Not sure why you'd want to find them but if you're trying to get it for free (or something like that), you're in the wrong place.
If that's not the case, mind clarifying why you're looking for them?

I paid for root explorer so that I can explore the files and folders on my phone. I noticed that half of the apps I have installed are not in the same location as I usually would see them....not sure what you mean by get them for free when they are paid apps already on my phone. Do I need to forward you google receipts...not everyone is trying to get everything for free. This is not my first post and if you were to check my previous posts you would see that I'm always taking time to help others in the pasts. Thanks anyways.
Btw Im looking for them because I like to theme some of my apps. You'll see I made a tutorial over a year ago on how to use 7zip to theme your phone or apps.

Slow down for a sec... I'm sorry you took this in the wrong way. There just isn't any reason to be looking for a app with root explorer unless you wanna extract it (I won't explain the process of stealing paid apps), which is why I was asking your reasons for it.
Either way, as you probably noticed, not all apps install in the same folders (often games). Some of them are installed under system/app, others in data/data and of course, data/app (there might be other folders).
You could also use TiBu to backup the apk, pull it from your phone (in the TiBu folder) and do your magic from there.
P.S.: Reading with a smile helps to avoid confusion and taking things the wrong way
I too pull the apps and theme them for myself. For Root Explorer and probably other paid apps I too am not sure where they are now. Root Explorer was always under data/apps but after its update I have not found it. It has a built in theme kind of where you can choose some of the images seen (text file,picture file, etc.) but I was just wanting to theme them color wise but I haven't found it yet. I will let you know if I find it, please do the same. I will do a complete search of all files to see if I can locate where it is hidden.
I also know some of the apps stuff is located in data/data but when you find speed software there it doesn't have the files I am looking for.
EDIT: I FOUND IT. It is called pkg.apk or red.zip and is located in mnt/asec/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer-1/pkg.apk

Hey, I installed Fresh on my EVO, and I would still like to have a couple of the Stock Apps that came preinstalled, like Sprint TV, FM Radio and such. Where can I get these from? I made a backup, using Titanium, of my Handset prior to Installing Fresh. And when I open up Titanium to find them, they are listed, I select them, and install/recover them. However, I go to find them on my handset, and their not installed. I rebooted my EVO incase thats the issue, and still cannot find these apps. I thought I remembered reading in one of the SEVERAL 100 page threads that someone had a link to a page containing the Stock apps, but I cannot find it. I did do a little searching but still cant find it. And sifting through 100's of pages of different threads is very counterproductive. So do you guys know the link at all? Can you help me out at all? Thanks!
PROTIP: there's a folder in your SD card containing all the Fresh removed APKs in a folder called something very similar to "Fresh Removed APKs" that may contain the files your looking for.
To install, just browse into the directory with a file manager (I like EStrongs File Explorer) and run the ones you want.
Prepare to be flamed.
Oh yeah...you deserve it.

Hi, anyone knows an app or method how to clean up unused folders on Galaxy Nexus (folders from previous app installs, cache etc)? tia
Plug your phone into your PC and delete them or use Root Explorer. I'm sure you could have figured that out.

How could there be an app that could do this? It wouldn't know what you consider to not be worthy file.

There's an app to tell the other app what's not worthy. It's called "whatchu talkin bout willis?". It's free in the market.

Like the apps SDmaid or DiskUsage?
I believe the OP is referring to an app which removes the MANY orphaned files and folders that are left behind by apps which have been uninstalled.
I find this to also be a issue as Android seems really sloppy with cleanup of these orphaned files/folders. When I check my storage space, there are lots of folders from apps I removed weeks ago... And these are in areas I have access to. I'd hate to know what's been leftover in root areas of storage.
Why does my phone give me these weird "insufficient storage" pop ups when I have free memory. I barely have any apps on my phone and I just went to update tb and it said that I have no room. Also when I move apps to sd card most of them work but some of them give me this message as well even tho I know they're lying because I know I have free memory on both the phone and sd card but I get this message and they don't let me install or move apps. Anyone have this problem before? And I've seeen it on different roms so I don't think a reflash will fix it.

First, what program is giving the error, and what segment of the memory is it trying to write to. If you are trying to write to the SD card and there is no room there, then you might have a problem with that. On the other hand, it may be another section.
Additionally, you may have downloaded a program that wants to allocate a very large chunk of space for itself. More than you have. Some games download their data when you first load them. They often check for sufficient space first. They can use well over half a gigabyte, so if your SD Card doesn't have that space free, it will error out.
I know wht you're talking about but I don't recall titanium backup needing an extra couple hundred Mbs to work lol.
Its happening with every freaking app I'm trying to download off the market or install off my sd card. And even the apps I'm trying to simply update off the market.
And I have like 4gbs free on my sd card and 500 mb free on the phones storage.

There's been several ways of going about remedying this, there's the odin to stock method, the factory reset, and the clear market data method. I've personally only tried the latter 2, and they work temporarily in my experience.

DONT REFLASH... lol titanium backup odex file is corrupt, remove it from system/app and uninstall TB, then download again
What hsppens is there are fragments of the old programs still In data that screw up the reinstall. Search with root explorer and nuke those bits. For instance if youtube app fails, search for youtube and a list of all files with that in the name will pop up. Nuke those files (don't forget to make r/w). Other option is odin and clean imstall.

yeah I got that error too
Is there a app that can automatically clean old left behind files like 1click cleanup.
Hi all, I too had that problem before when I was on stock EC05 BML and had little space on internal memory. I could not upgrade Titanuim so I got so mad that I started getting into custom roms with MTD to have more space. Also helps if you get a class 10 32gb card.
I saw that the July 15, Titanium try to download from market it failed because not enough space and I was tripping but I used the lucky and it cleaned the messed up left behind odex, then install was coolio.
I also get sometimes could not parse error on .apk and never could figure it out. I guess they are not compatible with my phone since they were not downloaded from market...

No problem, just helping out. have fun
Titanium Backup is one of the most useful programs to come along for people who root and flash. It is well worht a few bucks ($6) to guarantee working updates, support the developer, freeze apps, batch work, and to save all your data. It pains me to see a program discussed here whose sole purpose is to cheat the developer out of a few bucks.

I just had to scroll back and re- read the whole thread. The second time around I saw the app you refered to by name. After Google searching it I realized what you are talking about. I agree with your statement and am a proud owner of Titanium Backup.
He says it will get rid of all 'corrupt data'?? I don't understand...?

I think that this is sometimes caused by unnecessarily re-flashing the gapps when doing a dirty upgrade upgrade on cm or aokp. It also happened to me after advance-restoring data on aokp. Duplicity seems to be the main connection here. Clean installs are good for the epic's soul.

Well after installing the LH9 update, my battery life is horrible like so many others.
I am going to downgrade back to a rooted LG1, and I want to prevent the OS from trying to do the OTA update again.
I've googled and done some searches on here, and read a few ways, but wanted to know if someone can clarify an easy way to do it.
Not to sound cheap, but I'd hate to buy Titanium backup just to freeze one thing, being as I wouldn't use the program for anything else.
I also read about just deleting the AT&T update program. But an not sure the best way to do that.
So I am just seeking an easy way to just stop the update process without having to spend money on apps I wouldn't use for anything else.
Using tibu to freeze an app is the exact same thing as disabling it in application settings. I think what your looking for is device management. I think.

Ok I just looked and it's called "AT&T Software Update" and you can't disable it normally in the phone. The option is grayed out.
Are there any free programs to Freeze apps? I wouldn't mind buying TiBu if I felt I would get more use out it. But for now I only need it to do that one thing, so I just can't justify the cost of it, being as it isn't too cheap.
TiBu is the best $6 I've spent on this hobby.
If your not rooted tibu won't do you any good anyway. But if you are rooted, go into system/app folder and either rename or move the apk in question. OTA no more.

go to system/app and delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex that will stop it. I would move them to your sdcard and keep them in case you need them again.

Thanks for the great info you guys.
Is there a free explorer app which will give access to the system/app folder? Or is Root Explorer the only option?
Thanks.
ES File explorer will, just enable root explorer in settings.
When I try to delete the apk and odex through es file explorer it always fails. Anyway to get around this? I'm a n00b.

hi, think this my first post, and Im not sure if i am in the rite plase..
I just inatall Jedi master 18, custome rom. into my note2 tmobile.
it works great, wonderfull. but I notice, that the stock my files app
is not showing.
and I will like to know, if by any idea, I could get it back..
I really love that particular app. thank you
I do believe there was an option for "myfiles" in aroma installer, but I may be wrong about that. You can just reinstall the Rom on top of itself without losing settings or data. "My files" may not give you access to the root directory, again I'm not sure as I have considered "myfiles" to be bloatware since froyo.
Might I recommend an app in the play store called "root explorer" it is a paid app, but absolutely worth the small charge. "Es file explorer" would be the second runner up, this is a free app but imho not as intuitive as root explorer
