Hello.
I want to move some files to app system folder.I have root and im using root explorer.
I did this other times i moved shazam smart tools, tapatalk.Now i want to move office and titaniumbackup pro.
When i move it from sd card it says operation failed.
U can use Titanium Backup Pro to convert to sytem app.
Open TB, select Backup/Restore, select ur app, scroll to the right to Special features, scroll down to the Convert to system app option.

Im sorry i have been using root browser.
Now i installed root explorer and it says that it is not enough free space on that folder.
Is ok to delete some apps i have moved in the past without uninstalling them.
Example. i have shazam encore.Can i delete the apk file from app folder without loosing the app ?

Of course not. Android apps are self contained. And why do you need to move stuffs to /system? The cappy have a 1gb data partition, and most data are stored on the SD card, not on the NAND flash like with iPhones(this is not entirely accurate, but close enough)

Hello
Just like in the topic. How and what to use to backup apps ??
Thanks
i beleive that the ASTRO file manager (free) gives you the option for apps backup to your sd!
Just used ASTRO. Noticed 'Power Manager' was designated 'private' so I could not back that up
If its Copyrighted/copy protected it won't be backed up
You could also use root explorer I think - it worked on my magic, I copied the folder "apps" from /data/apps to SD and I think I also managed to copy
one from /system/apps which had all the preinstalled apps in it.

Ok will try root explorer. Many thx
I've done searches, but, cannot find this. I have found several .apk's in /system/app but, those appear just to be what they would seem, system apps.
I'm looking to backup my items such as lightening Bug, iHeartRadio, Jorte, WiFi Analyzer, Beautiful Widgets etc. that I have downloaded from the Market to a folder on my hard drive, just because, 1, I have the space, and 2, if something happens and those things disappear from the Market, I want to be able to install them again should I ever have to wipe my phone or decide to pay with different ROM's which I may very well do. I have ES File explorer, but, I still cannot find where these files are.
Thanks!
Use titanium backup to back them up and access easily. As for originally I have no idea.

I'm using ES File Explorer, and at the top, I am in /
down in the list I see
dev
etc
mnt
proc
to name a few, I also see data, but, when I choose data, it says Empty Folder.
From the Market, these files are downloaded to the device, right, not the SD card. I am using Titanium Backup, but, I also would like to have a backup of the backup, to be safe. One backup is never enough.
Thanks.
I use root explorer and when I open it up there is a data folder that has a sub folder called app and they are all in there....

They are downloaded to /cache on 2.1 or below, then installed to /data/app. Es won't see it, you need root explorer or do commands as root in adb or terminal. If using a2sd, you still go to /data/app but the folder is symlinked to your ext partition on sdcard.
Froyo is a little different. It downloads to /sdcard/download, and is installed to /data/app if internal or, if external, /mnt/asec which points to a .android-secure folder on your sdcard fat partition.

ES will do it if you are on CM. In ES, you need to go to Settings. Then at the very bottom of settings you should see root options. Enable those and tell it you are using CM. Now you will be able to see the /data contents.
Thanks. This did work too, but now I already have Root Explorer too. But I'm sure it will come I'm handy. Thanks again.

I'm trying to cut and paste the Amazon Appstore APK to my system/app directory, by way of Super Manager on my Auto Nooted 3.0 Nook Color. When I cut the Amazon APK from my SD card (downloaded by way of Dropbox) and try to paste it into my system/app folder, I get a "Not Enough Free Space" popup, and the apk is automatically copied into the system directory only.
I did select R/W when prompted by Super Manager.
There's plenty of space left on the device. What am I doing wrong that is causing me to get this free space error?
Thanks for your help.
Space on the device, and space on the partition are two very different things. I use Root Explorer, and that tells you exactly how much space is available in the partition...

Still should be plenty of space. There's nothing but the rooted OS and about 10 apps. Regardless I'll check using another utility.
I'll try a reboot as well.
Thanks for the quick reply.
You need root and need to set the folder to r/w to write to that directory.
You should really be putting that file in the data/app folder instead.

I don't know if this will help you or not but I'm rooted v1.1.0_r2 and here's what I did:
(I already had apps Installer on my NC - from the Android Market - I thin it is free)
1 - move the apk form desktop to nook via dropbox
2 - moved the apk to the root of the SD card
3- run Apps Installer
That's it! Amazon AppStore works well.
Hallo,
When I try to install an app it say not enough memory. If I check my internal sd there is more than 2 gb free. I have also deleted couple of apps, still the same error.
Seems like You have old .odex of this app on phone, You must delete it from data/app (root is required)

I have root but the data folder is empty just like all other folders in /...
Is that normal?
And I still don't know wy the phone is saying there is not enough memory .
Someone????
Open data/app via Root Explorer, it mustn't be empty
Okay I have it now, and I must delete which app? Will that fix the problem?
You must delete these .apk and .odex which You have to install from Google Play, if You won't find it, just write which application You want to install (and it have error) and i'll try to help You
Thanks, its working now

To move some apps like android terminal emulator you must add lib(from this app) to /system/lib or something else. About titanium backup/pro i preffer to stayin' it in /data

OK i mean the some app like Root Explorer don't need to move lib(s) (from this app) to /system/lib to working fine without ForceClose(FC) but some apps like Android Terminal Emulator need to move lib(s) (from this app, just open it like package file as rar or zip with 7zip or winrar on PC and copy lib(s) from folder(s)) to /system/lib. But i don't know how Titanum Backup work when you copy this app to /system/app and change permisions(rw-r--r-- / 644) and restart phone. Maybe it'll work good without FC or will FC . I hope you understand what i tell you

^^ THIS
make sure you have root, download and install Link2SD then grand access to root permission (if not using to to make more space or its orginal intended use) then skip when it asks for partition info by pressing back.
select app you want to move then select convert to system app for normal apps or intergrade update into system for updates to system apps like playstore etc.
REBOOT phone after doing it all to get rid of forsed closes. Some apps dont like being used like this. You can also try Apps2Rom in playstore I have used but prefer L2SD as I use it for more memory my linking apps to the SD
