Hey all, I borked my contacts app while deleting things with Root Explorer
Therefore I am hoping some kind soul will point me in the direction of where I can download these two files.
blur_yahoo.apk and blur_yahoo.odex
(p.s. I am running Sun-198_6)
Thanks!
Hi, here what you need:
View attachment blur_yahoo.tar
Lovely - I will now try to install them.
Thanks!
directions
Just in case anyone else needs install instructions:
(written by someone other than me)
Worked like a charm!
Use Root Explorer to copy the blur_yahoo.apk and blur_yahoo.odex files from your SD card's backup of the System/App folder that you just created, then paste those two files into the phone's root System/App folder. (You will need to click "mount r/w" to mount the folder as read/write before you can paste the app there...) Then, you will need to long-press the blur_yahoo.apk and blur_yahoo.odex (one at a time) and select "Permissions", then change the permissions for each file so that the only (four) blocks checked are Owner: Read & Write, Group: Read, and Others: Read. Remove checks from any of the other blocks. (Basically, you are setting the permissions to match all of the other apps in the System/App folder...) Select "Ok" and then reboot your phone; the Yahoo Email Authenticator 2.3.4 app should be reinstalled successfully and your Contacts app will function well once again!
Help with directions
Can someone give me help with these directions? Ok I've already downloaded the file above to my laptop. Now I am guessing I have to move it to my phone. I read where I have to move it to "System/App folder". I've looked in my SD card and the internal storage of my phone... I don't see a System App folder. I have also read that I have to create one?? Create one on my SD card? Thx in advance....

The /system/app is found on your internal memory not your actual SD cad. And you have to use root explorer(or another similar app) that allows you to access root folders to copy and paste the files into the folder then fix your permissions and reboot. Stupid question, but you DID unzip the file to end up with .apk files right..?

Hi,
I downloaded the free application "Jupiler Pro League" by market (football app),
I would like to save the .apk (as I do for all my applications) with MyPhoneExplorer
but it is protected by copyright, is there a trick? it's a free application
so really I don't understand why I cannot save it for a system recovery in future ...
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Can you not pull the .apk using adb?
how to do that please? thanks
Need Root,
you can do it with appMonster Pro
Root ok, I work with CM7v16, I try app monster pro, thanks
Ok, it say "protected", now what can I do? I try "backup"
but the .apk is not saved, (the rest of apps are saved on sd)
If you want the app+data then use Titanium Backup. If you just want the apk I'll post it here for you

Yes, just the apk it's perfect! thanks very much for this! but I would like
do it my self can U tell me how do please? thanks again
edit: your apk it's jupiler league, it's not the same that jupiler PRO league
oops sorry, I didn't see the pro league. Anyway, if you have adb set up already just go to command prompt and type adb pull /data/app/jupiler.apk. If you do not have adb set up then we can get that set up for you.
Another way (which may be easier) is to download File Expert and on the top there will be four tabs. The far right one will be "Apps". Go to that tab, find Jupiler Pro, and back it up. Now, you'll have the .apk on your sdcard in a folder labeled backuped apps (or something like that).
No problem so, file expert work perfectly with a "normal" appli but not with
an appli protected, the folder is empty... I'm really sorry...
Have you downloaded AndroidSDK so that you can pull it off your phone using adb?
EDIT: I have other methods and apps you can try but it's all on my phone and I don't have my phone with me right now. When I get home I'll take a look for you.

Open terminal and try this:
1.Enter su to be superuser (root).
2.Enter cd /data/app-private/ to enter the protected application directory.
3.Use ls to view the apps in the directory.
4.Enter cp filename.apk /sdcard to copy a single app to your SD card.
(Or to backup all the protected apps: cp * /sdcard)
5.If you want to backup all your apps, they can be found in /data/app/
Hi, too noob for this, I don't understand AndroidSDK
no problem, thanks for all

Hi all, I just rooted my nook tablet and I have the marketplace installed. Now, I want to access all my 11 extra gigs of fun. But file expert won't mount anything r/w...which makes me think WTF... by the way I'm a noob and need to be treated like one
Here's what I've done
Rooted the nook...choose the honeycomb option
then I downloaded the file expert app
Then i went into the app's settings and enabled root explorer
Then I navigate to the Phone Internal Storage and try to mount things or copy and paste things and I get pwned...
Why is this not working, what did I do incorrectly?
File expert? use root explorer (paid) or super manager. Some say es file manager, but I can't get past sdcard folder.
are you trying to get the rest to show up on your pc when you connect it with usb? if so, this wont happen. if you just want to browse it and copy or paste stuff, use es explorer.

remove sd card and es explorer will show you your tablet. if this works, then the problem is you are just not browsing correctly in es explorer. at the top there is an option that lets you chose phone or sd card. Default is sd card, you have to switch to phone... (tablet)
With ES, I'm getting a similar problem. Maybe I'm navigating to the wrong place, but I navigated to the place where the welcome video is..then I just tried to create a new file and it tells me "Sorry, Operation Failed" What can I possibly be doing wrong?
IT does let me read and play the welcome video file, but it won't let me access files... Is there a setting that could be fing me in my anus? Thanks for the help guys.. (no, I'm not trying to access it via my computer)

In es file manager settings, enable root explorer and mount /system as writeable. Change home directory to /. You should then be able to see all folders.

No need to remove sd card. Just change home directory in es file manager settings to /. You will then see all folders. Enable root explorer and set /system as writeable also in root settings.

thanks for this tip. will need to try this one.
Whenever I download a file from the stock browser and install it, how to i delete the downloaded files? I went to my downloads app and that only clears the download history.
Go into the "My Files" app then the file should be in the downloads directory.
exit: Oops I just noticed I am in general Android Q&A and that app is probably not on your phone so use any file manager and go to /sdcard/downloads
No i dont mean to uninstall the app. I want to delete the download files. I want to delete the apk files.
Using any file manager, navigate to /sdcard/Downloads and you should find it there

If you want to delete the file you downloaded but not uninstall the app do what I said.
It downloads to that directory then when you install it, it is copied to /data/app
you can find the download files at /sdcard/downloads or some where at /sdcard/

go to this thread, you will find the answer in darknightmare's post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702394
my advise, download the zip file. open the zip file and in system folder you will find htc camera.apk rename it as nightmare said and save.
in your phone using estrong xplorer (enable root access) go to system folder>app find out camera apk and delete it.
copy the zip file to sd card
reboot the phone in recovery and flash the zip file.
hope it will help you.

Don't forget to copy the xml file from the etc folder and copy it to your system/etc folder as well. It adds a few tweaks as well.
I just installed an app "WIFI key recovery" from the play store.
I have an old backup from my stored connections and now I want to put that file back in the application folder.
But where is it?
That app doesn't seem to use standard folders. I tried to search with the ES file explorer but no result.
My folder /data/ is totally empty.
In /system/app/ I also can't find that app.
Are there any other places I can try to look for it?
Check for Android/data or Android/obb in sdcard.
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------
Or, if you have root, try /data/data in phone mem.
Checked!
Nothing found.
I have root but as I said that folder is empty. No subfolder and no files in there. I also checked all folders if there were hidden files.
Is there an app that can find out on which path apps are installed?
When create a link to the home screen there must be a reference to that app anywhere.
All apps are installed in /data/app or
Where those apps then put their data can either be /data/data or /sdcard/Android/data or /sdcard/data or any other folder on /sdcard
But all apks are /data/app
If /data is blank, maybe you're looking at the wrong /data folder (should be one at root not on sdcard) or using a file manager that isn't very good of hasn't got root access because /data being empty is impossible. Literally impossible
