noob question: do I need both the apk and odex file? Do I install it through something like astro, or just place it in the system folder?

I think the odex files are useless, they must be created on the DI for its use upon installation. They must be copied to the /system/app folder in recovery, I'm not sure if they'll work from Astro . . . I doubt it since /system is locked unless in recovery, ATM.

I think odexing the files is supposed to increase performance with the dalvik cache or something.

Thank you so much.

noob question, too.... is there a walkthru guide for installing the stock apps? I accidentally erased with Titanium, without backing them up first. jejeje EVO 4G, with unrEVOked, i believ it has stock kernel. any help greatly appreciated.

Download a file manager like root explorer and just put them into system/apps and reboot... That's how I've done it

Does not work in HTC Desire Z. Do any of you have Desire Z sense mail apk?

Noob question. I'm looking for a friend to add some of the Sense apps to his CM7 install. Is it possible to just add the stock apk to the system?

The link doesn't work anymore and I am searching for HtcFacebook.odex. Can someone please upload it again?

Stock .apk's backup

Has anyone backed up the stock applications? I accidentally deleted audiotuning.apk and want to put it back, even though I haven't determined what it's for. If anyone has backed these up to their desktop, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could send it to me so I don't have to reinstall.
Coming from a lifetime use of Blackberry, it seems we can't fix our mistakes as easily on Android

I use the Sdx Stock App to backup and delete system apps. If you're rooted it's invaluable.

Thank you!!!!
It seems I can't copy this over to system\apps. Looks like the .odex was deleted also. Could you please attach this for me too? Hoping that will do it. I'm rooted so I don't know why it's not showing up (using root explorer)
Or do I have to do this using adb ?
I am going to zip all these up and post them on here for other morons like me after

Rename it to .odex it's not really a zip file. I had to name it that to get around the forum limitations.
I'm pretty sure you have to do it using ADB and mount the system/app directory as writable. If you install the Sdx tool you can backup a few apps, then navigate to the sdx directory on the sdcard that gets created and manually add the audioTuining files in there and then restore them using the Sdx app.
That's a long way around ADB but it should work.

Thanks again!!!
Jeeze what a hell of a job it is to push a few files to /system folder
Anyway, got them over there...Unavailable to actually install it (no idea why) but at least it's sitting back in there
That takes care of my OCD until I notice what it affected

where can i find that sdx tool? are there any other free apps out there that I can back up my phone with?

I'd be most grateful if someone could attach VoiceSearch.apk, and VoiceSearch.odex.
Accidentally deleted.

I would like to, but I don't have more files.
Prada phone users don't have root permission yet, so don't know how to copy system files.

[Q] Is it ok to delete apk files after installation? Please read further.

Hi. I just found out that apk files are kept in the device after installation of the app.
I just recently downloaded a file explorer app and I found out that the apk files of the free games which I downloaded and installed from android market are kept in this folder:
/mnt/asec (I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace)
There are individual folders for each game, and in each folder are a lib folder and the apk file. For example:
Fruit Ninja folder (which is found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
Fruit Slice folder (which is also found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
My question is, is it ok to delete these apk files? Will the games still work?
Also, can I send these apk files to someone else via bluetooth so they may download the apps without having to visit android market?

yeah you can delete the apk file after installing any app for it to still function, I do it all the time. Yes you can send the apk file to your friend so they can install it. If you're still cautious, try doing a trial run with one apk file...send it to your friend first, then delete, see if it works.

The .apk files are like setup files for windows. Once installed, you don't need the apk, especially if you are backing up with Titanium or similar backup program.

follow up question
Hi. Thanks guys.
Is everything from the android market ".apk"? Is it possible that some have a different extension? I downloaded a dictionary app, I can't be sure but I think it's a .zip file.
Thank you.

I tried to delete the apk file. It cannot be deleted.
However, I copied it to my sd card, uninstalled the app, re-installed it using the one already in my sdcard, and it installed just fine.
I still want to be able to delete the apk file that is in the system though (/mnt/asec).
Any ideas or do I just have to deal with it?

I agree with deleting it won't be a problem but sending to a friend?
sometimes I think there would be a message stating that its not sign
correctly.. correct me if I'm wrong Thank You

WillShaka, like I said, I tried to delete it. I can't. Not allowed.
I don't know why. I'm using ES File explorer

not sure if this works but have you tried unmounting the sd and delete?

Also, and I don't mean to veer out of topic (this question is often ignored in Q&A forum), if I use Odin to upgrade my stock firmware instead of using Kies, will it erase all my data? I have a feeling it will...

Just tried it. Doesn't work, but thanks for suggesting. =)

Yes, you can delete the APK after installation. But the APKs in /system/app/ need to stay where they are to function appropriately

So my daragon city and messenger are in the apk files I don't know if its backed by another zip folder my tablet is the amazon fire so if I deleted the apk files that is downloaded for an android would my appe still work the same

Copy both files to system/app and give them the same permissions as the other files in that folder.
Do the same with the attached files (LG Home selector).
Reboot the phone and it will ask you what home app to use.
Afterwards, you can delete the apk of your current Home app.

I've actually pushed the files over via ADB, but it doesn't install for some reason.... and I can't just copy it into System/app normally because it fails...which is why I wanted to see if any one can create a flashable zip. :/
OMGGGGG Who knew this can be so hard for ONE app. lol.
