Where do the install the original apk of purchased apps. I can't find them for the life of me.. Like root explorer and some others I have purchased. Where are they in root folders?
/data/app should be it.
I thought so too. Some of my purchased aren't showing up in that folder. I didn't know if they changed things in Kit Kat.

Which rom are u using. To access system partition on NAND, or if the rom requires ext partition, then obviously the apps will be on sd card if it requires ext.So you need root access. Try it with root explorer app.
Does anyone know where the apps from the market are installed? I can use Root Explorer to locate them. I can find the system/apps but can't find the ones I have installed from the market.
Some get stored in /mnt/asec/ I think

Where do you find apps you have download? I want to move some to my system apps but can't find download ones. I'm on glazed ROM 2.1 and can't find the folder using root browser. Any help would be great.
If you've downloaded them from a third party site then they'll appears in "Download" folder.
If you've downloaded them from the Play Store then they'll be in /Android/data

There from play store and there not under data in android folder. I never have had a problem finding them until I went to glazed ROM

Found it was in the data/ app folder

/Android/data is for app's "data", i.e. settings and whatever else the app saves.
Yeah, all installed apps (no matter from where they originally came) are in /data/app.
System apps are in (big surprise :cyclops: ) /system/app
Just saying.

I have also noticed that. Even with es explorer I am not able to send apk files. Work around which I use is to change the extension to .mp3 or anything which can be sent and change back to. Apk in receiver phone.

It works fine using Root Explorer.

Create a Dropbox link?
It seems to be inbuilt limitation by Google, possibly to prevent malicious users to push malware onto other people's phones.
I installed Bluetooth transfer app and now it works well. Tried transferring apk from laptop to phone and it works fine.

Same problem here.
If I try to send an apk between a Galaxy Nexus (JB4.3) and a Nexus 7 (2012 JB4.3) the transfer fails. (es file explorer / apk share / root browser)
Seems that the bluetooth just blocks apk transfers. If I rename the file, it works.
Is a 4.3 security feature? I use to transfer apk before the 4.3.
I think it is a google limitation for prevent to share the pirate apps

Hi All,
I'm looking to remove many of the google apps off my rooted nexus 4. I'm currently running stock KitKat 4.4.2 straight from OTA update.
Many apps such as google drive, google+, hangouts, play games etc I won't be using, yet they are taking up space in my phone.
How can I permanently remove these off my phone? Can it be done? through CWR? through ADB?
If this is not possible, do I need to flash an AOSP custom ROM? I've not opted for this route so far as it's a pain to swap over apps and themes onto a new ROM and I want to experiment with eXposed framework too.
Thanks
If you are rooted just use titanium backup or you can just disable them and they'll disappear from the app drawer

I recommend disabling as removing can coz some minor issues if it breaks rom

Why have you posted this twice at the same time? Root and use titanium or a root explorer to remove system apps, make sure you know what you're doing as removing some system apps can break your rom.

simply delete .apk and .odex in /system/app and /system/priv-app

This. Just make sure to backup everything first, as there can be unintended consequences. Most apps are safe to remove though.
