Hi all,
I hope this is the right area to ask this question but does anyone know where I can get the old version of apk's. I guess I'm looking for something like oldapps.com or oldversion.com but for apk's.
The reason is that a few of my favourite apps have been updated and the newer version isn't necessarily better.
Very recently I've found an app ('android assistant' but I'm sure there's more) which will backup the apk to the sd card which will help for the future if this happens again.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nial.
Many file sharing sites have older versions. Just google "download app_name.apk" and you should get a long list of available versions.

Firstly appologies if this is in the wrong place, i was torn between android forum and X10 forum, but the questions are generally about market and android OS, so posted it here.
How does the market determine your location? I was wondering if this was done by your physical/3G/GPS location or if it was done by rom version? the reason being is I finally ditched o2-uk's crappy "unknown" rollout schedules which I remember with the X1 as being non-existent and debranded my X10. The file I debranded it with was titled Generic UK so i fullishly went ahead with it, however now, several of my previously installed apps, whilst showing up fine on appbrain, do not appear in the market.
Is there any way to determine for sure which version of my firmware I am running, whether it is Generic UK or actually something else?
Thanks for any help, and again, appologies if this is in the wrong forum.

build.prop
sorry, i should have mentioned im an absolute android newb, and that means nothing to me
There is a file on your phone that is /system/build.prop
There are many things controlled here that identify your phone in different ways to the network and internal android applications including the market. You will need to search documentation for your area and how your build.prop needs to be modified for your network or try to get the build.prop out of the stock rom and have a look at what the differences are.
I'm in Canada so I don't know what settings you should use. Have a search on Google for build.prop and you may become an expert fairly quick
If you need anything else just keep asking. Ill monitor this thread and help if I can. I'm still fairly new myself

Brilliant! thanks for the in-depth advice on build.prop. I've found the file and coppied it over to my SD card ready to view, however typically a google for "build.prop" "Generic UK" gives me one result..... this thread!! lol
Anyhow, I will do some more research and see if I can find the standard properties expected for my build.prop
Hope all this worked out for you.
I have noticed no activity in a while here so I will discontinue monitoring it unless you need something more in the next 2 days.
build.prop galaxy tab 10.1 canada
can you please put Build.prop here so we can download it? 313mb so to huge for a single file.

And for editing you need "root permission"

It also uses the location of your connection. At least, that's what they've told me before... My sister in law has a different market when she's in Miami. Different apps to acces. Here in holland, she has the same apps as I do. But, with a motorola droid from verizon.

Why would anyone on xda not have root lol
I used their app generator to create a simple good looking RSS reader for my website. Unfortunately the latest update keep crashing on MS tester so they couldn't let me pass the certification process.
So I would like to ask for the older version(1.1) before mango update if you could provide me the XAP file that would be great. I believe that it can be modified from xap if I'm not wrong
I tried to find the way to extract it out of my phone but so far no luck or if someone that can extract the app out of the phone then could anyone please help me with this I know that "Winrumors" and "Economist Reader" app still use the old version of followmyfeed
Thank you
Update : I managed to get the older version unfortunately I couldn't just modify the app and re-deploy
Thanks for reading anyway
Hello friends
i was just wondering if someone has the files that motorola installed on our xoom cause i forgot to backup them (files,motoprint,citrix...) please i need them especially that file app
thanks guys
I took a backup of the office programme (can't remember the name now - Quickoffce?), but it wouldn't restore with titanium to EOS nightly, so I'm sure you'll need more than juat the apk for those specific apps.
Edit: Citrix can be got from the market (but I'm not allowed to post a link!)
for me i just need the files apk cz it organized me very well
Sorry for the late reply
I don't suppose you found the apk for the files app in the end?
Hello fellow people!
I'm looking to install the latest system apks on my s7 edge, latest firmware. I found the latest working version of the always on display on this forum, but am looking for the other apps too. Could anyone provide a link to the relevant apps, or a list of the working versions? Thanks!
(you know, like S8/S9 apps?)

That's my question basically.... I REALLY want a newer android than Lollipop (the highest android mod I found here). Is there? I found this webpage https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/samsung-galaxy-young-gt-s6310-royss/ that says it's possible, but they don't have the ROM available, so I'm skeptical. I really want a ROM like that to exist because I want to move back to my old phone, as I'm addicted to my current one, but I still want to be able to use WhatsApp and Google Maps.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

The newest android version u can install is 4.4.4 kitkat, the lollipop download links are broken but i think there is a mirror avalible, tweakdroid is the fakest android rom site ever, they say u can install it (which u cant since of it low storage and ram amount) and they dont even give a download link.
This is so fake that when you copy the download link it shows
