Hello ! Hi ! Today I would like to share a small idea for anyone who wants to migrate applications to the system.
Here is how to: Download an application from the browser. Use the root browser to copy the apk to system / framework and set permissions for it and reboot.
Not applicable to anyone who knows

Hi,
This is my first post so first I'd like to say hello to all of users
I'd like to understand more how apk files are installed on android file system. So there go my questions:
1. After installation (via market for example) apk files are stored somewhere in file system - data/app for example from what i've heard - are those apk only backed up installation packages or actual "executable" and program itself?
2. Where are stored application settings, user preferences etc?
3. Is process of uninstallation always means removing ALL leftover from each application or after some time system gets cluttered with those (I know it is not windows with registry leftovers etc but even in linux from what i know there could be some problems if app won't remove all dependant libraries and file when uninstalling)
Thanks in advance
Dont really know where to put this question.
I cant download any file (even in android market) because I uninstalled ( with root) the preload app called Downloads.
Is a basic app and I couldnt find it on the web. I uninstalled it because I thought it was unnecesary, (ES File Explorer)
So its a noob error. What can I do? I was thinking if anybody can share the APK
thx !
As the title i would known how move an apk to be system app. Could anyone simply explaine me?
Can you tell us why you want an app as system app?
Do you have root?
It's not possible to just move the APK and then assume it's a system app. It needs some special rights (don't know which ones).
For me, I would like to have an (older) app as system app so it can write to the SD card. This app doesn't trigger the question from the file manager to let me give the app the correct rights for the app. I had to manually change permission file .
I wanna make any .apk file (downloaded or extracted) a system's built-in app. So that after performing a factory reset i don't have to install my favorite apps again and again. Tell me in which system directory i should save an apk file e.g whatsapp so that it becomes a built-in system app.
How?
Running Android carbon rom 6.1 (Oreo 8.1.0) rooted
On Sony Xperia Z3 D6603.

I did some research on it and found another manual way instead of magisk module.
System root/data/app
Infact this path belongs to data partition. And data partition belongs to 3rd party apps installation. Here you'll find all self-installed 3rd party apps installation folders.
Now move that specific folder from (System root/data/app) to (System root/system/app) to make it system's built-in app. In Oreo 8.1 system itself will decide every folder's and file's read write permissions. But in earlier versions you'll have to manually set those permissions.

Is there a way to enable/add/install the android file picker?
I discovered this issue when I tried copying or moving pics in Aves Gallery app. It asked me to grant permission to access the destination folder of the copy/move process. But instead of opening the default Android file picker app, it said Android file picker is either disabled or missing.
I tried different gallery apps from play store and this same issue still exists.
How do I fix this?

Install a file manager such as Root Explorer.
You can also install Files by Google.
