Hello Friends . I'm here to give a small guide to Save your apk files from Google Play Store
I Hope , this thread is important for you
Method 1 :-
1.Install OI File Explorer from Google Play Store
2.Install SaveAPK from Google Play Store
3.Run SaveAPK and select the application(apk) you want to save, then select the directory to store the apk (on SD card)
Downloads:-
OI File Explorer :- Click Here !!
SaveAPK :- Click Here !!
By the way ... you can also use your favorite file manager
Method 2 :-
1.Install Astro File Manager from Google Play Store
2.Start Astro File Manager then select Application Backup, backup the applications and the apk files will be store in backups/ directory on SD card.
Download Links :-

In this line of thought you can also use Titanium Backup, the catch is that it needs root.

But it's working for me

S5 Working apps on Grand 2 Kitkat !!!

these apps are work 100% (I've only tried on G8 XXV firmware) :
1.Dialer (After install the Contact, it automatically turn into s5 skin , I guest )
2.Contact
3.Music
4.File manager
5.S voice
6.Launcher (My favorite app :victory but can't change the wallpaper in the launcher ( just open the gallery and change )
And gotta be update more
Instruction :
1 Go to this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/themes-apps/ultimate-s5-mod-one-stop-s5-mod-t2846377 and download the link of the zip ( just copy and paste ).
2. Extract the zip and copy the "app" and "priv-app" into any file in your Grand 2.
3.Install any kind of root file manager (I recommend the Root explorer , it's easy to use )
TO INSTALL THESE APPS, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION BELOW, ALL OFF THESE APP MUST SET THE PERMISSIONS TO WORK :
1. For the Dialer and Contact, open the Root explorer, safely backup your "SecContact_Osup.apk (and .odex)" and the " SecContactProvider.apk (and .odex)" . This is my way : copy those file to another file. After that, delete all of those file. Then copy the "SecContact.apk" and the "SecContactProvider.apk" in the zip to your "priv-app" file. After reboot, you'll have both the Dialer and Contact with S5 theme
2.For the Music app, do the same thing to backup the "MusicCommonUtility.apk ( and .odex too)" , "MusicLiveShare2.apk" (and odex) and the "MusicPlayerWT.apk" ( and odex). Then delete all of those and copy only the "SamsungMusic_20.apk" to the "app" file. Reboot
3.Just do the same thing for the File manager ( bakup the apk and odex then delete it and copy the app in the zip).
4. For the S voice, backup the apk, delete it, download the apk below, then copy to the "app" file and reboot.
5. Backup the and and odex of the "SecLauncher3", delete it, copy "TouchwizHome.apk" into "priv-app" and reboot. For themechooser, install the "ThemeChooser.apk" as a normal apk.
To have theme, go to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711245
If have any bugs, just let me know.
If it work for you, hit the "thanks" button

I'm gonna post the "TouchwizHome", "ThemeChooser", "S Voice" later, just install the other apps
