Cant see apps in data folder. - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I want to transfer a gamesave file to a game on my firestick 4k.
The last time I did this, the folder was located in the android/data folder.
Now when I look in there, its just the stock amazon apps folders i can see.
I cannot find the app folders for any of the apps I have installed anywhere, yet I know they are there.
The only place I haven't looked is root because I don't have access, but sideloaded apps wouldn't be in root surely?
What am I missing here?
Thanks for reading.

How to get apk files

Found this cool trick out today so wanted to share with all. Ok go into market and download the file manager Astro. Open up astro, hit menu, application manager, check all apps installed and hit backup. When your finished mount sd card then look for backups folder. Open it up and inside are all the .apk files for everything you have on your phone. You can now get apk's for almost anything as long as you install it and run the above steps.
...and as long as it's not Pac-Man....or the paid apps, when they start coming out.
Haha yeah i figured you already knew about this. I'm trying every app and game i can to see what wont work. Now i can scratch pacman off my try out list.

Astro can't backup pacman because its a .zip file and not a .apk, if you have JF's rc30 you can still get by busybox coping it to your sdcard, its in /data/app. As for pay apps they are probably encypted
We've been through this. I was joking with 555 up there
Noob here,
how can you locate or transfer a apk files? where are they exactly saved?
using a Huawei u8860 phone.
Thanks

you can install your APK files (like the Play Store) by going to the Amazon Market first and downloading a File Explorer App such as ES File Explorer or any type of File Manager app, locating the APK through that program, and then clicking on it to install

[Q] Uninstall Google Play from Rooted Kindle Fire HD

Anyone know how to uninstall the google play store from rooted Kindle Fire HD?
I click on the app in the app drawer of KFHD, it seems like its hidden in the system folder and I am not sure what to remove from the system folder.
I want to uninstall it as it seems that the play store cannot detect my location and it only shows limited amount of apps (probably because it couldnt detect my location)
Titanium Backup is probably the easiest way to do it. You can download it from the Play store, but if it's one of the apps that aren't showing up for you, then you can find it on their main website too (you can download the APK there). I'd link you, but I haven't reached 10 posts yet. It should be the first result if you google Titanium Backup. If you want to get rid of it and everything associated with it, I believe you need to remove Vending.apk, Gplay#.#.##.apk (or Play), and GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

Pretty much spot on. But I just want to add that you'll also have to delete the dalvik cache before it completely goes away.

use a file explorer like es explorer go to settings give it superuser permissions go to the folder you saved it in and delete it
Your all wrong. Listen to how i did it.
So all u need is to use es file explorer. So u want to go into /system/apps and delete any previously installed google play stuff. Then go and find com.android.vendor.... I dont remember which folder this was in. Delete the file com.android.vendor... now ur finished... im thirteen and i am great at things that use roots:good:

Apk Location?

Where on the Tab S2 does Google Play store any apps you have downloaded?
Thanks

They're stored in /data/app.
But, from memory, you'll need to be rooted and use a file manager that has root access to view them.
If you wanted to back them up, it's probably easiest to use 3rd party software like:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android_telefonie.appmanager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard
etc
I am rooted and have a file manager but cannot see anything under /data/app
What I want to do is copy it and install it on another's tablet because it's no longer available from the Play store.
Could you use ES File Explorer's built in APK backup? ROM Toolbox has the same functionality as well. I've used both methods in the past.

'Dianxin' Folder...

Hey folks.
First time with the HTC One M7.
HTCDev-unlocked, TWRP installed and Rooted, HBOOT 1.61, and I've installed AICP 05/11/2017
I have now noticed a folder on the internal storage called 'Dianxin' - this is the tree:
\Internal shared storage\dianxin\notify\.cache\846b\network
Inside are two files:
- cd1406cc85bfbea412b36cd44cc43eda.0
- journal
Before I start loading contacts and other personal info, can someone tell me what this is and if I can get rid of it?
Thanks,
Stuart.
Most probably from one of your installed app.
ES file explorer maybe ?

Possible malware. DO NOT LOAD ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN YOUR PHONE, SCAN YOUR PHONE WITH ANTI-VIRUS FOR VIRUSES.
Hey folks, thanks for the replies.
ES File Explorer has not been installed. The ROM (AICP) is LineageOS-based, which in tun was based on CM.
All of the apps I have installed are what I usually use, and have not previously given me this folder.
The only new software is the ROM itself.
Is it possible to lock the folder and contents? Something only I can change rather than any apps?
If you read link given by @JIMSHERIKO above, not only ES gives you this, also some other apps especially from Cheetah Mobile & Chinese based app developers.
If you delete, rename the folder, a new one will be re created upon reboot. The best is uninstall app that related to this if you're concern with security. Sometimes you'll see "baidu" folder, same case as "dianxin"
I have a One S with the same apps installed. There is no Baidu or Dianxin folder on it.
The only different software is the ROM.
Any idea what the Dianxin folder actually exists for?
Does any one know?
And does anyone know how I could find out what app created the folder? Apart from uninstalling all the apps then reinstalling one-by-one...

I suggest switching over to the Maximus HD Eye Rom!!!
It could be some Chinese app, I don't personally know.
You could get a Root uninstaller and see what's unusual in the system apps. But it could also be a user app.
Just change Roms if you are in doubt.
Well, an update - I disabled the AICP Stats collection option in AICP Extras and then deleted the folder and rebooted.
So far, no reappearance of the folder.
