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!

If you mean .gpk, NO
If you want to install .apk then YES.
How?
1. Copy the apk files you want to install to your phone
2. On your phone, Goto Settings - Security - Enable unknown sources (under Device Administration)
3. open "My files" or any other file explorer you have previously installed. My files is pre-installed on your phone.
- browse to the folder where you copied those apk files to (in step 1.)
- open each apk file, one after the other to install.
Done

Gpk files is something concered with audio files or something and has nothing to do with android http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/gpk
To install apk files u should check unkown sources in settings >> security ( ICS )
Or settings >> location and Security (GB)
actually there is some games that is formated to gpk the only diffrence is it has an installer that automatically put all the file in its destination like the sd files or data. thou you can you winzip or rar to extract it if you dont want to use the installer called 'thumb play installer'
another method - http://www.muzhiwan.com/
install the top right apk

Needed \System\app folder content? (only .apk files)

Hi guys,
I'd like to ask you if Android really need .APK files in folder \System\app ? Can I delete for example all these .apk files or are they used by OS? I know that I can use concrete .APK when I need to, but maybe I can make a copy of all to computer and delete them from phone...?
It's just for my info, I have no problem with disk space or something like that....just for info
Thanx,
Rado

[Q] Is it possible to extract an APK file directly to an Android phone ?

I want to extract the files from the APK to get the app installed,
the problem is that the system does not recognize the apk files anymore.

if you want to just extract apk then it can be done by winrar but if you want to make it installable in your device then decompile it using apk tool

I think you are trying to actually extract it on the device and not your computer. This is possible with easily with an app called RAR For Android available in the Playstore. It's a free download.
If you mean extracting .apk files from your phone to get elsewhere you can use an app called "ApkExtractor" available in Play store for free of charge.
It's an android device (4.2.2) and it doesn't recognize APK files
So I need to extract the APK files from my computer to my device so the app will be installed.
