Yes I also saw that yesterday but I remember someone posting something while being rooted them being able to go into some sort of temp folder and grabbing what they just downloaded on their g2.

If you already downloaded it on your g2, the apk file should be in data/app
You need a Root explorer like 'ES File Explorer' for it to acces the map.
Or isnt that your question?

Well, if you have the directory for where I can find my downloaded apks then sure. Do you?

Please see FAQ from apk-downloader where it states:
Is is against Android Market’s ToS?
- I’m afraid that it is. Please read Section 3.3 for more information. So again, you at your own risk.

As XDA Forum Rules specifially state "Don't get us in trouble.", please refrain from posting such that would violate any Terms of Service. Link removed.
Also let me remind you that XDA does not promote the use of Warez so if it is the intent of the OP to reproduce paid APK's by asking this info, you may want to go elsewhere.
Thank you.

My apologies TRM. I was at work when I saw that and didn't get to read up on it. Thank you for removing the link.

Exactly why I didn't realy want to use it.
I got es file explorer and went into /system/app directory but it only shows the stock apks. It doesn't show the downloaded apks from the market... all the settings are enabled for root visibility... what am I doing wrong?

Afaik I don't think you can just grab them. There are means of obtaining the apk files which I won't talk about, and don't PM me about it. Now, if you want those said apks for backup purposes, just install titanium backup.

I use a certain app from market that allows you to pull the APK of an already installed app so you can sideload on another device. My particluar use is taking apps that aren't available for my tablet from my phone and transfering it over (Tiny Tower, Contacts, etc...)

Use ES File Manager, press menu, select app manager. U will see all the app that u already install. Hold the icon for the app & select backup. U will get the apk.

For future reference, you extract the zip file which is provided in the Android Developmental section then you go into system/app

You may have to install to your system folder...
If so...
Put on the root of your sdcard
adb remount
adb shell
install /sdcard/blockbuster_htc.apk /system/app/
My guess would be nope. But lets see what the OP says when he tries to install.
No it won't work

i don't know where to get those files from or even what to do. this is what i'm going to do. i'm going to flash a rom that has that included then i'm going to titanium backup the blockbuster apk. once i do that, hopefully tb backs up everything that is needed to run the apk then i will just do a restore of blockbuster after i flash back to cm6. i will probably try the new nightly to see what that new lock screen looks like.
Yea there are a couple of drm files that your going to have to copy over as well. If you download the ota alone its easier to pick it out the stuff you'll need.

[Q] Remove ads from apps & games

Probably a newbie question. How do I prevent ads from games/apps showing up. It can get quite annoying.

Or you could just leave that "annoyance" and each time you get annoyed, remember that this is the reason you're getting stuff FOR FREE, and this is your way to support the developers. And if you don't like the ads - PAY.

Cleaning up bloatware.....

I just finished rooting and installed root explorer and was wondering if there is any unneeded extras I can remove?
Thanks

I wouldn´t remove apps just rename then. Cause Acer looks for the apps when you want to update. Then you get massive problems - just have a look to a lot of topics here...
use search please
I would listen to corn3d79, don't erase the apps. Read around the forums

Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
youre almost better off using PM (android package manager) in a terminal or adb shell to disable or freeze the apps you dont want. you can also do this in apps like titanium backup.
this way, you're not renaming files and later forgetting to name them back to the original files, and it'll keep your 'frozen' settings after updates.

There's advantages to freezing/disabling apps using Titanium Backup or Package Manager (built into Android system). The first one is that its built-in function and you do not have to alter filenames and have to remember to rename them back later. Secondly, I don't think it affects what apps show up in the market place. Some apps require special permissions from certain things like PHONE or CAMERA, etc. If you disable it, I believe it won't affect the marketplace, however if you rename the file, the system doesnt think its there period and will think your tablet is incompatible with the apps.
note: this really only applies to people who are renaming phone.apk, etc.

Directly from a Swype representative
Just to clarify, the version we ship to OEMs is NEVER beta. OEMs only get a fully tested, release-ready version. The beta is just that: a beta branch. New features that we haven’t set to OEMs yet.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
is there any reason you are wanting the Beta?
there actually is. I wanted to test out the new features
You are going to have to use a root explorer and remove the Swype apk and possibly a library file. Seek out threads showing how to push it to your phone and do the reverse. The beta seems well worth it, if only for the new prediction mechanism without the popup.
You are not going to be able to test out the new features unless you are a registered beta user. The beta available on the website is not the beta for the newer version. That beta is only available to original swype beta testers. They are not accepting new testers.
Would you know where the swype apk is located and a good root explorer?

Yesterday I went to beta.swype.com, registered, downloaded the Swype Installer, and it downloaded the latest version (3.5.xxx). I know that version was just released because they've been Tweeting about it, so apparently the beta is the newer version. Unless there's something out there newer than 3.5.

It's located in /system/app. The file manager I use is Root Explorer.

Super Manager is a GREAT free root explorer it's all i use.
Also Android Commander is a great Windows/Linux based Root explorer. You can use your PC/Linux machine to navigate the root folders and edit as needed.
I tried to delete the apk and it said I couldn't because it was a system file

Nope, With our phones you must be rooted to do anything permanent to the /system folders on our phones. Once you reboot the phone it will put everything back the way it came from. That even goes for TempRooting with VISIONary r11/r14.
So how would I root.
I'm sorry for all the questions.I'm a noob

Well i would recommend setting up your SDK, or just the ADB drivers (link for that in my signature). And make sure you understand the basics of ADB commands. What they are, what they do, and when you use them. Then i would learn what a ROM, Kernel, Recovery Image, hBoot, and Radio file are, are their basic functions. then visit the development section and find a thread [should be stickied]. And go from there. Being this is your first time rooting a device i would HIGHLY encourage you to read, read, read and read. Basically read till your eyes bleed then read some more. About rooting, the benefits and the possible damages. Then go from there. More people brick their phones due to ignorance more than any other reason.

ADB allows you to run commands from your computer, which can be useful if you "get into trouble". See here for an easy setup guide.
As for rooting guides, here are the two most popular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
I recommend the first. If it doesn't work, you may have the "bad" eMMC, in which case you'll want to try the second one.

That is the first thing I did. It first asked confirmation for replacing a system app. When I gave 'Ok' it says 'Application not installed'. Because of this only I tried copying the files to system/app folder.

This is not the one. I'm talking about the Nexus One's default wallpaper, which will be available in LG P500's stock froyo ROM also. I think it will be available in the first set of apks you provided. But I'm facing the issue of installing.
Anyway thanks for your help mate. I'll try to install those apks somehow.
Try Nexus Revamped Pro on Market.
And what about Microbes live wallpaper from Nexus? It has been ported to SGS, so is it possible to have this in OO?
