Any suggestion? Thanks

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

Installing non market apps

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.

Android Market ... WTF?

Hey guys,
This is my first time using an Android device so I am not experienced with the Android Market but this seems messed up.
I am using the Android Market on a rooted Kindle Fire. When I try to download any app (free or otherwise), it shows at 'Downloading'. The app will not actually download until I go online with my PC to the Android Market and choose to download the same app. Once that happens, the app shows up on my Kindle Fire.
Is this normal or is there some sort of setting that I need to tweak? Thanks
Also .. is there any way to make the Android Market the default market rather than the Amazon market?
For example, when I go to install a Dolphin HD plugin, it looks for it in the Amazon Kindle Market which doesn't work because I'm in Canada.
Use a different market app. Vending.apk gave me same problem, com.amarket.apk didnt.
Should say version 3.3.1.1 I believe.
And no,c ant changed default market yet.

Where can I find a copy of com.amarket.apk? I have searched but I would like to be able to use the latest version from a trusted source. Thanks

Thanks but there's a slight problem. When I try to side load the apk, it won't install. Tried uninstalling the original market app but the option is grayed out.

You cannot directly side-load the market apk because it will go to Data/App and not System/App. Go to the the Tools > Applications setting on your KF and then select 'Show All Applications'. Go to Market and click clear data. See if you can deinstall. If not, You'll need to use Root Explorer (or similar), delete the old apk from Data/App. Using Root Explorer, copy the market 3.3.1.1 apk from your SDCARD location and then navigate to System/App. Set the mount to R/W. Paste the 3.3.1.1 apk to the system/app folder. Long press on the newly pasted market apk and change permissions to match other system/app or just give it all permissions for now. Reboot the Kindle and you should be fine.

I followed someones ( sorry don't recall who to give credit to) advise on this. Using root explorer, navigate to /system/app and add .bak to the MarketIntentProxy.apk worked to automatically take market links to market instead of amazon appstore.

What's a private app?

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?

[Q] Copying an app?

I've an app on my Tab S that I downloaded from the Google Play store and want to have it on my other Tablet, however the app is no longer available on the Play Store. So is there a way to copy the app that's on my Tab S and load it onto my other Tablet?
Thanks

Pretty sure you will need root for that.
The .apk file should be in \data\app or possibly \system\app

I though you could make a back up with samsung-Kies and then pick the apk from the back up dir on your pc.
Thats what I did in the past and I'm not rooted.
Maybe I'm wrong but I see a lot of apk files in the back up dir.

That might work, I've never used Kies so I can't be sure. But all you need is the APK file, so if you can find it on your local PC then your good.

Just back it up with es file manager, zip it and send it via bluetooth..thats it
AnyShare from Lenovo (Link) is a nifty tool to send files from device to device. Have not tried it without root before maybe it works. You can send those app's apk that's already installed to another device.
All user installed apps are in \data\app and you don't need root to copy them out, just a file browser than can navigate to the folder. Some apps that are taken off the Play Store sometimes still appear in the All tab of the My Apps section so have a look there just in case.

Default file location for apps or apk on firestick?

I would like to use rom collection browser with an emulator installed on my firestick using ABDfire but can't find where the emulator is stored on my fire stick in my file manager? Where do apps get stored using ABDfire? Is there a default location?

Erm I think most stuff gets stored in Android/data (most emulators data just sits in the main part of your storage anyway at Sd card0/ ) & to be honest I do not believe that you can use an emulator with a fire stick, 1. you have no usb, 2. That means no controller & 3. & you cant use an emulator with a amazon remote (well saying that I did test M.A.M.E with one & configured the remote with it turned on it's side & played Streetfighter 2 but that was on the AFTV2 main unit & not the stick version), if you want emulators get the AFTV2 it's on sale at the moment for £65!
Hope this helps If sof press that thanks button
I have the emulator working on the firestick and I'm using an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller that also works however , I would like to access the emulator using rom collection browser in kodi but was having trouble finding the file location. I've looked in the file manager and also es explorer but it doesn't show the apps in the folder you suggested?

Most recent AFTV APK just updated a few days ago would love to see someone get this working on a NP or Shied or any Android TV
Hi all,
Similar issue, different app. I can't find the data location for apps installed through the app store on the fire stick. Netflix, emby, etc don't show up in the normal location.
I'm special looking for the location that the Smart IPTV app saves it's playlist info. Any help appreciated!!
