[Q] Games and App sd data - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Sony Xperia U and downloaded a couple of apps and games, but when I download the apk then copy the sd data into the appropriate directory (I only have an adsl connection), the game still asks to download the additional data. This even happens when I let the apk download and create the directory.
I manually flashed my Xperia to Android 2.3.7 but my phone is still unrooted.
Is there anything that I'm doing wrong or is there a problem with my software version?

Does the application (game in your case) even saves on your SD card after it says the download has completed?

[Solved] com.google.process.gapps error

if any have you experiencing
com.google.process.gapps force close error
i have found the way to resolve it
i have attached apps copy them to sdcard and to system/app folder using 644 permissions use root explorer (root required)
and reboot
market, sync, youtube, and many more problems are solved
I was having this issue.. but after a reflash from SEUS it was sorted..
your way sounds much easier.. I had to re-install all my apps again.. root the phone.. delete horrible SE apps etc etc.. took fricken hours! (just because that error seemed to be stopping Market working Grrrrrrrrr!!)
any idea what this gapps app is and what it does? I don't remember deleting it (I generally just get rid of games, user guides etc.. safe stuff, so I was really confused when the error suddenly started popping up)
Cheers for the file tho (I have a copy safely stashed away now for next time!)
the problem i have found is that deleting googleapp.apk and google settings provider. when you do this all other google related apk's malfunction that's where the error comes up

This method was difficult to me, because i did hard reset and i dont have any program(z4root and Astro) and i dont know how install from sd because my Market didnt work.
My one way was repair from Companion

The easiest way around this is (to install a file manager without market).. either use a laptop with BT or find a friend with a bluetooth capable phone and a file manager like astro, stick the file on the laptop/their phone and send it to your phone over BT, once its copied across go to the task bar and select the file and install it. couldn't be easier..
Google talk missing mate ..cud u link me to the apk or upload it?
Thanks
I recommend you not to touch any google.apk's, you can delete googlesearch.apk, enhancedgooglesearch.apk and search.apk, rest of .apk's that have google in its name leave it alone. Also, Setupwizard (or whatever its called (Setup wiz that starts when you first boot your phone or change sim card) is closely related to google.apks and market login, so i recommend you to leave it alone to.
When i deleted it, i was unable to log on my market (when i start marked i only get force close error and my market crashes and i was unable to login to my google acc to do the synh.
Thanks a lot, i wasn't able to copy them directly to the specified folder (i don't have root explorer), but copying the apk to SD and installing them from there seems to solve the error.

for setup wizard, I have deleted it and I can access market without problem.
but, I do sign in into market first before I delete it.
I copied the files to SD and then I installed every single one of them... It worked!
But only to remove the FC message... Still couldnt use Marked... So I reflashed it and recovered with Titanium... 15 mins and I was up n running again...
Thanks dude!!! After days of searching for a solution I downloaded and copied to system\app your pack and it worked.
Now I wonder why these android phones start doing funny things when you try to delete the Google stuff. Maybe that "don't be evil" policy is a thing of the past.
Hi , I downloaded the apps.rar to my phone but it can't extract or install..
it claims the file is empty , even though the filesize says 1,95 MB. Very strange..
I get the com.google.process.gapps error when opening Gmail app.
anyone?

YES! com.google.process.gapps SOLVED!
@ The Andropirate... You sir are my new hero for the day anyway! I rooted my phone and my buddies and had this horrid error and market freeze for a couple days now with all kinds of bogus advice on how to fix it.
This IS how to fix the problem!
One thing that was not clear to me was copying the files in root explorer which I did do but it didn't seem to make a difference so I installed the files through root explorer from the SD card and that worked. I then simply installed the files from my friends SD card on his phone without the copy process and that worked. I do not think there is a need to copy the files to system/app. Simply extract to SD and install from there through root explorer.
This fix worked on Alcatel PT-980a and a Motorola Citrus
Im a bit of a n00b and when i rooted my x10 mini i went crazy uninstalling everything. Big thanks! I just copied all the apps to my sd card and installed them using root explorer. All fine now after many panicky hours!
By the way.... if you dont have any apps you need and you have this problem, download them from 4shared.com (when searching type the app name all one word followed by .apk e.g. rootexplorer.apk) and transfer to sd card... easy!
Acer A1 running 2.1
I have an Acer S100 A1 running official Eclair 2.1
Made a factory reset thinking that it would solve this gapps problem...
But no, it still pops up each time after I reboot and market is not working...
No file manager comes with the phone...
I cannot find a way to install the google apps in the first post...
Anyone, please
Victor
Is there any possibility to install these apps via recovery? Via .zip or adb?

Market download error?

So I've been having some update and download errors and so I flashed wolfbreaks rom. There are still problems with downloading some games such as angry birds, cordy, and stupid zombies ...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
1. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications on your device and locate the Market in the list of installed applications. Tap on it, and clear both its data and cache from the resulting screen. If the Market won’t show all your installed apps under the Downloads section, this will likely fix that issue as well.
2. Make sure your phone recognizes your SD card. Try turning off your device, taking out the memory card and putting it back in. Then check with a file manager on your phone that the SD card in fact can be accessed properly.
It is still unsuccessful, but it is only apps like stupid zombies and angry birds that don't work
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
some people say that deleting folder adnroid_secure cures that problem, always make copy of ur files. (have u got any spare sdcard that u could try?) u can try formatting sdcard and than installing new rom.
I will try that now , and in my ROM thread I found a somewhat solution, which I will try also.
I fixed the error I used the method in Wolfbreak's FAQ Application not installed:
for those who have problem regarding 'application not installed' try this
use root explorer and delete the smdl2tmp1.asex
hope this helps

You can try reflashing the files in Recovery mode if you are rooted, which I presume.
You should flash the GApps from 2012 after November since it is ICS, wipe dalvik cache and factory reset. Make sure to have a backup of your apps if you don't want to lose them though.

where are apk files of apps installed via playstore stored

I have used share it to transfer files and apk from phone to laptop etc. I want to know where do apps installed via google playstore get stored. Meaning the apk file of the app installed , where can it be found.
I have many times seen the option of transferring apk from phone to laptop when I use share it
on the phone.
So my curiosity is where are these apk's downloaded when I have installed an app from playstore .
/data/user/...
APK: /data/app/
Data: /data/data/
