[Q] How do I move an apk from one rooted phone to another?

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.

Thanks for all the replies. Could someone link me to how to adb?

Simple
Install ES file explorer....open it go to setting -> go to root setting, enable upto root.
close setting. click back -> open data folder -> apps folder
you will find all downloaded apps here....just long press on the app & share it via bluetooth..
simple...

Just install app share on your mobile and share via Bluetooth.

uninstall stock version - reboot then install modded version and all should work ( sometimes maybe you will need to clean google store cache)
---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------
or if you have 3.4 version previously go to phone - applications -> play store uninstall updates ,, rebot then install modded version - just like in any other vendor.apk updates

Playstore update . 3.9.16

Hi all heres the latest google playstore
3.9.16
Download: http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294521859
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything
Thanks androidpolice

Finally! I wonder though.. will it decrease app download amounts? Obviously if people remove it, it wasn't something they liked..

What happens if you have the same Google account on 2 devices and have an app on 1 but not the other and you remove the app from the device that doesn't have the app installed?
What happens if you delete a purchased app? Do you have to pay for it again if you want to re-install it later?

Can't answer the first one, but I just uninstalled a paid app to test for you. When I searched afterwards, it shows up as a purchased app, so I think you'll be good on that front.

I'm on paranoid android 2.2 rom on my Nexus 7, I have gapps ending in "26" installed, which I believe are the gapps from August, and installing this gives me an error message "conflicting signatures".....I don't even have the play store under "downloaded" apps like you would normally find it, but it is under the "all" tab. It was suggested that I rename the apk to "phonesky" and copy it to system/apps, I don't even see "phonesky" anywhere in the files, it's not on my Nexus 7. Can someone please help me out of the know what I can do to get this installed? It's so baffling that a simple apk won't install.
I would appreciate any help at all. Thank You.

[GUIDE] recover universal search

Hello,
This is my first guide. It's not my work but I thought I'd post it here as many people would find it useful. I found it somewhere in the sprint galaxy s3 forums a while back and I keep using it. It has worked on all the roms I have installed so far.
You will need a copy of the Google search apk with universal search. Here's my copy http://db.tt/Chg3ev9i
You will also need the app Root explorer found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=root+explorer+apk I don't know if there is a free version or if file explorer with root access will work. I use Root explorer and it works. Anyways for the guide:
1. Open up root explorer and navigate to /system/app
2. Mount as R/W
3. Copy googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk and paste it somewhere safe as a backup.
4. Delete googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk from /system/app
5.paste the Google search apk from my dropbox into this folder /system/app and set the permissions to RW-R--R-- (if you don't know what it looks like, check the permissions on any other apk in this folder and make it look the same)
6. Remount folder as R/O
7.exit Root explorer app
8. Go to your settings>application manager>all and scroll down to Google search (not the one with the pic of a search bar. The one with the big "G" ) tap it and tap clear data (if this is not an option, don't worry about it)
9. Go back to Settings>application manager>all and scroll to googleservicesframework.apk, tap on it and tap clear data.
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy your universal search

Solve this by long press menu at home screen to force search than hit the accept button at the prompt. Search widget should now work. Or just go to your apps and run search app and hit accept.

Thank you so much for this. Made me so happy to have uni search back. F'n Apple and their stupid lawsuits over stuff they stole.
Thanks again and as always...
GOBEARS!

Universal search was keeping me on the LF2 base. While I may need a good reason to come off of LF2 at least now I know I have the option.

Thank you, thank you!
I had been trying an apk that was posted for use on my GTab 8.9, but it never worked on the S3. I consider the $4 for Root Explorer a small price to pay to get this functionality back where it belongs. Kudos!:good:

You can easily tell local search is in Google Now, just search for an app you have in your app drawer using it. This was for ICS when Samsung removed local search.

[MOD] [WIP] DBooster for Sprint Note 4 (Beta 4.1 - 1/31)

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for you and decisions thereafter, and so on (you all know this), I'm not responsible, etc. This is BETA testing for the DBooster for Sprint Note 4 (may or may not work right yet). ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP before anything.
POWER TO THE USER, UNLEASH THE PHONE FROM CARRIER BONDS
Hello all, thread is and will be the DBooster for Sprint variant once up and running, so I'm making a thread once out of beta and ready for flashing. I will allow any and all to beta test (in a non-flashable file, ONLY EXPERIENCED SHOULD ATTEMPT... for now) I will continue to develop for this as I receive feedback from testers and (hopefully) have this finished within few days.​
Directions for Quicktile DBooster:
1. Open up SQLite Editor
2. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select
3. Click settings.db

6. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok
7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
8. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "NetworkBooster" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry)
----> ex. Wifi;MobileData;WifiHotspot;Sound; ....
9. Once you add "NetworkBooster", click save button.
10. Close SQLite editor and reboot/profit

Don't quote me exact on this since I don't have phone (was asked to do this). I believe you paste jar in system/ by itself (not final location but will save from possible random reboot, important step). Navigate to system/framework folder, .bak file the sprint services.jar/odex (if there). Then go cut/paste Mod services from /system/ to framework/ folder (DO NOT DELETE sprint services in case obviously). Add quicktile for easier access to turn on (in OP). Reboot and see.

Ok its there how do i add a tile

Some ROMs may have it, I'm not sure. I'm posting for sprint stock Rom and variants of it if not included basically since I was asked by a member with note 4 for this favor. I'll continue working on it to make it better if users report issues.

I noticed i already have NetworkBooster in the app panel active but this is as far as it gets. Nothing happens when i try a large file.
