Does anyone know where the apk that we download from adroid market are stored in our phone before they start automaticly to install ?
The apks are on /data/app folder.
I don't know if they strored first in another folder(maybe in /tmp or /sdcard/downlads), but you can find them on data/app folder if you want them.
I wondering about this too.

/system/app for the most part.. if there is a /system/data file, there may be some in there. Also apps downloaded from the market are stored directly in /data/app or data/app-private

this is an easy way, but if you wanna browse your system files directly search around for Android Commander

If you're rooted you can force-install the app by moving the apk into the /sytem/app folder or /system/priv-app folder.
Note: System apps are installed in /system/app folder. User apps are installed in the /system/priv-app folder.
Then set the right permissions for the apk, reboot your device and you're done.

You had a similar app already installed and it was moved to sdcard
So now you have to identify which app is this and then uninstall it from your phone
Second option is to insert your sdcard into pc and then you will get /.android_secure folder then just look for the file and delete it
But i will recommend to remove deprecated app first.

Hello, this is my first post here ... (but that is not what matters now lol).
Well a few days ago, I was looking at some options in the "Link2SD" app and I was curious to test one of them, which was "transform the system app into a user app", and to do the test, I decided to choose the app system gallery app. And now it doesn't work anymore, every time I try to enter, it says "Gallery has stopped". And because of this I can't set up my background wallpapers to the *home and lock screen* How can I solve this? thanks for the attention

Hello! First of all excuse my English, I am using Google Translate.
So I hope you can at least understand me...
When you convert a system application to a user application the apk is saved in a root folder:
"/data/app/" so from there you can search the gallery folder and apk file, example: "/data/app/com.example.secgallery". copy that folder and paste it in "/system/app" or "system/priv-app" and restart the cell phone. Or you can create a folder too and paste the apk inside that folder in the system files. Cheers!

In: system / priv-app, this folder already exists and contains the apk inside, there is also a folder called "lib", and in it, there are no files.
I also checked the directory: data/app/
and there is no com.sec.android.gallery3d folder
Should i move the folder:
com.sec.android.gallery3d...Which is at: system/priv-app to: system/app ?
Because in: "system/app" this folder doesn't exist
