Pardon me but I have been searching and searching for this small bit of info.
But where exactly are Market apps installed to on the G1? What directory are they in. I have an official R30 phone so I am locked out of browsing my folder structure.

You can browse your locked RC30/RC8 phone with the stellar app "astro" from the marketplace, it has many features that you might come to appreciate. Using it you will see a directory with lots of numbers, those are the apps. (sorry not looking at it right now to give specific directions but it is easy to find.)

hey demon,
you think astro is better than android file manager? before android manager was the best but now is astro better? any comparisons to pit one against the other. (P.S. I've been using android file manager)

I like astro much more, the backup function in particular. Basically, astro covers all the parts I need and the interface/customizations are really well done.

Apps are installed into /data/app and their data is stored in /data/data. The name of the apk is its Java package name. So for example, the name of the telephony application is com.android.phone, so the full path to the apk would be /data/app/com.android.phone.apk and the data would be stored in /data/data/com.android.phone/
i like astro much more, it used to be called 'bender' and at that time Android File Manager, now called Linda file manager or something(i think google's coming out with an 'android file manager' so they made them change the name) was much better
theres lot of improvements in Astro Particularly the App back up functionality, used to have to us terminal emulator. also, it has a shortcut utility that lets you make a shortcut to any file and put it on the desktop.
I was trying to use Astro to find locations of caches to redirect them to the SD card since reading through lists in the terminal emulator is a pain. However, when I open the /data folder, using Astro, it shows as empty. Are the contents of this folder somehow hidden? If so, is there any way I can unhide them to Astro? I can pull of a list in the terminal emulator, so I know they are here. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Data directories have permision for her own app, so you must launch astro with root privileges or you wouldn't see nothing. (try in the terminal without root and you will see what happen if you are not root)

Anyone help me please,
I want to write android application for install specify .apk file for sdcard.
Can i implement like this? Please help or advice me.
Thank you very much.
Why don't you use Titanium Backup, a simple file explorer or just browse the market for such an app?
Why do you want to write an app yourself if you have no clue about it? Can you code in Java at all, more than just outputting 'Hello world'?

thank you for answering my questions
Allrite guys was wondering if anyone could help I was trying to get the n64 emulator on my phone but as use no its off the market. I was wondering if use know the procedure to get it 3rd party on your phone or if anyone has any links appologies if this is in the wrong section.
Links are considered Warez and therefore not allowed, anyways you'd somehow have to get a working .apk file of n64oid, then go to your Applications settings and tick Unknown sources. Then you'll be able to execute the .apk with any kind of Data Manager you have installed, can recommend ES Data Manager.

I've never used it but why not try es file explorer? It claims to have a root explorer included.
I need flash able zip...some roms does not include any file manager.. like aokp

You could always download one from the market.
Or use 7-zip to open another ROM.zip, system/app and pull it out. Then use 7-zip again to unzip AOKP, put the file manager into system/app, rezip it and then flash it.
File managers are freely available. Is there a reason why you can't get one from the market. No SIM or WIFI access, maybe?
thank you
OP-thank you.
Many timse now I have flashed on the run. Some times I am on limited data or in a no coverage area. And then the times I don't want to install gapps.... yes... this is very useful.
@woodrube- thanks for the tip on the 7zip trick... I don't know why but I never thought about that. I extract stuff like that all the time... I feel stupid not thinking of that. That will be most use full next time I pan fry bacon. thank you. :highfive:
Xplore is a pretty good file manager. Its user interface us really great for copying files and stuff

The easiest way is to open a rom zip file with 7zip and simply drag your favorite file manager to to /system/app/ folder.
Or you can use this premade flashable zip file and put in your own apks to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572962

i found this quite helpful. i use wifi to connect to the market and having a file explorer from the get-go helps me enter my wifi credentials through a text file vs having to manually enter ridiculously complicated passwords by hand. not to mention my google account credentials. thanks
does this works on every phone?
Nope, just on Android phones
i was looking every where for this. hope works. ty
big thanks.worked perfect on my s advance (aicp rom,4.4)

Hello all
Can someone please do an export of the File app (apk export) - q_release_aml_patch_291601900 ?
See attachments screenshots.
I uninstalled mine because it was keeping to apear on homescreen and now I can't give access to Poweramp folder select (as a crash of that app).
I don't know if it's a Poweramp issue or I did a mistake to uninstall that app.
BTW, I don't understand why have two file manager.
Thanks
