Apps store download location - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Where in the phone are the downloaded files from apps store? Is it possible to transfer .apk to another location (dropbox) and install on another "machine"?

The apk's are in "/data/app".
However they might have some additional data in other folders (e.g. Polaris Office).

You can also find some in /system/app. Cheers.

They're in the cache folder but once you reboot they are gone

Deleting system apps

Hi
I used Sgs tools to do a camera hack and now my camera is screwed always force closes...
I have my old cmeras apk but I can't install it wouldn't let me.
Do I have to uninstall the order camera so I can install this?
And how?

If you can mount your sd card to your computer, then go to /system/app these are your system file apps. You can manually put the .apk file in there, but then you have to use something like Androzip to actually install (just finding it in /system/app and clicking on it will install it, or use the default Files app.)
Duddeee! Thanks in did what you said but with root explorer and now everhthings fine. I thanks man!

Where to find apk packages for the standard ics and gingerbread app?

I have recently changed my rom over to Cynogen mod tablet/hybrid and dislike most of the apps that replace the standard "messenger" "contacts" They are using google contacts and i tried a few different messenger apps like go sms ect but hate them equally. I have tried to backup and restore them with rom toolbox pro but cant seem to get them working. I was trying to find the apk files for them on source forge and any thread off xda but am unable to track them down. Does anyone know where to find them? Or is it possible to pull the files from a directory located on the phone?

You can download any rom you like and unzip or un-tar (use 7zip on your pc). Then go to the /system/app folder and see all the apk's there.
Stock contacts won't work on CM9 as the stock apps use the touchwiz framework.

Can I delete google now on MIUI?

I am running MIUI on CDMA and I do not like Google search w. Google now. I used root unisntaller to delete the app off the ROM and installed an .apk I had saved. The problem is when I reboot my phone the original app restores is there a way to permanently keep it the way I want it?

Try this. Go into system/ app folder click on the apk's properties and uncheck all the permissions then delete apk and reboot. Let me know if that helps.

Is it because your trying to download an app off play which you already have had before?
If it is you need to delete the odex file. /data/app/

[Q] Problem with google play

Hello!
I have a problem with google play. When I download an app, it creates a file called downloadfile.apk inside the cache folder in the internal memory, but I do not understand why after you install the program this file is not automatically deleted.
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Well that's weird
Download any cache cleaner app and delete it
