Hi
Downloaded all my google apps from play store when I got my new MX & all fine. But there is no 'people' app ( contacts ). Cant find it in the play store either. Anyone found a way round this ?
I know its possible to get an 'apk' but I am told you need to root the device so you can copy the file into the android system folder. My phone isnt rooted.

Ive downloaded 1000's of apps and games for Android. Ive copied a few to my SD card but I cant seem to get to them when booted up in Android. Any one know how this can be done e.g. a short cut? Or is this not possible due to the market place activation?
Sorry if this has been answered before but i cant find it...
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Use DroidExplorer to install them, and make sure that "unknown sources" in application settings is selected.
I have found Dropbox is the easiest way to install apk files.
I have completely replaced, Astro, AndroZip, and Installer with.... Open Explorer. It does everything all 3 do, plus it enables bowser downloads without causing issues with Gmail attachments.
Great program.

I use ES File Explorer v1.6.2.5 and hate the newer versions. It really bugs me to turn auto update off in the Play Store just for this one app that I don't want to update. I've tried the remove from market option in Titainium Backup and others but it keeps coming back after a cache clean or reboot. I've read if you change the signature inside the app this word work but after trying 4 differnet programs I can't seem to get one to work. Is there another way to do do this or perhaps some kind soul could resign the app for me? TIA for any and all help.
Uninstall the app from the play store. Install app using the apk file. Because it wasn't installed from the play store, it should never update as the playstore doesn't know about it.

Try uninstalling 1mobile and see if your downloads work properly again. You may have to contact 1mobile and ask them why it is doing this.
Most likely 1Mobile Market
I had this issue from day 1 with both Nexus 4 running CM10.1 and Nexus 10 running stock 4.4.
Had to uninstall it, as it did not seem to be related to any `default apps` settings, not was there any way to change this behavior through app settings or App Ops permission restriction.
Uninstalling resolved the issue.
Hello I am new there, I've bought an s4 i9515 value edition running stock 5.0.1
I already rooted using king root and immediately freezed Google play services cause I do not use or need it. The problem is that play store does not open without play services activated. So I deleted play store with king root from system in attempt to install latest version in hope to run without Pservices. Right when I tap to install a downloaded play store it shows that the store I deleted is still there so I have the option to upgrade. Right now I can open the store but I cannot download anything cause it stops working.
Is there any way to delete the stock store entirely from the system? I have used an root explorer and play store is not found on system/apps. Can any of you please give me a solution to be able to reistall a proper functioning play store? Thank you. (I intend also to be able to use any store without having to activate play services which drains battery power.)
You can't use the play store without the play services. So you can scrap that idea right away.
On my previous android 4.2.1 phone i was able to use play store with play services disabled and i have not even updated the services. Anyway i think i will keep 1mobile store as default so i deleted any google service from stock system. Anyway i have not even installed gapps on actual rom. Screw these 'services'.

Hello,
I search everywhere in the phone memory via an explorer to find the folder or go the applications installed via the Google store or other sources but impossible to find the folder..
Could someone tell me where to find this data? I would like to avoid applications like "apk extractor" because I do not trust
This is mainly to keep backups in case of unwanted update or to add mods (only for my personal use of course, no illegal usage)
Thank you in advance, I hope it is possible on this phone, I was doing very well on my other devices Android ..

Assistant for Android (by AA Mobile) in Play Store. With this you can backup and restore your apk's.

Thank you but that's not what I'm looking..
There are many applications that allow it but I'm looking for the root folder
