Apps Problem

---

i have .apk files from my previous android devices and have copied them to my Samsung galaxy sII system/apps folder and they showed up in the apps drawer - they were not installation files.

i am trying the same scenario on my transformer prime but the apps do not show up in the apps drawer

any ideas

apk files are the install files. to install them you have to check install from unknown sources from the settings menu.

thats another problem - they can't be downloaded from the market as they came pre-installed on my previous device

In which case they probably rely on Samsung framework and they will never work.
