Is there an easy way to pull apps (apk) from appstore (google,amazon) and save it in a dir?

Get an file manager like es file explorer. Go under app manager and it will list all installed apps. Long press and choose backup. It will then be in a folder called backup on your SD card.

Just copy the apk file from /data/app
Es file explorer great option. I allow app monster pro to backup mine automatically. It achieves all versions of any given apk if the auto setting is checked.
Appmonster will save all your apps as apk into a back up folder on your sd card.
Ok, I have a rooted Charge running Eclipse Rom
I have downloaded some apk's & placed them on my sd card (buddies now, Samsung weather widget & a couple of other stock ones)
How do I get them from my sd card to system/app??

If they are not system app, you can download 'appinstaller" by FunTrigger and browse to the apk and install. If system app, you can use "root explore" or "ES File Explorer" from the Market and drop the apk in /Sytem/app/
Good luck.
You should just be able to click on them with Root Explorer to install them. If installation fails, just push them to /system/app with Root Explorer.

You have to mount /system/app as read/write. If you're using Root Explorer, tap the "Mount R/W" button at the top of the /system/app directory. If you're using another file explorer, you should be able to find an option to do it, but I don't know any of the other ones personally.
Thanks Guys
This is why I love XDA!!!

I installed Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC0. In him no have Task Manager. I would like to install, but I do not know how. It is not enough to click on the installer package. I copied and pasted it in system / app and did Permissions, but Task Manager is not installed.
post the app. I'll make you a fishable zip

JobManager from stock?
If true then it need framework from stock rom too. Or it doesnt work
In CM7 you can install any task manager from Market.

I solved the problem. I unzip RC 5.5 Full, from system > app, I copy the application to the SD card, using Root Explore, copied to in the system / app > Permissions > Restart.
I would like to replace the stock File Manager with another app like File Manager HD or Astro, or may be Root Explorer etc so that when I click on the External Storage Icon, it is the File Manager HD loaded up instead of File Manager. How can I do it?
I tried to disable File Manager from the Settings and the External Storage Icon does nothing when I click on it. I was expecting it will ask which app I would like to use.

Maybe replace the .apk in /system/app?

Could be a bad idea, if you don't agree it with other settings, dalvik-cache etc.

I've done it before, but yes, those settings can make it difficult to work

So today I got a new Xperia Arc S from my uncle that was rooted and flashed with a custom ROM and Kernel.
The problem is, the most important system apps are missing, Internet and Play store .
I searched around a bit and found the apk's and the guide said to just put them in /system/app which I did using ES file explorer but after I restarted the phone the apps are not installed and do not appear on the App list.
Could anyone help me or tell me how to install system apps?
For the moment I can download apps from my other phone and bluetooth them across.
Hi,
i recommend root Explorer lite.
Then copy the file(s) to /system/app . Then click long on the file and choose permissions. Then set it to
rw-r-r.
