Hi,
According to my knowledge,
We have 2 types of Android app,
1. System app: this locate in /system/app folder of Android phone
2. Normal app: this locate in /data/app folder of Android phone
We also have 2 ways to install app on Android phone:
1. using adb push it into /system/app, it will be installed as a system
app, later, you will have to do all the steps to uninstall it:
- adb shell rm the apk
- adb uninstall the package
2. using adb install, this will treat your app as normal app and put it
in /data/app folder with the name in format: app.package.apk, you can
either uninstall it directly using adb uninstall or rm the apk first.
Note that sometimes we may need to specify a .keystore to properly
install or uninstall an app, especially widgets.
Regards,
Nam
