If you mean host files as in preloaded stuff, you can simply download the rom and pull whatever you need from it. Just put it in using es file explorer.

Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.
Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.
Sorry I didn't give you exact commands but this was

Ok, at least I already copied them back to the right folder but nothing changes. So I have to reflash, ok. Thank you for you help.

Reflashing is not necessary... Do you have windows or mac? I'll make you a script so that it will load it on it's own.

Extract is as in get all the .apk and system files? Or extract as in pull the .rfs file out of the .tar file?
I tried mounting the .rfs file in windows and cygwin. No dice.

Simple method to install .APK that PlayStore Won't Let you install.

To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Found Quixar, but sadly its not compatible with the Nexus 7.
Could use the old method to get it working.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

Rooted Stock Rom - Netflix errors

I just purchased netflix. Si far i have used it for the 1st time on Cellular data as well as my home wifi.
Error 0013 "can not reach netflix service"
The weird part of this whole saga is that on Chromecast.
I absolutely do not get an error.
I called netflix and they claim its on issue on the phone itself.
Anybody else having this experience?

Standard Samsung Email APK

Hi,
I have been using a custom ROM that doesn't have any email apps. I actually really liked the default Samsung email app for Marshmallow as it handles my work Exchange account really well.
Could someone kindly post a link to this apk as I cannot seem to find the MM one anywhere

I renamed the apk to SecEmail.apk and placed it in a folder of the same name then copied this folder to the system\priv-app directory and set the permissions but when I reboot I do not see the app.
I figured it out lol, the apk didn't need to go in a folder inside priv-app
Thanks again
