Posted By: Bishnu On Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Almost every Android user are familiar with "Android Market" and also
with the download process of the android applications from it. The
applications downloaded from there are directly installed so you can't
find backup copy on your sd-card. And most of the users want to keep
backup of what they had downloaded so as to use on future. But the
default file manager not even allows you to take a look at the phones'
internal memory blocking you to see where the installed apps are
stored. Some third party file managers allow you to browse the folder
but block you to copy directly from there. So how to backup those
installed application?
If the last sentence of above paragraph is your voice, then here is
the solution.

- Download one more application from "Android Market" called
"AndroZip". It is in fact file compression utility but it can also
serve as backup taking application.
- Install it and run it on your Android device.
- Drag the title menu bar having icons and select on the application
manager.
- After some moment you can see the list of installed apps including
the system apps.

AndroZip to do his work, you can find your apps' properly named
