Bulk Install

I did some searching but didn't find anything.
Is there a way to bulk install applications if you have all the apks for those applications?

Emm haven't tried it but it should work.
You could use wildcards.
So let's say you have a bunch of .apk's all in one folder, you could use adb to install them on your phone using this syntax:
Code:
adb install folder/*.apk
This should install all files ending with .apk in the folder

sweet, I'll give that a try and let you know how it works. Would make testing different roms alot easier.

Do you think this would bypass the market? If it did notification of updates would not work. hmm, ill have to test.

use atrackdog

Create a batch script with:
Code:
for %%f in ("C:\path\to\apks\*.apk") do adb install "%%f"

The easiest way (imo) if you are rooted:
1. Put all the apks into a folder structure \data\app
2. Create a text file with the following and rename it update-script (with no extension) then put it into a folder structure \META-INF\com\google\android
Code:
show_progress 0.5 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
show_progress 0.5 10
3. Zip both folder structures into a zip file (you should have folders data and META-INF at the root of the zip).
4. Sign it with signapk and you're done
Whenever you want to bulk reinstall, just put the signed zip file into your sdcard and reboot into recovery. When you want to add or remove apks from the bulk installer, just drag it into your zip file and resign.

Or you can backup all your apps into one folder on your sdcard and run this in terminal:
Code:
su
cd sdcard/apps
busybox install *.apk /data/app

I might add this feature into my ADB File Explorer app

I've added a basic feature to install apps into my ADB file explorer, it can do one off apk's or bulk install from a directory. See my sig for more details.

wow, that was fast! thanks!

Thank you for this. This will come in handy a LOT next ROM flashes :]
Seems so easy looking back on it, not sure why I didn't think of it earlier. I may even just edit the rom files to include my installed apps if I need to wipe.

someone made an app for the computer if you have the .apks you just plug in your phone double click the apk and run it and itll install on to your phone, try looking for that.

I just wiped my phone completely clean and reflashed to Cyanogen 3.6.1.
When I try this method, it gives me an error that I don't have enough space. Again, this is after a *complete* wipe.

I'm not sure whether it's using the 5 MB free or the 42 MB space, but Any Cut is 32 kb, so that's a non-issue.
Any ideas on why it's not working?

Do you have your sdcard partitoned to fat32 as the first one and then ext2(3) as your next partition?

I don't think so. If there is an ext2 or ext3 partition, I didn't set it up.
By the way, I got InstallAPK, which lets you double click on APKs on your PC and install them to phone immediately.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521295
It worked just fine at installing all my apps after the wipe.
Minus the fact that I had to double click on an app, wait for it to install, double click the next, wait for it to install, double click.... ad nauseum.........
I'm still interested in finding out why the method I posted in the screenshots isn't working.
Has anyone actually gotten it to work?

We're getting off topic but this is what you need to do in all likelihood you're gonna have to reflash Cy 3.6.1 again but before you do you're gonna need to setup your sdcard like this:
you can use either Paragon Partition Manager (above) Gparted, or SDSplit but you should set it up like the picture to run apps to sd and to fully get the Cy experience

I'm not trying to do apps to sd though.
All I want to do is run "adb install apk".

well how many apps are you trying to install?

Does anyone know if you get the controls in the notification menu like the current one in Froyo?

no controls in the notification menu...

Since this doesn't have any controls in the notification bar, does it have a widget or are there any controls for the lock screen?

Use any file manager like astro or root explorer. You can also use adb to push it to /system/app folder.
Goto market and download a file manager.

Ok connect your phone with usb to your computer turn on mass storage copy the apk file not the zip file to the root of your sd card.
Disconnect the phone from the computer open astro copy or move the apk file from the root of your sd card to /system/app folder and you are done.

Right, I've already tried this from the beginning and each file manager I use, including astro does not allow me to move the music player file into the system/app folder.

Follow this guide up to Step 3.
After you have ADB working, then type the following

[TOOL] Onandroid - Nandroid Backup Without Rebooting [Update!][v5.9]

UPDATE: No bug exists after all.
NOTE: Still can't be used by people using amarullz's ad2sd, finding fix.
First of all this is not my work, I just tweaked the script removing all unnecessary lines for our device and recompiled the script together with the fix.
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255
Thank you ameer1234567890 !
Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. This tool will allow us to make a nandroid backup without switching off the phone.

This tool backups /boot , /recovery , /system , /data , /cache , .android_secure & sd-ext partitions to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory. The date format used for folder name is the same used by CWM itself and nandroid backups created with this tool can safely be restored using CWM. If you would want to have a custom name for backup folder, pass an argument with the name to the script and it will use the name.
Requirements
1. Rooted android phone
2. A terminal emulator installed on phone
3. Busybox
4. A working CWM based recovery installed
5. Some patience
Installation
1. Download and copy zip file to SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash .
4. Reboot!
Usage
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type su to obtain root
3. Type onandroid
4. Wait and watch
Custom Backup Name
* Example:
Code:
onandroid custom_name
* Please be careful not to include characters not allowed in filenames.
Timezone modifier
* Example: Use home/phone timezone for backup file name
Code:
onandroid -h
* Example: Use UTC (default) for backup file name
Code:
onandroid -u
Changelog:
Code:
v5.8 - Initial Port.
v5.9 - Removed: More unnecessary lines.
Bug Fix: Partition detection.
Bug Fix: Include sd-ext folder in data partition whil skipping it's contents.

It works great, but I have a small problem. I use an INT2EXT script. When I do a backup from recovery it find sd-ext normally and backs it up. But now, when I do it online, it doesn't recognize sd-ext partition and therefore it thinks (and backs up) the apps I have from data folder. That will mess up the ROM when I restore the backup right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Onandroid is still not compatible with those kinds of flavors of data2SD where the phone's /data is mounted to /sd-ext and /sd-ext is mounted to /data. Amarullz, int2ext, mount2sd(using r-mount) are some examples, I would make a fix if i have more experience on script making/editing but I only have little knowledge at the moment, I'm still trying though only until ameer1234567890 fixed it himself. I'm still studying it xD
I myself was on amarullz's ad2sdx but since onandroid isn't compatible, I went back to s2e haha.

So I can't use this tool :<

I'm afraid so, I tried using onandroid on both amarullz and cronmod's int2ext+ and either bootloops occurs when restoring or automatic wipe of data/cache. Don't worry, we'll fix it but no ETA.

v9.1
version 9.1 is out
see tags for newer thread

Very nice indeed...work on stock rom...but when verifying md5sum, takes about 10 mnt, is that normal? It's my first use... but big thanks for this tool
Edit ---> works perfect, nandroid and restore was okay now...thakn again

it works with CM7.2 based ROM but now I'm on CM9.2 based ROM and it hangs on sd-ext partition (using Link2SD).

How would I change the path of the saved backup? Thanks, works great.

Hey. Just installed this and it returns an error "Sd Card not found". On a OnePlus One and it doesn't have an SD card. Is there a solution to this?

Can't Find Back ups Created By CWM 6.0.3 In The File Structure

Hello Everyone!!!
The problem i am facing is that the backups that I make with CWM they are not accessible to me in the directory structure. In recovery mode when i go to restore then there they are at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup but when i try to access this back up through ES file explorer then there is no file inside backup folder.
Then i went one step backwards in es file explorer and there is a Storage folder and SD Card folder. As i said before inside sdcard there is nothing in clockworkmod, while when i open Storage folder there are 3 folders emulated, SDCard0 and USB.
But cannot find the backup in them as well... Can any one tell me whats going on over here? Every time i take a back up it eats up to 1.7 gb and i am not able to remove them from the phone storage.

What file explorer are you using? I recommend ES File Explorer File Manager and be sure to give it root access.
Press the icon in the top left
Click 'Tools'
Click 'Root Explorer'
give access to root when it pops up.
You should now be able to see inside your /data/ folder

Glad you found them :good: Apps that require root to work *at all* will request access on startup. ES doesn't ask for it because it doesn't need it to run - apps only request root access when they're trying to access root i.e. pressing Root Explorer means ES needs access to root.

Those are just symlinks to the the same files. In 4.2.2 the file structure was changed to support multi-user accounts.
In 4.1.x your data files were stored in /data/media
in 4.2.x your data files are now stored in /data/media/0
Below is a screenshot of /data/media for a 4.2 file system, if you have any other folders in /data/media you can delete them, the two important ones you should not delete are 0 and legacy
You will need to use a root-enabled explorer to see the files/folders in /data/media
PS: in my screenshot, the clockworkmod is just a symlink to /data/media/0/clockworkmod as you can see from the little "shortcut" icon

As of 4.2 the file structure was changed. So before the update all your data was in a folder /data/media and now all the data should be in /data/media/0
The folders you are showing in your picture "0" and "legacy" actually are just links to the same primary folder which is /data/media/0. So even though it seems that there are two separate folders, it's actually the same one with the same contents. no duplicates.
During the update it MAY have happened that the files were copied to the new location (/data/media/0) BUT also remained in the old location (/data/media).
So in order to be able to see if there are any leftovers you would need a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer, and enable ROOT access to see the files in /data/media. If you do not enable ROOT access then the files won't show up in /data/media because they're hidden away from non superuser.
You are rooted right? What ROM are you running?
Oh, just a thought came to mind, what Music app are you using? Can you find out from which folders it's creating the library.

So in order to be able to see if there are any leftovers you would need a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer, and enable ROOT access to see the files in /data/media. If you do not enable ROOT access then the files won't show up in /data/media because they're hidden away from non superuser.
You are rooted right? What ROM are you running?
Oh, just a thought came to mind, what Music app are you using? Can you find out from which folders it's creating the library.
