit: Attachment removed, posting licensed apps is against forum rules, first and final warning.
Nobody can help?
Why some apps works if I add them to the ROM and other
don`t available after add them to the ROM and sign the ROM?
Maybe there are problems with classes.dex/odex files?
system/app is where programs like HTC's programs, Gui and other important programs is stored for the phone to access it quicker?
Correct me if i'm wrong.
And the Data is where the programs that you want to install outside the system folder. So you would need to place the .apk's there, and change to setup script or something similar?
Yes,I tried both methods,but some apps not available at phone,after
signing and flashing the ROM!
Some other apps works
I only know apps,lib`s etc.are stored at "MANIFEST.MF"
The apps which I added are stored there,but not all available
at phone!
Example:
Code:
Manifest-Version: 1.0

So before you ask to search, which I have done but cannot come up with anything conclusive. This is perhaps the funky cool openness of Android that there are many solutions out there. If you could please share some of your opinions or experiences, it would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to the SGS II quite soon.
1) iTunes.... As the iPhone utilizes iTunes for the syncing of Apps, Music, Photos, Books and so on, my question is that what is a solution for Android Devices (SGS II) with Apps? Is there a method of backing up the APK files or apps to the computer that can be used at a later time (ADB is one but would like GUI). iTunes backs up download IPA files from phone to PC, and you can select to install them at any given time. iTunes also updates the purchased IPA's without the need of a handset being available.
I ask this question to limit the need to download each app every time I update a firmware. (Bandwidth in India isnt the best and can take time getting a 200MB Game)
2) DoubleTwist seems like a good solution, but does it sync with the stock Music app or requires the DoubleTwist app to play music? I can only assume that Kies will do the needful, but what about all the playlists already built on iTunes? Any Alternatives?
3) SD Card... So it may seem that this can be utilized for everything which includes backups and storage, while updating firmwares, does it require it to be removed so it does not corrupt any data during the update process?
4) Freezing Apps... Does this basically mean that the app exists but all of the files and dependencies associated with it are ignored and not used? Why not just uninstall or delete?
5) ODIN / Rooting... If you could direct me to any links you may have which give good info on the usage, warnings, requirements... Would appreciate it.
6) iOS SMS DB to Android? Do all the SMS Apps on the Android use the same principles and formats? I have read that the SMS DB (which I have extracted) can be formatted via CSV and imported on Android OS. Any guides please and if I import it, is it a central location that it is stored where any SMS app from the Android Market can use that DB or does it create its own DB.
Thats all I can come up with. Anticipating for some great advice and words of caution.
Thanks All.
Some basics applies to SGS1 but most are the same .

) SD Card... So it may seem that this can be utilized for everything which includes backups and storage, while updating firmwares, does it require it to be removed so it does not corrupt any data during the update process?
No but a removal of sim and sd card means no trouble from them .
Sorry can not answer re ITunes i just cut and paste music .
APK backup Titanium backup pro from the market .

1) +1 for Titanium Backup. By far the easiest way to backup files. Most file explorers will allow you to manually copy the apk files out of the apps directory.
2) If you want, you can use DoubleTwist for only the wifi syncing. The music that it imports will be accessible by any app, including the stock music player.
4) Freezing an app is a "trial uninstall" of sorts. It will disable it as far as the user is concerned, but leaves the data there if you want to unfreeze it later. It doesn't require a reinstall, and you'll keep your data for the app.
5) There is a quick rundown of Odin and rooting in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076806&page=4
Thanks Slice.
Let me see if I got this correct. The APK file is like an IPA file consisting of the application data. Backing this up will back up the app?
Upgrading a firmware leaves the app data and app there or deletes it?
Thanks

Yes on the phone will be an app folder with all the installed apps i just copy this to sd card as a quick back up and PC . One can double click any APK and reinstall .
Upgrading a firmware leaves the app data and app there or deletes it?
Depends upon the upgrade genuine Kies upgrade leaves all data and apps .
Unofficial upgrades may not and like wise custom roms may not or may be produced as a wipe version to save install problems .

Make sure your SGS is rooted. And then still it won't always go flawlessly (I had to manually remount my /system before I could get it to work!).
Hi there,
So here's my question, does anyone know how to clone a Nexus 7 into other Nexus 7?
I have 2 applications installed that will need to come across 200 other Nexus 7.
Thanks

Cloning is possible. You'll need to root and install custom recovery on every single one, do a nandroid backup of the original, and do a restore on the rest.
If all you need to do is clone the app and data, root all of them, install a root backup app, do a backup, then share the backup with all of them.
But if all you need to do is install the app on every device (no cloned data), just use an .apk extractor, upload the file to cloud storage (Dropbox, Drive, a website, whatever). You'll have to enable USB debugging on every device and allow installation from other sources, but at least you won't have to root 200 devices.
What exactly is it that you're trying to do? If we knew more, we could help you better. And maybe save you the trouble of doing something 200 times by yourself instead of 200 people doing one thing.

Hi there,
Thanks for the quick response. To answer your question:
1. We have an app that needs to be installed on 200 devices by one person.
2. We need all the Nexus devices to run on 4.4.4, rooted.
3. After the initial configuration of each Nexus, we would need our application to be installed.
4. After the devices have our app installed, we would need to configure our app, one device at a time (specific settings on each device)
Our counter part, iOS, allows us to use Apple Configurator to massively upgrade, install and rename devices on the fly; we basically need to find an android equivalent.
I tried a lot of launchers, none of them was able to do what I want. As I have around 600 apps , it is very tedious to remember what app is put in what folder so I want launcher that allows me to add apps to folder A then when I am adding apps to folder B , I dont want to see the apps that were put in folder A in the apps to be added so that when I reach to folder G , all the apps that were put in the previous folders wont show up in the apps list to be added to folder G. I found few launchers that can do that such as XOS and Hios launchers, but they don't have backup\restore options and I really need such option. Do you know any launcher that has both the folder apps + backup\restore futures ?
Edit: Just bought Novo Prime , does exactly what I needed <3

If your phone is rooted just make a backup of your data with Titanium backup and that's your backup and restore option right there [emoji848]

That's the thing , it is not rooted and I am not planning to root it at all.
I found launchers that have the first future and ones that have the 2nd , I want launchers that have both.

It's very hard to find a launcher that does both .
What I suggest you to do is to install Lawnchair launcher , drag the apps you want to put in the folder A to your home screen. Create the folder A and drag them into it.
Then go to Lawnchair settings and select hide apps, and hide all the apps you put in the folder A (except one to keep the folder from dispearing).
Do this for the folder B, C, ... Until the folder G.
Then unhide every apps (if you want to, that's not necessary) and go to the Lawnchair settings (again).
This time select backup ( or a setting that has a similar name ) and make a backup of your launcher configuration
You'll have the advantage of a really good pixel style launcher (moreover hyper-custumisable) and you just have to do it once.
When you save your launcher config you'll have a file. Keep it preciously, if you reset your phone (or the Lawnchair launcher), you'll just have to go to the settings, hit restore and select the file you got from you backup.
Hope this helped
