Where are apps downloaded - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

i downloaded Grunge Icons from the app store, but want to use them on Carbon Rom's ribbons.
MY questions is this: When i downloaded them, where were they stored? have a good file manager, but search on phone sucks!
thanks,

Are you rooted? If yes then you can find the apk at syatem root data/app folder.

Well, you need the apk so you can decompile to access those images.

You can also extract the rar file and install it like any apk.

it works perfectly!
thx for dat!
yea yea its just easier to extract it then install like any other app!!!!!!!!!!
You don't need to uninstall the orginal Market, just run the apk and it will apply updates
I'm using the new market with an APK I got from Android Police.
I really like your theme, where can I get it?
What theme would that be?

Rename it to Vending.apk, and use adb to push it to /system/app/

Use Root Explorer. Name the old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.bak just in case somemthing goes wrong(Pay attention to permissions). Paste the NEW SystemUI.apk into the System/App folder, set permissions and reboot.

Sure. Use your root file browser to get to the /system directory. Replace the system.ui file that is there with Bigfau's modded version.
Fyi: Next time just post inside the q&a thread that is already open so that the forum is more organized.
Whoops! I'm too slow
A lot of thanks. I'm newbies, noob to android. Thanks.

The status bar should disappear when you rename it. That is normal. After you paste the modded version in the /system directory, the status bar isn't going to come back until you reboot.
If you rebooted already, I would double check that the file is there.
I do it,happy too. Now I'm testing it.
As a further problem,the clock can not I select update,always GMT,the GMT +7 time I need, how to fix this?

Email Application from Motorola Atrix2.

Hello All,
I have Motorola Atrix 2 phone and it came with very useful to me email app,
The best of this app: I can use different fonts and colors, Italic or Bold.
Is there a way I can copy it to my Transformer? Or there is an aplication already
Which can do the same?
Thank you all.

If you can make a backup of your entire system then copy to your computer. Open your back up and extract the email application apk and install on your tf101 to try.

My phone and tablet are rooted, I can copy email apk from system/app to sd card and install it on tablet. This should work, right?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
unless it has requirements from the atrix 2 like blur framework and librarys
edit: it will also have to be deodexed
and you will have to sign it aswell so that it can install. if you cant sign it then paste in system/app of your tablet.

In the past i have been able to recover them without touching anything, but this time it's giving me hell. I think i need to move the files, but not sure where, and of course the dev won't respond.

I simply used root browser to move all the files from my saved gallery lock folder, into the new gallery lock folder that was hiding in sdcard-data- gallerylock. Then i opened the app again and did the recovery again.

Help with making incremental battery work

I have all of the images in the res/drawable-hdpi file like they need to be, what's the next step? I have googled the crap out of this subject and I cannot find an answer that makes sense. I'm sorry if this is obvious but I need help.

And depending in in the rom you might have to edit 2 XML files to add the 1% settings
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk 2
Well I think the names are right. I did hear somewhere that you have to edit the xml, but I'm not sure exactly what needs to be edited. If I can get someone to walk me through this ill definitely make a how-to for future reference.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah if you're trying to mod it for a TW rom you have to edit 2 xml files in res/drawable. They are:
stat_sys_battery.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
You have to change them so they read from 0-100 that way the 100% battery mod actually reads correctly. You'll see right away what needs to be changed. And make sure you have all the png's in the right folder and they are named correctly.
After that recompile and in the folder that was created when you decompiled should be a new folder called Build or something like that, the new apk is in there. Then you have to take the meta-inf folder and androidmanifest.xml from the ORIGINAL apk and copy them into the new one with 7zip or whatever you use. Zipalign and it's ready. Either push it to system/app with ADB or pack it into a flashable zip and have at it.

Some of the apps on my phone can read the xml, but when I swapped them out using ninjamorph it broke my SystemUI. After a reboot my battery Icon is gone completely. I'm guessing I'll still have to decompile and recompile.

I have the images in my res/drawable-hdmi folder already, I just haven't had time to see if I can figure out the 1% increments. If you could help that would save me time? Want a copy of my systemui? If rather you use that opposed to pulling a copy from the stock ROM seeing as I have ask the battery images and my modified 4G LTE icons already in place.
