For example, I want to extract, say, movie studio and convert it to an apk that I can use in another rom. Does ne1 know how to do this?

if you want to extract the apk file from your tab, then you need to be rooted. if so then you can copy files from /system/app/ folder to sd card using File Manager HD or any other file manager which has root access.

^ This. If the apk is dependent on a framework, be sure to include it in a ROM that has the framework it needs.

Hello to all...!!!
Today I flashed my first custom ROM (void) on my LG P500 and as a noob I have some questions...
1) Where can I find some LG programms (memo and calendar) and the other LG widgets? I mostly interested in widgets "Weather","Calendar","Analog Clock" and "News and weather"
2) Is it possible to have the LG Keyboard on SMS app on this custom ROM which has only the Gingerbread keyboard?
3) When I had the stock ROM I had made a backup with "Titanium Backup" all my apps and I have it saved in my PC.Can restore in custom ROM only the apps which I want?
Thanks in advance....
For 1 and 2 download this: http://sinap.se/oo/void-sapps.zip and apply in recovery.
For 3 the answer is yes, you can restore which app you want.
Thanks you...!
One more question,I don't want to flash back every deleted system app but some of them.How can I do this?
Of course I don't want appadvisor,Car Home and some other crupps...
extract just the app that you want an put the in them data/app folder you need root file manager or from adb
ΟΚ,I'll try it and I will be back....
Thank you!
With the "File Manager" of void ROM,I can't copy-paste the apps into system/app .
What can I do for this?

Yes, you can.
Anyway, if you extract the files from void-sapps.zip you will see 2 folders. One of the is "system", inside of it, another called "app" there are the ".apk's" that you need corresponding to widgets and programs.
The "News and weather" widget is called "GenieWidget".
You can extract the ones you like to the root of your SD and then, from the File Manager in the phone, install them one by one.
before i've said that you had to have root file manager to copy and paste in system/app
or as Noejn says : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887281
No, you have to re-sign it. Use a program like this one.
Tutorial: How to flash only some sapps
1. Grab the sapps/gapps package
2. Extract it
3. Go to the extracted folder "/system/app/" and delete the applications you don't want to flash
4. Use the above program (zipsigner) to create a CROM.zip, put the extracted files there so you have 2 folders on the root of the zip: META-INF and SYSTEM. Then sign it and it should create a CROM-s.zip.
5. Rename the CROM-s.zip to MySapps.zip, put it in sdcard and flash.

Right, that make sense (to me) if I want to install most of them and leave out just one or two. What about if I only want just -one- widget from the void-sapps.zip?
Isn't better to uncompress void-sapps.zip and take that one out and put it on the SD card, then install it from there?
yes is right what you say but sometimes (for some lg's app) this method don't work

(second part of Noejn questons/answer)
Also is not possible to install directly the Browser and Calendar.
I almost have found what I wanted from sapps zip,but I search for the stock internet browser.Which one of these is that?
I appreciate a lot your help!
When I try to flash the stockclock.zip file using the new CWM it says that Amend scripting is no longer supported. Does anybody know how I would could get this installed?
Open the zip file usin astro file manager. Copy the clock.apk (might be named deskclock.apk) then place it in your sdcard where you know Where its located. Use root explorer to copy it to the system/app directory. Rename your old clock.apk to something like clock.bak in case you ever need to go back to it.

Simply goto sdcard/android/then you should see folder named data.
Also there should be a folder called obb.
If you dont see that folder then just create one and you place the .obb file in that folder

i have the same problem.. so this occurs in version 4.2.1? My galaxy s4 gives me error also transfer files from pc to /sd/android/obb. The only way for you to by modify the permission of this file is to root the phone and use AntTek explorer.
Actually, in 4.2 JB, the multiuser directory structures make it different.
The obb info now has a folder outside of the /storage/emulated/sdcard0/0/Android/obb folder.
using a root enabled explorer, navigate to /data/media/obb , and paste the contents there.

I am running supernexus rom 4.2.2.....went to /sdcard/android....made a folder named obb and pasted my obb file.
Used root explorer as my file browser app. Worked in first go for me. Try and let me know your response.
I Got a Problem here, Where I Tried The Method using the File Explorer to move the files, It Works But The Game Isn't Running.. It fade out instead of running the game.. I'm using Galaxy SIII 4.2.2 Leak..
I did all the steps on my htc one android 4.3 ( unrooted device) when i run the game it asks to download the file. does anyone know why its not working on my phone? do i need to root
It must go on internal sdcard. For example, for Layton Brothers Mystery Room it goes like that:
Code:
/storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/com.Level_5.MysteryRoomENG/main.6.com.Level_5.MysteryRoomENG.obb

Hi there,i'm new with android stuff and i need someone who can explain me how can i put .obb files in DEVICE MEMORY.
Some of the games for example have that extension .obb,i understand that needs to be placed in internal memory \Android\Data\Obb and then install that .apk file.
My problem?! i cant acces DEVICE MEMORY(2Gb) , i only can on INTERNAL MEMORY(16Gb).
Sony xperia P (LT22i)
Build number 6.2.A.1.100
I have rooted my phone and updated to 4.1.2
I use AP file Manager Pro.
If someone can explain me step by step i will be much grateful.

But you answered your question yourself, you need to put the .OBB file in android\data\obb folder of your phone memory, and best use a computer to do this, or ES files explorer

ASEC containers are partition images anyway, if you have the actual app already installed move it back to /data using Link2SD then it will have files in the standard locations (/data/app, /data/data, /sdcard/Android)... but then OBB always goes to media partition IIRC

I haven't tried asphalt, but if the app was dl'd through play store, shouldn't the obb file be already in the correct location? (sdcard/Android/(file folder)/.obb file)? Now I understand op is trying to move files from PC to phone. Even if he moved the apk to /data/app or install it the location of the .obb file will not change. Regardless of the apk being installed or not, unless he downloads it through the app, which is not the case. He needs to copy it in the correct location.

Lol. I apologize. I must have misunderstood your post.
I want to extract the files from the APK to get the app installed,
the problem is that the system does not recognize the apk files anymore.

if you want to just extract apk then it can be done by winrar but if you want to make it installable in your device then decompile it using apk tool

I think you are trying to actually extract it on the device and not your computer. This is possible with easily with an app called RAR For Android available in the Playstore. It's a free download.
If you mean extracting .apk files from your phone to get elsewhere you can use an app called "ApkExtractor" available in Play store for free of charge.
It's an android device (4.2.2) and it doesn't recognize APK files
So I need to extract the APK files from my computer to my device so the app will be installed.
