Yes thats right, but only for devices, which supported by that app. I need the apk file to test something and the only supported device I have is the Galaxy Note 10.1 but it´s not rooted, so I cannot extract the apk file from system folder.
Thats the reason why I ask, whether somebody can provide the apk file.
I don't think you are gonna get it as that would be distributing warez... Peel is licenced for the note 10.1 and that only... You might be able to purchase it from the App store but I wouldn't hold my breath....
Download ES File Explorer from the Play store. When you run it hit the APP MANAGER icon. Long press on the app and choose BACKUP. It will create an .apk file. Watch the screen closely and it will tell you where it created it. I believe it's /sdcard/backup/apps.
Thank you, that's working for me.

Also, App Backup from play store, its free. In app settings, choose 'show system apps' and it can backup any apk you need to any location.

i no dis isnt the right place but like we download apk's and install them on our phone, is there a way to install ipad apps like that?
thnx
first of all, ipad doesnt use apks...
apk is the android package format...
Check this out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APK_(file_format)
And yeah, you can install apps from other than the app store, but sadly it's illegal and requires jailbreaking.

As a new Android user with the samsung I have just downloaded and paid for my first App from the Play Store.
How do I back it up in case I need to restore it in the future?
Where is the app stored? I downloaded Sketchbook Pro but when I look in the folder that has been created there are no files!
Uset Titanium Backup for data. Play remembers that you purchased The app, so it probably even restores itself if you eg reset your device.

No need to backup, really. Play Store will have it for you when you reset your device so you can install it again and on as many devices as you want as long as they use your email address.
If you are root. go to /system/ app/ this is where they usually are . Some apps use your personal media space to share data.. like in .. /sdcard/android/???? somtimes this is a folder called obb.. Sometimes the /sdcard could be / data/ sorry i do not yet have this tablet but looking forword to getting it . As soon as i get my refund for the two nexus 7 defective devices i sent back..
What about apps like Plague inc. which have in app purchases?

As long as you purchase from Google play and use the same email account, Google will remember the in-app purchases too. I purchased an app that had an in-app option which i also bought, installed the same app on two devices i.e.tablet and phone and had no issues including the in-app aspect.
App backup and restore works fine for me, just backing up the app but not the data.
Aside from the fact that your purchases are tied to your Google account as they said, you can use AirDroid (which is really really handy) to pull APK files from your device and make back-up copies on your PC. Just don't, you know, distribute them.

I use ES Taskmanager and ES Exlorer to backup and access my apps. It allows you to select where you want to save your backups and it gets all the apps I have tried including purchased apps like Sketchbook Pro. Then I like to copy the backed up apps and store them elsewhere for safe keeping in case for some reason that app gets dropped from where I got it or it is replaced with a version I don't like. BTW you don't need to know where the app is ES Taskmanager will find them. Note some apps when you find where they are they are listed with odd names like "vnz-1111881564.apk" for Kindle reader so knowing where they are does not really help all the time but ES Taskmanager shows the name you will recognize.
My dad has an old MLB app but its not on the play store anymore. This was a FREE app so I'm not trying to steal. Usually with rooted I'd just go into root explorer and copy the .apk. But obviously I can't do that on a rooted phone.

I dont remember if its free or not, but there is an app called, "app control"
You open app control, find the app and long press on it. You can use this to back up the app to gmail, and send it to your self.
thank your for your response. I found out ES File Explorer works as well.

If it's a 4.0+ device you can use Carbon to backup the app and data. This app does not require root access.

Just out of curiosity, why are you looking for an old mlb app? Why not just use This one?

It was MLB Scoreboard. Provides highlight videos for the games.
I bought Next Launcher 3D from Play Store and for some reason I can't find the .apk file. All my other Play Store downloaded files are in /data/app except for the launcher. Even Next Launcher addon files like wallpapers, notification, and themes are in /data/app. Is it possible that Next developers delete the .apk file after it installs or move it to another directory? I just find it strange. The reason I'm looking for it is because I wanted to place it in the system directory. Anyone else know where it might be? Currently using Galaxy S3 Android version 4.1.2.

They most probably have done that or hard coded like that because of piracy issues. So I'm not sure whether you can use it as a system app.
Have you tried making a search for Nextlauncher3D.apk with a file manager?

Yea I figured it out. I didn't know there are "protected apps". I was able to find it in the /data/app-asec directory. It's com.gtp.nextlauncher-2.asec. All of my other protected apps have an apk file but Next Launcher. Even though I paid 15 bucks for it now I'm gonna have to find it somewhere in apk form.

Next Launcher has a Facebook and they upload Beta versions of their launcher, and depending on the version sometimes they're not protected against piracy so maybe you could try those? Also you could just ask them on Facebook, they're really good developers when it comes to replying to the community.

I am rooted and familiar somewhat with TB . I have a hide my text app from the market which works well and even hides the icon, but it still shows up under the market as installed. I tried destroying market link but no luck.
Anyone know what I can do here?

Try uninstalling it via the Play Store instead of doing it directly via the phone.

I don't really understand exactly what you're trying to do, but what I think you're saying is that even though you've uninstalled the app it's still showing that you have installed it in the past, so you want to remove your history of having installed it?
Try going to the Play Store, then click the upper left icon to bring up the side view, then go to 'My apps.' Once there to to the 'all' tab and search for the app you want removed from your installation history and press the x on the right side.
Thanks guys... But sorry I wasn't clear. I want to keep the app, it was free, but not have it show up on the play store as being installed

I think I did what you said in your original post. If you go into Titanium Backup and then click on the app you want to hide, then go to the special features tab, then under "play store/market" click detach from market. The first time I tried it it actually didn't work... So I tried rebooting the phone and it still showed up, however, after going back to Titanium backup and toggling between attach and detaching from the play store/market it seemed to work. Try messing around with it a little more and see if it works.
EDIT: My mistake, it still is showing up in the all tab of google play, but not the installed tab... I'll keep messing with it.
Alright, guys (@Jaeryl, @Josh McGrath), here's my recommendation.
Instead of using Titanium, try copying the actual .apk of the text editor app from /data/app to the external sdcard. Then, go into Google Play on your PC and completely delete that text editing app. Refresh your device so that the app is also removed from there.
All you have to do now is go back to where you copied the .apk, install it, and voilá - your app is effectively eliminated from the Play Store, but is also still installed, just like you wanted.

I was actually about to suggest this... if you can't figure out how to do is you can always uninstall the app then just download an apk of the app online. I read that if you install it as an apk it won't be associated with the play store and thus won't show up.

That's exactly right.
See, Google Play can't and doesn't detect every app on your system, just the ones that came from the store itself that are being synced to all your devices. Think about it this way - a Nook Touch device uses the Barnes and Noble bookstore, and when you buy a book from the bookstore, B&N remembers it anr syncs it to all of the devices hooked up to your account.
However, if you download a PDF or ePub book from the Internet and sideload it onto your Nook, B&N doesn't know or care about it - all they care about is the products you purchase from them. And this means that that sideloaded book will not appear on your B&N account, nor will it be synced to your other devices.
Hopefully that little analogy helps you understand it a bit better.

From Google Play store, tap and hold on the app you seeing as installed, you will see remove or delete option there. Remove it, so you would never see that app again in installed list.
