Use ES File Explorer to Unlock Hidden Android Apps (#12daysoftips)

If you have an Android device that you didn't purchase from Google directly (and even so, this trick may apply to you), then the company that made your device (and usually the Android OS as well) has probably hidden some (or most) of the stock Android apps that should be packaged, and replaced them with their own apps (or they just don't replace them at all). It is possible to find these apps, however, thanks to a nifty tool named ES File Explorer. You can download it here for Google Play devices, or here for those of you with Kindle Fires.
