How can I view the .apk files of currenly installed apps on my android phone?

Answer

Use a file manager to look in the following locations:

1. /data/app


2. /data/app-private



3. /system/app/


4. /sdcard/.android_secure (shows .asec files, not .apks)
   On Samsung phones: /sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure

You need to be rooted to view the first three.
