Ok, so I'm definitely no expert, and I've done a bit of searching seeing that people are trying to find ways to backup their proprietary google bits when it comes to the Cease and Desist order laid down upon Cyanogen. I was messing around in Terminal Emulator today and found a way to list all of the proprietary bits. I was wondering why it gives me this message, when I try to copy one of these files to the SD card?

Once I understand why it "omits" the directory, and fails to copy the file, I will continue working on getting these bits to backup, so we can keep our google apps. Me personally, I use Google Maps like it's going out of style, so losing it is not an option for me, but I love CyanogenMod Roms. Thanks for any help. I can post the rest of the code if need be.

Nevermind. I messed around with it a bit more and found out how to do it. I can now copy the proprietary google apps, to the sd card. Here is the command I used in order to make it work.

$ su
cd /data/data
ls
(It will list all of the software on your device)
cp -r "insert app name here"
cd /sdcard
ls

If you look now, whatever named app you copied, will now be on your sd card!

So, is anyone up for helping me write a script, and or app that will allow this to run?
