Innards of an APK

[JJS]

By the way.

There is one thing i noticed before.

When the app is still installed and you go to Settings-->apps-->theapp 
then clear cache or other data before removing, then stuff related 
should also be gone.

I noticed once with another app. They can try it. But indeed normally 
nothing should be left behind i guess with an LC app.

Although other non-lc apps do leave stuff behind sometimes.
