I have a few apps that I used market unlocker to acquire on my Atrix (notably nba game time). Despite using market unlocker on the Prime I am not able to find these apps in market... is there any way to move the installed apps from my Atrix to my Prime?
You could try to copy the apk from you Atrix to the Prime (you need an file manager for this). It should be located in /data/app/ folder. You might need root for that. I never tried without so I can't say if you can copy without root access.
If you send the apk via bluetooth rename the apk to zip otherwise the Prime won't accept the file. On the prime rename back to apk and click on it to install.
Hope that helps.
thanks but not locating the file (and yes i'm rooted and i'm using Astro file manager)
Have you tried backing it up with Titanium Backup, then transferring the backup files to the new device?

I'm requesting the silk browser APK file from the kindle fire.
To get the apk file use root explorer. (note: needs root)
Go to system, then apps, then copy the app named browser.
Then upload it here or something like dropbox and post the link here.
Thanks!

I'm not running the stock kindle android anymore, so I can't get it.
I believe you can extract the apk if you get the system.img of the kindle OS, then look in /system/app/.
I saw a system.img for the kindle fire 2 in Hashcode's CM10.1 ROM thread, have a look there?

I have rooted my android phone (an MTK6577 with Android 4.1.1)
I downloaded ES File Explorer and in the settings turned on rot explorer.
I have a file on the SD card which I need to copy to the 'system/etc' directory - BUT - when I try to 'paste' it I get the error 'Permission denied'.
What else do I need to do that I am missing to allow the paste operation.
Any advice/comments appreciated.
Thanks
Change to read/write from read only
Also, I highly recommend root explorer found on Google play, by far the best root file explorer for android (having tried many)

Used Root Explorer (which I also found better) and all is sorted.
Hi every one.
I am new here. So I'm writing with all the details I can think of.
I'm using HTC desire x jelly bean in India. I've temp rooted the device. Now I run with a twrp touch screen edition revovery. I run the stock version (with odex) Rom. The only changes I made is removal of some bloatware.
The main reason I've rooted my device is to save space by pushing non movable and frequently used apps to system/app .
Since I only have temp root, The way I'm making user apps as system app is as follows
1. creating a backup Apk file either by manually copying from data/app or by clean master.
2 uninstall the app.
3 after entering the twrp recovery, I move the Apk files to system/app ( I don't create any odex files for the moved app)
4 reboot after wiping dalvik & cache.
Its a working method. But my problem is that several apps both that I frequently uses and high size are cannot converted into system apps. After making such apps as system apps, when I try to open them it force closes, crashes, or misbehaving (eg. Shows No internet connectivity even if I'm connected to web). I tried odexing the user Apk. But it not seems to be the problem. I like to know
1 why is this happening.
2 can I identify such apps before moving it to the /system/app
3 how/can I solve this isue ( I don't own a pc).
4 I am writing a list of apps that I've already tried and failed to convert as system apps. If there is no general methods can you suggest methods for the following apps
Quick pick
Mx player
BS player
Chrome
Adobe reader
Google plus
Opera mini
Opera
Google Maps
RAR
Mozilla Firefox
Freecharge
Advance download manager
Google search
Dolphin browser Jetpack
Chess free
Thanks in advance.

Probably those apps have and lib files
e.x
1.With root explorer hit a app and open it in view mode
2.Navigate to lib/armeabi..xxx
3.You will find lib(xxx.so) files
4.Extract them
5.Move those files to system/lib/and set them with rw-r--r-- permissions
6.Move and the app to system app with same permissions
7.Reboot
Sorry for my English..

Thank you very much for your answer. I was searching it for a very long time. It worked like a magic with my Google play services. Before moving the lib files apps like gmail, inbox by gmail, hangouts were showing "unknown problem with Google play". I couldn't afford the space for an non movable app with about 27 mb staying in my app storage.
I was really having a trouble for the same question in following thread.

Let's make a lesson...
I don't know with witch method has du move apps in system before and first you must check in system/app folder if have you double apps.
ex.
when you move an update of YouTube.apk, the name of updated app must have exactly the same name of default system app to overwrite it.
check and delete the oldest apks.
when you install a app from play store, that app creates a data folder,a dalvik cache file and perhaps a sdcard folder or a sdcard/android/data/xxx.xxx folder
when you uninstall a app from play store,the app has a script where automatically delete any created file.
when you delete a system app do must manually delete those files.Those files are in:
/data/data /the app data folder
and
/data/cache/dalvik cache or /data/dalvik cache
You can do all this only with root explorer or with one root file manager
the installed apps from play store you can find them in:
/data/app
You can see witch apps are in internal memory installed and you can copy from there...
always check first if the app works without lib files and if not,then move and those libs files
edit:
The play store and Google services apks are updated automatically without your permission and you can see that only in installed apps
All these sounds tricky but with a little practice you will become expert
@Superuser_
When new updates releases should I delete the lib files I just copied along with the app and replace it with the new updated apk's lib file.
Or the lib files I copied for older version works for new versions too?

The old copied lib files wil not work in a new version
you must again copy those files and when you paste them will automatically overwrite the old ones
don't forget each time to change the permissions
The thing is I'm temp rooted. (htc desire x). And I use touch version of twrp recovery for jelly bean. I do all the things we were discussing with my recovery. And I assume chmod_66 or something like that is the command to set the read write permission. But I think whenever I copy apps or lib files to system using my recovery it's permission is read write by default. I assume this because I never faced a single problem for not setting any permission. I am not sure about it though. And will you please tell me what is the fix permission option under advanced menu in twrp recovery is used for?

I don't have HTC DX..but a LG p700
Just visited the thread because I was looking if 4.4.4 came out for my girlfriend desire
The only thing I know is, when you are root you are root
Temporary root,I haven't heard before
The permissions can be changed with root explorer app.long press on a apk/permissions
Google it the:
how i can change permissions with root explorer app
@Superuser_
I was testing this method with Google maps. I found more than one subfolders in lib folder. My processor is arm v7. Is it what the armeabi-v7a stands for ?. Should I move all the .so files in lib folder or should I only move the armeabi_v7a subfolder .so files ?
I also attached a screenshot for convenience

I think Google maps working in system without libs or not?
The other folders is for different processors
You must copy only the v7 files
@Superuser_
If I delete the libraries from the Apk using an explorer the size of Apk will get reduced. My doubt is , since we are copying the lib files needed , to the system/lib , if I delete the Lib Files from Apk and move it to system/app would there be any problem?
I mean
1. Will the app work properly ?
2. Will there be any difficulty for updating such modified apps through Google play
Sorry for the constant questions. And thanks for helping
