Hi, does anyone know the folder location where Kitkat stores the apps.
I know with JB, ICS etc it was system/data or something like that but i just cant find the folder location for 4.4.2
Bump....
No body knows where 4.2.2 stores installed apps on the phone???
I can find the pre installed apps system/app, system/priv app, system/etc/customisation/applications, system/etc/product/applications but not the ones that you install over time which used to be system/data/app or something like that with JB, ICS etc.

/data/app/
It's always been preinstalled apps are in /system/app and anything the user has installed is /data/app.

Are those apps installed on your phone?
If yes, then imo they are in /data.
But if you want apk's of the apps just download mybackuppro and select backup option and choose those apps.....all the apk's of those apps will be in rerware folder of sdcard...
Hope this helps.................
Once you paid for an app on market, you can install it unlimited number of times on any phone logged in your google account, factory reset & custom rom etc doesn't really matter.
Ok! So I have installed ICS on my GS2 and just rooted the thing! Problem is whenever I want to delete some apks (Swype, Polaris, etc.) I can't seem to find them in the usual system/app folder...
Can anyone tell me where to find these hidden apps? They do appear in the apps list, but I can neither unistall them or disable them...
Thanks for any assistance on the matter!
Is your phone now rooted ???

With Titanium Backup, you can delete these apk files
Is there a way to have, say, multiple Gallery.apk, all being individual applications that can be opened? But not default apks, an apk that I downloaded from the Playstore.
On that note, where can I find my apks that I downloaded from the Playstore?

Play Store standards don't allow two packages having same names, but yes.. there's a possibility that they can clash with apps installed from other sources (like pre-installed apps, manually installed apps etc). But, its worth remembering that APKs downloaded from Play Store aren't launch-able. They can only be used to install apps. So, there's no use of such things.
You can find APKs downloaded from Play Store at /data/app. You can fetch them using Backup feature of Astro File Manager (there are many other apps for this job). You can use ROM Toolbox Pro, too. It can backup up APK instantly after an app is installed.
Hi,
I'd like to know how to safely delete system or ROM pre-installed applications that don't offer an "Uninstall" option. I am rooted and running 5.0.2 on a Nexus 6. I know I could do this with Titanium or other similar apps but my point is to not install a specific app just for deleting apps if I can find the correct path/file from Root Explorer and remove it myself.
Thanks

from my experience the best that you can do is to use root explorer and goto system/app or system/priv-app and delete folder-app you do not need, then goto data/dalvik-cache, search for apk name and delete also program *.dex, so this is a clean method, make a reboot for clearing apk data !
It's safer to rename the app instead of deleting it... "freezing" apps often just add ".fro" to the app's name (whatever.apk.fro, for example) to keep it from appearing in your app launcher or loading. If anything goes wrong because of the "missing" app, you can easily restore it.
this my first thread, hope i can get some answer.
my phone is asus zen 2 laser wich is recently get marsmallow update, and you know even the android is the newest version but the system and user app such as gmail playstore and etc keepin' give an update like twice a month maybe, and im the one who always check the latest version of my apps on playstore, then if theres an update i will update to the latest version
what i want to ask is how to integrated the update app to rom?
you know if you update an user apps the update will replace the old one cause theres still on data/app
but if you update a system app the old one still on system/app or system/priv-app and the new one on data/app
wich is for me so wasting space, cause i have a pretty large freespace on system/
i usually use link2sd but on Marshmallow i think it useless, it says success like always but after i reboot the apps that i recently integrated with link2sd will gone, therefore the file still on system
i try to manually push the file into system, it just get the same result
anyone can help me?
