Well you had downloaded a lot of apps via play store and you had no backup of these apps...
Then you came across a ROM or you decided to wipe out your data....
And the result...
You lost your apps!
Now you don't need to worry as I bring you the ultimate solution to extract and restore apps & other files from your backup!
So let's get started....
Things you will need:
A Good Advanced File Manager..
I suggest and strongly recommend you to use ROOT EXPLORER app.
I know you have it!
Now extracting of files depends upon which recovery you are using....
For TWRP users::
Go to the TWRP folder in your sdcard where the backup ie present..
Now if you want to extract downloaded apps n other files then Copy " data.ext4.emmc.win " don't take the md5 file! and paste it somewhere else...
Now rename the file by just adding " tar.gz " at the last ...
It should now look like this:
data.ext4.emmc.win.tar.gz
Now long press it and click "Extract All"
or simply extract it...
Now after the completion of extraction you will get all tha files from that backup...
Now to restore apps simply go to the " app " folder..
You will see all the apps in that...
Now to install them all at once just copy all the files and paste them here at the root
/data/app
Now reboot ...
It will show a message android is upgrading ..
Optimizing app 1 of 3X
Wait till it completes...
And guess what you got all your apps back....
To restore the settings of these apps copy their respective folder from tge extract to
/data/data
Similarly you can extract system partition too!
For CWM/philz touch users::
YOU TOO CAN USE THE ABOVE METHOD BUT IF IT FAILS THEN TRY THIS ONE..
Go to SD card/clockworkmod and copy your file according to your need what you want to extract..
To extract and restore apps copy:
"data.ext4.tar.a" to somewhere else
DO NOT COPY data.ext4 tar!!!!
Now rename the file by just adding " tar " at the last ...
It should now look like this:
data.ext4.tar.a.tar
Now long press it and click "Extract All"
or simply extract it...
Now after the completion of extraction you will get all tha files from that backup...
Now to restore apps simply go to the " app " folder..
You will see all the apps in that...
Now to install them all at once just copy all the files and paste them here at the root
/data/app
Now reboot ...
It will show a message android is upgrading ..

And guess what you got all your apps back....
