Backing up Oculus APK files.

I noticed that after re-partitioning my sdcard and adopting it as internal storage, that Oculus apps stopped updating for me. I just thought I would share the method I used to work around the issue.

The following commands are run via ADB:

First, and you only need to do it once, we'll make a folder to house backed up apk files:

Code:

---

mkdir /sdcard/oculus_downloaded_apks

---

Second: we loop infinitely watching for new apk files to show up in the oculus_downloaded_apks folder within download and copy them to our backup folder:

Code:

---

while :; do find /sdcard/download/oculus_downloaded_apks/ -name "*.apk" -exec cp {} /sdcard/oculus_downloaded_apks/ \; -exec echo {} \; ; done

---

The above will appear to just sit there, if it doesn't kick you back to the adb line, don't worry it's working.

Third: download the apps you need to update via the oculus app. If they were failing to update before, they still will, but there will now be an apk file for the app stored in /sdcard/oculus_downloaded_apks that you can install manually.

Hope this helps someone.
