Could I use the app backup folder on a tablet to install the apps on a Nexus?

Hi folks,

I have a cheapish android tablet with 8gb storage (made up of 1 gb and a so called sd card of 5.6gb storage.

I have installed a lot of apps and have used a tool called all in one toolbox to backup the apps. That backup folder is now on my 5,6 gb partition in tablet. I have also transfered the backup folder to my pc.

I intend to get a Nexus in near future and rather than downloading all the apps again I was wondering if I put the toolbox bakup folder on the nexus installed the "all in one toolbox app" would it be possible to do a batch install of all the apps from the backup folder? The all in one toolbox app is capable of batch install, so it says.

But would it work on the nexus do you think since it has only one large partition?

Thanks for any info.

    if they were downloaded thru the play store you could log into your account on a browser and click the install button from there, it's quicker/easier to do than donig it on the device itself i found - not sure about a true batch installer, I would head over to xda forums to ask about that
