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

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....

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.

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.

thanks mate

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.

Hello guys,
I need help regarding how to access save files (or app files) for a non-rooted android device.
My questions are:
1. How do I get backup of an app (e.g. a save file for a game)
2. Is there any way to get locate the application installation folder and get the backup manually?
3. For a game can I get the backup of my game progression and then restore it later on same or any new device?
I need all your thoughts n suggestions for above questions
Thanks
Don't know bout that buddy

Hi guys! So I just wanted to ask If I can move these Apps (without any problems) from system to user apps?..
. Google Camera + Gallery
. Gmail
. Google Maps
. Google Play Services
. Google Play Store
. Google Search
. Google Text to Speech Engine
. Hangouts
. Youtube
. SuperSU
Thanks for your attention!
Yes I believe you can. Go on play store and download an app called root app delete. You can do many other things like uninstall system apps. Change names, icons, etc.
Even if something goes wrong, it is very easy to push the apk back to /system, fix permissions and reboot, so go ahead!

Camera and Gallery should be in system/app

There is this spreadsheet and other sources around the forum, but I would use a Custom ROM like Darthstalker 7 which already has bloatware removed.

Can you explain me how to fix them please? =(
Just copy the apk back to /system/app and then change their permissions to match the permissions of the other apps (I can't remember what the exact permissions are) and reboot and the app will be back in system and should work fine.

How ??
If you use a root file manager there will be an option to change the permission of a file that you select. Just press and hold the file and select change permission. I use es file explorer for example.
