I wanted to know that how can we extract an apk from an installed app.?? :what:
apk = app
Did you mean you want the original 'installer' ?
- Back up the app using 'app backup restore', download it from the play store.
Did you mean you want to extract the app(apk) for editing purpose ?
- Use APK Manager or APK Edit
Free app called astro file manager
Use it to backup all installed apps
A folder called backups will be created and here you go all the apk's you want
Easy as waking up in the morning
Just kidding, much easier

Where can i get these apps I know the apex 8.1 rom uses them but im trying another rom and id like to have these two apps. I backed them up with titanium but i guess its not working because it wont let me restore them.
It is probably a system app. What you can do is open up the zip file for the old rom, find the app you want, and drop it in system/app using root explorer.

Use Titanium Backup to get the apk + data of the installed app , or use Roote Explorer (or any other root file manager) and manually pull them (apk is in data/app and data in data/data)
you can backup apps
but if you are thinking of pirating apps then you should not do it
else you can backup apps even without root with the help of es file explorer
hi guys today i'm here to show you the easyest way to theme your apk without using a pc.
I'm doing this because i don't have my pc now and i'm a little bit bored xD
prerequisites:
-rooted device
-root explorer
-zipsigner (free on play store)
ok LET'S GO!!
1) go to the desired apk and rename it from "apkname.apk" to "apkname.apk.zip" using root explorer (apkname is the name of your application e.g. whatsapp.apk->whatsapp.apk.zip)
2) extract zip using root explorer and you will get a folder with the extracted files inside.
3) go to the extracted folder and change the pics you want
4) be sure to rename the pics with the original name (if i want to change an apk's image called app_logo.png i will have to pick an image and copy it to the extracted folder in res/drawable folder,once here i have to paste the image and rename it into app_logo.png)
5) once you finished replacing the images go back until you see a folder called meta-inf,res,lib,assets etc etc... and press menu button,select all the items and zip all the files,rename the zip into apkname.apk
6) navigate to sdcard/speedsoftware/zip and you will see your zipped file,now rename it from apkname.apk.zip to apkname.apk
7)try to install your modded apk, if it doesn't install open zipsigner and as input file select your modded apk,as output file re-select your modded apk (rename it into signedapkname.apk if you want) then tap on the box to the bottom called "sign the file"
8) once signed install your modded apk using any file manager
ENJOY!
press thanks if i helped you
hope in theme section there will be a lot of modded apks with new ui

You mean "resources.arsc" ...
This file contains pre-compiled resources, such as binary XML(values, layouts and dimens... etc) for example,
and to edit this file you must decompile the apk using apktool.jar via PC only (can't be dicompiled/compiled via phone environment)

nope, that way you can only replace png's, to edit rgb values (stored in colors.xml) you still have to decompile it with apktool...

The uninstalling is a known CM 10.1 bug. To prevent this, simply don't move apps to SD. And suppose it happens that a reboot removes these apps, go to data/app and remove any .odex files OF THAT PARTICULAR APP you find there. The app should install normally again. The odex file will have almost the same name of the apk of the app uninstalled, like com.imangi.templerun........
Another simple workaround is to simply rename the apk of the app you want to install to any name without spaces and keep it in your sd card. When you reboot and the app disappears, don't install it like a normal app, just use root explorer to copy the apk to data/app. The no space error will not show. Try it

Its a bug. no one knows why it happens. No one knows a solution. Put the apps on phone memory. Thats the only solution.

Just move everything to phone memory. In case it gets uninstalled after a reboot and you can't install it again, just copy the apk to data/app to get it installed. It's a bug, until it can be solved, use this workaround.

I'm not sure what's causing this. Try using another file explorer, the jrummy one is good.
Hi.. Usually when you hold on an app in TB (Pro) u have an option to convert a user app to a system app or vise versa. I dont have an option to convert a system app to a user app. I want to make Google Maps a user app so i can greenify it. Is there any way to do this?
Delete it via titanium, then install from google play
Thanks dude

also using any file explorer you can go into system/app, cut the apk, move it to storage and install by cliking on it
