Running great so far, Not major differences from stock like the debloat. I want my Lets golf 2 back though.

I wanted Let's Gof back as well as I love golf and golf games. What I did was 1st I did a nandroid of my current setup then I restored my stock nandroid. Using root explorer I copied the apk from /system/app. The apk is named vzw_golf.apk and I pasted it to my sdcard. Then restored my nandroid of Perfect Storm and using root explorer I went to sdcard and clicked on on the app to install. Now it's in /data/app and can be backed up and restored from titanium or My Backup.

clever :cool: could this be used to transfer between phones as well? transfer from the SD card to a file on the PC,then to a different phones SD card? ive got a "bloom county" comic app on my inc that id like to have on the TB... but its no longer inthe market.

am i correct that a .apk is not phone specific?

O.K, so I rooted my bolt, backed up all system data and apps with titanium backup. I just flashed my first rom and was wondering if I did a batch backup restore with Titanium, would it reinstall all the bloat apps that this rom removed. Will the system data from my last rom mess with this rom? Does restore all system data and apps restore my home screens?
Thanks in advance!

Should work since they have the same screen resolution.

It's never a good idea to restore system items unless they are highlighted in green. If they are red you should not install them. I can tell you that I tried to restore let's golf using titanium to no avail.
