I see your point but this can definetly be used for developmental purposes and its not an app for android its a windows app.

Just the fact that you can sideload without root or having sideloading enabled. Is a development really. Just for example with this you can actually push the gingerbreak.apk to your phone without having sideloading enabled to obtain root.
you can do that with adb too
and the sideload wonder machine
thanks alot...I have root access but don't have sideload, because I do everthing with adb oO

Android is really great, but there a few points of Android ownership that are a bit of a pain... one of which is installing APKs on your device. Enter installAPK!
The current release is Beta 1 - usual Beta caveats apply!
What it does
installAPK is currently for Windows only. After installation on your machine, you can double click APK files to install them on your USB attached android device. Simple as that!
Where do I get it?
Download the install EXE and USB drivers if required here at MoDaCo - http://shortun.com/3o
Anything else I should know?
This is the first Beta, tested on XP, Vista and Windows 7, but please post here with any issues!
P
PS Android SDK download / install is NOT required!
PPS More APK related fun coming from me soon!

Hi paul
nice to see you on here
your CAB file to phone app was great
will test this next time I need to install an app to install to my G1 from my pc
Regards
David
OMFG! You rock! <3
Nothing magic here...
It just runs 'adb install whatever.apk'.
Just as easy to simply associate "apk" files with the command "adb install".
Of course!
It does mean you don't have to manually download the SDK and grab ADB however... and just running this setup is easier than doing that, installing and associating.
It also puts a nicer GUI on it, a GUI that will be updated as development progresses, things like 'Save a copy of the APK on your storage card?' and much much more.
P
Wow will have to try it later
Might I suggest a Start Menu shortcut option, I created mine manually, but it'd be nice to leave the option to the user in the install process.
A start menu shortcut to do what?
P
To launch the program. I had to browse into the Program Files folder to launch it, and figured if it just automatically adds to the start menu, it's a tad bit easier.
Great app, but if your going to install a lot of apps after a wipe I find it better to setup a .bat file and just run it. After all the Hero roms I have installed it makes it 20 times faster. Here is the example on my batch file.
Code:
adb install apps\art.wild.gdocs.apk
adb install apps\at.abraxas.mountusb.apk
adb install apps\com.a0soft.gphone.aTrackDog.apk
adb install apps\com.androidapps.widget.battery.apk
adb install apps\com.ap.AppDock.apk

This idea intrigues me... are you running the .bat file from the tools folder or have you set up an environmental variable?
yeah I have the batch file in mt tools folder, and a apps folder that hold all my .apk in that tools folder as well.

glad to help
it would be nice if it had option of reinstalling when app is installed (adb install -r)

Alright. She has some weird program on there called "System Tools 2011" and I don't know how it got there. Right when you boot up, a minute into it, it pops up the app and a wallpapers and blocks you from A LOT of things. You can't back up files to a USB, can't access Control Panel, etc... when I did get into the Control Panel, it won't allow me to uninstall the app because it doesn't show up and there is no way to uninstall it. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Any ideas? Let me know please. Thanks.

Download RKill and run it!!! search Google about RKill. And stop turning it off and on...that will damage your computer to the point of no return
I've removed that virus from two computers already but read above!!!
Nice to see you around little one
Or you can google the name and find the registry keys for said virus and remove them. DOne that at work manny times and saves the time of backup and format
I have had to literally roll back my computer to an earlier date to get rid of the annoying pop ups and remove viruses like that. And yes, I got them from torrents.
As an IT Tech for many years those Viruses are a pain to deal with. I use a paid AV Boot CD called Avast BART or you can try using TRK (Trinity Rescue Kit) Bootable CD AV's work best as they are seperate from the OS. Try TRK just google it and burn it to a disk. Best of luck!
Malwarebytes/Spybot/NOD32 cocktail also does a pretty decent job at getting rid of that crap. Just remember to turn off System Restore or your viruses will be back upon booting your computer.
MalwareBytes anti-malware is great but some viruses are so good that they will block any known anti-virus program from executing.
What are the Symptoms of System Tool 2011 Infection?
It will modify Windows Registry and add the following entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\System Tool 2011
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “5648541024″
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “[random]”
The threat will drop the following malicious files:
%AppData%\[random]\
%AppData%\5648541024
%AppData%\5648541024\5648541024.bat
%AppData%\5648541024\5648541024.cfg
%AppData%\5648541024\5648541024.exe
%UserProfile%\Desktop\System Tool 2011.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\System Tool 2011.lnk
How to Remove System Tool 2011 Manually
1. Restart your computer in SafeMode
- Press F8 on keyboard as soon as you turn on the computer
- Select SafeMode to start the computer loading only minimal resources
2. Delete Windows registry entries the malware created. It is important to BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST.
- On Windows Start Menu, Click Start > Run
- Type in the field, regedit
- Find registry entries mentioned above and delete if necessary
3. Files related to System Tool 2011 must be deleted:
- Browse and delete malicious files detected above.
- Some files cannot be deleted instantly. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open Windows Task Manager, look for any virus-related files mentioned on this page and highlight it, click End Process. Try to delete the file once more.
4. Run Antivirus Program
- You must be connected to Internet to be able to update your anti-virus program. This is needed to have the latest database available and detect newer threats.
- Thoroughly scan the computer and clean or delete all detected threats.

if rkill doesn't work at the first time, keep running it until is says successful

Looks like just what I needed, huge THANKS!
Looks awesome. I wish that my PC (or my brain) wasn't broken.
I haven't been able to get ADB (of any kind, from any source) to run on my win7 64 bit machine...ever. I've had the SDK installed for a while now and have tried several times to get ADB working- today is no different.
Try the adb setup link in my sig!
But you don't need to know how to use adb to use this program
Edit: I got it. The link in your sig is what saved me. Checking this out now. Thanks!!

sorry but i dont have xp to try it and the authors website quoted in first post only says windows, im sure if there was more of a requirement he would have said so.
it runs on my win7 64x and that is usually the last supported windows so i would think xp is ok...
Doesn't recognize my phone. Droid Explorer does but this didn't. I already have adb installed on my win 7 64bit laptop.
did you point the program to where adb is installed?

Trouble getting hard adb root on Captivate GB 2.3.5 ROM
Android Commander 0.7.9.9 at http://androidcommander.com/ xda link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597098
I have a Samsung Captivate running a modified stock leaked GB 2.3.5 One flash ROM that has been Fugu rooted. TiBU, Rom Toolbox and other Super User apps all work.
So this program by PanPiotr looks like just what the noob in me is after, and I'm sure a few others out there too.
Once installed the program seems to be fine. I have one problem that I can't seem to overcome. That is getting a hard or adb root on the phone. I have tried to follow the instructions of PanPiotr but I don't have a boot.img file in my nandroid BU as outlined in his FAQs. Only cache.img, data.img, sd-ext.img and system.img I can use unyaffs-windows to extract the files in these but the default.prop appears to be calling to be loaded from ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung, which I can't seem to find.
I can modify the default.prop ro.debuggable=0 to =1 with root explorer but just doing it in the root doesn't help. I can't seem to find out which IMG file in my nandroid BU has or how to modify the default.prop file loader to get the ro.debuggable=1 to take or stay.
Consequently the Root Access indicator always says Root Access:NO
Any help would be appreciated.
TYIA
Bud
May have this worked out.
So I flashed a custom rom and kernel. Connected Android commander to phone and I have Root access:OK. Program works great. Thanks PanPiotr.
On the brighter side of all this while in recovery mode of the new kernel (CornKernel_UCKJ3_v403) I found a way of switching the toggle for debugging enabled to on if that kernel works with the rom I was on then that will work. It should so I'll give that a try and let you know.
EDIT:
So I just finished and this worked brilliantly. Hope it helps someone else.

WOW nice tool very needed

please add option for screen shots for more resolutions
Or to manually edit screen size CUSTOM.

Nice app bro.
I want to change the icons for all my apps and APK edit needs the .apk file. Unless there's an easier way to do this.
Adb shell
Would give u terminal
Then su.
Would give you root access
But you could also do ...
Adb pull /where/your/app/is/located

^ What he said. You can also use DroidExplorer but in my opinion it isn't the best thing to depend on.
For some reason I just couldn't get adb to work right. Every time I tried to launch it it screwed up and then closed again. I'll try DroidExplorer. If that doesn't help I'll try adb again. Thanks guys.
You have to use a command prompt. You don't just double click it to open.
Hm, when I tried to install DroidExplorer I got this:

you could use a root file explorer on your phone and copy all the apks to your sdcard, mount that to the pc, modify the apks, and then either drop all those back in with the same file explorer or make a flashable zip containing all of them...

adb pull /system/app/nameoffile.apk
or
adb pull /system/app/*
so much faster.
if you dont learn how to use ADB, you will find yourself up **** creek at some point, if you plan on doing ANY modifications/theming. especially theming, because if you screw up your framework-res.apk, you have no way of fixing it without adb access....
lets not take the lazy ass way out of it here. when you are doing anything to your phone, you should know basic adb commands. if you dont, you shouldnt be touching your phone
This page should help with learning the commands
>>HERE<<
This page is a thread where I had problems with adb on Ubuntu

And this is a page that Pirateghost recommends on getting you started with adb

Now, we have done about everything we can for at this point, short of coming to your home and doing it for you. Have fun, and be careful out there.
