Does anyone know how to backup an app like Beautiful Widgets? How the heck do you extract it from the phone?

You can use the Astro File Manager and it will create the .apk file for you...

In some way, I knew this is coming... Hopefully it will not get ugly and turn into a lawsuit.

Thanks dood! I'll give it a shot.

Since I don't see the app in the Market any more, I'm guessing the Dev took it down. Does anyone know if Verizon will remove the apps from our phone? If so, will that basically mean that even if we back them up, we can't ever use them on the phone again without Verizon freaking out or re-deleting the app?

Thanks for any help with the matter!

All the developers have to do is change around the coding, make them interact a tad bit different and they are no longer the same. There are also ways around the laws, if you've created something, if i remember correctly, someone only has to change 7 details about it before it's no longer your object. Just because something looks the same doesn't mean it is. But the main thing is they can't just steal the coding for it, and go off with that. They would pretty much have to start from scratch or almost from scratch.

I also agree that if it were a free app (beautful widgets) they wouldn't be here.

open Astro > click Menu > Tools > Application Manager/Backup > select the app you want!

Thanks so much! That worked great.

I'm kinda surprised at all the apps that were blocked from back ups. Bummer!

IP law is a bit more complicated than that.

WTF?!?! Open platform?.... my a$$

Open Platform doesn't mean "wild west free-for-all with no regard for the law".

Doesn't help that he charged for them. I wonder if that had something to do with it? Secondly, could Weather Widget be next?
