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?

You need to have clockworkmod recovery to just use the update.zip.
Otherwise you need to grab the /recover/command off of a different update. I think the clockworkmod recovery update.zip comes with it.
Using the stock recovery, it needs to see the command file to work.

I get pretty much the same thing as case-sensitive. Except, after copying the recovery directory from the cwm update.zip to the sdcard root, I get an image of a box with a down arrow and an animated progress bar at the bottom and then the triangle ! after a couple seconds or so.
Any ideas?

root explorer will do it. i think androotfile will do it to. just go into system/app and delete the but make sure its mounted as r/w

I can't get these to install. Running CM6.1 beta2. There are no errors during the install in CWM recovery but when the device boots, none of the programs are there.

No, but it would be easier for you to go ahead and get clockworkmod installed. I have a post that links to a v0.8 version update.zip that will apply clockwork from the stock recovery.

Thank you. I have 2 questions. 1. I have "androotfile" installed and cant seem to get it to mount as R/W in order to copy and paste the files needed to get the android market to work right I get "unable to chmod/system/framework:read only file system. 2.

Then follow the first post in this thread.
I'm unsure what you are trying to copy exactly. This post doesn't talk about manually copying anything.

I've tried this twice already with a factory reset in between each try, and it's worked both times!
Attached is a bunch of files you will need to make this work.
1.Download the attached Zip file and extrat the contents to your desktop
2.Mount your G and upload the "G Tablet" folder to your G's internal SD card
3.Using AndRootFile or any other file manager that supports root access, mount as R/W, and copy the contents of G Tablet\permissions to System\etc\permissions.
4.Copy the contents of G Tablet\framework to System\Framework
5.Copy the contents of G Tablet\lib to System\lib
6.Copy all the APK's found inside G Tablet\APK into your system\app folder.
7.Install them in this order:
1.GoogleServicesFramework.apk
2.OneTimeInitializer.apk
3.SetupWizard.apk
4.Talk.apk
5.Vending.apk
6.Gmail.apk
7.Maps.apk
8.Make sure you remount it as R/O when you're done!
9.Restart your G, Connect to Wifi, then launch Market.
10.Follow the standard Google Account setup procedure and enjoy your newly installed Market.
I got these instructions on another thread and all worked untill I got to the part about coping files to other directorys. Thats when I got that error in andfileroot.

You are mixing two separate guides. You do not have to manually copy anything.
The thread you copied those instructions from is very old, and will not work as well as the one from this thread. I put together an update.zip that copies everything that needs to be copied, so you don't have to do those step.
It is very very simple:
Load the gapps update.zip to sdcard, run update.zip.

Do i need clock work mod to run this .zip cause the only option is to extract and there is no run.
PS really, thank you for your time

The download here will have two files in the zip.
One file will be an update.zip, the other is a folder that looks like this: /recovery/command. The folder with command in it tells the stock recovery to flash the update.zip on the sdcard.
If you want to keep stock recovery, then rename the gapps update.zip to literally "update.zip" and put the folder /recovery/command on your SDCARD. Then you will hold volume + and power to run it.
If you want clockwork, just unzip the download here to your SDCARD. It will have the update.zip and /recovery folder to flash clockwork.

You need to STOP with all the Jelly Time bootanimations!
I downloaded and installed the first because it was so cool.
Then you come out with a second one, had to choose, stayed with first.
Then Randomblame uses your second one in B9.1.
Now there are just to many good ones to choose from.
Really though, great work. Keep it up.

All are very good looking.
I do not know if it would be possible but, if you could create a way to have the system randomly pick one each time it booted, now that would be Awesome.
And then I would not have to choose...

I don't know if it's possible neither... you should ask a dev (I'm not)... I thing it's a little too much work...

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.

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.

[MOD] NavBar Gone. ( Root ) February update

I get a lot of requests to remove the NavBar. I'm posting this mod at each phone's forum themes section. TWRP flashable zip. Restore zip will be created in a folder named ozop on your sdcard.
8.1 February update
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850494336
8.0 November update
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617946322
8.1 preview
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291689241
Installation instructions for those of you that have root, but do not have TWRP. Busybox must be installed first.
1. Download the enclosed vrthemeADBversion zip and readme.txt for copying and pasting purposes.
2. Unzip the vrthemeADBversion zip to your sdcard. Rename folder to vrtheme
3. Put the readme.txt on your PC where you use adb.
4. Download appropriate NavBar Gone zip. Unzip and copy the system folder that is inside the vrtheme folder to the root of your sdcard.
5. On the root folder of your phone, find the data folder and create a folder inside it named tmp
6. Copy the vrtheme folder you earlier extracted to your sdcard to newly created data/tmp folder (/data/tmp/vrtheme)
7. On PC, with your phone connected and in file transfer mode, open CMD prompt and type "adb devices" without quotes. If your serial number comes up you can proceed.
8. Copy and paste the command lines from the readme.txt (include quotes)
adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /system"
Hit enter
First time you will be promoted by SuperSU to give adb permission.
Copy and paste the second line in readme.txt
adb shell su -c sh /data/tmp/vrtheme/installtheme.sh
There is also a Mod installer zip. If on Windows operating system you can unzip it where adb is running and run the bat file instead of typing or copying and pasting the commands.
Wait until everything runs, after a pause of a few seconds your phone will reboot and your NavBar should be gone.

They are the same. Easier to add files from AFH to keep track of and because of the 20mb limit but this one was under 20mb and I was having trouble at the time with AFH. Names are different I believe but same thing.

I thought on another thread you mentioned you were on Oreo?
Regardless, this is phone specific.

I just correct it ? i am working to upload the files you told me , I even know how to do that but i will use google to find the files you told me then i will pit them in a winrar file then i will upload it via google drive , thanks in advance ?

I didn't had BusyBox installed, busybox always caused bootloops but ur mods.zip from other forum worked just fine. Navbar is gone. No bugs or nothing.
It worked for me without busybox...strange Anyway thanks bud!!

@Tulsadiver Good day, i am unable to make this mod work with Oreo 8.1 December security update. I haven't tried it with the latest security patch because i am waiting for the February update.
Anyway i tried both methods the TWRP and the CMD one. After looking at the code it seems there are two issues one there is a directory issue instead of sdcard/system it should be /system since from the CMD log its reports it can't locate it so i did the change and that worked at the first stage but when it came to theme the framework or apply the changes it seems it couldn't locate the needed files.
Anyway i ended in 2 boot-loops after trying the zip version and after i did the change to the directory.
By the way i am using Magisk for root, and i have installed busybox but the i had to change the directory to bin instead of xbin on Oreo.
Thanks.

First of all, this is for the November update. Secondly, if you read the instructions correctly, you were to copy the system folder to your sdcard, hence, /sdcard/system
I have an Aroma installer that has Navbar gone in it but it is for January update.

Actually based on the instruction you stated:
5. On the root folder of your phone, find the data folder and create a folder inside it named tmp
6. Copy the vrtheme folder you earlier extracted to your sdcard to newly created data/tmp folder (/data/tmp/vrtheme)
You see the "Data" folder location is in the root of the directory and not in sdcard bescuase sdcard doesn't have a data folder, i think in step 6 you meant your phone instead of sdcard.
Any way i will wait for the February update and if you need any files once the update is here let me know, thank you for the work.
P.S :I would love it if you could do a step by step tutorial on how to minimize the navigation bar height and width to 0 and all the needed changes.
Thanks for your time and work.

You forgot this line
4. Download appropriate NavBar Gone zip. Unzip and copy the system folder that is inside the vrtheme folder to the root of your sdcard.

I'm not saying those instructions aren't the most convoluted instructions ever written, LOL. I actually made a adb installer with a menu for all the mods I had at the time and all you had to do was run the installer bat file, pick what you wanted and reboot. Everything was done for you. 8.1 got a working TWRP so I only posted it where TWRP wasn't available yet.

I know, i tried the twrp method first but the device will always boot to the recovery that's why I tried the alternative method in hopes it will work.

This had been updated to February update.
