Guys is it possible to get the .apk files of apps downloaded from google play.....
As i need such thing damn seriously....
So frnds plz rep as soon as possible....
Download "App Backup & Restore App" From Google Play And Backup All Apps To Your Sdcard And Check The Backup Folder ..All Installed Apk Files Will Be Seen..Or
Check /data/app For Apps Installed In Internal Memory And
check /mnt/asec For Apps That Are Installed In SD Card..
Easy Way To Check These Folders Is To Download "Root Explorer" From Google Play..
thnks for the rep frnd.....
So did i need to root my device to have such thing?????
To Use Root Explorer You Need To Root Your Device..But Rooting Is Not Required For "App Backup & Restore" App...Hit Thanx
ok ok....
Thanks a lot lot lot dude....
try this Save Master
no root required!
You can also use apk extractor. It's in the play store. No need to root.

Hi. Been searching everywhere and cant find a way to reinstall timescape.
I have tried system/apps but the apk is not there anymore or anything that is connected to Timescape.
The reason I deleted timescape is because it is one of the reasons that the battery life is so bad on the X10.
Now I cant get to my contacts. I am using acontacts.apk but for some reason the resolution is very bag on my contacts pics.
I have found a timescape.apk but it says it cannot install on my device. Maybe the apk is compatible for certain builds?
Maybe someone can suggest another app for contacts with a better pic resolution.
Thanks in advance
Oh yes : using rooted 026
Here a the Timescape.apk file
Thanks man.
DL now will let you if everything is cool.

You need to correct the permissions of the apk file once you have copied it over to system\app otherwise it will give you the error you stated in your earlier post.
@ dong2007 - Hi thanks man worked like a bomb.
@ Marylandcookie : I didnt have to change permissions just installed .apk
I thought that there were diff. versions of timescape.apk for diff. firmwares thats y it didnt work with the one I dl

oh you mean you want to download the filename.apk and install it yourself right?
by using titanium backup,it works very much like.You can install every application that you backup one by one same as you do with the apk files but the downside is you still dont have the .apk files.
you woudl have to save the apk files to your pc fromthe phone, you cannot download from the market directly to your pc

There are two ways to move apps to sd
1 - go into applications in phone settings
select the app you want to move
select move to sd card
Note this option is not available with all apps and may break them
Widgets cannot be moved to sd card this way - they will not work
2 - use link2sd
Create 2nd ext partition in cwm (it will format sd card so backup)
Install & run link2sd app & select the correct ext for your kernel (EXT4 is most common)
Go to settings in app select auto link
Your can manually move (link) apps to sd card by clicking them & selecting create link
Note this method requires root & is much better than option 1 as apps will not break
For more info see link2sd thread

It is downloaded first and then installed..if u want to keep a copy of the apps instead of backing them up..open any root file explorer and go here..
/data/app
You'll find all your play store installed .apk files over there..

That is correct - you can also use root uninstaller which can back them up for you and can also be used to reinstall apps not currently installed on phone that you have previously downloaded
@eatheat u r correct bro but the problem is he should have root acess to see that and if he uninstall a app then that apk file in root folder will also get deleted n he won't b having any backup to install in future..

Easiest way is Just download a file maneger like es file explorer or astro file maneger. You can easily backup installed apps without having to root.

@Everyone ..he asked where it all went..not how to back them up..
If he wants to back up..he can just take anything off the store..I use Astro and DroidSail super app remover for backing up system apps..

Well, thing is.. you dont need root access to see /data/app folder.. try opening ES file explorer and see root folder and you can copy those apk files to sdcard without root permission...
Anyway op's question has been answered..

Use a root browser like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, and copy the .apk files into data/app
Reboot into recovery, and fix permissions
How do I fix permissions or is there an option to do that in clockwork mod?
Also, would it be possible to use mobileodin to do that instead

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, to try and install with your original method, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.
