i would like to backup apps to a .APK file so i can put them on the computer .....TB (titanium backup) doesn't seem to put them in just a .apk so how can i do this?
id like to be able to use "adb install _______.apk" to put apps on a phone all at once without needing to buy TB as i don't have the money....
I just found an app that does that this morning. It's called apkExtractor by Kim Heeseok. I'd post a link, but you need 8 total posts before you can do that.

*sigh* can you put the link in a PM? or just put spaces between the parts so it doesn't register as a link, i can put it back together when i get it.
Here (delete brackets around https and .com):
[h][t][t][p]://play.google[.com]/store/apps/details?id=net.sylark.apkextractor
Edit: Just as a note, inside of the app, a long press of the app you want to export will give you the option to export it as an apk. It will be exported to "/sdcard/AppManager/yourappname.apk".

Titanium Backup
you can download it
Titanium Backup DOES back up apks, they just have them compressed...IIRC, you'll see the appname.apk.gz
You could also use something like ES File Explorer, which has a backup function. Other apps have similar capabilities.

I use the computer side of the 'wan dou jia' export! It is one of China's software.
i was also looking for the same.So i won't need to download the apps everytime after flashing or any other reason.
thanks mate
I gave up and use titanium backup pro

I use appSaver from the PlayStore.
Creats a *.apk on the sd-card .
Been using it since Froyo on my Galaxy S.
A short video tutorial on how to backup apps as apk files.
I am using astro file to backup my apks. It is quite user friendly imo.

A while ago I downloaded an app called poke pal donate. It was a paid app for the Pokemon games where you count effort values. It's been taken off the market now and I have a new phone. My old phone's digitizer is cracked if that makes a difference. How do I get it on my new phone? Thanks and have a good day.
you can try Total Commander for Android (search Google for it).
this allows you to browser apps by name and copy apk files to where you want.

Hi, i'm just wondering how do I move file such as movie file into SD card? I recently rooted my tablet and using cm9 rom. With the stock rom i used the my file(file manager) app, it came with the tablet.
Also anyone knows how to delete core apps? I dont need everything though, just few. My internal memory is only 8gb.
Thanks in advance.

To move files to sd, you need to install a file manager downloaded from google play as astro file manager l, es file manager, antek file manager, root explorer , root browser lite (search google play) use any of them as alternative to ny files app in stock rom
To remove system apps use file explorer as root explorer or root browser lite to remove the apk of unwanted apps from system/data ( please make nandroid backup first !!!) or use app like system cleanup (make a nandroid first)

yes to move files you need a file manager(go for bluetooth file transfer,astro,androzip or root explorer or any other)
and to delete stock bloatware use link2se or rom toolbox or titanium backup and many other option are available...
Thanks, i will be trying several apps and see what works with me. I'll keep you guys posted.

Install ES File Explorer, and go to /system/apps and copy the apk of your choice.

Does anyone have a working My Files apk they could share? I never use the Samsung file manager, but recently wanted to go back to s-note (mainly use repligo) because the pen works better for it. Sadly, Samsung makes you use their file manager instead of a third party like ES, and I deleted My Files already.
I've tried a few other My Files apks from other roms, but never got them working.
Also, s-note does not sync with dropbox, right? I only see Gdrive for cloud storage.

I do appreciate your help. However, I already have found some random My Files apks. The problem is I've had issues getting them to work. I can't simply install from a file manager, or even push to system/app and change permissions. Just don't want to dirty flash...

How do I save an app apk and put it on my computer. Because I want to save the flappy bird apk so I can give it to my friends and keep it for myself
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Ok you can do this in many ways.
If your phone is rooted,then install ~
1]Root Uninstaller from Google Play which automatically backs up all installed applications to sd card. Note that you can also back up applications manually using this app.
2]a file explorer like root explorer or fx file explorer. Then, go to system/sd/apk, where all installed application files would be present. Copy and paste it to sd and backup to pc.
Hit the thanks button if it helped.

Hi,
you can use Share Apps from play store...
Share Apps really share your apps' installation package(APK) with your friends directly.
Share Apps will share you app(include system app) to:
Email,Dropbox,Google Drive,Bluetooth,Facebook etc.
Some other similar types of more apps are available on play store.... plz check...
I think these all work without root...
if you both have rooted devices u may use Titanium backup app to bundle ur app in .zip file & ur friend can use flash it thru recovery / cmw recovery....
