Looking for the .apk of a app i just bought - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought the airsync app .
I cant seem to find where the .apk was downloaded. I checked the download file and all the new files that the airsync program created. no .apk
Any suggestions?

Email the developers with proof of purchase and I'm sure they'll help you out.

Done. but my question then is if it is downloaded from the market place, what is it downloading and where does it save it to?
Also does android after installation delete the downloaded files?

If you are rooted you can get the apk out of /data/app or /data/app-private

I've noticed with some apps that if you're sd card is mounted to the phone you can't dl them. It happens with Angry Birds and Five Pumpkins games for me.

apps get installed to /data/app.
But as far as Airsync goes, I thought that it was an extenstion to the DoubleTwist app... Maybe that's why you can't find the apk.

accessing the internal memory on pc

hi,
i recently got the xperia play for christmas and i want to play my psone games on it. so i got the PSXperia tool but requires to get a .apk and .zpak files, which are in the internal memory, which i cannot access through windows explorer. is there a tool that allows me to access this? its an unrooted phone, on 2.3.4
thank you
AFAIK none of the instructions @ https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki require you to access the internal memory.
Urrr...not on the website...on the actual application though
"You need to extract some files from the Crash bandicoot apk that came with your Xperia Play
The APK is either com.sony.playstationblahblahblah.apk or com.sony.playstation.blahblahblah.apk in the system/app folder of your android phone's INTERNAL MEMORY"
So I can get the ZPAK from the SD card, however I cannot get the APK. Help?
You should be able to use adb pull to get it
(Do a temp root with zergRush if you have to).
Sorry Im a noob could you explain what those are and how you do it?

no.
this is what wrong with the Internet. people expect to be told everything.
many threads in Xda on how to do it or perhaps Google how to use adb to pull files
rant over.. this wasn't personal

Download Astro File Manager from the Android Market. Launch the app and find the directory where the APK file is located, which is in "/system/app".
Press down on the APK file and tap on "copy". Then go back to your SD card and paste it there.
^^ This was the fastest way I was able to get that APK file.

Insufficient Storage

Hey all, the forums been great at helping me with any issues I've had so I thought I'd throw another one your way. So just a moment ago when attempting to update some apps as play store notified me of the availability and it's giving me an "insufficient storage" msg I'm just trying to update swiftkey and google maps and I have over 6gb left, could someone please help me out with what's going on here? My next thought is to wipe phone and start from scratch but we all know the hassle that can be. Please help thanks.
i sent you a pm

Any other takers? The pm'd method did not work and it's really annoying now because I was just able to do other updates it specifically won't let me update swiftkey, maps and crunchyroll. 2 out of these 3 are important lol and once again it just did 4 other updates with no problem just stops with these ones. Please help me or I'm gonna have to do a wipe and format my data just to be sure. Would rather not especially as I'm at work now and wifi is at home.
Any time I have gotten this error when trying to install an app (via play store or otherwise) it was due to a stuck (locked/corrupted/wrong permissions?) .odex for the app being present in the same directory as the app.
Use a root enabled explorer (ES File Explorer) and navigate to the directory where the app is located (/system/app for system apps or /data/app for user installed apps). Look for a file with the same name as the application's apk but it will be a .odex file. Delete this odex file and attempt to update from the play store. If deleting just the .odex file doesn't help, try deleting the .apk as well and re-download/install the app.
I hope this helps. If there is no .odex file present then I'm lost as like I said, the only time I have gotten that error is when there has been an .odex file present that I assume was had either improper permissions or corrupted.

Why do obb game files get deleted in M8?

I've put a game file on the M8. i dont have the game in my region so i used an apk and obb. The obb folder is shown empty after i try to play the game and check it. Games' files disappear, although still consuming space in the internal memory. I have to reformat the internal memory every time to get back that space. The obb folder is shown empty after i try to play the game and check it. There is nothing in it although i had put the game folder in it. But the space is still consumed. Can anybody help regarding this?
MINE IS A STOCK m8 UNROOTED.

Obvious question.

Sorry, I'm struggling here. I understood from @ethan3686 that maybe due to location (India) he had a problem installing this.
Your post of how to install the apk and obb shows this is about how to install the cracked version. In the UK you can download the game from the playstore with no problem unless you want the full version for free.

How to delete or empty download folder on aftv??

Im trying to save some space and delete some files on my rooted aftv,, in the download folder
Just install a file explorer like ES file explorer and find and delete them in the download folder

Maybe the somewhat recently made Android app "CCleaner" would work.
It can be found on the Play Store,and its been submitted by Piriform itself.
I haven't tried it out yet,but it has the option to clean the Download folder.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piriform.ccleaner
Just don't expect any widgets to work on Fire TV.
Ccleaner does not work
Let me guess,the widget triggered immediate closing of the app?
EFFIN HATE widgets since they don't work on Fire TV and cause nothing but trouble when apps depend on them!!!
Only the RAM clearing rectangle widget works,nothing else besides onscreen IME controls and a few other things.
Maybe you could email the dev and ask about Fire TV support through Google Play for rooted users.

Reason it's saying that is because that *.obb file isn't put where it needs to go, so it wants to download it, and thinks it's not paid for.
I don't know the location on the AFTV as my ES File Explorer won't get off the SDCard. But it's generally ../android/obb directory.
Also, you need to copy the *.obb file over before installing the *.apk file, or it will error out with the same error.
Thanks for response. I tried that but didnt work. Here's my location of where the OBB file is
\Xperia Tablet Z\Internal storage\Android\obb\com-lego-fusion-townmaster

hmm, okay. Well, I'm getting my usb stick tomorrow and will have to deal with this myself, so give me a few days and maybe I'll have an answer for you.
Great! Hope you can figure this out. Thanks again
okay, what I have found out so far is that the obb directory is /sdcard/Android/obb and I needed to turn on root access in es file to see it.
Copying the directory of stuff into there, and then you install the *.apk
If you installed the *.apk first, then uninstall it, then copy the stuff over, then install it.
Should work for most stuff, but I haven't played with it much. Been busy.
Was really hard to find at first, the location. But I didn't have root enabled in es file.
Where did you find it?
Where did you get this obb file I've search the internet for it and all I get is this same exact post on 20 different website's.
Thanks
