Hi all
I've installed an application I've written and it works perfectly on the device..the problem is..where can I find the apk on the device? what's the location?
thanks in advance for the answers
Root -> System -> app
Use OI File Manager.

uhm so I need a rooted device to access this, right? there's no other way?
Sorry, my bad.
I didn't mean you need to root the phone. I meant starting from the directory root.
Using OI File Manager, tap on the home icon "A house" then tap system folder then app folder (should be first).
the apk is stored in /data/app/, app data is stored in /data/data/

Cheers. I root phones as soon as I get them so I forget what can and can't be done without it.

no only superusers have r/w permission to /system, without root only android system has read permission and no one has write permission lol

Hello I am using Xperia Arc with 2.3.4 rooted
I want to hide my camera application
before 2.3.4 update I used to hide camera app using smart bar(in application manager there is app called camera). It worked successfully
But after 2.3.4 upgrade there is additional app named Camera 3D along with default Camera . The problem is that Camera 3D is not visible in application manager of smart bar. So I cannot use above method to hide it. Is there any simple way to hide Camera 3d ?
I think following method might work. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am nob to this stuff !!
1)in the file manager I found there are 3 camera related apks in /system/app folder viz semcCamera3D.apk,semcCameraUI. apk,CameraExtentionPermission.apk
2)I think if I delete semcCamera3D.apk ,camera 3D will disappear permanently . I am correct ? Is it safe to remove semcCamera3D.apk?
3)adao file manager says I do not have permissions to delete files in /system/app . Even when my arc is rooted. Is there any free gui app like Root explore to delete such system apps?
Sounds like you're not rooted to me.. But why would you want to hide/ remove it anyway?!?? If you do then try using Titanium Backup to freeze it.

Take root explorer and go to system/apps and delete 3dcamera apk and all fine. Gallery dissapears after that to.
this method dont hide that app, its DELETING this app.

IF you are ROOT user,then thear up right corner is button "mount r/w, mount r/o"
Push "mount r/w" and you are abel to delete all what you want. But alway make before BACKUP to file what you want to delete.

Case closed
So i just installed the new BM 5.0 and i was deleting unwanted apps via Titanium Backup pro .. i was doing it so fast that i accidentally deleted task manager! now everytime i click on the widget "Active Application" it fore closes! i tried to look for the stock task manager in the app store but could not find it! is there a way to undo the delete without doing a nandroid restore?
Use the feature in Titanium that can pull apks from cwm backups. You should be able to fix it with that.

1) Open TB
2) Go to Backup/Restore
3) Option soft key
4) More
5) Extract from Nandroid backup
6) Pick Task Manager
I personally tried it once and it didn't work for me, worst comes to worst I'll upload you the JobManager.apk (I assume that's the one you're talking about? The Samsung task manager?). But I assume it works, otherwise they wouldn't include the feature.

To install it, you'll need a file explorer with root access (ES File Explorer, ROOT File Explorer, etc.). Then you'll have to move it to /system/app (to get to /system you'll have to go one level up from /sdcard to get to the root folder /). Make the permissions read "rw- r-- r--" (how you do that depends on what file explorer you use) and then reboot. Should fix the issue.

I'm guessing you're doing it from your phone? Minus has a quirk with mobile sites. Download it from your computer or change your user agent to desktop.

It'll be an option in root explorer along the lines of "root access". I don't know the exact process because I use ES. Play around in the settings of root explorer until you find it. By default it's disabled to prevent users from actually screwing with their system operating system without knowing what they're doing.
did not find anything under settings but there was a button that said Mount R/O or Mount R/W ... so i selected the file to move then i went to system/app thrn i clicked the mount button on the top and it worked! Thank u so much for ur help and fast responds! u really saved mr from alot of grief.

Yeah it's the same thing, you're just allowing the system position to be written to. No problem. Is your task manager working as usual now?

Not sure. Android has a native task manager other than the Samsung one so that might have anything to do with it

Was it working fine when you first installed it? Either way, there's always 5 generic steps you should always take first when trying to resolve an issue:
1) clear application data
2) reboot to recovery and clear cache
3) clear dalvik cache
4) fix permissions
5) reboot
See if that fixes your issues

Hey guys, how to install FMRadio.apk on RadonMod v2.5 rom?

You just have to put the apk file of the FMradio on your sd card...then you open a file browser like astro-file-manager...you look for the path (you have chosen for the apk-file) and open the file by tapping it-->you have to tap "install" and it should work
if you haven't the file yet her you can get it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375342

Yes it should, but when i tap "install" it starts installing and say "Application not installed"
Just an idea but i heared of some guys who chose as default installing-place the internal storage (not sd-card) and then it installing was possible...maybe it will work

How should i do that?
You go to Settings -> Cyanogen Mod Settings -> Application -> Install location -> there you choose "Internal" ...hope it will work

Use root explorer
mount as r/w
put in system/app
set permission as rwx-rxx-rxx
then reboot

What is permission rxx???
it means mounting/unmounting your storage...maybe by installing with root explorer (how ajeetone said) will help...
...if you set permissions as r/w for the internal storage, maybe it could work....but after putting file in system/app you have to change permissions back to rwx-rxx-rxx
the current status (r/w) you see in the marked part...

How to put permission to rxx? there i can put only read-write-execute (rwx)

rxx means you should just check Read and unchek the other two options in a row (if they are checked).
rwx means you should check Read and Write, and uncheck the third option in a row.
In your case you should uncheck Execute in every row.
Thanks for this post. I'm having exactly same issue with the RadonMod v2.5. Did you manage to install fmRadio?
Did you get the apk from stock?
