I recently installed an app from Google Play and when I go to Astro File Manager to back up my apps it's the only one I can't back-up.
There is no check box next to it like all the others, it just says (private).
I have over 120 apps and this is the ONLY one that says this.
Does anyone have any idea why?
Thank you in advance

Thanks for your reply.
I know there is other ways to back up I just think it's weird that is app is 'private'
And wondered what it actually means?

I've a bunch of apps on my PC which are no longer on the market. Is it possible to install these on a rooted sgs? I currently have a g1 which is rooted and enables me to do so but am changing phone in a few days time
You shouldn't need to root it (unless they are cracked/protected apps), there is an option on the phone to allow the install of non-market apps.
From XQ55
+Market_Enabler_v3.0.8.apk
+Paid_Apps_Enabler.apk
Install it using Astro File Manager

this is by far the easiest way
wifi FTW
Easiest solution infact imho is using ES File Explorer from market.
with ES File Explorer you can just install them through wifi lan.
Once you share the folder in your pc, you can always access it through wifi and with one click install, copy etc. anything.
Hi,
I have some applications I want to save, I mean the APK file.
But I find them only on the android market, and doesn't see how to save the .apk file on my disk (for future use for example).
Do you know if the apk file is stored somewhere in the phone ?
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? It makes a difference. If not rooted you can use mybackup from the market to backup the apps. Never tried it and I am guessing it won't backup paid apps and only free versions. But it might.
If your phone is rooted you can find your apps in the data/app/ folder.
Once you have installed the App, look in /cache/download. Most apks will be in there.
You don't need rooted phone to save (backup) apk's. Just use MyPhoneExplorer which has the function to backup all installed programs (apk's) to computer (also backups SMSes, contacts, etc)
D>
yes, the phone is rooted.
I checked with Estrong explorer in the folders data and cache and there's nothing ...
The idea is to keep the apk files somewhere when they are not directly available on the net, only using the android market.
Back them up on titanium backup then when you want them again just restore them using titanium again, you can restore them fresh or with your old settings, hasn't failed me yet

Look in data/app as I said. This is the location of all user installed apks. Unless you are using a ROM that uses a different location. Only familiar with sense builds myself. Or use a program that can backup apps. There were 3 mentioned in this thread.
apk with a manager go to system / app. they should be, and extract and save hello
Data/app or system/app?

Either or, depending on what you're after. Apps you've installed (e.g. from the market) will be in /data/app, system apps (e.g Sense and the apps bundled with it) will be in /system/app.

If the directories/files are not there then check that ES file explorer is configured to show hidden files.

For unrooted devices, using ES File Explorer:
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Press Menu >> Manager >> App Manager
3. Long press the application and then press Backup
4. .apk file will be saved to /sdcard/backups/app/
hello
i rooted and installed ARHD for my galaxy nexus and it came with ES manager.
its a nice free file explorer and it can show system files and such, i granted it super permissions but i still cant delete that one file that lets me boot into CWM from the fastboot menu, so i have to flash CWM using my computer terminal everytime i want to use it.
any other free apps that can do the same thing ?

ES works fine for me... what file are you trying to delete?
And have you mounted system as read/write in ES Settings?
Hi,
I'm also using ES File Explorer with Android 4.0 SDK on emulator. I need to read the event0 file in /dev/input. When I try to open it with ES Note Editor, I get this error: Failed to open the file (java.io.IOException at com.estrongs.android.pop.app.h.run(Unknown source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)). The emulator is rooted, i also tried to enable Root Explorer in ES settings, it failed because this functionality is not supported for my phone? Also the mount file system option in ES settings is disabled.
Can anyone help me? Is the 4.0 platform the problem, should I use an older one? Or is something different the problem?
Thanks.

Just use a root explorer to locate the file and delete.
thanks but I cant find the file, I tried system/app, system/vendor/app, data/app.
this is strange

Apkpure dot com has it.
I have the same problem but the app I'm looking for is 9Now which comes installed on my Sony TV and doesn't need a mouse to control. I want to copy the apk so I can install it on my shield.
I tried Solid explorer but 9Now doesn't show up on it even tho it is on my Home screen and works.
Any suggestions?

It's probably a system app and by default the file manager you're using is not showing system apps. See if there's an option to enable it.
I use X-Plore file manager and it has an "app manager" that lists all installed apps. By default though system apps are turned off, so I have to bring up the context menu and click on "show system apps".
After which I can find any app installed and back up the APK by creating a copy of it.
Solid Explorer shows system apps but it isn't listed amongst them. Will give X-Plore a try.
cheers
UPDATE: Tried X-Plore, Same thing neither 9Now nor ABC iView appear yet both are displayed on the Recommended apps list and work when clicked on. Odd thing is they never work first time, only second time. It's as if both are just shortcuts for a temporary app that it downloads and installs but no sign of either on the TV.
Try installing Shareit
