Ok first off I am rooted and using root explorer (don't really post but read so much and love the work everyone puts into getting these devices fully operational). What I am trying to do is get the .apk for slingplayer that I purchased so I can get it into the multi window with some of the tools posted in this forum if it is even doable. The problem I am running into is that when I go into root explorer, I click on data and then if I click on app I do not see slingplayer. However if once I am in data I have a file that says app-asec and click on that I see a file with com.slingmedia.slingplayer-1.asec. So does any one know how to get the actual .apk for slingplayer? I cannot find it any where. Or if any one can put SlingPlayer in a signed .apk that allows it to be added to multiview that would be great? Also has any one been able to get Dolphin web browser as a signed .apk for multi window by any chance?
Thanks for all the help.
+2, me and my buddy. Thanks!
I bought it too and whenever I need to install it I go to the google store and download it again. It always says "purchased" and lets me download again. Have you lost link to the store. I can also go on pc browser and on the google store find all apps I have ever downloaded,
I used ultimate backup and it rips the apks to the memory card. Then edited as needed and un installed on phone then reinstalled new apk from card. That's the way I got all my apks.
Apk name: com.slingmedia.slingplayer.apk

Ok I will try that app out. I know where to find the app that I purchased in the play store. That is not what I asked. What I wanted to do is find what file in root explorer it was in. But I will try the app that rips them. Thanks for the response.
Edit:
Ok so I download the free version of ultimate backup and tried to back up Sling Player. It runs and says complete but when I look at the task bar it says 0 apps backup to SD card. I tried this with Dolphin Browser app and that backup just fine. So I do not know why I can't back up Sling Player to get the apk for editing. Does any one else know where to find the apk on the phone?

Also in the backup app. Hit menu then choose batch mode. And do a batch backup that will do all the apks. Maybe that will help

Okay so I followed what you said to uninstalled and reinstalled and tried just backing that app up and it didn't work so did the same thing but did the batch backup of user apps and that worked like a charm. Now I can just backup the slingbox app.
Thanks for all your help now just got to figure out how to modify the app to get it into the multi window.

PSX was first to go (most likely due to the Xperia Play), then all of yongzh's emulators were removed. Luckily they were uploaded to SlideMe for free for a while, so go grab them there. Here's the link to all of yongzh's emulators.

Ibhocky19 i restored my apps from my titanium back up file using astro file manager by looking throw the back up for the apps that you want.they will state that they are zip files.just tap on the zip file and extract to the directory, once it is extracted you can then install it.

Oke i know that the origenel Facebook from the market doesen't work that well on the Tab.
So i have tryed to install an old version of Facebook, wiche i have also on my SGSII, This version is the only one for me that gets all the newsfeed etc!
So i dowload the Facebook.apk (1.5.4) Then i used root explorer to move the apk.file to system/apps, then i clicked on the file and choose install!
It works great on my tab 10.1 (GT-7510) its works smooth and fast!

EDIT 2: Yep it was, I fixed it.
Looks like its working great, thanks for the download.

I find it easier to just adb install it since my GT is already connected to the computer and I'm on the computer. No need to take all the extra time to move to SD card, open an app, move the file to system, then install it.
For those of you who don't know how to do this:
1. Connect the device to your computer with USB Debugging enabled
2. Open command prompt and type "cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools" (or wherever your Android SDK adb files are)
3. Type "adb devices" and make sure it's reading your device
4. Put the .apk into the root of your C: drive if you haven't already. (of course you don't HAVE to if you know what you're doing and are comfortable doing it)
5. Type in command prompt "adb install c:\Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk"
6. Wait for it to install successfully, unplug your device, and you should have the App in your App Drawer.
Note1: If you already have a facebook app installed, you might have to uninstall before doing this.
Note2: Don't add the quotes when typing in Command Prompt, just type what's inside the quotes.

I havent had that issue. Being rooted shouldnt change anything because it doesnt need superuser permissions.
Well first i instald it like the normal way, it worked... Except the notifications, when i looked furthure i saw that the apk file did't show up in system/apps.
Show the instalation worked but diden't push the file tru!
So then i removed the app, and thoke the apk file and copy it to system/apps by using root explorer. Then i clicked the apk file in system/apps and select instal, basecly its same instalation but now youre sure the file is pushed where it shoud be right?

Correct. Does it work fine after doing that?
Why would it matter at all if you install this normally or push into system/app? I don't think with an app like FB that it matters...installing the apk normally seems to be the same as getting it from the Market..
best FB app is the browser. no need for an extra app to access FB, IMO.

I just flashed in CM7 rom to my SGS2. So I don't have the apps which were installed previously in the stock OS. I remembered that Quickoffice was there but I never opened it to see if it is freely installed for us or it is a trial version. I realized it is a paid app only when I searched for it in app market to install in my CM7! Can you guys please confirm whether the Quickoffice which came with stock OS was free or paid? Thanks in advance!
i didnt open quickoffice either but if I'm not mistaken, i believe the basic version was included for free but you cannot edit documents on it unless you paid for it. I'll let someone else confirm that, though.
good news/bad news
it appears to be the full version. just edited and saved a spreadsheet.
it's installed as a system app
i don't know if you can just go into system/app on your old rom (you did do a nandroid back up right?) and pull the apk and use that to install on the CM rom.
I did the same however the update that it says it has cost money.

Don't apply the update from market. It will make your free version into trial version. The included QuickOffic is full version already.
I had made a backup while on stock rom with titanium backup. I am on CM7 and used titanium backup to restore the app. I opened it and it asked if I wanted to update and I said no. I then went in and was able to create and save a word document. Then I went back in a was able to edit it.

can the same be done for allshare app when running CM7? my guess is it wont run on CM7? Does the HDMI out work after running CM7? If not, will it ever work?
I didn't make a backup of the app, can anyone post it up somewhere?

Titanium Pro version has a NANDROID restore APK (app+data) option. Just pull the app from the backup (com.qo.android.samsung) you should have made before flashing.
or
download "AppExtractor" from the market to restore from NANDROID also.
I tried to backup Allshare with Titanium and then restore onto GalnetMIUI 1.11.9. It would not restore, just says restoring app forever, never finishes.
I ended up downloading Skifta, I like it and works just as good as AllShare.
FYI: quickoffice pro is free on amazon today.

Noticed this, but does anyone know if Amazon version is newer or not? According to version number on Amazon it's an older version; or at least on my SG2 my version reads 4.1.20110711.67. Amazon reads 4.1.156. I bought it anyway, for free of course, but haven't installed it. Don't want to override the installed version if older.
^^ you can update it...
Can't seem to uninstall the included version. When I install the Pro version I got from Amazon there are now 2 icons. I cannot uninstall the included version.
are you rooted? You can't uninstall apps that come with the phone unless you have root access.

Anyone else seen this? I am rooted and rum Unnamed.
I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.
Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.
