Hello, I hope this is the correct place to ask.
Im using an S4. I'd like to know where do all the apk that are downloaded from google store kept? I'd like to keep the apk so its easier to install the next time. because i like to try different kinds of rom, and usually restoring apps causes lag or other kinds off problems, so its better to fresh install apps, right? Since my internet is limited, if its possible id like to know how to keep the apk thats downloaded from play store.
I hope someone could enlighten me.
Thank you very much.
(Btw, sorry English is not my first language)
Download es file exploror then navigate to /data/app

Hi
I have a uk milestone and I messed up my android market
Can anyone upload his market apk and also market updater
please
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
That is pretty much impossible because Google doesnt share the market app for download.. they have copyright on it or something like that, i dont know exactly the reason but you can always google it
Not an official google apk
U just need to pull the market apk from the /system/app directory it is called vending.apk and marketupdater.apk

I have uploaded the two apks from my Milestone. Let us know if they work.
Hi,
I don't know what happened with my market app. Before I rooted and installed GOT rom, I had seen that the market app had comments in another tab/button. Now after using GOT, I restored my phone to the latest original stock version (still rooted). I don't see that change any more
Anyone please confirm this?
Thanks!

thx worked like a charm using adb
How did u adb the file nerazouri i have the same problem but cant install from file manager...please give steps and code
otherwise you could've just gone on ROM Manager and downloaded the Gapps package under CM
Force Closing
I've downloaded and Installed the APK thru QuickOffice... but when I tried to download using the Market App, it is force closing... *sigh* now i'm thinking of buying and HTC or Samsung android phone.

That's not the latest market your stuck with the old version. But if you take the vending.apk file out of this archive and put it in with the gapps.zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9741682&postcount=56
then you have the new market and this one also adapts the language of the market to the language of the phone. Just installed and tested it.
Good luck with it
I do have problem with market (FC) after restore from Titanium Backup. Download Gapps package and update from OR is the fast and easy way to recover market.
Is there a way to install just the market on an ASOP rom without installing all of gapps? I've tried pushing Vending.apk to system/app/ with 2 different Vending.apk files. One file I downloaded from another thread and another file I pulled from the Gapps.zip file. Both file when I open market it just flashes a white screen and closes, no error messages or FC's it just closes. I'm interested in just installing the Market so that I can only download the apps that I want. I run my phone with very little system apps.
Thanks in advance.
The gapps zip on the CM wiki doesn't install all of the gapps if you don't choose to install them. It installs the apps you choose.

Also, why is this in development and not questions?
Thank you for the suggestion.
Also if this thread is in the wrong place someone can delete or move.
Thx

You do? Talk is always one of the first things I uninstall, and the Market works fine for me. You maybe mean it has to be there the first time you use the market, or something?
Is it possible on a rooted dhd to backup the apk files you download from the Android market using root explorer As opposed to using titanium backup or the likes of?
Many thanks

Yes you can backup your apk files with Root Explorer, but it will not have your apk data [i.e. app data link to the Market] with the backup, but would with Titanium Backup.

Titanium Backup.

Sorry guys maybe I should of explained a bit more I'm looking to buy some apps up to now only used free 1s but with flash different roms sometimes you need to full wipe and don't quite no how that would work after buying an app then wiping my phone
I assume (and may be wrong) that when I download an app from the market it downloads the apk file what I would like to do is then use root explorer to move the apk files to M/S then back them up to pc for safe keeps or does it not work like that and I just sound like a tool lol
If it is possible then where are the downloaded apks?
I don't want to use titanium backup as some people report problems while using the ARHD performance patch plus was under the impression that backing up apps then sometimes they course problems when installing on different base ie 2.2 to 2.3(gb) which hopefully won't be.to long away
Many thanks again

1, I used titanium backup in both froyo and gingerbread and have no problem. And trust me, titanium backup is extremely useful when it comes to flashing a new ROM that requires full wipe.
2,FYI, your downloaded apps are stored in /data/apps , copy them with root explorer.

Paid apps can always be downloaded again free of charge from the market after a wipe if that's what you are worried about..

That would happen if someone using Titanium were to choose Backup all use apps + system data, then after installing a different ROM using Titanium to restore the apps + system data, which of course would be form the other ROM, which would:-
course problems when installing on different base ie 2.2 to 2.3(gb) which hopefully won't be.to long away

Which is a user fault accidentally trying restoring the wrong data.

if anyone here can help me to restore the user application market? I have uninstalled the market through a titanium backup because my apps continue to send error messages, then I installed vending.apk I find on this device after I search through the root explorer, but I can only go to my app, and my application can not access market as ussual
for their help and input I say thank you
I don't know if it will work but search for cyanogen gapps. You'll have to extract the vending. Apk yourself

I've done it, and finally I can get into the market.
But the look of the market such as the appearance of the os 2.2. and 2.3. and not like the appearance of honeycomb market, and no single aplication can i download.
Does anyone could give another idea?
Thank you

I have the same problem with the market and it I tried the nookdevs.com method but I get a market that keeps asking me to login and saying I'm already logged in with this account and now I'm trying to update but the update fails I think its because of the market
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english

Do not use such packages which allows free in app purchases.
First, uninstall that app.
I will give you the link to the play store apk. Try to install it.
Click here to download
If it doesn't work, try to flash gapps for gingerbread for our phone. Search on google or xda to get that gapps files link.
If that also doesn't work, flash stock rom again.
Simply Install Via System App Installer...

OP mentioned that he has installed a kernel. Is this possible without rooting ??
Does replacing without uninstalling cause the same issue ??

I checked the mediafire link that I have posted by myself.
Although, I am not sure what that error means, use a pc to download that file to prevent these kind of errors.
Extract the zip file, copy the apk to your sd card and install it.
Tell me if it doesn't work so that I will update the links.
Solved.. with lucky patcher after making it system application

Simple solution is Open Root Explorer. Go to /system/etc
Delete file named "hosts".
Restart and play store is working.
Don't use any apps which say free app

I agree. But after comleting that process, there's no need to uninstall Freedom. You can fix this issue and then use Freedom without problem. It worked for me at my 7inch Tab 2
