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!

[HOW TO] INstall DioDict COllins Bundled Dictionary From Stock(INDIA)

Well theres a apk in /system/app/DioDict_for_Android_LG_Swift_India.apk
permissions 0644(rw,r,r)
and theres a static library /system/lib/libDioDictEngineNative.so
and i think there was a dictionary database in the bundled mmc (a foolder called edictionary) /sdcard/
COpy these files to the directories listed above and voila! your dictionary is back
ROOT UR PHONE ,INstall ROOT explorer ,copy files, set permissions and it worked on my megatron ROM... thought might as well share it...
NOTE: If u took the NANDroid backup of your phone before installing customised ROM ...u can always extract the files mentioned above by using unyaffs.exe http://www.filecrop.com/search.php?w=unyaffs&size_i=0&size_f=100000000&engine_r=1&engine_m=1&engine_h=1
and use the system.img in your nandroid backup folder
didnt make nandroid before flashing ....
Well then look for it on filecrop.com
Can you attach the .so file here?
im willing to give my ozone wifi pass 1 gb /2 month / 2mbps to who uploads the edictionary database :|
the DIoDict Library
the library is included..i cud have uploaded that edictionary folder too..But i m on sodding 2.5g network(Its INdia) and can't even upload that..
bro i need tht edictionary :|
i formated my mmc card and lost the edictionary folder and the contents . can any one post it here if the have it ?
Is THIS the database?? Its what i could find on my card's edictionary.
But since i've installed a different ROM now, I too need the .apk for the dictionary if anyone can share...

Hello everyone!
Here is a zip that contains all the files needed to make Diodict Dictionary work on custom roms (or any rooted phone):
mediafire[.com]/?umr5xvhze4wa5rc (remove "[" and "]" from the link. I am not allowed to post links yet.)
1. It contains the DioDict apk file which is in the "TitaniumBackup" folder. You can also use TitaniumBackup to restore it by placing the folder at the root of your sdcard.
2. It contains "libDioDictEngineNative.so" which you must place in system/lib folder. You will need 'root' and 'write to system folder' permissions for this. Not a big deal if you're on a custom rom.
3. It contains the databases for "Collins Cobuild Advanced", "Oxford Advanced Learners" and "StarPublications ENG-HIN" in the "edictionary" folder. You must place this folder at the root of your sdcard. The first two "Collins Cobuild Advanced" & "Oxford Advanced Learners" are awesome english dictionaries which will work offline. I don't know what the third one ("StarPublications ENG-HIN") is.
Let me know if any issues. Click thanks if I helped.
And @ccreadcc: Where is my ozone wifi pass? kidding....
Everything worked except that i was not able to paste the file.I am on CM7.
I use root explorer:
"you cannot paste here the file system is read-only"
I tried to edit the permission but say"some file do not allow permission changes"
Please Help
solution
Mount /system as writable
I don't know about Root explorer. I use ES File Explorer. In ES Explorer under Settings> Root Settings> Check both the options and you'll be able to paste the file there.
i had 2 wifi passes unused.. wonder where i put it xD
i just did !
i got success to install this on official 2.3 rom
just copy "libDioDictEngineNative.so" to system/lib folder
after that install com.diotek.diodict2.swift_india-a1c589b5691365fa3b910b4435b6d4ec.apk as u install other software .
it works for me !
thanks !!

Do you still have your titanium folder? Copy the folder to your Pc, then search inside the titanium folder, for the game files. The apk of the game will have .apk.gz extension. Extract the archive, copy the apk to your phone and install like normal app.
Use key words like "3d" , "space" etc when searching

problems after Pushing user apps into system apps

Hi every one.
I am new here. So I'm writing with all the details I can think of.
I'm using HTC desire x jelly bean in India. I've temp rooted the device. Now I run with a twrp touch screen edition revovery. I run the stock version (with odex) Rom. The only changes I made is removal of some bloatware.
The main reason I've rooted my device is to save space by pushing non movable and frequently used apps to system/app .
Since I only have temp root, The way I'm making user apps as system app is as follows
1. creating a backup Apk file either by manually copying from data/app or by clean master.
2 uninstall the app.
3 after entering the twrp recovery, I move the Apk files to system/app ( I don't create any odex files for the moved app)
4 reboot after wiping dalvik & cache.
Its a working method. But my problem is that several apps both that I frequently uses and high size are cannot converted into system apps. After making such apps as system apps, when I try to open them it force closes, crashes, or misbehaving (eg. Shows No internet connectivity even if I'm connected to web). I tried odexing the user Apk. But it not seems to be the problem. I like to know
1 why is this happening.
2 can I identify such apps before moving it to the /system/app
3 how/can I solve this isue ( I don't own a pc).
4 I am writing a list of apps that I've already tried and failed to convert as system apps. If there is no general methods can you suggest methods for the following apps
Quick pick
Mx player
BS player
Chrome
Adobe reader
Google plus
Opera mini
Opera
Google Maps
RAR
Mozilla Firefox
Freecharge
Advance download manager
Google search
Dolphin browser Jetpack
Chess free
Thanks in advance.

Probably those apps have and lib files
e.x
1.With root explorer hit a app and open it in view mode
2.Navigate to lib/armeabi..xxx
3.You will find lib(xxx.so) files
4.Extract them
5.Move those files to system/lib/and set them with rw-r--r-- permissions
6.Move and the app to system app with same permissions
7.Reboot
Sorry for my English..

Thank you very much for your answer. I was searching it for a very long time. It worked like a magic with my Google play services. Before moving the lib files apps like gmail, inbox by gmail, hangouts were showing "unknown problem with Google play". I couldn't afford the space for an non movable app with about 27 mb staying in my app storage.
I was really having a trouble for the same question in following thread.

Let's make a lesson...
I don't know with witch method has du move apps in system before and first you must check in system/app folder if have you double apps.
ex.
when you move an update of YouTube.apk, the name of updated app must have exactly the same name of default system app to overwrite it.
check and delete the oldest apks.
when you install a app from play store, that app creates a data folder,a dalvik cache file and perhaps a sdcard folder or a sdcard/android/data/xxx.xxx folder
when you uninstall a app from play store,the app has a script where automatically delete any created file.
when you delete a system app do must manually delete those files.Those files are in:
/data/data /the app data folder
and
/data/cache/dalvik cache or /data/dalvik cache
You can do all this only with root explorer or with one root file manager
the installed apps from play store you can find them in:
/data/app
You can see witch apps are in internal memory installed and you can copy from there...
always check first if the app works without lib files and if not,then move and those libs files
edit:
The play store and Google services apks are updated automatically without your permission and you can see that only in installed apps
All these sounds tricky but with a little practice you will become expert
@Superuser_
When new updates releases should I delete the lib files I just copied along with the app and replace it with the new updated apk's lib file.
Or the lib files I copied for older version works for new versions too?
Sent from my HTC Desire X using XDA Free mobile app
The old copied lib files wil not work in a new version
you must again copy those files and when you paste them will automatically overwrite the old ones
don't forget each time to change the permissions
The thing is I'm temp rooted. (htc desire x). And I use touch version of twrp recovery for jelly bean. I do all the things we were discussing with my recovery. And I assume chmod_66 or something like that is the command to set the read write permission. But I think whenever I copy apps or lib files to system using my recovery it's permission is read write by default. I assume this because I never faced a single problem for not setting any permission. I am not sure about it though. And will you please tell me what is the fix permission option under advanced menu in twrp recovery is used for?
@ashifashraf5
I don't have HTC DX..but a LG p700
Just visited the thread because I was looking if 4.4.4 came out for my girlfriend desire
The only thing I know is, when you are root you are root
Temporary root,I haven't heard before
The permissions can be changed with root explorer app.long press on a apk/permissions
Google it the:
how i can change permissions with root explorer app
@Superuser_
I was testing this method with Google maps. I found more than one subfolders in lib folder. My processor is arm v7. Is it what the armeabi-v7a stands for ?. Should I move all the .so files in lib folder or should I only move the armeabi_v7a subfolder .so files ?
I also attached a screenshot for convenience
Sent from my HTC Desire X using XDA Free mobile app
I think Google maps working in system without libs or not?
The other folders is for different processors
You must copy only the v7 files
@Superuser_
If I delete the libraries from the Apk using an explorer the size of Apk will get reduced. My doubt is , since we are copying the lib files needed , to the system/lib , if I delete the Lib Files from Apk and move it to system/app would there be any problem?
I mean
1. Will the app work properly ?
2. Will there be any difficulty for updating such modified apps through Google play
Sorry for the constant questions. And thanks for helping

Trying to understand link between Apk and Obb files

So it's pretty given that when you change anything in an obb file it breaks the link to its apk file.
But I've encountered a modded game in which changing the structure of the obb file doesn't break the link and you can load the game perfectly fine. Which opens the world to adding new contents into the obb file.
I'd like to know how to do this. I have no idea who the author of the modded game is so idk how to ask how he did it. So I'm here.
I have the original copy of the game but I want to mod it to add additional contents into it. Like more skins, etc.
