(Q) is there a way to undelete a file via estrongs ?

Need help I was exploring strong file manager and wanted to delete a file and ended up deleting my Android file because I have no clue to maneuver in it. Yes I'm a noob any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Should lookout backup and restore work? Hummm maybe I just answered my own question.... but if someone could help with the navigation part that would ne great. That's in advance.

Extrct the rom zip you installed on your phone to your desktop copy it to your phones sd use es file explorer to put it back

where do apps install to?

hello, I'm rooted and I wanted to change a few of my icons so they are changed in the app drawer. on my ipod touch I used iFile to find the app's folder and overwrite the icon.png, I tried to use Root Explorer to do this but I can't figure out where the apps install to. Could anyone give me a hint? thanks in advance.

System apps would be /system/app
User apps would be /data/app

thank you, sorry for the ignorant reply but all I found were apk's. the apps don't unpack files into a directory when installed? they stay and run from an apk on your phone?

Yes, and the data from them is stored in /data/data/

thank you, so if I don't see the icon files in data/data then I'm screwed as far as being able to change it?

Iirc here are the general steps.
Search to get the exact syntax.
Make a copy of the apk.
Rename the copy suffix to .zip from . apk
Extract the image stuff and replace it.
Repack the zip.
Rename it to apk

/system/app/ or sometimes /data/app/ if you modify an app you have to sign it again or the phone won't recognize it
EDIT: Use ninjamorph and just drag and drop the pings in there and here is myn's method of signing

The data folder contains the downloaded/installed apps? I have mine though, consists of the downloaded apps from the android market.

/system/app contains the pre-installed apps (the ones that you cannot delete normally)
/data/app contains the user installed apps
Anyways what files are you looking for? Im pretty sure your phone has root access, as user level access cannot view whats inside the /data folder.

Buddy, just get the TFT file of your firmware version and do a quick flash using flashtool without wiping the data. That should solve all your problems

copy that file in system folder, make permissions( XX0, x00,x00) and move in system/App folder. Then reboot phone
