I have a Droid Eris, and in preparation for the impending firmware update, I am trying to back up my apps to an SD card. I downloaded AppMonster and noted that 2 free and 1 paid app are marked 'protected'. I proceeded to 'Backup' and noted those 3 did not back up. How can I get the paid app to save to an SD card? It is the Pure Calendar Widget.

I want to backup my apps and do a factory reset, but I did this one time with my orginal Droid and the apps restored, but they never showed up in the Market as downloaded and I never got updates for them Is there any way around this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was looking for a Windows based tool that can make a complete backup image of my SD card (just didn't want to lose 13gb worth of photos and music). I tried the native Windows backup program, Ghost, and just about every other backup solution with no luck. I did run into a free program called "USB Image Tool" and it does just what I need. Once you mount your SD card on your phone, this little program will allow you to create an IMG image and also has restore functions. It is located at:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried the AppBackupReinstall app when I switched EVOs and reinstalled all my apps. But now when I go into the Market it doesn't show any as installed so it doesn't check for updates. The only ones it shows are the purchased apps or the ones I installed from the Market. I can even download the same apps that are already installed and it will download and overwrite them. Any way to back up free apps so they can be reinstalled AND show up in your Market Downloads?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI followed the instructions to create an application signing key and have signed my application and submitted it to the Android Market. Now I am trying to backup my key to make sure it doesn't get lost, but I can't figure out how to do this on Windows Vista.When I look in the directory where I ran keytool to create the keystore I can't find the keystore file. When I use eclipse to sign the application and browse to that directory it shows me that the file <my_company_name>.keystore is there and lets me select it as the keystore for signing my application. But when I look in the directory using windows explorer or a command prompt the file is not there (I do have it set to show me hidden and system files). I also tried looking in places like C:Users<my_user_name> and C:Users<my_user_name> Documents but could not see the keystore anywhere.
I ran the keytool command with "keytool -list -keystore <my_company_name>.keystore" and is does list the keystore and shows that it contains the alias <my_app_name>. However I tried running "keytool -keyclone -keystore <my_company_name>.keystore -alias <my_app_name> -destkeystore <my_usb_thumb_drive> <my_company_name>.keystore -dest <my_app_name> -keypass <the_alias_password>" and keytool tells me that "alias <my_app_name> does not exist. I tried different combinations for several hours but was unable to figure out how to get it to make a backup of my signing keystore on my usb thumb drive.I would greatly appreciate any help in pointing me in the right direction. After reading the warnings about not losing your signing key, I feel that making a backup is critical, but I can't figure out how to find the keystore or get keytool to make the backup. I searched but have not been able to find any instructions that work to do this. It seems like an issue that every developer needs to be concerned about.
Rather than asking about how to move apps to the SD card, which I'm sure has been done to death, I'm wondering about what happens when your phone finally gets an OTA update that allows native SD apps.Will Google provide something that will allow you to easily port your crowded apps over to the SD card? Or are we all going to have to just suck it up and reinstall everything?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs is possible to load/install apps by simply putting the APK file on a SD Card?
I'm trying to figure out a way to preinstall apps (prior to handing them out i mean) in a large corporate environment without the need of going though Marketyplace.
I know I can point the device to an APK file on the web and do an install that way, but I'm looking for a way to preinstall the app in a more expedited way. Ideally, writing this onto SD and poping in the Card into each device is ideal in our setup. Is this possible? Any suggestions?
I'm looking for a good app manager that will allow me to send apps to the sd card and free up some phone memory. Also need to know how to work whatever app suggested.
