hi there.
can someone please tell me what are those files
mxip_***, cemail and pim
can I move them somewhere or make them hidden using registry tweak ?
they look like system files I wouldn't delete them but somehow they disturb aesthetics of my device when in file explorer. any info most appreciated.
thanks.
I would like to know what these files are, too. They can't be deleted, and I think they have something to do with why I've had two SD cards now become corrupt with junk files....

I have searched this forum and have not found an answer. I would like to know how to backup the .apk files that are stored on the phone memory, not the SD card. I have used ASTRO file manager but cannot locate the .apk files. I have already used Titanium Backup Pro but I have found that the .apk files are backed up a .tar.gz files. What I want to do is backup the .apk files as .apk files for future resoration or transport to another Android device. I have searched the phone and cannot loacte where the downloaded .apk's are being stored. Could someone out there please help point me in the right direction.

You have a couple of options. You can tell titanium backup not to use compression when backing up, or you can use 'Root Explorer' and navigate to /data/app where you will find all your user installed apps, be aware that the data for the apps, such as save games etc... is stored in /data/data.
Hope that this is of some help to you.
Tahnsk for your help
Doktaphex,
I tried turning compression off but titanium backup still created .tar files, not .apk files. Secon option of using root explorer worked just great.
Thanks for your help.
You can use Titanium backup, which will create compressed file, but you can decompress it on your PC and extract .apk file.
Method I use is with ASTRO. Go to menu-tools-backup programs, choose programs you want to backup and hit 'Backup' button. Then navigate to backup folder and there are your programs. But be aware, they will show market names whic are not always easy to determine which .apk is which program.
I use appmonster as it backs up when you install from any source, using an old version 1.9.0 as they changed the way it puts file names, nopw it does via market, on prior it was a readable name
I am using app saver, it works~
A simple option would be to install appInstaller (the one by Gregory House) from the market.
It's a lightweight app which backs up apk files to a folder on your sd card named app saver.
Noob here,

It all depends of the app...if is a system app or a market one. You have to use a file explorer such as file manager or ES explorer.
If the app you are looking for is a system on you need to be rooted.
Try apk extractor in the market its free, its what I use.

The Groupon app has a lovely notification sound, however I cannot find the file anywhere on my phone. I've tried looking via a local file explorer and the Android File Transfer tool for Mac. I want to use the notification for my SMS.
Does anyone know where to find the file?
Thanks!
Your going to need to extract the apk on a computer and find the audio file there, Then move it to the phone, move it to this directory- /system/media/audio/notifications
Then reboot.

Here's the file in case anyone is looking for it.
Hi guys
I cant delete some files on my phone I have tried astro file manager root explorer but no help at all.
The files I cant delete is left over from my very first Alliance ROM. What should I do for this issue?
Hello everyone,
I have racked my brain to find a solution in vain. So I ask for help
In my gallery, I have a file named Drop Box ( but the icon is picasa)
I cannot delete the file and delete the photos inside the file.
How do I delete photos inside this file?
It's different from other normal files which can be deleted.
In my dropbox, I don't have any shared file. I don't have the photo which is inside the file actually in my dropbox.
I don't use picasa as well.
With reference to the following thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351600
I don't have the same options given by other users as I am using tablet Nexus 2013, not phone.
Thank you very much!
