Does exporting an app as an APK also export its settings? If not, is that a feature you could add?

Currently not. A good feature to consider. Thanks

Hello, I tried to export some applications, but when it created the zip file, it showed that the zip file was damaged/corrupted and/or cannot be opened.

I tried several times with no success.

Can you please tell/explain me what maybe happening??

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I find this app very useful. One cool feature is being able to extract file APKs w/o rooting my Tab. Anyways, is there any way I can transfer the SD Data together with the app? Like Shadowgun App is 6MB, and SD Data a further 350MB. Thanks!

Is there a particular reason we have to continue the installation on our device? Is it for security or something? If not, I think it would be really nice to just let it do everything automatically like the android market so that you can easily install a large number of apps.

How can i restore peviously backedup/downloaded apps? Can it be done in a batch?

Why open the apps via AirDroid i can see apps that are uninstalled on my phone. Their icon is all the same (broken icon) and when I try 'download' or 'uninstall' it keeps telling me that the apps don't exist, but they still remain in the apps list. I tried reinstalling apps and uninstaling them both via AirDroid and default android settings and still have the same problem. Is there a way to fix this?

I've got the same problem.

I'd like to combine all my pics in one folder. Can I move them somehow?
