Help Backing up programs

[DanDroide]

I have been backing up my apps (& data) using "My Backup Pro"

This is handy if I upgrade an app and it either "no longer works", "loses capabilities", or "becomes a paid program". I just uninstall the now "problem app" and restore using MBP. Permissions to allow "non-market" apps must be set before using MBP to restore/activate that apk for that app.

My question is, some apps don't show up enabling to backup on MBP. These are NFL Mobile & HBOGO and maybe others. Is there a way to find the apk for those apps on my Bionic in the file system and just copy them? I have been looking all around and saw that some people (in other forums) have said, when looking for app apks, to look in the System/apps folder but I couldn't find that on my Bionic.

Any help is appreciated!

Until then, I refuse to update those apps in case I lose TV Mirroring capability.

Thanks!

First off you need to be rooted.

Then you will need root explorer or a file management app. Then you can search for your apps and COPY, don't move, the apk file. Astro will also work well.

Have you tried Titanium Back-up? That will also back up apps and a good free one that I used to use is "appBrain", this backs up the app list not that actual apk file so you always have the latest version.
