Hello,
I'm looking to obtain a certain .apk from the marketplace, I understand that I need to have something like Astro or Titanium Backup installed to do this and to have those my phone needs to be rooted. I've looked into rooting my phone but it looks to be a bit beyond me.
I was wondering if someone with a rooted phone could use one of the backup apps and get the .apk file for me? The app I need the apk for is the Rift Mobile Authenticator.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Here you go.
If you're looking to get the apks of any apps that you've already downloaded from the Market, then you don't need a rooted phone. You can use MyBackup Pro to backup your apps. Root not required. If you just want to get the apks of certain apps, download the app in the link below. You can export the apks of your apps using that.

Open market, go to downloads.
I can't think of any other reason for knowing the location other than to steal apps, and if that's your intention you are asking on the wrong boards.
If you download Root Explorer on the market you can search your phone for installed apps, I'm sure you can figure it out from there, and I will leave it at that.
Good day sir.
Edit: There are plenty of backup apps that can backup your apps for you if that is your goal. I hear Titanium Backup is a good one.
got it man.. Thanks
does anyone know where on the phone market installed apk's are located? i thought they would be in \system\app, but i cannot find them using droid explorer. i need to pull some old apk's that have updates that reduce the functionality of the app.
thanks.
root directory, then /data/app
thanks chromium. in the back of my head, i knew that at one point.
I rooted with Z4Root, and now I'm trying to replace my flash with a modified .apk. Can anyone run me through on how to remove the already installed programs that came stock on the device? For instance flash....
Titanium backup will do it. Also root explorer and a host of other apps on the market.
Be careful though, as some stock Alps have no apks and wont get backed up - the only way to reinstall will be to flash!
Thank you!
I have some friends that want me to install Phiremod onto their Nook Colors. What is the easiest way for me to install free apps in bulk without using the market? I thought it would be cool to have a bunch of free apps loaded on it for them so they don't have to install them all manually. Thanks!
Either push them with adb as a data/app folder or my preferred method....Open the rom with 7zip pre-flashing and just copy the apk's over.

Cool. I'll try that. But where is a safe place to legally obtain the free apps as .apk files?
I'd like that info too
OK guys. There are a couple of ways I do this. You can download any rom for any device, open it up and pull the .apk's you want out of it, you can find them on your android phone and transfer them to your Nook, and you can find a lot of good ones right here on XDA. I have a whole library of apps that I've saved over the last couple of years. They're all backed up on my computer andf my dropbox account. Let me know if there is anything in particular you're looking for if I have it I'll share.
Dear all,
Yesterday I updated my P7510 to ICS using the UK ICS release and rooted the thing properly. I managed to delete some of the preinstalled apps using RootExplorer in the \system\app folder, but for example I cannot find the apk to get rid of Pulse (what is the name of the apk in this case). Is it located somewhere else or is there another folder in which apps are stored as well? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Although I can help you with the location, manually deleting the apps from /system/app seems like to much "work". Just get Titanium Backup and uninstall (and probably backup first) Pulse and all the other via the app.
Thanks for your reply. In the mean time I kicked out all unwanred preinstalled apps manually, so I am only looking for the apk name of pulse
I found that some apps were just "Installed" have you tried to just uninstall them?

Not all apps are installed to /system/apps when you ODIN flash, check /data/app for the Pulse.
