I've been searching everywhere through countless pages and the ten or so links I've been able to find are all either dead or are incorrectly labeled, etc.
I just need the stock calendar .apk specifically, but I'd love to have the entire system dump for future use.
Thanks!

Using dsicda's kitchen.
What is the minimum set of apks required in the /system/app folder.
i.e. I wish to create a minimum install in /system/app and move everything else to /data/app. Cant find what I'm looking for via google search, not really sure what keywords to use.
Anyone suggest or better still - provide a link.
Got it! Just for anyone watching this thread...

One would need to examine the manifest files in the APKs to determine if the APK can be installed into external storage (i.e. does not include the android:installLocation "internalOnly" directive).
Does anyone know where I can view a guide regarding the file structure on the Mini pro? I want to try and understand what everything does. For instance where is browser cache / temporary files stored? Do programs contain many attributes spanning multiples folders or do they just act like a portable app residing in the /system/app folder? Where are emails stored from the email.apk? If anyone knows of a guide I can start with that would be cool.
Its basically the standard linux directory structure. If you search google you'll find plenty of info.
Yes but where are things like temp files stored, browser cache etc?
Hello,
I wanted to find a way to manually save my bookmarks and share them between my 3 android devices. I am using the stock browser on all 3 so I figured there should be an easy way to do this.
*** NOTE ***
For those of you who are new to Android tweaking and new to the G Tablet you will be required to root your tablet if you have not already done so. You will want to download and use RootExplorer to copy and move files around because these files do reside in an area that requires root access.
There are 3 files that you want to save; the files are located in the root of your device. The path to the files would look like this:
/data/data/com.android.browser/databases
and the 3 files you will find in that directory are:
browser.db (I expect this is the db that holds your bookmarks)
webview.db
webviewCache.db
I copied these files up to dropbox, then I fired up the other tablet and downloaded those files from dropbox. I then used RootExplorer to move the files from the dropbox folder on my SDCard to /data/data/com.android.browser/databases.
I then started my stock browser; looked at my saved bookmarks and everything was there!
I realize that you can backup and restore via Titanium Backup; however this is just a manual way to export and import your stock browser bookmarks if you ever need to do so.
Hope you find this useful!

Hello all.
I've recently had to repair my phone and as a result all the data I had on it was erased. However, the custom background image I picked is still there, although I can't find the original file in any of the folders.
I don't have a SD card, so it could only be on the phone itself.
Does anyone know how I can restore that image? My thoughts are that the system 'cached' it somewhere and I would like to find it. I can't remember it's name, but maybe there's a folder of cached images or something...?
Thank you!
In /system/framework/framework-res.apk there is also a wallpaper which the phone defaults to when booting up for the first time.
Inside framework-res.apk it's located in /res/drawable-hdpi and called default_wallpaper.jpg.
So if you're rooted you can extract it from there and save it somewhere more convenient
Hi All,
Am getting a bit desperate, as I've never before found a problem that has *absolutely* no result in even the most generic google/forum search.
Was running SDMaid on my Galaxy S5 (SM-900F; 4.4.2) and one of the .tmp files it came up with was named 'store_file.tmp' sitting in the 'root/data' directory. It was a whopping 1.81gb!
Have been trying to figure out if this is something I can safely delete or not, but even the most generic search of the filename on Google or the various android forums doesn't give me a single appropriate hit! The file hasn't been modified for a couple of weeks, but there's really no suggestion as to what program generated it. Have tried copying it to my PC and opening with verious text/hex editors, but none of them want to have anything to do with a file that size.
Has anyone come across this before? Any idea where it originates?
