[Q] Pulling an App

[nguyendqh]

Could anyone tell me how I can take an app from my old MT4G and put it on my Amaze?
Apparently the app is no longer available on the Market and I don't like any of the other options.

Thanks for any help.

Can you not back up your app using Titanium Backup, move your backup to your Amaze and use titanium to restore that one app? I'm new to Android but seems like an idea..

Or you can use root explorer, browse to your system/data partition and look for the app_name.apk file if you downloaded it or system/apps if the app came with the phone and look for the same file and copy that file to your memory card and install it on your new device normally or by placing it in the same folder you took it it out from on the old phone, though you'll need root privileges to do that on the new device.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I should have thought of that before.
Thanks. I'll give it a try now. Lol. I actually paid for TB I might as well use it.

I will try both ways. Would TB need root access on the new phone?

Depending if you're backing up the app+data or just the app, if it's just the app you won't need root access, but app+data will require root.

It's just the app, which if anyone is wondering is "Craigslist Notification".
One of the best free CL apps out there.
And I would know because I downloaded 6 different ones on the Amaze and didn't like ANY of them.
The ones with pictures had no prices, the one with prices had no pictures.
The ones that had both, had no "save" feature...so on and so forth.
So I still have the app on my old MT4G and just wanted to pull it off there and install it on the Amaze.
For some reason the app is no longer on the Market.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to attempt to move the app now.
Will report back.

or if you have adb setup you can use:

adb pull /system/app/[I][COLOR="Red"]nameofapp[/COLOR][/I].apk

\

then you will find it in your computers user directory

It's not part of a ROM or system files guys, it's actually an app that was once available on the market, I used to use it at one point in time, so can you post the apk file when you pull it please OP.

So I'm back from the beach and burnt to a crisp BUT I got the app on my Amaze now!!! WOOT!!!!
Used Root Browser Lite on the MT4G to copy the apk from /data/app to /sdcard.
Then moved that apk on to my desktop.
Plugged in the Amaze and dropped it on the phone then used Astro File Manager to browse to the apk and install it.
Everything is working fine now and I have a copy of the apk on my computer if anything should ever happen.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys. I really really appreciate.
I can't live without this app. I LOVE getting deals on Craigslist.

And Dark, am I allowed to post the apk up?
I have the free version, so it's not a paid app.

Once it's a free app, there's nothing preventing you from posting it bro.
