How to Get the Original apk File from Downloaded/System Applications. (ROOT Required)
Today, I will tell you how to pulled out or get the original apk from Downloaded/System Applications.
We many times backup all our applications to use it in future.But you will experiences that many backedup applications (Like many themes,wallpapers etc) can not be installed because of few reasons.
So if you have the original apk...even of the System apps...then you don't have to worry about anything and also you can share it with your friends.
Here are the steps:-
1. Download Root Explorer or any
other file explorer with root access.
(Get any free one
like Astro or ES,they
are both literally
awesome)
[IT WILL BE BETTER TO USE ROOT EXPLORER]
2. TO GET THE ORIGINAL APK OF DOWNLOADED APPS--
Open Root Explorer and go to
/data/app (Means first open "data" folder then "app" folder.)
Here you will see all your downloaded files.
Just copy those and paste it anywhere in to your SD card.
Note:--
Do not Cut it.
Cutting and pasting them will
lead to uninstallation.
3. TO GET ORIGINAL APK OF SYSTEM APPS--
Open Root Explorer then Go to /system/app (Means first open "System" folder then "app",
Here you will see all your system apps.
copy whatever you want to and paste those anywhere in your sd
card.
Note:--
Don't cut Apps from here,as it might lend you unable to boot up
the next time you reboot your
phone,that's why taking a nandroid
backup is recommended
before doing anything with root
power.
That's it.Now you have the original apk.
