If you mean .gpk, NO
If you want to install .apk then YES.
How?
1. Copy the apk files you want to install to your phone
2. On your phone, Goto Settings - Security - Enable unknown sources (under Device Administration)
3. open "My files" or any other file explorer you have previously installed. My files is pre-installed on your phone.
- browse to the folder where you copied those apk files to (in step 1.)
- open each apk file, one after the other to install.
Done

Gpk files is something concered with audio files or something and has nothing to do with android http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/gpk
To install apk files u should check unkown sources in settings >> security ( ICS )
Or settings >> location and Security (GB)
actually there is some games that is formated to gpk the only diffrence is it has an installer that automatically put all the file in its destination like the sd files or data. thou you can you winzip or rar to extract it if you dont want to use the installer called 'thumb play installer'

I have a rooted X10 mini pro. I just got a net connection on my mini pro and downloaded apps from Market.
Can anyone please tell me where the applications downloaded from market are stored ? ie- location of the .apk files.
I dont want to back up applications. I just want the base .apk file.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Market installs the apps in /data/app and after installation it removes the temp installation files..
So is there no way to copy those .apk files before they are deleted ????
The apk is in /data/app just backup that one if you have to. The apk in that directory can be used over and over again to install on any phone you want.
I searched through astro but nothing is there in that directory ??????????????
The folder needs to be accessed with root permissions.
Via ADB shell or i believe there is an application called root explorer which does it with UI.
Astro, tools, backup - works for me
Thanks very much.....
One problem with this is, you only get common file names like
downloadfile-1.apk and so on. you wont get the app name on the file name. so everytime you copy it you have to run it and see what app that is.
That is one down matter. other than that its ok!
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.
I've installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4 ROM
but I'm unable to install any additional system apps (e.g. sms/mms, camera).
The thread says, I have to use CWM. But when using the CWM App to install any APK, after confirming, I only get, that the APK wasn't installed.
I also used a few apk installers and tried to install with a root filebrowser. Doesn't work either.
The allowing-non-market-apps option is enabled.
What do I have to do? Clearing any caches with CWM?
Found it!
TUTORIAL 5: Recover System Apps than have been removed from V3
-- Place your desired app or apps on your sd-card
-- Use Root Explorer and copy them
-- Go to system\app and press the Mount R/W button on right top
-- Paste the app or apps you have selected
-- Long press what have you just pasted and set permissions to rw-r--r-- for each app
-- Reboot phone

I would make it simple for u..
1) Simply flash the ROM as said in the thread from where u downloaded
2) Download those additional zip files he attached (system apps) at the bottom of his post
3) Download & install ES file explorer on ur phone (in its settings customize it to allow it to make changes to root directory and enable up-to-root directory etc. and grant it superuser access when it asks)
4) Now extract whatever system app u require from that zip file (say mms.apk) on ur SD card
5) Now go to /system/app and paste this file over there
I recommended u for ES file explorer so that u wont have to change any permission at all..just copy & paste
NOTE: First move the original file u will be replacing in /system/app to some other place to avoid any future problem

Hit THANKS if i helped

Any .apk will do? .apk is just the extension that apps are in, essentially your asking how to install an app to your android phone.
Just open the play store and download is the most common way, you can side load with adb, if you have an app on SD you can use a file explorer to open it then choose install (must have unknown sources checked)
I guess you may want to be a bit more specific for further help

You're taking it a bit far with adb there don't u think?
It's too much for his brain to process, slowly ease into it.

simply saying it is an extension like .exe on windows programmes or .jar on java apps just like that android apps have .apk

Thanks for your time.
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.
