[q] apk files

---

When i flash my new rom i hate installing all the APPS i use over and over from the market. I want to start incorporating them install the install.

searching for the actual APK file with google is a pain in the ass!

is there a way to download the APK file direct from the market to your PC? it always prompts for an install when all i want is the damn .apk file, i will install it my self.

Even with adb im not sure you can pull all the data that belongs in the apk like save states,stats or logins or anything

Right, but if you want just the apk then they're all in /data/app. I don't use ADB much but I think it's adb pull /data/app or something. Or can use a root file explorer to move em to the your SD to copy onto your PC. But probably all that is more work than it's worth when it won't even back up your app data. Instead you should buy Titanium Backup Pro. Or if cheap get My Backup Root. Then you can easily restore not just the apks but also all your settings and data. Just avoid restoring system app data.

thank you for this.

thanks, i will try out root explorer and see if i am able to pull out the .apk's that is all i really want anyways the setting are not that hard to setup due to not installing much on my shift.

Download es file explorer and use the backup feature to backup the apps you dl. Then after you flash a new rom install es... And just navigate to the backup folder and install that way.

You can restore all your apps in batch mode if you have titanium backup.

Titanium backup is great. However, I'm on the free version and hate having to hit install and done every time.

What you could actually do as an easier but not necessarily better work around is just wipe dalvik and cache and then flash your rom, gapps, and gapps new talk. We actually may have a new gapps with market 3.2 and new talk included up soon thanks to CrashV2010 and the #htc_evo_shift chatroom. Stay tuned.

I love Titanium and firmly believe everyone should buy it but if you're really cheap MyBackup Root is free and does batch restore of apps too.

Who needs a backup when you're always strapped?
